Ghost Story Game Designer

Chapter 494 Communication Across Time

The bright red blood spread on the black and white newspaper, soaking each word and dyeing each report red.

When talking about what the boss was about to do, the toilet doctor's voice and expression changed. His originally funny face showed a hint of cruelty, and his eyes became dangerous.

Although he often spoke ill of the haunted house owner behind his back, the other person's figure was engraved on the altar deep in his heart.

"Then we must be cautious." Gao Ming's face was solemn. When he heard the toilet doctor mention the word Blood City just now, his eyes narrowed unconsciously, and he felt vaguely familiar with it.

"As a newcomer, you probably don't know how powerful the boss is. I may have followed the boss a long time ago." The toilet doctor said arrogantly, "It is precisely because of the trust that the boss gave me such an important task."

Gao Ming did not tell the toilet doctor the truth. Saving him was just part of the interview. His boss had just casually left him here and might have forgotten about him a long time ago. "Did you find out any other information?"

"The founder of the Magic City Lunatic Asylum once worked at Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. He chose to resign the year the taboo broke out. His boss suspected that he had taken something out of Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. It turned out that his boss's guess was correct." Doctor Toilet put away his smile: "Many years later, when people began to gradually forget about the taboo game, the Magic City Lunatic Asylum opened in the Xinhu Smart City. The boss here seemed to have hidden something in the asylum and used the haunted house as a cover to screen people who met the requirements."

"Filtered by haunted houses?"

"Yes, he needs to find some crazy people who can face their fears and dare to go deep into nightmares, but I don't know what to do specifically." The toilet doctor looked very professional, but the information he provided was very limited.

"That's all? Is this all the information you're looking for? What did you do in the haunted house for so long?" Gao Ming was a little surprised. He thought he could get the truth from the toilet doctor.

"I'm trapped here. The screening in the Magic City Lunatic Asylum is for living people. It's not convenient for me." The toilet doctor looked at Gao Ming suspiciously, as if he thought Gao Ming was asking a question he already knew the answer for. "I've given you a lot of hints. As for the final screening, you have to go deep into the hospital to look for it."

"Aren't you going with me?" Gao Ming looked at the somewhat embarrassed toilet doctor, and his filter for him was instantly shattered: "Forget it, I will come back as soon as possible to take you out."

Leaving the toilet cubicle, Gao Ming's mind was filled with what the toilet doctor had just said: "The scene after entering the dream of the Magic City Lunatic Asylum seems to be a restoration of a certain hospital. Is this dream containing the truth the one who founded the Magic City Lunatic Asylum? Or someone else's?"

As you walk through the corridor, the walls on both sides change from time to time. The deeper you go, the more terrifying it becomes. The originally translucent wall gradually becomes the same color as your skin. Hair grows on the ceiling, bent fingers can be seen at the corners, and new bones on the ground pierce the skin bit by bit.

"I've heard from tourists that the Magic City Lunatic Asylum is divided into two parts: body and soul. Am I still in the body area? How can I enter the soul area?" Gao Ming stopped and pressed his chest: "The secret room I entered in the dream looks like a brain. Is the soul hidden in the mind? Or in the heart?"

Running wildly along the flesh-and-blood corridor, Gao Ming saw countless horrific scenes and was chased by all kinds of strange and alienated ghosts. He did not choose to retreat. Instead, he relied on the physical instincts honed in nightmares and the will comparable to that of a god to move forward until he walked into a department that looked like a heart.

The moment he pushed open the door, Gao Ming was stunned. There was no medical equipment in this heart ward, but it was arranged like a classroom, with exactly 31 desks. "I've been here before." Gao Ming had accidentally entered a classroom on the second floor before he fell asleep. He didn't expect to enter a similar place after falling asleep.

"Yes, you have been here." A voice came from the drawer of desk number two. Gao Ming walked into the classroom and saw a broken FM walkie-talkie in the drawer.

"Hello, can you hear me?" Gao Ming took the walkie-talkie in his hand. He found that there was no battery installed in the walkie-talkie and the groove was full of blood stains.

"After so many years, you are the second person who can enter my heart." The voice on the intercom was very clear. Although he sounded young, his tone was full of vicissitudes of life.

"What should I call you? What exactly happened here?" Gao Ming was very confused.

There was silence on the other end of the intercom for a long time, until the sound of electricity faded, and then the other party spoke again: "A long time ago, they called me the core brain of the smart city. Even earlier, some people called me No. 2."

"Sorry, I just woke up from a coma and I don't understand what you are saying at all." Gao Ming put the intercom to his ear: "So are you a human? Or a machine?"

"I... am a kid in this bloody class. My brain was dug out and became a part of the intelligent brain. What do you think I am now?" The voice in the intercom was very calm. His personality was a bit like Gao Ming's, and he was not easily swayed by emotions.

"It doesn't matter. I want to know what happened in Xinhu many years ago?"

"Didn't the kid in the toilet tell you everything? Xin Hu's Unspeakable entered the deep world. After he left, those people he had saved overturned everything he left behind." The voice on the intercom was mocking: "My brain is forever sealed in darkness. If a tester hadn't betrayed Yongsheng Pharmaceuticals and secretly taken part of my will out of the company, I probably wouldn't be able to see you now."

"Is the experimenter who betrayed the Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals the founder of the Magic City Lunatic Asylum? You built this haunted house to screen out people who are desperate enough to carry the black box?" Gao Ming made his own speculation.

"The black box is not in Xinhu, and Yongsheng Pharmaceutical will never find the real black box." The voice on the intercom was smiling: "The passage to the deep world is destroyed, but the deepest part of the nightmare of the desperate is also connected to that world. I do this to cultivate people who can travel through nightmares. I want to find out what happened in the deep world!"

"Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals is also exploring the deep nightmare, and they have also created new brain games for it." Gao Ming raised his left hand, but the black communication bracelet did not appear here.

"Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals?" A sneer came from the intercom: "They are afraid. They are afraid that the night will fall, that the taboo will return, and that all the strange stories sealed in the archives will become true."

"Can I help you with something?" Gao Ming asked sincerely, "To be honest, I am very interested in the deep world you mentioned. Some time ago, I fell into a deep coma due to a car accident. During the long coma, I seemed to have entered another world."
