Chapter 289: Escape

“Reinforcement?” When the patients inside the hospital saw the security members, they couldn’t react instantly. Some of the lunatics cheered joyfully, shouting that they had been saved. The security members, in their clear-cut uniforms, cut through the meat walls and chased away the shadow. However, they didn't bring light.

“Finally, you’ve come! I’ve imagined this so many times already. Finally, someone will save us from this demonic lair!” Most patients were trapped there by Lu Zang and Situ An. They were desperate for freedom. They were unwilling to give up, but due to their immense potential, Situ An transformed them into toys and placed them at home.

“Save you?” The Team 3 Leader threw the wall aside. His eyes shone with complications. The patients had been corrupted by shadow. They were not humans or ghosts. The investigation centre had a clear rule that these creatures had to be exterminated to prevent the corruption from spreading.

A pale paper doll appeared behind a patient. The paper doll’s arm easily poked through the patient’s chest. Like a naughty pet, it swallowed the patient’s heart. With blood on its lips, the paper doll floated on the wind to a thin elder.

The hand with the blood band raised. A stack of paper money fluttered in the air. The elder was the leader of Team Four. He looked like a kind, friendly elder but was extremely cruel. After lighting three joss sticks, the elder tossed out more paper dolls from his sleeves.

The security members entered through the opening. They were the strongest trump cards cultivated by the headquarters.

The patients were surrounded by security members and the awakened divine figurines. If they knew the outside world was so despairing, they’d stay as toys.

“Li San Hospital has become the lair of demons. It is a nail the shadow world has pinned into the real world. We need to level this place.” Team Leader One silently appeared beside Team Leader Three. He adjusted his watch, “It looks like we’re going to work overtime.”

“So many figurines are hidden here. Do these people know about the secrets of the taboo game?” The Leader of Team 2 was fully covered. She followed Wan Jie. “The shadow world is a dead world where the power of the dead has percolated. Most of the power is collected on the divine corpses, while the others are hidden in the scattered figurines. The owner of the hospital must have a big ambition to have collected so many figurines.”

“He must have done this to revive a certain God. Look at the source of the shadow.” The Leader of Team One pointed at the lake centre. All the chaos originated from there. Everyone turned their eyes. Their gazes were fixated on the God of Flesh and Blood. The divine ghost with eight arms stood in the middle of all the figurines like all the figurines were there to revive him.

“The picture comparison is successful. Based on the information sent by Jing Tuoshen, this monster once appeared at Han De Private School. The level 4 Anomaly at the school appears to be related to it!” The vice leader of Team Eight wore spectacles. His body was protected by layers of protective clothes. He was responsible for the logistics. Many security members’ eyes reddened.

“That is the source of the chaos in Han Hai.” The Leader of team 3 pressed on the coffin. He requested permission to attack from Wan Jie. The other team leaders turned to Wan Jie.

With his eyes on the God of Flesh and Blood, a strange talisman in Wan Jie’s eyes. Soon, the talisman morphed into Gao Ming’s face.

“Found it.” Wan Jie said severely, “There is a living human standing on the shoulder of the monster. We have to catch him alive. Other than him, the others have to be eliminated!”

Hearing that, the leader of Team One was startled. “Some of the patients can be used. They are rational and can be communicated with.”

Wan Jie said nothing but shot a look at the man. The leader of Team One lowered his head and walked towards the patients and the broken mud figurines. The ghost tattoo crawled up his spine. The leader of Team One undid the first button of his shirt. With him as the centre, the shadow and death were washed back. The shadow of an Unmentionable surfaced on his back. The Leader of Team One was a legend in the taboo game. He found a watch that could only read the time backwards on an altar. The horror of an Unmentionable was hidden in that watch. The other security members avoided the leader of Team One. With the leader of Team Three as the head, they formed a formation and slowly pushed forward.

“Open the coffin!” The members of Team Three dripped their blood into the coffin brought by their team leader. A ghost tattoo appeared on the coffin. The leader pushed open the lid to reveal a plain red dress lying inside. The dress used to be white, but it had turned red after being soaked in blood for so long. The leader of Team Three guarded the coffin. The members who had fed their blood to the coffin had their eyes changed. They appeared to be suffering some collective trauma.

Using their physical bodies to sustain evil and then using that extreme evil to resist the shadow was how the Han Hai security members protected the city.

The few teams worked together perfectly and revealed no weaknesses.

The patients that approached them perished instantly. The leader of Team One and the members of Team Three, who were dominated by hatred, were like two sharp lances. In a few minutes, they had reached the edge of the black lake.

“Gao Ming, this is not good. They are coming for you.” Xuan Wen stood behind the God of Flesh and Blood.

“The God of Flesh and Blood requires time to control the bloodred city. I need to figure out a way to have them fight the divine figurines.” Gao Ming narrowed his eyes. His mind was connected to Xia Yang, who was trapped inside the wall. Both of them stared at the opening in the wall made by the security members. “Now is not the time to run.”

The leader of Team Eight had compiled all the information about Gao Ming. Wan Jie memorised everything after he scanned them.

Through the black lake that was made from shadows, Wan Jie took out the order given by the headquarters. “Gao Ming, we suspect you are involved in many anomalies in Han Hai. You sacrifice the citizens in the hopes of reviving the divine ghost to overturn Han Hai. Now, Han Hai Headquarters has officially released the order to detain you.”

“Did you misunderstand something?” Sitting on the God of Flesh and Blood’s shoulder, Gao Ming scoffed at Wan Jie. However, he still replied to the man politely, “I have done none of that. Everything I do, I do because I am the divine ghost!”

The divine figurines opened their eyes. Gao Ming appeared to be on the same side as them. Even his arrogant expression mimicked theirs.
