Horror Game Designer Chapter 60: Eyes

“Eight consciousness and one body. Four faces with no eyes.” Situ An’s eyes fired with madness when he saw the figurine. “20 years of sacrifice has finally succeeded.”

“This thing wants to kill all of us! Gao Ming, save my grandma!” The pool of blood surrounded the figurine. Gong Xi had to rely on Gao Ming, but Gao Ming only had Situ An in his eyes. The meat fragrance filtered into his nostrils. Gao Ming’s mutated heart was sucking his potential dry. His heart turned into a torture room. Misfortune-filled black characters descended like prayers. Gao Ming was also affected by the God of Flesh and Blood.

Blood thread pierced through the eye. Gao Ming ignored the rest and grabbed onto the chains. Even if he died, he had to bring Situ An with him. Situ An lost his interest in Gao Ming when he saw the complete figurine. He wanted to kill Gao Ming because he blocked his way, but he had a more important thing to do.

“God of Blood and Flesh!” A thick meat fragrance came out of the figurine. Everyone who had eaten the meat was affected. The blood level descended in the blood pool. Blood capillaries crawled out of the shadows and into the figurine. They swam inside the figurine and gathered in the middle of the eight arms. Situ An used twenty years and killed so many people for this moment.

The living human heart at the base of the figurine started to wilt. As blood was injected, a translucent heart appeared in the middle of the eight arms. It seemed to be both fake and real. It existed and did not. This was a heart that shouldn’t be. The shadow world and the real world hadn’t overlapped. Situ An used blood sacrifice and many investigators to feed this horror story and cultivate it into reality before time.

“Is this the heart of God?”

In the crowd, Xuan Wen and Situ An ran towards the ancestral hall at the same time. Their goal was clear: to snatch the translucent heart.

“Don’t you want to kill him?” The sound of chains clinging echoed in Gao Ming’s shadows. How could he let Situ An get away? Fighting was not the strong suit of a doctor, but doctors were the ones who were most familiar with death in modern society. Gao Ming was prepared for death. He would not let Situ An leave, no matter what. He didn’t know how to fight, but under the influence of the heart of flesh, his physique continuously improved. He knocked Situ An to the ground. Gao Ming wanted to take the knife away from Situ An. The madman still had a smile on his face, like everything Gao Ming did was within his prediction.

Situ An let go of the knife and swung his right arm forward. There was a surgical knife hidden inside his sleeve. The blade had a murder talisman. “I was as rash as you when I was in my twenties. I learned from my lessons.”

The blade cut into Gao Ming’s stomach. The talisman shattered. Gao Ming felt like a beast had crawled into his stomach to bite at his insides. The wound caused by the talisman would not heal. The blood that bled out was not red but was mixed with black paper ashes. The heart of flesh slowed down. The leaking blood took out Gao Ming’s life force. Gao Ming didn’t retreat. He struggled to stand up and knocked Situ An to the wall and bound them together with the chains.

“You can’t kill me, but I can kill you.” Situ An didn’t pierce into Gao Ming’s heart because the Evil Ghost was worried that the heart of the flesh would be damaged. The two consciousnesses fought, but Situ An came on top again. He took out the second blade and it had the murder talisman too. Granny Shen prepared three murder talismans. Situ An used one on Yan Hua and kept two for Gao Ming. Situ An thought Gao Ming would learn from his mistake and evade the attack. That way, Situ An could run for the heart of God.

However, Gao Ming saw the attack and took it. He used the chains to detain Situ An.

“Zhu Suisui!” When he saw Situ An again, Gao Ming noticed Zhu Suisui was with the other investigators. Her face was pale. She was not injured, but she looked like she was in pain. When the investigators fought with the tenants, Zhu Suisui didn’t participate. She was a member of the investigation centre and knew every rule. She should follow her superior’s order without question, but she couldn’t aim her axe at the monsters.

Who were the monsters then?

“Kill Situ An!” Gao Ming knew that Zhu Suisui still had the murder talismans given by Granny Shen.

Situ An sensed something. He immediately shouted, “Your husband and children were killed by ghosts. Do you still want to help them? The centre has sacrificed so many people to bring the meat out! Do not believe him! When we have the meat, we can save the entire city!”

“Zhu Suisui, kill him!” Gao Ming’s wound on his stomach worsened. “The meat is poison! If you eat the meat, you can’t even become ghosts!”

“Without meat, endless investigators will still need to use their lives to fight the anomaly! I am your saviour!” Situ An yelled when he saw Zhu Suisui take out a talisman and paste it on her axe.

Zhu Suisui’s eyes cleared. She ran fast as the images of her family flashed in her mind. Her fingers cracked. Zhu Suisui’s blood was absorbed by the murder talisman. She raised the axe high and aimed it at Situ An’s neck. “Die! Madman who forced living humans to eat each other!”

Situ An was kept in place by the chains. He screamed. Two evil souls escaped from Situ An’s body. The souls were forced to combine. Half the face belonged to Situ An, and the other half was Building B’s Evil Ghost.

The axe chopped off Situ An’s head. The murder talisman exploded. Zhu Suisui collapsed to the ground. Most of her life force was taken by the murder talisman, and she aged overnight.

“Damn it!” The Evil Ghost shouted. Situ An snatched the last murder talisman instantly. He forced the soul to rush to the top of the figurine. Xuan Wen and it ran towards the figurine using the dead bodies in the pool as stepping stones. Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from behind the figurine to push Gong Xi and his grandmother into the blood pool. It was Uncle Wu.

“Grandma!” Gong Xi immediately helped to push his grandmother back to the surface. However, the ghosts in the pool wouldn’t let them go. In the blink of an eye, Gong Xi’s grandmother was dissolved by the pool. Gong Xi submerged underwater but couldn’t see his grandmother.

After that, of the figurine’s four faces, one face grew facial features and opened its eyes!

The eyes had seen the vicissitudes of life. They were kind and brimming with life. The face that represented the Life Shape opened its eyes. Then, the faces of Death Shape, Desire Shape and Sin Shape also opened their eyes.

Uncle Wu dropped the thick coat. He stood beside the figurine. He seemed to be possessed. “When you worshipped me, you knelt on the ground and were extremely faithful. When the meat is ready, you are more ferocious than beasts. What is it that you worship?”
