Chapter 224: Normal Person

Strange people, scary ghosts and curious rooms.

In that situation, Su Mo felt that the blanket given to him by the Four-Eyed Auntie wasn’t that scary anymore. This was the only ‘cursed object’ he owned. Hugging the blanket, Su Mo tried to move to the door to escape, but Zhang Ding was standing outside. Boss Zhang, whose chest was leaking, had morphed into the flood as he blasted the corridor.

Since he couldn’t leave from the front door, Su Mo tried to find a different exit. He tried his best to stay away from Gao Ming, but his body still accidentally touched the edge of the bone city. Gao Ming sensed Su Mo’s presence via the city. The map gave him a new piece of information.

“Su Mo: Zero violence tendency, zero perversion, zero danger rating. Extremely low mental corruption. The chance of shadow corruption is low. Abandonment is suggested.”

After Su Mo touched the map, Gao Ming gained new information. The final goal of all the parents in the shadow world was to become the new owner of the dead Han Hai City. They would help the shadow world regain life. After the parents triggered the anomaly in the real world and obtained the blessings of the shadow world, they could use the blessing to reward their family. The family was the citizens of the shadow Han Hai. The previous number on the map was 207, but after Gao Ming took over the map, the number went back to zero.

“Su Mo’s presence here is like fate’s intervention. I owe him for helping Xia Yang enter the Home of Butchers.” Situ An’s treasures were hidden in the real ‘home’. The map only had a few blessings left that Situ An didn’t have the chance to use. Gao Ming decided to use them all on Su Mo. His consciousness controlled the bone city. Shadow rushed towards Su Mo and dragged him to the middle of the map.

Su Mo screamed, but he soon realised the shadow didn’t harm him. The shadow world’s blessing worked differently on different people. Gao Ming studied Su Mo carefully. Eventually, Gao Ming frowned.

Even if a cat like Fa Cai were blessed by the shadow world several times, it would mutate. However, Su Mo only became slightly stronger physically.

“Is it because he’s too upright and goes against the principle of the shadow world? But if that’s the case, why is he here? Did Xia Yang do something to him?”

Based on Su Mo’s situation, the shadow world was selective too. To further understand the blessing of the shadow world, Gao Ming kept one last blessing and guided it to his body.

“Nothing happened to Su Mo after ten blessings. One blessing on me should be fine.”

The shadow from one of the buildings entered his body. The God of Flesh and Blood roared in warning. The eight arms grabbed Gao Ming’s limbs and tried to twist them off. Bloody wounds appeared on his skin. There were screams in the shadows too. Some force was fighting with the God of Flesh and Blood. They fought using Gao Ming’s body as the battlefield. It was a fight between the flesh and the nerves.

The pain in Gao Ming was immeasurable. The shadow world’s blessing curled into his every negative thought and promoted the growth of scary ideas. The God of Flesh and Blood naturally couldn’t allow Gao Ming to be transformed by external power. He suppressed the thoughts with force and then entered Gao Ming’s blood to shatter all the shadows.

Su Mo gained so many blessings, and he was fine. Gao Ming only had one blessing, and he almost lost his life. The God of Flesh and Blood almost killed him to destroy the shadow.

“The God of Flesh and Blood is resistant against the shadow world. He won’t allow the shadow world to bless me.”

Gao Ming didn’t have the luck to enjoy the blessing, so he absorbed the other things.

Of course, the experience wasn’t fully useless. The tearing of his body improved Gao Ming’s physique, and he could see further in the dark. Many ideas became more concrete in his mind. It was a feeling that was hard to describe. It was like he would succeed if he decided to do some horrible things.

“Normal blessing differs depending on the individual. The closer the individual is to the nature of the shadow world, the greater the effect of the blessing. For me, the God of Flesh and Blood ate the blessing directly,” Gao Ming technically wasn’t a member of the shadow world. The shadow world was ‘responsible’ for his many deaths.

Gao Ming turned to the hospital marked as home by Situ An. He tried to send his consciousness into the building, but he saw nothing.

“Was Situ An chosen to be a parent in that hospital?”

Gao Ming backed out of the city and took back his birthday portrait. The bone city before him collapsed. The bone and flesh crumbled.

“I can’t bring the map out of the Home of Butchers. That is quite troublesome. I can’t carry a door with me at all times.”

The east city investigation centre was Situ An’s territory. That was why he dared to hide the door there. Gao Ming hadn’t found a stable home. His current house was rented from the bakery boss.

“Never mind. I’ll leave first. Plus, I need to bring the investigators out of the door.” Gao Ming worked his body and reached his hand towards Su Mo.

Seeing this, Su Mo’s first reaction was to retreat.

“It’s a miracle for you to survive until now. It doesn’t matter if you’re a failsafe by fate.” Gao Ming helped Su Mo get up. “Your body has been strengthened. Keep your heart on the right path and survive.”

“Miracle?” Su Mo asked uncertainly, “Have I triggered the miracle chance in the map? Who are you? How can I call you? Why do you look so familiar?” Gao Ming didn’t answer. The first thing he did after leaving the room was to send a message to Xuan Wen.

Soon, all the players received a message, “Player, the silent lamb has triggered the miracle. Strong Body + 1! Yin Soul + 3! He has obtained the normal identity of Shadow World Han Hai’s Citizen.”

Gao Ming’s goal had been achieved. The people of Han Hai had found out about the horror game players. He also gained Situ An’s most important treasure.

“We can’t send this door into the death portrait. The door is connected to the real world on one side and the shadow world on the other. We have to carry it.” After Zhang Ding tossed Su Mo out, he tried to close the bloodred door.
