Horror Game Designer-Chapter 400: Father and Mother
In the entire Class 13, Xi San believed he was the most popular. He was a basketball player. He was tall and handsome. He was stylish and caring. Who wouldn’t like a young man like that?
Nevertheless, Xi San had a secret in his heart. When he was in high school, many students confessed to him. However, he was never moved. His heart was with a woman twelve years older than him. She lived above his apartment home. It was this big sister who introduced him to a brand-new world. Holding the purple bra in his palm, Xi San’s memory was rapidly fading until that sole figure remained in his mind.
He leaned his face forward. When his nose was about to touch the bra, there was a knock on the door. Xi San stood up in a panic. He shoved the bra into his pocket and ran to the door with a bit of anger.
“Is Gao Ming at your place? We’re his parents.”
“Gao Ming’s parents?”
The name mentioned appeared to carry some magical powers. After some hesitation, Xi San opened the door, “Hi. Aunty, Uncle. Gao Ming is my roommate. Did something happen to him?”
“Gao Ming hasn’t come home. We can’t reach his number either. We’re worried about him, so we came to see if he’s with you or not.” The middle-aged couple holding a birthday cake was very polite. As if worried that Xi San might misunderstand, they maintained a safe distance from Xi San.
“Since you’re my good brother’s parents, then, you’re my parents too. It’s very dangerous in the building now. Why don’t you come in?” Xi San offered.
The couple was surprised to have met such a kind tenant. They waved their hands. “We still need to find Gao Ming.”
“Why don’t I come with you?” Xi San had forgotten many things, but certain instincts were branded into his soul, like sticking close to Wang Jie and Gao Ming were his only path to survival. He had no idea why those instincts were present, but he was too lazy to ponder them. “If I stay, I’ll just be trapped and eventually die from hunger and thirst. In that case, why don’t I help Aunty and Uncle look for Gao Ming? Aunty and Uncle don’t look like bad people.”
Xi San stuck so close to the couple that it made the latter feel quite uncomfortable.
“I have no idea what’s happening tonight, but strange occurrences are being reported all over the building. I know you’re worried about Gao Ming, but you have to listen to me. I have some advice. Do not take the elevator. People have died inside; Do not count the steps as you go down the stairs; Run if you encounter a bloodred door on the corridor; And…” Before Xi San finished, he saw the couple stop before the elevator. When the door opened, the couple walked into the elevator as if they hadn’t heard Xi San’s warning.
“Hey!” Xi San rushed to stop them. The couple was so worried about Gao Ming that they didn’t leave the elevator. In fact, they ‘accidentally’ pulled Xi San into the elevator to join them.
…
Inside the corridor of Building Three, Doctor Lee chased after his wife, who was running upstairs. Fan Li and the others followed from behind. Ever since they entered this building, Ou Yang Susu appeared to be possessed. She kept saying that their unborn child was looking for her. The group worked together to detain her. They thought she would calm down, but when someone was not paying attention, Ou Yang Susu immediately escaped and ran down the corridor.
“Stop!” Xia Yang shouted. He had sensed something. “That woman has been taken over by the God of the Future. We’ll all die because of her if we keep following her!”
He Jing and the other horror game players stopped once they heard that. Xia Yang grabbed Fan Li by his shoulders. Compared to the others, Xia Yang also thought Fan Li was more reliable, so he didn’t want to watch him die for no reason.
The moment Doctor Lee and Ou Yang Susu turned the corner, they disappeared. No one knew where they went.
“Susu! Slow down! Stop running!”

Doctor Lee followed his wife into one of the rooms. When he came to, he realised his way back was gone. Only silence and darkness remained. There was the sound of a child crying. Doctor Lee gritted his teeth and ventured deeper into the room. The room was the smallest at Prosperity Neighbourhood. The decor was simplistic. The owner seemed to have burnt through their money to purchase this place. They had to take on severe debts. ℟ÁΝОΒËS̈
“Honey, are you home?” Ou Yang Susu’s voice came from the bedroom. Her gentle tone caused Doctor Lee to shiver with goosebumps.
“Susu?” Doctor Lee walked to the bedroom door with uncertainty. Next to the high-end double bed was a bassinet. Ou Yang Susu parted her ponytail. She smiled as she reached her hand into the bassinet. She seemed to be playing with the baby. Doctor Lee slowly moved forward. He sucked in a cold breath. There was really a baby inside the bassinet.
“Honey, look at our kid. How much he looks like you.” Ou Yang Susu’s voice was so motherly that Doctor Lee was scared. “Thank you for giving me such a wonderful and perfect family.”
“Susu, this is not our home! That is not your child!” Doctor Lee said anxiously. He felt pinpricks of fear the longer he stayed in that place. This was definitely not his home. However, as Ou Yang Susu said those words of kindness, he started to feel his surroundings becoming familiar. With their financial ability, they couldn’t afford this place even if they tried their best.
Thin, black lines grew out of Ou Yang Susu’s pupils. She picked up the baby, her face glowing with love.
“These are all fake! Susu, you are in the illusion created by the God of the Future! Wake up!” Doctor Lee wanted Ou Yang Susu to put down the baby and leave with him. However, when the baby sensed danger, Ou Yang Susu transformed into a different person. Even her presence became frighteningly alarming.
Doctor Lee was helpless. He suddenly missed his direct, manly and kind wife.
“No. I have to bring you away from here!” Doctor Lee came to a decision. He came to the living room to find a suitable weapon. However, there was a knock on the door. An unfamiliar voice came through.
“Hello. Have you seen a high-school student in his school uniform? Our son hasn’t come home until now. We’re worried.”
The knocking never ceased. It was like the people outside knew there was someone inside.
With a trace of confusion, Doctor Lee slowly opened the living room door.
