“I died a long time ago?!” Gao Ming’s smile froze. He was about to speak when a lot of thoughts entered his mind. He died many times already, and each death was a restart. He didn’t know how to answer.

“What if I’m alive? What if I’m dead? The important thing is I’m here.” The Blood City tattoo on Gao Ming’s body was blinding, “I’ve returned with them.”

Fu Shu stretched his neck. “You couldn’t have returned. That city is forgotten deep inside the black mist and guarded by Unmentionables.”

“Why wouldn’t you believe what you see?” Gao Ming shook his head. He asked directly, “What happened in Han Hai back then? Why would you say that the place was repeatedly cleansed?”

“I only know that there were thirteen bloodred cities in the black mist. Han Hai was destroyed by the other twelve cities. I don’t know the reason why. I understand that the reason behind it is caused by one person.” Fu Shu couldn’t remember this person’s name. He was so anxious that he almost bit his lips. “He was the real saviour of Xin Lu. He wanted to have Xin Lu move closer to Han Hai to create a new world where humans and ghosts could exist peacefully. Unfortunately, he never returned after venturing deep into the black mist. Han Hai Project changed after that.”

Gao Ming had heard about this saviour from many people, but no one remembered his name.

“A world where ghosts and humans exist peacefully? What a beautiful and naive concept.” Gao Ming thought back to his history. Coexistence was impossible. A fragile balance would be reached after an intense massacre.

“You don’t appear to agree with the saviour.” Zhang Mingli had been observing Gao Ming. He wanted to know what kind of person had obtained such great strength. From Gao Ming’s actions so far, he was very distinct from the world’s saviour. Their experience shaped them differently. The saviour’s actions could be predicted. Gao Ming was a ball of dark chaos.

“Regardless, for now, we are allies.” Gao Ming leaned on the fleshy chair. The world’s saviour would stand in the perspectives of Xin Lu’s residents. He’d make the decision to save all the humans in Xin Lu. That was not part of Gao Ming’s considerations. His memory was based in Han Hai, a city that was already dead.

“I have a rough plan in mind,” Gao Ming waved his hands. Bai Feng walked to Zhang Mingli and Fu Shu. “Fu Shu, I saved you from the Xi Residence. You are safe now. Do you prefer to stay here at Dream Break Town, or do you want to follow me back to Immortal Pharma to reclaim what was yours?”

Dream Break Town was already taken over by the fleshy tree. Staying there meant being incarcerated. Plus, the second choice offered by Gao Ming was very alluring to Fu Shu.

“Think about it.” Zhang Mingli knew how important Fu Shu was. The former world’s saviour told Fu Shu many secrets.

Fu Shu frowned as his eyes flitted between Zhang Mingli and Gao Ming. In the end, he struggled loose from Zhang Mingli, flopped to the ground and crawled forward stubbornly. Bai Feng picked up Fu Shu and walked towards Gao Ming.

“Very good.” Gao Ming reached his hand into the wound. He injected his blood into Fu Shu’s body. His tortured body slowly recovered. New limbs were regenerated.

“You’ve used his flesh and blood. There’s no return now.” Zhang Mingli shook his head and sighed. He used to be close friends with Fu Shu.

“He chose this path.” After Gao Ming grew new limbs for Fu Shu, he continued with his plan. “The changes here cannot be hidden for long. Before we’re discovered, I want to find out more about Project Han Hai.”

Because Zhang Mingli was around, Gao Ming didn’t voice his real thoughts. Han Hai was surrounded by the black mist, and many people and ghosts perished often. If there was a chance, he wanted to open a passage to bring hope to the residents of Han Hai. This action might unsettle the relative peace of Xin Lu, so Zhang Mingli and the taboo game players might not approve. As for whether it was right or wrong, it was a matter of perspective.

“I can help you!” Fu Shu lay on the ground. He hadn’t gotten used to his new limbs. He lifted his head. His eyes were bloodshot with a trace of stubbornness. “I did not participate in the Han Hai Project, but I know that after the extremely rare talented testers were modified in Dream Break Town, they would be sent to the highest confidential lab where the Han Hai Project was. After you leave this deep-level nightmare, you should receive a similar invitation. After all, the Han Hai Project always lacks human power. The higher-ups also value that place more than Dream Break Town.”

“It’s too risky.” Zhang Ding shook his head.

“What about adding this?” Fu Shu stumbled over to Gao Ming. He whispered into Gao Ming’s ear. “There is a valid reason why Immortal Pharma trapped me here. My grandfather is the owner of the taboo game. I have the highest assess afforded to me by the world’s saviour. If the company wants to research the items left behind by the saviours or study the Han Hai modified by the saviours, they will need me.”

“Pupils, fingerprints and even genetic codes can be copied. You have been trapped here for so long already. Can you still retain your assessment level?” Gao Ming gave Fu Shu another look.

Fu Shu didn’t go into details. He used his new hand to dig out his right eye. The strange thing was no blood leaked out of his eye socket. “The Dream Priest’s left eye and my right eye can help you avoid many troubles. However, do not let the people from Immortal Pharma discover them.”

Fu Shu’s eye formed a ring-like tattoo on Gao Ming’s hand. Compared to the Blood City tattoo, it was inconspicuous.

“You can use this eye to attempt to bypass all the places that require assessment rights in Immortal Pharma. Other than that, I don’t think you should enter Han Hai alone. You should get someone to accompany you, and I have the perfect candidate.” Fu Shu frowned in thought, “I don’t know his real name, but everyone calls him No. 2.”

“Do you know where he is?” Gao Ming had the God of Flesh and Blood create a new eyeball for Fu Shu. He touched the walkie-talkie in his pocket. It was unresponsive. No. 2 didn’t want to chat.

“Yes.” Fu Shu’s face was dark. “It was trapped in a special room. The room exists between the real and the fake. It is at the edge of absurdity and is connected to the darkest part of every heart.”

“Hold up.” Gao Ming felt like Fu Shu’s descriptions reminded him of a familiar spot. “Is No. 2 being hidden in my home?”
