Global Collapse

Chapter 52 Physical Rescue
She wasn't surprised when Gu Mian and the others decided to stay at the woman's house.

"I know you've also encountered strange things, which is why you've come to me for refuge. But I must tell you, this statue is on its last legs and could shatter at any moment."

“When that happens, Zhong Min will come looking for me immediately, and you will all suffer as a result.”

She didn't think that Gu Mian and the others had any ulterior motives towards her. Who would have improper thoughts about a fifty-year-old woman whose face was half-ruined?
And since she knew she would die sooner or later, she had come to terms with everything.

Yuwen Hao didn't seem to want to stay, but Qing Huan and Huang Yu both decided to follow Gu Mian, and he didn't dare to leave alone, so he had no choice but to stay as well.

It was dusk; the sun was setting, and the sky was gradually darkening.

The woman went straight back to her bedroom and closed the door, while Gu Mian and the others remained in the living room.

Seeing the woman enter the house, Yuwen Hao frowned and said, "Gu Mian, are you crazy? Zhong Min is far more terrifying than those ghosts that are following us. She is the source! Are you just going to stay here like this?"

He took a deep breath as he said this: "I know you're a doctor, an angel in white, kind, and can't bear to kill. But your kindness shouldn't be used in this kind of situation. What you're doing now is being a saint! Killing someone in this game is fine, there's absolutely no need to care about a virtual person!"

Upon hearing this, Qing Huan looked at Gu Mian with a suspicious expression. Why didn't he feel that Dr. Gu was any kind of saint?

But Gu Mian found these words very pleasing. He stroked his chin before speaking: "You think this woman is easy to deal with?"

Yuwen Hao was stunned for a moment.

"A woman whose face was half-ruined and who spent her entire life huddled in a gloomy room, do you think she wouldn't harbor resentment? Moreover, this is a woman who could contend with vengeful ghosts for decades. She was this powerful while she was alive. If she dies, it was because you killed her..."

Upon hearing Gu Mian's words, Yuwen Hao immediately understood.

This is a supernatural instance; anyone who dies could become a ghost.

I'm afraid this woman will become an even more terrifying vengeful ghost after she dies, perhaps even more terrifying than Zhong Min!
But Gu Mian wasn't concerned about whether it was scary or not.

He continued, "Think about it, if you kill her, she'll immediately turn into a ghost. Wouldn't it be incredibly awkward if you two looked at each other then?"

Qinghuan's face twitched slightly: "Wait, what's with all this embarrassment? That's not the point, is it?"

Gu Mian didn't care about these small details: "In short, you can't just kill randomly in the dungeon, otherwise you'll be in big trouble if you die and become a ghost. Of course, if you want to kill ghosts, then disregard what I said."

Yuwen Hao's face twitched. Who would dare kill a ghost?!

Gu Mian continued, "And as you just said, I am a doctor, a good person, a nurse, and my job is to save people. Of course, even if the other person is a ghost, I will try to save them."

Yuwen Hao's brow twitched: "You want to save Zhong Min?"

Gu Mian nodded: "Of course."

The group was puzzled. Should they persuade her to repent and lay down her weapons, or should they remove the evil karma and help her reincarnate?
Seemingly noticing their confusion, Gu Mian said, "Let's just call it physical rescue for now."

Physical rescue? Why does this give me such a bad feeling...?

Night fell quickly, and no one knew whether the woman in the bedroom was asleep or not, but Yuwen and the others outside were unable to sleep.

After entering the room, Qing Huan no longer felt like anyone was behind her, as Yuwen Hao's spying had disappeared. The phone hadn't rung either, as if the ghosts didn't dare to enter the room at all.

But the more this is the case, the more terrifying they find it.

Huang Yu paced aimlessly around the living room, occasionally walking up to the shrine and staring at the statue inside. After circling several times, he finally couldn't resist reaching out, seemingly wanting to touch the statue. Before doing so, he specifically asked the others, "May I touch it?"

Gu Mian looked up: "As long as you're happy."

Yuwen Hao was a little nervous: "Don't break it by touching it."

Qinghuan also leaned over, indicating that she wanted to touch it too.

Just as Huang Yu's hand touched the statue, he suddenly let out a low cry. Yuwen Hao immediately stood up: "What's wrong?"

If the statue were to break at this moment, they would be doomed.

Huang Yu stammered, "It seems to be... a special item..."

Special items?

Upon hearing this, Qing Huan also placed his hand on it in surprise. He let out a soft exclamation and then murmured something: "Broken Evil God Statue, Special Functional Item..."

Once the instance begins, only the player's own stats are visible. At this point, Yuwen Hao also went over and touched the statue, then stared at his own stats.

This was the first special item Gu Mian found in the dungeon. He walked up to the statue and reached out to touch it.

But just as he placed his hand on the statue, it suddenly emitted a fragile cracking sound.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks on its body began to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye, covering the entire body, and within a few seconds the entire statue emitted a crisp sound.

Finished!

It broke.

Gu Mian's hand was still in mid-air, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

The other three hadn't even finished looking at the panel, or even had time to discuss who should own this special item, when it shattered, completely pulverized.

Yuwen Hao stared wide-eyed at Gu Mian: "You..."

Gu Mian guiltily withdrew her hand: "I don't know why it suddenly broke. I really didn't use any force."

Perhaps the game didn't like him and gave him a little accident.

Yuwen Hao opened his eyes wide, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a chill.

The others felt the same way and looked around in horror.

With the statue collapsed, Zhong Min can now move freely.

The group first felt a chill, but then a wave of heat hit them, and when they looked around, they found themselves surrounded by a sea of ​​fire.

Yuwen Hao looked to the side in surprise, only to find that the surrounding scenery had changed drastically.

His lips trembled slightly: "This is... a warehouse?"
