Chapter 226: New Era
The blood door grew in Zhang Ding’s former home and became the place’s only ‘tenant’. Among the old and decrepit apartments, Gao Ming took a new step.
“It won’t be that hard to enter the shadow world in the future.” Gao Ming took out his birthday portrait and pushed open the door again with the group watching. Outside the door was Zhang Ding’s home a decade ago. Inside the door was the shadow world. Anyone could use this door to traverse between the two worlds easily. However, only one person could open the door with ease, and that person was Gao Ming.
The souls who had been infected by the shadow world couldn’t wait to reunite with the shadows. The group inside the house instantly disappeared. The blood capillaries from the door changed the layout of Zhang Ding’s home. His bathroom became the new Home of Lunatics, and his bedroom became the new Home of Butchers.
“Call everyone here. We’ll use Li San and Da Zai as the centre to create a new death border city.”
While Wei Dayou went to get everyone, Gao Ming entered the Home of Butchers. He placed the birthday portrait inside the Bone City to summon the map. Anomalies were triggered all around the city. The buildings on the map started to change colours due to the appearance of the shadow. They morphed from the original white to bloody red and, finally, pure darkness. Gao Ming believed he had seen this in one of his futures.
“The investigation centre might seal up the buildings with anomalies and send people to deal with them. At the same time, they will train more people to attempt to control the cursed objects and the ghosts.” He Yi was tossed out of the flood. He was a dog trained by Situ An. He’d do anything to survive.
“I know you have multiple big ghosts, but that is not enough to rival the centre. Humans will go crazy before a threat. They’d do anything.” He Yi crawled up from the ground and walked to Gao Ming, “I’ve seen many taboo experiments done by the investigation centres with my own eyes. That includes blood sacrifices, voluntary possessions and so on. They have even targeted fetuses so that ghosts can be born in real life.”
“Is it the same with the other cities?” Gao Ming felt like Han Hai was different from the other cities. Anomalies had occurred in Jiujiang and Xin Lu, but they didn’t involve the common citizens.
“I heard from the chief that Han Hai is an abandoned city. The goal of this city is to take the path of…” He Yi paused before continuing, “Self-destruction. They want to see what will happen if a city falls to the shadow world.”
