chapter 361: the first hour

the east city security members under jing tuoshen, the security teams from xin lu led by wan jie, the many horror game players, gao yun’s student councils and the many versions of gao ming. all the key players at han hai had gathered in the two neighbourhoods. even gods couldn’t predict the outcome from so many factors.

these security members and horror game players were elites among elites. they were trained by death. even though they had lost part of their memories and powers, they were not easy to deal with. if the two gods focused their power on suppressing gao ming, gao ming had no chance to escape. however, the other forces had torn this plan wide open. more and more people at everlasting life apartments were woken up by the painter gao ming. however, most of them stayed inside their rooms and observed through the peepholes. as time passed, the tenants’ memories were affected. this scary feeling prompted them to try to save themselves. the painter gao ming was physically weaker than zuo jun. after running for a few minutes, he couldn’t continue anymore. “if zuo jun catches up to me, i’ll die, and he’ll get the figurine...” his paintbrush was like a carving knife. the painter gao ming used the paint he made from his blood and blotted out the figurine’s eyes. at that moment, all the drawings on the figurine came alive. they crawled into the mud figurine like crazy. a web of blood vessels surfaced on the figurine. the painter gao ming did everything to pour the curses into the figurine’s heart.

“my paintings are my life and my consciousness. gao ming united with me, and now you’ll unite with me too! haha!” the painter gao ming laughed madly. he made a decision. at the next corner, he lobbed the figurine at zuo jun’s face!

the racing zuo jun grabbed the figurine subconsciously. instantly, he felt something was wrong. he felt something staring daggers at his back. he turned and realised the grandmother was glaring at him. the grandmother didn’t show gao ming any preferential treatment. she targeted anyone who had the figurine. zuo jun knew the figurine was important, but holding it meant losing his life. the special death portrait in his arm chewed on his flesh. compared to the figurine, gao ming was more important to the investigation centre!

in a few breaths, zuo jun slowed down. he aimed the figurine away from him and gao ming and made a big toss!

“the old lady’s target is the mud figurine. i can’t deal with her right now. i’ll use this to distract her. after i kill gao ming, i’ll gather more people to kill her!” the mud figurine flew past the grandmother like a cannon. she was anxious that her eyes were bloodshot. she was worried that the figurine would be damaged.

wan jie, who tailed them, narrowed his eyes. he didn’t expect his fortune to turn so suddenly. the figurine landed and rolled towards him. wan jie jumped out of the shadow. as he picked up the figurine, he shouted at the blood band, “everyone gather at my location!”

“zou yin, what’s wrong with you?” the leader of security team two was a woman of great proportions. she was very tall, but her whole body was shrouded in a black cloth. not one inch of her skin was exposed.

for these people, wan jie’s words were absolute orders. they needed to obey wan jie if they wanted to live. those who didn’t reply meant that they didn’t want to live anymore.

“is this place that dangerous?” a team 2 member shivered.

“the power of the ghosts here is related to memory. you don’t feel anything because of my power.” the team captain grabbed the black cloth around her arm. her body was alluring. even the shroud couldn’t hide her good figure. she tore off the black cloth. her team members looked at her in curiosity. instead of fair skin, they saw scary scars and wrinkles.

“i can trade my lifespan to undo negative influences. however, i am ageing rapidly here. the whole building is under some kind of rules. if you’re not careful, you’ll lose your memories and your selves.”

the woman wrapped her hand back. she entered the kitchen to retrieve a red box. “the presents are our deepest secrets. i hope we can help each other remember our secrets.”

the woman used the lighter to burn the box into ashes. the minute hand on the clock finished a circle.

all the clocks inside the room emitted a strange sound. when the tenants turned to look at the clocks, they saw their reflections on the surface of the clocks.no?v(el)b\\jnn
