Chapter 825 I Alone

"One carrying nine?"

The five dream ghosts stared at Gao Ming, who stood in the center. Frankly, anyone who didn't believe Gao Ming was insane was the abnormal one. This wasn't just sending him to his death; it was tantamount to suicide.

“The new Shanghai Blood City has been served up. We just had a brief conversation with the savior, but he has more important things to do and cannot return.” Gao Ming spoke slowly, as he needed to make it clear: “The Central Blood City is powerful and will launch a war against the Dark Blood City when the time for turmoil arrives. After the battle is decided, it will also enter the Blood Sea.”

"So... no one will come to help us?" Ji Zhe's expression was somewhat bitter. "The master of Xinhu Blood City has given up on this place. It would be better for us to go back to Hanhai."

Even the number two, who always favored Xin Hu, did not refute this time. He was a very rational guy, and even if he racked his brains to calculate, he could not figure out how Gao Ming and the others would survive.

“Three blood cities, one brings light, one brings truth, and what we bring should be time.” The seed of delirium is in Gao Ming’s hands, and only he can use it: “Don’t you think this is a rare opportunity? Those blood city lords don’t usually leave their territories easily.”

"You have a really good attitude." Ji Zhe wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the director of the Investigation Bureau.

The one under the most pressure right now is Gao Ming. As the lord of the Blood City of the Vast Sea, every decision he makes affects the fate of countless people. Although the Director of the General Bureau didn't get along with Gao Ming before, he now understands Gao Ming's situation.

"You don't need to be too pessimistic. I don't need to fight head-on. I'm just stalling for time. Maybe the Saviors and the Central Blood City will return from the sea of ​​blood soon."

Gao Ming's expression was relaxed. Step by step, until he rebuilt Han Hai, he had learned to face everything with equanimity.

Realizing that Gao Ming meant "I don't need to fight head-on," Yan Xizhi took off her glasses and wiped them: "I'll stay with you."

“I’ll stay too.” Ji Zhe pushed the director of the Investigation Bureau aside: “I’m not advising you to go back to Han Hai because I’m afraid.”

“You can’t help here either.” Gao Ming told the dream ghosts about the delirium. Regardless of their strength, all dreamers would go insane, and the world they saw would be completely changed. “They would lose their previous memories, souls, and bodies, and tear everything apart in their madness.”

“Since it has nothing to do with strength, then I’m even more determined to stay.” Yan Xizhi straightened her silver hair, this meticulous and old-fashioned woman stood firmly next to Gao Ming: “If you fail, those Blood City Lords will go to the Vast Sea, and we will all be slaughtered. We might as well stay here and buy as much time as we can.”

Shaking his head, Gao Ming, unusually, refused all help: "Go back."

Gao Ming rarely made such a strong statement. He understood delirium better than anyone else. It was an ability that he would never want to use, even if it meant his death: "I don't want to kill any of you with my own hands after I go insane. If you come with me, that will be a concern for me."

Despite the repeated persuasion of several dream ghosts, none of them could change Gao Ming's mind. The artificial blood sun fell and rose again, and the dim blood light lengthened the shadows of the people from the vast sea.

In the end, apart from Number Two, several dream ghosts returned through the passage between New Shanghai and reality. Before they left, Gao Ming also let them take away most of the ghosts in the torture chamber, leaving behind only some "bastards" who wouldn't be sad even if they were killed, such as Teacher Xia.

“They’re all gone.” Xia Yang’s voice echoed in the torture chamber. “Your heart used to be full of people, but now it’s empty. Only I am still here.”

"I won't be sad if you die."

"very nice."

"Where's the good?"

Don't you find this kind of interaction comfortable?

"That's true."

Gao Ming now only harbors the thoughts of true madmen in his mind; they are more suited to a world altered by delirium than a normal world. "Two lunatics," Number Two's lingering resentment murmured in the corner of the torture chamber. "What are you planning to do with that guy?"

"Shen Luo?" Gao Ming also had a headache. This guy with a dark destiny couldn't be taken to Han Hai, but keeping him around was also risky. "Let him leave the city. Good people will be blessed."

"What makes him seem like a lucky person?"

A crimson wind swept through the ruins, and Shen Luo's chains were only half untied as he struggled to stand up.

After a moment's thought, Gao Ming broke the other chains on Shen Luo and tossed him a map: "Take this and head east. There's a Happy Community there. The Savior's former neighbors will help you."

"Isn't it a bit too general?" Shen Luo didn't quite understand the almost hand-drawn map.

“There’s a sliver of my consciousness inside. It will guide you when you can’t find your way.” Gao Ming waved his hand. “If you don’t leave now, when those things that are even more terrifying than the unspeakable come, you won’t be able to escape.”

"Thank you so much for saving my life. I will never forget it." Shen Luo clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"You should just forget about it."

Ignoring Shen Luo, Gao Ming ordered the flesh and blood demons to unleash all their power, preparing to expand the flesh and blood domain as far as possible outwards, using the passage connecting New Shanghai and reality as the center.

The building ruins and the ground are rapidly turning to shreds, and Gao Ming needs to make sure he has enough time to use delirium.

"After discovering the unusual activity in other blood cities, the Central Blood City immediately alerted Han Hai. Calculating the time, it would take at least a few more days for the lords of those blood cities to reach Xinhu Blood City." The deep world is extremely vast, and one could not explore it all even in a lifetime, which further illustrates the preciousness of the "passage."

"We must not be careless. Those Blood City Lords have existed for countless years and may possess some unknown method that allows them to move quickly in the deeper world."

"kindness."

After the flesh and blood domain expanded to its limit, streaks of blood emerged from it, drilling towards even greater distances.

Under the control of the Blood Immortal, some blood threads have left the area covered by the New Shanghai Blood City and are now on guard outside the city.

Even so, Gao Ming was still uneasy. He disrupted the operation of the artificial blood yang, keeping it suspended in the air, and summoned the true form of the flesh and blood ghost god, hiding himself in its chest and heart.

"almost."

Gao Ming made thorough preparations and began a tense and long wait. During this time, he dared not relax for a moment, as any flaw could be exploited by the Lord of Blood City.

A thick fog blanketed the area, and the dust of memories settled on the ruins. As time passed, the entire Deep World seemed to grow quieter and quieter.

The clash between the different Blood City rules did not occur, and the unjustly killed souls on the despairing land dared not speak again; the world seemed to be slowly frozen.

Gao Ming sensed something approaching, but he couldn't describe it.

I can't talk about it, because it will hurt me; I can't look at it, because it will drive me crazy; I can't listen to it, because I'll forget it as soon as I hear it.
