Global Collapse

Chapter 767 The Ugly Mr. Gu's Wanted Poster ×2
Gu Mian discovered that the statues of the evil god had a strange habit: they would break into pieces every time they saw her as a sign of welcome.

He also wanted to try making a wish for world peace later.

Well, before he could even make a wish, the statue shattered.

Gu Mian watched as the crack that stretched downwards from the crown grew larger and deeper. It was as if the evil god had grown a gaping maw on its face, constantly widening and trying to devour everything in its path.

Soon the crack meandered to the waist, and it spread outwards like a river. Before long, the entire statue was covered with tiny cracks.

It finally reached its breaking point, and collapsed with a crash after Gu Mian took a step back, raising a cloud of dust.

Gu Mian coughed a few times while holding the dog.

The mechanical dog in its arms probably thought the statue in front of it was unhappy, so it dutifully turned its head toward the ruins to ask if the statue was happy or not.

It's all shattered like this, there's no way it can be happy anymore.

Gu Mian waved her hands twice to clear the dust in front of her, then looked down at the scattered fragments at her feet.

The killing vanished in a matter of minutes, and the intact statue suddenly shattered.

The complete statue shattered... Louis had discussed this situation with him before...

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Gu Mian's heart.

He immediately wanted to open the panel to check the [10-person group chat], but before he could open the panel, the ground beneath his feet began to shake, followed by a rumbling sound from the ruins in front of him.

Gu Mian looked up at the pile of ruins in front of her, which resembled a small mountain.

Beneath the ruins, something enormous seemed to be moving, thumping and trying to emerge. Small pieces of debris on the ruins were shaken and rolled down by the unknown creature inside. As more and more fragments rolled to one side, the giant creature finally emerged.

Gu Mian saw a human head slowly rise from the pile of ruins, like a seed breaking through the soil and growing rapidly. It grew taller and taller in the dim cave, growing a body and stretching out its limbs, and finally maturing into the shape of a human.

It's another brand new statue, exactly the same as the one before.

Gu Mian stared at the newly grown statue, knowing that her ominous premonition had come true.

It shattered and was reborn, having undergone a rollback.

The killing suddenly disappeared because of a rollback; at this point in time, he doesn't know where he is.

Gu Mian felt like cursing. She didn't know how far back in time they had traveled back. What if they had traveled back hundreds of years? That would be ridiculous.

"Although the game was rolled back, my memories haven't disappeared." Gu Mian quickly thought, "Don't the memories of us outsiders disappear during a rollback?"

He wanted to open the group chat for ten people to ask about Chu Changge and 007's situation.

But to be honest, he didn't know if the group chat could still be opened. If the world had really gone back hundreds of years, then the global game hadn't started yet, so he naturally wouldn't have a game panel.

That would be a bad situation.

Are they going to live here for hundreds of years waiting for the real world to launch the global game? Oh, by then they'll probably be dead.

Okay, let's see if the game panel can still be opened first.

Gu Mian was about to try opening the game panel when she heard the familiar cracking sound again.

The sound sent chills down his spine.

"No way?" He was still holding the dog in his arms. Hearing the sound, the man and the dog looked up again at the newly grown statue in front of them. They saw that a vertical crack had appeared on the statue's forehead, just like before.

Again?

Gu Mian understood that the world had rolled back again.

The world rewound twice in just a few minutes.

"Are you sick?" Gu Mian hugged the dog and took two steps back to avoid being hit by the broken statue.

He watched in bewilderment as the statue that had only recently appeared turned into ruins, and then another statue was unearthed.

But it's not over.

Just seconds after the third statue appeared, a crack appeared on its forehead, clearly indicating that it was about to perform "peace and safety in the face of broken pieces".

Gu Mian felt a twitch on his forehead, so he simply sat down on the stone steps to the side with his dog in his arms and watched the statues line up to perform their unique talents.

He counted on his fingers, repeating this five times before the world finally quieted down.

At this moment, the last statue to grow was half-covered by the surrounding ruins, and Gu Mian could only see its upper half. "It's rewound five times in just a short time, that must be hundreds of years ago." Gu Mian felt that the chances of her being able to access the player panel were extremely slim.

He had already begun to think about how to rescue Chu Changge and 007, whom he could no longer contact, and incidentally fulfill the unfinished wish of the evil god. The three of them could form a team of heroes to film an anime called "I, a person of inferiority, ruled the world".

It tells the story of the hero himself, along with the cunning strategist Chu Changge and the traitorous 007, who overthrows the rule of the upper class. I must say, the name 007 is quite suitable for a spy.

"Haha." Gu Mian chuckled dryly.

Although he had already started planning the script in his mind, he still tried to open the game panel, unwilling to give up.

"Ok?"

It can still be opened?

Without hesitation, after opening the game panel, Gu Mian immediately tried to open the [10-person group chat].

It actually opened.

There were also chat logs inside, but a few logs have disappeared, probably because the game was rolled back.

The two latest messages in the group at this time were sent by "Fatty".

[Fatty]: Doctor, Brother Chu, Miss 007, I observed through the binoculars that you disappeared. You should have entered the Paradise World by now, right? Can someone teleport you together?
[Fatty]: Why is no one talking? Doctor, please say something!
This is... the message the fat man sent when they first entered this world.

Has time rewound to when they first entered the amusement park?
Gu Mian was somewhat puzzled.

He glanced at the statue, almost completely engulfed in debris, then at the chat history in the group chat. This world had gone through five major reloads, only to return to yesterday?

Gu Mian thought she was going to travel back hundreds of years to take the place of the hero.

He typed in the chat box that he wanted to discuss the rollback with Chu Changge007.

I was typing when someone sent a new message in the group.

[007]: I was teleported to Crazy Game City, not far from Carnival Wharf.

Gu Mian stopped what she was doing, stared at the message 007 had sent, and slowly frowned.

007, just like when he arrived yesterday, reported his location.

If I remember correctly, Chu Changge should have announced his location in a few seconds.

Gu Mian waited a few seconds, but Chu Changge still didn't send a message.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Chu Changge's name finally appeared in the group chat.

[Chu Changge]: I live in Rat Head Alley, a low-class residential area.

Although it was a bit late, the message was exactly the same as the one they sent yesterday.

Gu Mian silently deleted the text he hadn't had time to send, and looked at the chat messages between 007 and Chu Changge.

Time indeed returned to yesterday, but these two people seemed unaware of the rollback; like the natives of this world, they had lost their memories of the time before the rollback.

Only I preserved the memories...

I wonder if this world rollback will affect the real world outside. Will the outside world also roll back? Will Fatty and the others' memories be erased?
Following yesterday's order of speaking, Gu Mian should be the next to send a message saying she's on Mantis Tail Street.

Gu Mian was editing a message to explain the world save file transfer to the other two when 007, who shouldn't have spoken, sent another message in the group.

[007]: I feel like something's not right.
After sending the message, 007 turned around and looked around a few times.

The glass ceiling overhead, the green-hatted dog handing out flyers not far away, and the city map in front of her were all so familiar, as if she had been here before.

Just then, the green dog saw her and trotted towards her with a flyer in its mouth.

For some reason, she always felt that this flyer was related to Gu Mian.

While she was thinking, the green dog trotted up to her, jumped up, shoved a flyer into her hand, and said through gritted teeth, "He's a big bad guy, this guy is a big bad guy."

007 looked down.

It's a wanted poster for the ugly Mr. Gu.

Okay, I posted an update right after dark today, hoping to reach 10,000 words a day!
