CHAPTER 622: THIRTEEN

“Gao Ming?!” Brother Chong saw Gao Ming, who stood beside the God of Flesh and Blood. He couldn’t believe his eyes. He suspected this was Immortal Pharma’s trap.

“How can it be him?” The bearded man was just badmouthing Gao Ming. In the blink of an eye, his life was in his hands. The other players didn’t get it as well. They merely thought Gao Ming had a lot of secrets. No one anticipated him to take over Dream Break Town on his own.

“Boss, I remember you only wanted him to rescue our friend. Did you have a private deal with him?” The baldie thought he was clever, but he had no idea what was happening.

Brother Chong tried many methods, but he couldn’t wake up from the ‘illusion’. He forced himself to stay rational and tried to walk out of the shock as soon as possible. The next second, he saw Zhang Mingli, who had just recovered his body.

“Zhang Mingli!”

“Impossible! We only tasked him to look for him. He couldn’t have saved him from Immortal Pharma! We have tried doing that for years, but we have never succeeded!” A taboo player also thought this was an illusion. He slit his wrist and used his blood to form curses. “Immortal Pharma has stolen Dream’s remains. Their power is far beyond our expectations. I’ll stay behind. The rest of you need to leave!”

“Leave?” Gao Ming chuckled. “None of you is leaving.”

The players tensed up like they were facing a vast enemy. However, the reality slowly dawned on Zhang Mingli. Gao Ming didn’t lie to him. The fleshy tree connected this deep-level nightmare to the Death Building through the dresser. They were allies!

“This is ridiculous.” After some hesitations, Zhang Mingli slowly pulled back Dream Break Town’s curses. “You walked in like the greatest villain the world has ever seen, but you were here to save me? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

“Would you have believed me?” Gao Ming didn’t plan to explain things to the taboo game players. He sent them over to Zhang Mingli.

Holding the death portrait, Gao Ming sat before the God of Flesh and Blood, and his memory wound back to several days ago.

“That tunnel! The black mist has covered Han Hai. I took over a school bus filled with students. Attacked by many powerful ghosts, I reached the other side of the tunnel.”

The veins on his hands popped. Gao Ming didn’t forget any of the ghosts who tried to stop him. He carved their appearance in his heart. Malice and hatred grew. The God of Flesh and Blood intended to go after them, but Gao Ming prohibited him. “It’s not yet time.”

After the God of Flesh and Blood became a Dream Ghost, he gained many hidden tactics. In just a few minutes of interaction, Gao Ming was already stunned. The strength of the Dream Ghost couldn’t be described in words. They couldn’t be killed.

“Red Spectres are extreme madness. Dream Ghosts can easily ruin a Red Spectre by trapping them in a dream.” Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood looked at the red raincoat. As long as Gao Ming was willing, he could drag the red raincoat’s son out of her memory and use his power to trick her.

“The end of the Red Spectre is the cruellest destruction. In comparison, Xin Lu’s Unmentionables are more holistic in power. They aspire for power but also other things.”

Gao Ming combined the information he gleaned from Fu Shu and compared the God of Flesh and Blood and the Unmentionables. He saw there was a difference between them.

Everyone knew about the existence of Unmentionables, but no one dared to bring them up. In terms of pure strength, Dream Ghosts should be the weakest, but they have the most obscure and unfathomable power. They didn’t require altars or obsessions. They could easily manipulate the rules and turn the dream into reality. Everything could be swapped with a thought.

“Even the most extreme Red Spectre will not lose their heart. That is the source of their power and their biggest weakness. Destroying their hearts will destroy their obsessions. The Unmentionables possess many altars. Once the altars are taken over, they will be forgotten and fade into obsolete. Only Dream Ghosts are hidden among different dreams. They would never show themselves and attack through manipulation of nightmares.”

The only way Gao Ming could think of killing a Dream Ghost was to annihilate the bloodred city in which the Dream Ghost was based. It was to remove the threat from its foundation. However, based on what the God of Flesh and Blood did, even if the bloodred city was destroyed, they could manipulate the past and the future, hiding in a rift in time.

“Headmistress Yan Xizhi cares too much about the students. That is her weakness. She has never utilised a Dream Ghost’s full power.” Gao Ming was still thinking, but the God of Flesh and Blood couldn’t wait any longer. He kept showing off his new powers to Gao Ming. This strange behaviour caught Gao Ming’s attention. He stared at the divine figurine. The eight arms opened. Of the four faces, three of them had no expressions. Only Gong Xi’s face kept communicating with Gao Ming.

“Gong Xi looks anxious. He is worried that the other faces will turn on me. Is that why he’s been telling me everything the God of Flesh and Blood can do while he is still conscious?” The God of Flesh and Blood became a Dream Ghost due to Gao Ming’s deaths. The God of Flesh and Blood brought meaning to Gao Ming’s deaths. “Now, we are inseparable.” Gao Ming tried to think back to what happened in the tunnel. When he was about to leave the tunnel, a bloody chain bound around him and yanked him out of the tunnel. The chain was covered in sins. It was scarier than the torture room’s chains.

“The chain that saved me was red. It belonged to a Red Spectre! No. It should be scarier than a Red Spectre!” Gao Ming had no idea who saved him but he remembered the few ghosts who tried to stop him from leaving the tunnel.

“An eyeball in the black mist, an unknown monster that turned the east city’s Big Ghost into flower petals, a spider carrying a blood door, and the gravestone that appeared in the end. They seem to represent four different forces.”

Gao Ming recovered the blurry memory that was preserved by the God of Flesh and Blood. When he was pulled out of the tunnel, he heard certain things.

Thirteen, fate, Lu Zang, Ghost in the Grave, Reset everything…

Gao Ming didn’t have the qualifications to pursue the truth in the past. He was about to lose his life just to leave Han Hai. However, things changed after the God of Flesh and Blood became a Dream Ghost. He could defend himself against a real Unmentionable.
