Horror Game Designer

“What do you need me to do?” Fu San’s finger traced the wall. His eyes wandered about like he was reminiscing about the taste of Soul Transfer Pill. The mention of the pill made the worms in Fu San’s heart move. This ‘realistic’ reaction satisfied Fu Yi.

“The Soul Transfer Pills come from the shadow world. Our great chief Situ An has a home in the shadow world.” Fu San started to tell everyone Situ An’s secrets since he believed Situ An was dead. “There are a lot of Soul Transfer Pills at his home. Not to mention the weaknesses of all the big shots at Han Hai. It is also where Situ An keeps his research on the ghosts.”

Fu San was intrigued by the things He Yi mentioned. The portrait he drew on the wall was almost complete.

“However, it is very hard to enter that home. I know where it is. Your father knows what things to prepare to summon the door. The logistics manager, Jiang Chan, has the door key.” He Yi’s ugly face blocked Fu San’s sight. “I need you to get the identity of the things from your father. After I enter Situ An’s home in the shadow world, I’ll give you all the pills you want.”

“So that home is Situ An’s real inheritance. He has hidden his stuff in the shadow world.” Fu San’s portrait disappeared into the wall. He thought for a long time before nodding.

“You better go before your drug withdrawal kicks in and get the stuff I want. Don’t let your father figure out anything. After all, you’re his only pride.” He Yi led his people away and entered the corridor with a laugh.

Fu Ning, who was waiting in the 11th-floor elevator, didn’t ask much. He returned to the seventh floor with Fu San, “Ah San, despite your tough appearance, I know you’re a nice kid with a kind heart. Dad has a lot of hope in you, but things have changed. I only have one demand of you. Take care of yourself and put your own safety first.” This was Xia Yang’s first time being praised. He smiled gently.

“When you’re a father like me, you’ll understand.” Fu Ning and Fu San entered the office deep on the seventh floor. The other three team leaders from Wan Zai Investigation Centre were there too. “The day is breaking. The cleaning activity focused on the anomalous citizens in the east city will begin soon. I called you here to clarify one thing. We joined the investigation centre to protect Han Hai and our family, not to be the centre’s blade.”

“Chief, do we really have to kill the suspects as per the headquarter’s orders? They look just like normal humans. What if we get it wrong?” Team 2 Leader opened the document sent down from the headquarters, “After the ghosts possess a living human, they will showcase five anomalies. Once they fit three anomalies, we can ‘cleanse’ them. This is basically giving the investigators the right to kill. I worry this will lead to chaos!”

“Haven’t you read the back of the document? The cleanse has to be done away from the eyes of the public. We’re only doing this to protect the public better.” Team 3 Leader said mockingly.

“Is the reinforcement from the headquarters here? I hear they are led by that legendary character.” Fu Ning signalled everyone to quiet down.

“The people are not here, but they did send us some equipment. It’s something created by the researchers from Xin Lu.” Team 3 Leader placed a black helmet on the table. “Apparently, you can use this to differentiate between normal humans and possessed victims. However, if you ask me, this is a lie. The helmet can be remotely controlled. The helmet can edit the wearer’s view so that every human the wearer sees will be a ghost. That way, the wearer will have an easier time killing them.”

Fu Ning put on the helmet. After some adjustments, he looked around. His eyes paused on Fu San for a few seconds before turning away.

“It’s useless.” Fu Ning tossed the helmet on the day. “You’ll follow the investigators from the other centres for the cleanse during the day. However, you have to come back before the night arrives. Ignore the headquarter’s orders. They don’t deserve us dying for them.”

“Chief, do you have another plan?” Team 2 Leader noticed something.

“You only need to know that I will not harm you.” Fu Ning was tired. “Is there anything else?”

“The citizens have a lot of opinions about us. I believe there is a shadow group behind it.” Team 2 Leader showed the videos. There were protesters at Queens 13th Street. “They demand to enter the centre and be shown the truth so that the missing and the dead can be put to rest.”

“The missing?” Fu Ning’s face darkened.

“Chief Situ An has been missing for less than twelve hours, but some people already can’t wait to tear him down. Many negative news about him appear online. Some of them are horrifying.” Team 2 Leader wiped the sweat from his face. “The chief made himself into the model of Han Hai in the past. Now, he is knocked down from his pedestal. We might be impacted by the flames.”

“It’s fine. We can let those people in at night.” Fu Ning said expressionlessly. “These people want the truth, and we’ll see if they can handle the truth.”

The team leaders thought of something, and everyone shut up.

“Just follow my orders. Work with the headquarters in the cleansing during the day and return to the safe zones at night. Let those who want to find the truth and grab the chief’s inheritance enter the east city investigation centre at night.” Fu Ning’s expression was scary. “Give them what they want. We just need to survive.”

“It looks like things will be busy at the east city investigation centre at night.” The few leaders could imagine the horrible scene. Those who were cleansed in the day would come back as ghosts to take revenge at night.

“Fu San, you don’t need to participate in the cleansing. You stay here to teach the newbies. For many of them, this might be the last time they can see the light.”

After everyone left, Fu Ning stood beside the office table. He looked at the black helmet on the table. He aged in a moment, and his eyes didn’t shine as bright as before.

Fu San closed the door behind him and drew a small person on the door. “Gao Ming’s eyes in picking the game venue is not bad. If he wants to do a bad thing, he is worse than the tragedy.”
