Global Collapse

Chapter 253 Even if I'm just a pigeon

As the fat man jogged towards Gu Mian, he said, "Hey, Brother Chu, even if we go there now, the doctor won't be able to see us."

He paused here, then continued, "Since the doctor went in through that door you mentioned, why don't we go in through that door to find the doctor too... But will we die if we go in?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Changge glanced at him and said, "Remove 'isn't it'?"

Fatty: "..."

At this moment, Ziliang was panting as he followed Chu Changge and the other person: "To be honest, I still don't quite understand what happened. How come everyone else is dead? How did this doctor become worth 30,000? And why was he chasing after someone with a chainsaw..."

He remembered that he was the one who had been chased and was running away screaming.

Just then, the fat man reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Theoretically speaking, you could also chase after someone with a chainsaw, but you won't be able to catch up for more than a few steps."

Ziliang shrank his neck. Did this mean that if he chased after the ghost for two steps, he would be killed by it?

However, it's quite impressive that you dared to run a couple of steps behind a ghost.

Just then, Ziliang suddenly saw something appear in front of him on his phone screen. Upon closer inspection, he saw a hideous chainsaw.

Upon closer inspection, there's also a little figure carrying a chainsaw.

The little figure had the words "Gu Mian" blatantly displayed above its head, seemingly arrogantly declaring, "Kill me and you'll get 30,000 game coins!"

Of course, Ziliang didn't have the guts to kill anyone, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to do it.

He couldn't very well jump into the phone screen and pull out the doctor carrying the chainsaw.

At that moment, the fat man noticed a line of text suddenly appearing at the bottom of the phone screen.

Because this game is a silent game, all the sounds in the game are presented as subtitles. When there is a "thump thump" sound in the game, the subtitle "thump thump" will naturally appear at the bottom of the screen.

At this moment, a "dong dong" sound appeared at the bottom of the screen.

A strange 'thumping' sound came from the corridor ahead.

People outside the game could only distinguish the sounds in the game by the subtitles, but Gu Mian in the game could clearly hear the sounds coming from the corridor in front of this little broken game.

He touched the chainsaw in his hand and walked towards the corridor where the "thump-thump" sound was coming from.

Ziliang looked at his phone screen and flinched.

Since the real world and the game world are synchronized, if a "thump-thump" sound is coming from the end of the corridor in the game, then there must also be that sound in the end of the corridor in the real world, they just can't hear it...

Moreover, the voice sounded just like the upside-down female ghost they had heard in the lab before!

Thinking of this, Ziliang suddenly shuddered, then grabbed the fat man's sleeve: "Wait a minute!"

Knowing full well that there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den, that's either Wu Song or a fool!
Moreover, what lies ahead are monsters even more terrifying than tigers.

Just as Ziliang was hesitating, wanting to say something like, "Why don't we observe here for a while?"

He felt his wrist suddenly being grabbed by the fat man: "Stop dawdling, big man, hurry up and catch up."

Upon hearing this, Ziliang was dragged forward by the fat man like a dead pig.

Because at that moment, Gu Mian on the phone screen had already rushed up.

Ziliang wasn't as strong as the fat man, and he was too afraid to act alone, so he was half-heartedly dragged forward by the fat man.

As he was being pulled, he kept thinking things like, "I'm going to die."

After being dragged along for a while, Ziliang suddenly felt relieved: "Oh well, we're all together anyway, dying together might at least make things a little warmer..."

The fat man next to him was rushing forward, staring at his phone screen. He hadn't heard Ziliang's words clearly and turned to ask, "What?" Ziliang quickly shook his head, "Nothing..."

Just then, Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "Gu Mian seems to be looking for a way to leave this game. It seems he can't get out through that door."

Because Chu Changge doesn't talk much, Ziliang listens very attentively every time he opens his mouth.

After listening very attentively, Ziliang subconsciously glanced at the phone in the fat man's hand and then saw a magical scene.

[Gu Mian: Judging from the sound, it should be coming from a ghost banging its head on the ground, but I've been walking for so long, where is the ghost?]

Where is the ghost?
Is this something a person can say?
Meanwhile, text continues to update at the bottom of the phone screen.

The strange 'thumping' sound seemed to be fading away.

wrong!

Ziliang stared at the screen and shook his head frantically; this was different from the script they had been given.

Last time in the laboratory building, after this sound appeared, they fled desperately, running away without daring to look back.

Why is the script different now?

Moreover, the fat man was still earnestly pulling himself forward, as if he had forgotten how he had been chased and scrambled for his pants not long ago.

What happened?
For a moment, Ziliang's mind went blank.

Chu Changge continued, "I guess Gu Mian can't go back to this world through that door, so he thought of another way. He probably doesn't want to be a paper doll for too long."

As soon as Chu Changge said that, the fat man immediately understood.

If this instance is gone, wouldn't Gu Mian appear?
Moreover, they won't need to return to their original world; they'll go straight back to the real world from this broken game.

Ziliang, standing beside him, was still completely bewildered: "What's wrong? Did that doctor think of another way to leave the game? It's true, being a two-dimensional character all the time is really tough... But can we stop going any further? I remember those two ghosts that have been following us were heading this way!"

"Don't be a coward," the fat man tugged at Ziliang, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Ziliang didn't quite understand why this fat man would sometimes suddenly become confident, and with a very serious and firm confidence.

Just now, he could actually say "nothing will happen" with such a straight face. Ziliang blurted out, "Where do you get your confidence from?!"

At this moment, the fat man finally turned his head and glanced at Ziliang: "Speaking of which, you seem to have a very small heart."

Ziliang shrank back: "Nonsense, anyone would become timid when they encounter terrifying ghosts, even though I used to be a great ghost story writer..."

As the fat man hurriedly followed Gu Mian's footsteps on the phone, he asked, "So you entered this game to test your courage?"

What a load of crap!
Ziliang didn't actually say those three angry words. Instead, he paused for a moment before saying, "Right now, in the real world, there's a power outage and no food. If I don't go into the dungeon, I'll just starve to death!"

Even if they don't starve, the lack of electricity alone is enough to make them suffer.

Without lingering on the topic for long, the fat man looked at his phone again: "Well, you're really unlucky."

Ziliang: "..."

This doesn't sound like something a player suffering from hunger and power outages would say. This fat guy looks really rich!

Just then, Ziliang noticed that Gu Mian on the phone screen had stopped. He was standing at the door of a classroom, which seemed to be the classroom at the very end of the corridor.

[Gu Mian: The sound got softer and softer, then disappeared. I didn't hear any sound of someone coming down the stairs. That ghost must be in there!]

Ziliang stared wide-eyed at Gu Mian's restless little hand on the classroom doorknob on the screen, then looked up at the classroom door at the very end of the corridor in front of him: "Holy crap! What are you doing!"

Even if I were a pigeon, you would forgive me, right? (Coo coo coo!)
