Ghost Story Game Designer

Chapter 676: The Factory that Produces Beautiful Dreams

Gao Ming had previously thought that it was unbelievable that Uncle Wang Jie had created the dream ghost. But now that he saw that this dream ghost might be related to himself, his expression became very complicated.

The investigation file later describes in detail how the abnormal birthday wishing incident got out of control step by step. The community where the anomaly first occurred was not recorded in the file, and the investigation bureau could not figure it out. They realized that the abnormal incident had spread over a large area only after they found that many people in the old city area inexplicably began to celebrate their birthdays at midnight.

The best time to deal with the situation was missed, and because the old town was the territory of ghost story players, the Investigation Bureau's response was very passive. They focused their main energy on dealing with the ghost story players at the time.

After the Investigation Bureau and the ghost story players reached a preliminary cooperation agreement, the abnormal birthday wish incident spread to the south city quietly. The children of Wang Jie's uncle were ordered to solve the abnormal incident, but no one expected that this abnormal incident was extremely difficult and normal means could not eliminate it at all.

More and more people in South City began to make wishes at midnight. All kinds of bizarre wishes came together, and eventually a ghost that no one had ever seen was born in this abnormal event.

It appears because of people's wishes and exists in human greed, desire, and expectation. If you want to make it disappear, you must kill all the people who have made a wish.

What made the Nancheng Investigation Bureau most embarrassed was that an insider revealed that the child of Wang Jie's uncle seemed to have made a wish as well.

Perhaps to protect his children, or perhaps out of deeper considerations, Uncle Wang Jie made a crazy decision. He wanted the Wang family to have their own dream ghost.

In the process of dealing with Guiyuan, they discovered that this ghost born in a wish could not only communicate with the living, but also did not like killing and never took people's lives directly. This gave Uncle Wang Jie hope.

If it is impossible to destroy it, then try to contact it. Wang Jie's uncle began to secretly mobilize resources in South City to support Guiyuan.

He blocked the news, and the outside world thought that Wang Jie's uncle was doing his best to fight against ghosts and repair the mess left by his son.

The turning point happened on the day Gao Ming left the vast sea. The timing was very coincidental. Just after Gao Ming entered the tunnel and left the vast sea, the originally docile Guiyuan revealed another side of himself. His various abilities increased rapidly, and the pollution source index skyrocketed!
There seems to be a mysterious force pushing people forward. When a person leaves the vast tomb of the vast sea and escapes the shackles of fate, his original destiny will be borne by another person or a ghost.

During the time when Gao Ming left Hanhai, the power of the ghost that existed in the wishes of the living was increasing every day. The people around Uncle Wang Jie began to feel scared. Many members of the Wang family went to the old man to complain. The situation in Nancheng became unstable. For example, ambitious guys like Wang Jie showed their fangs, and some began to collude with outsiders, wanting to take the opportunity to destroy Uncle's family.

The uncle was forced into a desperate situation and had no choice. If he gave in, he would lose everything. If he continued to fight, he might be able to get a chance of survival.

Wang Jie's uncle did not admit that his decision was wrong, and began to offer more crazily sacrifices to the strange wishes. Not only did he use living people to make wishes, they also entered the shadow world, collected clay statues everywhere, and let the remaining gods make a wish to a ghost.

The old man has always known what Uncle Wang Jie was doing. He did not stop him because he also coveted Meng Gui's power. In such a chaotic situation, only Meng Gui could protect the Wang family. However, the resistance is too great now and the voices of opposition can no longer be suppressed.

Old Master Wang wanted his uncle to calm the public anger. Uncle Wang Jie, desperate, led all the security personnel of the South City Investigation Branch who had mastered the power of ghosts to go deep into the shadow world without caring about the lives of his men. They collected a large number of curses and idols. But if these were all there, it was not enough. What really made Guiyuan take the last step was the residual consciousness of the Vast Sea Blood City.

Uncle Wang Jie made an astonishing discovery in the shadow world. The document did not mention it specifically, but only roughly recorded that the remaining consciousness of the Vast Sea Blood City made a wish to the evil wish.

"Out of a team of more than 300 people, only 27 came back alive. They paid such a huge price just to help a ghost break through. Do you think my uncle is suitable to take over the old man's position?" Wang Jie saw Gao Ming had turned to the last page and asked, "My uncle is elegant and easy-going, and has a high prestige. But such a person, in order to maintain his position, let hundreds of people die in the shadow world. Who do you think is more cruel, me or him?"

After closing the document, Gao Ming did not answer Wang Jie's question. He glanced at the clock in the car and asked, "How long will it take to arrive?"

"It's better to lure it out than to look for Guiyuan. I'm taking you to your uncle's 'factory'." Wang Jie seemed to be intentionally showing these to Gao Ming. He didn't need Gao Ming to stand on his side completely. He just hoped that Gao Ming could see his uncle's true face and not side with him.

Old classmates who once lived in the same dormitory began to intrigue against each other as they grew up.

Half an hour later, Wang Jie sent Gao Ming to a player factory in South City. The factory covers a large area and produces various toys, souvenirs, and gift boxes. This should have been a place to produce happiness, but it has been transformed into a large prison.

A high wall was built around the factory, and workers in gray uniforms patrolled the area 24 hours a day.

"Those people in gray are here to help my uncle. He has a good reputation in South City. After the disaster, he immediately won the hearts and minds of many victims and gained their trust." Before Wang Jie had even parked his car, someone came over. He honked the horn twice impatiently, rolled down the window and shouted outside, "See who I am? Don't force me to just crash into it!"

Wang Jie is not just talking about being arrogant and looking down on others, he really dares to do so in Nancheng.

The staff did not dare to stop them and could only call for help. Wang Jie took Gao Ming out of the car and waved to a team leader who had been following behind them. The three of them entered the heavily guarded toy factory through the main gate.

Safety rules were written on the walls painted with pink cartoon characters. There was an unpleasant smell of plastic in the air. All the factory buildings were divided into small rooms based on family units. There were two black and white boxes at the door of each room. The white box contained various toys and gifts, and the black box contained cursed dolls, clay fragments, hair, nails and some blood-stained household garbage.

When you get close to those rooms, you can hear all kinds of laughter, from adults as well as children. It seems that life here is free of worries and everything is so beautiful.

"My uncle has placed many refugees here and asked them to make different wishes every night until they are drained dry and become crazy and foolish."
