Global Collapse

Chapter 329 Werewolf and Dog
The girls declined for a while, but finally chose one who could serve customers.

[Successfully matched with the dungeon 'When Darkness Falls (High-Spec Version)']

[Matching you with teammates, please wait...]

"Close your eyes when it gets dark?" Gu Mian stroked her chin in the darkness. "It seems like this was a murder mystery game before the global game started, right? Something like Werewolf, with two camps: werewolves and villagers. The werewolves kill people at night, and the villagers vote to eliminate others during the day. The first side to be eliminated loses... But why does the name of this instance seem so familiar?"

At this moment, the fat guy next to him suddenly interjected: "I remember this dungeon, Doctor, do you remember that super long list of dungeons that were shut down after the New Year's Day event?"

An extremely long list of accounts that have been shut down...

Upon hearing Fatty's words, Gu Mian immediately remembered: "I was saying... wasn't there a low-budget version of 'When Darkness Falls' on that super long list of shut-down dungeons?"

At this moment, Chu Changge, who was standing next to him, also spoke up: "That's right."

The fat man shrank his neck: "These two instances aren't brothers, are they?"

Judging from this, it seems like the younger brother was killed and the older brother came out to seek revenge.

At this moment, several more lines of text appeared in front of Gu Mian.

[Number of players in the instance: 6]

[Content: 'When Darkness Falls, Please Close Your Eyes' is a game that has swept through countless middle schools. Six players will take on the roles of students who have played the game before. After the six players have played the game, a series of bizarre events will follow.]

Main Quest: Eliminate the 'Ghost'

After seeing the last line of the main quest, the fat man was filled with emotion. Gu Mian might not be good at other things, but she was good at getting the ghost out of the game...

Gu Mian didn't share the fat man's sentiments. He looked at the dungeon content in front of him and said, "This dungeon is really outrageous. They even dare to put the haunted location in a school. Aren't they afraid of being targeted by the Great Light of Socialist Harmony?"

As soon as Gu Mian finished speaking, light rushed in from all around.

Gu Mian has gotten used to the change in surrounding environment from dark to light every time she enters a dungeon.

The fat man wasn't used to it yet. When the light came in, he instinctively covered his eyes, as if the light had stung them.

Just as their eyes were filled with sunlight, a very familiar phrase came to their ears. Even the fat guy, who hadn't attended class for many years, was slightly taken aback when he heard it.

"Your PE teacher is busy today, so I'll teach this class."

It's a very familiar excuse.

Gu Mian subconsciously looked in the direction from which the sound came.

I found myself in a bright classroom. To my left was a row of huge windows. The sun outside was already setting, and the orange afterglow shone through the bright windows, turning the students' snow-white school uniforms into pale gold and even their hair glowing with a warm light.

Gu Mian was sitting in the second-to-last row, so she could see everything the people in front of her were doing.

There stood a young female teacher on the front platform.

Her hair was neatly draped down her back, and her light brown sweater reached her knees, over which she wore a brown plaid vest, making her look very youthful.

She must be a teacher who recently graduated.

After the students announced the bad news that their physical education class had been taken over, the students in front of them didn't react much, as if they were already used to this kind of thing.

Only the fat man, who was to Gu Mian's right front, turned his head at an angle and winked at Gu Mian.

The setting sun's rays shone through the window onto his face, making the already unattractive, overweight man appear even more grotesque. This slightly grotesque face, of course, also stung the teacher's eyes.

"Wang Pang!" Gu Mian knew who the teacher on the podium was calling from that name. "Why are you making those faces?"

The fat guy's game nickname was "Fat Guy with the Surname Wang," which was obviously not suitable for an immersive dungeon, so the dungeon specially changed his name for him.

As for how to find out your name in the instance...

As Gu Mian pondered this, he looked down at the Chinese textbook he had tucked under his arm. He silently opened the cover, and the words "Class 5, Grade 11, Gu Mian" on the title page dazzled his eyes.

Gu Mian silently tore off the page with her name on it, crumpled it up, and put it in her pocket.

The copy is a different way of punishing him by name!
However, Gu Mian wondered if Chu Changge's name "Chu Meiren" could still be used, as she looked around.

Just as he looked to his side, a smiling face suddenly came into Gu Mian's view.

"Holy shit!" Gu Mian almost cursed out loud.

The teacher on the podium was still lecturing the fat boy and did not notice Gu Mian's unusual behavior.

At this moment, Gu Mian was slightly widening her eyes, staring at the person sitting next to her, her deskmate, at that face...

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Mian's deskmate, who was smiling with his eyes narrowed, seemed to notice his unusual behavior and stared at him strangely.

Gu Mian calmed down and shook her head: "It's nothing."

There were no distorted features or horrific blood on this face.

On the contrary, it was an extremely clean and ordinary face, only that it looked somewhat familiar.

Gu Mian had seen this face once before in a previous instance, but it did not belong to any player.

Gu Mian remembered the last time she saw this face was in a dungeon called 'High School Ghost Stories: The Hidden Game'. It was a dungeon about a school. This person was the first classmate Gu Mian saw after entering the dungeon. It was this smiling face who told her the details of the dungeon. To sum up this person in one sentence, he was a somewhat useful NPC.

The instance in the game "Hidden God" collapsed as expected, but I never expected to see this person in another instance.

Gu Mian now strongly suspects that the person next to her is a player who has hidden their player information, rather than an NPC.

How can an NPC appear in two instances?
By this time, the teacher had already finished his ideological work with the fat boy and had returned to the podium to start lecturing.

The fat man dared not turn around and wink anymore.

Gu Mian saw his deskmate lazily slump on the table after confirming that he was alright, so he casually flipped through the book his deskmate had placed on the table.

The title page bore the inscription: "Class 5, Grade 11, Xu Xingcheng"

His name is Xu Xingcheng?
"Speaking of which..." At this moment, his deskmate suddenly turned around, and Gu Mian quickly closed his book.

"What?" Gu Mian looked at him, pretending that she hadn't done anything.

Xu Xingcheng didn't notice his unusual behavior either. Instead, he lowered his voice and looked puzzled: "I heard that you played a game with some people during our autumn outing a few days ago?"

They were probably referring to the game "When It Gets Dark," and Gu Mian's silence was taken as confirmation.

Seeing this, Xu Xingcheng continued, "Do you remember who the werewolf is?"
