Horror Game Designer - Chapter 270: Home
The sharp scythe stayed on the side of the cradle. Any small movement could cause the cradle to fall. Gao Ming stood in the middle of all the stitched-up monsters.
“Back off!”
Gao Ming didn’t like to kill, and he didn’t want to torment the two doctors. He just wanted to figure out the hospital’s secret and find Situ An’s home. The metallic blades on the male doctor ground against each other. His red eyes trembled. His face represented the two different forces fighting inside his heart.
As the mother, the female doctor had a trace of pleading in her eyes. The chains had punctured her internal organs. The female doctor stopped resisting and delivered herself to her enemy. Gao Ming wanted to kill the two doctors, but their reactions caused him to hesitate.
“They still have humanity.”
Gao Ming picked up the death portrait and looked at the two doctors, “Your child is not inside the cradle. There is only a death portrait from the shadow world. What did Lu Zang and Situ An told you before they left?”
The two doctors couldn’t communicate like normal. They only knew how to follow orders based on the obsession in their hearts. Gao Ming had to find the answer on his own. He searched through the cradle and, to his surprise, found another picture. This picture had nothing to do with the shadow world. It was a very normal picture. In the picture, Situ An wore the uniform of the temp chief of the East City Investigation Centre. He sat in his office with a smile. Many toys were scattered on the floor in front of the office table. A kid around four sat on the ground, playing happily. Since he produced the picture, the two doctors’ gaze was fixed on it.
“Is he your child? Has Situ An taken him away?” The boy played with the building blocks and cars without worry. He seemed to like building houses and making a small neighbourhood beside the table.
Gao Ming turned the picture around. Situ An wrote something on the back of it. “I have decided to name him Ah Fang. I will treat him as my own child. He will not have anything to do with the shadow world. He will grow up happily and healthily like a normal child. I hope you won’t worry. Do not let him see you like this. That is the only way for him to disconnect fully from the shadow world.”
“Has Situ An promised to help you look after your child?” Gao Ming knew that Situ An had tricked the two doctors. The bastard could turn his own kid into a ghost, much less other people’s children.
“Their child has been selected by the shadow. The separation from the shadow world is impossible.” The big dog only dared to come closer after he made sure it was safe. “Look at that death portrait. The newborn came into being as a seed of the shadow world. His fate has been decided the moment he was born.”
The two doctors dominated Li San Hospital’s surgical room and kept providing the hospital with various mutated monsters. If the hospital was a monster, they were the monster’s heart. How could a child born in a monster’s heart be normal?
“Ah Fang?” Gao Ming studied the picture. “There has to be something about this kid to be valued by Situ An so much.” Gao Ming controlled the chains and pulled Situ An behind the various torture devices. He held the death portrait and reunited with the God of Flesh and Blood. The God with a broken arm was hungrily absorbing the blood from the meat mountain. The four faces became more corporeal. The scale of victory had tipped towards Gao Ming. As time dragged on, the situation was basically under Gao Ming’s control.
“Don’t worry. I’ll not hurt you. In fact, I’ll help you find your son.” Gao Ming was different from Situ An. He really did intend to help the family reunite. “However, I have a condition. One of you has to move into my heart.” The God of Flesh and Blood was connected to Gao Ming. The ribs pierced the chest. The door of the torture room slowly opened. The various torture devices were like sharp teeth. The chains glided, and the meat fragrance wafted. The scene was like a theme park in the apocalypse.
The Red Raincoat who stood at the corner seemed to have heard this very promise before. She lifted her head to look and then went back to spacing out again.
To be alive was to have hope.
The monsters that were born from the meat mountain started to wilt. The mountain gradually disintegrated. The female doctor knew that she would perish soon. She yelled at the male doctor. Her threads mobilised her body one last time. The female doctor at the top of the mountain tipped towards the torture room!
At the same time, the male doctor rushed to the female doctor. This was the first time he retracted all the blades on his body. He wanted to stop the female doctor. Just as the female doctor’s threads couldn’t heal the wounds in their hearts, the male doctor couldn’t do anything to stop or harm the female doctor.
Gao Ming didn’t use any force or coercion, but the two doctors seemed to misunderstand him. They struggled in each other’s embrace as they tumbled into the torture room.
The God of Flesh and Blood couldn’t care less about romance and love. The ribs closed, and the two doctors were trapped inside the torture room.
“Why did both of them fall in?” Gao Ming didn’t anticipate this. “This makes me look like the bad guy.”
It was easy to enter the torture room but impossible to leave. They would join Gao Ming and escape fate’s control.
Gao Ming wanted to pursue the rest of the investigation centre, but the God of Flesh and Blood was injured and needed to rest.
The God of Flesh and Blood toppled the meat mountain. The monsters became God’s food. Most of them were absorbed into his resentment room. When this was done, the size of the resentment room would at least double.
“You should let your God rest.” The big dog knelt at the corner.
Gao Ming put the bone-paring knife back on the torture room wall. He slowly approached the two doctors. To show his sincerity, he took out both pictures.
Seeing the change in Gao Ming, the two doctors were cautious. They didn’t dare to make big moves. In the end, it was Gao Ming who shoved the pictures into their hands.
“I’m a man of my word. I will help you find your child. However, before that, I need to leave this hospital.” Gao Ming sat down and put on the psychology-reading mask. “You’ve been at the hospital for a long time. Have you heard anyone mentioned anything about a home?”
