Strange game designer.

Chapter 813 Twin Flowers in a Dream
"You're quite good at dodging." Gao Ming sat in the staff apartment building of Yong Sheng Pharmaceutical, looking at the little brat in front of him who was full of foul language: "Teacher Zhang, the trick of hiding the truth under the lamp is really brilliant."

"That **Zero, I f*** it**." The child cursed as he fell to the ground. Tall and thin Zhang Mingli emerged from the child's shadow. His figure was blurry, as if he might disappear at any moment, but the feeling he gave Gao Ming was much stronger than before.

Since their parting in Zhemeng Town, Zhang Mingli has been hunted down by Zero. He absorbed all the curses and various powers left to him by the saviors, which is how he survived until now.

"Your strength now should be much greater than hatred, right?"

"What's the use? I'm far from being unspeakable, and besides, I don't believe in these things. Even if I become unspeakable, I won't build a shrine for myself." Moral education teacher Zhang Mingli is a staunch atheist. In his view, those unspeakable beings are simply souls that have reached a higher dimension, while his spiritual realm has always been very high: "Did you come here specifically to save me, to find me?"

"The Blood City of the Vast Ocean has been rebuilt. I am going to Xinhu to help you call back your savior."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

At Zhang Mingli's insistence, the two immediately went to the garbage treatment plant. However, when they arrived, the garbage valley had already been leveled and planted with some plants that could purify the soil.

During the time Gao Ming returned to the Vast Ocean, the group of forbidden players suffered heavy losses, and even their lair was dug up.

“I know other routes.” Now that things had come to this, Zhang Mingli no longer concealed anything. He led Gao Ming to the secret bases of four forbidden players, but without exception, they were all destroyed.

"Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals is sealing off New Shanghai Blood City, preventing people from entering through forbidden games. All the game pods on the market have been burned down, and the underground black market has been cleaned up. I checked those people's dreams, and it was Zero who personally took action." Countless dream patterns beneath Gao Ming's feet resembled giant tentacles, making one's heart tremble.

“I know a place where the complete set of gaming equipment should still be hidden!” Zhang Mingli wasn’t sure either. He asked Gao Ming to put away the Dream Ghost’s abilities, and the two of them went to a small theater in the old town that was about to go out of business.

Breaking open the door and entering the backstage area, Zhang Mingli picked up a prop-like landline phone and dialed a number.

Half an hour later, a nearly obsolete car stopped in the open space outside the theater, and a man wearing a black hat and whose entire face was covered by a scarf got out.

He was emotional, skillfully navigating the empty audience seats and lifting the curtain backstage.

After seeing Zhang Mingli and Gao Ming through his sunglasses, the joy on his face slowly disappeared, and he stood quietly in place.

"Bai Xian, long time no see." Zhang Mingli pointed at the man and introduced him to Gao Ming: "The uncrowned king of the new Shanghai film and television industry, the first forbidden player to betray after the rebellion of Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals. Huang Ying took all the blame and accepted all the glory."

Zhang Mingli's mouth was incredible; every word he uttered was like a knife stabbing into Bai Xian's heart.

Seeing the atmosphere become heavy, Zhang Mingli changed his tone: "But I know this was something he and Huang Ying planned. At that time, the saviors left, and Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals tested us step by step, making it hard for everyone to breathe. Forbidden players are all ordinary people, so the two of them have to find a way to pave the way for everyone."

“If there’s nothing urgent, I’ll head back now.” Bai Xian was very well-mannered, and you couldn’t tell what he was thinking from his tone and appearance: “This theater was built by the Savior for his only audience. Although we are slowly forgetting the Savior’s name, I hope you can give him the final respect, don’t ruin his memory, and don’t bring in strangers.”

"We're here to go to New Blood City and summon back the Saviors." Zhang Mingli sat on the edge of the stage. "Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals destroyed all the Forbidden Players' bases. We need gaming equipment to enter that world." "I no longer touch that game."

Bai Xian turned to leave, but Gao Ming, who hadn't said much, suddenly walked towards the audience and sat down in a seat in the front row.

"It's strange. The savior's aura is so faint that everyone has almost forgotten his name, yet I can still feel the traces of his presence here." Looking up at the stage, the threads of dreams and fate intertwine, weaving together a young man. He is the only actor and the only audience member. On stage, he uses the tragedy of his life to perform comedy. Offstage, he sheds tears, laughs madly, and applauds desperately.

"Twin souls?"

Even with the Dream Demon's abilities, it was impossible to recreate the other party's face, but for Zhang Mingli and Bai Xian, this scene was already shocking enough.

Some memories that the two were about to forget were awakened, and Gao Ming also seemed to hear a strange voice. The scene constructed with the power of the dream demon showed signs of going out of control. The two figures standing on the stage and sitting below the stage slowly turned their necks and looked at Gao Ming at the same time.

The unspeakable existence spreads a curse simply by being mentioned, not to mention that Gao Ming is now using a dream to conjure up scenes from the past that actually happened to the savior.

Without facial features, unable to communicate, Gao Ming was certain that the other party had sensed him; the young Blood City Lord of Xinhu had met him in this way.

"You have brought the first glimmer of life to the Vast Ocean. Vast Ocean Blood City will help you buy as much time as possible." Gao Ming expressed his goodwill, but the savior conjured in the dream did not react at all. Until the thread of fate broke and the dream shattered, the two figures slowly dissipated. The figure on the stage turned into a white petal, and the figure in the audience turned into a blood-red petal. They were blown into reality by the wind in the dream and landed in Gao Ming's palm.

"Twin Flowers?" Bai Xian seemed to recall an old movie and blurted it out unconsciously, "Who starred in it? I can't remember?"

One white and one red, their petals intertwined with a terrible cause and effect, the power of fate forcibly trying to annihilate them, yet they stubbornly remained together.

Gao Ming clenched his fists, trying to grasp the petals, but they were instantly imprinted on the Blood City Ghost Mark on his palm.

"Is this person using me as a reference point? Or is it trying to convey something to me?"

The weakest Blood City Lord in history was somewhat puzzled, but Gao Ming didn't think much of it and got up to leave. There was no longer any trace of the savior in the small theater, which had become ordinary and old.

"Bai Yingdi, even the savior believes in him, what are you still hesitating for?" Zhang Mingli hooked his arm around Bai Xian's neck, his murderous aura almost freezing Bai Xian to death.

"Come with me, I have the gaming pod and gaming helmet." Bai Xian didn't waste any time. He led Gao Ming and Zhang Mingli to a private clinic, where they received injections of medication to help restore their memories, and then lay down on the operating table.

In order to avoid being detected by Yong Sheng Pharmaceuticals, Bai Xian severed his past by uploading his memories.
