Chapter 404: Harder to Kill
“None of the people who answered was Gao Ming?” Luo Dong digested this statement and felt a chill run up his spine.
“That’s not the weirdest.” The man tilted his head to look at Luo Dong, “The voices on the phone sounded unfamiliar to us at first. However, every time we made a call, the voice would become a bit more like Gao Ming’s until it sounded perfectly like Gao Ming. However, through some minor details and habits, we could tell that it was not the real Gao Ming.”
“It became more and more like Gao Ming?!” The feeling of one’s family being slowly replaced made Luo Dong feel so helpless.
“Indeed. It’s one of the reasons why we came to find him.”
Luo Dong was silent. Even if they knew their son might be haunted by ghosts, they didn’t hesitate to search for him.
“I don’t know how you ended up here, but once we left our home, we realised the world outside had become completely different. It felt like we had entered a different dimension. The streetlights blurred. Unknown objects crawled in the shadows. However, we didn’t care about these things because we were too worried about Gao Ming. We found this place based on the address he gave us.” The man’s cap slowly fell back to reveal traces of blood around his neck. “Are you here to look for your child too?”
“I was trapped in an anomaly. My wife and daughter’s souls are permanently banished. My only son has gone missing.” Luo Dong tried his best to ignore the blood.
“Don’t be scared. The blood… is not human…” The middle-aged man suddenly trembled. His eyes shrunk. “To hurry to Gao Ming’s rental place, we took a cab. The driver told us a lot of ghost stories along the way, including the murder cases that occurred in Han Hai over the past few years. He was so detailed that it felt like he was at the crime scene in person. We suspected he was the killer, but he told us the stories were given to him by his other passengers. Then, he wanted us to tell him a story.”
“What story did you tell him?” Luo Dong asked subconsciously.
