Things like death, fate, and tragedy kept circulating in this world. Gao Ming listened to Fu Shu and even suspected that what he experienced was a repetitious and false dream. Perhaps he did die in one of the cycles and everything else was a product of his imagination.
“No. 2 is hidden there. Apparently, that is also where Immortal Pharma’s darkest secrets are hidden.” Fu Shu didn’t notice Gao Ming’s conditions. With hatred for Immortal Pharma, he said darkly, “It’s hard to reach that room that exists between reality and falsehood, but I happen to know a path.”
“How?”
“You can find the only door at the edge of reality through the nightmare at the bottom of people’s hearts. To put it plainly, the path to that room is hidden in the dream of a selected few superiors at Immortal Pharma.” Fu Shu tried his best to rember, “I can’t pinpoint a specific person, but I can give you a list of candidates. They are Du Jing, No. 0, Lee Xinqian, Tang Ling and Wan Jie.
“Du Jing is my grandfather’s friend. She is also the known person with the longest lifespan at Xin Lu. No one knows for sure how long she has been alive. She is currently cooperating with an experint at a level five lab.
“No. 0 is more than just a number at Immortal Pharma. The forr world’s saviour had the number zero. After all the saviours entered the inner world, the number zero was taken. No one knows who the current zero is. The sad thing is that most people in the company still think that the current zero is the person who saved Xin Lu.
“As for Lee Xinqian,” Fu Shu hissed through his teeth. “He used to be my assistant and the person I trusted the most. However, he chose to align himself with zero and started a cleansing in the company. He was the one who approved the slaughter of all the taboo ga players and ruined Perfect Life.
“Tang Ling cannot be considered a mber of the managent. She is a mad scientist and is conducting many inhuman tests. She is a huge reason why No. 2 is imprisoned.” Fu Shu warned, “In recent years, she has been figuring out ways to hunt down the taboo ga players. In her eyes, every player is a wonderful test subject. Her preys never end up in good condition. She also has a hand in Project Han Hai. In any case, this woman is very dangerous!”
Gao Ming didn’t react much to the first three people, but Gao Ming’s gaze shifted when he heard Tang Ling’s na. At Shanghai ntal Hospital Haunted House, Gao Ming heard from No. 2 that Tang Ling was an ally. How could Fu Shu’s understanding of her be so different?
Was this Tang Ling’s disguise, or was No. 2 tricked as well?
The walkie-talkie in his pocket didn’t react. After the God of Flesh and Blood beca a Dream Ghost, the device appeared to have malfunctioned.
“Sothing’s wrong.”
Fu Shu didn’t know how to read people’s faces. He was a pure technician. He continued his explanation, “Wan Jie is a founder-level character at Immortal Pharma. He was a part of many important tests. He also went under eternity modification as Du Jing did. However, the effect was not as effective. He beca one of the three managers for the Han Hai Project. I cannot tell where he stands. You can kidnap his adopted children and interrogate them for information.”
When Zhang Mingli heard this suggestion, he sighed harder.
“By the way, there’s one more person.” Fu Shu suddenly rembered sothing. “After I was trapped at Dream Break Town, there was a female doctor who ca to check on . I didn’t tell her anything because I didn’t know if she was an ally. Her na was Wen Xuan.”
“Wen Xuan?” Gao Ming sat up in his chair.
“A normal person can’t enter Dream Break Town, much less find and talk to .” Fu Shu didn’t get it. “I can’t have a proper read on her.”
“The door to No. 2’s room is hidden in these people’s hearts and dreams?!” Gao Ming didn’t expect Xuan Wen’s na to show up.
“I know Immortal Pharma. They like to store the most precious thing in people’s dreams and hearts.”
“Okay.” Gao Ming had one more reason to find No. 2. Once he found No. 2, he would find his ho. Perhaps he’d see his parents. “We cannot afford to waste ti. We’ll make our move now.”
Gao Ming walked down the stairs to Zhang Mingli. “Teacher Zhang, you are free to do what you wish.”
“Immortal Pharma has placed many things on . I will not leave until I’ve excreted them fully out of my body.” Zhang Mingli started to summon back the curses he planted in Dream Break Town. “Gao Ming, violence is not the only solution. Should you ever want to turn Xin Lu into the second Dream Break Town, we’ll be enemies.”
“Do you think I’ll harm the innocent?” Gao Ming walked past Zhang Mingli. The power of the God of Flesh and Blood returned to the torture room. The ghosts from Han Hai returned to the folds of flesh. The red buildings changed shape. Dream Break Town slowly returned to the state it was before the nine-story Soul Temple appeared.
The door of the torture room opened. Familiar figures were bathed in blood and despair. There were many surviving villagers. Gao Ming didn’t treat them as exhaustibles like the Soul Temple did. He stopped after the God of Flesh and Blood obtained enough power.
The villagers who crawled out of the blood regained their sanity. Their wounds healed and they beca more powerful. They walked down the streets and witnessed the rapidly-changing buildings. They returned to their normal lives. However, they stopped worrying about tragedy and evil. Dream Break Town welcod a new rule.
The big river outside the village slowly flowed. The cracked land burst through with trees. The plants exuded a light at fragrance.
Most villagers exited the torture room. At the end, a gong sounded. The incense smoke floated about. An old man with three incense sticks in his neck walked out with a hunchback and carrying a copper gang.
The night-watcher had no head but everyone could pick up his trace of helplessness and thankfulness. He shuffled weakly towards the new Dream Break Town.
A few Yong Gods were not murdered. After they were thrown into the torture room, they were bound to Gao Ming’s karma.
The gong resounded again. The old night-watcher sauntered through the new Dream Break Town. An aged and strong voice ca from his stomach.
“Wu Geng. The long night shall end. The rebirth of all life.”
