Global Collapse

Chapter 188 Two-Sided Happiness

"Doctor..." The fat man couldn't help but speak with some concern upon seeing this.

This little devil silently wiped out five grown men—no, he might have wiped out even more before, but they just didn't know it.

Moreover, there's nothing left where the door should be now, which is clearly a trick used by the ghost in front of them to prevent them from escaping.

Logically speaking, if the door is gone, you can jump out of the window. At this moment, the fat man looked somewhat guilty at the paper window through which a hazy light was shining into the room.

For some reason, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it wasn't a window, but a glowing panel that looked like a window.

Is this house haunted...?

Thinking of this, the fat man couldn't help but look at Gu Mian with some worry.

At this moment, Gu Mian was still pulling on the little girl's hair with one hand.

It seemed that because Gu Mian had taken action, the little girl on the ground finally quieted down, and the fat man no longer had to bear the risk of intermittent hearing loss.

Two black hair ties lay on the ground next to the girl. Gu Mian reached out and picked them up easily, without having to worry about what to use to tie the little girl's hair.

At this moment, Chu Changge took a few steps forward and squatted down next to Gu Mian: "Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Since he asked that question, he must have discovered something.

Gu Mian glanced at Chu Changge while holding the rubber band: "You noticed too?"

The fat man was a bit confused by what they were saying. He didn't quite understand what kind of riddles these two were talking about. When he went into the dungeon with these two, the fat man always felt that his IQ was not enough.

"There's blood on the ground and the walls. It looks like someone bled a lot and it splattered there, but there's very little blood. Theoretically, since there's splattered blood, there shouldn't be so little blood." Chu Changge looked up at the wall the girl was facing.

Gu Mian also noticed.

Although the room was dark, it couldn't hide his sharp eyesight.

He looked closely for several more times and concluded that the blood on the wall and the blood on the floor must have been splattered at the same time.

“This splattered blood must have come from a ruptured artery,” Gu Mian said, stroking her chin with her other hand. “Theoretically speaking, an ordinary person cannot tear apart another person’s artery with their bare hands unless they use a weapon.”

“Of course, it would be different if it were a ghost…” Gu Mian said, while looking at the little girl in front of her.

The fat man next to them stammered, "Hey, isn't it inappropriate for you to discuss this in front of her? Even if you want to discuss it, you should at least keep your voices down, or at least not let her hear!"

To be honest, Fatty has never seen anyone dare to be so unrestrained in front of ghosts.

Shouldn't a normal person be trembling with fear, then hurry up and fulfill the ghost's request, braiding their hair and running away?
Even if she didn't wear braids, she would never talk nonsense here.

Unfortunately, Gu Mian ignored the fat man and continued to spout nonsense in the dim light: "Even though she's sitting, I can tell she's less than 1.2 meters tall..."

"And he's skinny, but his nails are really long, and his hands are covered in dust. How long has it been since he washed them? And it seems like he's causing some kind of harm... I could probably knock him away with one punch."

Fatty: "..."

"Alright, I won't waste any more time." Seeing the fat man's face gradually fall, Gu Mian quickly changed the subject: "There's no blood on his hands, the murder weapon might not be his hand."

The fat man felt that what was supposed to be a supernatural scene was gradually turning into a murder scene.

Although both scenes were quite terrifying, the former was slightly more terrifying.

At this moment, Chu Changge suddenly patted Gu Mian.

Gu Mian turned to look at him, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at the back of the girl's head, as if gesturing for Gu Mian to look in his direction.

Gu Mian also looked over.

But just as his gaze fell on the back of her head, the little girl suddenly burst into a loud noise.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-"

This time, her voice finally had intonation.

It was a frantic scream, deafening, like a roar of rage. At the same time, Gu Mian saw the girl who had been sitting in front of him suddenly stand up, then tilt her head to the side, turning her entire head towards him.

The fat man was terrified. He took several steps back and even considered taking out some special items for self-defense.

But since he didn't seem to have anything impressive to offer, he subconsciously pulled out a large cauldron to attract hatred.

Although this thing is a blunt weapon, it feels pretty good to swing.

It wasn't until he picked up the pot that the fat man realized what was happening.

"What's going on?" He opened his mouth slightly. "Shouldn't I run away immediately if I see a ghost? Why did I have the guts to pull out a weapon!"

The fat man, while holding the pot, dared to glance at the little girl next to Gu Mian.

That glance startled him so much that he almost smashed the pot in his hand.

Many ghost stories feature a scene like this: a hapless person passes by an alley in the middle of the night and finds a little girl squatting in a corner crying. The hapless person wants to help her, but when the little girl looks up, he discovers that she has the back of her head on both sides.

Of course, since the protagonist of this story is called the Unlucky Man, he certainly won't leave this alley alive.

In the ghost story, all the unlucky people died, except for Gu Mian who barely survived until now.

And now, the unlucky Gu Mian has also encountered this problem.

The girl tilted her head and screamed, her head almost falling off her neck.

The fat man held the pot in his hand with trepidation, glancing at Gu Mian and then at the female ghost.

Gu Mian was looking at the girl who had suddenly stood up in front of her.

She screamed for a while, her entire scalp was moving, and it looked extremely terrifying.

Gu Mian had read many stories about girls with two-sided scalps before. In fact, he had always had a question: since both sides of this thing are scalps, it must not have a mouth.

Where did her voice come from?
Gu Mian used to think that since it was a ghost, it might have a special way of speaking.

But it seems that's not the case now.

The skinny girl screamed for a long time, then suddenly straightened her head, her voice still echoing: "Give me two braids!"

Gu Mian even heard the reduplicated sounds.

Her hair moved even more violently when she made a sound, as if her scalp was constantly moving.

The fat man looked at the constantly swaying hair and gripped the pot in his hand tightly. Why was she so obsessed with braiding her hair?
Five grown men mysteriously disappeared after entering. Could this be related to the braiding incident?
The girl stopped talking and craned her neck, seemingly waiting for Gu Mian to make her move.

As the fat man listened to the now-calm back of her head, he noticed that the girl's scalp would twitch violently when she spoke, but would become completely still when she wasn't talking.

Why is this happening? The fat man frowned in confusion.

He stared intently at the back of the girl's head, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

The girl with two distinct backs to her head can make sounds; her scalp moves when she speaks; the sounds she makes overlap; and she insists on having her hair styled in pigtails.

……

Thinking of this, the fat man suddenly opened his eyes wide.

She does have a mouth!
