Global Collapse

Chapter 251 How lonely it is to be invincible

Gu Mian did indeed encounter a small accident, a very small accident, so small that it couldn't be smaller.

Compared to Fatty and Ziliang, he was relatively safe, for the time being...

At this moment, Fatty and Ziliang were running frantically.

The fat man spat at the doctor: "No wonder we came in as students. These ghosts are also students. Everyone's school uniform is the same, so we can mistake the ghosts for our own characters. This is just to confuse us."

As he spoke, he quickened his pace, trying to run even faster.

“Theoretically speaking, we shouldn’t need to run when we encounter a ghost,” Zi Liang’s breathless voice came from ahead. “Fatty, you’ve never heard of anyone winning a race against a ghost, right?”

The fat man glanced at him abruptly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you believe that this lousy game will throw you into the sports meet dungeon next time, just to race against ghosts?"

Ziliang shut his mouth. Although he was a bit cheeky, his body was still very honest as he ran forward as fast as he could, even though he knew he couldn't outrun the ghost.

The two ghostly figures behind them were getting closer and closer, almost within five meters of them. If they stretched out their arms a little longer, they could touch them...

Just then, Ziliang suddenly seemed to remember something: "That's right, traps! The traps in the game were prepared for them!"

His shout made the fat man realize something.

Since these little people represent ghosts, wouldn't it be wonderful to have them stand on the trap?
They were afraid to stand on the traps before, for fear that if their character died, it would affect them.

Who would have thought that these characters had absolutely no connection with them? If there was any connection at all, it was that the characters wanted to kill them.

The fat man found that he had indeed become bolder, and he could even think of such random things in such a critical moment.

Unfortunately, even if they stand on the trap now, the ghosts might not follow. The ghosts behind them seem to have lost control.

While frantically running for his life, Ziliang muttered, "It must be that unreliable doctor of yours, or that unreliable four-eyed guy, who did something!"

The fat man retorted, "You look like a four-eyed guy too!"

Ziliang, mouth agape, frantically ran for his life: "Forget about all that nonsense, let's run towards the trap! Even if they don't stand on this thing, they won't dare go through it, right? We can use this to shake them off!"

That makes sense. The fat guy has already started thinking about where the nearest trap to them in the game is.

As luck would have it, it happened in the first-year high school building, which was just two buildings away from them.

They probably wouldn't even have time to run over before the ghost caught up with them and tore them to pieces.

The fat man didn't want to experience being torn apart by five horses; if he had the chance, he'd like to go dancing on a gravesite...

Ziliang, unaware of what Pang was thinking, kept nervously looking back.

Closer... even closer!

The ghosts behind them could touch them with just a reach!

"It's over, it's over..." Ziliang almost cried out.

He had gone through many dungeons while handcuffed, and had finally managed to accumulate a little bit of resources. He didn't know how much would be deducted from his resources if he died this time.

The real world has changed. If resources are insufficient, you are very likely to be eliminated. To put it nicely, you will be eliminated; to put it bluntly, you will die without even your underwear.

Just then, he suddenly heard the fat man's surprised voice behind him.

"doctor!"

This skill is quite a surprise!
Ziliang was certain that no matter who came at this critical juncture of life and death, he wouldn't be overjoyed.

Even if his great-grandfather, who had been dead for many years, suddenly jumped out of his grave and stood in front of him, calling him "grandson" with affection, he wouldn't be very surprised.

At this moment, the fat man's tone was even more joyful than if he had seen his deceased grandfather.

Upon hearing the sound, Ziliang immediately looked up, but did not see the chainsaw.

He glanced at the fat man suspiciously. Were his eyes wandering? But then he noticed that the fat man's eyes weren't fixed on anything in front of him; they were fixed on the phone in his hand.

Seeing this, Ziliang silently shifted his gaze to the phone in his hand...

Suddenly, a small figure appeared in the picture.

[Gu Mian: Damn it, why did I turn into a pixelated little person?]

[Gu Mian: Damn it, why have I become so flat?]

[Gu Mian: Damn it! What are those two things rushing towards us?]

Gu Mian?

The name flashed through Ziliang's mind. He thought for half a second, then suddenly realized, "I remember you!"

"You remembered nothing," the fat man slapped Liang on the head, then ran forward again with all his might. "Wait, how did the doctor get into this game? I need to find a safe place to check!"

At this moment, Ziliang was staring blankly at his phone screen.

They saw that Wang Pangzi and Liang'er, who were following behind them, had already met Gu Mian, who was catching up with them.

Gu Mian inside seemed unaware that he and the fat man were desperately trying to escape in reality.

[Gu Mian: Why have these two characters changed shape? They don't look like the characters Fatty and the others registered...]

Although the doctor on the screen expressed doubt, his body language betrayed him as he pulled out a chainsaw.

Even in pixelated images, the grotesque, meter-long chainsaw looked terrifying. Zi Liang felt as if the chainsaw might burst out of the screen and sever his dog's head.

The images on the screen are constantly changing.

The fat man glanced back and discovered that the two ghosts behind him had vanished.

He glanced at the screen again, and sure enough...

[Gu Mian: Why did you guys just rush over like that! It's terrifying!]

[Gu Mian: Why did you turn around and run away again?]

Fatty: "..."

Ziliang: "..."

The fat man swallowed hard, then cautiously spoke into his phone screen, "Doctor?"

Ziliang also casually called out the same thing.

Gu Mian on the screen did not react.

[Gu Mian: I just opened a door, and I never expected to run into something so strange. Speaking of which, is this inside that disappearing game?]

Ziliang was devastated: "He really did open that terrifying door that Chu Hang had mentioned!"

The fat guy started to argue: "If you had that dorm key, you would have opened the door too, wouldn't you?"

Ziliang shut his mouth and fell silent.

"Could the doctor have entered the game world through that dormitory door?" The fat man plucked a hair in frustration. "Did those missing people disappear because they were dragged into the game? But those ghosts could come into the real world just now..."

Although the ghosts chasing them are gone now, things seem even stranger.

Ziliang stared intently at the screen, seemingly trying to deduce Gu Mian's three-dimensional form from the flat little figure.
