Global Collapse

Chapter 167 The East Window Catches Fire
"First, we need to find an empty room with a mirror..."

Gu Mian glanced around: "This doesn't seem easy to find."

"Secondly, we need to split up; only one person can go in at a time..."

Gu Mian concluded: "In the end, this thing can actually be called a riddle?"

Chu Changge also looked at the lantern in front of him: "In the game activities of the supernatural game, you can't expect him to ask you what one plus one equals."

Gu Mian touched her chin and looked at the lantern next to her.

There are quite a few lanterns in this courtyard, giving people a lot of choices, but these problems are really getting worse and worse.

There was a lantern nearby with an even more outrageous mystery.

How many lanterns are there in the activity area?

After looking at the riddle, Gu Mian turned her head back to the lantern she had just seen: "I think this riddle is more reliable."

To be honest, Gu Mian had never done anything this exciting before.

Knowing full well that she wasn't very lucky, Gu Mian had never tried this kind of horror game before.

But now he has no choice but to try.

"First, find an empty room, and there should be a mirror in the room." Gu Mian said, looking around.

They are now in the backyard of a mansion.

In some corners, there were still some props from the film crew piled up, and they even saw a tent set up not far away, probably for sunshade.

The global game started rather abruptly, and the crew didn't even have time to pack up their gear.

Gu Mian took two steps forward: "There must be an empty room with a mirror here. Let's find it first."

Chu Changge nodded.

Meanwhile, somewhere, a somewhat thin middle-aged man was climbing out of a basement.

"Pah!" he spat as he crawled out. "It's so filthy down there, it stinks."

Following closely behind him was a slightly younger person who spoke in a very soft voice: "Yeah, yeah, it's suffocating me..."

If the fat man were there, he would recognize that these were the voices of the two people he heard while hiding in the closet.

Bai Yuhu spat twice, then looked up and around.

They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that there were no terrifying ghosts or monsters around.

The man next to him, whose game nickname was Pipeng, also cautiously looked up at his surroundings. The area was empty; there were no ghosts or anyone else.

Seeing this, Pi Peng asked in a low voice, "Boss, should we solve the riddles first or go find someone first?"

He also remembered that they had another purpose for participating in the event.

Since the wanted list was released, many people have been very concerned about this person named Gu Mian.

Not long ago, someone told them that Gu Mian was coming to Hengdian.

This is great news.

Killing this person will immediately grant you 15,000 game coins, several special items, and dozens of attribute points.

Keep in mind that you only get a couple hundred game points for completing a dungeon these days.

Killing one person can be equivalent to completing a hundred dungeons, so why not?
The man told them that there was a fat man and a bespectacled man with Gu Mian, who were always wearing white coats and carrying a large bag, making them very distinctive.

They recognized Gu Mian at a glance when she arrived, but due to the large number of troops in the city, they did not take action immediately.

Bai Yuhu, who was called the boss, nodded slightly: "Let's look at the riddles first, and then decide what to do next based on the situation."

They want to kill people during the event, but they also want to profit from it.

Ideally, they would gain something from the killing while also getting the kill done. But just as the two men saw the riddle on the nearest lantern, they abandoned their plan to solve it first.

Two people walked side by side in a narrow alley, eyes closed; each retreated to opposite ends, and upon reaching the end, suddenly opened their eyes—who had a phantom shadow behind them?

This means they need to find an alley, close their eyes, and back up to either end of the alley. They can only open their eyes when they both reach the end of the alley.

Because the two were backing away from each other, facing each other, they could clearly see what was behind the other when they opened their eyes...

Looking at the riddle, Pi Peng felt a chill.

He took a deep breath: "Boss, this event only says that every fifteen minutes, the lanterns will release ghosts... but it didn't say that there were no ghosts here before, right?"

If they follow this advice, they might open their eyes and see a ghostly figure behind them.

The scariest thing isn't having a ghostly figure behind the other person... the scariest thing is having nothing at all behind them.

Thinking of this, Pi Peng shuddered violently.

Bai Yuhu's face paled as he looked at the riddle: "Even within these fifteen minutes, we are not safe. It seems that there are some ghosts in Hengdian. If we follow the riddle, we will most likely encounter the ghosts that were already here."

“Then we…” Pipeng hesitated.

Bai Yuhu hesitated for a moment: "Let's find people first. Anyway, the reward for solving these riddles might not be as much as killing someone. Let's look for people while we look at these riddles. If there are any easy ones, let's try them first."

In this activity, dying is truly dying.

Although facing death in a dungeon can be terrifying, most people feel a sense of distance and don't experience that deep-seated fear.

But not in this activity; they face real death.

The night wind was blowing and it was a bit chilly.

Pipon felt his neck go numb from the cold. He looked at the white lanterns swaying in the wind above him, and the scene was somewhat eerie.

He wrapped his clothes tighter around himself.

Bai Yuhu glanced at the time and said, "Three more minutes have passed. We need to find someone quickly... But this place is too big. Oh well, let's walk around and see. If we can't find the doctor, we'll find Lao Er first. He has a locator that can pinpoint the doctor's location."

The architecture here is similar to that in Qing Dynasty dramas, and because there are hardly any people around, it looks eerie.

Pi Peng followed behind Bai Yuhu, feeling a little apprehensive.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people participating in the event. Although the place was large, we still encountered people after walking for a few minutes.

Pipeng craned his neck to look in the direction from which the noise was coming; it was a person in military uniform.

Many military personnel also managed to obtain tickets to the event, so it's not surprising to see soldiers there.

However, the troops were obviously dispersed after the operation began, so now all you see are individual soldiers.

Bai Yuhu paused for a moment.

He noticed that the lone man in military uniform in front of him had also noticed him.

After staring at each other for a while, Bai Yuhu, with Pi Peng behind him, made a slight turn to avoid the people in front.

Pi Peng was puzzled: "Why does the boss want to go around that?"

Bai Yuhu shook his head: "We'd better avoid contact with the military. The military is currently the largest organization, so we shouldn't attract their attention."

(By the way, those who read pirated versions and then criticize me in the book review section are not good people!)

Today, I wanted to focus on writing, but a fight broke out in the book club group, so I'm going to put out the fire first (panic).
