Chapter 692: Torture Room's Limit

“Did it go well?” When the leader of Team One saw Gao Ming, he pinched out his cigarette and walked over.

“It went so smoothly that it felt surreal.” Gao Ming glanced at Jing Tuoshen. He had certain things that he didn’t want to say while he was inside the fortress. The five captains seemed to know that he would come to them. They didn’t plan to let him into Hope New City, but led him directly to the underground lab. They appeared sincere and showed Gao Ming the core of their secrets. They volunteered the presence of another Dream Ghost underneath the mess of flesh. However, they underestimated the sensory ability of the God of Flesh and Blood.

Deep inside Hope New City, a hidden consciousness glanced at Gao Ming. The God of Flesh and Blood couldn’t glean more information. However, the other party could hide from Yan Xizhi and Gui Yuan. They had to be a Dream Ghost. The Han Hai Investigation Centre Headquarters had three Dream Ghosts. Hope City had more secrets.

“The captains said they promised others to look after Wan Jie. It looks like they are connected to Immortal Pharma’s No. 0 too. However, between No. 0 and me, they chose me.” Gao Ming voiced these before Jing Tuoshen, but the latter pretended to hear nothing.

The group eventually came to a pure white room. A blind man with rustled hair was kept inside.

“Captain Wan!” The leader of Team One rushed into the room. He cut off the bindings and held Wan Jie.

“Have you found a new way to trick me? Even though I’ve lost my eyes, do you think I’ll fall for a cheap trick like this?” Wan Jie sounded weak, but his words proved that they had done many things to harm him.

“Where are his eyes?” Gao Ming asked Jing Tuoshen.

“I don’t know.” Jing Tuoshen shrugged. “You’re a Dream Ghost. If you don’t believe me, you can search my brain.” Gao Ming grabbed the man by his head. Before anyone could react, he shoved him into the torture room. He was so fast that even the captains didn’t get to stop him. Jing Tuoshen didn’t anticipate this. They were chatting nicely. Why would he suddenly attack?

Instantly, Jing Tuoshen sank into a dream. In the blink of an eye, Gao Ming searched through his brain. When the captains started to intervene, Gao Ming dragged Jing Tuoshen out. “He told me to do it. You can’t blame me.” Gao Ming patted the leader of Team One and shook his head. “Jing Tuoshen doesn’t carry any memory related to Wan Jie’s eyes. We will leave for now.”Ignoring Jing Tuoshen, Gao Ming and the leader of Team One entered the elevator. Zuo Jun was called away, so only Bai Xiao was left alone in the elevator. He pretended not to know Gao Ming until they reached the surface. When the door opened and Gao Ming walked past Bai Xiao, the latter slipped a small bottle into Gao Ming’s palm and silently walked away.

Gao Ming took in the fresh air and looked at Hope City, the only place in Han Hai to receive the sun. “Can a Dream Ghost be hidden under the sun?”

“In any case, I don’t think the headquarters are good people.” The leader of Team One helped Wan Jie into the car. They had to exchange a few codes before Wan Jie believed him.

“I didn’t think you’d save me.” Wan Jie tried to open his eyes. Two holes looked at Gao Ming. He wanted to see Gao Ming, but he saw nothing.

“Immortal Pharma has become No. 0’s tool. I need you to return to Xin Lu and find a chance to expose him.”

“I’ve been rendered useless. I can’t help you.” Wan Jie closed his eyes. “No. 0 is really scary.”

“That makes me more interested in him.” Gao Ming opened the bottle that Bai Xiao gave him. It contained a thin piece of human skin. It was a code that only a Dream Ghost’s blood could decrypt. The blood turned the nonsensical symbols on the skin into words. The gist was that the headquarters had three Blood City heirs, and they corresponded to the support of the three Dream Ghosts.

The broken corpse captain supported Jing Tuoshen. The Dream Ghost inside the corpse once supported Situ An. The hidden Dream Ghost in Hope City supported a normal person living in Hope City.

“Situ An and the Dream Ghost behind him are out of the picture. Is the headquarters placing all of their hope on Jing Tuoshen?” Situ An burned the human skin and closed his eyes to rest.

When they returned to the old city, it was already late afternoon. Gao Ming went to the edge of the city to visit the home mentioned in the birthday death portrait. However, the black mist spread too quickly. Most of the area had been eclipsed. He was afraid of being discovered by the Unmentionables so he gave up.

He went to Zhang Ding’s supermarket. The place had been transformed into a free market for horror game players. Cursed items were displayed by the roadside. Stalls were squeezed together. The players didn’t need to worry about safety because no one dared to cross the line here.

“You left so suddenly. I thought you…” Wei Dayou tried to force a tear, but Gao Ming interrupted him.

“Don’t say that. You’re making it sound like I died.”

“A few months ago, we were discussing how to make a horror game, and now we’re the NPC inside a horror city.” Wei Dayou didn’t awaken any ghost power. He was cowardly and timid. He didn’t dare to brand any ghost tattoo on himself. He survived based on his connections with humans and ghosts.

“Yes. Time flies.”

Walking down the street, a lot of people greeted Wei Dayou.

“Dayou, do you want to visit the real world?”

“Why would I? Life here is not too bad.”

Wei Dayou personally watched Gao Ming enter the largest sick zone at the old city, Li San Hospital. This place used to be Situ An’s lair. It was where he hid his mother. Lu Zang and he planned many things there.

Gao Ming entered the hospital. The horror game players had received news from the Dead Water Forum to evacuate. Gao Ming and the monsters in the shadow were the only entities in this sick zone.

“We can start now.”

Gao Ming cut open his chest, and the torture room’s door opened in Li San Hospital. The horrifying presence was contained to a certain degree.

The god with four faces looked around. The eight arms sealed all the exits. Gao Ming slowly walked to the roof and pulled all the ghosts into the torture room!

He wanted to see what the torture room’s limit was.

“Come! I’ll bring you to the new world!”
