Chapter 393: Your Despair is My Everday

“Situ Cheng, whose side are you on? Sometimes, I suspect that you want to borrow the shadow world’s power to murder all of us.” Wang Chenyi was dissatisfied with Situ Cheng. The situation at Building 3 was unique. The worst future had arrived and was infecting everyone with an indecipherable horror.

“I didn’t expect him to switch on all the cameras.” Situ Cheng shrugged, “Xiao Lian, you only need to track Gao Ming’s location and control the cameras near him. I do wish to see how Gao Ming is going to survive in the worst future.”

The young man, named Xiao Lian, pushed on his glasses. He did as he was told. Through the monitors, the group observed Gao Ming’s every move. They knew how scary Building Three was. They didn’t show it ostentatiously, but they were glad. When tragedy arrived, there was nothing happier than watching others suffer while in the comfort of safety.

…

“It feels like someone is watching us.” Gao Ming led the group to Building Three. He looked at the half-open front door and hesitated.

“Could it be the other survivors? I saw the cameras moving earlier. This bunch of people purposely led us into a trap. What a bunch of animals.” Ou Yang Susu cursed. She hadn’t even met these people, but they already wanted to kill them.

“No. The gaze didn’t come from the living.” Gao Ming ignored the cameras. With a heavy heart, he slowly pushed the door open. The spacious lobby was clean, and there was nothing out of place. This only made Gao Ming even more anxious.

“Why did those people who participated in the selection abandon Building Three? What happened here?” Gao Ming signalled the others to keep a safe distance from him. He was the first to enter Building Three. Every condo apartment at Prosperity Neighbourhood was built with the best materials. The clean and reflective marble floor reflected Gao Ming’s shadow. The light furnaces on the walls were like art pieces. Pots of greenery lined the corridors. This place looked so peaceful.

Gao Ming walked to the elevators and saw the changing number on the panel. “Is someone using the elevator?” Eventually, the elevator reached the first floor.

The elevator doors opened to reveal a familiar face.

“Luo Dong?”@@novelbin@@

Gao Ming had the highest expectations of Luo Dong and Fan Li among the horror game players. The two would become very impressive in the future. However, Luo Dong appeared before Gao Ming now as a decapitated head. His eyes were wide, and he bit a family portrait in his mouth. The future Gao Ming saw didn’t arrive, but the worst future did. Gao Ming held up Luo Dong’s head and tried to see if it was fake, but it felt so real. The wet blood flowed down Gao Ming’s fingers. The divine pattern of the Past appeared in Gao Ming’s left eye, but God’s power was heavily hindered inside Prosperity Neighbourhood. He couldn’t see the pain experienced by the head’s owner before he passed.

“Who killed you? Was it the God of the Future?”

With no expression, Gao Ming removed his school uniform, wrapped it around Luo Dong’s head and tied it to his corpse. He turned back to look. The front door had closed. Fan Li and the rest disappeared. It seemed like he was alone.

“The God of the Past brings one back to the past. The God of the Future should be showing one the future.” Gao Ming was calm as he entered the elevator.

The survivors in Building Five were stumped, watching the monitor. The video on the screens were shocking. It impacted them greatly, even though it had only been about ten seconds.

From their perspective, Gao Ming entered the mutated corridor alone. The elevator, which had the appearance of a monster’s maw, opened. Gao Ming picked up a cursed, giant eyeball. He didn’t seem to be disgusted by it. If anything, he removed his clothes, wrapped the head nicely and tied it to his corpse. Speaking of the corpse, the corpse on his back seemed to slowly return to life. The bloated face that died from asphyxiation seemed to be smiling at the cameras. After a pause, Gao Ming voluntarily entered the giant mouth on the wall. He was trapped inside the elevator that was heavily stained by blood and other dirty substances.

“Isn’t he acting a bit too normal?” Wang Chenyi frowned. “The God of the Future will show us the worst future. Every scene can break down a person’s mind. However, he barely even blinked.”

Situ Cheng, who was talking a lot, became silent. He stared at the monitors. The elevator slowly moved up. When it came to the third floor, the elevator doors opened on their own. A pair of bloody hands caught the frame.

Everyone in the surveillance room held their breath. The hands moved. A woman about three metres tall appeared outside the elevator. The camera could only capture half of her body. The woman bent down and poked her head in. She wore a bloody dress. Cartoonish hair clips decorated her long, curtain-like hair. Situ Cheng and the rest sucked in a cold breath when they saw her through the screen, “Gao Ming is quite unlucky to meet the girlfriend now.”

Everyone who entered Building Three would be trapped in their worst future. There were a few ghosts that were featured in this worst future. They would appear differently to different people. They played roles like girlfriends, boyfriends, fathers, mothers, children and other characters in the imagined future. The surveillance showed the ghosts’ true appearance, but the people in Building Three could only see the illusions of the God of the Future.

“Girlfriend is very hard to read and likes to toy with humans. She sucks on the soul. Gao Ming is most likely dead.” Wang Chenyi just shared his thoughts when he saw something hair-raising. Gao Ming very naturally approached his girlfriend. His hands hugged her by her ‘waist’ as he pushed her against the elevator wall.

The ghost bent her neck to reach her head down. Her black hair almost Gao Ming’s face. However, Gao Ming didn’t seem to mind it at all as he mumbled stuff to himself.

They couldn’t hear Gao Ming, so they could only guess stuff through the girlfriend’s reaction. About ten seconds later, before the ghost could react, Gao Ming grabbed her hand. Gao Ming seemed to wish to bring her somewhere where they wouldn’t be captured on camera.

“What is he doing?”

The video was impossible to dissect. Gao Ming carried a corpse and had a giant eyeball wrapped in his uniform. He held a ghost by her hand. His expression showed no fear. If anything, he smiled joyfully for being given a second chance to undo the regrets in his life.
