Chapter 194: Public Enemy

“Because Han Hai hasn’t found that key person.” Situ An looked at Gao Ming, “You can understand the shadow world as the shadow of the real world. The cities in the real world will appear in the shadow world. I don’t know about Jiujiang, but I know that Xin Lu corresponds to an endless blood city in the shadow world. The players trapped in the game help expand the bloody city. Based on the headquarters’s top secret document, that city is connected to someone in Xin Lu.”

Situ An didn’t continue but changed his tune, “Han Hai is different from them. This city’s alternative in the shadow world is abandoned and dark. Without an owner, it is like the place is dead.”

“A dead city?” Gao Ming had no idea how many strange cities existed in the shadow world. However, he had been there, and his impression of the city was indeed one of death.

“The shadow version of Han Hai hasn’t found its owner. In other words, any one of us has the possibility to be the master of the shadow Han Hai.” Situ An didn’t hide his ambitions. He was excited whenever he talked about these.josei

“What kind of conditions do you need to fulfil to become Han Hai’s owner in the shadow world?” Xia Yang also discovered something interesting. The three of them were special, even among antagonists.

Situ An smiled and didn’t continue. He could see from Xia Yang and Gao Ming’s eyes that they temporarily would not kill him. His goal had been achieved.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll draw out your heart and brain and look for the answers myself.” Xia Yang was insane too. He sat before Situ An and started to figure out a solution.

Gao Ming didn’t meddle in their business. He had already obtained very important info from Situ An. Jiujiang and Xin Lu had traces of anomaly a long time ago. The two cities chose two different ways to deal with them. Xin Lu wanted to unite with the shadow world, while Jiujiang appeared to wish to fight the shadow world to the bitter end.

From the current situation, Jiujiang’s methods seemed to be better. At least, there had not been a single serious case of anomaly there, and the investigation centre had no right even to expand there.

Compared to Jiujiang and Xin Lu, Han Hai was more special. It had a high population and was highly influential. Due to various reasons, the upper layer hid the existence of the anomalies. Some who knew the truth could replicate Jiujiang and Xin Lu and even made use of the chaos as a ladder to reach the top. Situ An was one such person.

“You’ve said so much, but you still haven’t told us who would come to rescue you.” Xia Yang toyed with the chains as he admired Situ An’s pain, calmness and gracefulness.

“I know many secrets. Some can’t ever be revealed. The existences related to these secrets will find me at any price. Even if I die, they have to see my corpse. If you have the God of Flesh and Blood dissolve my body, they will have to come find you.” Being trapped in the torture room, Situ An didn’t feel fear. “Some of them are from the headquarters, and others are nightmares from Xin Lu. Some of them are humans; others are ghosts. I wonder how you’ll deal with them.”

“They don’t even know it was Gao Ming who kidnapped you.” Xia Yang narrowed his eyes. He knew Situ An wasn’t lying. He also knew that if Gao Ming died, he would perish too. If he wanted to be reborn in Gao Ming, Gao Ming had to be alive.

“They will investigate everyone involved. If they don’t get the results, they will repeat what they did five years ago and kill everyone.” Situ An might have said that on purpose. The more secrets he knew, the more valuable he was. Gao Ming would keep him around.

“If they really dare to come, it’s hard to tell who will die. I don’t think it’ll take long for this place to become crowded.” Xia Yang didn’t like crowds because he thought humans were boring. However, he had changed his mind. People who interacted with Gao Ming were all interesting people.

“Gao Ming, should we escape?” The big dog’s voice entered his ears. Gao Ming was worried that the big dog might enter the torture room out of curiosity, so he didn’t let him into his heart.

“How is the situation at Han De Private School?” Gao Ming’s voice softened since the thorn by his side had been removed.

“You better look at it yourself.” The big dog jumped out of the shadow and opened his jaw.

The storm weakened. The investigation centre’s quarantine of the school failed fully. The three defence lines collapsed. Class 13 and the scapegoats worked together to take down the agents and take over the buses. To confuse the centre, they escaped in different directions.

It was chaos outside the school and hell inside the school. The red raincoat fought You Liang, the art teacher, and Zhong Long at the same time. She was gradually weakened, and her coat was not as red.

However, she showed no signs of retreating. Her battle was like a wish for death. She didn’t care about anything but to kill.

“Red Spectres are ghosts unique to Jiujiang. She probably knows more secrets. I can use her to compare the info I get from Situ An.” Gao Ming knew the Red Spectres were dangerous, but he still wanted to get close to her. This side of him was similar to Xia Yang’s.

All the ghosts that could run had already escaped from the school. Those who remained were the human bricks and the children personally taught by Yan Xizhi. After Situ An was swallowed by Gao Ming, the old headmistress slowly regained control of the school rules. As she suppressed the red raincoat, she tried to heal Ji Jie and chase away the unknown existence that came from the shadow world. On the ruins of the school, Ji Jie led the students heavily impacted by the Fear Illness to join the Tree of Flesh. They attacked the shadow altar like crazy.

The dirty thing that came from the shadow world was not affected by the Fear Illness. However, the sacrifices offered by Situ An had all been infected. The fear of the sacrifices corrupted it. It was also confused about the appearance of something like the giant flesh tree in the real world.

Endless roots grew into the sacrifice’s bodies and crawled through the shadow altar. Ji Jie was undeniably the main character of this anomaly. He overshone everyone.

“Has Ji Jie become united with the fear doll?” The Fear Illness spread wider and wider. After the unknown existence failed to sense Situ An’s presence, it wanted to leave, but Ji Jie refused to let it go.

Ji Jie had been a coward for twenty-plus years. For that one hour, he wanted to be a hero. He encouraged himself and attacked again and again.

This scenario was recorded by the investigation centre. Ji Jie was determined as a dangerous character closest to a level 5 anomaly, the culprit behind the fall of Han De Private School, and the city’s biggest enemy.
