Chapter 222: Map

“It looks like Xia Yang found out more from Situ An but didn’t tell me.” Gao Ming stepped on the pile of meat and walked to the blood door. The door separated two worlds.

“Don’t touch it. Let me.” Zhang Ding waved his hand, and a surge of flood blasted the door open. They saw the corridor made from blood and shadow behind the door. “This door is heavily damaged. Situ An probably brought it back from somewhere else and modified it into a ‘safe’ to keep his treasures.”

“A broken door…” The door’s original appearance had been covered by the humans. Gao Ming could only see the sacrificed newbies on the door. “The world is becoming more absurd. More monstrosities will appear in the future.” Gao Ming could sense that the newbies were still alive. He could even hear their heartbeats. “Bring this door with us when we leave and see if we can save them.”

After entering the door, the world behind it brought Gao Ming a feeling different from the shadow world. If the shadow world was a dark and rotten can, this corridor was like a bloodred coffin. There was death and destruction everywhere.

“Based on my earlier information, doors will only appear in Jiujiang. Did Situ An bring this door to Han Hai from Jiujiang? Did he want to modify this door using the rules of this city?” Gao Ming in the mask discussed it with Zhang Ding. The God of Flesh and Blood reacted strongly. Xia Yang was just in front of them.

“Stop!” The gun barrels were aimed at Gao Ming and Zhang Ding. The East City Investigation Centre’s security members warned coolly, “Stop moving!”

“Are there still people alive?” Zhang Ding was impressed by Teacher Xia. He thought the man would have killed everyone already. “We mean no harm.”

Boss Zhang raised his hands in surrender and wanted to explain the situation. Suddenly, the guns fired. The water dripped. Zhang Ding looked at the holes in his chest. The bullet went through his body and exploded behind the spot where his heart should be. The other party didn’t even give him the chance to explain anything. They aimed to kill.

“Why go for the kill directly? Are you not humans too? How are you… worse than a ghost?” The murky water leaked out of Zhang Ding’s wound. The water rose until it almost flooded the corridor. Gao Ming touched his chest. Even though he had obtained the God of Flesh and Blood’s power, he would still die if he was injured fatally. The gunfires didn’t stop. However, how could the bullets stop a flood?

Boss Zhang was only weaker than Headmistress Yan. Before the security members could use the red bands, he dragged them into the blood. Boss Zhang didn’t want to kill. He wanted to convert them. After all, he lacked security at his supermarket.

The commotion in the corridor grabbed the attention of the people inside the Home of Lunatics. Boss Zhang knew not to waste time on words. He controlled the flood to wash the corridor. Normally, the East City security department was very strong and resourceful. However, Zhang Ding and Gao Ming didn’t give them any chance. The two big ghosts attacked with their full force instantly.

“Home of lunatics? Is everyone here a lunatic? They have arranged everything neatly for us. That’s kind of them.” Gao Ming looked through the stack of pictures. “How is Xia Yang not here? Is he not crazy enough for the shadow world?”

“I’m more curious how you and Situ An are not here.” Zhang Ding pulled He Yi out of the flood. He pinned this leader of the security department to the wall. “Thank you for your help. Without you, we wouldn’t be able to enter Situ An’s home.”

“This is not his home. We’ve been tricked.” He Yi spat out the smelly water. He felt like he had just died. “We’ve searched everywhere. We found nothing.” He Yi finally learned humility before absolute power.

“The place is called the Home of Lunatics and Home of Butchers. Do you think I’m dumb?” Zhang Ding smacked He Yi. In his mind, Situ An was the craziest butcher.

“A cunning hare has three burrows. You saw Situ An’s dying video. With his personality, he’ll fake a home.” Gao Ming put away the pictures of all the lunatics and looked around. “Although I have to be impressed that Situ An managed to find a broken door.”

“The blood door is related to a Red Spectre. The power source of the security department in the east city comes from the Red Spectre. If we’re all killed, the Red Spectre will regain freedom and murder everyone nearby.” He Yi tried to negotiate his value.

“That is not enough reason to keep you alive.”

Gao Ming put away all the pictures and walked to the other room, the Home of Butchers. The commotion outside was so loud, but there was no reaction from inside the room. This was very abnormal.

“Xia Yang is in this room. What is he doing?” Gao Ming summoned the God of Flesh and Blood. He had Gong Xi protect him as he pushed open the door.

When he saw the person inside the room, Gao Ming sucked in a cold breath. He seemed to see fate. Su Mo, in his delivery uniform, stood at the door, all flustered. He was so scared by the God of Flesh and Blood that he forgot to breathe. This scene was very familiar to Gao Ming. Certain things couldn’t be changed. Fate kept reminding him that.

“Should I call you Xia Yang or Su Mo?”

“Y-you can call me anything you want.” Su Mo hugged the delivery box and retreated until he was back against the wall.

Paint dripped away from Su Mo and returned to Gao Ming’s heart. Teacher Xia was called back into Gao Ming’s heart using God’s power.

Gao Ming walked into the Home of the Butchers and ignored Su Mo. The thing he saw was different from what Su Mo saw.

The collapsed bone city seemed to be awakened by some power. Gao Ming felt a warmth in his heart. He took out the birthday death portrait. His parents in the picture turned to look at the ruins of the city.

Shadow poured out of the picture and soaked through the bloody city. The bone fragments seemed to come back alive. They regrew, and soon, a new model city of Han Hai appeared before Gao Ming.

“What is this?”

“A map of the shadow world.” Xia Yang’s voice said, “I’ve figured everything out for you. Only you and Situ An can command this city model. This is the most valuable thing behind the door. You can see every influence caused by the anomalies through this map directly.”
