Chapter 89: Familiar
Gao Ming was familiar with Xuan Wen and her personality. Even though she would say some crazy words, she always kept a respectful distance from Gao Ming.
“Just make her go. Don’t push yourself too hard.” Xuan Wen lay on the bed and stretched.
“I understand every word you said, but it sounded so weird strung together.” Gao Ming ignored Xuan Wen. He tapped his heart. The chains carved with sins crawled out of his flesh. Li Luxin didn’t expect to see Gao Ming at Xuan Wen’s place. She was shocked. “Who are you? Why do you feel so familiar? Have we been in love before?”
“Not true.” Gao Ming walked forward. Before the tragedy arrived, he was not afraid of these monsters since he had the God of Flesh and Blood.
“I know you!” The cute face looked at Gao Ming with admiration. Her eyes shone with innocence. “If I don’t kill her, she’ll kill me! She is crazy! Don’t trust her!”
“If I don’t trust her, should I trust you?” The mutated heart pounded. The death memory pulled on the blood vessels. God was awakening.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Li Luxin dropped her bloody knife. “I have been searching for someone. Maybe that person is you. I hope you can trust me. She is very dangerous! She will kill you!”
“In terms of physique, she is much weaker than the other female characters. If I were here, I would try to push my weakness and innocence. After I gain the other party’s trust, I’ll take out another blade and strike.” Xuan Wen rambled as if to herself.
Hearing that, Li Luxin’s eyes shook. She walked towards Gao Ming. After two steps, she suddenly lunged and took out a thin fruit knife from her back. The blade echoed with the screams of women. Gao Ming didn’t move. The God of Flesh and Blood appeared behind him. The eight arms slammed down heavily.
“Even if I take out the chains, it doesn’t mean I’ll use them.” The single attack smashed half of Li Luxin’s shadowy body.
“My face!” She screamed. However, it was too late. Her beautiful body was captured by God. Before Gao Ming could speak, Li Luxin was pulled into the mutated heart. The face of Sin became clearer, and the jawline softened. The God of Flesh and Blood was more hardworking than Gao Ming. It tried very hard to make itself stronger.
After Li Luxin was imprisoned, Gong Xi pulled out a shadow from her back and tossed it away. The shadow contained the cries of another woman. She was not consumed by God and was released by Gong Xi. The room returned to silence. Only a fruit knife and a branded purse remained where Li Luxin was.
Xuan Wen walked over with her gloved hands. She opened her backpack and found a blank death portrait among the different make-up. “She only managed to kill one person after so long?! How weak.”
“How come it feels like you’ve been prepared for this?” Gao Ming had Gong Xi return to his heart. He started to clean up the traces.
“Do you expect me to be waiting to be killed?” Xuan Wen opened her dresser. It was filled with various gadgets. With a smile, she handed the blank portrait to Gao Ming, “You’ve shown me your trump card. What if I want to kill you in the future?”
“You won’t,” In Gao Ming’s endless death memories, Xuan Wen appeared occasionally. She always ended up returning to the shadow world.
“You sure have confidence in me.” Xuan Wen removed her gloves and stared at Gao Ming’s heart. “I envy them because they can live inside Big Brother’s heart.”
“Be normal.” Gao Ming looked into the dresser. He saw how ‘prepared’ Xuan Wen was. She was on a different level than Li Luxin. “It looks like my worry was unfounded.”
“It was not. At least I’m not that averse to your existence anymore.” Xuan Wen closed the dresser. “The world is huge. It’s not easy to find someone who’s willing to brave the storm to help you deal with a corpse.”
This was the first time Gao Ming didn’t know what to say. He opened the fridge to pour himself a glass of cold water. “You should drink less cold water. It’s not good for your stomach. Also, do you want me to prepare some food for you to keep?”
“Leave it empty. I want to use it to store dead bodies.” Xuan Wen said calmly.
Gao Ming’s glass paused. When he heard Xuan Wen, he put the glass back down.
“I was kidding.”
“I’m really not thirsty.” Gao Ming waved at Xuan Wen. “Remember to apply for the job with the proposals tomorrow. I’m leaving.” Gao Ming closed the door, put on his raincoat and hurried to leave.
Hearing the running footsteps, Xuan Wen chuckled. “Actually, I was afraid.”
…
Gao Ming ran all the way home and opened the door with his key.
Hearing the sound, Wan Qiu sat up on the couch while carrying Fa Cai. When he saw Gao Ming, his nervous gaze calmed down. However, he soon raised his innocent face and asked in surprise, “So fast?”
“What do you think?” Gao Ming removed the raincoat. “Get to bed. We have many things to do tomorrow.” The death memories gave Gao Ming glimpses of the future. He wanted to use these pieces to make a new path for himself. After the shadow, Gao Ming slept on the couch. The storm continued. However, ever since Wan Qiu was there, the rental home felt a lot warmer.
At 6 am, someone knocked on the door. Wan Qiu, who was a light sleeper, got Gao Ming’s permission and opened the door.
“Sorry for the disturbance. I have some questions.” With the black uniform, black band and ruined face, Gao Ming recognised the man instantly.
“Who are you? Why did you enter people’s homes without asking?” Gao Ming frowned and said with impatience.
“My name is Qin Tian. I’m from a special department. This is my junior, Zhu Suisui. In the future, we’ll stay in Li Jing Apartments until certain truths are exposed.” Qin Tian’s expression was severe like the last time Gao Ming saw him.
“Did something happen?” Wan Qiu carried the sleepy Fa Cai. “The police cars haven’t moved and a cordone is set up. Everyone is scared.”
“I can’t say anything for now.” Qin Tian walked to the balcony and pulled back the curtain. “You can see into the building opposite from here. The night before last, did you see anyone strange enter Building 2?”
Gao Ming shook his head. He really didn’t think he was a strange person.
“Please give it some thoughts.”
“I can’t think of anyone.” Gao Ming repeated it.
“Why did it explode? And so serious?!” Qin Tian was befuddled. He was about to ask more questions when his black band vibrated. Captain Chen Yuntian’s voice came through.
“Ol Qin, Queens Investigation Centre is wiped out. The new temp chief want to investigate this thoroughly. Many experienced investigators will be transferred over. I need you come back now!” “But the incident at Li Jing Apartments can’t be ignored! I can’t leave.” Qin Tian whispered into the band.
“The east city is the heart of Han Hai. Come back first. We’ll discuss this.”
The voice disappeared. Qin Tian sighed. “Do the lives of the common people worth less?”
“Are you going to the east city?” Gao Ming heard everything. Last time, he led Qin Tian to clear a Level 3 Anomaly. It was why Qin Tian was picked by Situ An and died at Si Sui Apartments.
This time, Qin Tian was moved to the east city since Queens Investigation Centre was demolished. No matter what, fate would move Qin Tian to the east city.
“My disciple and junior will stay here to help. If you have any questions, just refer to her.” Qin Tian walked past Gao Ming to the door.
“Wait…” Gao Ming uttered.
“What’s wrong?” Qin Tian paused. “Did you remember anyone suspicious?”
“I’m good at reading people since I was young.” Gao Ming grabbed Qin Tian’s hand. “After you got that call, death clouded over you. If you go to the east city, you’ll die.”
“Thank you but I don’t believe in these things.” Qin Tian patted Gao Ming’s hand. “Death is not scary. If my death is even a little useful, that’s enough.”
