Global Collapse

Chapter 497 Today, Gugu almost got chopped into salt and pepper Gugu.

“There’s no need for that,” Chu Changge shook his head slightly. “From past experience, we can see that the dungeon doesn’t want you to know too much; just like the Death Image dungeon, before the ghost could reveal much to you, the dungeon shut down on its own.”

He glanced at the noose in Gu Mian's hand: "As long as you can find an NPC in the old world who has touched the core of the instance and capture him, the instance will most likely kick you out directly."

The two continued walking while talking. The village they were filming was located in the mountains. By this time, Gu Mian and Chu Changge had long since left the village and were walking on the muddy mountain road.

The moon was exceptionally large tonight, so the two of them didn't need to take out flashlights to light their way.

As Gu Mian moved forward, she said, "Actually, I've always had a question. We've mentioned before that there are two organizers for this global game. It's basically certain that Earth is one organizer, and the lower-dimensional world that creates the instance is the other. Judging from the ticket sellers and the instance's behavior, the lower-dimensional world is clearly unhappy that I'm entering the instance, but they can't stop me."
"Given the conflict between the two organizers, Earth should be quite happy for me to enter the instance. Earth and the lower-dimensional world are pushing me against each other."

Gu Mian could even imagine the scene—

Earth reached out its hand: "Look, your Gu Mian."

The lower-dimensional world pushed back: "No, this is your Gu Mian."

The thought of this scene caused Gu Mian's brain to freeze for a moment: "I'm thinking that although I'm unlucky, I'm not some weird thing, am I?"

It's as if some disaster will happen as long as he exists.

Seemingly guessing Gu Mian's thoughts, Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "It seems you're not very clear about your own position. The facts prove that your existence will cause enormous losses. First, let's talk about the financial losses. According to incomplete statistics, the businesses that went bankrupt because of you include four supermarkets, three restaurants, two amusement parks, three pesticide shops, one orphanage, and one funeral supplies shop..."

"In addition to these, there were other financial losses, including four buses that carried you, a glass bridge you walked across, fifteen elevators you rode, and thirty-eight stocks you invested in..."

Listening to Chu Changge reciting words as if reciting an inheritance, Gu Mian chuckled: "It's impressive that you remember it so clearly."

Chu Changge looked calmly at Gu Mian: "I'm just stating the facts."

This is just the damage Gu Mian caused on Earth; the sins he committed in the dungeon are far greater.

Countless NPCs and ghosts are flying everywhere, and they will always let the dungeon rest before they leave.

They are truly relentless in ruining people.

Gu Mian began to question the meaning of life.

Chu Changge continued, "This shows that it's understandable why the instance doesn't let you touch the core."

Moreover, the theme of global games was not originally to analyze the background of dungeon worlds.

While players worldwide are focused on outsmarting and outmaneuvering the ghosts, Gu Mian has already embarked on a one-way journey to unravel the secrets of the dungeon world.

After rambling on for so long, Gu Mian finally got back to the point: "So now, if we want to leave this world, we don't need to build nuclear bombs. We just need to find a key NPC and have a friendly conversation with him."

Most people in this world are unaware that they live in a lower dimension, but clearly some people in the production team know something.

Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "By the way, the cameraman who's with you might know something."

“Him,” Gu Mian stroked her chin, “I didn’t expect him to be the first place in the previous rounds. He must have entered this instance a long time ago, and he didn’t even know the name ‘Gu Mian’.”

After all, his name had been on the wanted list for a long time.

To Gu Mian's surprise, the cameraman had actually survived in the old world. Gu Mian had experienced firsthand how hostile the NPCs were to players, so it must have been quite an achievement for the cameraman to have a place here.

The players who can become the most popular are all formidable opponents.

This person was able to abandon all dignity and desperately try to survive, demonstrating remarkable perseverance.

Gu Mian believed that if this person hadn't perished in the old world, he would definitely be doing well now.

Chu Changge gently shook his head: "When the next batch of players enters this instance, he can no longer be considered a player."

Gu Mian still remembers one of the rules of this global game: a single instance can only accommodate one group of players at a time.

“Yes,” Gu Mian nodded, “After I discovered his identity, he also dropped his disguise.”

"Can I go back?"—Gu Mian still remembers his tone at the time, which was very confused, but mixed with an imperceptible hope.

It seems he knew the hope was slim, but he still clung to a last glimmer of hope. It was as if if Gu Mian said "yes," he could truly return to his beloved hometown.

This glimmer of hope was his only reason for living this long. He thought he had to keep living, just in case he could leave one day, just in case.

But this is not something Gu Mian can decide. Even if the instance collapses, only the players can leave.

The cameraman was clever; he knew all along that he was no longer a "player."

"So how did you answer?" Chu Changge's voice came.

"I told the truth." Gu Mian looked up at the gloomy sky. The bright moon hung in the night sky, as if giving all its light to the world.

"Can not go back."

Gu Mian doesn't know how many players like this there are.

Most of them couldn't bear dying in this malicious world, but this one has survived to this day, silently telling of his tragedy and suffering.

The sheer number of players who have died in this tragic world is a testament to its devastation.

"Why would a world like this value me so much, even sending Liu Ruyan to ensure my survival?" Of course, Liu Ruyan seems to be different from the will of this world. She is obsessed with the gas cylinder in Gu Mian's house, presumably because she really wanted to see Gu Mian explode.

Gu Mian looked up at the sky: "Is it because my being alive can bring any benefit to this place?"

It's disgusting to think that it brings benefits to this disgusting world.

Chu Changge fell silent.

“Since that’s the case…” Gu Mian suddenly took out a hanging rope.

Chu Changge looked up: "What are you doing?"

Gu Mian quickly put her head into the rope loop and shouted to the sky, "If you don't get me out of here, I'll die right here!"

Chu Changge: "..."

elder brother:"……"

Of course, nothing happened.

Gu Mian chuckled: "I'll give it a try, I'll give it a try."

Chu Changge walked past him expressionlessly: "Go on your rant after you're done."

Gu Mian decided to go find the production team first and beat them up. If that didn't work, he would go out and see the outside world. Of course, Gu Mian guessed that the game wouldn't want him to go out and see the outside world.

He might have been teleported away while the director was being bullied.

As Gu Mian thought this through, she strode forward with great confidence: "We'll sneak back; they'll never expect it."

Meanwhile, the production team was in a frenzy because their adorable number one contestant not only let the other guests escape, but also made the show lose face.

The children who almost ate the rat have been rescued; they look like they're about to go into shock.

The director angrily declared that he would definitely bring Gu Mian back.

The fat man was lying uneasily on the bed, his hands clasped together.

The male homeowner had already turned off the TV in anger when the scene of stuffing mice into the screen was shown, so the fat man couldn't very well go and turn it back on.

He didn't reply when asked where Gu Mian was in the cheating group.

The fat man could only pray in his heart that the doctor would not be caught.

The woman was hiding under his bed, seemingly there to spy on him, but the fat man could only pretend he knew nothing.

Ah, gugukaven ...
