Horror Game Designer Chapter 128: Humanity's Shiniest Moment

Once the centre was on Situ An’s side, endless investigators would stand in Gao Ming’s way, and Gao Ming didn’t want to see that.

After deciding on a meet-up code with Ding Yuan, Gao Ming left with the spare map. If he didn’t leave then, the big dog would probably stay with Yan Xizhi forever.

Gao Ming checked the blue areas of all the other big ghosts. Some places looked normal, but they were like Yan Xizhi’s storeroom. They needed to use special methods to enter the Resentment Room.

“The death realm is made up of many different Resentment Rooms. Many different ghost stories appear to become a spiralling story.”

Han De Private School hadn’t fully lost control because Situ An and his unknown ghost were in a conflict. When they reached a compromise or when one party ate the other, the school would go out of control.

The school was a cage. After the cage was open, the school would become the new contagion source of Han Hai.

The weak light appeared down the horizon. Gao Ming spent his first night at the school. He didn’t dare to go back to the bedroom but went to the canteen.

“The sun is coming up. My power is limited. The students here can use the rules to kill me.” The big dog felt threatened. He didn’t follow Gao Ming but hid inside the black-and-white picture. “The rules are stronger in the day. Why is that? Is it related to the students? Most of the students would be asleep at night.” Gao Ming thought about it. “As more people follow the rules, the more powerful the rules?”

Gao Ming thought about the game he made for Xuan Wen. As more people remembered Xuan Yuan, the harder it was for the shadow world to kill XUan Wen.

Gao Ming ordered his breakfast, and soon, the students came from the hostel building.

“They weren’t quiet the last time. I wonder how many of them are ghosts now.”

Once the night was over, the students started to send messages in the chat group. They asked about each other. In the end, they decided to meet up at the canteen. Then, they would follow Yuan Hui’s suggestion and go to Classroom 13. 20 minutes later, the students gradually arrived. Some of them looked like they hadn’t slept a wink. Some looked like nothing was different.

“Gao Ming!” Xi San saw Gao Ming from a far. He led Wang Jie and Du Bai to his side. Compared to his passion, Wang Jie was calmer. After comparing the code, he sat down beside Gao Ming.

“Where were you last night?”

“The manager auntie in the red jacket was guarding the front door, so I couldn’t leave. I went to the toilet on another floor to hide.” Gao Ming stretched. “What about you guys?”

“Du Bai went to the blue manager’s room. The two of us barely survived!” Xi San was excited. He was about to explain the story when Qian Junran stood up to clap his hands.

“Everyone, please listen to me.” Qian Junran stood on the chair. “After yesterday night, everyone should understand how dangerous it is. I was so scared yesterday night. I was shivering, but fear would only blind us. Therefore, we have to overcome it! We have our own families and things we can’t leave behind. For them, we have to survive!”

“Right! Well said!” The fatty who shared the bedroom with Ma Tao waved his arms.

“Once one was born, one would fight fear! It was similarly how our ancestors walk out of the darkness!” Qian Junran got into it. “We can survive! Ghosts are not scary! With human’s intelligence, we can find a way out!”

“We can’t give up. At most, we can fight the ghosts!” Cai Meimei agreed. “Do they think they can scare us? No way!” “Courage is the most beautiful thing about humanity!” The students cheered for each other. Gao Ming was shocked by their optimism. It appeared like only certain rooms were targeted yesterday night.

As the students gathered together, Qian Junran showed confidence and shook his fists. “After we have our fill, we’ll go to class! Class 13 will win!”

Wang Jie sat the furthest from Qian Junran. “This idiot. The ghost probably won’t even want to take his body because he’s too dumb.”

Everyone had their own method of handling a problem, so Gao Ming said nothing.

After breakfast, even though Wang Jie kept grumbling, he chose to attend the class with everyone. Walking through the familiar corridor, the students of Class 13 returned to the same classroom. Pushing open the door of Class 13 on the fourth floor, the blackboard, projector, tables, and chairs looked normal. However, there was a thick rope hanging above each chair.

The strangest thing was each noose had a different length. When everyone sat back in their seats, they realised the nooses reached their necks perfectly.

“These nooses are problematic. They might loop around our necks at any time. I suggest we cut the ropes, but don’t make it too obvious.” Cai Meimei took out her nail scissors from her bag.

“Pay attention to the surroundings. The windows and doors are the focus. If there’s danger, we have to follow the evacuation plan.”

“Be careful of the fans above our heads. The classroom has both air-conds and fans. I suspect they will fall. This is a trap.” Fatty pointed above his head.

“You have a point. Look. When we’re together and gather our thoughts, many scary things are not scary!” Qian Junran looked at the students. “Seeing this, I can’t help but be reminded of a book I read--The shining moment of humanity!”

Gao Ming, who was watching everyone, couldn’t help but cover his face when he heard that. At least ⅕ of the people in the classroom were ghosts.

The clock ticked. When there were still 15 minutes to class, a young woman in the centre uniform entered the classroom. She wore the Teacher’s ID and scanned everyone. She took the podium and wrote down two numbers on the blackboard, 31, 13.

Gao Ming narrowed his eyes. There were 44 people in the classroom.

“The two numbers add up to the total number of people. Do the numbers represent the numbers of ghosts and humans?” Gao Ming looked around. At that moment, the classroom door opened again.

Zuo Jun, in the school uniform, appeared at the door. He looked more mature, but he still gave off a silly and honest feeling.

“Zuo Jun!” Many people stood up. Their eyes shot out fire.

“Find a place to sit.” The teacher waited for Zuo Jun to take his seat and changed the 31 on the blackboard to 32.
