Global Collapse

Chapter 433 Gu Mian's Chuunibyou Soul

"Speaking of that death scene dungeon..." Fatty suddenly looked at Gu Mian curiously, "Doctor, was Mingyue killed by a ghost?"

The fat man remembered that the ghost was definitely after the fortune teller.

Gu Mian pondered for a moment: "When it came to me, it was always the fortune teller chasing after me. I remember that Mingyue was behind the ghost and the fortune teller, wasn't she?"

How could a ghost turn back to kill her?

“Ah,” the fat man recalled, “but when Brother Chu and I returned to the mall, we saw Mingyue’s body. Wasn’t she killed by a ghost?”

At this point, the fat man subconsciously looked at Xiao Qiao and Liu Ruyan beside him: "Do you know how Mingyue died?"

Xiao Qiao shook her head decisively: "I don't know."

Liu Ruyan gave the same answer.

The fat man said, somewhat puzzled, "This is so strange..."

Chu Changge, standing next to him, pushed up his glasses and said, "Never mind that. We have two events in front of us now. The Dragon Boat Festival is on June 7th, and the college entrance examination is on June 8th. Only players who rank in the top 20% in the Dragon Boat Festival event are eligible to enter the college entrance examination event. Let's think about these two events first."

"The Dragon Boat Festival event will be held on the Liannu River. We are almost at the riverbank now. The event will run from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM on June 7th. Five players will be required to form a team to compete against other players. There are evil spirits in the water, and players can interfere with each other."

"I need to emphasize again that deaths during the event were real deaths."

The rules and regulations for the college entrance examination activities have not yet been announced.

Gu Mian guessed that they might not know the exam rules until they entered the exam room.

"Let's make a plan for the dragon boat race now," Chu Changge said, adjusting his glasses and looking at Xiao Qiao and the other person beside him. "You two don't mind teaming up with us, do you?"

Xiao Qiao shook her head quite honestly: "I don't mind."

Liu Ruyan had no objections.

Chu Changge glanced at Liu Ruyan before continuing, "The rules for the dragon boat race don't specify a start and finish line. It's very likely that they will be marked after the event begins, and the duration of the event..."

Gu Mian noticed it too.

The dragon boat races last from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM.

A full seventeen hours.

Although the game has been running for almost half a year now, and many people's physical condition has been strengthened, it is still unlikely that they can row a dragon boat for more than ten hours straight.

Gu Mian stroked her chin: "This means that some players might spend more than ten hours to reach the finish line."

We don't know how long the race will take.

The fat man whispered, "I think there's a high chance the players will capsize within the first hour of the match..."

But he still remembered Chu Changge's words; the game's organizers seemed to have goodwill towards Gu Mian. He quietly said, "But we shouldn't capsize within an hour, right?"

“That depends on the difficulty of the event,” Chu Changge said softly. “As I mentioned before, there are two organizers in the game who are mutually restraining each other, so even if the organizers want to go easy on us, they can’t go too easy, or someone will obstruct us… I think the ghosts in this dragon boat race will be very difficult to deal with, and we are at a great disadvantage being on the boat. If the boat capsizes, we will become the prey of the vengeful ghosts.”

"Ah," the fat man said with a bitter face, "this activity is very dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian looked thoughtfully at Xiao Hong, who was sipping lychee soda at the back of the car: "Can you swim?" Xiao Hong: "..."

Practice is the only way to test the truth.

Gu Mian chose a clear and sunny day, and in a park, she threw Xiao Hong into the water with a "plop".

Little Red, dressed in red, struggled desperately in the water. After a few minutes, she stopped struggling and slowly sank to the bottom. Several bubbles rose to the surface, as if the sinking ghost had truly died.

Gu Mian stared at the bubbles rising to the surface of the water, considering whether to go down and save the person, when she saw an ugly head float up from the water, silently looking at her.

The human and the ghost stared at each other like that.

The fat man next to Xiao Hong twitched his eyebrows and said, "You're quite the actor."

The wind here is a bit strong, causing ripples to spread across the water.

Gu Mian stared at Xiao Hong in the water for a while, then casually pushed her brother, who was obediently staying beside her, into the water.

Then two ghosts floated on the water.

"Looks like you're not afraid of water," Gu Mian said gently as she crouched down and looked at the two heads that were emerging from the water. "How about you two push the boat from below when we go boating in a few days?"

The rules state that five players form a team, but they don't say that players can't bring anything else.

"You're cheating, Doctor," the fat man said, but his expression was quite pleased. "But I like it."

No one would expect that there were two ghosts pushing hard under a group of players' boats; the scene was quite terrifying to imagine.

The older brother, who was soaking in the water, smiled, but he could only call out "sister" to her. Gu Mian took it as a yes.

And Little Red next to her...

Gu Mian saw her looking at him with a gloomy gaze, and finally turned her body away, leaving him with only a dark back of her head. For some reason, the back of her head looked a little aggrieved.

At this moment, Chu Changge spoke up: "Leaving aside the event itself, this event will attract players from all over the world. Gu Mian, you need to be mindful of your identity."

Despite the protection of the nickname "Doctor," quite a few players in the game actually know that he is Gu Mian.

Because Gu Mian used her real name to participate in the previous dungeons.

Xiao Qiao and Liu Ruyan also participated in the "throwing Xiao Hong" activity, but their interest was not in Xiao Hong at all. Not far away, Xiao Qiao was picking up a few willow branches and playing with them in her hand.

Liu Ruyan sat on the cool chair over there, not interested in who they had thrown into the water.

The fat man glanced at the willow tree that had been brutally ravaged by Xiao Qiao: "But speaking of which, Doctor, aren't you even a little curious about what that ghost in the last dungeon said?"

It says there is another Gu Mian in the copy.

Normal people might be shocked to hear this, or perhaps indulge in some childish fantasies.

However, Gu Mian accepted this matter quite calmly and didn't seem to care much.
