After destroying the figurine of the past, Gao Ming not only found his true self but also stole the past’s partial faith.

Actually, on the bus to the past, Gao Ming’s soul perfectly aligned with the rules of the God of the Past. It was why the God of the Past didn’t want Gao Ming to die so easily. It wanted to convert Gao Ming into its own loyal disciple. Unfortunately, Gao Ming’s consciousness had reached a phase where fate couldn’t shake him anymore. It tried to split Gao Ming’s consciousness, but even when Gao Ming was separated into many personas, the God of the Past still failed to do anything to him. It was quite a helpless God.

Walking on the bloody path, Gao Ming studied every footprint. They were left behind by different versions of him. In the end, they burned their souls to light the final stretch for Gao Ming. Everything that happened was a real depiction of Gao Ming’s many deaths. Tiny sparks lit up the night sky.

“They are me, and I am them.”

The monsters that hid in the dark did not dare to approach. Gao Ming easily returned to Everlasting Apartment. He paid heavily for each step when he tried to leave, but it only took a minute when he walked the same way back.

“I’m surprised you’re still alive.” Gao Ming looked at the heavily-wounded Xia Yang and He Jing, who was playing dead. While the other Gao Mings used another method to reunite with the normal Gao Ming, the painter Gao Ming was still struggling. As the figurine was shattered, the power of the God of the Past on Gao Ming slowly disappeared. The painter Gao Ming’s face slowly morphed. He ultimately was not Gao Ming.

“Teacher Xia, I know what your goal is. Therefore, I let you out at the last moment before I was oppressed by God.” Gao Ming knelt beside Xia Yang in the school uniform. “I gave you a chance. If you were willing to burn your soul earlier, you might really be able to take over and become the new me.”

Xia Yang looked pitiful. His lips moved, and he cursed elegantly.

There was chaos inside the old apartment buildings. The monsters and outsiders were natural nemesis. There was enmity between the investigators and the horror game players. Even the East City Security Members and Xin Lu Security Members were fighting among themselves. Blood coloured the place red. The fire that started at the top floor started to spread downwards, forcing the people inside to run out.

Most of the ‘citizens’ chosen by the investigation centre had some support from mysterious forces. Liu Yi was an anomaly. She was alone and unreadable.

More blood appeared on the door. The divine patterns that represented the God of the Future overlapped each other. Gao Ming was also curious about what was hidden behind this door. The fire spread. A thudding sound came from the elevator well. As Gao Ming tried to open the Door of the Future, a pair of wrinkly hands slowly pried the elevator doors open on the first floor. The grandmother’s mottled face appeared inside the elevator well. She hung upside down with her limbs clawing the walls of the well. There was no humanity left in her eyes. After the figurine of the past was destroyed, her faith crumbled, and she became a monster who only knew how to kill.

“Her existence is to detain the flesh Gao Ming and the mud figurine. Now that both of them are gone, why is she still here?”

Sensing her eyes on him, Gao Ming summoned Fan Li and the rest and left Everlasting Life Apartments. The grandmother didn’t give chase. She howled. She became less and less like a human. Soon, the monster called Future appeared on the first floor. It wandered around the Door of the Future. The blurry face became clearer.

After the Past died, the Future finally arrived.

“Gao Ming, shouldn’t we take this chance to escape?” Fan Li carried the dying Xia Yang, “Your friend really needs medical attention.”

“No need. I trust that he’ll survive.” Gao Ming leapt over the fence and officially entered Prosperity Neighbourhood.

“Can trust heal wounds?” Fan Li and Doctor Lee shook their heads helplessly. There were a lot of investigators and players following them. Everlasting Life Apartments were done for. Compared to the grandmother, it was clearly safer to follow Gao Ming’s group. R?A?ΝO??Β?S
