Horror Game Designer-Chapter 638: His Choice

Ah Fang was scared when he saw the pictures related to him on the wall. He buried his head in Gao Ming’s chest and closed his eyes.

“Don’t be scared.” Gao Ming’s heartbeats were calming. They possessed some kind of power.

“We were once chess pieces on fate’s board. Compared to your brilliance, I was nothing. However, things are different now. I’ll try my best to turn the board over.”

Ah Fang had no idea what Gao Ming was talking about. He didn’t want to face anything. He just wanted to escape and be with his family.

When they left the underground lab, half of the hospital staff was gone. Only the confused patients were wandering around.

They returned to Ah Fang’s mother’s room. Gao Ming saw two nurses injecting something into the woman’s arm. They also attached a tight metallic helmet to her head. Ah Fang was like a furious beast when he saw his mother being bullied. He struggled loose from Gao Ming and charged into the room. The nurses didn’t expect him to appear. They merely received sudden orders to transfer the essential patients.

“Thank you. Leave the rest to me. I wish you beautiful dreams.”

The nurses fell into nightmares. Ah Fang clumsily peeled off the metallic helmet from his mother’s head. He cried and exposed the many wounds in his mouth.

The woman couldn’t do anything even though her son was greatly bullied. Her heart was tormented by guilt and pain. Her murky eyes moved to Gao Ming. She repeated, “Kill me. Please kill me…”

Footsteps came from outside the door. Ah Fang held his mother’s hand and refused to let go. It was time to choose.

“I know a place that is absolutely safe. You will not be harassed in the future, but the price is… You’ll be permanently bound to my fate.” Gao Ming’s tattooed arm was like a key. He placed it over his heart, and the torture room door slowly opened. The arm of God of Flesh and Blood grabbed at Ah Fang hungrily.

“Let him choose.” Gao Ming stopped the God of Flesh and Blood because he wanted to give Ah Fang agency.

Ah Fang opened many blood doors and ate many strange things while asleep. This was his first time committing to a choice when he was awake. Ah Fang held his mother’s hand and lifted his tiny head to look at Gao Ming. In his mind, Gao Ming was always asleep. When the other patients chased him away for annoying them, he’d often hide in Gao Ming’s room. Even though he hadn’t communicated with Gao Ming before, he felt like he had known Gao Ming for a long time. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

“Can I stay with my mom?”

“Of course.”

The young face looked at his mother. Ah Fang covered his mother’s hands and disappeared into the torture room. When that happened, the Blood City Tattoo on Gao Ming’s body lit up. Previously, the tattoo came alive due to the power of faith. With Ah Fang by his side, the dead city lit up in a bloody flame again.

After the blood city was massacred, it welcomed a new change. Immortal Pharma controlled Ah Fang to have a better mastery over the blood city. Gao Ming’s method was different. He slowly combined with the city to become a new blood city.

After the mother and son disappeared from the room, all the sirens in the hospital cried. Many buildings in Xin Lu were transformed.

“It looks like something was installed in Ah Fang. Once it is destroyed or if it is taken out of the hospital, Immortal Pharma will be notified.”

Ah Fang was way more important to Immortal Pharma than Gao Ming was.

“I was like a wild plant. No one other than Xuan Wen cares about me.” As a temporary candidate who was added at the last minute, Gao Ming was a sad accident.

“It’s time to find Tang Ling. Hopefully, No. 2 is trapped in her heart.” Gao Ming combined Xia Yang’s memory with the map of the female employee. He left the hospital and disappeared into the shadows.

…

Xuan Wen looked at the drawer filled with memory chips. She slowly picked up the last dream device. Just as she planned to put it on, the siren screamed. The codes from her band stated that Ah Fang had disappeared.

“I knew this would happen when he regained his memory.”

Xuan Wen carefully inserted the chips into the helmet. A normal person should only take one chip. Different chips belonged to different people. Too many memory chips could lead to a split personality. The device gave a red warning. However, Xuan Wen didn’t stop. She repeated the process until the last chip was inserted.

“How did he survive so many death memories?”

With a flip of the switch, a flash of spark appeared. All the devices in the abandoned surgical theatre were fried. Fire burned. In the fire, Xuan Wen hugged herself painfully. She resisted until the last moment to unleash a scarring scream.

Her perfect face twisted in the flames. She tried to yank off the dream device many times, but her lingering rationality stopped her.

This process lasted for a long time. The hospital was thrown into chaos. Xuan Wen finally opened her eyes. Her brain was filled with many voices and human faces. She couldn’t even control her body. She fell and crawled. She took a long time to cover a very short distance.

“No one will know those death memories anymore. They will be our shared secrets.”

Xuan Wen destroyed the failed chips. She didn’t miss anything. When she was done, she was almost driven mad by the memories in her brain.

She held the wall and moved towards the elevator. Inside the elevator, she collapsed.

“Hey!” Liu Yi, who was inside the same cabin, was looking at the panel. She was searching for Gao Ming. Suddenly the elevator stopped on a floor that was not recorded on the panel.

Before she could react, a pretty woman fell before her.

She quickly rushed to help her. After she saw her face, Liu Yi remembered, “You’re Gao Ming’s main physician. Your name is Xuan Wen.”

Xuan Wen’s body was burned. Her eyes and ears bled. Liu Yi was shocked by Xuan Wen’s horrible state. “What happened? Do you need a doctor?”

However… If Gao Ming came to the hospital for Xuan Wen and Xuan Wen ended up like this… Their relationship had to be more complicated than just doctor and patient, right?
