Horror Game Designer Chapter 58: Flower

Gao Ming had seen the figurine of the God of Flesh and Blood in the restaurant underneath Building A before, but there was only one figurine there. There were eight figurines in this blood pool and each figurine held a bleeding heart like they were coming alive.

“The God of Blood and Flesh saw Xuan Wen’s memory. The eight heads are the eight female characters from the dating sim!”

Xuan Wen took out the portraits and power the shadow world had provided to the other eight female characters, and that was her weakness too. The shadow world wouldn’t allow Xuan Wen to change her fate. Xuan Wen had to fight the God of Flesh and Blood and the attack from the eight other female characters.

The heart beat. Gao Ming controlled his body to drag Lee Xiao to slam into the figurine closest to them. Blood mist appeared in the murky pool. They fought above the figurines. Gao Ming had eaten the meat, so he recovered faster than Lee Biao. Furthermore, Lee Biao’s consciousness was slowly eroded by the blood water. He gulped down the blood, and his gaze wavered. The butcher became the animal he butchered.

After dealing with him, Gao Ming rushed to push down the other figurines. He realised that after his wounds touched the stone hearts, the blood vessels on the surface of the figurines would crawl into his body, and the figurines would crack. Gao Ming used this method to destroy the figurines, but the female characters didn’t plan to let Xuan Wen go. The thick hatred gouged out wounds on Xuan Wen’s body. She was grasped by the shadow world, and she couldn’t escape with her own power. Gao Ming carried Xuan Wen’s body, and he also became the target of the female characters. His healing wounds opened up again.

“I’ll bring you out of here!”

Gao Ming pushed Xuan Wen to the water's surface. The moment she took in the fresh air, Xuan Wen’s eyes flew open. Broken faces appeared in her eyes. At that moment, the investigators in the butcher’s shop seemed to hear something. Their gaze turned murky. A ghost’s shadow appeared in their pupils. Using their broken bodies, they lunged at Xuan Wen, trying to knock her back into the pool. Gao Ming had just broken the surface when he was knocked back down by a dead body. The eight female heads didn’t plan to let him go. He was a killer like Xuan Wen.

“Give me your hand!” As Gao Ming sank, someone grabbed his chains. Gao Ming worked with Xuan Wen and barely got to the edge of the pool. They stuck close to the wall, surrounded by mad investigators.

“Situ An has forcibly cultivated this anomaly to level four!” Gao Ming was incredibly tired, but his heart kept providing him with energy. He felt like a ball of fire was burning in his chest. There were only two ways to put out the fire: to burn the enemy or to burn himself.

“We need to get away from the pool. The God of Flesh and Blood wants to take over my mind. If I don’t eat this horror story, it will eat me.” Xuan Wen spoke quickly, “There are many of them, but they are not mentally there. As long as we don’t fall into the water…” At that moment, Gao Ming was dragged into the water by the heads that bit on his legs. Beautiful faces swam in the water. The eight heads were like beautiful piranhas.

“It was Wei Dayou who designed you. Why are you attacking me?”

Gao Ming was agitated. He grabbed at the heads. “Die!”

“They are made by the God of Flesh and Blood. They can’t be killed.”

“Then, I’ll eat them!” Gao Ming grabbed a swimming head. He wanted to press the head into his wounds to have the blood that came from his heart digest it.

Xuan Wen knew Gao Ming was giving it his all. She pulled the chains to yank Gao Ming out of the pool. The commotion inside the shop attracted much attention. When Gao Ming and Xuan Wen heard the rapid footsteps in the corridor, their faces paled. It sounded like Situ An with his people.

“Run! Leave those human heads!” Xuan Wen jumped into the pool to push Gao Ming up. “The God’s consciousness is all over Si Sui Apartments, but its consciousness is not in the figurines. It might be hidden in one of the tenants. We need to find it and kill it!” Xuan Wen had given up on leaving. The footsteps appeared inside the stop.

Several seconds later, a cute girl with a ponytail poked her head out of the corner. “Wow…”

“Yuan Yuan, don’t go running about!” Following behind her was her big sister. Soon, the ghost mother with the black hair and Granny Busybody entered the shop. Wan Qiu and Zhou Ji were the last to enter.

“Wan Qiu!” Gao Ming didn’t expect that Wan Qiu was still alive. In fact, he appeared to adjust to this place better than most.

“Don’t be scared. They’re my friends.” Wan Qiu tried to pick up the butcher’s knife. “I’ll save you.”

“You better back up.” The young man with arms bound with black bands walked over. He picked up the knife. “The name’s Ghostie. We’ve met before.”

Ghostie didn’t hesitate to kill the remaining investigators. These people who worshipped the God of Flesh didn’t deserve mercy. The murder didn’t stop. Blood was everywhere. Everything was destroyed, and blood leaked out between the walls. Si Sui Apartments trembled.

The blood pool that was used to serve the God of Flesh and Blood had enough sustenance. The figurines in each room started to break as the blood within them gathered downstairs. As Gao Ming and Xuan Wen left the shop alive, the consciousness of the God of Flesh and Blood felt real danger.

“We have to go to the basement of Building A! The ancestral hall of the God of Blood and Flesh is there. It has gathered enough blood and faith. Its main consciousness is about to descend!” Xuan Wen had fought with the God of Flesh and Blood before. Combined with her special power, she knew God’s secrets. “No matter whose the God’s consciousness is in now, they will hurry to the ancestral hall now.”

“No! We have to go save Yan Hua!” Gao Ming shouted firmly. The remaining tenants joined Gao Ming as they rushed downstairs. When they passed by the fourth floor, Gao Ming noticed that all the white lanterns were out. Gong Xi’s room was cleared out. They took a turn and entered the first floor of Building A.

At that moment, Situ An and the surviving investigators opened the front door of Building A. They walked in from outside.

“We meet again. I’m surprised you survived the ninth-floor’s butcher shop.”

Situ An saw Gao Ming instantly. He waved behind him. Qing Ge and three investigators worked together to carry out a dead body. The body was covered in wounds and black characters. Even then, his muscles were tense. He was ready for battle.

He was courageous since he was young. He was a flower grown in the worst environment. However, he never feared pain and torture. He never believed in fate. He drilled his roots into the darkest soil. He aimed his punches at the sky.

Be it winter or heavy rain, he bloomed proudly. Even if one day the sun came down, he would not lower his head.
