Horror Game Designer Chapter 201: NPC

“I can produce all the anomalies from Level 1 to Level 4 myself. I can even review and reward the bosses of each stage.” Gao Ming had many ghosts around him. He had the art teacher and the PE teacher, who both had a resentment room. He had a death portrait of the school teachers in his heart. He could reconstruct Han De Private School if he wanted.

“Ghosts alone are not enough. A senior psychiatrist has once given this definition to fear--When one doesn’t have the resources or abilities to solve the threat, one will fear the sense of anxiety and fear.

“I need to maximise the player’s survival desire and extreme emotions. I can do that through many methods.

“Elements such as unsafe environment, horrifying atmosphere and various tricks and hints…”

Gao Ming was a perfect horror game designer. He worked at a heavy-crime penitentiary and was familiar with human psychological weakness. He had studied a lot of twisted criminals. He not only understood the formation of fear but also had personally experienced it from his many deaths. Just in terms of deaths alone, Gao Ming could come up with thousands of ways for one to die. It was all practical knowledge.

Before dawn, Gao Ming split up from Liu Yi and went back to the old city. After he got out of the car, he got a message from Wan Qiu, “The house has been taken over. I’m waiting for you in the third alley at Min Long Street.”

“A message from Wan Qiu? Is he being threatened?”

Class 13 was the target of the investigation centre. Too many people wanted to harm them at Han Hai.

“It’s not safe at home, but it’s even dangerous to send such information through messages.”

Gao Ming thought about it and entered the corridor next to it. He took out the death portrait of the birthday cake and entered the shadow world through the door his parents opened. He got out of the car near Min Long Street. After walking for a few minutes in the shadow world, he came to the location mentioned in the message.

The birthday cake death portrait looked useless, but it allowed Gao Ming to travel freely between the two worlds. It meant that it would take a lot of work for the investigation centre to catch him.

The familiar sound of rain entered his ears as Gao Ming looked out through the gap in the door. A few investigators from the Li San Investigation Centre held various weapons and hid in the alley to make an ambush. Wan Qiu hugged Fa Cai and curled up in the corner. The kid looked so sad, like a kitten who had just been adopted and then abandoned.

“Team leader, do you think Gao Ming will return?” The people from Investigation Team Two were nervous.

“When the tenants at Li Jing Apartments 1 disappeared, I knew something was wrong with Gao Ming. If not for Qin Tian and Bai Xiao, I would have captured him a long time ago.” Ma Lian, the team leader of Team 2, was very confident.

“What kind of people are in Class 13 that the chief gave us the personal order to arrest them? I saw a video on the internet. It said that the students from Class 13 knew the truth. They…”

“We are people from the investigation centre. Do not forget that. The scapegoats released that video to drive a wedge between us and the citizens!” Ma Lian glared at his subordinates. “Stop talking and keep an eye on that kid!”

Hearing the conversation, Gao Ming had a deeper understanding of his situation.

“The investigation centre is very hostile towards Class 13. It looks like I have to speed up.” Gao Ming pushed open the door. He strode into the back alley and appeared between the investigators and Wan Qiu. The investigators felt surreal seeing the person they were looking for just sauntering into their trap.

“Gao… Ming?” Ma Lian was startled. Before he could react, Wan Qiu hugged Fa Cai and ran into the rain. Wan Qiu thought Gao Ming didn’t want him anymore. However, he was proven wrong. Gao Ming still came back for him even though he knew it was a trap.

“Team 2 is here, so Team 3 is probably at my home.” Gao Ming stood before Wan Qiu and looked at the investigators. “Li San Investigation Centre must be peaceful lately for the centre to send so many people to capture me.”

“Gao Ming, give up resistance! Follow us back to Li San Investigation Centre now!” Ma Lian’s voice was forceful. He wasn’t giving Gao Ming a choice.

“Your attitude towards me was very bad last time. You’re no better this time.” Gao Ming planned to clean up the Li San Investigation Centre. He looked at the investigators and showed no fear. “Fa Cai, now.”

The investigators paused and turned to look at Ma Lian. They panicked. After all, Gao Ming was someone who managed to leave a Level 4 Anomaly alive. Hearing Gao Ming, Fa Cai rolled his rotund body. He hugged Gao Ming’s leg from behind and poked his head out with his watery eyes. He seemed to be asking why Gao Ming was calling him.

The cat meowed, and the investigators looked at him.

“Dumb tricks! Catch him!” Ma Lian felt like he had been tricked. He pulled out a taser and aimed it at Gao Ming angrily. However, as he was about to pull the trigger, an indescribable fear enveloped his body.

Screams came from behind him. Ma Lian suddenly realised the rain couldn’t fall on him anymore. A shadow loomed over him. Eight arms expanded around him. The walls and floor turned into flesh. All the investigators were shoved into God’s resentment room.

“Li San Investigation Centre will need new blood soon. I’ll use this chance to send in my people to aid Bai Xiao.” Gao Ming didn’t kill the investigators. He planned to use his method to turn them over.

“Why didn’t you send them into your heart? Do they not have the right to be turned into tools? I’m running out of paint.” Xia Yang grumbled. In the past, Gao Ming didn’t know Teacher Xia was so fussy.

Hugging Fa Cai, Gao Ming led Wan Qiu into the shadow world.

Wan Qiu, who was so careful in real life, became very curious in the shadow world. The shadow would actively approach him. Even the shadow felt he was friendly. The last time Wan Qiu entered the shadow world, he took a different path. However, both times, he showed an affinity with animals, shadows and children.

He opened the door to Min Long Street 4. Wei Dayou and the villagers from Bo Wan Village rushed over.

“Gao Ming! My God! Why were you gone for so long? We thought something happened to you!” Wei Dayou gave Gao Ming a bear hug.

“It’s nothing big. I just attended a high school reunion.” Gao Ming called everyone he could trust to the supermarket. The humans stood on the left, and the ghosts and the infected investigators stood on the right.

“Han Hai East City is sinking into chaos. I need everyone’s help.” Gao Ming scanned everyone’s face. There were normal villagers, elite investigators from Han Hai, newbies who had lost hope in the investigation centre, and Han De Private School students who were made sacrifices by Situ An. On the other side, there were all kinds of ghosts.

“Just say it. We’ll help if we can.” Wei Dayou patted his chest.

“I need you to act as NPC in my horror games.”
