Strange game designer.

Chapter 770 Sympathies

"No need, my life is worthless, I am not worthy of such great fortune." Ci Nian was very smart, his three pupils trembled, he saw the problem with Gao Ming.

In fact, he had always known that Gao Ming was hiding a secret. Everyone in this city has their own secrets, which is normal. But when the Blood City Ghost Mark appeared, Ci Nian realized that what Gao Ming was hiding was too terrifying.

Several weeks ago, the city council issued a ban on searching shops for outsiders, and the whole city knew about it. However, as a senior member of the Tzu Chi Foundation, Tzu Nian also obtained some information from Councilor Tzu who was not in a position to disclose it.

The "god" deep within the forbidden zone personally issued the order to kill all outsiders, especially the nine leaders among them who had strange markings on their bodies.

The Li Sansi standing before them was one of the nine leaders with strange patterns, while the wish ghost pattern emerging on the embryo was another one!
Ci Nian encountered the ringleader, whom the city council had been searching for throughout the city but couldn't catch, and she met two of them at once.

“Child, the outside world is about to become very chaotic. You should stay here. This is our protection for you.” Gao Ming pressed Ci Nian back into the spot where An Luan’s daughter had been standing. The Wish Ghost Mark seemed to crawl out from all directions like a venomous snake and entered Ci Nian’s body. He tried to save himself, but Gao Ming was far too experienced. He simply stripped Ci Nian of his clothes and threw all sorts of strange and unusual items outside the embryo: “We’re not good people. You’d better stay put.”

The embryo in the center of darkness began to throb again, and the life paths eroded by the lines of desire connected to the embryo, once again pouring the hatred and resentment of the entire city into it.

This time, however, it's no longer the dark rules that dominate, and the evil will intercept all power.

With his palm pressed against the embryo, he felt the satisfaction emanating from the lines of desire. Gao Ming and Gui Yuan did not communicate further. Reducing their interactions in this dark shrine was also a form of protection for both of them.

"You..." Most of the wish patterns on An Luan's body surged toward the forbidden zone, and his own will awakened in that terrifying and ugly body.

His massive body was covered in blood and grime, like a living exhibition of sins, with the people he killed embedded in his ugly torso, becoming part of his "power".

Holding An Luan's daughter in front of him, Gao Ming loaded the black gun: "Mr. An, we should have a good talk now. In fact, we are in the same boat."

"What do you mean?" An Luan was still a little confused, but after hearing Gao Ming's words, his attention slowly began to focus, and his pupils gradually regained their color.

“You were tricked into the First Forbidden Zone, where the ‘gods’ here stole your flesh and life. The original owner of this body, on the other hand, willingly entered the underground water network and sacrificed something in the darkest pool, becoming neither human nor ghost.” Gao Ming gently held An Luan’s daughter, his tone casual, but his hand gripping the gun dared not relax for a moment: “We have the same enemy, we bear the same sins. Perhaps we should find a way to take back what belongs to us.”

"Is there anything left in this world that belongs to us?" An Luan's voice was mournful and filled with sorrow; he seemed to be disappointed with everything.

"A normal life, the happiness, dignity, joy, and hope that should exist—each of these belongs to us," Gao Ming said with certainty. "The Mountain Lord is using your body to carry out massacres outside. Children like your daughter are being sent to pharmaceutical factories, becoming fertilizer for cultivating life flowers. Can you imagine the pain of seeds taking root and sprouting under your daughter's skin, blooming one by one?" Upon hearing the words "Mountain Lord," An Luan showed no fear or panic, nor any anger. He was very calm, which was quite different from Gao Ming's previous prediction.

"Don't you want your body back?"

"The sixth level of martial arts, the Myriad Manifestations of Divinity, my flesh and blood, full of sins, were originally prepared for 'gods'."

"Have you gone mad from learning martial arts? What nonsense about the myriad forms? All those martial arts realms you mentioned were made up by your master. Your master is a madman who turned you, a normal person, into a madman!" Gao Ming spoke very rudely, he was really disappointed in you.

The former strongest man in Wansheng was not angry at all in the face of Gao Ming's rebuke: "What can I do in my current state? As long as I leave the restricted area, I will be regarded as a source of pollution by the night police, cleaning companies, and all gangs. The entire city will be in panic because of me. I am different from you. At least you are still human. I am a monster, an indisputable monster."

"So that's what you're worried about?" Gao Ming smiled. "The Mountain King is at war with the Night Police, and the City Council, in conjunction with several gangs, is trying to completely eliminate them. They're barely able to protect themselves, so how could they have time to arrest you? Other neighborhoods will soon be in chaos too. I'm preparing to detonate all the restricted areas..."

An Luan couldn't hear what Gao Ming said next; his mind was filled with Gao Ming's words about detonating the forbidden zone: "Do you know how many people will die? How many innocent people will be contaminated and suffer a fate worse than death because of your actions!"

"How dare you stand up and criticize me? I've met more people in this city than you've eaten, and you're the one lecturing me?" Gao Ming raised the muzzle of his gun. "Only by tearing everything down can we have a chance to dispel the darkness. To be frank, this city is rotten to the core! You've all become nourishment for the darkness. Of course, it's not your fault, because that's the meaning of your existence."

Gao Ming has a sharp tongue, but every word he says is the truth, both hurtful and reasonable.

“I don’t need any promises from you now. I just hope that once the city is in chaos, you can help keep the mountain king in check. That would also be a help to yourself.” Gao Ming put away his black gun, carried An Luan’s daughter on his back, and tied her up with a rope. “I will take care of this child for you. I hope that when she wakes up, she can see the father she remembers.”

A string in his heart was plucked. An Luan looked at the huge, blood-red worm connected to him. There seemed to be an invisible barrier between its incredibly ugly, sinful body and his daughter's serene face.

“Okay.” An Luan did not stop Gao Ming from taking his daughter away. He knew in his heart that he was no match for Gao Ming and the Wish Pattern. He needed time to recover.

"After I leave, many people will likely enter the restricted area to investigate. Don't let outsiders know about our cooperation." Gao Ming briefly examined An Luan's daughter's body: "Your daughter's condition is not good. I need other forbidden bottles to help her dispel the darkness. We can't stay here for too long."

Guiyuan was gradually assimilating the First Forbidden Zone, and Gaoming wanted to cover for him, so he didn't choose to detonate the explosives carried by the priests. With the help of Anluan and Guiyuan, he retrieved the explosives and left the First Forbidden Zone alone, heading to other districts.
