Global Collapse

Chapter 414 Vulgar Title
When the fat man returned to the coffee shop, panting, he saw Chu Changge, wearing glasses, sitting on a somber gray sofa, holding a caramel macchiato.

The scene was a bit strange.

Several seats away were two girls, and Gu Mian was being pulled into a conversation.

The fat man straightened his collar, puffed out his chest, and pretended to be a respectable customer as he walked in with his head held high.

As he passed Gu Mian, he heard a girl asking for Gu Mian's contact information in a sneaky voice.

"Could you leave your contact information, Gu Mian?"

"The waiters here won't give you their phone numbers. If you ask them for contact information, they'll definitely say they don't have their phones with them."

At this moment, the fat man was already sitting opposite Chu Changge.

The gray leather sofa was so soft that the fat man felt like most of his buttocks were sinking in, and he didn't want to pull himself out.

"I was looking for you outside, I didn't expect you to come by yourself," the fat man reached out and touched the unused spoon next to Chu Changge, and boldly scooped a spoonful from Chu Changge's cup. "By the way, Brother Chu, how did you find this place... Ugh, so sweet!"

Chu Changge picked up her cup, glanced at the business card on the table, and said softly, "Someone died last night. This was found in her clothes."

Just then, someone else came in, and Gu Mian was bending over slightly, trying her best to sell her body.

"Did you see that? A police car came to our school today."

At this moment, the three new girls were discussing it.

“I saw it, but I don’t know what happened… By the way, speaking of police cars, I suddenly remembered something. Do you know about the serial murder case in the next city about six months ago? It’s said that eight people were killed. Strangely, there are still several unclaimed bodies, and the murderer has not been caught yet.”

“I’ve heard about it too. I heard that those unclaimed bodies weren’t unclaimed by anyone. The strange thing is that those people all had very normal identities, but they couldn’t find a single relative to claim the bodies. It’s as if they popped out of a rock. I think this rumor is probably false.”

The information provided by the copy?

After hearing this conversation, Gu Mian thought for a moment, then smiled and handed them the menu.

The three girls' conversation quickly shifted from the supernatural to gossip, and the rest of the chat became irrelevant.

Chu Changge picked up the spoon beside him, thought for a moment, and then put it down: "It seems that not only can we wait for other players here, but we can also hear some useful information."

Just then, the glass door was pushed open again.

Gu Mian turned her head and saw a girl in a black robe walking in with her head down.

She was wearing a black hood, half of her face was covered by shadows, and she was holding something that looked like a pendant in her hand. Gu Mian recognized this thing as a pendulum, which is used in divination.

At this moment, the dark blue pendulum is constantly moving clockwise.

If Gu Mian hadn't been able to access her player panel, one would have mistaken her for a medieval witch...

At this moment, the person whose face was covered by a hood stood at the doorway and then slightly raised their head.

As she looked up, Gu Mian saw the face clearly—it looked very familiar.

It was the female player who called herself a "fortune teller" that we encountered in the Sweet Lovers instance!
Sure enough, her nickname was the three words "Fortune Teller" in green, which means that as long as you have a profession, you can get a green nickname.

At this moment, the rather mysterious-looking fortune teller raised his face and looked at Gu Mian.

The moment she saw Gu Mian, the mysterious atmosphere she had managed to maintain finally crumbled.

Gu Mian saw astonishment and surprise on her face, an expression as if she were mourning her dead crystal ball; perhaps this fortune teller hadn't foreseen that she would run into an acquaintance here.

"How could you..." When the fortune teller saw Gu Mian's face, she subconsciously thought of Sweet Teacher, who was the most miserable NPC she had ever seen, threatened by a player with a chainsaw held to his neck.

Gu Mian pressed her down, cutting her off: "Miss, welcome home."

The fortune teller was bewildered as Gu Mian forcibly pressed her into a seat by the door, leaving her no room to resist. She turned her stiff neck to look at the chainsaw doctor, only to see that he had changed his clothes and his smile looked quite gentle, as if he would never raise his voice to anyone.

If one hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, one would know how terrifying Gu Mian's madness was, and even a fortune teller would be completely fooled by her deceptively charming appearance.

"You...you're in this instance too..." The fortune teller suddenly looked up at Gu Mian with a slightly guilty expression. He bent down slightly with a gentle smile, as if listening to her needs: "What do you need?"

The fortune teller stared blankly at Gu Mian's face, and subconsciously uttered, "Cappuccino..."

"Okay." Gu Mian took back the menu.

At the same time, the two heard another noise coming from the door.

Gu Mian turned around and saw that it was a familiar face again. It was Xiao Qiao with a female player who looked unfamiliar. It seemed that Chu Changge had given them this location.

After the two entered the room, they saw Gu Mian wearing a tuxedo. Xiao Qiao quickly pulled the person next to her to sit opposite the fortune teller.

After sitting down, Little Rabbit Maru glanced at Gu Mian and then at the fortune teller: "Both of your nicknames are green. Are they your job nicknames? I heard that players' nicknames turn like this after they have a job."

"What do you need?" Gu Mian asked with a professional smile.

Xiao Qiao immediately replied, "Papaya juice."

Gu Mian frowned; it seemed that this Miss Qiao's mind had been poisoned by something.

Little Rabbit Maru wasn't interested in any of that. She looked at Gu Mian and said, "I want the same one."

This isn't on the menu, so we'll just throw it on whatever we can find. After all, these aren't real customers.

As Gu Mian pondered this, she walked backstage, where Liu Ruyan was making drinks.

Meanwhile, the three female players had already started talking.

The fortune teller looked at Xiao Qiao first and asked, "Are you Qiao Chu? That female celebrity?"

Xiao Qiao nodded seriously: "My name is Qiao Chu."

The fortune teller looked somewhat surprised: "I never expected to run into a celebrity while playing this game..."

Although celebrities are no longer worth much.

Thinking of this, she continued, "Did you two match up for a dungeon together?"

Upon hearing this, Usagi's brow twitched: "No...no..."

The pale face she saw after lifting the covers last night belonged to the female celebrity next to her. Fortunately, Xiao Qiao didn't look scary, otherwise she would have had a heart attack.

Back then, she had even joined the crowd in criticizing Qiao Chu as a pretty face, but after seeing how Qiao Chu single-handedly moved that horrific corpse under the bed last night, she slightly changed her mind.

"At the very least, she's a very daring pretty face."

By this time, Xiao Qiao had finished explaining to the fortune teller what happened last night, as well as what they had discovered during the day—they found nothing.

The fortune teller reached out and pinched the bridge of his nose, looking like he had a headache.

"As you can see, my game class is a fortune teller, so I found this place without much searching. I used a pendulum." She said, glancing at the dark blue pendulum placed on the table.

Little Rabbit Maru asked with great interest, "Then you should be able to divine how to survive in the dungeon, right?"

The fortune teller shook his head slightly: "No, actually my abilities aren't that strong. A fortune teller isn't a prophet. I can usually only predict things that have already happened. If you ask me for next week's lottery numbers, I definitely can't answer that. But if your mother was murdered and you don't know who the murderer is, perhaps I can help you find out by divination."

Upon hearing this, Little Rabbit's expression turned somewhat strange; she felt that the second metaphor was not quite right.

She leaned back slightly: "Let's talk about something related to this instance..."

Her voice stopped abruptly at this point.

The fortune teller looked at her strangely: "What's wrong?"

Little Rabbit Maru stared intently at the glass door behind the fortune teller: "I think I just saw... Wang Xin walk past?"

GuGu actually finished writing a chapter a while ago, but felt it was too weak and deleted it... Ah, my several thousand words!
