Chapter 399: Guess
“First, I can help you eliminate a wrong answer. Your parents are not in real life. You are on the wanted posters for the investigation centre. They can’t find anything related to your parents, and I failed to do so either.” The corpse puppet’s lips were rotting, but he spoke faster. “However, if they are in the shadow world, how did they enter it? And when? How much do they need to sacrifice to survive in the shadow world?”
Gao Ming knew better than most how dangerous the shadow world was. He also didn’t understand how his parents managed to find him every time.
“They are normal people who have no powers. They entered the shadow world for you. You currently own everything, but it is built on the foundation of their pain. As their child, do you not care about them?” The puppet slowly led Gao Ming to the main point. “The future is here. The scenes you do not wish to see will appear. They will include ones with your parents.”
“Stop talking in riddles. You’ve said a lot. What exactly do you want?”
“The anomalies are the locations where the shadow world and the real world overlap. Your parents are in this building. You once murdered your way into my home to help me reunite with my mother. Now, I will help you reunite with your parents.” The corpse’s face was rotting. His expression was one of pain, but he cackled happily, “Go and find them. Guess and see if they’re your real parents or not.”
The corpse puppet was at its limits. It cracked open. The inside of its body was stuffed with paper. Gao Ming tried to put them together. It contained Situ An’s handwriting. They were the script for the corpse puppet.
“Don’t… believe it.” Xuan Wen sensed a clear change in Gao Ming’s emotions. She should have been happy, but she couldn’t. She even blurted out a word of warning.
Gao Ming stood in the pool of blood and shook his head. The God of the Past and the God of the Future were once the scariest existences in the shadow world. Even though they had been buried in the shadow world, their mud figurines still contained part of their power. This power could affect the past and the future.
“Perhaps they really have their hands on my parents.” Gao Ming seemed to talk to himself. Xuan Wen’s hand that held Gao Ming’s palm tightened. Her lips slowly opened. Then, when the clock rang again, Xuan Wen came to a decision. She let go of Gao Ming’s hand and looked at Gao Ming with a stern expression, “Stop going upstairs. Stay on the floor where we met. Go find a room where the future is hidden.” Then, Xuan Wen turned and left. She knew that the more she got entangled with Gao Ming, the worse her ending would be. The God of the Future would do anything to torture Gao Ming.
