Chapter 205: 0109

Situ An tried his best to build a resentment room, but success evaded him. However, the moment he ‘died’, a real big ghost appeared in his project.

“The investigators from the other districts wouldn’t have known the ghost is actually in this building,” Fu Ning’s expression was severe, “We can’t let them know this, or our situation will become worse. The people above have already suspected us of being spies of the shadow world.”

“Are they going to abandon us?” Fu San followed Fu Ning. Like what the old man said, he probably wouldn’t have expected the ghost to be right beside him.

“Situ An knows too many secrets. It’s one thing to be abandoned, but I fear they want to silence us.” Fu Ning shook his head. “You’re still young. You don’t understand these things. Sometimes, humans are worse than ghosts.”

Moving between the unfinished resentment rooms, Xia Yang inside Fu San carefully looked around. Situ An knew the resentment rooms very well. He built these rooms according to scale. Some of the resentment rooms had the cursed objects from the actual locations moved there. These were all perfect canvases. Each was soaked with horrible memories. Once he got close, he could hear the screams inside the wall and smell the blood in the air. Fu San took a deep breath and lowered his head, afraid that his father might see the excitement in his eyes. His fingers snipped and cracked. He was desperate to paint.

“I know you’re scared, but there’s no need to suppress it. I was very afraid when I first came here too. That is normal. You’ll soon get used to it.” Fu Ning looked at his son with love. He had a lot of hope in Fu San. “You’re acting much better than normal people would already.”

“Okay.” Fu San was scared that his emotions would be captured by his father, so he replied with only a single word.

They used the stairs and headed to the 12th floor. Once Fu Ning opened the door, the gun barrels aimed at him. The security members looked at Fu Ning and Fu San expressionlessly. They were like murder robots. The security at the east city was stronger and colder than the security sent from Xin Lu. It felt like their humanity had been stripped away. They became animals who would only listen to Situ An and their leader’s orders.

“Tell your team leader, He Yi, that Fu Ning is here.” Fu Ning stood there honestly. He knew that if he took another step, his head would be blown off. The East City security department was trained by Situ An. Everyone was scarier than a ghost. They had all been to the shadow world with Doctor Lu to take his mental medicine. They were more akin to ghosts than humans. Two security members said nothing and turned away. Minutes later, the two returned.

Compared to the resentment rooms on the 11th floor, the resentment rooms on the 12th floor were more ‘lively’. One could hear the sounds of screaming, crying and laughing from the rooms. The walls were crawling with strange red plants. They looked like creepers or knotted hair. Thick blood scabs lingered at the corner. They reeked horribly. Each resentment room had a red key. Sacrifices and candles were placed before the doors. The centre of the doors had a headless door guardian.

“I wish to draw a head for them.” Fu San grumbled in his heart.

A chilly breeze blew, and the candles flickered. When the light returned to normal, a very ugly man appeared before Fu Ning and Fu San. He wore the uniform of the security department. His skin was deathly pale. He had a pair of upturned eyes like snakes.

“Fu Ning, what are you doing here? Without the chief’s order, we will not leave this place.”

“The chief is missing. The Level 4 Anomaly is going out of control…” Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NʘvᴇlFirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Before Fu Ning could continue, He Yi interrupted him with impatience, “The things that happen outside don’t concern us. Even if Han Hai is destroyed, we will not move.”

“I know. I merely hope that when the danger arrives, considering our relationship…” Fu Ning pushed Fu San before him, “Bring my son with you when you retreat. I can die here, but he is still young.”

“Bring him with us?” He Yi studied Fu San, not giving an answer.

“The reinforcements from the other districts are coming. The counter-attack will start soon. I will take on all the pressure to help the chief so that you won’t be disturbed while you’re here.” Fu Ning said, “This is my only request.”

“He’ll only suffer if he comes with us. However, since this is your only request, I will consider it.” He Yi nodded.

Fu Ning sighed in relief, “How is the situation on the 13th floor? Have you figured out the reason behind the appearance of the big ghost?”

“The chief’s experiment appears to have succeeded,” He Yi pushed on his blood band. The info about a boy and a video appeared on the wall. “Live bait No. 0109, Ah Fang has not been taken a sacrifice. He wandered the many resentment rooms on his own and survived until now. The live baits tossed in before him had all perished. He is the only exception. We suspect No. 0109 has gathered all the resentment of the rooms on his body.” The boy on the screen looked around four. Bandage bound around his ankle. He wore a dirty dinosaur pyjama and played with a toy car inside the room.

“Is he talking to something?” Fu Ning frowned, “Is he the big ghost with the resentment room? What is his background?”

“His parents were volunteer workers at the charity headquarters. His family was poor. His family moved around to different cheap flats. According to the files, the boy was very understanding. He knew how to look after himself when he was young. He was often left at home alone, but he made no fuss.”

“Then, why was he chosen as the live bait?” Fu Ning frowned deeper. “Where are his parents?”

“They have disappeared in the anomaly. It was the previous Queens Investigation Centre Captain, Qing Ge, who brought this child back and sent him into the researcher’s lab.”

The boy seemed to sense people looking at him. He looked around before crawling to the hidden camera on the ground. Everyone stared at the screen with full focus. However, the child only waved his toy at the camera proudly.

“He looks like a very innocent kid,” Fu San narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t sense anything from the boy, but he saw a very scary presence in the room behind him.

“The big ghost will be weakened in the day. We’ll conduct another test at noon.” Hu Yi appeared to owe Fu Ning a favour. “I’ll bring your son with me when I retreat. But you need to leave now.”

The security members cleared a path for them. Fu Ning walked down the stairs, but Fu San stayed where he was. He cut open his palm with a smile and drew something on the strange plants that crawled all over the walls.

“What are you still doing there?” He Yi’s voice chilled when he spoke to Fu San. “Your father is still considerate towards you in the end. How sad. He doesn’t even know how much drugs our chief has given you, right?”

Fu San was startled and then shook his head.

“The chief is missing. You can come to me if you want more Soul Transfer Pills.” He Yi lowered his voice. “I only need you to do one thing for me behind your father’s back.”
