Chapter 387: Intersection of Fate
The flood of Gao Mings caused the painter Gao Ming’s attitude to change. He wanted to leave on his own and become the only Gao Ming.
“How did you find me?” The painter Gao Ming slowly pulled back his hands and hugged the figurine close to his chest.
“We’re the same and connected by blood. We can even hear each other’s heartbeats. Of course, we won’t let you face the dangers alone,” The kind Gao Ming said politely. The room in the centre of the corridor was only so big. Gao Mings almost filled it up alone. It was impossible for the painter Gao Ming to escape. The painter Gao Ming scanned every Gao Ming’s face. He saw and acknowledged the multiple facets of Gao Ming. Most of them were harmless. However, a few of them made him feel anxious.
Compared to the conflicted painter Gao Ming, He Jing was scared out of his mind. He stuck close to the wall. The same faces of Gao Ming kept entering his eyes. He felt suffocated. He was about to get Gao Ming-phobia.
“The ghost named Future might come at any moment. You better make your decision.” The flesh Gao Ming stood at the front. He was covered in prayers. He looked scarier than the painter Gao Ming. The painter Gao Ming also knew they didn’t have much time. His trap couldn’t hold the grandmother for long.
“Fine. I’ll lead the way for you, but you have to promise me one thing.” The painter Gao Ming raised the mud figurine. “I’ll handle the figurine. None of you can fight me for it. If an outsider tries to fight me for it, you have to help me stop them.”
“Of course. We’re of the same origin. Why would we fight you?”
Having the confirmation, the painter Gao Ming gripped the figurine by its neck and headed to the Door of the Present. Everyone held their breath and stared at him. One, they were afraid that he might escape on his own. Two, they were curious about what was hidden behind the door.
When the normal-looking mud figurine touched the darkness outside the door, all the clocks inside the building seemed to malfunction. Some started to turn backwards, and others had their fingers started to tremble. Once the mud figurine was taken out of Everlasting Life Apartments, the time flow would become chaotic.
