Horror Game Designer Chapter 95: Dead Reunion

Gao Ming was curious about the power of Xia Yang’s death portrait. Based on current info, the portrait could copy other portraits and create red buildings. Due to Xia Yang’s sacrifice, Gao Ming didn’t dare to use the portrait too much. He was worried that the more he became reliant on the picture, the greater Xia Yang’s influence on him would be.

“He’s stubborn, but he’s fighting fate in his own way.”

Gao Ming had no comments on Xia Yang. He didn’t touch the paintings and money in the bungalow. He only took the game analysis in the storage and the admin privilege for Dead Water Forum.”

The greatest hidden danger was eliminated. Gao Ming planned to start his own platform to lead the other players. Gao Ming cleaned up his trail and returned to Nightlight. Compared to earlier, the atmosphere was fully different. Manager Gou personally poured coffee for Xuan Wen as he introduced Nightlight.

“CEO Xuan, you have such good eyes. Our studio is famous for making horror games. The people here are elites among elites!” Manager Gou stood before Xuan Wen, “Our main artist, Xia Yang, has won many international artistic awards. Please take a look at his work. Without years of dedication and illness, you can’t make art like this!

“And our main programmer, Wei Dayou! You saw what happened earlier. Even the police came to him for help. He’s our studio’s pride!”

Manager Gou praised everyone in the studio. People were embarrassed.

“In a way, Manager Gou is quite kind.”

Gao Ming entered the office and pushed Manager Gou aside. He led Xuan Wen to the corridor.

“I need a favour.” Gao Ming logged into Dead Water Forum. “You are good with human hearts. This job is perfect for you.”

“What’s wrong? Why are you dealing with sewage treatment?” Xuan Wen studied the professional posts on the forum.
“The forum is just the front. As players clear the games, they will need a platform to exchange information.” Gao Ming transferred the codes and cypher to Xuan Wen. “I hope you can become the platform’s manager and lead all the players.” The platform was built, and it was extremely hidden. Xuan Wen looked at Gao Ming’s ideas and said, “Not a bad idea.”

Everything was Xia Yang’s contribution. Gao Ming only built on it. “The plan to release the guides and way to organise the players are all on there. We need to build an advantage at the start so that the players can’t leave us.”

“I can help you, but…” Xuan Wen looked into Gao Ming’s eyes. “Do you really want me to handle this? Aren’t you scared that after I take control of the players, I will make you the target? Since you are the source, you are the fattest sheep.”

“I trust you.” Gao Ming’s phone vibrated. He was pulled by someone in a chat group. “Is the reunion brought forward?”

“Go do your thing. Leave this to me.” Xuan Wen said confidently.

“Thank you.” Gao Ming felt Xuan Wen was different from before. Since she didn’t kill the other eight female characters, this was the real her.

“Don’t need to thank me. Just remember I’m still working when you’re out having fun with the other girls.” Xuan Wen smiled. Seeing how Gao Ming froze, she patted him, “I was just kidding. Be careful.”
Gao Ming turned and left. After entering the elevator, an unfamiliar number called him. He only picked up when the elevator reached the first floor. “Hello?”
“Gao Ming, long time no see!”
“Who are you?” The female voice was familiar.

“We were deskmates! I even copied your math homework in high school. Did you forget me already?”

“There were so many people who copied my work. Who are you?” Gao Ming frowned.

“I’m Song Xue!” The woman on the phone laughed. “Do you think this is a scam?”

The girl who was supposed to die in the bus accident called him. This was more exciting than a scam.

“Right! I remember it now.” Gao Ming relaxed. “How did you get my number.”

“I got it from other students. We plan to gather at Han Hai after the rain stops and return to our alma mater to recapture our youth.” Song Xue said, “I heard you are still single. We have many single friends in our group. This is perfect.”
“Have you decided on a location?”

“We need to confirm with Zuo Jun. Ol Zuo is such a bigshot now. I hear he’s some kind of leader at the east city.” Song Xue wasn’t sure. “You can chat in the group. Many people want to meet you.”

The call ended. Gao Ming entered the chat and made himself appear offline. Then, he scrolled through the chat record. Among the chats, he saw a cute rabbit emote posted by Zuo Bo.

“Zuo Bo?!” Zuo Bo attended the same university as Gao Ming. Due to various reasons, he had a mental breakdown. Later, they met in a consultation room. By then, Gao Ming was a doctor, and Zuo Bo was his patient. He once lifted Zuo Bo’s sleeve. The arm was covered with scars. Zuo Bo, who was 1.75 cm tall, was thin as a stick. Gao Ming was too young back then, so Zuo Bo’s parents transferred him away. However, not long after that, Zuo Bo was sent to the ICU. Gao Ming tried to call him, but the call was never answered.

“Will Zuo Bo be going? Just how many of these people are still alive?”

Gao Ming paid attention to Zuo Jun. “If Song Xue was right, Zuo Jun should be working under Situ An now. Did I give Zuo Jun the chance to rise to the top after I took out Doctor Lu and Qing Ge? What will fate do next?”

The storm was about to stop. When Gao Ming passed by Min Long Street, he was shocked to see the street sealed up.

The driver grumbled and turned the car around. Gao Ming felt something was wrong. He paid and got down. He pretended to buy something and turned around to see the cars from the centre. With Bai Xiao leading the team, a group of people were moving around Min Long Street with many devices.

“Something’s wrong.”

Big Dog and Wei Dayou were in the shadow world’s Min Long Street. They also had a lot of villagers and east city centre investigators with them. Gao Ming believed that Bai Xiao had found something. Gao Ming sneaked through the cordon line.

A supermarket in the middle of Min Ling Street had a supernatural event. The night shift employees disappeared. The daughter of the boss was crying as she complained to the investigation.

“It’s not Building 4 that has the problem, but it’s close.”

Worried about Wei Dayou, Gao Ming sneaked into Building 4, found a corner and took out a death portrait.
