Jing Tuoshen had already given up on this piece of divine meat, but the situation changed.

After ensuring No. 9’s soul had perished, he touched the white band on his wrist and ordered, “Bai Xiao has passed the Stage 3 test! Prepare for rescue!”

The waiting security members rushed underground. Bai Xiao singularly held back all the malice. The security members were not affected and easily entered the old home. They didn’t directly approach the dresser. Instead, they split into pairs and rearranged the furniture inside the room to destroy the place’s Feng Shui. Then, they took out a string of rope covered in corpse oil to drag the dresser out of the main bedroom. When the dresser was fully out of the old home, the members finally dared to move forward to open the dresser doors.

The malice and shadow were like a mutated flower in the abyss. It bloomed as the doors opened. Its petals unfurled and spread throughout the entire underground space. Bai Xiao lay in the middle of the flower.

The faces of the other investigators flashed across his face. He was under unimaginable pain. The whole process lasted for a whole hour before it ended.

The flower of malice started to wilt. All the malice gushed into Bai Xiao’s body. It took root inside his heart, and many ghost tattoos were painted on his chest. As Bai Xiao screamed, the wilting tattoo of the flower of malice became clearer. Bai Xiao successfully united with the piece of divine meat. He was not beaten by malice and still had control of his body.

The researchers walked over to admire Bai Xiao as they would a piece of masterpiece.

“Congratulations on obtaining the ticket to a new world.” Jing Tuoshen’s beautiful eyes danced with excitement. “However, to obtain the complete divine tattoo and gain the power that surpasses the leader of Security Team Four, you still need to participate in the Stage 4 Test.”

Bai Xiao merely obtained a piece of the divine corpse. To fully control malice and reach the same level as K, he needed more. The fully-exhausted Bai Xiao opened his eyes. He looked around. The old home had transformed. These researchers had all the chances in the world to save the investigators, but they not only didn’t do that but also purposely turned the old home into an altar to cultivate the divine corpse.

“Do we need to send him to the headquarters hospital?” The security member said so, but he didn’t move. They looked at Bai Xiao with envy. “This guy sure is lucky.”

“Lucky?” Zuo Jun scoffed. “After he entered the dresser, he murdered all the investigators taken over by malice while being affected by malice. If you were him, could you do that?”

Strange patterns surfaced around Zuo Jun’s uniform collar. The security member lowered his head and became quiet.

The security members were delineated into different levels. Those who stayed in the headquarters had the highest level. Then, it was the group that came back from Xin Lu’s taboo game. They only heeded Wan Jie’s orders. Finally, it was the normal security members.

“Go and conduct tests on his body. If there’s no big issue, toss him into the room for the Stage 2 Ghost Tattoo Test. We desperately need people who can fight against the big ghosts.”

Jing Tuoshen wanted to snatch the blade away from Bai Xiao. However, even though Bai Xiao was unconscious, he didn’t let go of the knife. Jing Tuoshen pulled out a syringe and wanted to give Bai Xiao a shot. Suddenly, the siren blared. He turned away from Bai Xiao and rushed back to the observation room. “What happened?”

“We just received reports from various centres. The rate of anomaly occurrence has tripled overnight! There are four Level 3 Anomalies! There are sightings of unknown mud figurines in the anomalies!” The workers sent the videos and images taken from the frontline to Jing Tuoshen. With Li San Hospital as the centre, all kinds of strange figurines appeared in the old city. They spread twisted faith and took over the living humans.

“The anomalies caused by these figurines are spreading very quickly. Among them, a faceless figurine has taken over a whole apartment building in mere hours. Those who worship it will lose their memories until they become a faceless monster.” The workers reviewed strange pictures daily, but even they were stunned this time.

“Contact Wan Jie immediately. Get his people over there.” Jing Tuoshen flipped through the reports. The situation at Han Hai was getting worse.

“We’ve already contacted them. However, Captain Wan Jie led his people to Bo Wan Village to go after K’s killer,” The worker said timidly.

The air chilled. Jing Tuoshen slowly raised his head. “They are the ones who created the issue at Li San Hospital. Go and tell Wan Jie that if he doesn’t return to the old city before dawn, the consequences will be heavy.”

The worker nodded solemnly. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

…

Gao Ming escaped from the security members. To avoid the ever-present surveillance, he had to use the power of the ghosts to return to the old city. Gao Ming lit up the only candle in the room after he entered Zhang Ding’s home. He knocked on the blood door and called some names. Several minutes later, wet fingers reached out from behind the door.

Hearing Gao Ming’s voice, Zhang Ding and the others from the supermarket walked out of the shadow world. They met up in Zhang Ding’s old room.

“What’s wrong with him?” Zhang Ding pointed at the old man’s self-portrait on the wall. Xia Yang was defeated twice by the security team. He was filled with hatred.

“Probably menopause.” Gao Ming took the main seat. The small living room was filled with ‘people’.

Since his departure from the tunnel, Gao Ming turned fate around. He gathered all who could help him resist the east city investigation centre.

The strongest Zhang ding sat beside Gao Ming. The blind man who had recovered slightly curled up in the shadow. He placed himself back in the big dog’s body.

The art teacher and sports teacher from Han De Private School guarded the door. Xuan Wen held a cup and turned over the pages of a book.

Gao Ming’s friend, Wei Dayou, and Bai Xiao’s little sister, Bai Qiao, sat together. The representative from Bo Wan Village stood behind them.

On the other end of the table, there was Si Sui Apartments’ Granny Shen. Beside her was Li San Hospital’s insomniac patient, Mr. Yi.

Each of them represented a different party. Only Gao Ming could bring them together.

“Right. We had a guest yesterday.” Zhang Ding suddenly said. He opened the blood door again and led a high-school student in the student council uniform through. The young man wore the badge of the student council and looked very similar to the president of Han De Private School’s student council president.
