“Act as what now?” As a game producer, Wei Dayou knew what an NPC was. However, he had a feeling Gao Ming was not talking about a conventional NPC.

“A horror game can’t just have ghosts and monsters. It has to have innocent victims, people showing the way and extras. I will give you new identities, and I need you to explore your acting skills in my horror games.” Gao Ming’s voice entered everyone’s ears.

“Do you plan to move the horror games into the real world? Are you going to realise the games you’ve designed in the real world?” Wei Dayou had seen the games Gao Ming designed. Some of the plots were so scary that he was already breaking out in a cold sweat thinking about them. “Other people are trying to realise their dreams, but you’re trying to realise your nightmare!”

“Is there a difference? Plus, they will happen either way. I’m just giving them an artistic edge.” Gao Ming tried to explain the situation to everyone. Even if he didn’t do anything, the tragedy would still happen. His intervention would enable more people to survive. He could also select potential players to join him.

“Then… Can I be a player?” Zhang Fendou, who was carrying a dirty schoolbag, raised his hand. The kid just wanted to play games.

“Go back home and do your homework!” Zhang Ding grabbed his son and dragged him away. “I’m sorry. Continue.”

“I want to be a ship captain! I want to play too!” Zhang Fendou waved his limbs as he struggled.

“Children need to stay out of adult business. I’ve found you a lot of homework from Han De Private School.“ Zhang Ding sent Zhang Fendou back to the supermarket. “Don’t even think of coming out before you pass the exam!”

With this incident, the humans on the other side felt less afraid of Boss Zhang. Even after he became a ghost, he had to be worried about his kid.

“Brother Zhang, those are high-school homework. It’ll be hard for him.” Gao Ming reminded him and then gave everyone the script.

While people were studying the script, Gao Ming pasted the map of the 19 districts on the wall. He planned to produce two horror stories at the same time.

He would set up the scenario of the return of the soul at Li San Min Long Street. He would have Bai Xiao’s sister, Bai Qiao, meet up with Ma Lian in the shadow world. They would slowly swap spaces until Bai Qiao’s people took over the Li San Investigation Centre. After that, Li San would be the safest location at Han Hai. Gao Ming felt like he could effectively lower the crime rate in this district.

In the past, Gao Ming tried to join the investigation centre. He reached the position of the chief. However, since his district was too safe, someone suspected him, and that was why he was killed in the end. This time, Gao Ming would not only stay on the defensive but also go on offence. The east city was the location that was affected the most by the Level 4 Anomaly. The main force of the investigation centre and the ghosts were there. This was the perfect chance to gain influence. Gao Ming didn’t want to give it up.

“The east city investigation centre was heavily controlled by Situ An. Those who didn’t obey him were killed. In the east city, other than Ding Yuan’s Huan Men Centre, the other centres are fully corrupted.” At this point, Xia Yang’s voice appeared in Gao Ming’s ears. “Situ An has something to tell you. He is very familiar with the east city. He wants to leave you with everything he has to help you become the new king of the east city.”

Gao Ming entered the supermarket and sunk into his heart. He looked at the detained Situ An. Seeing Gao Ming, Situ An’s eyes darted about before shining with disappointment.

“Why are you disappointed?” Gao Ming caught this. He turned to the side, and the red raincoat was standing right there!

Gao Ming was very close to her. However, the red raincoat didn’t attack him. She held her heart and stood silently at the corner. When the heart jumped, a child’s face would flicker on it.

“I knew you were up to something. You wanted to trick me here and use the red raincoat to kill me.” Gao Ming pulled the chain and yanked Situ An’s head closer to him.

The dying Situ An raised his head. “I am willing to use everything I have to trade with you. I have more than enough money for you to spend for eight lives and the dirt on so many influential people.”

“What kind of trade?”

“You can take anything you want from me as long as you promise to kill me once you get everything. Stop torturing me!” Situ An sounded like he had given up. He looked so weak.

“Are you… seeking death?” Gao Ming knew Situ An too well. He knew he was not the kind of person to give up easily. “Something’s wrong with what you said. You said I should kill you after I got everything. It sounds like you’re helping me, but actually, you want to expose me.”

Situ An knew many secrets. Once those things were touched, the things hiding in the dark would come over like sharks smelling blood.

“Even if you die, you have to bring me with you.” Gao Ming smiled as he read Situ An’s mind. Situ An’s eyes turned gentle since his trick was exposed by Gao Ming. He didn’t look as weak as before. It was all an act.

“I will not give up as long as I have a breath left in me. This is what I learned from you.” Situ An smiled. This man had gotten used to the pain from the soul chain.

“However, I do need to trouble you with something.” Gao Ming held up Situ An’s head. “I need all the information about the east city investigation centres. You can give me the real deal or fake ones. You can try everything you can to harm me.”

Gao Ming radiated confidence. This caused Situ An’s expression to change slightly, “Okay. I will give you everything you want.”

Situ An wanted to escape. He wasn’t afraid of helping Gao Ming. He was afraid that Gao Ming would stop communicating with him. For someone like Situ An, he only cared about benefits. Once he escaped, he would take back everything he had lost ten times or a hundred times!

“Fu Ning: The chief of the east city Wan Zai Investigation Centre. He is greedy and lascivious. His weakness is his two sons. He stayed at his division in the east city and didn’t follow us into the school.

“Jiang Chan: One of the vice presidents at Han Hai Charity Headquarters. He is the logistic master of the east city investigation centres. He is honest and has no weaknesses. That is why I had Doctor Lu pull him into the shadow world and replace him with a ghost.

“He Yi: The person responsible for the East City Investigation Centre’s security department. I wish to trigger a tragedy, so I have the security team hidden beforehand. They suffer no losses.

“You might be the most interested in this last person. His name is Jing Tuoshen. It’s probably a fake name. He always wears a pair of white gloves. He has a severe obsession with cleanliness. He is a human pet cultivated by one of the big shots at the headquarters. He is cunning, vicious and is not of sound mind.”
