Global Collapse

Chapter 300 I'm Not Human Anymore

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian glanced at the bracelet on her wrist.

The dark gold bracelet is engraved with ancient and mysterious patterns, and it makes a dull sound when it is struck.

This is the rare and special item "Angel Halo" obtained in the Hide and Seek dungeon.

Since it carries the word "rare," it means it's not something you can easily obtain.

At least for Gu Mian, this was the first time she had ever seen a special item labeled "rare" in all the dungeons she had experienced.

[Angel Halo (Rare)]

[Description: This mysterious halo, originating from an unknown ancient time, is said to be a creation of a creator god. Although called a halo, it is actually a bracelet-like item. Do not wear it on your head!]

[Function: A special item unique to the doctor profession, capable of absorbing large amounts of medicine; within a certain range, the medicine within can directly affect the patient under the influence of the aura.]

Gu Mian didn't quite understand the function of this thing at first, until he cut a gash in the fat man with a knife and then discovered its use.

As long as the fat person is within two meters of me, the medicine in the bracelet can be applied directly to the fat person's wounds, just like a priest in a game.

"I'm a doctor, after all. It's really not right to cheat other players like this," Gu Mian said, stroking his chin. "But it's better for me to die than for my fellow Daoists to die. I'll try my best to keep my fellow Daoists from dying."

"Speaking of which..." Gu Mian asked while stroking her chin, "You guys heard the hide-and-seek instance too, right? The words that ghost said before it died."

The fat man corrected, "It was before it was destroyed."

To be honest, this is the most tragic ghost Fatty has ever seen since the start of the game. Although most of the other ghosts he has seen are also dead, they did not die unjustly, as they were all defeated and killed after fighting the doctor.

The ghost in the hide-and-seek game was different; it was directly destroyed by the instance itself. Even Dou E wouldn't dare say she was more wronged than it.

Thinking of this, the fat man actually felt sorry for the ghost, and a few tears even welled up in the corners of his eyes.

At this moment, Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "The destruction was because that ghost revealed a secret that could never be told. But it only uttered one word, yet it caused the instance to immediately self-destruct. The price was too high. This shows that the word it uttered before it died was enough to pose a threat to the instance and even the entire game world."

It even poses a threat to the entire game world...

The fat man kept repeating Chu Changge's last words in his mind: Is he really that powerful?
Gu Mian lowered her hand: "I remember the question I asked was, 'Where are you from?'"

The ghost's answer was simply the word "seven".

It wasn't that it didn't want to say more; it was just that the copy was immediately destroyed.

Gu Mian couldn't connect the number "seven" to any location, no matter how hard she tried.

The fat man asked curiously, "Are you referring to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?"

Gu Mian glanced at him: "With your IQ, you're only good at watching cartoons."

Fatty: "..."

The air conditioner was already on. The old air conditioner seemed very reluctant to work, emitting a buzzing noise, as if blaming Gu Mian for exploiting the elderly man's labor.

Amidst the noisy buzzing, Gu Mian turned to look at Chu Changge beside her: "Do you know any place names with the number seven in them?"

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses again: "The place names I know that contain numbers include Sanming, Sanmenxia, ​​Siping, Lu'an, Liupanshui, Jiujiang, Shiyan..."

The fat man was a little confused: "Are you the reincarnation of a map?"

Chu Changge continued, "I only remember two place names that start with the number seven: Qixingtai and Qitaihe."

Gu Mian suddenly felt a headache coming on. Although he asked the question, he did not believe that ghosts came from the real world.

If real-world ghosts were dragged into a dungeon to become NPCs, this game would be incredibly absurd; even the King of Hell would probably turn against the organizers…

While it's uncertain whether Yama, the King of Hell, even if he exists, might be destroyed by the holy light of socialist core values, Gu Mian was completely baffled. "But if the 'seven' that the ghost mentioned wasn't a place name, then what was it?"

Chu Changge's voice came from the side: "At least we learned a clue through the hide-and-seek instance, that is, some ghosts in the instance may know some things; of course, those weak minions are not included, and those who can access the clues are mostly very powerful and intelligent ghosts."

The fat man stood under the air conditioner, warming his hands: "That ghost in the hide-and-seek game is really amazing. It's the smartest and most awesome ghost I've seen since the game started."

The ability to sense player location and teleport is enough to instantly defeat many players.

As the fat man spoke, he glanced at Little Red, who was standing straight beside him.

Xiao Hong remained silent.

The fat man looked away, thinking to himself that Xiao Hong was obviously a small fry, and even if he tortured her, he wouldn't get anything out of her.

Gu Mian was still talking to Chu Changge: "So in the future dungeons, my task is to catch powerful ghosts, beat them up, and ask them for clues?"

Chu Changge paused for a moment, seemingly agreeing with his point of view: "It's best not to be seen by other players."

It's true that other players can't see it, otherwise they might be so scared they'd bite their tongues and commit suicide.

The fat man had already imagined the scene in the next dungeon where his teammates would bite their tongues and commit suicide together, while the healer with an aura stopped their bleeding.

Chu Changge then continued, "Also..."

At this moment, the fat man also leaned closer, listening intently to the rest of Chu Changge's story.

"I think fighting NPCs is more effective than fighting ghosts, especially NPCs like Mr. Green who are similar to those in variety show dungeons."

Gu Mian silently made a note of it and decided that next time she saw Mr. Green, she would beat him up first.

Gu Mian still didn't understand the specific meaning of the character "seven".

However, now that we've made a start, we can follow the clues and explore other instances as well.

Everything from the hearse had been moved in, and Gu Mian decided to stay in the house for a while until the temperature warmed up before continuing her journey.

Chu Changge also set the goals for their future.

The goal is to find premium ticket booths, as it's said that the chances of matching with premium dungeons are slightly higher in premium ticket booths.

The probability of finding the clues Gu Mian wants in higher-level dungeons is also slightly higher. Hopefully, she can find a high-level ticket booth and then take advantage of it every day.

A few days ago, heavy snow covered almost the entire city.

A few days after Gu Mian and the others settled down, the sun finally peeked out after a long absence.

Once the sun peeked out, it wouldn't leave, its bright rays bathing the entire city, and finally, there was a hint of spring in the air.

The temperature actually started to rise as the sun came out, as if someone had suddenly piled up a bunch of firewood on the ground; in the past few days, Fatty has watched the temperature on the thermometer rise rapidly, and the snow on the road has started to melt.

The severe cold has passed, but the situation is not optimistic.

As the snow melted, Gu Mian discovered that there were some things underneath, and those things were revealed.

Creepy.

Look, everyone! Auntie's post went up to 300! I'm so awesome!
