Chapter 196: We'll Become the Night

Indescribable pain swept through his body. It was like every one of his blood vessels was twisting. When the chains curled around the red raincoat, Gao Ming felt like his consciousness was being cut endlessly by knives. The obsession of the Red Spectre exploded in his heart room. The superhuman pain, despair and regret overwhelmed him instantly.

The moment a normal person touched a Red Spectre’s obsession, their brain would die. However, Gao Ming died again and again in the tunnel. His experience was not any better than the Red Spectre. His obsession, which was constructed from many death memories, was stronger than a normal Red Spectre’s. Gao Ming gripped the pebbles and grass so tight that his nails cracked. Blood slid down the corner of his eyes.

Gao Ming could sense the struggle of the red raincoat inside his heart room. Even with the God of Flesh and Blood’s presence, his heart was about to shatter. Death was inevitable.

Being in the same room as the Red Spectre, Xia Yang drew excitedly while Situ An’s eyes twitched. The difference between him and Xia Yang was he was chained. A normal shaking of the chains would cause him great pain, much less when the chains needed to pin down a Red Spectre.

“Trapping a Red Spectre in one’s heart. Is this even possible?”

Gao Ming didn’t have time to care about Situ An’s soul. His heart raced, and he suffocated. When Gao Ming felt like his heart was about to burst, a warm energy flowed into him. Someone placed a hand on his shoulder. Gao Ming could barely turn his head around to see Yan Xizhi’s serious face.

“Teacher Yan…”

Yan Xizhi had gained full control of the school rules and willingly paved the way for all the human bricks. Yan Xizhi had become a unique Han Hai big ghost mentioned by Situ An.

The human bricks collapsed, and Yan Xizhi aged overnight. It took half an hour before Gao Ming’s heartbeat normalised again. At that moment, the red raincoat’s Heart of the Red Spectre and Situ An’s Heart of the Soul pounded with the same rhythm. They were tied to Gao Ming by fate and stood across from fate.

The chains that circled the red raincoat fell to the ground. Gao Ming saw part of the woman’s life. It was a storm that pushed the woman into the deep sea. He still couldn’t communicate with the red raincoat, but he could understand why she was so extreme. Perishing was a release for them. The Heart of Resentment was the source of their power and the source of their pain. They didn’t want to become ghosts, but they couldn’t exist as humans in this world anymore. They refused to let go, so they became Red Spectre. It had nothing to do with faith and memory. They existed on the basis of their obsession. Their special power and strength had to do with their obsessions. Gao Ming could use the God of Flesh and Blood and the chains to detain the red raincoat, but if he did that, whenever he needed the God of Flesh and Blood, he would worry that the red raincoat might struggle loose.

Therefore, he chose to coexist with her instead.

“Do you feel better?” Liu Yi helped Gao Ming up. Yan Shaoyu looked at Gao Ming with alert. She felt like Liu Yi was too close to Gao Ming.

“I’m fine.” Gao Ming thanked everyone before going to Yan Xizhi. “Headmistress, thank you for your help. If you need me in the future, just tell me.”

Gao Ming wasn’t afraid of trouble. Everyone wanted to be friends with someone like Yan Xizhi.

Yan Xizhi shook her head. She turned to the school ruins. “You’ve saved so many students and awakened their selves. You are this school’s saviour. However, there is still a big problem that hasn’t been solved.”

“Is it the shadow altar summoned by Situ An?” Gao Ming turned to the school. The altar had disappeared. The black fog and the mutated students on the sacrificial table had disappeared.

“The thing escaped during the chaos. The urgent issue now is to deal with that tree.” Yan Xizhi stared at the giant flesh tree with confusion, “How did it even appear?”

Many patients of Fear Illness had become a part of the tree. For Yan Xizhi, the seeds of fear spread by the tree were the most evil thing in the world.

“Why is there a tree at my school? Which side is it from?”

The giant tree attacked the monster summoned by Situ An, swallowed half of the student council members, and its tree roots pierced through the water ghosts in the root. It attacked everything.

“I don’t know.” Everyone was troubled. Gao Ming pursed his lips. “Why don’t we let Han Hai Investigation Centre handle it? We can retreat first.”

Fear Illness had spread. To solve this problem, Gao Ming’s solution was to end his life and restart inside the tunnel.

“You should leave. I’ll stay to accompany this tree to stop it from growing.” Yan Xizhi built a new wall on top of the ruins. “I can sense the helplessness at the core of this core. It is grown from a fragile soul. It is not a bad thing. There is a chance for education.”

“Then, I’ll stay too.” You Liang walked out before turning to look at Gao Ming, “Situ An’s base is more than just one Han De Private Academy. The investigation centre has lost so much. The whole city might sink into chaos.”

“Therefore, you want to use this chance to expand your power and construct your own rules?” Gao Ming walked towards You Liang with sincerity. “Do you wish to join us?”

You Liang instantly ran away. “I only hope that you’ll save more people! Beware that you don’t become the next Situ An!”

“Don’t force it. I think he doesn’t like us from Class 13.” Liu Yi chuckled as she saw the fleeing You Liang. Gao Ming’s words forced a big ghost to escape.

“You Liang’s warning is not without reason. I plan to expose part of the gaming guide on Dead Water Forum.” Gao Ming was walking down the path of an unknown future. His eyes glowed.

“A gaming guide?”

“Yes.” Gao Ming looked at the buses disappearing down the horizon. Each bus was filled with students and ghosts. “The whole city is going to experience ghost stories. Everyone will play the games I designed.”

The clouds hadn’t dispersed, and the sun hadn’t risen. However, Gao Ming’s eyes filled with light and hope. This time, he would become part of the night.josei

“What do you plan to do? Calm down. Think about it before making a decision like that.” Liu Yi felt like Gao Ming’s plan was scary. Only someone infected by Fear Illness would have the whole city play the scary horror games.

“Since night will fall, why don’t we become the darkest night? We can be the scariest darkness to prepare them to welcome the arrival of dawn.”
