Chapter 196 Hints at a Voting [Fifth Update]

“Without a doubt,” Gu Mian said, raising her head slightly and tossing the number three key in her hand to Gui Gu. “See the green lettering above my head? It says ‘Doctor’.”

Guigu was about to say something when Gu Mian glanced around and interrupted him, "Where's the other one?"

Guigu knew who Gu Mian was asking about, and he stammered, "The lieutenant is ahead, in that direction..."

He pointed in a direction as he spoke.

Gu Mian looked in the direction he pointed and realized that it should be the location of the active heart.

At this moment, Guigu, who was sitting on the ground, stood up while leaning against the wall, staring blankly at Gu Mian: "How did you do that?"

"What?" Gu Mian asked back.

"Kill it," Guigu glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, then continued, "And you were clearly in the building next door just now, did you just walk over here?"

"Otherwise, would I be able to fly here?" Gu Mian wondered.

"Alright, let's not talk about this nonsense anymore," Gu Mian glanced at the two of them, "What are you two hiding here for? And it seems like you've been hiding for a long time."

"I think the question I asked was quite useful!" Guigu shouted in his heart.

But he didn't show his true feelings at all. Instead, he answered Gu Mian's question first: "I was unfortunately injured. The lieutenant saw someone sneaking around that way, so he left us here and followed them."

Gu Mian glanced at Gui Gu's arm, which was wrapped in bandages.

"You lieutenant's got some nerve, daring to leave two sick patients here and run away," he said.

Guigu explained, "I'm fine. I stayed behind to take care of Rose Night, and the lieutenant even left the door bolt with us."

As he spoke, he seemed to be trying to produce some proof, but then he remembered that the bolt had been used up.

"And that group of people is too suspicious. It seems like they're the same group that chased you before, and they seem to be plotting something." Guigu continued to argue after emptying his hands.

At this moment, Chu Changge and the fat man also arrived at the building. Five minutes had passed, and now they could finally come out and move around.

Only Gu Mian was able to break through just now. Although he can attack ghosts, if a group of ghosts discovers him, they could overwhelm him and kill him.

"Huh?" The fat man was the first to spot Rose Night sitting on the ground: "Little brother, you're here too."

Rose Night managed a weak smile; her face, pale from the shock, hadn't yet recovered.

"You've used up all your bolts, are you still planning to stay here and hide?" Gu Mian asked.

Guigu looked somewhat troubled: "I want to go find the lieutenant; it must be dangerous for him to act alone..."

It just so happens that Hanshan's location is in the direction of the heart of this activity, and after a brief discussion, the group decided to travel together.

Guigu carried Rose Night on his back. Although his arm was injured, it didn't seem to be too serious.

When Gu Mian went downstairs, she noticed that Mr. Green had somehow caught up with them again from a distance and had already retrieved the lantern they had thrown in the middle.

Seemingly noticing the two extra people, Mr. Green led the female ghost to hide at a distance and did not approach.

"I always feel like he's so busy..." the fat man whispered. Gu Mian knew the fat man was referring to Mr. Green.

He slipped away for a while when he was braiding the little girl's hair last time, and he did the same thing this time. I really don't know what he's doing.

Along the way, Guigu seemed to want to ask something, but he didn't bring himself to ask.

The strings hanging lanterns overhead were becoming increasingly dense, and Gu Mian would occasionally look up to glance at them; they were getting closer and closer to their hearts.

The fat man would also glance at the time every now and then.

It's 10:49 now, and this event will end in a little over an hour. I hope nothing unexpected happens in the next hour.

It seems that because the lanterns are more densely packed in this area, there are relatively more players.

Gu Mian often saw one or two players' figures flash by in the distance, but then they would disappear into the night.

"Have you found your lieutenant yet?" Gu Mian asked Gui Gu, who was standing next to her.

Guigu shook his head blankly. He looked around carefully but did not see any familiar figures.

Chu Changge looked up at the front and then said in a low voice, "The most densely populated area is just ahead."

Gu Mian saw it too.

A tall tower stands in the most densely packed area of ​​the building, appearing to be about ten meters high at first glance, making it a truly tall building among antique-style buildings.

The fat man looked at the tall tower in front of him and thought of the green room where the little girl had been: "This is just like that green room, they're both things that came about from the event, right?"

Upon closer reflection, it seems that this tower is probably the heart of the entire event.

Because next to the tall building is just a huge open space besides the lanterns, there is nothing else that can serve as a heart.

"Let's go," Gu Mian said, taking a step forward. "Go look at the lanterns over there. The rewards for solving the riddles over there must be substantial."

Just as Gu Mian and her companions reached the tower, a roar suddenly came from afar—a human cry.

Because Gu Mian clearly heard a few words.

It's a word that sounds like you want to catch them.

"That guy in the military uniform is over there! And the doctor is next to him too, quick, grab them!"

Upon hearing the sound, Guigu was startled and instinctively tried to look in the direction from which it came.

But before he could fully turn his head, the fat man next to him grabbed him and dragged him away, shouting, "Stop looking! Let's run!"

After spending a lot of time with Gu Mian, the fat man's stress response did indeed improve significantly.

Look at the title!
