Global Collapse

Chapter 190 I'm Incredibly Diligent [Third Update]

The boy watched helplessly as the NPC hurriedly ran towards the green house.

Although the boy originally intended to ask the NPC about the things inside the green house, he did not expect that this green-haired person would be so proactive.

He quickly ran to the door of the green room, then reached out and gave it a hard push.

Not pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, the boy heard the green-clad person's voice grow louder.

"It's over, it's over..."

The boy hesitated for a moment before wanting to come over and take a look, but just after he took a few steps, everyone suddenly heard a loud scream erupt from the green room.

It was a piercing scream, the voice sounding somewhat childish, like a child's voice.

"Ah!" The boy shuddered violently, instinctively cried out, and then took several steps back.

He stared tremblingly at the room before him: "What happened? There was no sound before..."

The scream was like a sharp awl, piercing deep into everyone's ears, causing a dull ache in their heads as well.

Even Mr. Green frowned at the loud voice, and the tension on his face became even more pronounced.

"All those who went in before were men, no women." The boy not far away covered his ears tightly, looking at the house in front of him in shock: "Could it be the sound made by the ghost inside?"

Just then, the sounds coming from inside the room abruptly stopped, and an eerie silence fell over the place.

Not long after, there was a somewhat jarring sound of the door being pushed open.

Perhaps because they were still a little dazed from the scream, people now feel a tickle in their ears when they hear the sound of a door being opened.

They all stared wide-eyed at the door that had been pushed open, Mr. Green's eyes widening especially.

"Is someone coming out?" The boy in the lead stared intently at the gate.

The door was pushed open a crack by a somewhat thin hand, and then an arm was seen inside.

The people inside seemed to be walking out, and soon everyone saw the face of the person who pushed open the door.

It was a face that looked somewhat frail, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

The boy recognized him; he was the frail-looking young man who had gone in with the doctor.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Chu Changge pushed the door open completely, then slowly walked out, and finally patted his sleeves as if he were dusting off some kind of dust.

Mr. Green approached eagerly, about to ask something, but then there was movement from inside the door.

With a leap, a rather thick leg appeared, and looking up, one could see a waist much thicker than the leg, an equally thick neck, and a face with a look of panic.

"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Green asked, looking at the fat man's pale face.

What did he see that scared him like this?
"N-nothing..." The fat man felt as if his feet were on cotton, and he was about to fall over at any moment.

Chu Changge glanced at him and reached out to support the fat man.

Then, everyone saw a third person walk out of the door.

Without a doubt, it was that kind and approachable doctor in a white coat, carrying a guitar.

He walked briskly, almost whistling, and seemed to be holding something in his hand.

Mr. Green calmed himself down and looked closely. He saw that the guy was holding different things in his two hands.

He held a fruit knife in his right hand that looked rusty; judging by its broken appearance, it probably couldn't be used to peel fruit anymore.

And on his left hand...

"Hair!" Mr. Green stared in shock at the object in Gu Mian's left hand.

She has a long, beautiful head of hair, and so much of it that it could make two wigs!
The break is a bit jagged, as if it was forcibly cut off.

Mr. Green steadied his hat, which was about to fall off: "What have you done!"

He also remembered a little girl in the green house who always wanted someone to braid her hair.

But now it seems that this little girl may never be able to wear her beloved pigtails again.

"Well... it's nothing," the fat man stammered, rubbing his hands. "It's just... I gave someone a haircut, the kind where you force them..." Mr. Green's hat jumped off his head. He stopped chatting with Gu Mian and the others and quickly rushed into the house, looking like he was in a hurry to visit a colleague who was injured and hospitalized.

The boy who was waiting for them not far away also approached hesitantly. To be honest, he suddenly didn't want to get close to the three of them anymore.

Chu Changge looked at the boy who had approached him. He glanced at the boy's player information; the nickname was fairly normal, "Leader of the Five Mountains Alliance."

The leader of the Five Mountains Alliance spoke hesitantly, "You've come out."

He seemed to want to ask something, but then swallowed the words back down.

Chu Changge saw through his thoughts and replied directly, "You don't need to wait."

"No need to wait any longer..." The leader of the Five Mountains Alliance repeated, then lowered his head slightly: "They're all gone?"

Chu Changge nodded without changing his expression: "There aren't any left."

The fat man looked somewhat strange, but ultimately said nothing more.

This group of people had been planning to leave for a while, and now that they had received this news, they naturally wouldn't stay here any longer.

But just as the group was about to leave, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance inquired about the situation inside: "The ghosts inside must be very powerful, right?"

He had no intention of going in; he just wanted to know what kind of ghost had killed his five classmates.

The fat man, standing behind Gu Mian, nodded in full agreement: "Absolutely amazing!"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance wore a strange expression: "Then that shout just now was..."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Gu Mian. He had been wanting to see the doctor's player information, but the doctor had always kept his distance. So far, he had only seen the information of a player named "Chu Changge," and he had only just seen it.

That said, this name does sound familiar.

Before he could think further, the fat man replied, "It's probably because we braided her hair that she made that joyful sound... Her hair is also a gift she gave us in gratitude."

The fat man's voice sounded a little weak when he said this.

Of course, he was even more uneasy, as everyone inside knew why that thing was called that.

The leader of the Five Mountains Alliance clearly didn't believe such nonsense; he was looking suspiciously at the large handful of hair in Gu Mian's hand.

Then he seemed to want to ask something about Mr. Green: "That green man, him and you..."

But then a girl suddenly ran over and interrupted him: "Wuyue, we have to hurry, the next ghost tide is coming soon."

The leader of the Five Mountains Alliance quickly glanced at the time, then left hastily with his men without even asking any questions.

Time is indeed running out; there are less than two minutes until the next wave.

Watching them leave, the fat man asked Gu Mian beside him, "Doctor, should we find somewhere to hide for a bit?"

Gu Mian saw the female ghost waiting for them from afar, with two lanterns hanging inside a house.

She waited there dutifully, only peeking out after everyone had left.

"Let's go over there first." Gu Mian grabbed the hair in her hand and walked over there.

Almost at the same time that Gu Mian and the others entered the house and closed the door, Mr. Green's loud voice could be heard coming from the green house not far away.

But Gu Mian didn't care about any of that.

He walked over to the female ghost, picked up the lantern with the braided hair, and casually threw the other lantern out the window.

Ghosts will crawl out of the lantern in those five minutes, and Gu Mian doesn't want to get face-to-face with them.

How will the little girl thank you after you've tied her hair into pigtails?

Gu Mian looked at the last sentence on the lantern, exhaled, and then slowly said, "She will try to open her mouth and bite off your handsome head."

Of course, it was just an attempt.

Gu Mian's head was still resting properly on her neck, proving that the girl's attempt had not succeeded.

However, she herself was missing something.

The fat man shuddered as he looked at the lantern. He still remembered what Gu Mian had said in the green room after the girl failed to open her mouth: "I'll hold her down, you guys quickly wring her hair!"
