Horror Game Designer-Chapter 449: This World is For You

“Sir Gao, what are you doing?” Wei Tian aimed the iron stick at Gao Ming, “Let go of my students!”

“I mean no harm. What I’m doing now is to help them unless you also want to stay here forever,” Gao Ming pondered various possibilities. He felt like he had to rely on these outsiders to leave this place. A tunnel shrouded in the black mist, the bus with students, the tragedy in cycle… Gao Ming felt that the appearance of these outsiders was not a coincidence. It might involve another conspiracy, like Class 13, that occurred many years ago.

“No matter what happened, we have the right to know the truth. How much longer can you stop us?” Chen Jing held Shen Tuxiao’s hand. He looked determined, ready to accept everything.

Gao Ming stopped insisting. “You’re right. I have no right to intervene in other people’s fate.”

Shen Tuxiao coughed. She didn’t blame Gao Ming. She pointed at her heart. “After accepting that call, something was triggered in my brain and heart. I could see information about myself. I saw the stats that Mr Gao mentioned earlier.” Once she said that, everyone’s expression shifted. Chen Jing and Lee Wen were even more certain that Gao Ming was an NPC in the game, an existence to promote the plot.

Gao Ming instead thought of Xia Yang. Xia Yang was the one who suggested these stats. In one of the future, he became the leader of the horror game players and perfected the rules.

“It is Xia Yang’s idea, but it has appeared in the hearts of the outsiders. This means that everything has been predestined! Xia Yang’s plans and rules for the horror game players are all fate’s arrangements!”

Fate must have a close connection to the outsiders. The reason fate turned Han Hai into its current situation was to present the outsiders with a unique death game. However, what was the point?

As he scanned the students, Gao Ming had a guess. Perhaps the point was on the students. The voice on the phone told Shen Tuxiao that Gao Ming and everyone in Han Hai were ghosts. That meant that, at least for the voice, there was an empirical difference between the outsiders and the residents of Han Hai. To push this theory further, these outsiders might be the real humans.

Gao Ming narrowed his eyes to hide a dangerous glint. He considered another issue. The students of Class 13 had an accident inside the tunnel many years ago, and after that, the incidents happened. So… Were they humans or ghosts?

“The investigation centre has been trying to capture the people from Class 13. Back then, Situ An also wanted to capture everyone from Class 13. Do they know the secrets of Class 13? Is Class 13 the first batch of outsiders? Is that why Lu Zang chose us as the knives to kill fate?”

Gao Ming’s brain was a mess. He needed to parse a lot of information. His eyes moved to the students. Was he the same as them many years ago? However, he accidentally entered Han Hai after the accident…

Chen Jing was nervous about being stared at by Gao Ming. He forced himself to calm down. He mimicked Shen Tuxiao to pick up the phone but he didn’t hear anything.

“Is the phone ineffective now? Do I need to trigger something new?”

The sound of dripping water came from the adjacent room. The group shared a look and ran into the corridor. The original lock was open. Chen Jing was the first to enter the room. He followed the sound and entered the bathroom. The bathtub was filled with water. A schoolbag sat at the bottom of the tub. The bag was bulging with items. It sat there, waiting for someone to put it up.

“Don’t go near it!” Gao Ming was assaulted by heart palpitations. He wanted to stop Chen Jing, but it was already too late. Chen Jing reached his hand towards the tub. When his fingertips touched the water's surface, stains appeared in the clear water. His body tipped towards the tub uncontrollably. He felt like something had grabbed his arm. The thing inside the bag was not an object but another arm?!

“Sav…”

The tub was not huge, but Chen Jing felt like he had fallen into a deep pool. His limbs couldn’t reach the edges of the tub. He was powerless to struggle.

“How rebellious.”

The black mist thickened. Chen Jing’s figure blurred. Chen Jing sunk into the tub almost instantly. Thankfully, Gao Ming had superhuman reaction speed. He grabbed Chen Jing by his neck. Gao Ming’s way of saving people was special. He couldn’t borrow the power of the God of Flesh and Blood, so he could only use his own way to stop death. Gao Ming bet that the unknown thing in the mist cared about these outsiders the most, so he grabbed Chen Jing’s neck directly. Chen Jing, who almost died from asphyxiation, heard something in the water. The voice flowed into his mouth and nose with the water.

“Sav…”

The fear of death fell on him like a mountain. Chen Jing didn’t have time to hear the voice. He tried to reach up. Suddenly, he felt the pressure on his body let go. Then, Gao Ming hauled him out of the tub.

He collapsed on the ground and vomited out the dirty water. He was surprised. If he almost drowned, why were there deep prints around his neck?

“The thing inside the black mist doesn’t want the outsiders to die?!” Gao Ming was shocked. The force that bound around Chen Jing disappeared. The other party didn’t want to kill Chen Jing but wanted to send him somewhere else.

Gao Ming’s heart palpitation disappeared. He hauled the schoolbag out. The bathtub had returned to normal.

“Thank you…” After being saved, Chen Jing fully trusted Gao Ming.

“That is Huang Ge’s bag! I recognise this keychain on his bag!” Shen Tuxiao checked the bag. “Huang Ge is our class’ language representative. He’s our teacher’s favourite student. However, he likes to read various horror stories in private. He is the bravest among the disappeared students.”

“Ignore Huang Ge for now.” Chen Jing climbed up from the ground slowly. He closed his eyes. “There was a voice in the water. It told me certain things. The gist is similar to what Shen Tuxiao heard on the phone, but…”

“But what?” Shen Tuxiao asked anxiously.

“It gave me another mission. It told me to face my heart and kill someone…” Chen Jing’s voice dwindled as he looked at Gao Ming, who held the school bag.
