Horror Game Designer-Chapter 663: Cities

The divine, hidden in the dark, looked down on the world. Every human and ghost it saw would be torn apart by illness, curse and tragedy before melting into the dark. However, that day, the divine power lost its effect. Or rather, it met a target who was insignificant yet stubborn.

With a beating heart, Gao Ming walked out of the shadow of the dark. He instantly understood that he had been yanked into the altar.

“The power of the Unmentionable still lingers in the altar!”

No. 2’s warning was right. Immortal Pharma didn’t set up a defence because they didn’t think it was necessary. The core of the ship had drawn the Unmentionable’s attention. Even a Pure Hatred would be trapped.

Realising Gao Ming hadn’t died, the blurry face turned to him again. Darkness corrupted every inch of his skin. He couldn’t run away or avoid it. Gao Ming was shredded in the blink of an eye. However, whenever he only had a heart remaining, another Gao Ming would crawl out of the dark. Plus, he’d get closer to the human face.

“Its real body is not here. Does it think it can make me submit with its consciousness alone?” Gao Ming’s eyes shone with determination. He took another step forward. He didn’t care what scary thing was hidden in the dark. He didn’t care if he was walking into hell. This was a competition of will.

The gaze could destroy Gao Ming again and again. However, a new Gao Ming emerged every time. He was not the chosen one. He was a normal man fighting against fate. He was not gifted. He gained the right to fight with the Gods through many deaths. Even then, his will was weak. He couldn’t fight against the Unmentionable’s gaze. However, to the Unmentionable’s surprise, the weak man slowly walked towards it.

The Unmentionable’s consciousness hung in the sky. It represented the rules. Gao Ming’s will was like a firefly. It couldn’t chase away the dark, but the dark couldn’t extinguish it. Using death as the steps, Gao Ming eventually reached the face. Gao Ming reached out to grab the face. At that moment, Gao Ming’s body crumbled endlessly in the dark.

The Unmentionable was extremely powerful, but at that moment, it realised there was someone more inexplicable than it was. It could only watch as Gao Ming’s hands inched closer to it. No death or darkness could stop him. Gao Ming’s five fingers phased through the dark to touch its face.

“Torture room!”

The Blood City tattoo appeared. The dark was dyed with red. It was no longer pure. Gao Ming’s chest wound opened. Just as he tried to yank the face into his heart, the blurry face and its accompanying darkness disappeared. Light returned. Gao Ming finally saw the real scenery inside the altar.

His eyes narrowed as Gao Ming’s heart skipped a beat. He knew Immortal Pharma would have an ironclad defence to resist any infiltration, but he didn’t expect something of this scale. Three faceless figures stood before him. Each of them had the shadow of a Blood City flickering behind them.

The first figure was mostly hidden in the dark. The Blood City behind it consumed all the light.

The second figure appeared to exist in a different dimension. It was both near and far, real and fake. The Blood City it sheltered was the same. It had a barely discernible shadow. It was like a story that existed in rumours.

The third figure was made from flesh and blood. It resembled the figurine of the God of Flesh and Blood. However, it didn’t emit meat fragrance but a horrible stench! The Blood City behind it was the same. To Gao Ming’s consternation, the God of Flesh and Blood showed great hostility towards this Blood City. The four faces had never been so united.

“Does the God of Flesh and Blood come from this decaying Blood City?” Gao Ming could barely suppress the God of Flesh and Blood. No. 2 also started to go insane. A curse exploded on his body. His main body was being tormented.

“It might be an Unmentionable supporting No. 0 but three Blood Cities! Darkness, illusion and flesh and blood! No wonder I lost.” No. 2’s voice dripped with pain and despair. This was beyond his expectation.

The three figurines came from three Blood Cities and their corresponding Unmentionables. Even though they were not physically there, their gazes were on Gao Ming. Even though they represented extreme darkness, they made Gao Ming feel like he was an ice melting in the sun. Gao Ming’s existence could be wiped out in the next moment.

“They are not the basic Unmentionables. They represent the rules of Blood City! Even though they are not here, their figurines contain their consciousness.” No. 2 shouted at Gao Ming through the pain. His body was tortured by No. 0, but he also brought Gao Ming news.

“The attack of three Unmentionables?”

Dream Ghost was weaker than Unmentionables. Gao Ming had no experience fighting them. He was placed under the gaze of three Unmentionables. The pressure was high. Before Gao Ming could figure out what to do, the decaying figurine had already attacked. It used the same tactic as the God of Flesh and Blood. With it as the centre, everything around it, except the two other figurines, rapidly turned into flesh.

Everything decayed. Gao Ming retreated, but he soon realised something was wrong. Unmentionable’s attack was unavoidable. Even though the God of Flesh and Blood shielded him, his body started to wilt!

The smell of meat decay and fragrance appeared on Gao Ming. His will was might, but his body in real life hadn’t reached the state where it could resist a Demon God. The best option was for him to abandon his physical body to combine with the God of Flesh and Blood.

“Am I going to die again?”

Blood flowed out of his eyes. His skin rotted. Everything happened too quickly. The floating investigators and devices around Gao Ming started to waste away.

“I cannot escape! This ship is filled with Immortal Pharma’s sins. If I run away, Immortal Pharma will pin the deaths of all the taboo game players on me. I will also lose this path to head to Han Hai!” Gao Ming opened the torture room. He hauled out Dream’s altar and tossed it to Zhang Ding.

“Are you worried about the investigators?” Zhang Ding knew what Gao Ming wanted to do. He accepted the altar and opened the door. “You are a good man, so why do you present yourself as a villain to the world?”
