Horror Game Designer Chapter 337: Humans and Ghosts

“Once a human falls into the realm of a ghost, they can’t turn back anymore. They are no longer your family. They are the curse the shadow world has placed on you!” The hostess’ smile disappeared, and she said severely, “Luo Dong, we’ve been paying attention to you for a few days. We have huge expectations of you. If you are willing to surrender your family, I can bring you to see a brand new world.”

Luo Dong gripped his fists. He couldn’t speak as his body trembled. He couldn’t understand how a person who had just sacrificed his wife to escape dared to say such a thing to him.

That was his wife, even after she died. It didn’t matter if she was a human or a ghost. The only thing that mattered was death didn’t pull them apart. If anything, it was another human who split them up. Hatred slowly twisted his soul. Luo Dong had always been a calm person, but at that moment, he wanted to rush over to tear off the woman’s lips.

“Snap out of it! Your family is dead. They do not exist anymore. You are only making the shadow world’s curse stronger. They are poison!” The hostess hated the shadow world. “If you do not leave your family behind, they are a moving pollution source. Eventually, they’ll become a new anomaly.

“Then, your trusted Dead Water Forum will issue a mission to hunt them down. The other horror game players will pursue you and your family like animals. Instead of letting that happen, you need to leave them behind so you can start a new life.”

The hostess was a security member. She was used to death. Her words were mocking and chilly.

“Can you stop talking?” Even Yu Ruohu couldn’t stand it anymore. “Ol’ Luo’s wife is trapped. It’s normal for him to be worried. Why are you doing this?”

“We should get downstairs. You still need to take care of your son and daughter,” Yu Ruolong quickly changed the subject, “Brother, we should focus on leaving this anomaly first.”

“If the thing that barks is a human, then the person inside the office toilet should know something!” Yu Ruohu pulled Luo Dong to his son and daughter. After he found out they were ghosts, Yu Ruohu was still a bit scared, and he didn’t dare to get too close.

“Mom is still back there…” Luo Dong’s daughter suddenly spoke. This startled Luo Dong. Earlier, he undid the limitations on his daughter. Normally, his daughter should have transformed into a curse and tortured everyone around her. However, once Gao Ming carried her out of the fourth floor, she miraculously found her rationality.

Thinking back to what Gao Ming said, Luo Dong’s eyes filled with blood. He was such a good person. Gao Ming had sacrificed himself for Luo Dong twice. What Gao Ming said about him once having a complete family touched Luo Dong.

“Brother…” Luo Dong was still weak. This city had too many things that could easily take his family away from him. However, his will changed at that moment, “I’ll get you back no matter what!”

“The world will never change for a person’s will. We are always making the mistake of thinking that we’re the main character,” The hostess knew that it was pointless to recruit Luo Dong, so she left for the third floor.

They returned to the office. The office remained the same. The mutated monsters didn’t seem like they dared to enter this office.

They pried open the toilet floor. Blood was everywhere.

There was no toilet bowl in the toilet. Instead, there was a giant tub and dog chains covered in blood.

There was a weak dog bark. The scene caused the two criminals from the Catfish Gang to cover their eyes. A horror game player who entered the building before they did lay beside the tub. His limbs and neck were locked by dog collars. There was an ugly gash around his neck. There was some unknown animal fur and pebbles in his wound. Luo Dong instantly wanted to remove the collars, but once the collars were moved, the person barked in pain. The phone that he hid in his pocket fell out. He resisted the pain and wrote down a string of numbers.

“Is this a code?” Luo Dong picked up the phone and turned it on. Other than the messages from Dead Water Forum, there were many videos recorded hours ago.

The player’s name was Pencil. He was a former model and had a very good figure. He and his mates entered the old city to explore before dark and accidentally entered this building. The videos recorded their discovery. At first, they didn’t find anything wrong. They reached the fifth floor and saved the female manager of this company inside the elevator. That was when the misfortune started. The female manager had the surname Nian. She was an expert at manipulation. After she gained their trust, she pushed them down the abyss.

The last video was of the sixth floor. Once the elevator opened, static music entered their ears. All the employees were working. They looked very normal, but no one spoke. Manager Nian led them through the pet spa area to the special pet training and protection zone. When the sky darkened, she told them they had to destroy a mud figurine in the training zone if they wanted to escape.

As the day darkened, the normal employees started to change. They were already poisoned by the shadow world! There were so many of them that the horror game players couldn’t get back to the elevator. They had no choice but to enter the training zone. The video ended there. Luo Dong wanted to know what was inside the training zone. However, Pencil could only bark. However, from Pencil’s gaze, something terrifying must have happened in the training zone.

“The mission is to destroy the figurine. Now that we know its location… Should we risk it?” Yu Ruohu suggested nervously, “We have no better choice.”

In the group, Luo Dong was the one who wanted to end this anomaly the most. However, he was clever and calm. “Manager Nian and Xiao Wu are both clever people. They will not expose such an obvious flaw. This might be a trap.”

“Then, where else can the mud figurine be?” After seeing Pencil, Yu Ruohu felt guilty for leaving Gao Ming on the fourth floor.

Luo Dong was silent and then moved to check Pencil’s wound. “I’m sorry for the pain.”

He dug out the fur and pebbles from the wound. He placed the pebbles before his son. Luo Dong’s son quickly moved away. Luo Dong wiped away the blood and finally noticed the mysterious divine pattern carved into the pebbles.

“Is our only choice to physically destroy the mud figurine? Is there another solution?” Luo Dong frowned.
