Global Collapse

Chapter 173 Three kinds of creatures
Pi Peng was somewhat surprised: "Boss, where did you hear this from... I have no idea about such a thing."

Bai Yuhu touched his waist: "How could I let you know about something like this? I definitely have to keep it tightly under wraps, otherwise it could cause panic."

As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and continued, "So as long as we kill this person on the wanted list, we will get a lot of resources, more than the resources our brothers get from dozens of dungeons we've been through with bated breath."

At this moment, the second brother next to him suddenly leaned over and said, "It's not far now, it's just ahead... It looks like it's in a building up ahead."

Bai Yuhu looked up and saw a two-story pavilion not far ahead, a type of building commonly seen in period dramas.

"A brothel?" Pi Peng seemed to realize something.

He must have seen many brothels in TV dramas, so he called out the name naturally.

The people behind them also looked at the two-story building in front with great interest.

"There are definitely no girls inside..."

"Was he going inside to fulfill the conditions of the riddle?"

At this moment, Pi Peng looked at Bai Yuhu nervously: "Boss, that person is the only wanted criminal on the wanted list. Although he may not have a team, I think even one person like that can give us a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry," Bai Yuhu said, walking quickly forward. "That person told me that although Gu Mian has a great reputation, he's actually quite weak... at least weaker than us."

He paused here, then lowered his voice: "His physical abilities seem unable to improve, so it's only a matter of time before he's killed. The game hasn't been around for very long, so we can't see a huge difference yet. But given time, anyone can easily take care of this wanted criminal."

Bai Yuhu continued walking forward: "So we have to act quickly, or this piece of meat will belong to someone else."

Pi Peng listened to Bai Yuhu's words with a puzzled expression. He knew that a mysterious person had told their boss about Gu Mian.

However, this mysterious person and Bai Yuhu only communicated through a single channel, so no one else had ever seen this person.

Pi Peng couldn't help but express his doubts: "Boss, don't be fooled. This doesn't sound very reliable to me."

Bai Yuhu smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, even if Gu Mian really has three heads and six arms, and we can't do anything about it, I have ways to escape."

At this moment, the fat man was timidly following behind the group.

He noticed that the group seemed to be targeting the two-story building in front of them, which gave him a headache.

"The doctor might be in that two-story building up ahead that looks like a brothel. I need to go and warn him..." The fat man muttered to himself as he adjusted the Rose Night on his back. "Let's take a shortcut and see if we can run there."

Just as he hesitated for a second, intending to walk in another direction, his arm was suddenly patted.

The fat man flinched and immediately turned around to look.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw who was behind him; it was Han Shan.

Behind him followed Guigu, who was timidly peeking out. Guigu looked reluctant and hesitant to speak.

Han Shan wasted no time. He pointed to a two-story building not far ahead and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

The fat man nodded: "Avoid that group of people in front."

Han Shan glanced at Bai Yuhu and the others in front of him, then turned around and said, "Come with me."

At this moment, Chu Changge and Mr. Green were standing in a corridor, while Gu Mian had found a large room with a mirror.

Apart from a somewhat eerie mirror, there was nothing else in the room.

The mirror in this room is quite large; it's not one of those small, square makeup mirrors.

It is a huge floor-length mirror, like the mirror in the fitting room of a clothing store.

The mirror is so big, it's obviously meant to make it easier to see what's inside.

"An empty room with a bright mirror. Turn off all light sources and stand with your back to the mirror for one minute. What will you see when you turn around?"

Chu Changge still remembered the riddle on the lantern. At this moment, Gu Mian had just gone in, and the two of them were standing not far from the door, quietly listening to the sounds.

I don't know why Mr. Green looks so nervous.

"They've been inside for so long, and there's been no sound. Is everything alright inside?" Mr. Green clenched his fist.

Chu Changge glanced at the time; Gu Mian had only been inside for a dozen seconds, and the allotted time hadn't even expired.

He looked down at Mr. Green beside him: "Who are you worried about?"

Mr. Green choked for a moment.

At this moment, Chu Changge was standing by the railing looking at the ground below. He paused for a moment, then spoke to the green-clad figure beside him: "Are you able to go back this time?"

Mr. Green was somewhat wary: "As long as Gu Mian doesn't cause any more trouble, I can go back."

As he said this, he seemed to remember something: "I'm talking about you guys..."

But just then, Chu Changge suddenly interrupted Mr. Green: "It seems there are people down there."

Mr. Green tiptoed down and saw a group of people approaching. He roughly counted them: "What a big group, at least five or six, right?"

Chu Changge nodded: "They've come looking for us. Judging from the current situation, they're probably going to make a mess of things."

Mr. Green called out anxiously, "Wait..."

But just as he spoke, Chu Changge suddenly reached out and grabbed him: "Let's go first."

The white jade tiger below heard the sound.

The group looked up and saw a green figure being pulled into the shadows by another figure in the second-floor corridor, and then disappearing from sight.

Pi Peng hesitated for a moment: "Is that Gu Mian?"

Bai Yuhu shook his head: "No, it's that four-eyed guy. I don't know the one in green."

At this moment, the second brother, who was holding the locator, looked up and said, "The accurate location is in this building. Gu Mian and this four-eyed guy are often together. As long as the four-eyed guy is here, he can't run away either."

Bai Yuhu looked at the spot where the two people had disappeared above and smiled: "Let's go up to the second floor, hurry up."

Pi Peng was puzzled: "Boss, what if the doctor is on the first floor? If we go straight up, won't he get away?"

“Of course we need to leave a few people on the first floor to keep watch, but he’s most likely in that room on the second floor.” Bai Yuhu raised his chin and looked at a room.

Pipeng looked down his boss's chin and saw that there was indeed a room that was different from the others.

The doors of the surrounding houses were all ajar, except for that one room which was tightly shut, as if not a breath of wind could get in.

"Gu Mian is probably playing some kind of riddle game inside. Let's go up and interrupt him, then surround him in that room and trap him," Bai Yuhu said.

Mr. Green had already been pulled into a corner by Chu Changge. He struggled slightly, saying, "What are you doing? Why did you suddenly drag me here! Shouldn't you have stopped them from going inside? The doctor can do his riddle-solving task inside!"

Chu Changge shook his head slightly: "I calculated that the time when this group of people entered the house was about one minute after Gu Mian went in."

One minute later, something that shouldn't be there will appear in the mirror.

And the person who goes in will just bump into that thing.

Gu Mian, a ghost, and the pursuers.

At that time, these three creatures will gather together.
