Global Collapse

Chapter 227 School Ghost Stories: The Disappearance Game

"If you know you're going to be shameless, then don't..."

However, before Gu Mian could finish speaking, the person strode to the car, opened the door, and got in.

The fat man glanced silently at Liu Ruyan, who had just boarded the bus, and then at Gu Mian, who had fallen silent.

The fat man remembered that this woman was Gu Mian's landlord in Lianhua City. He didn't expect her to come here to participate in the event.

She was dressed warmly, wrapped up tightly in a long black sweater dress, her long hair falling down her back, and a smile on her face...

"What a coincidence, Dr. Gu," Liu Ruyan looked up at Gu Mian sitting in the driver's seat and touched her chin. "We're actually staying at the same hotel."

Gu Mian glanced at him: "Didn't we always stay at the same hotel before?"

"Hmm," Liu Ruyan's smile deepened, "That's right, so giving me a ride isn't a big deal, is it?"

Gu Mian laughed too: "Of course it's nothing, but considering your behavior of sneaking into my room twenty-nine times and then turning on the gas, I think it's better to just kick you out of the house now..."

However, Gu Mian ultimately did not kick Liu Ruyan down.

Just as he was about to extend his leg, Chu Changge stopped him: "I have something to ask her."

Gu Mian withdrew her foot: "Okay, go ahead and ask."

However, he didn't remember any connection between Chu Changge and Liu Ruyan; they had only met a few times.

The light was still dim, and even though it was daytime, you had to turn on your headlights to see anything. Since there were no other cars on the road, Gu Mian naturally turned on the high beams.

The fat man sitting right behind the driver's seat said, "Wow, driving a hearse with high beams on, awesome!"

To prevent Liu Ruyan from suddenly rushing over and stabbing him while he was driving, Gu Mian deliberately placed Fatty behind the driver's seat so he could be used as a shield. Fatty deeply resented this arrangement.

Chu Changge was talking to Liu Ruyan in the back of the car, speaking very quietly, so much so that Gu Mian and the fat man in the front could barely hear them.

However, they seem to have known each other for a long time.

Gu Mian glanced at the two people behind her through the rearview mirror: "That's really strange."

How did these two people meet?
Chu Changge remained expressionless, while Liu Ruyan's demeanor was very casual. She would occasionally raise an eyebrow as she spoke, as if she had heard a joke.

But Chu Changge doesn't tell jokes, a fact that Gu Mian and Fatty are well aware of.

The two didn't talk for long; after only a few minutes, Chu Changge stopped talking and quietly sat down to the side.

Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, propped her head up with one arm and leaned against the car window, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment, Gu Mian finally had a chance to speak: "We're going to the supermarket, are you coming too?"

Liu Ruyan looked up at him and smiled, "Yes, I'll go wherever you go."

Horror!
At this moment, the fat man suddenly spoke with a somewhat doubtful tone: "Speaking of which... Miss Liu, may I call you Miss Liu?"

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "Of course, you can call me whatever you want."

Although the woman's smile was beautiful, the fat man felt a chill run down his spine for no reason. He paused for a moment, then continued, "Didn't you see that thing on the roof when you got in the car?"

Xiao Hong was still lying obediently on the roof of the car, her beautiful hair hanging down on the car window next to Gu Mian. Anyone who wasn't blind could see the red thing on the roof.

But Liu Ruyan ignored it completely, not even glancing at it, and got into the car directly.

"The roof?" Liu Ruyan asked.

The fat man nodded: "Yes, on the roof of the car."

Seeing Liu Ruyan's reaction, the fat man couldn't help but become suspicious. Could it be that no one else besides them could see this female ghost? If he had known this, he wouldn't have gone to all that trouble to dress her up.

But the fat man's suspicions were immediately denied.

Liu Ruyan glanced at the car window next to Gu Mian: "Oh, I've seen her before, so I'm not too surprised." What the heck?
The fat man's eyes widened slightly. Had they met before?
"Hmm," Liu Ruyan nodded, propping her head up with her hand, "It was the night the event ended. It seems she climbed onto the wrong window and stuck to my room's window."

Fatty: "..."

Then she seemed to recall: "I remember seeing her pressed against my window and staring at me that night, but after a few seconds, she shouted something like 'Wrong way, wrong way, wrong way' and then she accidentally fell down. I peeked out and saw that she had fallen pretty hard."

Gu Mian: "..."

Is it so miserable?
However, Liu Ruyan was also quite bold; she didn't react at all when she saw the female ghost clinging to her window, but she even peeked out to check after the ghost fell down...

Gu Mian didn't want to get along with this reckless woman who had secretly turned on her own gas valve twenty-nine times.

As he turned the steering wheel, he said, "Once we get to the supermarket, we'll go our separate ways."

The fat man asked in confusion, "Doctor, you don't seem to have a mother?"

"Shut up!"

Liu Ruyan smiled, propping her head up with her hand, but didn't say anything.

Chu Changge, standing beside him, seemed to be deep in thought, a strange expression appearing on his face—something rarely seen before.

Gu Mian really wanted to ask what the two of them had been talking about in secret, but before she could put that idea into action, the supermarket was already right in front of her.

"We're almost there," he said, turning the steering wheel. "I'll stop here..."

But before Gu Mian could finish speaking, a strange, semi-transparent panel suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Mian instinctively stepped on the brakes.

Immediately afterwards, the fat man also found a board in front of him. They had seen this board before; it was the panel for triggering special dungeons!

"Damn it!" Gu Mian exclaimed, "I just came out of the dungeon yesterday! My mundane daily life hasn't even had a chance to begin yet, you bastard!"

In the chaos, the fat man heard Chu Changge next to him shout, "Put the car away first."

The fat man immediately understood and, just before entering the special instance, he waved his hand sharply and put the hearse into his inventory.

Then all I heard was a "thud".

A dazed female ghost fell from a height of more than one person and crashed heavily to the ground.

She then got up, turned her neck, and looked around blankly, but there was no one around anymore; everyone in the car had entered a special instance.

The cold wind was still howling.

She stood there motionless, seemingly waiting for someone, but also unsure if they would return.

Meanwhile, Gu Mian and her friends had already started matching teammates.

[Triggering the special instance 'High School Ghost Stories: The Hidden Game']

The fat man's voice came through: "Just by looking at the name, you can tell this dungeon is something else!"

[Dungeon Introduction: This dungeon is part of the 'High School Ghost Stories' dungeon series. Special items obtained in this series can be used in combination.]

[Number of players: 6 to 10]

[Insufficient players detected. Teammates will be randomly added. Loading...]

[Successfully matched with teammates, current number of players is 8]

Gugu is so useless. Gugu doesn't want to say anything today. Just use your imagination.
