Fan Li didn’t like to use his brain, but he was often forced by the anomalies to do so. Fan Li rubbed his head and asked cautiously, “Gao Ming... Do you still remember me?”

The door didn’t fully open. Gao Ming, in his high school uniform, looked at Fan Li with caution. He didn’t say anything, but he looked at Fan Li as if he were a stranger.

“I know you have forgotten many things, but you’re in a lot of danger now. The unknown horror might come at any moment,” Fan Li tried to make himself approachable, but Gao Ming looked at him like he was crazy. “Can I come in? I feel the horror approaching. It’s too dangerous out here.” Fan Li smiled bitterly. He had imagined many scenarios, but this was not one of his predictions.

Gao Ming was about to close the door, and Fan Li became anxious. He squeezed his fingers through the gap despite the fact that it might hurt him.

“I’m not lying to you! You’ve forgotten many things! You’ve saved my life, and I’m here to save yours!” Fan Li was unwilling to give up. “My name is Fan Li. Think about it. You said that I was a trustworthy person and I had potential that I didn’t even know about.”

Gao Ming stared at Fan Li’s face. Seeing how tightly Fan Li was holding the door, he couldn’t help but say, “Tell me what I’ve forgotten.”

“The anomalies are exploding, and horror stories are everywhere in Han Hai. You created Dead Water Forum and led the horror game players to fight the ghosts!” Fan Li said with excitement. Confusion and suspicion slowly faded from Gao Ming’s eyes.

“I’ve confirmed that you are indeed crazy.”

Fan Li scratched his other arm. Wounds appeared instantly. The fresh blood emitted a strange meat fragrance. “This is the blood you’ve fed me. You should be able to sense the bond between us.” Gao Ming frowned deeply. His heart pounded for no reason. However, it soon returned to normal. Everything was trying its best to change him. The lights in the corridor flickered. The moment they went out, something rapidly crawled over from down the corridor! It was a pile of rotten meat with many limbs!

“That bully has a driver sending him to and from school. I can’t find the chance to approach him. However, our class is going to an event outside of school tomorrow. I plan to tail them.” Gao Ming said casually, “I’m not going to take this lying down.”

“An out-of-school event tomorrow?” Fan Li picked up the diary and checked the date, “Is today July 14th?”

“Yes.”

“Why does time stop on this day for all of you? What is so special about this day?” Fan Li questioned. “Do the different rooms house different versions of yourself that have elected different choices in life?”

Some of the Gao Ming committed suicide, while others were evicted from school for fighting back against the bullies.

A flash crossed Fan Li’s eyes. He remembered the room at the end of the corridor. The door was covered in talismans. The talismans warded against the monsters.

“What choice has that Gao Ming made? Why is that door covered in talismans?”

Different choices lead to different paths in life. Fan Li had no idea why this was happening, but he was getting closer to the truth.
