Horror Game Designer Chapter 61: Main Character for a Week



The last step of the ritual was completed. Of the four shapes, three of them had melted into the blood pool a long time ago. Only the Living Shape was harder to come back. The Living Shape had to retain their humanity and not be affected by the meat in the building. Of the entire building, only Gong Xi’s grandmother fit this requirement. The reason she was spared until then was probably she was the last sacrifice for the God of Flesh and Blood. Of course, Gong Xi didn’t know this. He thought that his grandmother was his secret.



Gong Xi, with the mutated mouth, dived into the pool to save his grandmother. Uncle Wu looked at Gong Xi with pity and then climbed towards the heart of God above the figurine. When was Uncle Wu replaced? Maybe it was several hours ago, or maybe it was decades ago. The figurine didn’t resist Uncle Wu. With each of his steps, he assimilated better with the figurine. When he picked down the heart, he would have fully joined with the figurine.



Xuan Wen and Situ An’s soul were fast, but they were still too slow. Uncle Wu had predicted this result. The God of Flesh and Blood knew everyone in the building, but there was a loophole in his calculation.



“Brother Zhao, grab him!” The twisted arm grabbed Uncle Wu’s ankle. Zhao Xi’s head slowly raised. He could barely hold his body together.



“Let go!” Uncle Wu kicked Zhao Xi, but Zhao Xi’s body started to envelop Uncle Wu.



“What is this thing?” Uncle Wu took out a talisman and tossed it on Zhao Xi. The talisman contained the pictures of the victim. They lit up as they touched Zhao Xi’s body.



As the two fought, Situ An’s soul rapidly approached. The soul with two faces opened its mouth to bite at the translucent heart.



“Get lost!” Xuan Wen shouted aggressively. Broken faces flashed in her eyes. The emotions of strangers evoked the shadow. Xuan Wen used her blood to weave a shadowy web. Xuan Wen could control the shadow. This was the power given to her by the shadow world, but the more she used it, the easier she could be consumed.



“Such troubles.” Uncle Wu saw Xuan Wen and Situ An. He took out a knife from his shirt. With a chant, he pierced his left hand. Blood droplets much thicker than normal dripped on the figurine. Uncle Wu entered the figurine faster. His eyes rolled back. Less humanity remained in Uncle Wu, and the figurine became more alive. The emotions of humans and Uncle Wu’s memories rushed towards the clear heart. The heart that didn’t exist and did exist became clearer. The God of Blood and Flesh’s main consciousness was descending.



“The heart is mine!” Situ An was trapped by the shadow, and his soul started to bleed. “Give me your resentment, hatred and torture! I know how many people you’ve killed! It is me who nurtured you into the killer you are today! I’ve been feeding you despair.” Situ An was very familiar with the killer of the families death case. He was the one who picked the killer. He slowly pushed the man into the abyss.



If Gao Ming didn’t arrive, Situ An would lead the investigators to kill the Evil Ghost he personally raised. He then would prevail as the hero of justice.



“You…” The two combined. Situ An suppressed the Evil Ghost as bloody names appeared on the soul. Situ An tore a hole through the shadow. When he saw the heart of God, he slammed into Uncle Wu, who was uniting with the figurine. “You are my God, so why don’t you listen to my prayer? You only exist because of me!”



Situ An didn’t respect God. He wanted to eat God.



“I appeared because of worship. I am me. I own everything I have. You are one of the flesh bowing before me.” Uncle Wu’s arms had melted into the figurine. His expression was different from before. His eyes changed as the arms of the figurine closed around him. The blood pool churned. The ceiling collapsed, and the stairs crumbled. The figurine slowly moved. Four shapes opened their eyes. Indescribable pressure descended on everyone. The blood gathered there.



“You exist because of me! I can make and break you!” Situ An went mad. He used the last murder talisman. “Do you know why an innocent victim’s skin can be made into a murder talisman? That is because the innocent’s prayers and screams are the reason behind your appearance. They are the reason you are a God!”



The soul grabbed the talisman. Before Uncle Wu joined with the figurine further, the soul pierced its left arm into Uncle Wu’s chest.



“For these past twenty years, I’ve been looking for God of Flesh and Blood’s main consciousness inside the building. I thought the ritual was a failure. I examined all the figurines. I didn’t expect you’d hide outside the apartment inside a human!”



Situ An choked Uncle An as he tried to drag Uncle Wu out of the figurine. No matter what, he couldn’t allow Uncle Wu to join with the figurine.



“You are too stubborn. Some things already exist. They do not come into being because of your schemes.” Four arms grabbed Situ An. Other four arms held Xuan Wen. Uncle Wu’s chest leaked out a lot of stinky black blood. The murder talismans were the God of Flesh and Blood’s sins. They died because of God, and they could be made into God’s poison. The ground shook. Cracks crawled all over the walls. No matter who won in the end, this horror story was going out of control.



Gao Ming held Zhao Xi’s chains and picked up the axe. “Give me the last talisman.”



Zhu Suisui had exhausted her life. She couldn’t use Granny Shen’s talisman anymore.



Gao Ming pasted the talisman to the axe and took a deep breath. “The most innocent people can become the blade to kill God. This might be their last wish.”



Gao Ming rushed down the corridor. The floor cracked. He rushed to the edge of the pool and tossed his chains at the figurine. Zhao Xi sensed the chain’s approach. He let go of Uncle Wu’s leg. He dragged his body to grab the other end of the chain.



The chains made from memory bound around the figurine’s arm. Gao Ming swung over the pool. The balance between Uncle Wu, Situ An and Wen Xuan was broken. Gao Ming climbed towards the clear heart.



“Are you willing to give your heart to him and not me?” The bloody characters on Situ An’s body deepened. It was hard to tell who was controlling the soul then, Situ An or the Evil Ghost.



Uncle Wu used two arms to stop Gao Ming, but Situ An and Xuan Wen were waiting for this opportunity. Shadow and resentment exploded. They broke away from the captivity and charged at Gao Ming.



Normally, Situ An was the faster. Gao Ming knew that, so his target was never the heart of God.



His hand that held the chain let go. As Situ An ran at the heart, Gao Ming changed his direction and swung the axe at Situ An’s head. “This time, I will kill you!”



Gao Ming’s black blood was absorbed by the talisman. His axe landed on Situ An’s shoulder. At the same time, a force came from behind Gao Ming. He was being pulled back. Eight arms slammed into the spot where Gao Ming was. If Xuan Wen hadn’t pulled him back, Gao Ming would have been a meatpaste already.



The heart of God was before them, but neither of them fought for it.



“I’ll stop both of them! You go and snatch that heart!” Xuan Wen didn’t give Gao Ming the chance to reject her.



The shadow undulated madly. Scary splinters appeared on her body. Eight wounds were particularly obvious. Xuan Wen entered the shadow. Eight monsters with beautiful appearances walked out of her wounds. She knew that she couldn’t fight the shadow world anymore, so she decided to drag Situ An and the figurine down with her.



“I can’t change destiny, but I’m already very satisfied to be able to be the main character for a week.” Xuan Wen couldn’t help but take one last look at Gao Ming, “If you really can’t remember what you’ve promised me inside the tunnel, then don’t waste your time trying to think about it.”
