Chapter 683: How is it Related to Me?

“Wang Jie, why are you here?” Wang Chou didn’t look like a senior to Wang Jie. They didn’t appear to be familiar with each other.

“The old man wanted to help my eldest uncle and sent you over. He sure has a favourite.” Wang Jie walked over the blockage, holding his knife. The blood on his body splattered onto Wang Chou. “I call you my little uncle because you’re older than me. However, if you think you can pull rank over me, you must be dreaming.”

“You can shut up and no one will miss your voice.” Just as Wang Chou said that, something flashed before his eyes. The next second, a penetrating pain shot from his palm. Wang Jie’s knife pinned his hand to the hood of the car.

“If you die here tonight, will the eldest uncle’s family mourn you?” The threat was clear. Wang Jie’s eyes burned with hatred.

Cold sweat drenched his face. Wang Chou clamped his mouth shut despite the pain. Seeing that, Wang Jie pulled out the knife and turned to Gao Ming. “Sorry, you have to witness that. My family is a bit complicated. They might look like humans, but they are more cunning than ghosts.”

Through their conversations, Gao Ming had a brief grasp of the situation. Elder Wang wished for Wang Jie’s eldest uncle to take over the family business. He purposely sent Wang Jie away so his eldest uncle could intercept Gao Ming.

Gao Ming was not interested in their internal power struggle. He just wanted to rebuild the Blood City. However, the Wang Family in the South City couldn’t be ignored. “I don’t care about your family business. I’m here to look for Gui Yuan.”

“The new Dream Ghost? Sure. I’m familiar with it.” Wang Jie wiped the blood from his knife. “Its appearance has to do with our Wang Family after all.”

At that moment, the people who came with Wang Chou made many hidden gestures at Wang Jie but the latter ignored them. “So many people have died, and so many resources have been wasted. However, they created a monster that refused to submit. That is the handiwork of the future leader of the Wang Family.”

“Your eldest uncle created Gui Yuan?!” Gao Ming was really shocked. Most ghosts couldn’t take the last step but Wang Jie’s uncle created a Dream Ghost.“It was a coincidence. Eldest Brother merely followed the flow.” Wang Chou ignored his bleeding hand and tried to explain.

“Get in the car and follow me.” Wang Jie ignored Wang Chou. The other people didn’t dare to stop him. “I’ll explain on the road.”

Gao Ming entered Wang Jie’s black jeep. He glanced at the backseat that was covered in murder weapons. However, compared to the jeep, the weapons were well cared for. They were like knives loved by a chef. “You need to get yourself checked out.”

“We’re old friends, and that is how you greet me?” Wang Jie still looked handsome and graceful. Many girls would fall for him. Unfortunately, he didn’t like humans and only enjoyed the process of snuffing a life out. “I’ve saved at least a thousand people since the tragedy. The horror game players in this zone refer to me as their boss and that’s because I’m in love with murder.” With one hand on the wheel, Wang Jie tossed Gao Ming a box of cigarettes. “The eldest uncle is valued by the old man the most. My fake eldest brother is now the captain of the headquarters’ North Port Investigation Centre. My sister-in-law manages the shipping company. My eldest uncle is the captain of the South City Investigation Centre. They collectively control ⅔ of the Wang Family.”

“I’m not interested in your family issue.”

“Do you have to be so heartless?” Wang Jie was not annoyed. If anything, he laughed. He could be himself when he was around Gao Ming. “The old man wouldn’t be with us for long. Everyone should get a fair share, but my eldest uncle is too greedy. He planned to sacrifice a Dream Ghost to take over his siblings' shares. That should be fine, but the issue was… he really succeeded.”

Wang Jie’s hands that grabbed the steering wheel popped with veins. He desired violence and power, but his eldest uncle had created a Dream Ghost, an existence that normal humans couldn’t fight against.

“Even though the Dream Ghost doesn’t listen to him, he is the creator. It is undeniable. The elder will consider the Dream Ghost’s influence.” Wang Jie searched in a bag and handed Gao Ming a document. “This is everything I have on the Dream Ghost. I’ve been trying to find its weakness to take it down.”

“A human wants to take down a Dream Ghost?” Gao Ming was certain Wang Jie wasn’t replaced by the shadow world because even a ghost would not have such a crazy thought.

“Why don’t we work together? I heard from the old man that Han Hai can only have seven Dream Ghosts. After killing Gui Yuan, the next Dream Ghost might be among the horror game players.” Wang Jie looked fanatic, but Gao Ming regarded him with confusion.

“Why seven?”

“I don’t know. I believe the old man got it from the headquarters. He has his own information channels. By the way, the channels have been handed over to my eldest uncle. How can people not get jealous?” Wang Jie grumbled. Gao Ming was deep in thought. Han Hai could sustain nine Dream Ghosts but the headquarters told Elder Wang seven. Did that mean the investigation centre headquarters had two Dream Ghosts?

Gao Ming turned over the files, and the first line caused Gao Ming’s pupils to tremble. Gui Yuan first appeared in the old city. It was made from many similar wishes. After an analysis was done on Gui Yuan, Gui Yuan’s first wish or its core wish, was, “I wish my mother and father could be with me forever.”

A normal person would think this was the wish of many children who desired their parents’ love.

Gao Ming didn’t think that way. He thought the line was very familiar. It invoked the death memories in his torture room. Whenever he was reborn in the tunnel, he would return to Li Jing Apartments. His parents would appear with a birthday cake to celebrate his birthday. It would be the same cake, and they’d celebrate the same 18th birthday. Gao Ming felt like his parents’ memory was trapped on that day.

The day was repeated. The candle was blown out, and the wish was made again and again…

“My parents can stay with me forever?! Didn’t I make that wish?”

Since his parents told him that his wish wouldn’t work if he said it in his heart, he always uttered it out loud in front of his parents.

The immense power of the wishes became a supernatural event. However, that shouldn’t be enough to turn it into a Dream Ghost. Gao Ming tried to be patient and continued reading.
