Global Collapse

Chapter 608 No way, no way, it's 2021 already, are there still authors updating monthly?
The teacher, who was about to kill, sensed that something was wrong. He secretly tried to pull his collar, but found that it wouldn't budge.

“Of course I don’t want you to applaud,” Louis said, his fingers gripping the murderous teacher’s collar tightly. “I just want you to know about this so I can be killed to silence you.”

Gu Mian retorted shamelessly, "Why would I kill someone to cover up something like this?"

"?" Teacher Killer felt that his entire face was filled with question marks.

So you're telling me things I shouldn't know to silence me?
The murderous teacher struggled violently: "I think you've really gone mad! Let me go, I'm going to find someone to capture this lowlife!"

He still didn't believe what Louis had just said; he just thought the two of them were crazy.

Louis didn't say anything, but suddenly took a few steps forward and came to stand in front of Gu Mian.

The teacher was caught off guard and dragged several steps.

Gu Mian saw Louis reach out and tug at his white coat.

Then a bright green object peeked out from the folds of the clothes.

Gu Mian's white coat had recently been brutally abused by 007—it was crumpled into a ball and stuffed into her guitar case.

So it wasn't particularly smooth at this point, and the wrinkles all over it made it look a bit messy.

The leaf brooch that had been pinned to his white coat was hidden in the folds of the clothes, and it was only when Louis straightened it that the brooch was brought back to light.

The leaf brooch is a special item that Gu Mian obtained in the killing game. It is surprisingly useful, as it can hide the player's nickname and greatly reduce the risk of Gu Mian being assassinated by the player.

He remembered that this thing was a "gift" he received after he destroyed the statue of the evil god.

"A Gift from an Evil God"—Gu Mian still remembers the prefix on the leaf brooch.

Although he damaged someone's statue, he received a reward; this evil god seems unusually lenient.

The teacher of killing saw Louis's actions, and also saw the leaf brooch that had been hidden in the folds of his clothes.

He stared at the bright green brooch for a long while before finally stammering, "This, this isn't... murder..."

What are we killing?
Gu Mian looked at the teacher who was about to kill. Unexpectedly, he stopped talking there, and his already pale face became even paler.

Could this leaf brooch be some kind of keepsake? Judging from Teacher Killer's expression, he clearly recognizes it. Gu Mian pondered.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the description of this special item again.

Leaf Brooch

[Description: A gift from a certain evil god who was constantly hunted by enemies for some mysterious reason, so he specially created this item.]

Oh.

He got it.

This thing was probably worn by that evil god before, since it was created to evade pursuit, and of course it had to be carried at all times to conceal its identity.

The teacher recognized it.

Could the “slaughter” he just mentioned be the name of that evil god?
The name truly suits this world.

But because there was a teacher with a similar name, Killer, before her, Gu Mian thought that the evil god who might be called "Killer" was probably also short and stocky, and flashy in pink.

However, it's quite pathetic that an evil god has fallen to the point of being hunted down every day.

Judging from the expression on the teacher's face, he must have seen this unfortunate evil god before, or heard about him from others.

Thinking about it this way, this evil god isn't noble or lofty at all.

It is completely different from the definition of a novel as "unknowable, unseen, and indescribable".

There was also a goddess clone in the save point dungeon. Gu Mian remembered that she was called the Goddess of Mystic Arts, and she even gave him a relative for free before leaving.

When that goddess's avatar appeared, she blocked the fat guy and the others' view, creating an air of mystery. This evil god, on the other hand, has statues flying everywhere, like they're being wholesaled from Yiwu. He's also being relentlessly hunted down, and even a low-level NPC like Teacher Killer knows the evil god has a small leaf brooch.

The teacher, unaware that he had become a "low-class NPC" in the eyes of these inferior people, still looked pale and said, "This is on you. You really were the one who broke that evil god's statue!"

Don't slander me based on just one small leaf!
Okay, this isn't exactly slander, but isn't your reasoning a bit too hasty?

"How could this be...you lowly, despicable person..."

The teacher who kills always likes to use the phrase "lowly inferior people," which must be because he often communicated with inferior people in this way before.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. You already know so much, now you should disappear." Louis suddenly interrupted Killer Teacher. Gu Mian noticed that he tightened his grip on the collar, as if to prevent Killer Teacher from escaping.

The teacher, Murderer, stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You really want to kill me? We're all upper-class people, and you're protecting him! What's your relationship with this lowly person?! Who exactly is this lowly person? Why can he threaten the statue?!"

He asked questions loudly while quickly thinking of a way to escape.

Once he escapes, we must capture this lowly person, torture him severely, and find out exactly how he damaged the evil god statue.

Today felt like a dream, and Killer Teacher truly wished he was still dreaming. Cheers and shouts echoed from downstairs. Killer Teacher considered yelling for help, but he knew his voice wouldn't drown out the frenzied crowd below.

These idiot viewers! Did someone die in your family? Why are you yelling so loudly?! This is the first time that the Killing Teacher has used such a vile curse to curse the upper class.

He nervously watched Louis, who was grabbing his collar, and every now and then he would turn his head to see what Gu Mian was doing.

To this day, he still doesn't understand why Louis would team up with such lowly people to betray him.

Gu Mian didn't understand why Louis acted like "you and I are in cahoots".

It can't be like a turtle and a green bean, falling for each other.

"What do you want to do to me!" the killing teacher yelled, noticing that Louis's free hand was reaching towards him.

Gu Mianle watched the show from the sidelines with amusement.

Teacher Killer probably never imagined he'd end up like this.

Louis acted quickly; the little man in the pink clothes was soon tied up and gagged with a rag.

Louis thoughtfully found a chair, carried it to the window, and then placed the murderous teacher on it, tying him firmly to the chair.

This way, Teacher Killer could watch the performance downstairs in peace. However, he was so short that even sitting in a chair, he could barely stick his head out of the window.

The game on the guillotine below is nearing its end.

The host was very professional; when the audience was most excited, he lit the fireworks around the stage, and bursts of light flew into the sky and exploded.

Gu Mian could clearly see the daytime fireworks from the window.

Teacher Killer was still struggling, and Gu Mian impatiently unzipped her guitar bag a little.

As the person tied to the chair struggled, they turned their head and saw the cold glint in Gu Mian's guitar case. Their already pale face immediately turned to terror, and they dared not utter another sound.

Now he understood how Jin Hu's clothes had ended up on this person's body.

Under the horrified gaze of the murderous teacher, Gu Mian zipped up her guitar case: "You're not going to kill him?"

This was said to Louis.

"Let's meet up in a bit." Louis spoke in a familiar tone, as if he and Gu Mian were old friends.

Together in a bit?
Do you really need two people to kill a shorty? Gu Mian thought that the killing teacher's fighting power wasn't worth the effort of two people.

Upon hearing this, the murderous teacher was sweating profusely and trembling uncontrollably.

After saying that, Louis pulled up a chair and sat down next to the murderous teacher.

Gu Mian looked at the pale-faced middle-aged man strangely. He was indeed an upper-class person, a high-level NPC in this instance, and also the mission target of Gu Mian and 007.

"Gain Louis's approval"—Gu Mian remembered that's what the dungeon quest said.

He looked the middle-aged man up and down and felt that the task was not too difficult.

Of course, he remembered that he hadn't entered this instance to do a quest.

Manager 845 of the food processing plant once said that the high-level NPCs in this instance know a lot about the game, which is why Gu Mian went to great lengths to get to this instance.

He wanted to know why this game existed and whether it was related to his bad luck.

Of course, he also wanted to know how to completely destroy the game.

Since this global game came out, Gu Mian can no longer happily loot loot boxes.

He couldn't just ask, "Do you know how to kill this game?" When asking someone a question, you have to try to get on their good side first.

Following this principle, Gu Mian also moved a chair and sat by the window, beginning a friendly exchange: "Did you already know me?"

Louis was able to describe in detail what he did at the Golden Tiger Hospital, leading Gu Mian to suspect that he had a god-like perspective, wondering if this was a privilege of high-level NPCs.

Seemingly guessing what Gu Mian was thinking, Louis, holding a freshly lit cigarette, said, "That hospital, I was inside it at the time."

Good guy!
The high-level NPC was indeed surprising.

"Are you in there?" Gu Mian confirmed again. He had not found any other living people in the hospital in the killing game.

And why would a nobleman like Louis end up in a run-down hospital in a killing game?

No… Gu Mian remembered hearing some unusual sounds when she was in the corridor on the twelfth floor.

Honkai Impact 3rd: "That's right, I heard that voice in the hospital corridor in Chapter 91."
