Global Collapse

Chapter 175 Gu Mian's Ecstatic Joy

There were only a few words being spoken outside, and then silence.

Gu Mian was still wondering which group of enemies were outside when he heard several rustling footsteps.

Because the night was very quiet, the sound was quite clear.

At the same time, there seemed to be a sound coming from behind him, like the sound of clothes rubbing together, but the noise was very faint, as if someone was moving secretly behind him.

Gu Mian knew that there was nothing behind her except a large mirror.

At this point, he had already counted to "74".

In the darkness, a subtle sound kept coming from behind, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer.

On the stairs, the fat man was rushing upwards at high speed. There were some shelves and other things on the stairs, which seemed to have been left by the film crew, which hindered the fat man's progress, so he had to slow down.

Meanwhile, Bai Yuhu and his companions had already arrived on the second floor and were quietly making their way to the tightly closed room door.

Pipeng whispered, "Boss, did he hear us all along?"

"Whether he heard us or not, he can't escape now," Bai Yuhu said. "There are four of us here. He's someone who can't even improve his physical abilities. At most, he can only take on three people."

“Although I heard he has a chainsaw, it’s no problem,” Bai Yuhu said as he approached the door. “We have weapons too…”

"We'll block the door, and even if he grows wings, he won't be able to fly out. How much is he worth now?"

Pipeng blurted out, "Fifteen thousand game coins, sixty attribute points, and six super rare special items... But boss, he's been on the wanted list for so long and he's been safe and sound. I'm afraid we've run into a brick wall."

Bai Yuhu smiled slightly: "That person told me that Gu Mian is safe and sound not because he is powerful, but because someone covered up his name. Otherwise, with his physique that has not improved at all, he would have died countless times outside."

Pipon fell silent.

Bai Yuhu continued, "But he won't be able to keep this name secret for long. Soon other players will probably know Gu Mian's characteristics, so we need to act quickly!"

He sighed again at this point: "Originally, I wanted to test his abilities before making a move, but recently the military has been keeping a close eye on this area, so it's impossible to make a move from outside. Moreover, we can't stay here any longer. I plan to leave immediately after this event. If we don't make a move now, I'm afraid we won't have another chance, and then someone else will benefit."

Gu Mian is like a walking gift package; everyone wants to go up and unpack it.

Pi Peng followed silently behind Bai Yuhu, feeling that things wouldn't go too smoothly.

At this moment, Bai Yuhu had already led his men to the tightly closed door. He listened carefully to the inside and heard counting coming from within.

"88, 89, 90..."

It was indeed the doctor's voice.

But what's that kid doing in there? Bai Yuhu paused for a moment.

But he didn't hesitate for long before giving a wink to the person next to him.

The people around immediately dispersed slightly, guarding each direction of the doorway with resolute expressions, awaiting Bai Yuhu's command.

Bai Yuhu leaned slightly towards the door.

All that could be heard from inside was the count of "94".

His intuition told him that if the people inside counted to one hundred, something bad would happen. Without much hesitation, just after the number "95" was uttered, Bai Yuhu gave an order and led the other three people to rush into the room.

Just then, the fat man darted over from a distance and witnessed the entire scene.

The burly leader, his face contorted with rage and a triumphant smile, gave the order and led his henchmen to ram the door. The door, however, was exceptionally fragile and was easily flung open, making the leader's smile even wider.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man saw that grinning, ferocious face disappear into the house, along with the body below its neck.

His henchmen didn't hesitate either, and filed in one after another with flashlights, as if afraid that the people inside would run away.

"It's over!" Seeing this scene, the fat man stomped his foot, pulled the pot from his back, and ran towards the direction, shouting, "Doctor, I'm coming!"

Gu Mian was counting in the dark room when he suddenly heard a loud shout from the doorway, which startled him.

When I looked up again, the door had been kicked open, and the light from outside shone in, but the room was still very blurry, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

Gu Mian only saw a slightly ferocious face appear outside the door.

This face is comparable to the ghost that pulled the curtain earlier. Gu Mian only saw the ferocious expression on that ghost's face for a moment, but this person in front of her is different. The ferocious expression on his face lasted for two whole breaths.

"Gu Mian!" Gu Mian heard the person in front of her call her name.

He recognized this person; he was one of those people who always listened to them and stared at them before entering an event.

"Ha!" Gu Mian heard him make a cheerful sound: "You're not getting away!"

This behavior is exactly like that of a stubborn young man who coerces respectable women.

Gu Mian thought she should appropriately shout "No! No!" a few times.

The man seemed to have no intention of wasting words; his hand reached slightly towards his waist, as if to pull out some weapon.

At the same time, three more people rushed in from behind the big man. They were carrying flashlights, and the bright flashlight beams illuminated the dark room, making Gu Mian's eyes hurt.

Even though his eyes hurt, he stubbornly kept them open, wanting to see what these people were up to.

Just as the bright flashlight beam filled the entire room, Gu Mian suddenly noticed that the burly man at the head of the group turned pale. He stared wide-eyed, as if he had seen something extraordinary.

Immediately afterward, his ferocious expression, which had lasted for two breaths, suddenly changed, turning pale, shocked, and mostly filled with fear.

At this moment, the expressions of the people behind the big man also began to change in the same way, and one of them even took two steps back slightly, almost tripping over the threshold.

“That…that is…” someone uttered a terrifying sound.

Gu Mian realized that these people were staring at the mirror behind him.

He tilted his head slightly, as if trying to see what was in the mirror behind him.

At this moment, the fat man finally ran to the door with the pot in his hand.

The first thing he saw was the stiff figures of four people. One of them was facing the fat man from the side, and the fat man could easily see the expression on his face.

The four people were staring at a large mirror in the room, their faces pale and their expressions terrified.

The fat man looked inside and saw a white-clad female ghost, seemingly skinless, slowly crawling out of the mirror. Her hand was already outstretched.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man saw Gu Mian looking back at herself in the mirror.

Amidst the horrified gazes of the other four, Gu Mian turned and glanced at the mirror.

Then, to the astonishment of the others, he revealed an expression of ecstatic joy.
