“gao yun? the 51st student from class 13?” the kind gao ming thought quickly, “is he our classmate?”

“this name is very familiar to me. we should know him, but i can’t remember.” the normal gao ming shook his head. the old speakers had bad quality. the broadcast was intermittent and cut off often.

the leader of team one walked to the two. he was serious. “gao yun suddenly appeared at han de private school. all information about him has been destroyed by situ an. this man covered the entire east city in tragedy using his own power. the investigation centre had no choice but to retreat from the east city.”

“then, who is stronger between him and the complete version of me?” the kind gao ming was purely curious.

“how can i put this? both of you are thorns in the headquarters’ side. not one is worse than the other,” the man’s eyes stayed on the speaker. “i overestimated myself. i thought i was on your level. but i’m completely helpless inside here. gao yun, however, manages to find the broadcast room and has broken some of the gods’ rules.”

“don’t give up.” the kind gao ming comforted him. “look at us. we’re normal people now. our memories are scattered. our situation is worse than yours.”

“you came in alone and managed to tussle with two gods. it’s a miracle that you’re still alive...” the man didn’t wish to continue. “let’s listen to the broadcast.”no?v(el)b\\jnn

no one knew how gao yun did it. while most people were losing their memories, he was not only unaffected, but he also managed to locate the building’s broadcast system. the static became sharper. the old wires could burn at any time, so gao yun spoke fast. he clued everyone in quickly.

“one, no matter what you’ve forgotten, hide your present well. that is the most important thing in your life.

“two, every room has a wall clock. as time passes, you’ll forget more things until you lose yourself and become gods’ accomplice.

“three, hiding in the room is suicide. with each passing hour, your hunger will double. have you wondered where are the original tenants of the two neighbourhoods?

“four, gods are not invincible. you are still alive not because of gods’ clemency but because gods doesn’t have the power to deal with all of you.

the investigation centre set up two venues for this anomaly. one was in the east city, and the other was in the old city. they were traps meant for different people. however, gao ming and gao yun both had their own plans. as more and more people gathered on the third floor, the leader of team one became worried. if they stayed there for too long, the ghosts might come over! the ugly ghost would get stronger as it ate more people.

“why is there no one from the investigation centre?” the leader of team one frowned.

footsteps came from the corridors. more people entered the lobby. people were alert around each other as they waited for gao yun to appear. about ten seconds later, doctor lee suddenly waved his hands and shouted, “fan li!”

on the other side, fan li and a young man who was wrapped in clothes walked out of the safety corridor. fan li didn’t respond to doctor lee, probably because he didn’t hear him.

behind the two was a woman wearing the red student council badge. she stood before a high school student, studying everyone coldly.

“the badge of the student council?!” the leader of team one furrowed his brows further. “isn’t that liu yi from class 13?”

“liu yi? where?” both the kind and normal gao mings looked across the lobby. liu yi looked professional and sharp in her suit. she was already pretty in high school. however, other than the narcissistic qian junran, no one dared to confess to her.

“it’s really her.” the kind gao ming looked happy. “she is as pretty as she was in high school.”

“the person behind her...” the normal gao ming couldn’t see clearly, “is he wearing our school uniform?”

the lobby’s lights went out and came back on. a light scent of blood floated over from the neighbouring building. soon, there were heavy footsteps. yuan hui walked over from the corridor that connected to that building while dragging a dead body in his blood-drenched uniform.

“gao yun, is it? the third target has appeared.”
