Global Collapse

Chapter 417 is extremely terrifying.

The fat man's eyes widened, and he spoke incredulously:
Just for a moment?

Gu Mian twitched her finger and looked at the fat man: "What are you thinking about?"

Chu Changge took a few steps forward to pick up the thing on the ground, intending to put it in the trash can. Just as he passed the bedroom door, he suddenly noticed something and looked inside.

There was a dead body lying on the ground.

Some dust was brought out from under the bed. The computer screen on the bedroom table was still on, and Chu Changge saw that the page was displaying information about the serial murder case in Ziyang City.

Gu Mian looked towards the door and saw two unfamiliar people behind the fat man, a man and a woman. It seemed that Chu Changge and the others had found the remaining two players, and now all nine players had gathered.

At this moment, the two unfamiliar players were looking at Xiao Qiao with some surprise, clearly recognizing her identity.

The man took a few steps forward, and Gu Mian saw his game nickname – "A Green Grass on His Head".

Gu Mian resisted the urge to ask him if he had a girlfriend and turned to look at Chu Changge, who was walking into the bedroom.

"She came by herself?" At this moment, Chu Changge was already squatting next to the corpse.

Gu Mian nodded: "Mm."

Sunlight streamed through the glass window, making even the dust floating in the air clearly visible. Chu Changge crouched down, looking closely at the corpse.

The two unfamiliar players also saw the corpse lying in the bedroom. Before they could express their fear, they saw the bespectacled, seemingly unapproachable man squatting next to the corpse, calmly and intently examining the horrific body without moving.

Grassland silently swallowed: "Although we've been through quite a few dungeons, we really can't remain this calm when we first see a corpse..."

At this moment, the female player also took a few steps forward, and Gu Mian noticed that her game nickname was "Moonlight Before My Bed".

He decided to refer to the player as "Mingyue" for now.

At this moment, the fortune teller also took a few steps forward. She looked at the corpse, then turned to look at Gu Mian, who was still sitting on the sofa: "Could you please explain to us where this corpse came from?"

“It came by itself,” Gu Mian explained, “It was a very polite corpse; it even tried to knock before coming in.”

Upon hearing this, the two new players looked at each other with a strange expression, and they looked at the doctor-dressed person sitting on the sofa.

His nickname was quite oddly colored, green like the fortune teller next to him. The fortune teller explained that this was a color unique to professional nicknames.

Moreover, this doctor seemed to have a great sense of humor, the kind who would tell jokes in any situation.

The grassland's gaze swept over Gu Mian, then over Xiao Qiao, before finally settling on the corpse: "Because she was knocking, you opened the door for her?"

“Of course not,” Xiao Qiao also turned her head to prove her innocence. “She pushed the door open and came in by herself. When it happened, the doctor and I were under the bed.”

Under the bed?

Everyone else's expressions turned strange, and at that moment, Mingyue crossed her arms and said knowingly, "Hiding under the bed? You know, hiding under the bed won't do any good if you're being targeted by a ghost... What's with that expression?" The last part of her sentence was directed at the increasingly strange expression on the face of the little rabbit next to her.

Little Rabbit's expression was so strange that it was impossible to ignore. She frowned tightly and finally couldn't help but speak: "They were indeed hiding under the bed, but not in that way!"

Not the kind of hiding? Mingyue's face also turned strange.

At this moment, the diviner suddenly spoke up: "Excuse me... what happened after this corpse came in?"

As she said this, she suddenly remembered a scene she had seen on the show "Sweet Lovers".

The room was filled with bound and struggling ghosts, while Teacher Sweetie trembled under the gleaming chainsaw, and the doctor stood in the room with an expression as relaxed as if he had just finished using the toilet.

"After she came in?" Little Rabbit repeated the four words in a strange tone before continuing, "After she came in, she was pounced on by someone who suddenly jumped out from under the bed, and that's how she ended up looking like this."

Upon hearing this, the diviner silently looked at the corpse on the ground; now she was a real corpse.

Mingyue and Caoyuan were both slightly taken aback. Then, Mingyue, who was holding her arms, immediately spoke up: "This corpse is controlled by a ghost, so that means a corpse controlled by a ghost can't attack us, right? Could this be the key to our escape?"

The person on the grassland next to them looked at Mingyue with some curiosity. The two of them did not know each other. They met at Liu Ruyan's coffee shop. After meeting, Mingyue's impression of him was that she loved to laugh and talked a lot. Although she was a bit noisy, everything was normal. But for some reason, after coming here, Mingyue seemed to have changed. Her tone suddenly became a bit aggressive, and it seemed that she was always interrupting him.

Even Liu Ruyan could feel this aggressive aura. She smiled and stepped forward, and Gu Mian noticed that she was carrying a packaged drink.

"Your papaya juice." Liu Ruyan placed the item on Xiao Qiao's table.

Gu Mian's eyebrows twitched: "You still remember this?"

At this moment, Xiao Qiao had already inserted the straw and taken a sip. Seemingly noticing Gu Mian's gaze beside her, she turned her head and asked, "Do you want some?"

Gu Mian silently turned her head: "I don't want to."

Grassland chuckled, seemingly trying to ease the eerie atmosphere: "It seems the ghosts in this instance really can control corpses, but the corpses can't harm us... This doctor, you're really something, how did you think of that? You're not afraid at all, and you dare to pounce on them directly."

Looking at the naive man beside him, the fortune teller chuckled but said nothing.

Whether it will cause damage is uncertain; she felt there was a 99% chance it would harm these poor players.

Gu Mian didn't spell it out. He said very seriously, "Actually, I'm really scared. But have you ever heard that extreme fear can turn into anger? When a person is in a state of great terror, he will subconsciously want to eliminate the source of the terror."

really?
Grassland and Bright Moon were somewhat skeptical. They had experienced many terrifying dungeons and were often driven to the brink of death by ghosts, but they had never thought of jumping up and smashing the ghosts to death.

The fat man was already used to Gu Mian's ramblings, and he silently nodded in agreement.

Because his name was frequently mentioned in compensation announcements alongside Gu Mian's, Chu Changge ordered him to pretend he had just met Gu Mian in crowded instances.

At this moment, Chu Changge had already stood up from beside the corpse. He walked out of the bedroom and looked at Gu Mian: "After you left, we found out some other news."
