Chapter 265: Taboo Game

The strong desire to eat consumed Gao Ming. His heart was connected to the God of Flesh and Blood, so he understood how excited God was. A giant bloody shadow was affixed to the scythe of fate. The chains made from souls curled around his body. The shadow became more corporeal. It was different from what Buddha K had imagined. The real thousand-hands white bone was a monster wearing a giant ram mask. It wore kindness as a disguise and lived in the dark. Whenever it killed someone, it added a new finger to its collection. Every dead God in the shadow world was an extreme amalgamation of sins!

“How can a shadow be so scary?” The ram monster had been dead for a long time already. It wanted to revive through K, but it encountered Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood. The arms of the shadow were pinned by the scythe. The giant shadow roared like thunder. Eyes opened inside the wounds on its cheeks. The God of Flesh and Blood was familiar with his enemy. With one hand on the goat’s head, the other hand swung the scythe!

The blade beheaded the shadow. The scary roar ended. A red broken finger hidden deep inside the shadow was consumed by the face of death. A sense of divinity appeared on God’s face, and his body grew larger.

“Is that finger the actual body of the shadow? Has its corpse been exhausted until this degree already?”

The character, Life on the scythe was dyed red. Red patterns extended out of the character, Fate. The pattern was similar to the ghost tattoo on K. The ghosts that were reaped by the scythe would be branded on the scythe. The shadow dissipated inside the torture room. Situ An and the Red Raincoat witnessed the whole process. Situ An became silent while the Red Raincoat appeared to be touched. Her expression became more authentic.

The God of Flesh and Blood let go of the chains and touched his face with satisfaction. The face of death radiated such a powerful presence that the other three faces had to work together to suppress it. After the shadow was beheaded, the sheath broke into two sections. Rotten black blood was sucked up by the souls inside the scythe. The eyes on the sheath stared silently at Gao Ming and the God of Flesh and Blood.

Without any hesitation, the God of Flesh and Blood threw the broken blade and sheath into the flesh forge. Blood flew everywhere. The red flames in the forge danced as a new torture device was being made!

Painful screams came from the flames. The pairs of vengeful eyes dissolved. Several minutes later, the God of Flesh and Blood yanked out a boning knife the size of a finger out of the forge. The blade was pure white and thin. There was an open eye on the hilt. God placed the blade on the wall of torture devices before turning to the other security members present.

“There have to be other divine corpses where these members got their ghost tattoos. The God of Flesh and Blood hungers for the residual power and faith in them.” Gao Ming didn’t have Gong Xi return to the torture room. He had already been exposed. The best solution was to deal with all the witnesses.

In the hearts of the members of Team Seven, K was like a God. No one could harm him. No matter how dangerous it was, K could always survive. However, the miracle did not happen that day. The bone hands were shattered, and the divine corpse was consumed before it had the chance to awaken. If they didn’t see it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t believe something would dare to eat a divine corpse. A few of the members who were close to K stood by the door. The others had already initiated the emergency protocol. When they encountered something they couldn’t handle, they would split up and escape to maximise the chance of bringing the information in their blood bands out.

“This hospital is Situ An’s home. I haven’t found his secret, and the investigation centre is already here to ruin my party.” Gao Ming stood there and left the massacre to God. Due to his multiple deaths, he felt a special way when lives perished before him. It was like pain but also loneliness.

Silence returned. The ghost tattoos on the security members were stripped away to create new chains.

“There are some questions I need to ask.” With Gao Ming’s reminder, the God of Flesh and Blood kept one survivor. He pulled the security member to Gao Ming. “Don’t be scared. I’m not one who likes to kill and torture.” The chains and torture devices rattled. Gao Ming’s special self-introduction scared the man. His heart chilled just seeing the stuff inside the torture room. Despair crawled all over him.

“I can tell you everything I know. I hope you can give me a quick death.” The man didn’t beg for mercy. He just wanted a quick exit.

“The security members from Han Hai have these strange patterns on their bodies. Where did you get this power?” Gao Ming was not interested in normal ghost tattoos, but he wanted to find more divine corpses.

“Half a year ago, we were sent into a taboo game at Xin Lu for training. That game is separated into the surface world and the inner world. The surface world is no different from real life. The inner world is filled with ghosts and negative emotions. There, you can see the darkest side of humanity.” The man’s breathing caught as if he remembered something scary.

“Can you bring stuff out of that game?” Gao Ming pointed at the man’s ghost tattoo.

“The game became a taboo because it was apparently connected to the darkest spot in the human heart. There is a tunnel deep inside the game that leads to the mind world.” The man’s explanation reminded Gao Ming of the definition of home. The inner part of the taboo game appeared to exist in the shadow world.

“Is the creator of the game still alive?”

“That is highly confidential information that only the headquarters’ higher-ups will know. However, I heard the team leader mention that the game creators are lost in the inner world. They have gone to a far-away place and will not return any more.” The man was very honest. “Currently, Xin Lu Investigation Centre has taken over the taboo game. The female captain has the surname Li. She is forceful and powerful. Many people have suffered under her iron rule. However, she is alone at Xin Lu. As the tragedy approaches, different voices start to appear within the inside of Xin Lu Headquarters.”

The man said things Gao Ming hadn’t encountered before. His life had been limited to the city.

“One last question,” Gao Ming knelt before the man, “If I want to enter that taboo game, what do I need to prepare?”
