Horror Game Designer Chapter 366: Union

The leader of team one was very casually dressed. He looked like a normal working-class citizen. Only those close to him knew how scary he was. At that moment, the kind and normal Gao Mings didn’t know how unique he was. They purely wanted to help him.

The two injured members were aided. They reacted even greater than their leader when they saw the two Gao Mings. Their targets appeared just like that. They didn’t have the ability to kill or murder them but were helped by them.

They had a lot of complicated thoughts. They felt conflicted. They wanted to make a move, but it felt so dirty. The leader had a complicated look on his face. However, it was not the time to hesitate. “We need to escape from the monster’s line of sight to evade it. I’ll fix it in place for seven seconds. Use that time to hide downstairs!” His black hair rapidly turned white. The watch around his wrist ticked. The mist that curled around the time needle started to move backwards!

“Run!” The leader shouted. However, he collapsed to the ground. His energy was drained by his watch. Seeing this, the kind Gao Ming gritted his teeth and grabbed the man. He carried two injured men and hurried down the stairs. They didn’t have a fixed route. They found a random door and went inside it to hide. They held their breaths and didn’t dare to make any sound. They only sighed slightly when the pitter-patter of the limbs moved away.

The monster didn’t seem to dare to barge into the rooms. This appeared to be one of the rules.

The kind Gao Ming switched on the lights and rummaged through the room. The three security members became nervous. Moments later, the kind Gao Ming reappeared with a medkit. He wanted to bandage the injured men.

“I’m a dead man. Leave the medicine for others.” The man whose legs were swallowed rejected the medication. He still couldn’t believe he had been saved by Gao Ming.

“There’s no need for bandage. This is a curse. It can’t heal normally.” The leader had slightly recovered. He looked at the two Gao Mings and didn’t know what to say.

“You called out our names earlier. Do we know each other?” The kind Gao Ming caught a detail. He knelt down before the leader of Team One. “Based on your reactions, you seem to hate me too.”

“Why too?” The leader didn’t answer but asked his own question.

“We encountered Yuan Hui earlier. He wore the same uniform as you do. He is supposed to be our classmate, but he desperately wants to kill us.” The normal Gao Ming took out a bottle of water. He had a large gulp. As time passed, the sting of hunger became more prominent.

“You recognise Yuan Hui, but you don’t remember us?!” The leader’s eyes stayed on Gao Ming’s school uniform. A hypothesis appeared in his mind, “Does your memory halt in your high school years?”

The normal Gao Ming wanted to answer, but the kind Gao Ming stopped him. The latter was kind but not stupid.

“Don’t worry. You saved the three of us. We’ll not do anything to harm you, at least while we’re still in this apartment building.” Once the leader said that, the other two stopped looking at them with alertness. “Now, can you tell me why are there two of you?”

“We don’t know why.” The normal Gao Ming shook his head. “We only have memory until the 14th of July. We plan to escape this place. Do you want to come with us?”

“Wait. Can you tell us why you’re after us?” The kind Gao Ming pointed at their uniform. “Yuan Hui wears the same uniform. He also wears the red band you have.”

The leader didn’t lie and told them the truth. He shared everything he knew about how Gao Ming started the Dead Water Forum, killed K, and fought with the security team at Li San Hospital. From how he described it, Gao Ming sounded like the king of the underworld at Han Hai.

“Are we that amazing?” Both Gao Mings were stunned. However, the normal Gao Ming soon calmed down. There were many Rooms 0715. Each choice represented one Gao Ming. The best among them would definitely reach such heights.

“You are more than amazing to be so targeted by the investigation centre headquarters.” The leader smiled sadly, “You are the target for us and Yuan Hui. The headquarters even came up with the whole selection event to set up a trap to kill you.”

“Just to kill me?” The normal Gao Ming shook his head. “We were hiding in the bedroom earlier. However, the door was left slightly open. I heard Yuan Hui’s people saying that they had three targets this time. I am just one of them.”

“Three?” The leader raised his brow. “Who are the other two?”

“The second target is called Wan…” The normal Gao Ming tried to think. “Right. Wan Jie! We were able to escape because their second target was heading upstairs. They left to chase after him.” Hearing this name from Gao Ming caused the three to break out in a cold sweat. They looked at each other.

“Impossible! The headquarters value Wan Jie a lot! We are also the headquarters’ strongest security unit!” The man who had lost his legs crawled towards Gao Ming, “You’re trying to divide us!”

“I don’t even know who Wan Jie is!” The normal Gao Ming said helplessly. He didn’t even know how to lie.

“The headquarters actually have a lot of issues with Wan Jie. Formally, he should be above Jing Tuoshen. If not for the issues at Han Hai, the headquarters wouldn’t have moved him here.” The leader of Team One knew a lot of secrets. “However, the headquarters wouldn’t want Wan Jie dead. They need him to keep Jing Tuoshen and the research department under balance.”

“So… Is it Jing Tuoshen who wants to kill Wan Jie?” The normal Gao Ming guessed.

“The mud figurines can suppress the ghost tattoos, turning us into normal humans. Does Jing Tuoshen want to use this anomaly to bury all the voices that oppose him?” The leader’s pupils trembled. “No wonder the vice-captain of Team Two, Zuo Yin, urged us to get to her. Jing Tuoshen has always wanted to claim Wan Jie’s eyes for himself!”

“But we can’t help Boss in our state.” The member with the missing legs said in pain. “Even if we go to him, we’ll only be his burden.”
