Global Collapse

Chapter 154 The Master of Courting Death [Thanks to snartshaw for the patronage]

within the copy.

Yuwen Hao was still staring in astonishment at the driver in front of him who had suddenly vomited blood.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.

The dense raindrops pounded down, creating a noisy, pattering sound in the darkness, which sounded somewhat muffled.

But Yuwen Hao was completely unaware that it had started raining heavily outside.

He stared wide-eyed at the person in front of him, his mouth agape.

"Who am I? Where am I? What happened?"

These three questions kept swirling in Yuwen Hao's mind.

Why do NPCs in dungeons recognize players in the real world?
Why do they seem to have a history of enmity?

Why did the driver suddenly bleed?
In the end what happened!
At that moment, his mind was a jumbled mess, leaving him no room for thought. He could only instinctively open his mouth wide and stare blankly at the driver who was still bleeding in front of him.

The driver's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.

The wicked smile from before had vanished. Now, the driver clutched the bleeding spot on his neck, seemingly too weak to even speak.

Even so, Yuwen Hao saw him tremble as he spat out a few words: "Why!"

I want to know too! Yuwen Hao's hands trembled as he desperately gripped the car door handle, trying to push the door open.

The driver in front was still yelling loudly.

"No...this is impossible, I've recovered, and he's gone..."

The person slumped against the back of the car in front of him had his mouth opening and closing. Even though he seemed to have little strength left, his eyes were still wide open, as if he had died with his eyes open in disbelief.

The driver was probably seriously injured, as he spoke haltingly, needing to catch his breath after every few words.

It's very cold here. It's already chilly inside the car, and when you go outside and get blown by the wind, your nose starts to run.

But Yuwen Hao felt hot all over and was covered in sweat. No matter how hard he tried to open the door, he couldn't open it. The more he couldn't open it, the more anxious he became.

At this moment, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Open the door! Open the door!" Yuwen Hao tried to stay as far away from the driver in front as possible, praying softly.

"Impossible...impossible," the blood-soaked man slumped against the seat in front of him muttered incoherently, as if he had gone mad: "I won't die! Nobody can kill me!"

His voice rose slightly as he said this, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death.

Yuwen Haokan reached for the axe that had just landed on the passenger seat.

"damn it……"

He heard the driver, who sounded like he was about to die, saying something.

"Damn white coats..."

"It's all his fault!"

As the driver spoke, he glared menacingly at the anxious Yuwen Hao: "You...don't even think about escaping..."

"If we can't kill that guy in the white coat, can't we at least kill his friend?" — Yuwen Hao was certain he heard those words.

"What's going on?" Yuwen Hao opened his eyes wide in surprise and doubt.

It's already amazing that characters in the game can know people in the real world, but now, judging from what this driver is saying, it seems like his sudden transformation is related to that doctor named Gu Mian.

"kill……"

Just as the driver in front was about to utter the word "kill" while gripping the axe, Yuwen Hao finally opened the car door as he had wished.

He rushed out in a panic, but as soon as he stepped outside, he fell to the ground from the force of his movement.

Raindrops pounded hard on his head, but he was oblivious. He simply rolled over and stared intently at the driver still inside the car, as if afraid that the person inside would suddenly grab an axe and rush over.

Fortunately, the man was indeed on his deathbed. Even though he held the axe, he didn't have the strength to swing it. He could only look at Yuwen Hao on the ground with a pair of resentful eyes.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yuwen Hao, who was sitting on the ground, shivered.

I don't know if it was from the cold or from being frightened by his resentful gaze.

"I won't die... I can't die..."

He saw the driver take a deep breath.

"No one can kill me, no one..."

"Only I can kill others... No one else can kill me!" Yuwen Hao heard the driver's voice gradually weaken, but his eyes showed no sign of closing. Instead, they grew even larger, as if his eyeballs were about to pop out.

The driver's eyes gleamed with a strange light, almost blinding in the darkness.

Yuwen Hao was so frightened that he crawled back a few steps.

The wind howled, slanting the raindrops.

The biting wind brought the man who had fallen to the ground back to his senses slightly. He wiped the rain from his face and swallowed hard. "I'd better get out of here quickly..."

Yuwen Hao muttered to himself as he shakily got up, intending to leave.

Just as he was watching the driver back out of the car, the driver, whose eyes were wide open, slightly opened his mouth again.

This time, his voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible, and Yuwen Hao knew that this person was not far from death.

He saw the person inside the car opening and closing their mouth, uttering faint sounds.

Even with the sound of pouring rain around him, Yuwen Hao still managed to hear those barely audible words—"Bitch! That bitch!"

Bitch?

Yuwen Hao, still backing away, swallowed hard. Was she talking about Gu Mian...?

Just as he was sorting out his thoughts, the driver, who was leaning on the back of the driver's seat, opened his mouth wide again, as if he wanted to shout something.

But he could no longer shout.

He opened his mouth, his neck lolled to the side, and he died, still clutching the axe handle tightly in his hand.

That "bitch" was the last thing the driver said in the car.

Yuwen Hao watched as he breathed his last, his mouth agape. His eyes remained wide open, but the light of life was gone. Yet, anger and resentment lingered on his face, as if he wanted to kill someone.

But he ultimately failed to achieve his goal, and thus died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Can anyone tell me what happened..." Yuwen Hao muttered to himself as he backed away, trying to leave.

This scene is absolutely terrifying and bizarre.

"What happened? Why did Gu Mian get involved in this? How did he know this driver...? Why did this driver suddenly die?"

In an instant, countless questions flooded Yuwen Hao's mind, giving him a terrible headache.

However, an even more troublesome thing immediately followed.

In the rainy night, just seconds after the driver in the car passed away, Yuwen Hao found that his panel suddenly appeared, with some familiar content on it.

This is a copy crash notification.

[WARNING! Danger source missing from instance!]

[Attempting to repair the source of the danger...]

[System analysis error! Task target does not exist!]

This instance will soon become unusable!

[All players in the instance will be forcibly teleported out of the instance in ten seconds. Please be aware!]

【10, 9, 8...】

"Holy crap?" Yuwen Hao exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on... I saw the instance crash notification again?"

After separating from Gu Mian in the "Fatal Curse" instance, he went through several more instances without any instances crashing.

He never imagined he would see a notification of a game crash like this again in his lifetime.

"The last time the dungeon crashed because that doctor cut off the ghost's head, why is it crashing this time?!" He widened his eyes. "And I have a feeling this dungeon crash is definitely related to that doctor too..."

After all, Gu Mian is someone who's constantly on the dungeon crash announcements and wanted lists; it's rumored that no dungeon he targets survives past the next day.

He's practically a master of costly mistakes.

While other players are being chased and driven to their wits' end in terrifying dungeons, other dungeons are experiencing the same ordeal.

Therefore, the current situation makes people think about Gu Mian.

"That man..."

Thinking of this, Yuwen Hao suddenly realized something: "Could it be that Gu Mian's power is already so great that the dungeon collapsed just because she mentioned it briefly?"

The author calculated that there are already three alliance leaders and nearly forty branch leaders, and ninety chapters are owed (shedding tears of joy and pain ·jpg).
