“You know about Red Spectres. You are on the same side as the shadow world.” The giant man gripped the hilt of his blade with ten fingers. The blood in his body was continuously being absorbed by the ghost's face. Slowly, his shadow expanded to form a two-metre-tall bloodred shadow.
The giant man and the shadow behind him raised the blade at the same time. He controlled the blade while the shadow controlled his soul. Without any warning, the man took a step forward, and the other members behind him started to shoot. The remaining members activated various devices. Different from the devices used by the normal members, the devices used by the security members were taken out of the anomalies with risks to their lives. Each of them was stained with blood and curses.
“You are outside the painting, and I am inside the painting. How do you intend to harm me? Similarly, how can a human inside a dream murder a ghost outside the dream?” Xia Yang looked down the dark corridor kindly. His gaze reflected the figures of all the security members. This was a death match. Xia Yang needed to kill everyone before they could figure out the method to kill him.
…
The elbow shattered the window. Gao Ming jumped through and landed on the grass of the abandoned garden. Gao Ming examined the irregular footprints on the ground before looking up. The back building was like a reflection of the front building, and it radiated a lot more pressure. Once he approached, the God of Flesh and Blood howled. The death memories in his heart collided with each other.
“I seem to have been here before…”
The death memories were unrelated to the back building of the Li San Hospital, but Gao Ming still felt the place was familiar. The night breeze shook the grass, and children sang a strange lullaby. Gao Ming saw a young man with a deformed face sitting on the steps. He wore a fast-food restaurant uniform. He hugged his knees and mumbled some numbers.
“Is he a horror game player or a patient here?” When Gao Ming approached the door, the man raised his head carefully.
“Have you seen a woman being captured and brought to the back building?” Before Gao Ming could take out the picture, the man nodded.
“She is very beautiful but also very scary. My mom sent me out to find her.” The man stood up with difficulty.“Your mother? Why are you looking for her?”
“Because my little brother and sister are hungry…” The man didn’t dare to enter the building. He took his hand out of his wet sleeves. His nails were dirty with rotten mud. His family seemed to live in the sewer.
“What is your name? Do you normally live here?” Gao Ming’s fingers touched his chest. His heart raced.
“Yang Yu.” The man lowered his voice. “Mom didn’t want me to chat too long with outsiders. If you’re here to find someone, I advise you to leave.”
“Because this place is very dangerous?”
“Many people came here to look for their family, but none of them managed to leave this hospital. The front and back buildings are two different worlds. You’ll see different things.” The man turned around and walked towards the back building. His back was covered in bloody whiplashes.
“Wait.” Gao Ming took bandages and pills from his first-aid kit. He tossed them to Yang Yu. He didn’t ask about anything else. When he was about to enter the back building, Yang Yu’s voice came from behind him. “I don’t know who you’re looking for, but a lot of people went to the psychiatry counselling room on the fourth floor. Mom said a lot of important things are hidden there.”
“Thank you.” Gao Ming didn’t harm Yang Yu. His focus was singular. It was to find Xuan Wen.
Gao Ming’s eyes were taken over by anomalies. All the devices and tools had grown flesh.
“What is this?”
Black, white and red formed everything in the hospital. The combination stunned everyone who walked into the back building. Gao Ming only stood there for a few seconds when he was targeted by something. A room door not far away opened, and a pair of old shoes appeared at the door. The shoes pointed at him. Gao Ming felt someone’s gaze on him. He wanted to take out the chains from his heartroom. The next second, pairs of shoes rushed out of the room. It was like a crowd rushing out.
The footsteps were like drumbeats. Gao Ming didn’t hesitate and rushed into the corridor.
The big clock in the abandoned garden swayed. Black shadows hid behind the curtains. The devices inside the hospital started to come alive. The buzzing sound and screaming came from different rooms.
Gao Ming was chased by the pairs of shoes. He didn’t check the route, but his body seemed to know where to go. When he stopped and lifted his head, he saw the name of the ward before him: Psychiatry Counselling Ward.
Gao Ming pushed the door open and entered it. He closed the door behind him and used the curtain to cover the window on the door. The footsteps outside the door slowly faded away. Gao Ming’s fingers that held the doorknob slowly released. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. He studied the room. Compared to the mutated outside world, this room was relatively standard.
“This is the psychiatry counselling ward, and I’m a psychiatrist. What a coincidence.” Gao Ming studied the chairs and tables in the room. He pulled out a random book from the shelf. The strange feeling assaulted him again. He felt that he had seen the content inside the human-skin book.
“I’ve been to Li San Hospital, but I don’t remember coming here.” Gao Ming’s heart had too many death memories. Therefore, he didn’t mind the strange, familiar feeling at first. “Someone has been here before me.” Gao Ming looked at the headphones dumped beside the old computer. He tried to switch on the computer, but there was only a ghost shadow screaming on the screen.
“What information did they get? Why did they come here?”
Gao Ming pushed open the door to the inner room. The shelf was lined with broken figurines of Gods. Gao Ming noticed the footprints of the security members in the room.
“Did they destroy the figurines?” The security members showed no respect for the Gods. They treated everything as tools. Gao Ming stood silently in the middle of the room, “Why did they come to this room?”
Gao Ming walked around. He didn’t want to leave any stones unturned. With his brain churning, he subconsciously took the chair beside the bookshelf. His breathing turned heavy. Gao Ming suddenly felt a chill run up his spine. He could hear a strange man’s voice.
“So… Have you woken up?”
