Horror Game Designer

Chapter 238: Gamer

“Su Mo should still be alive. There’s no sign of fighting here. He and the woman might have escaped from another exit like the window.” Brother Xiong knew that was improbable, but since they hadn’t seen Su Mo’s body, they had to focus on the positive.

Old Sao shook his head. “At this place, anything unimaginable is possible. Everything is heading towards a direction none of us wants.” Old Sao’s heart raced harder than normal. He could sense the appearance of danger, but the feeling was constant. He had no idea where the danger would come from.

“Li San Hospital is so different from the house I entered last night.” Old Sao hesitated before he turned to Lee Ding and Brother Xiong. “I didn’t expect this to happen. This is my fault.”

“Don’t focus on that for now.” Brother Xiong grabbed Old Sao by his arm, “Your phone has been vibrating. Aren’t you going to answer it?”

“Someone replied to my online post. The people outside are very interested in what we’re experiencing here.” Old Sao picked out his phone, clicked open the post, and showed it to his friends. Seeing the content, Brother Xiong and Lee Ding’s faces paled. “These people are so weird!”

“Hmm?” Old Sao glanced at his screen. The first reply was a troll message, “The four of you will die in the hospital. You will be chopped into pieces and put into my new cans.”

“There are many replies like this. Don’t mind it.” Old Sao was already immune to such comments.

“But he knows there are four of us. You didn’t reveal that information before!” Lee Ding entered Old Sao’s profile backstage. His phone kept vibrating because the person who posted that comment kept private messaging Old Sao. Lee Ding allowed the messages to come through, and he saw some blurred images and words.

“The four of you will die in different rooms. I’ll turn you into mutes and deafs. You’ll be turned into toys to satisfy the curiosity of my eccentric customers.”

The private messages kept coming. They included images of the hospital’s seventh floor, the complicated corridor, and finally, the corridor they had just passed. Old Sao scolded the person and then blocked them. However, the messages kept coming. The messages were like calls from the grave. Old Sao originally wanted to use the internet to seek help from outside, but it appeared like only people from inside the hospital could see his post.

“No wonder I can still receive their messages after I’ve blocked them! Are they all ghosts?” Old Sao’s neck was drenched in cold sweat. The pictures in the backstage kept refreshing. The pictures came from the seventh floor, the fourth floor and finally, the floor they were on.

“I will find you and cut you into building blocks. Then, I’ll piece you into shapes I like.

“I will slowly tear off your mouth. I’ve brought the largest hook in the hospital with me. I will attempt everything I’ve been told on you!”

The picture showed the entrance of the psychiatry ward. At the same time, the corridor door opened.

Old Sao’s group looked at each other, and their hearts winced. The phone shook again, and another picture came. It was a picture of the ward corridor. Using the fastest speed, Old Sao turned his phone into silent mode, but it was already too late.

“I think I’ve found you!”

The pictures kept coming. The thing had entered their floor and raced down the corridor. The pictures made the phone screen light up constantly. In the darkening ward, the light lit up their pale faces. Old Sao grabbed his chest, “Run! Now!”

The trio rushed out of the room. They saw a kid about ten standing outside a ward about a few meters away. He wore a giant gaming helmet. He was so small, but he moved so fast. The kid’s head had melted into the helmet. The electrical wires joined with his blood vessels. The kid couldn’t even tell the difference between the reality and the game. Other than the head, his hands also mutated. There were no fingers, only two soft blobs of meat. They could turn into different weapons based on the kid’s order.

“Found you! I found you!”

An excited scream came from the gaming helmet. The kid ran with the helmet low on his head.

“Fuck! Why are there so many monsters here?”

Old Sao ran without turning back. He turned down anywhere there was a path. Once his heart could sense danger, he would not stop.

“Let me play with you! Let me chop up your mouth! Let me see how tough your mouths are!” The kid chased after them. Lee Ding was at the back. He was really nervous, “Old Sao! What did you message the kid before you blocked him?”

“The same thing you’d tell people when playing online games!”

“Then, it’s over for us!”

Lee Ding ran faster.

They ran to the first floor. When Old Sao exited the corridor, he tripped and fell to the ground. Brother Xiong and Lee Ding fell because they tripped on his body. Pain came from everywhere. Old Sao hadn’t gotten the chance to raise his head when he felt a cold thing on his neck. He lifted his head in shock. Old Sao saw two security members from the investigation centre in the lobby. The night was behind them. The dawning light shone on them.

The two members stood to the side. The leading man had long black hair and every inch of his body was covered in ghost tattoos.

The bloody band was stuck on his wrist. The man stepped on Old Sao’s head. “How are there still survivors? Are you horror game players?”

Old Sao reacted quickly and pleaded for help. “We’re here to help our friend’s mother secure some medicine! Help! There’s a monster chasing us!”

The kid with the gaming helmet had already appeared at the corridor. His hands mutated into sickles.

“A low-grade shadow product. Not even a big ghost.” The man didn’t even pull out his blade as he walked over Old Sao’s body and walked alone towards the corridor.

The ghost tattoos on his neck winked. The man smiled. The kid was not scared. He raised his sickles as if preparing to fight a game boss.
