Ghost Story Game Designer

Chapter 672 Thank you, but I don’t want to be a human

"Please be careful with your words. It was because of my own risk that I gave you the opportunity to take my flesh and blood." Gao Ming looked around Gao Yun's office. It was too simple, just like a street office. Everything in the room was for office use.

"We have cooperated so many times, why do you care about such a small detail?" The student council president walked to the table. Behind him hung a huge map of the vast sea, covered with various annotations. "Are you still blaming me for not entering the black fog with you?"

"I will go into the black fog to find out the truth, and you stay in the vast ocean to preserve the fire. This is what we agreed on at the beginning. There is no need to complain." Gao Ming skillfully poured himself a glass of water and sat on a chair that was deliberately placed in the shadow.

Through the conversation between Gao Ming and the student council president, the group leaders realized that the two had a very good relationship and had cooperated many times without the knowledge of the Investigation Bureau.

Most of the territory of Hanhai is still managed by the Investigation Bureau. The ghost story players and the student union are not enough if they are taken alone, but if they had joined forces a long time ago, the situation would be completely different.

At least in the East District and the Old Town, they have completely squeezed out the Investigation Bureau.

"Every time you ask me for something, you always act like you've suffered a great loss." Perhaps because of the flesh fetus, the student council president spoke with a little more humanity: "You gained so much benefit in the black fog, turning everyone into dream ghosts in advance. Now you come to me, aren't you just showing off?"

"How far are you from becoming a dream ghost?" Gao Yun's real body is not here. He is hiding very deeply, and even the flesh and blood ghosts cannot sense him, so Gao Ming can only go and ask in person.

"I don't know. Maybe I can break through tomorrow, or maybe I will never take that step." The student council president touched the black dots on the map with his fingers: "I thought that by continuously expanding the ocean of collective consciousness, when everyone's will is concentrated to the limit, I can complete the transformation like Yan Xizhi, but obviously I underestimated the difficulty of becoming a dream ghost."

"Where is it stuck?"

"There are more than 300,000 members in the Hanhai Student Union, but my will can only deeply influence 10,000 of them." The president's finger slid across the map: "No matter how many there are, it's useless if they don't believe in me. I must make them willing to become a part of me and use their spiritual will as the paint for my nightmare. Only then can I build my own dream ghost."

There is no fixed way to become a dream ghost, Gao Yun follows the same path as Yan Xizhi.

"The student union you are in charge of has been rescuing people everywhere during the disaster and providing shelter for ordinary citizens. It has changed a lot from being an evil brainwashing organization that everyone hates to being accepted by the public. People's hearts are gathering step by step, and I can feel that you are also getting stronger." Gao Ming changed the subject: "But this speed is still too slow. I plan to confront the General Investigation Bureau. If you don't become a dream ghost, you may be in danger and you won't be able to create enough deterrence."

"Wait a minute? You're going to confront the Investigation Bureau, and you want to take me with you?" The student council president's gentle smile disappeared in an instant: "I know that every time you come to see me, it's not good."

"We don't have time." Gao Ming told the student council president the truth that he saw outside the vast ocean. The Dream Ghost is much weaker than an ordinary Unspeakable. Only by rebuilding the Blood City can they have a chance to control their own destiny.

After listening to what Gao Ming said, the student council president's facial features slowly changed, and Gao Yun's main will descended: "What do you need me to do this time?"

"I've made it very clear just now. The Investigation Bureau is a very complicated place. It's not safe for me to go there alone, so I want to ask you to come with me."

"When are you going?" The student council president did not refuse. He had secretly cooperated with Gao Ming many times and gained great benefits every time.

"Within three days." After getting Gao Yun's consent, Gao Ming and a group of team leaders left without any delay and went straight to Hande Private College.

The vehicle was speeding on the deserted road. A few kilometers away from Hande Private College, Gao Ming saw an extremely tall flesh and blood tree. It was formed by the fusion of phobia and Ji Zhe, a "flesh and blood ghost" transformed from the fear in everyone's hearts.

Before Gao Ming entered the black fog, the giant flesh and blood tree gave him three seeds. These three seeds later helped Gao Ming a lot in his nightmares. Gao Ming always kept this favor in his heart.

"This is the place I hate coming to the most. The fear of being manipulated makes me feel uneasy." The team leader looked at the towering tree with a frown on his face. "It's terrible."

This is indeed the worst era. Phobias break out, all kinds of difficult-to-deal-with evil spirits appear, the bewitching Student Union occupies the East District, the Investigation Bureau representing the living is constantly weakened, and the shadow world cruelly encroaches on the city; but this is also the best era. The players of ghost stories grow rapidly, and the pioneers even see the real sky outside the window and bring the truth back to the prison.

Among the countless vast oceans that Gao Ming had seen, the ocean they were in was not the most powerful, but it was the one with the greatest hope of subverting everything.

The vehicle drove into the campus and stopped in front of the giant flesh and blood tree. Gao Ming searched near the trunk for a long time and finally saw Ji Zhe, who had merged with the giant tree, deep in a tree hole.

After becoming a dream ghost, Gao Ming was finally able to try to separate Jizhe and Phobia.

"Old classmate, long time no see."

Hearing Gao Ming's voice, the dead branches fell, and Ji Zhe's body, which was pierced by roots, moved. He slowly opened his eyes, and there was no blood in his pupils, but countless fine roots.

"Gao Ming..." Ji Zhe's voice did not come from his mouth, but came from the tree trunk and echoed directly in the tree hole.

"The three seeds you gave me helped me a lot. Now I have the ability to take you away." The power of flesh and blood was spreading, suppressing the fear, like a gorgeous flower blooming in a dead tree. Gao Ming was about to take action, but Ji Zhe stepped back and wrapped himself in the branches.

"What are you doing?"

"The scene of us going to school together is always in my mind. Eventually, you all graduated, but I stayed behind." Ji Zhe hid himself deep in the tree hole, away from Gao Ming: "Before I met you, I was a ridiculously ordinary, marginalized invisible person. It was my phobia that gave me the opportunity to be the protagonist and let me have life experiences that I never dared to imagine."

"You don't want to be yourself again?"

"I would rather be a ghost that everyone is afraid of than to be a humble and pitiful person who is ignored." Ji Zhe's voice echoed far away in the tree hole. The phobic portrait seemed to be hidden in his heart: "I know the owner of the portrait is not me, but I will do better than any of them. I can assure you and Principal Yan that the fear will continue to spread, but it will never get out of control."
