Horror Game Designer

Two investigators disappeared before his eyes. Ji Jie saw the ghost behind him make a move. Fear intensified. If Fear Illness was categorised into levels of severity, Ji Jie was at the worst stage. The students surrounded Ji Jie. They all tried to figure out what one would have to do to be ‘selected’.

The dream Ji Jie had before he came to the reunion became a reality. He became the focus of the reunion. The satisfied sense of pride formed a precarious balance with the fear in his heart.

“Gao Ming, how much do you believe Ji Jie?” Wang Jie put away his dagger as he pulled Gao Ming up from the ground. He had formed a habit of turning to Gao Ming whenever there was a problem.

“I can’t tell for sure.” Gao Ming lowered his head because he couldn’t bear to look at Ji Jie.

“You were very close to him earlier. Can you tell what kind of ghost it is?” Wang Jie lowered his voice. “When the class started, I didn’t think Ji Jie was so special. But the longer I look at him now, the scarier I become. It’s discomfiting.”

“I feel the same way. My heart is racing.” Gao Ming knew Fear Illness was spreading. It was too late to grab the doll back. He just hoped that nothing too ridiculous would appear. As more people fell victim to the illness, the more realistic the imagined fear would be. With the number of students at school, it was more than enough to materialise some special existences.

Many students surrounded Ji Jie. When Ji Fu saw this, his brows bunched together nervously.

He wanted to seek help from someone. He looked around and eventually settled beside Gao Ming, “Hi. I’m Ji Jie’s brother. I believe we saw you at Hostel Building 6 yesterday night.”

“Did you?” Gao Ming had no idea why Ji Fu came to him.

“We were chased by ghosts. Ji Jie entered the bedroom, but by then, he had already been swapped out by an evil ghost!” Ji Fu sneakily pointed at Ji Jie. “He’s acting as my little brother! We can’t let people get too close to him!”

The two brothers were the first to come into contact with Fear Illness. They were severely ill. Gao Ming was too lazy to explain it. Wang Jie seemed to have found something interesting. He silently pulled Ji Fu to the side. “This is the reunion for Class 13. Why are you here? Did Ji Jie receive some extra info before coming here?”

“What kind of conspiracy are you trying to make?” Ji Fu was unhappy. “Look at my simple little brother. Is he capable of any conspiracy? I am his hired driver. He doesn’t know how to drive. It’s that simple!”

“Driver?” Wang Jie didn’t believe him. “What did you do before this? Did you work for the investigation centre?”

“Investigate your ass! I worked for the government for five years. Then, I started my own business.” Ji Fu wanted to tell his story, but Wang Jie refused to believe him.

Gao Ming put his bag away. He didn’t want to participate in this conversation. He just wanted to study. He walked out of Class 13. He could feel the atmosphere at the school changing. He couldn’t see anyone from the student council. A lot of teachers in the centre’s uniforms openly critiqued the school rules and encouraged the students to break them.

“The times are changing. There were still student council members patrolling the corridors yesterday.” Wang Jie was gutsy. He pulled Xi San and suddenly ran down the corridor. No one came to stop them. “Yesterday, when I tried to run in the corridor, people from the student council would appear like ghosts. However, now it feels like no one is here to mind the rule-breakers anymore.” He looked out the window and saw some student council members moving towards the lab building and activity building.

“Before this, the student council would compete with the teachers from the investigation centre, and we would be caught in the middle. It might look dangerous, but neither party dared to touch us. But this sudden retreat by the student council might cause the investigation centre to come after us.” Wang Jie’s mind was clear. “The killing poll in class earlier should be the centre’s way of testing our bottom line.”

“Brother Wang, what should we do now?” Xi San followed Wang Jie and Gao Ming like a puppy.

“We can’t let the investigation centre have the monology. We need to stop it.” Wang Jie lowered his voice. “The infirmary and the health classroom are both at the office building. We need to be careful of the next class!”

When the people of Bedroom 1314 were discussing, Zhou Sisi snuck up to Gao Ming. She pulled on his clothes and wanted to talk to him in private.

“Now is not the time for puppy love.” Xi San stood between Gao Ming and Zhou Sisi. “I know you two were deskmates, but Brother Ming is now one of us. No one from our bedroom will be left behind.” Gao Ming knew both psychology and psychiatry. Such a valuable mate couldn’t be stolen away.

Zhou Sisi rolled her eyes at Xi San. She grabbed Gao Ming’s wrist and pulled him away.

“The classes in the morning are fine, but what about the sociological application class in the afternoon? The chances of our classmates surviving You Liang’s experiment is less than 30 percent.” When they were alone, Zhou Sisi voiced the real concern in her heart.

“The sociological application class in the afternoon will be the turning point. It’s about time to update the school rules…” Fear Illness was spreading rapidly. With Ji Jie pushing things along, Gao Ming didn’t dare to delay any longer.

“Brother Ming, the more beautiful the women, the more dangerous they are.” Before Gao Ming could say more, Xi San rushed over worriedly. He was like a parent worried about his son. “Even though that is hard to listen to, Zhou Sisi is too nice.”

“Did you knock your head on something?” Zhou Sisi was speechless seeing how much Xi San stuck to Gao Ming. She shook her head and went to find Ding Yuan. The students entered the office building. They officially entered Situ An’s territory. They had to obey Situ An’s rules there.

“Without the interference of the student council, the investigation centre might do something crazy.” Gao Ming was worried about Ji Jie, who was showing off too much. The centre needed an obedient class and eliminating Ji Jie would be a good thing for thjem.

It was daytime but the office building was eerie and gloomy. There were some students carrying homework in the corridor. Their conditions were different from the other students. They were more like prisoners.

“We’re here.”

The health classroom was next to the infirmary. It was the venue for students to conduct health checks. There were many devices in the room. The classroom was double the size of a normal classroom.

“I need every student to come grab a form here and fill in your physical and mental conditions,” A very sweet voice echoed in the room. A teacher in a white coat waved at them. She was different from the other teachers Class 13 had met. She was pretty and gentle.

“Come over here. Don’t just stand there.” The health teacher was slightly rotund and her skin was fair. “Don’t be scared. The main purpose of the health class is to see whether your body and mind are healthy or not.”

The students of Class 13 were not dummies. How could there be a kind teacher at the school? The gentler the teacher was, the more cautious the students were. No one dared to go forward.

“Relax. I won’t do anything to you.” The health teacher smiled bitterly. “How about this? Which one of you thinks you’re mentally healthy and wants to volunteer?”

The students looked at each other before they all turned to Gao Ming. He didn’t move but everyone shuffled to make a path for him.

“What’s this? Who said that a psychiatrist will definitely have a healthy mind?”
