Chapter 22 - Battle Royale that ends before it begins

 "That's not it!It's him who's lying!"Su Mo shook his head frantically, "That ghost doesn't leave any traces when he kills people!"

 "You're not an employee of Unicorn Games, how do you know his surname is Ma?Why do you call him Manager Ma as well?"Xia Yang twisted his head to look at Su Mo.

 "It's what the ghost said!That ghost knows Manager Ma!The ghost just died suddenly from working overtime!I really didn't do anything!"Su Mo really wanted to cry, he just wanted to live hard, but fate had to push him in some strange direction.

 "It's better to control the two of them first."Gao Fate looked around, habitually looking for ropes or something like that.

 "You guys trust me!He's really a ghost, this delivery guy stayed in the lift with the corpse, and he tried to kill me!"Manager Ma heard High Life talking about tying him up and seemed to be worried about losing his freedom as he ran towards the safe passage shouting, "You're all going to be killed by him!The ghost is in him!"

 Busting through the security door, Manager Ma ran towards the floor downstairs where the Unicorn Games studio was located.

 "Who do you think are the good guys?Who's the bad guy?"Xia Yang didn't chase after him, and turned back to High Life.

 "You keep an eye on the delivery man first, I'll go explain the situation to everyone."Gao Life ran back along the corridor to the Night Light Game Studio, the staff didn't even pay attention to the text messages in their phones.

 "Is Wei Dayou still not back?"Gao Life looked into the room, the workstations were empty a few more times, and there was only one intern left in the office, Wang Missy, who stayed honestly: "How did Li Xie and Zhang Wang also run out?"

 "It seems to go to the toilet."

 "You guard the office, after they come back, let them never go out again!"Gao Life took out his mobile phone to make a call, but none of his colleagues could get through: "There are four floors in the gaming venue, apart from the staff of Night Light Studio, there are also employees from other studios there, we have to gather everyone together within an hour!"

 Gao Life now didn't know how many living people were working overtime within these four floors, although this game gave players a buffer time of one hour, the difficulty was still quite high.Little Bookbag Novels.com 789

 Unable to contact his colleagues, Gao Life ran towards the utility room again, Xuan Wen was a psychological crime serial killer ghost in the middle of the love game, she possessed eyes that could penetrate the hearts of the people, and an IQ and EQ that far exceeded that of normal people.

 With her there, she was able to help Gao Ming a great deal.

 Pushing open the door of the utility room, Gao Ming saw a very special scene.

 It seemed that because Xuan Wen did not belong to this game, those shadows were frantically rejecting her, wanting to drag her into the depths of darkness.

 At this moment, Xuan Wen's body was entangled by the shadows, the black veins that had originally surfaced on her skin buried into her body, and an aura that made people stay away from her escaped from her body.

 "If I hadn't gained the emotions of those 10,000 people, I might not have been able to play the game with you again."Bloodshot eyes looking towards High Life, Xuan Wen seemed to have survived that most painful stage, beginning to get used to the variety of voices and extreme emotions in her head.

 "You woke up at the perfect time, a new game was triggered."Gao Life helped Xuan Wen up, his palms were a bit uncomfortable as Xuan Wen's skin didn't have the slightest bit of warmth, like a dead person, "Why does it feel like you've become a bit unlike your usual self since you entered the game?"

 "Not like that?"A large amount of shadows still converged around Xuanyuan Wen, "Didn't you say that the room temperature one is not as good as the one with ice?"

 "I'm talking about milk tea."

 Gao Man wanted to drag Xuan Wen out of the shadows, but as soon as his hand reached out, those shadows seemed like sharks that had smelled the smell of blood and came tearing towards Gao Man!

 In the moment of crisis, the chain that contained Zhao Xi's memories and obsession quietly appeared, allowing Gao Man to avoid being attacked by the shadows.

 "Wearing someone else's bracelet and still connected to someone else's bloodline."Xuan Wen cocked her head and stared at Gao Life's arm, not knowing what she was thinking.

 After leaving the jumping game, Gao Life carried Zhao Xi's pain and memories on his back, and the chain itself wasn't considered a weapon, but more of a binding.

 "So the veins that Zhao Xi's memories coalesced into can still be used like this?"

 It took a long time for the two of them, Gao Ming and Xuan Wen, to combine their efforts to dispel the shadows covering Xuan Wen's body, allowing her to temporarily regain her freedom.

 "Why do these things keep staring at you?"

 "I've deviated from the destiny trajectory designed for me in that world, and these shadows are correcting the mistake.Last time, it should have been because of this reason that caused me not to enter Zhao Xi's game."Xuan Wen seemed to understand something, "I want to become the same as you, but it seems like this is something that that shadow world won't allow, and it wants to drag all of this city into the shadows."

 "Let's not talk about that for now."High Life took out his mobile phone, "Did you receive this text message?"

 Xuan Wen opened her own phone, her inbox was blank, gamers didn't include her.

 "You're not a living player, could it be that you've been assigned the role of a ghost?"One of the scenarios that High Life was most worried about - the murderous ghost was Xuan Wen, and Xuan Wen happened to be out of control.

 "Why do you have such a bias against the characters you designed?"Xuan Wen slowly approached, "You always speculate about me from the worst possible perspective, do I represent your dark side?You leave it to me to realise the things you usually want to do, but don't dare to do?Is that why you have a criminal serial killer ghost in your heart?"

 "I asked you a question, how many did you ask me in return?"High Life opened the door to the utility room, "If it's not you, hurry up and find the real ghost, we only have an hour."

 To help Xuan Wen get out of the trap, Gao Fate took too long, "The creepy monsters in the game all seem to be endowed with some abilities by that unknown world, such as Zhao Xi jumping off a building and not dying, and you can be immune to physical damage, what's your ability?"

"It's an ability related to the human heart, I can see and hear ..." Xuan Wen said halfway through her speech, she lowered her head in disbelief, then slowly slumped to the ground.

 "What's wrong?"

Odd up: "It seems that people have times ... and ghosts are not much different."

 Realising that something bad had happened, Gao Life immediately ran to the night light office, and there was still only intern Wang Missy in the house.

 "Where are the others!"

 "I don't know."

 With Xuan Wen in tow, Gao Life came back to the lift entrance, where Su Mo was curled up alone in the corner, her face pale.

 "Why are you the only one here?"Gao Life grabbed Sume's clothes, "Did someone come here just now?"

 "Someone was screaming in the hallway, and my big brother who was watching me went downstairs to look for someone."Sukmo didn't think Gao Life was a pervert now, he grabbed Gao Life's arm with both hands, "Brother, I'm really not a ghost!But I really hit a ghost today!That ghost wanted to play with us to death, it's psyche is completely twisted!"

 "You stay here."Gao Life and Xuan Wen pushed open the security door, and a strong smell of blood hit their faces.

 An hour had clearly not yet elapsed, the ghosts had not awakened, yet people had already been killed!

 Heart pounding, Gao Fate pushed open the door to the twelfth floor, and the corridor was dead silent.

 Then they came to the eleventh floor, where blood stains and various traces of struggle began to appear on the floor.

 "Someone is taking this opportunity to hunt the other staff!"

 The ghost's game had turned into a human game, and the level of gore and terror was even more terrifying than a ghost awakening.

 There was not a single living person around, only blood.

 Pushing open the security door on the tenth floor, a large amount of blood splattered on the walls, and High Life followed the bloody shoe prints on the floor all the way to the vicinity of the props room of the Unicorn Game Studio.

 "The centre of the bloodstains is right here."

 Gao Life grabbed the door handle of the props room, and as he was about to open the door, the shadows enveloping this layer unexpectedly began to slowly fade!

 The blood stains and stench also receded along with the shadows, as if they were all swallowed up by another world.

 "The game is over?Someone killed the person possessed by the ghost?"High Life looked at his mobile phone, thirty-six minutes had just passed since the game started, and he hadn't even done anything yet.

 "It's so cruel and crazy!"Xuan Wen's hand reached into the shadows, "It's obvious that someone was ready to kill everyone but themselves in order to escape the game.He killed the staff one after another and didn't stop until he finished off the unlucky one who was possessed by a ghost."

 High Life was silent, he had always been careful of the shenanigans in the game, but in reality, the viciousness shown by people was even more terrifying.

 "Firstly, we can be sure of four things, the murderer should have experienced other games, so he immediately started to act after receiving the text message and seeing the familiar shadows; secondly, the murderer was amongst the survivors; thirdly, the murderer seems to possess a little bit of Gui's power, otherwise there's no way for him to take out so many people in a short period of time."Xuan Wen walked in front of High Life, "Fourth, the murderer wasn't me, we were together at the time of the crime."

 "I know it wasn't you."Gao Fate pushed open the door to the prop room with force, dolls and portraits fell all over the place, but the blood stains and bodies were receding along with the shadows.

 He rummaged around the room, and in the end, he only found a black-and-white posthumous photo of the group photo of the first working group of the Unicorn Game Studio, who were extremely capable of doing business and the most rolled up working group within Unicorn Game.

 "There are seven people in the photo ... seven living people."

 Gao Life's hand holding the photo was a little unsteady, and Xuan Wen grabbed his wrist, "Are you developing a sense of guilt?Actually, what does this have to do with you?You're also just a victim, even if you die to apologise for your crime, there will be other horrors that will appear."

 "If I die, will the game I designed disappear?"

 "No."Xuan Wen shook her head, "They would all go out of control and the city would lose its only saviour."

 "You're quite comforting."
