Global Collapse

Chapter 117 The Cellphone That Breaks Through the Dimensional Barrier
The group had already reached the middle of the lobby on the first floor.

Zhao Lei had vanished without a trace, and no one knew where he was hiding.

From the beginning until now, Zhao Lei has not shown much aggression, but he seems to have a close relationship with the ghost in the house.

Although they now know they are in a mirror world, how to get out is still a big problem.

Gu Mian had already touched every mirror he could see, and they were all very hard to the touch. He couldn't just bang his head against them to see if he could get through.

It seems we still need to follow the plot to find a mirror that we can use to get out.

Who is the ghost in the house?

Why does Zhao Lei suffer from frequent memory loss?

"How do I leave the world in the mirror..."

Gu Mian was speaking using parallel sentences.

At this moment, the fat man spoke with a puzzled look on his face: "Doctor, I remember there was a program that used your grammar before."

Xiao Zhang, who was standing next to me, spoke up: "Approaching Science, right?"

Why were hundreds of female donkeys braying in the middle of the night?
Why are condoms sold in convenience stores so frequently targeted by thieves?
Who committed the serial rape of sows?
Welcome to the next episode of "Approaching Science."

That's pretty much the opening line for getting closer to science.

But after the global game started, the fat man could no longer hear the show's warm and down-to-earth lines; the host probably lost his job.

I never expected to find that familiar feeling again with Gu Mian today.

The fat man offered a very serious suggestion: "Doctor, you have quite a talent for being a host. Once the world returns to normal, you could apply for a host position..."

Gu Mian has no plans to host the program "Gu Mian Tells Stories" for the time being.

He looked down at his phone: "This is the phone Zhao Guanhai has been using. Perhaps we can find some clues through this phone."

The long-neglected phone finally got over the white screen period and opened the only app that could be opened.

This should be software for recording calls, but it doesn't seem like it.

After opening the software, there are five neat rows of dashes.

That's right, it's a dash. To put it more vividly, it's like two dots side by side.

It's as if this was originally a phone book, but now all the names in the phone book have been turned into dashes.

Gu Mian pressed the arrow keys on the keyboard with some confusion, selecting the top row of dashes.

But before he could press OK, his own panel appeared.

[A phone that breaks down the dimensional barrier (mirror image)]

[Description: The original device was a special mobile phone developed by Toy Goose Company, but due to the extremely dangerous functions of this type of phone, it has been completely discontinued; this item is a mirror projection product with limited functions and can only be used five times.]

[Feature: Each phone has five dialing options;]

If the player is in a dungeon when making the call, an important NPC within the dungeon will be randomly selected for the call;

If the player is not in the instance when dialing, a random player with the strongest compatibility will be selected to make the call;

Please note that this item will only allow players or NPCs with mobile phones to make calls.

A phone that can call NPCs and other players? That's a great feature. But if it can only dial numbers from people who own phones...

In the real world, mobile phones have basically no communication function, but a considerable number of people still carry mobile phones with them, which they can use to check the time and for lighting.

Moreover, people still harbored illusions, probably thinking that maybe one day the signal would suddenly be restored.

So in the real world, someone would usually answer if you dialed a number. However, Gu Mian only had five chances, and he wouldn't dial a number for no reason to see who he would call.

After all, this thing is much more useful in dungeons than in the real world.

You can talk to important NPCs who have cell phones or telephones; who knows, a single phone call might unlock the dungeon.

However, the downside is that some instances are special and may not have any NPCs with phones, wasting a dialing opportunity.

This phone that breaks through the dimensional barrier comes from this instance, and it is very likely part of the plot development.

So Gu Mian didn't hesitate for long and reached out to press the confirmation button.

But just then, a phone call came in.

"What the heck?" Gu Mian looked at her phone screen.

There is no caller ID, nor are there any options to answer or hang up.

It was as if the call was just a formality, something you had to answer regardless of whether you wanted to or not.

Things unfolded exactly as Gu Mian had imagined; a man's voice came through the phone within seconds.

"Hey?"

Gu Mian didn't recognize the voice.

The fat man and Xiao Zhang next to him looked at each other, clearly neither of them had heard this person's voice before.

What is this? A new NPC?

Gu Mian was about to reply when another person's voice suddenly interrupted.

They recognized the voice; it was Zhao Guanhai's voice.

Both of their voices came from the phone. Gu Mian didn't feel like he had been pulled into a three-person discussion group. After a moment's thought, he realized: "This should be the call log between Zhao Guanhai and another man."

So even if he sings "Tante" into the microphone now, it won't have any effect on the two people inside.

Because it's just a call log.

"Brother Li," Zhao Guanhai's voice came through: "Do you remember what I asked you to do before?"

"I remember, of course I remember, looking for a job... But Lao Zhao, not to be rude, but with your qualifications, it's really hard to find one."

The man called Brother Li continued, "He's almost forty, skinny and small, and doesn't even know a single skill, yet he wants a high-paying job. This is difficult, very difficult..."

The group was standing in the middle of the living room.

Gu Mian was facing the inverted clock.

But just as the two inside were talking, Gu Mian noticed that the watch in front of her seemed to have returned to normal.

The author hasn't been feeling well these past few days, experiencing terrible writer's block. o(╥﹏╥)o
