Horror Game Designer Chapter 2: Family

The mud on the bottom of the boots dirtied the floor. Qi Yan shut the door and locked it. His hand, hidden under the sleeve, tightened. His breathing turned heavy. The media called him the Rainy Night Murderer, and he loved it for its simplicity and fearfulness.

“How should I thank him for taking me in?” His eyes were almost covered in blood. Qi Yan stared at Gao Ming’s back. He loved to hunt kind people. He loved to ruin the beauty of the world.
