Horror Game Designer

“How could a live bait be protected by a big ghost? The trash at the research department is getting more and more useless.” Jing Tuoshen said darkly, “I think they’ve been behind the frontline for too long, and their brains are dull. They can only think within the box.”

His two underlings didn’t dare speak. The researchers were extremely influential. Only Jing Tuoshen, who was also a researcher, dared to talk negatively about them.

“The kid won’t be able to go far. You have to capture him for me!”

“Yes!”

“His living area is close to Situ An’s office area. Situ An raised him close to the big ghost for a reason. Maybe he wants to use the big ghost to cover something on the kid. The so-called live bait and number are used to confuse others.” Jing Tuoshen just gave the order when the white band that represented his identity as a researcher vibrated. Jing Tuoshen’s expression dimmed when he saw the message on the band. “The guests are here. I’ll leave for now. When I return, I want to see all the stains cleaned. Do not let me see any blood.”

Back on the first floor, the investigators and staff at Han Hai stood at the corner of the lobby. There was a team in full black and wearing a blood band standing in the middle of the lobby. They were like silent killing machines. No one spoke. All the security members turned their heads when they saw Jing Tuoshen walk out of the elevator. Their gazes filled with murderous intent. A normal person wouldn’t dare to meet their eyes.

“Wan Jie, you’re late.” Jing Tuoshen ignored the rest. His eyes were fixated on a middle-aged man. The man looked very normal, the kind to disappear in a crowd. He was the complete opposite of K, who would stand out anywhere.

“I am indeed late.” When the man spoke, the people around him didn’t dare to breathe too loudly. His speech was unhurried, but it carried an indescribable pressure. It was like they were facing not a man, but a silent sea.

Jing Tuoshen heard the hidden meaning in the man’s words. He waited for the man to continue. The man waved his hand slightly. The security members moved two black boxes out of their car. They opened the boxes before Jing Tuoshen. The box on the left had four mud divine figurines inside it. The ghost-faced Buddha with a thousand arms had been shattered and couldn’t be repaired.

“Half a year ago, Han Hai Headquarters sent 597 elites into the Xin Lu Taboo Games after layers of selection. Only four of them obtained divine-level ghost tattoos. They correspond to the four divine figurines. They are the core combat forces of the security department.” The middle-aged man picked up a broken piece. “However, half an hour ago, one of the divine ghosts dissipated.”

“Do you mean K has been killed? He left with two security teams, and he hasn’t been gone for long!” Jing Tuoshen was confused. He knew how scary these security members were. They had experienced the worst training inside the taboo game, and only 1/7 survived the test. The middle-aged man opened the box on the right. It was filled with blood bands, and only a few were still intact.

“Every one of the security members will leave behind a spare band at the headquarters. They are a set and lock onto every member’s information. When the owner dies, the spare band will self-destruct.” The middle-aged man’s face was calm, but the fury in his eyes was pouring out. “Do you know what this means?”

“Team seven and nine have been wiped out?!” Jing Tuoshen didn’t expect this either.

“What kind of mission did you send them on?”

“A group of horror game players recently surfaced at Han Hai. They seem to be connected to the shadow world. They wish to overthrow the investigation centre and replace it. I received news that their mission location tonight was at Li San Hospital. So I sent K there.” Jing Tuoshen did tell K to wait but K wanted to start the mission.

“Li San Hospital? What is the anomaly level there?” The middle-aged man was clearly more careful.

“It was Situ An’s asset. No one knew what he did there.”

“You allowed a monster to grow under your eyes?!” The middle-aged man’s tone was unfriendly. From his perspective, it was the carelessness of someone at Han Hai Headquarters that caused him to lose his people.

“Wan Jie, you better be careful with your words. Neither of us can make decisions like this.” Jing Tuoshen lowered his voice. “It is not our call to decide who is a human and who is a monster.”

“Call the wrong shots and face the consequences.” Unlike the others, the middle-aged man was not going to live his life as a weapon.

“I can pretend not to hear you.” Jing Tuoshen sent the information he gave K to Wan Jie and left.

He was on the same level as Wan Jie, so he had no power to order him around.

“Horror game players… In the taboo game, everyone is a horror game player.”

…

The God of Flesh and Blood returned to the torture room to rest. Gao Ming and the big dog walked down the fully-corrupted hospital corridors. One could barely notice that they were inside a hospital. After the windows of the back building were shattered, Gao Ming could see the slaughter happening in the front building.

After humans gained power, their desire would expand. If the desire were not controlled, one would only head towards destruction.

At the current stage, the horror game players were not united. They obtained powers during the early stages of the tragedy due to luck. They gathered at the front building and used their power to destroy the rules. The front building had turned into hell. Some horror game players had to escape to the back building to avoid the ghosts and their ‘teammates’.

“There will be more players. When Xia Yang controlled the Dead Water Forum, he didn’t care about the livelihood of the normal people. Everything he did was to maximise his profit. I can’t walk the same path. After I leave the hospital, I need to lay down some rules for the players.”

Blood flowed freely at the front building. Gao Ming knew how scary humanity could be. In his many death memories, most of the time, he was killed by other humans.

“You need to save yourself before you save others.” The big dog bit down the hospital map from the wall. “I found the gastroenterology department, but this place is not what I expected it to be.”

The big dog carried Gao Ming to the first floor. The lobby had changed fully from when they first arrived. All the sealed examination rooms were open and horrifying sounds echoed from every one of them.
