Global Collapse

Chapter 230 Gu Mian's Student Days

Ziliang scratched his head: "Didn't you have to choose your game outfit before entering the dungeon for the first time...? I remember there were things like 'school swimsuit' and 'mosaic'..."

It seems he really liked the school swimsuit and the mosaic, but in the end he didn't have the courage to choose it.

"Of course I chose my own attire, but I didn't expect the handcuffs to come into the game too. Every time I remove them in a dungeon, my clothes reset the next time I enter. It's like if you lost a hand or arm in one dungeon, you're still a healthy person in the next one... You can't remove them in the real world either, sigh, so I always bring these with me when I enter a dungeon..."

"But don't get me wrong!" The student-looking man waved his hands repeatedly after saying that, "I wasn't handcuffed because I was going to do that kind of thing..."

He was handcuffed by the anti-prostitution squad and still claimed he wasn't there to do *that* kind of thing?
What kind of thing are they going to do?
“To be honest,” Zi Liang suddenly lowered his voice, “I’m a supernatural writer, but I often lack inspiration, so I have to go out and gather material.”

Gu Mian raised an eyebrow: "That's not a reason for you to go to a massage parlor."

“No, no,” Ziliang shook his head vigorously: “I heard that there are three types of people who come into contact with the most people and things, and it is easiest to get stories from them. One type is doctors, another type is lawyers, and the other type is them… So I wanted to find some stories.”

Gu Mian said knowingly, "So even though you were caught by the anti-prostitution squad, you're innocent, right?"

Ziliang nodded in complete agreement.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore." Gu Mian put the chainsaw back into her guitar bag, then glanced at the mirror above the sink: "Go back to class first."

Gu Mian in the mirror looked the same as before, but a few years younger, as if she had returned to her high school days.

This is probably a disguise technique used in the game; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for a full-time intern to impersonate a high school sophomore.

At this moment, the two little figures on the game screen underwent a new change, and they started talking again.

[Gu Gu: Class is about to start, let's go back to the classroom, we'll die if we stay here any longer!]

[Ryo: Yes! I want to leave here!]

Gu Mian frowned: "Will you die?"

What nonsense is this?
Then Gu Mian discovered that the little person named Liang'er had started moving on his own, but Zi Liang in front of her did not move.

Ziliang was clearly surprised as well. He quickly pulled out his phone from his uniform pocket and saw that the avatar he had registered had already run out of the restroom at lightning speed.

"Ah—" Ziliang cried out, "Will I die if I stay here? No... this little guy can move around on his own?"

He started walking while looking at his phone: "Doctor, I have to go now. You saw what the game says. If we stay here any longer, our characters will die. Doctor, you should leave too."

They all knew that the name of this instance was "The Hidden Game".

This "disappearance game" is clearly the one downloaded on the two people's phones. If the registered character dies, the person who registered that character will likely also die.

Gu Mian nodded to him: "You go first. By the way, do you know what grade and class you are in?"

Knowing the class will make it easier to find the class later.

Ziliang paused for a moment, as if recalling something, before speaking: "I didn't see it, but I remember our class was on the far right of this corridor."

Gu Mian nodded: "Okay, you can go first."

Ziliang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you leaving?"

If you stay here, your character might die.

Gu Mian shook her head: "I'll wait a little longer."

Ok……

The doctor seemed mysterious and unpredictable; he could even pull out a chainsaw from his guitar case. Ziliang didn't press him further but instead chased after the little character in his game.

Watching Ziliang run out, Gu Mian looked down and fiddled with her phone. Although the game was always in top-down view, it could still be tilted slightly.

He tilted his finger at an angle, trying to observe his little figure from all sides. But at that moment, the little figure changed again.

[Gu Gu: This is too dangerous! I have to leave!]

After Gu Mian finished speaking, her character actually ran out on his own. The surrounding scene moved according to the character's movement. After the little character ran out, the game screen switched to the corridor.

Gu Mian looked down at her phone and saw the little figure running towards the classroom.

Where is the danger? Gu Mian asked, somewhat puzzled.

He looked up at the toilet again, but there wasn't a soul in sight.

Just then, Gu Mian saw another little figure appear on her phone screen.

Another tiny figure popped its head out from one end of the phone screen and slowly walked towards the toilet.

This little figure is wearing the same school uniform, has the same short hair, is a male character, and has the name "Fatty Wang" above his head.

You can tell who it is just by looking at the name.

Gu Mian stepped out of the restroom and, sure enough, saw the fat man peeking out of the hallway. He looked much younger, like a high school student—but was still as fat as ever.

The fat man spotted Gu Mian immediately and excitedly jogged over.

Gu Mian saw that the little figure corresponding to the fat man in the game also ran over.

"Doctor, you look so young!" The fat man panted, seemingly realizing he was rambling, and then changed the subject: "I heard someone running wildly in the corridor upstairs from the second floor, so I came up to check, and I didn't expect to find you here."

The one who was running wildly just now must have been Ziliang.

But if the fat guy is on the second floor, then this is the third floor?
Gu Mian asked, "Have you seen any other players?"

The fat man shook his head: "No, I saw this phone on the table as soon as I came in. There was a little figure asking me to name it, so I just picked one randomly... Speaking of which, is this 'Doctor' game the one mentioned in the dungeon, the 'Disappearance Game'?"

Gu Mian nodded: "Although it doesn't look scary at all now, I think it will turn into a horror game sooner or later."

He noticed that the little character he had registered had returned to his side and was talking to [Fatty Wang].

[Gu Gu: What brings you here?]

[Fatty Wang: I'm here to find someone.]

[Gu Gu: You've found it now, right?]

[Wang Pangzi: Found it.]

The dialogue between these two characters is completely different from the dialogue between him and the fat man.

Gu Mian touched her chin. Could it be that this dungeon requires you to analyze something based on the dialogue between these little characters?

The missing senior students?

A terrifying toilet?

Who is the fat man's little figure looking for?
The more I think about it, the stranger it gets.

At this moment, the fat boy suddenly said to Gu Mian, "Doctor, I just heard other classmates talking about this game. They said... all the students who downloaded this game before seem to have disappeared..."

Ah! There's a lone cuckoo spirit here, why don't we... give him all our tickets!

Thank you so much for all the generous donations! φ(≧ω≦*)
