Chapter 395: It''s Open?

Perhaps it was to match the character better. Xuan Wen stopped struggling. She allowed Gao Ming to pull her into the dark corridor. Building Three had no lights on. Eerieness and strangeness pervaded the place. Other than the two’s heartbeats, there was only silence. However, this oppressing atmosphere felt strangely intimate.

It didn’t matter whether the woman was the real Xuan Wen or not. Gao Ming didn’t choose to suspect her. He willingly revealed the fact that he had been tricked by the God of the Past. Gao Ming was playing an open card. If the other party was the real Xuan Wen, it didn’t matter if he told her the truth; If she was not, then she must be the killer. She would have already known everything, so it didn’t matter if he told her the truth. Gao Ming’s openness discomfited Xuan Wen. The man didn’t seem to suspect her and showed absolute trust towards her.

People who participated in the selection were all cunning and liked to hide the scars deep inside their hearts. The more they did so, the greater the damage they would suffer while they were inside Prosperity Neighbourhood. This was because their wounds would be rudely torn open by the God of the Future. Their fear would be made into reality. However, Gao Ming was an outlier. He didn’t mind sharing his pain. In fact, he shared his despair freely.@@@@

“I didn’t think you’d come here. But, I feel like this is also within my expectation of you.” Gao Ming held Xuan Wen’s hand. He had reconciled with all the versions of his past at Everlasting Life Apartments. All the death memories became fuel for his power. All his deaths featured Xuan Wen. It didn’t seem like he had known Xuan Wen for long, but from Gao Ming’s perspective, they had known each other for generations already. Every generation’s story was harrowing and heart-wrenching. Tragedy was by their side. They were never lovers, but they had been through hell together.

Gao Ming knew Xuan Wen’s habits and shared her thoughts. He was the person closest to Xuan Wen in this world. After sharing his experience, Gao Ming turned to Xuan Wen. He asked with concern, “What happened to you here?”

Gao Ming took away the proactivity just like that. Xuan Wen felt like she should say something. However, the God of the Future seemed to be worried about something. Just as she opened her mouth, changes occurred inside the rooms that lined the corridor. Weak light streamed out of the gaps in the doors. Gao Ming instantly guarded Xuan Wen behind him. He slowly pushed one of the doors open.

Someone seemed to have performed a bloody experiment in the living room. The subject was placed on the glass table. His body was practically broken. It was hard to imagine the torture the person had been through.

“Wang Jie, is it?” Gao Ming noticed the bloody shoe prints on the ground. They were from the combat boots worn by all the members of the investigation centres. The roommate of three years betrayed Gao Ming and killed their classmate. Everything was heading towards the worst future, but Xuan Wen couldn’t read any emotional fluctuations in Gao Ming.

The thing Gao Ming didn’t want to see the most was happening. Xuan Wen finally had a thin smile on her face.

The exploration continued. When they reached the room at the end of the fifth-floor corridor, Xuan Wen hesitated for a quick moment. Gao Ming caught it. He casually opened the door to Room 0909.

The room was very clean. There was a death portrait of a wife and husband on the wall. Their plaques and urns were placed on the ceremonial table.

“The Feng Shui at Prosperity Neighbourhood is very unique. Many rich people will place their elders’ urns here, hoping that they will bless their future generations.” Xuan Wen urged. “This kind of room is very unholy. It’s meant for the dead. We should leave.”

“But people have been cleaning and living here.” Gao Ming touched the bowls of fruits on the table and the traces of incense. “Plus, this couple looks so young. At most, they are forty. In that case, their children should be younger than me. Are young people this superstitious these days?”

Gao Ming lit three incense sticks and walked around the room. Xuan Wen didn’t stop him. She stared at the clock on the wall, and her eyes slowly turned red. РaNO??ΒЕ?s?

“This couple appears to have a daughter.” Gao Ming found a picture book on the bedroom bed. The owner had to hold it to fall asleep.
