Global Collapse

Chapter 189 The cool night sky makes my longing flow like a river.
She has a mouth!

The fat man suddenly realized something.

At that moment, he saw that Gu Mian had already reached out her hand and even touched the girl's hair.

"Wait for the doctor!" the fat man shouted hurriedly.

But it was too late. He watched helplessly as Gu Mian lifted a tuft of hair, grasped it in her hand, and then untied the hair tie.

it's over... it's over...

The fat man suddenly felt dizzy. He even picked up his pot, wondering if things would turn around if he hit her on the head.

But Gu Mian's movements were just too fast.

The fat man, holding the pot, hadn't even decided whether to start cooking when he saw him quickly braid the little girl's head into two pigtails.

This girl clearly killed at least five people, yet her hands were not stained with any blood.

Moreover, she seems incapable of using her hands; to this day, none of the three have seen this girl lay a hand on herself.

The fat man had been wondering how she killed someone until just now, when he finally understood.

The girl has mouths, and two mouths, one in front and one behind, so when she speaks, it sounds like there's an echo because the two voices overlap.

That's probably why the back of her head moves when she speaks.

The girl was so eager for help because if she tied her hair into pigtails, she could show her mouth.

Now that things have come to this, the murder weapon of this ghost is clear: it's the mouths on the back of her head.

The method of killing could be biting through a person's throat or biting off their head.

But the fat man no longer wanted to delve into how she killed the girl, because Gu Mian, who was right next to her, was in the greatest danger at that moment.

The fat man, holding the pot, took a deep breath and started jogging forward, trying to bump into Gu Mian, who was standing next to the girl.

But just as he took two steps forward, he suddenly realized that things didn't seem to be the way he expected.

The girl whose hair was tied into two crooked braids by Gu Mian did not suddenly open her mouth to kill anyone; in fact, the fat man did not see any mouth on her scalp.

The girl, who was less than 1.2 meters tall, stood quietly and even shook her head.

Things didn't turn out the way the fat man had imagined.

"Huh?" The fat man stopped in his tracks, puzzled.

Although he stopped, he quickly pulled Gu Mian aside, as if afraid that Gu Mian would suddenly be bitten to death.

He pulled Gu Mian along while speaking in a strange tone, "No mouth? Or am I wrong?"

How did this ghost kill people? And how did the five men who came in earlier disappear?
This girl could never be some kind of innocent ghost who doesn't kill; you can tell from her piercing screams.

Then Chu Changge's voice suddenly came from the side: "Take another look."

The fat man knew that these words were being spoken to him.

He took another closer look at the girl standing motionless in front of him, and that one look made him realize something was amiss.

If a normal person wears pigtails, a line of scalp will be visible in the middle.

The fat man guessed that the ghost's two mouths were likely standing upright on its scalp. While other people's scalps were exposed when they wore pigtails, hers were exposed with two upright mouths, one in front and one behind, which she then bit to death the person next to her.

But Gu Mian's double ponytails were rather unique...

The girl had two braids, one in front and one in back. If she had a face, then she would have one braid on her face and one braid on the back of her head.

It's twin tails...

At least from the side, it looks like twin tails.

The worst part was that both mouths on the back of her head were completely tied up with braids, so the fat man guessed she couldn't open her mouth.

Gu Mian withdrew her hand: "I told you I wouldn't braid my hair..."

As he spoke, he looked down at the girl with pigtails: "I've tied your braids up for you. How will you thank me?"

[There is only one small green house in this area, and inside lives a 'scary little girl.' After you help her tie her hair into pigtails, how will she thank you?] — Gu Mian still remembered the riddle's content. This little girl did indeed look terrifying, but Gu Mian still bravely helped her tie her hair into pigtails.

"Truly moving and inspiring," Gu Mian thought to herself.

Meanwhile, a group of students were still waiting outside.

The three of them had been inside for quite some time, and a wave of vengeful ghosts had even appeared among the people outside.

It's already 9:45.

The boy in the lead glanced nervously at his watch: "They went in around 9:30... It's been over fifteen minutes now, and we haven't heard a sound coming from inside. I'm afraid they're in grave danger..."

A girl nearby spoke up timidly, "Why don't we leave? It's hard to find a place to hide here. We were almost discovered by those ghosts just now."

The boy seemed to hesitate for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Wait five more minutes, just five more minutes and we'll leave."

Although he knew in his heart that these three people might not be able to get out, he still wanted to wait until the last minute.

The girl sighed: "Actually, you also think they can't come out anymore, right? Waiting here is just to make yourself feel better... If they leave when it's time, you won't feel so guilty."

The boy lowered his head slightly and didn't say anything.

Just then, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him, as if someone was rushing over.

In this large-scale event, encountering other players is not unusual; what is unusual is encountering players who are acting alone.

It's important to know that playing alone is extremely dangerous. Not only might you be suddenly attacked by a vengeful ghost, but you could also be robbed by other players, as you are outnumbered and vulnerable.

The others had obviously heard the faint footsteps and looked up.

Then they saw a strange person.

The little guy, wearing a green hat, looked quite comical.

"Is this a player?" Almost everyone had this thought, and they subconsciously looked at the player information.

But then these people were shocked to find that they couldn't open the player information of this green person.

“It’s very likely an NPC!” the leading boy exclaimed excitedly.

Anyone who has played games knows that NPCs represent quests.

They may release main quests or hidden quests.

Hidden quests usually offer very generous rewards.

This event obviously doesn't have any main quest; the appearance of NPCs usually indicates that a hidden quest has been triggered.

The boy immediately stepped forward and cautiously asked, "Are you... an NPC?"

Mr. Green strained to look up and scrutinize the person in front of him: "You've got a good eye."

The boy immediately showed a somewhat delighted expression.

As we all know, the NPCs in this global game are very human-like and may know the answers to some questions.

The boy's excitement wasn't because he might have triggered a hidden quest; he wanted to know how things were going inside the green room, if the NPC could answer.

Before he could even speak, the short, green-haired man preemptively asked, "Did a trio of doctors just go in?"

The boy was somewhat taken aback. Why would an NPC ask such a question?

Although he didn't know why he was asked that, he nodded vaguely: "Yes... a doctor, a big man, and a young man who looked like he was studying."

Suddenly, a look of anxiety appeared on the little green man's face: "How long have you been inside?"

"It's been about fifteen minutes," the boy replied blankly.

Just then, he saw the NPC who had heard him suddenly clench one fist and slam it hard into the palm of his other hand: "It's been so long? It's over, it's over!"

The boy didn't know why the NPC would ask such a question, but after hearing this, he suddenly realized.

Even the NPCs say the people inside are finished, so is it still necessary for us to wait here?
While he was still in a daze, he saw the green-clad figure walk straight past him, muttering things like "It's over" and "This is bad," as he jogged toward the green house.
