Chapter 779 Let's make a hat for Louis together

"Did the people who lived there leave anything behind?" Gu Mian asked.

Mingliang didn't know why Gu Mian asked this. He thought for a moment and shook his head: "Nothing was left, only a mattress, a quilt and some trash."

It seems I'll have to go look for the power distribution room he mentioned after I get out," Gu Mian thought to herself.

007 was silent for a while. She really wanted to know where Ren Leshan had gone, but she also knew that now was not the time to discuss it.

Thinking this, she pulled out a colorful flyer: "Look at this."

She handed the flyer to Gu Mian: "Chu Changge got this from the upper-class neighborhood when he passed by."

Gu Mian took it and looked down at it—

The shocking arrival of 'Trial and Crown' is imminent.

The crown of ignorance! The crown of cowardice! The crown of greed!

The foolish set the world ablaze alone, the cowardly wander aimlessly with their ears closed, and the greedy gaze longingly into the abyss of evil.

Those who willingly plunge into the abyss will face the judgment of the world.

[The condemned: Louis, a traitor from the upper class (former ringmaster of the Love and Justice Circus)]

[Judge: The selection will take place in a clean, hygienic, and professionally managed inferior rearing area]

[Executioner: The winner of the lower-class trial panel]

"Judgment and Crown..."

Killing in the secret forest told him that the variety show where Louis was tried was called "Trial and Crown," and it clearly stated that the person being punished was Louis.

This is the variety show that Gu Mian and her friends are going to participate in.

It seems that Chu Changge retrieved something very useful from the upper-class residential area.

"The judges will conduct the selection in a clean and hygienic professional confinement area for the lower classes..." Gu Mian read the words on the leaflet. This was to have the lower classes judge Louis and inflict torture on him.

The activity has three more phases below.

The first stage of the preliminary election can be briefly summarized as canvassing for votes. Lower-class people give speeches at polling stations, while upper-class people watch the voting. The lower-class people who receive the most votes advance to the second stage.

The second stage is the elimination period, where fifty people compete on stage, and the top ten advance to the third stage.

The third stage, the coronation period, can be colloquially referred to as the handicraft stage, which involved ten people making hats for beloved Louis.

Gu Mian felt that this hat was definitely not a normal hat. The upper class would not go to such lengths to put on such a program just to make a hat for Louis.

“This is difficult,” Gu Mian said, looking at the judge’s column. “The first batch of lower-class people will be selected in a clean and hygienic professional lower-class breeding area. They will choose people from a clean and hygienic enclosure, but we were not raised in captivity, so we can only be considered wild.”

They don't even qualify to participate in the competition.

However, when leaving the Secret Forest, Killer told Gu Mian that he had a friend who ran a photo studio on the second floor of the game city, and this friend could help them obtain a proper identity.

The photo studio was called "Catching Turtles in the Ninth Heaven Photo Studio".

"Let's go to the second floor and find a photo studio first," Gu Mian said, stepping into the building and turning back to look at Dai Huanhuan. "Do you know a photo studio called 'Catching Turtles in the Nine Heavens'?"

Dai Huanhuan was taken aback; he really did know: "I know it. It's on the second floor here. I'll take you there."

As he spoke, he naturally walked to the front and began to lead the way, showing no remorse whatsoever for betraying his fellow human beings.

He didn't know what Gu Mian and the others were doing in this world; he only knew that Gu Mian had promised to help him raise money.

So he led the way with a clear conscience, as if he had completely integrated into Gu Mian's criminal gang.

007 had already put Xiao Hei back on the ground. Xiao Hei seemed to like her too, stretching on the ground before eagerly following behind, lingering around 007's feet. "By the way, Gu Mian, you mentioned the world rollback in the group chat before, could you elaborate?" 007 asked.

Time was of the essence at the time, so Gu Mian only briefly told them the whole story in the group chat, without giving a clear account.

Since he had some time, he walked along and told Chu Changge and 007 the whole story of the time-travel incident, describing how he came to the Secret Forest and encountered Slaughter, how he saw the story of the Evil God, and also told them about the magical uses of the Evil God statue.

“It’s like a wish-granting machine. The motorcycle you saw at the mall entrance was something I created myself using the statue,” Gu Mian said to 007.

007 thought the motorcycle looked distorted at first glance, and now she knows why.

"The Slaughter also gave me another leaf brooch left by the Evil God. It doesn't seem to be of much use, but it can make a pair with the one I had before." As he spoke, he pointed to the green brooch pinned to his right chest.

He also wore a leaf brooch on the left side of his chest, parallel to the one on the right. The two brooches were symmetrically pinned to Gu Mian's left and right chests, which looked quite comical.

007 looked at the brooch left behind by the evil god: "I never imagined this world had rewound so many times before, nor did I expect its original purpose to be... for the hero to lead everyone to defeat evil..."

She could hardly bring herself to say the last sentence. Looking at the world now, not only have "heroes" disappeared, but even "everyone" has vanished.

The world is divided into only two classes: the upper class and the lower class. The difference between them is greater than the difference between humans and animals.

Brightness fell behind them.

007 has already explained to him that this is not a dungeon and that the mall is safe.

At first, he was listening to the conversation between Gu Mian and the others, but he hadn't walked around the mall so comfortably in a long time, and soon his attention was drawn to the diverse array of shops around him.

Various strange creatures would occasionally walk by, and Mingliang would secretly glance at them sideways.

"It seems that Earth has been hindering the script they created, forcing this world to keep rewinding until it became what it is today;" Chu Changge pushed up his glasses, "By the way, Gu Mian, you said that when you and Sha Lu were running up from underground, Sha Lu said a lot of unlucky things, but the statues still haven't come to fruition?"

“Yes.” Gu Mian also found it strange.

That statue is the kind of thing that will eagerly grant your wish as soon as it senses your thought.

But none of the things they said underground came true; they escaped unharmed and made their way to the surface through a hinged door.

Chu Changge thought for a moment, then looked up at Gu Mian and asked, "Can you tell me the specific process of how you escaped from underground to the surface?"

"There wasn't anything specific. He just kept saying things like 'earthquake,' 'flood,' and 'we're going to die here,' but none of them came true. I pulled him up the stairs, and when we got to the top, we pushed open the hinged door and escaped."

"Push open the hinged door?" Chu Changge grasped the key point.

"Yes, it opens with a push from below."

"When the killing took you down from up there, did that hinged door also open with a simple push?"

Gu Mian frowned, recalling the scene when she went down: "No..."

When they went down, Killer searched for the key to the hinged door for a long time.

Once you find the key, insert it into the lock, and the hinged door will automatically transform into a downward staircase.

He even praised the device as very intelligent.

So... when he escaped from underground, the way he simply pushed open the hinged door was actually wrong. This thing can't be pushed open at all; instead, you need to insert a key to turn it into a staircase.

But by then he had long forgotten about that and naturally pushed open that "ordinary hinged door."

At this moment, Gu Mian recalled that when she drove away on her motorcycle, she saw in the rearview mirror that Sha Lu had taken off the helmet that prevented him from making wishes, as if he was no longer afraid that his wishes would come true at any time.

When his motorcycle reached the NPC street, two more wheels grew on it due to his strong desire, but by then he was already far away from the evil god statue, so he probably couldn't make his wish.

Thinking of this, a bizarre idea popped into his mind.

After a hard-fought battle, Gugu finally won the revival match and was revived after watching the ad!
