Chapter 353: What is Gao Ming's Present
“Talismans? Ghosts?” Gao Ming’s hand tightened around the knife when he heard Fan Li. Gao Ming didn’t trust Fan Li at first, but his conviction shook after the man took out the diary.
“All the rooms on this corridor are numbered 0715. I suspect there is a different version of you living in each one. I don’t know why this is happening. However, I saw a room covered in talismans at the end of the corridor. It is scary.” Fan Li knew that Gao Ming was one of the founders of the Dead Water Forum. Therefore, he didn’t underestimate Gao Ming even though he was just a teenager.
“A corridor filled with the same rooms?” Different choices led to different lives and different versions of Gao Ming. This Gao Ming was cautious and vicious. He was filled with justice but also hatred, or else he wouldn’t have been planning to hunt down the school bully even after he was evicted from school.
“Yes.” Fan Li was shocked. “Have you not left your home to see what it’s like outside?”
“I went to the trash collection centre to pick up some tools for tomorrow this morning.” Gao Ming shook his uniform. His handmade weapons were hidden under the normal uniform.
“So you’ve been out. Did you not discover the ghost in the corridor?” Fan Li was shocked.
“When I went out this morning, everything was normal. I can confirm that there is only one 0715 on this floor. The transformation must have happened after I returned.” Gao Ming pulled off the tape around the mop handle and retrieved another knife. “We’ll leave this place in a minute. If everything is as you said, there can only be two possibilities. One, the ghost appeared after I came back home and created something like a haunted loop. Two, something has messed with my memory. I didn’t even leave this morning, but I was brought to believe that I did.”
Hearing Gao Ming’s analysis, Fan Li was beyond shocked. He didn’t expect the high-schooler to be so rational.
“Okay.” Fan Li took a deep breath. “We can only stay outside for a minute. If it’s longer, the ghost will come after us.”
