Global Collapse

Chapter 254 The Horror Game Driven to Madness

Ziliang swore that he had never seen such a heartless and insane person in his life.

As he watched Gu Mian on the screen reach out and open the classroom door at the end of the corridor, he suddenly understood why Gu Mian was the only one on the huge game wanted list.

The door was opened.

Sure enough, two startled little figures darted out of the classroom.

Liang'er and Fatty Wang, like poor classmates intercepted in the classroom by thugs, rushed out quickly and swiftly after Gu Mian opened the door, then ran away down the corridor.

It was as if being a step too late would result in being extorted for protection money by ruthless thugs.

Zi Liang even felt that the two ghosts were now escaping faster than when they were chasing them!

As the two ghosts on the screen passed by them, they all felt a slight chill pass through them.

Ziliang stared at the screen and gasped, even the handcuffs on his hands, which weren't completely removed, rattled slightly: "What happened?"

Were the two that ran away ghosts?
Who got the wrong script?
Or was he also hallucinating due to excessive shock?
Humans are actually chasing ghosts with a giant saw! This hallucination is quite ambitious!
Seeing Gu Mian in the game carrying a chainsaw and following after them, the fat man quickly ran several steps in the direction Gu Mian was heading: "Obviously, a doctor was chasing two ghosts and passing by us just now."

I understand the logic, but why the word "pursue"?

Ziliang's mind was a little dazed, but his body mechanically followed the fat man's steps.

At this moment, Chu Changge was staring at his phone screen as he spoke: "Gu Mian is chasing ghosts."

The fat man pursed his lips and said, "I saw it."

Chu Changge continued, "Gu Mian must have realized that he can't leave the game, so he wants to take special measures to leave."

The fat man nodded as he walked forward.

Special methods... He had seen this method countless times, so seeing it again was not surprising.

The doctor has another legitimate reason to do this dungeon... the fat man thought to himself.

Ziliang, standing to the side, spoke up anxiously: "What are you talking about? What special methods? It doesn't sound like anything good!"

He felt that from the moment his handcuffs were sawed off by the green-clad doctor, he had been drawn into something extraordinary.

Chu Changge did not answer him, but instead considered another matter: "I don't quite understand why Gu Mian would turn into a paper doll. Theoretically, it shouldn't be like this."

Ziliang was completely confused, but he didn't ask any questions. He just stared blankly at the phone screen without saying anything more.

He noticed that Gu Mian's image had reappeared on his phone screen.

It's different from before.

There was a corpse at Gu Mian's feet...

corpse...

Ziliang sniffed twice, giving him a look that said he'd just eaten shit: "Who am I? Where am I? What happened here?"

The ghost lying on the ground, with the name "Liang'er" marked on its head, seemed to be completely dead.

They didn't even have time to see how the poor little ghost was killed.

It's a shame this game has such low resolution; otherwise, they might have been able to see the blood and tears crisscrossing the ghost face...

Gu Mian in the game screen moved slightly.

[Gu Mian: We're one step closer to leaving this awful game!]

Ziliang opened his mouth slightly; he no longer wanted to speak.

He never imagined that one day he would encounter such an unconventional doctor in the dungeon, who, contrary to the usual human behavior of screaming when chased by ghosts, was instead wielding a chainsaw and wildly swinging it at the ghost! What was most shocking was that he actually managed to kill the ghost.

Some died, some fled.

Ziliang still remembers the previous dungeons he experienced, which were mostly puzzle-related, but he didn't experience any fun in solving puzzles in this dungeon!
"What happened? The dungeons were downgraded after the event ended. They went from puzzle dungeons to fighting dungeons?" Ziliang was still staring at the little figure lying dead on the ground on his phone screen.

At this moment, the fat man had already pulled him along to continue following Gu Mian's footsteps.

Zi Liang noticed that after Gu Mian stepped over [Liang'er] and took a few steps forward in the game, the little figure lying behind her suddenly came back to life, just like the villain in a TV series who, instead of being finished off by the protagonist, suddenly jumps up and tries to kill the protagonist from behind.

He instinctively called out, "Watch out!"

Even though he knew the person on the screen couldn't hear him, he still called out.

Unexpectedly, the little man who suddenly came back to life had no intention of fighting back at all. He just jumped up and ran off in that direction without stopping, as if a ghost was chasing him.

No, he himself is a ghost...

Ziliang watched silently as the ghost on the screen disappeared, and couldn't help but purse his lips: "Is this person in the game a deity?"

Gu Mian seemed to have noticed the movement behind her.

He glanced back and saw only the ghost's retreating figure.

He didn't pay any attention and continued walking forward.

Chu Changge and the other two followed Gu Mian around the entire school.

Wherever Gu Mian went, chaos ensued, even causing a pregnant hen to nearly miscarry—of course, the pregnant hen was a figment of Zi Liang's imagination.

At this point, Zi Liang finally understood how wise and brilliant his decision to follow Gu Mian had been.

At the very least, there won't be any ghost sightings within a radius of several hundred meters.

During this time, Gu Mian encountered many treasure chests, and he opened them all without exception. However, given his terrifyingly bad luck, there was nothing good in the treasure chests he opened.

Furthermore, since Gu Mian doesn't have an inventory, even if she turns into a paper doll, she still won't have one.

So he had no choice but to hang the items he obtained on his body. Before long, the three people watching from outside the screen saw Gu Mian turn into a moving Christmas tree with a chainsaw.

It was already dark by then. Summer days are very long, and it doesn't get dark until after seven o'clock.

It was already close to eight o'clock.

Nighttime is the perfect time for ghosts and monsters to appear, making it the most dangerous time in all horror instances.

It is indeed very dangerous now, but it's uncertain who is in danger...

Just as the energetic Gu Mian, adorned with flashing neon lights, was about to spin a second time in the game, the game seemed to have finally had enough, and a line of text appeared at the bottom of the screen.

There seems to be nothing left in the school; it's time to end this bizarre game.

Fatty and Ziliang looked at each other in bewilderment.

They must have been the first players to see this line of text.

That's right. If Gu Mian keeps going, the game will probably lose everything, leaving them with nothing. They figured the treasure chests in the school wouldn't refresh infinitely, and once they were gone, they were gone forever.

Even they themselves say they're bizarre; this game is probably going to be driven crazy...

I'll be updating like crazy next month, really! I swear on my reputation as a procrastinator!
