Global Collapse

Chapter 669 This is not for eating!
"Why do you all have that expression when you take pictures?" the NPC asked curiously, looking at the photos in his hand.

His sigh just now wasn't because he discovered anything supernatural, but rather because he was struck by the strange expressions on the faces of the people taking the photos.

In the photo, apart from Gu Mian who is smiling broadly and making a peace sign, everyone else looks like they're wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? What place is this?"

This is normal. Most players are like this when they first enter a dungeon. It would be abnormal for someone to immediately react by smiling and making a peace sign.

Aside from the strange expressions on the faces of a few people, there was nothing else wrong with the photo. Wen Qin, having missed her target, turned her attention to Gu Mian.

"This player can adapt to the environment in such a short time; he must be extraordinary," he thought to himself.

At this moment, Gu Mian was using a big data search tool, considering whose name to enter.

“This is the First World. Theoretically, we should enter number one to find his location,” Gu Mian said, looking at the input box at the bottom of the big data search. “But who knows how far away he is from us? It would be troublesome if he were on the other side of this world.”

Besides Number One, Gu Mian can also inquire about the evil god.

I've heard that evil gods create clones in every world.

If you search for an evil god, you're more likely to find a close-range clone.

He might search for "evil god clone" and find that the person is right next to him.

At this moment, Chu Changge's voice came from the side: "I think we may not need to search anymore."

what?
Gu Mian looked up at him, only to find that he was staring at someone next to him.

Gu Mian followed Chu Changge's gaze and looked to the side, where she saw a man wearing a blue hoodie with a bright smile on his face.

Gu Mian recognized this face.

It was Xu Xingcheng.

Gu Mian looked him up and down a few times and discovered that this guy actually had a player panel.

Goodness, are evil god clones this advanced now? They can even impersonate players?

"It's great to see you again." Xu Xingcheng was very enthusiastic, expressing his joy at seeing Gu Mian again right away, unlike those flashy and cheap women outside.

If other NPCs saw Gu Mian, they wouldn't show the slightest bit of happiness on their faces. If they put their faces in front of a grave, they could start wailing.

But evil gods are different.

Although Gu Mian broke some of his small parts, he didn't care at all and still generously welcomed Gu Mian's arrival, even wanting to give her a hug.

Gu Mian silently turned her body slightly to avoid Xu Xingcheng's loving embrace.

"Is this really an evil god?" He looked at Chu Changge, expressing doubt about Xu Xingcheng's identity.

“Although the temperament doesn’t quite match the name,” Chu Changge said, “it is indeed a genuine clone.”

He looks so happy...

Looking at the enthusiastic Xu Xingcheng, Gu Mian felt that the name "Slaughter" was a mistake. How could such a hospitable NPC be called Slaughter?

"Warm and friendly" would be a more accurate description.

This hospitable evil god personally disguised himself as a player and came over, saving Gu Mian the trouble of searching for him.

Just as Gu Mian was about to ask him how he found her, the players who had been looking at the photos returned.

There were nine people in the group photo just now, which are the nine players from the dungeon.

Of course, there was one fake player mixed in with these people.

"Hello." Wen Qintan spoke first. He looked at the doctor with the green hair above Gu Mian's head, and then at Chu Changge and Xu Xingcheng beside him. "Are the three of you together?"

"Barely," Gu Mian nodded silently.

“The four of us are together too.” Tan Jiu pointed to the three people behind him.

Gu Mian looked in the direction he was pointing.

Behind him were one man and two women.

The male player's nickname is "Dew From Tonight White".

The two female players' nicknames are "Lemon Isn't Sour" and "Yu Ji 235" respectively.

The three players nodded at him and gave him friendly smiles, though not as warm as Xu Xingcheng's.

Tan Jiu stared curiously at the green text above Gu Mian's head: "You're a professional gamer, aren't you?"

“Yes,” Gu Mian said righteously, “I am a healer, specializing in saving lives in dungeons. If you are about to die, you can come to me. Of course, if you are completely dead, don’t come.”

Tan Jiu chuckled slightly: "You're... really funny." It's rare to hear someone make such a joke in a horror game.

He then made a few polite remarks, saying, "I hope we can all work together to survive this dungeon," before looking at the others.

Besides Gu Mian's trio and Tan Jiu's quartet, there are two other players.

One of them was a female player who wore glasses and had a scholarly air about her; Gu Mian noticed her nickname was "Su Lian".

She smiled gently at the group and said, "I was matched into this instance myself, and I hope we can get along well."

Yes, a lone wolf player.

Tan Jiu nodded, then turned to find the other remaining player.

But after scanning the surroundings, he still couldn't find the last player.

"Where is he?" Tan Jiu asked, somewhat taken aback.

He remembered that there were indeed nine people taking the photo together, so why is one missing?

Has the ghost started killing people? Has one player already fallen victim to it?

Or is the person who disappeared perhaps a ghost hiding among them?
He took a few steps back, worried, and wanted to call out to let the other players leave first.

Just then, a rustling sound came from behind the pine tree next to the stone tablet.

Several players cautiously retreated, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Then they saw a timid person peek out from behind the tree; it was the last player. Upon seeing the player's face, Gu Mian understood why this person had been hiding so stealthily.

He recognized this man.

Hao Laoshi.

He and this player seem to have a special connection; they've met three times in total, and this is the fourth time.

Gu Mian first met him in a copy of the driving instructor's license.

This honest man died mysteriously somewhere out of his sight.

Because he was just a stranger, Gu Mian didn't pay much attention to him.

Unexpectedly, he later encountered this honest uncle again in the "University Ghost Stories" instance. At that time, the honest uncle ran away in fear after seeing Chu Changge, which puzzled Gu Mian.

It's worth mentioning that Xu Xingcheng first appeared in the "University Ghost Stories" instance, but Hao Laoshi and Xu Xingcheng did not meet.

Then Gu Mian ran into this uncle again at the college entrance examination event.

During the college entrance examination activities, Hao Laoshi finally told Gu Mian why he ran away as soon as he saw Chu Changge.

He said that in the driving school instance, he was thrown to the ghost by Chu Changge, so ever since then he has been afraid whenever he sees Chu Changge.

The honest uncle also advised Gu Mian not to get too close to Chu Changge, lest she be secretly stabbed to death one day.

Hao Laoshi, who was behind the tree, was cautiously watching this side. When he saw Gu Mian next to Chu Changge, he gave her a look that said, "You'll regret not listening to your elders."

"What's wrong with you?" Wen Qin asked curiously, looking at Hao Laoshi behind the tree, then lowered her voice and asked, "Did you see a ghost?"

Hao Laoshi's gaze darted between Chu Changge and Gu Mian for a moment before he finally stammered, "No...no..."

So what happened to you?

Just as Wen Qin was about to ask a question, a bus parked on the side of the road suddenly honked its horn.

Gu Mian turned her head and saw that the NPC who had been taking pictures earlier was now sitting in the driver's seat of the bus, looking out the window at them: "What are you doing? Why aren't you getting on the bus? Didn't you say you were tired and wanted to go back early?"

Liu Yin felt that some of his colleagues were a bit strange.

They suddenly became somewhat unfamiliar, and their behavior was strange.

Are you too tired today?
Players are also pondering this dungeon.

The instance didn't give specific tasks, only that you need to survive for three days.

They're clueless right now and can only go with the flow for the time being.

"Get in the car first," Wen Qin said, glancing at Hao Laoshi, who was cowering behind a tree. "We'll talk in the car."
