Global Collapse

Chapter 346 Sexy Gugu, Distributing Lunch Boxes Online
Yue Nu gripped the paper tightly in her hand, thinking rapidly in the darkness.

She had been alone since dinner and had not received any clues, so she naturally did not know which vote to cast.

This game... she could probably forfeit, but she would never do such a thing.

On the first night, it is very likely that most people will not get any clues and will give up.

However, if eleven out of twelve people abstain, and the last person suddenly jumps out and votes for someone else, then the player with the only vote will be eliminated.

Yue Nu didn't know if things would develop this way, nor did she know if she would be the unlucky one.

But everything is possible.

Therefore, in order to protect herself, she had no choice but to cast her vote for one of the remaining eleven people.

However, deciding which one to vote for is also an art.

As Yue Nu thought about it, she quickly glanced at the paper in her hand. It contained the names of twelve people, the twelve players who participated in the "When It Gets Dark" game.

Although it has been confirmed that 007 is a dungeon player, the dungeon rules do not state that dungeon players cannot play as ghosts, Yue Nu thought to herself.

Then she turned her attention to the most prominent name among them—Gu Mian.

This is a name known almost worldwide; killing this name will earn you 30,000 game coins.

Thirty thousand game coins is something I never even dared to dream of.

However, she doesn't yet know whether Gu Mian is an NPC or a player in the instance. Even if he is a player, killing him in the instance won't help; she has to actually kill him to get the 30,000 game coins.

I didn't dwell on the name for too long.

Although she longed to do something for the owner of this name, she could only dream about it.

Yue Nu continued looking down, her gaze settling on the name at the very bottom—"Zhang Pingfan".

This person is the best candidate for voting. Yue Nu doesn't know anything about the others, but she knows the name Zhang Pingfan. He mysteriously disappeared the day before they entered the instance.

Presumably, others share her thoughts and would also find the mysteriously disappeared person to be the most suspicious.

If it were a blind vote, most people would probably choose the mysteriously missing Zhang Pingfan.

As Yue Nu pondered this, she gripped the paper in her hand tightly and slowly spoke into the microphone: "I vote for Zhang Pingfan."

There was a sudden silence on the other end, but the call was not disconnected.

The Yue woman frowned slightly, waiting for what was to come.

The silence didn't last long; about twenty seconds later, the mechanical voice came through the microphone again.

"The first round of voting has ended. Eight players voted, and three abstained. The player with the most votes in the first round is—"

"Li Wentao, 7 votes"

Li Wentao? 7 votes?
She remembered that this was a boy in her class.

The Yue woman frowned deeply.

So, does that mean I was the only one among the voters who chose Zhang Pingfan?

If all seven people are certain that Li Wentao is a ghost, then it's pretty much certain that something happened somewhere she doesn't know about... If all seven of them are convinced that Li Wentao is a ghost, then it's safe to say that he is a ghost, right?
Moreover, eight plus three is eleven people. If only eleven people voted, does that mean one person has already been killed?
As Yue Nu pondered this, she quietly waited for the next part of the conversation. The other party hadn't hung up yet and still needed to summarize the number of participants.

The remaining ghosts and civilians will be identified, and Li Wentao's identity will be revealed.

But wasn't the interval between the previous sentence and the summary of the number of people a bit too long? Yue Nu frowned deeply.

During this brief pause, Pan Yue, who had been tightly choked, suddenly felt her neck loosen and fell to the ground. Ignoring the pain, she immediately took a deep breath, and the fresh air rushed into her lungs, making her feel alive again.

Oh, right! All seven people voted for Li Wentao, so he's going to be eliminated!
As she thought about it, she looked up, wanting to see Li Wentao.

But as soon as Pan Yue looked up, she saw Li Yibai and Keke with terrifying expressions.

Next came Lin Qi, who was stunned, and Chu Meiren, whose expression was not quite normal.

At the very back was Gu Mian, who had just come up carrying a flashlight. The flashlight beam pierced the darkness, allowing her to see the expressions on everyone's faces.

Without exception, they were not looking at themselves.

Whether it's fear or blank stare on their faces, these emotions aren't directed at them, but rather... directed at those above them.

What's wrong? Pan Yue was also stunned.

Then, she suddenly felt something warm dripping onto her face.

Her hand trembled slightly as she reached out to touch her face.

Then he lowered his head slightly to look at what was being wiped off his face.

It was blood.

Blood that was so red it looked almost black in the darkness.

Pan Yue stared blankly as she looked up.

That was Li Wentao; he was no longer able to speak.

Like a steamed bun being torn apart, its outer skin was slowly ripped open, revealing the bright red inside.

They were torn apart like rubber bands, stretched gradually, and finally snapped with a 'bang,' revealing the white bones beneath the flesh.

Pan Yue heard the sound of something breaking.

Tiny cracks spread across the bone, gradually covering the surrounding area, and finally snapped with a 'crack', breaking it like a piece of firewood.

Li Wentao is still conscious.

He opened his eyes wide and tears streamed down his face.

Pan Yue stared blankly.

With the last sound of firewood breaking, his neck seemed to be snapped backward, his head slumped limply onto his shoulder, and he fell silent.

died.

Immediately afterwards, his tall body fell onto the stairs, lying right in front of Pan Yue.

No one expected that losing in the referendum would end like this.

The sound of Li Yibai retching could be heard; he gripped the stairs tightly and continued to vomit.

Pan Yue seemed unable to accept what was happening before her eyes, her expression blank.

Just after Li Wentao collapsed, the mechanical voice rang out again from the building's loudspeakers.

"The first round of the game is over. One player was killed, and one player was eliminated by vote. The second round of the game begins. There are 10 players remaining, including 7 civilians and 3 ghosts."

Pan Yue stiffly turned her neck: "What... what did he say? There are a few more ghosts?"

Coco's tiny voice came from the side: "There are... there are three more ghosts..."

In other words, Li Wentao is not a ghost, and he did not kill the person.

But he has now died here, in an extremely tragic manner.

Everyone else was stunned, seemingly unable to believe the result.

Pan Yue stood up excitedly. She didn't dare to look at Li Wentao, who was standing next to her, but instead looked at the others in front of her for help: "How could Li Wentao not be a ghost? He is a ghost, right? You all think he is a ghost too!"

No one answered her.
The hallway was completely silent.

Unable to get an answer, Pan Yue finally lost control, shoved 007 aside, and ran away as if fleeing.
