You Liang was Han De Shu Xiang Academy’s biggest shame and Han De Private School’s scariest big ghost. He was also the key location where the school rules fought with Situ An’s rules.

“We can’t tell much from a few pages of the report. You’ll really understand him when you become him.” The big dog picked up a document and swallowed it. “This place is too dangerous. I’ll wait for you at the entrance.”

“And I thought you’d volunteer to lead the way for us.” Gao Ming felt like the big dog had become more cheerful and more willing to chat after they became friends.

“I’ll wait for you at the door.” The big dog shook his head and opened his maw at Zhou Sisi. As Zhou Sisi tried to evade him, he bit Zhou Sisi’s clothes and pulled her to his side. “Normal people like us shouldn’t be involved in the world of the crazy.”

“But I don’t see them as bad people.” Zhou Sisi didn’t realise the big dog was helping her. “Be it Gao Ming or You Liang, something must have happened to them to make them into who they are now. They were forced to change.” In Zhou Sisi’s subconscious, she still suspected Gao Ming was the music box killer. She had been trying to persuade Gao Ming to surrender, but she never found the chance.

“I’ll go first. You can come when I confirm there’s no problem.” The God of Flesh and Blood lived in Gao Ming’s heart. He walked down the corridor carefully towards the strange rooms.

There were many cases in the real world that happened because of negative emotions like jealousy. As the former psychiatrist at Hen Shan Penitentiary, Gao Ming knew how absurd the world was. Many movies didn’t dare to depict real cases because they would be critiqued as illogical. After the father remarried, he and his new wife tossed his two children down from the balcony; a man poisoned 42 people in his village because he was envious of the good business his neighbour was having at his breakfast shop; a child of twelve sold a kid of 6 to the human traffickers…

Gao Ming saw bloody and real cases in prison. When one tree envied another tree, he would wish that he was the axe.

“If I encountered this situation, what would I do?”

“This is just a social experiment. Everything is fake. I don’t need to follow You Liang’s methods to deal with the problems. I should do things my way.”

Gao Ming opened the door to the ‘school’. The room was pasted with exam papers and diaries. You Liang had many friends at Han De Shu Xiang Academy. This room was warm and secure. When You Liang was still a child, adults like Headmistress Yan protected them. However, there was a clock hanging on the wall of the ‘school’ room. Whenever the needle moved, the room would darken with blood. “The time I can spend at school is limited.”

The clock might represent more than the time at school. It could also represent the childhood self. No matter how unwilling one was, one had to grow up. Blood spread through the room. The diaries and test papers were dyed red. They fluttered in the room like bloodred snow. Gao Ming used the last bit of time to read through the dairies. He realised that You Liang would feel confusion and distraught as well. However, whenever these emotions arose, the adults would give him the warmest hug and guide him to the light. After reading the last dairy entry, the ‘school’ room was fully immersed in blood. Gao Ming exited the room, and everything changed.

There were cars and people everywhere. The social experiment rooms became real buildings. He seemed to have left Han De Private Academy and returned to the real world.

“Is this a resentment room, haunted house or a death building?

“It feels just like when I fell into the flood nightmare. I should be inside You Liang’s nightmare now. Is the difference between the three on whether the nightmare of the big ghost can be reconstructed?”

“You Liang!” A beady-eyed fatty ran out of the bus stop. He wore a checkered shirt. “I’m your older brother, You De. Mom and Dad miss you so much over the years. Come. I’ll bring you to meet them!”

The fatty grabbed Gao Ming and wanted to drag him away, but Gao Ming pinched his neck from the back. “Do you know why they abandoned me at birth?”

“We can continue this conversation at the hospital, okay? Mom and Dad regretted their decision and had been crying ever since.” You De was a great storyteller. Gao Ming stared at You De’s face and suddenly raised his hand to slap him.

This slap stunned all the nearby pedestrians. You De covered his face and let go of his hands. Gao Ming narrowed his eyes as he stared at his five fingers. Normally, he wouldn’t have slapped anymore. However, when he wanted to do something really badly, his control of his body would weaken. “Did Xia Yang want to slap him too?”

The brother’s reunion at the bus stop ended with a slap.

You De escaped with the tail between his legs. Gao Ming didn’t go to the hospital. He wandered around the city with the light, bloody mist.

After who knew how long, the people started to look at him strangely. They pointed at him and called him horrible names. They said that he angered his ill parents to their deaths.

Gao Ming ‘borrowed’ one of the pedestrians’ phones and went online. The netizen’s comments were horrible. However, there were some rational netizens who spoke up for You Liang. His parents had abandoned him. Why should they demand that You Liang take care of them?

Of course, these voices were scolded as well.

“I still can’t stop the story from progressing.” Gao Ming saw You De’s livestreams and interviews on the internet. You De looked like a greedy pig in all of them.

“Is it strange that I don’t feel disgusted by this?

“Perhaps you should go kill You De now? Since the ending has been decided, killing him early might save more people.” Xia Yang’s voice suddenly appeared. Gao Ming confirmed that the voice came from his mind.

“It looks like the art teacher can’t put enough pressure on Teacher Xia.” Gao Ming rubbed his eyes. He ignored the curses and wandered alone through the city. He aided the people around him and volunteered whenever he could. Gao Ming was praised by everyone he met in person, but he was painted as the greatest evil ever lived on the internet.

“Everyone in the city thinks I’m a good person. Who is scolding me?” Gao Ming mimicked You Liang’s life. The nightmare felt like a vacation. The more he acted like so, the more hated he became. Gao Ming bought a phone to livestream his simple and happy life daily. This made those monsters even more twisted with anger.

The red mist that covered the city boiled. Gao Ming didn’t harbour any negative emotions. He lived without burden. When he had time, he would get You De on his streams as guests to provoke You De. Through this method, he lowered You De’s popularity.

The monsters in the shadow gnashed their fangs in anger. However, they noticed that Gao Ming had no flaws. The scolding was not enough.

The inexplicable envy, jealousy and hatred compelled the monsters to destroy the things precious to Gao Ming. However, they couldn’t discover anything that was valuable to Gao Ming. He only cared about his mental world. Even if he was alone, he had a joyful time.

The monsters communicated among themselves. The evil plants bore fruits. You De had enough of Gao Ming. He invited him out for a chat. When they met again, Gao Ming swapped the drink You De had prepared for him. At first, Gao Ming was only doing it out of kindness. Who would have thought that You De’s voice chords would be ruined and he needed surgery to reclaim his life? You De became a mute.

The drink officially started the nightmare. The human disguise and falsity were torn apart. Gao Ming realised some of the people he had helped in the past were scolding him online too.

You De and mangled monsters’ hatred towards Gao Ming went beyond the mental realm. You De started taking physical revenge. The monsters came up with scary plans, but Gao Ming was not You Liang. After an ‘accident’, You De became an invalid. Gao Ming, who played You Liang, looked after You De. He even livestreamed his days as You De’s caretaker. He looked happier than before.

The blood mist in the city blinded people’s eyes. Gao Ming had already strayed from the essence of happiness. He was merely following his heart. When the wave of evil came, he would immediately fight back with his and Xia Yang’s malice. The monsters wanted to kill Gao Ming, so Gao Ming ran to their homes to paint Xia Yang’s paintings. When the world used evil to stop evil, it was not far from crumbling.

Murder was a line, and it was a line that, once crossed, couldn’t be redeemed any more. For You Liang, his ending was a forced one. However, Xia Yang had never considered other choices.

Once the nightmare was affected by Xia Yang through Gao Ming, with the slap, the nightmare strayed from its goal. The social experiment became a massacre. The issue was Gao Ming, and Xia Yang managed to survive through the most strenuous conditions.

The monsters hidden among the crowd wanted to destroy Gao Ming. Under Xia Yang’s influence, Gao Ming unleashed his inner self and lived happily without a care for his life or death.

Eventually, the city was covered with Gao Ming and Xia Yang’s doodles. He hid in the bloody city until he came to the end of the nightmare. Once the mist dispersed, Gao Ming was tossed out by an irrefutable force. The world crumbled and reconstructed. When Gao Ming opened his eyes, he realised he was sitting at the door of the ‘school’ room. His clothes were grabbed by a bloodied arm.

“Was I yanked out of the nightmare?”

Gao Ming turned around. He saw a clean young man. He wasn’t particularly handsome, but he made people around him feel at ease. He was like a piece of snow in the sun. He was crystal clear, pure and flawless.

“You Liang?”

A woman’s cries echoed in the social experiment room. The young man moved Gao Ming to Zhou Sisi’s side. After Gao Ming sunk into the nightmare, Zhou Sisi and the big dog were dragged into it as well. The three of them had three completely different reactions.

Gao Ming chose resistance to the strongest degree. Since kindness was not accepted, he chose evil. With Xia Yang’s aid, they almost became the new antagonist of the nightmare.

The big dog chose silence. The blind man shed his fur in the nightmare and found his true self. He walked back into the light. Facing the accusations, he responded with silence. He didn’t partake in anything. He lived silently and died silently.

Zhou Sisi’s personality was the most similar to You Liang. She didn’t try to act like anyone, but her ending was almost similar to You Liang’s. However, at the last moment, You Liang saw Yan Xizhi’s badge and led Zhou Sisi out.

Even without experiencing the last despair, Zhou Sisi felt immense pain. She curled on the ground, hugged herself and cried her eyes out.

“The three of you have Headmistress Yan’s blessing. Are you her students two?” The young man sat before them. His eyes wandered from the student council badge to Gao Ming’s face. “Why don’t you look sad at all?”
