Global Collapse

Chapter 194 The Unlucky Guiguzi [Third Update]

The moment the rustling sound came from outside, Gu Mian saw the person opposite her darken.

He seemed to struggle for a moment, then quickly reached out and threw something at us.

The fat man shrank back slightly: "Hidden weapon?"

This thing is small; if it accidentally hits your face, it would probably hurt quite a bit.

Fortunately, Gu Mian reacted quickly and dodged to the side. The object thrown from the opposite side went through the window, hit the wall behind Gu Mian, and finally fell to the ground with a "clink," making a loud noise.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Mian saw that Gui Gu across the way had a "good luck" expression on his face, and then reached out and closed the window on that side, leaving only a small crack.

These are dangerous five minutes; only someone with a brain fart would leave the window wide open to admire the view.

At this moment, Chu Changge had already picked up the things that were thrown at him from the other side.

Gu Mian also curiously came over to take a look.

This is actually a special item.

Key Number Three from a Mysterious World

[Description: A key with mysterious powers, seemingly from another world, bearing the number "3". Of course, it will not transform into a magic wand.]

[How to use: Twist it towards the air like opening a door]

【Function: Using this key will randomly generate an Anywhere Door. The Anywhere Door will remain for ten seconds. Passing through the Anywhere Door will transport you to a nearby location. The location is random, and the range of 'nearby' is unpredictable.】

[Note: This item has a seven-day cooldown period and can be used once every seven days.]

The fat man paused for a moment: "Is this thing for us to use to escape?"

“That’s right,” Chu Changge said, holding the key in his hand. “This is a special item that can be moved, and it’s not disposable, so it must be very valuable.”

If you encounter a ghost in a dungeon, using this key will greatly increase your chances of escaping.

The same principle applies to events.

The fat man was dumbfounded: "This is for us?"

Gu Mian shrugged: "He probably thought we were doomed hiding here, so he sent us to escape with this thing. It seems like he's been hiding here for a long time."

As Gu Mian spoke, she glanced at the window of the building next door.

Guigu had just closed the window, leaving only a small crack. Gu Mian wasn't sure if he was still observing them through that crack.

The fat man also looked over there: "This guy is actually quite humane. Isn't he afraid we'll take his precious key and run away?"

Gu Mian replied, "It's probably because I don't look like a bad person."

Fatty: "..."

At this moment, Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "Judging from what he said, it seems that these ghosts that came out of the lanterns were checking the room quite thoroughly."

The fat man blinked. Thanks to Mr. Green and the female ghost, they hadn't encountered any ghosts that seriously searched the room.

This time, however, they were doing something behind us and fell far behind, so they probably won't be able to get here anytime soon.

The thought of the two of them not being there made the fat man's mind go blank for a moment, and then he suddenly asked, "Doctor... do you think we'll run into some ghosts doing a big clean-up in the next five minutes?"

Gu Mian looked up: "I think there's a 80% chance we'll run into each other."

Meanwhile, Guigu, who was on the second floor next door, was observing Gu Mian's situation through a crack in the window. However, Gu Mian's window had been closed earlier, so he could hardly see anything.

There was a boy sitting next to him.

If the fat man were there, he would recognize this boy as the 'Rose Night' he had carried all the way before.

Rose Night's bleeding had long since stopped, but she was still very weak.

"Brother Guigu..." the boy said, his face pale, "Is the doctor who saved me next door?"

Guigu nodded with a heavy heart: "They went straight up to the building next door. There's no door latch there, and I'm afraid a ghost might go in."

"But I gave them the key I just got. If they use it, I don't know where they'll be teleported to. In short, good luck to them," Guigu sighed. "If only the lieutenant were here."

He sighed and glanced towards the front door, which was now secured with a sturdy bolt.

As long as this bolt is placed on the door, the door cannot be broken open no matter what, but there is a time limit; it can only be used for thirty minutes in total.

This was a special item belonging to Hanshan, but Hanshan wasn't in the room at the moment. "It's not very safe here either..." Guigu took a deep breath and whispered, "This door latch has four and a half minutes left, but the ghosts outside will be wandering around for five minutes... Hopefully, nothing will go wrong in the last half minute."

Rose Night hesitated before speaking: "If characters in TV dramas or novels say something like that, then something unexpected usually happens in the last half minute."

"We're not filming a TV show," Guigu lowered his voice. "Alright, let's just wait patiently. Hopefully, nothing unexpected will happen to them."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked out through the crack in the window. He immediately saw the street not far below and the terrifying creatures on it.

One of the most eye-catching things was a white lantern that had been left lying in the middle of the road.

The location of the lantern can be seen perfectly from Guiguzi's perspective.

"Strange," he said, puzzled. "Did this lantern fall down?"

Guigu didn't see the fat man throw the lantern; he just found it incredible that a lantern had fallen to the ground.

Then, he noticed that the white lantern that had been thrown in the middle of the road had changed. It seemed to twist slightly, and then a pale hand suddenly emerged from the round hole at the top of the lantern.

Guigu's heart skipped a beat.

He subconsciously tilted his head to the side, as if afraid of being seen by something emerging from the lantern.

A few seconds later, he glanced back at the lantern.

There, a twisted humanoid figure appeared, crawling on the ground like a spider stuck in its shell, its joints moving with a very discordant, jerky motion.

Immediately afterwards, he saw the thing wriggle its limbs and then quickly crawl in one direction.

The twisted humanoid figure crawled rapidly across the ground, a terrifying sight that made Guigu's heart pound with fear.

He immediately realized that the direction the human figure was crawling was none other than the house where the three doctors were!

"It's all over," Guigu thought to himself.

He stared anxiously at the house across the street, as if trying to convey his thoughts to the people inside, but to no avail.

Guigu could only watch helplessly as the twisted humanoid figure reached the second floor next door, climbed in through the window, and then fell silent.

Oh no, it's inside.

Guigu gripped the windowsill tightly, his mind racing with thoughts.

'I gave them the keys, they should be able to escape...'

He was a little anxious, but dared not make a loud noise, for fear of attracting other ghosts to his place.

'It's been inside for a while now, hasn't it? Is that ghost starting to climb the stairs now?'

Did they hear anything?

'Why is there no sound at all? Could it be dead?'

Just as he was lost in his fantasies, a loud, booming "Holy crap!" suddenly came from the building across the street.

The voice was somewhat rough, and Guigu immediately recognized it as the fat man's voice.

Upon hearing the sound, Guigu stared intently at the opposite side: 'They've met?'

Immediately afterwards, he heard a sound like a motorcycle coming from the building across the street, and then there was no more noise.

There was no sound of fighting, no footsteps, and the ghost didn't reappear; there was only boundless silence.

What's going on? Guigu was pounding with anxiety.

Could she really be dead? She's the only healer in the entire server; her death would be a huge loss!

He stared longingly, almost wishing he could stretch his hand several meters to open the window across the street and see if they were dead or alive.

But his wish to extend his arm by more than ten meters was cruelly interrupted before it could be fulfilled.

Guigu heard a rustling sound coming from outside his room.

It looked as if something was pressed against the door, listening to what was happening inside.
