Global Collapse

Chapter 240 Gugu’s explosive update
Fatty glanced at Ziliang, who was huddled up next to him: "Don't worry, this place isn't very close to the door. She'll have to press her eyes against the vent to see us."

Of course, the fat man didn't say these words directly, but instead frantically used his eyes to hint at them, trying to make Ziliang understand what he meant.

Fortunately, Ziliang couldn't understand what the fat man was implying at all, otherwise he would definitely have been frightened by his terrifying description.

At this moment, the extremely timid Ziliang was tightly gripping his phone, listening to the noises coming from outside the bathroom door.

The sound was moving very slowly.

Ziliang felt like it would be at the toilet door any second, but at the same time, it seemed like it was still a long way off...

But overall, the sound was getting closer and closer.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The slow, dull sound kept coming from outside, and eventually the two people in the bathroom almost started beating in sync with the slow "thump-thump" sound.

As the sound grew closer, the two heard what sounded like hair rubbing against the ground.

By the way, that ghost's hair was dragging on the ground, very long, and that sound was coming from her hair.

The fat man suspected that if Gu Mian were here, she might take the opportunity to stomp on it.

Unfortunately, Gu Mian wasn't there, and neither of the two people present had any intention of stepping on the female ghost's hair.

The sound was getting closer and closer...

The dull thud of pestling finally reached the doorway.

The fat man heard a slightly louder thud outside, followed by silence.

But this harmonious silence did not last long, and a rustling sound followed immediately.

It seemed like something outside was moving its head, moving closer, and she was looking inside.

In the cramped corner, Fatty and Ziliang huddled together tightly. Fatty's belly was tucked into a flat shape, like a deflated balloon that had been pricked with a needle.

The two of them stopped breathing involuntarily, as they could almost feel a malevolent gaze sweeping in from outside the door.

In those few silent seconds, Ziliang even suspected that he and the fat man had been seen.

Fortunately, the things outside did not take any further action.

Just as the two were holding their breath and almost suffocating, a thumping sound rang out.

It left.

Ziliang then began to breathe slowly and secretly, like a shy young girl.

Only when the sounds outside faded into the distance and finally disappeared did the two people in the toilet dare to make a sound.

"Did we escape?" Ziliang glanced at the ventilation window below the door with lingering fear; now all he could see was the floor.

They must have dodged it...

The fat man wiped the sweat from his brow and looked towards the ventilation window: "As long as we don't follow the tropes of supernatural novels when we go out..."

Ziliang is very familiar with the formula of supernatural novels. The general process is something like "being chased by a ghost", "thinking that he has dodged the ghost", "turning around and finding the ghost right behind him".

Thinking of this, he felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously pressed himself against the wall behind him. Although there was some dirty stuff on the wall that he didn't know what it was, now was not the time to worry about such things.

He glanced at his phone, a chill running down his spine. The screen still showed him in the bathroom, but the two little figures on it seemed to have calmed down.

[Wang Pangzi]: It seems she's gone. Let's get out of here quickly.

[Liang'er]: Hmm... But this toilet is filthy, it seems like something happened here. Should we stay here and explore for a while?
An option then appears at the bottom of the screen.

[Would you like to explore the 'dirty toilet'? This exploration will take twenty minutes.]

The fat man glanced at Ziliang: "Are you planning to explore?"

Ziliang stared at his phone screen: "Theoretically, we should explore, but this damn exploration time is just too long!" Who knows if that damn thing will suddenly come back and search again.

"Let's get out of this awful place. It looks like that ghost went upstairs." Ziliang said hesitantly.

He knew that exploring might be a much better option than leaving, but those twenty minutes were truly daunting.

The fat man clearly didn't want to stay in this place for another twenty minutes either. He nodded and said, "Let's explore this godforsaken place slowly when the doctor arrives."

doctor……

Perhaps because he was poisoned by Gu Mian, Zi Liang now associates the word "doctor" with the sound of a chainsaw.

He still remembered the crisp sound of the handcuffs snapping after being sawed in half by the chainsaw. To be honest, although he had experienced quite a few dungeons, it was still a considerable number, and this was the first time he had ever known that handcuffs could be opened like that...

"Okay," Ziliang selected "No" at the bottom of the screen, then glanced towards the door: "Let's go first..."

He then said that he had put his phone in his pocket. Ziliang was still afraid that he would see something else if he opened the door, so he was always ready to run away.

At this moment, the fat man took a deep breath and reached for the toilet door.

Fortunately, this toilet is good because it's useless; even if you take a deep breath, you won't feel nauseous.

Ziliang clutched his pocket tightly, staring intently at the fat man who pushed open the door.

Immediately afterwards, a creaking sound came from the door, and the fat man pushed the door open.

After pushing the door open, the fat man first cautiously opened a crack to peek outside. Seeing that there seemed to be nothing outside, he then mustered up his courage and pushed the door open.

The laboratory was now completely empty; not a soul was to be seen.

Once he felt safe, the fat man stepped out.

Ziliang followed closely behind. Because the door always made a creaking sound when it was open, he carefully closed it after he came out.

The fat man rubbed his hands together: "Let's go check the other door on the first floor first, see if it's locked."

If both doors are locked, their only option is to escape by jumping out of the second-floor window.

Slamming the door is absolutely out of the question. Who knows how fast ghosts move? If they hear a noise and teleport to the first floor, we're doomed.

The fat man spoke as he lifted his foot to leave.

Just then, Ziliang, who was standing next to him, suddenly bent down as if he had noticed something and stared at the ground with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" The fat man put his foot down again and turned to look in Ziliang's direction.

Ziliang was staring intently at the ground beneath his feet, a puzzled expression on his face.

The fat man bent down and looked in the direction of his gaze. He saw a bloody footprint on the ground not far from the toilet entrance.

The bright red color looked as if it had just been printed on.

The fat man was certain that there was nothing like that on the ground outside when the two of them ran into the toilet.

This definitely wasn't left behind by the female ghost from before.

The fat man remembered that she moved by slamming her head into the ground, so it was impossible for her to leave such a thing on the ground.

“This is…” the fat man frowned.

Then he noticed that the direction of the footprint was a little off.

Its toes were pointing directly towards the toilet!
The fat man, who was bending over, subconsciously looked towards the toilet and saw a face pressed tightly against the vent, staring intently at him.

GuGu has done some quick calculations and it's time for a massive update! Auntie's going to do a massive update tomorrow! Nobody can stop me, hahaha!
