Global Collapse

Chapter 309 Gugu's Fury

"Alright," before anyone else could speak, Teacher Sweet released her hand from her forehead and looked at the clock on the wall. "It's 8:30 PM now. Everyone's tired, you can go back to your rooms and rest."

"Our variety show is very humane; the cameramen won't follow the guests into their rooms while they're resting..."

Hearing this, Yuwen Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief. He didn't want to wake up to find a pale face holding a camera and filming him.

"And each guest's chosen partner will return to their own separate room; they won't be sleeping in the same room anymore."

Gu Mian noticed that when Teacher Sweetie said this, the fortune teller's expression, which had been somewhat tense, relaxed slightly.

She was just startled by number 4; I wonder if she's still reeling from it.

"but--"

As soon as those two words were uttered, Gu Mian knew it was bound to be bad news.

really.

"However, there are surveillance cameras in each guest's room, so I can observe you all at any time through the live stream."

As soon as she finished speaking, Dong'er, who was sitting on the single sofa, turned pale, as if she was very scared.

The fortune teller and Yuwen Hao next to them didn't look much better either; both of them looked uncomfortable, but they didn't say anything.

Teacher Sweet continued, "I saw clearly how everyone behaved when they first entered this instance, and I must mention that you all have excellent mental fortitude..."

Just as she was talking to herself, Dong'er, whose face was still a little pale, suddenly spoke up: "Excuse me, Teacher Sweetie..."

As expected, Teacher Sweetie's words were interrupted. She seemed to have anticipated this and smiled as she looked at Dong'er beside her: "Is there a problem?"

Dong'er paused for a moment and then spoke softly, "I suddenly thought of a question. Since in this variety show, the guest wins by choosing the real player, can we choose other guests' potential opponents? Or, to be even bolder... can we just choose other guests directly?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen's kindness warmed up.

He had considered choosing other guests' potential partners, but his intuition told him that this method was not feasible because everyone's potential partners were named with numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. If he wanted to fill in someone else's potential partner, he couldn't just fill in something like "Gu Mian's No. 1", could he?
Moreover, he dared not gamble; filling out the card for his crush was a one-time thing, and he dared not do anything rash.

However, Dong'er's second assumption... is to directly select other guests and fill in their names...

"No."

Unexpectedly, Teacher Sweetie directly refuted Dong'er's theory.

"I remember when you were in the room at the beginning, I said that you could only choose your own crush, so you couldn't choose other guests or other people's crushes."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hao's initial enthusiasm cooled down.

That's a good suggestion, but it won't work. But then again, if I had thought of this myself, I would have kept it to myself and tried it out first. But Dong'er actually said it in front of the other guests. Is she not very bright? Or is she just too naive?

As Yuwen Hao pondered, he glanced at Dong'er, who had raised a question beside him. She noticed that Dong'er had lowered her head, seemingly deep in thought.

Just as she was thinking, Yuwen Hao's peripheral vision fell on the person behind her.

Unlike Gu Mian's three women and one man, Dong'er's potential partners are all men, so there is no gender issue at all.

But at that moment, Yuwen Hao suddenly frowned. Something was wrong... the quantity didn't seem right!

At this moment, Teacher Sweet's voice rang out again: "It's getting late now, everyone can go back to their rooms to rest. Of course, even at night, you can go on a date with your chosen partner."

Gu Mian was stroking his chin; he did indeed need to go on dates with Number 1 and Number 4.

Having finally identified the two real ghosts, we should definitely make the most of this opportunity.

So while everyone else was still hesitating about whether to go on a date with their chosen partner, they saw Gu Mian grabbing a woman whose head was covered in blood and dragging her into her room.

The door creaked as it closed, making a soft, mournful sound, like someone's wail.

Next, the fortune teller got up.

After watching Gu Mian drag something that was clearly a ghost into her room, she stood up unsteadily.

As if afraid she would fall, Dong'er, who was standing next to her, helped her up.

The fortune teller glanced at the two people beside him and said, "I'm going back to my room now."

It seems she has no intention of going on a date with anyone.

After the fortune teller returned to his room, Yuwen Hao quickly stood up, nodded hastily to Dong'er, and then hurried upstairs. As he rushed upstairs, a chill ran down his spine; the number of potential partners Dong'er had to choose from seemed a bit off.

The other three guests each had four potential partners, but Dong'er only had three people following her...

Yuwen Hao then remembered that Dong'er, their guest, had been out of sight for almost the entire day, and the few times they had met were all in this villa, so they had no choice but to meet.

Because they met so infrequently, no one noticed that Dong'er had lost one potential partner.
No, perhaps others have noticed, but haven't pointed it out...

While the lack of numbers might be due to insufficient logistics in this variety show segment, in a supernatural segment, things related to quantity still need to be carefully considered.

If it's not that the logistics for the dungeon are insufficient... then why is there one less selectable target for Dong'er?

While he was still pondering this, the stairs had already reached the end.

The first thing you see are two doors.

Turn left to your room, turn right to Gu Mian's room.

Just now, Gu Mian dragged a ghost that looked like it was struggling into the room on the right...

That being said, staying near someone like Gu Mian in a supernatural instance should be quite safe, but the problem is that this instance is different from other escape instances.

Even if Ren Gumian has great abilities, she can't help him distinguish which of the four people is a player, right?

Do not!
Yuwen Hao acted impulsively again.

Perhaps Gu Mian could help me throw the selected targets off the roof one by one; those that die are the players! But if they die, can they still be added to the cards?

He was suddenly startled by his own thoughts. Had he unconsciously started to think like Gu Mian after spending so much time with him?
At this moment, Yuwen Hao had already circled Gu Mian's door several times.

Just as he finally mustered the courage to ask this old acquaintance for help, he suddenly heard a sound from inside the room that resembled the start of a motorcycle.

He had heard that sound many times before!
That's the sound of a chainsaw coming out of the oven.

Upon hearing this sound, Yuwen Hao's previous thoughts vanished instantly, and he practically ran back to his room.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow... let's talk about it tomorrow..." Yuwen Hao quickly returned to his room and swallowed.

There was a wall clock in each room. After swallowing, Yuwen Hao looked in the direction of the wall clock.

It's almost 10 o'clock now.

He knew that many supernatural instances only began to exert their power at night, and the pitch-black night was the perfect time for vengeful ghosts to roam.

I wonder if this instance is the same. Although it's a variety show instance, Yuwen Hao always feels uneasy. He always fantasizes that his chosen partner will appear silently above his head in the middle of the night.

"It would be great if we could get all the guests together..."

As Yuwen Hao thought about it, he sighed. If he could gather all the guests together, they could take turns keeping watch and resting.

Speaking of which, he seemed to have done something like taking turns keeping watch once before in a previous instance. That's right! It was in the instance where he first met Gu Mian.

He still remembered how Gu Mian had stuck her head under the bed to scare the ghost when she heard noises under the bed.

The players in this instance are all quite strange.

Needless to say, Gu Mian would most likely refuse to keep watch if asked.

The fortune teller, on the other hand, seemed to have encountered some trouble. He returned looking sullen and no one knew what he was doing in his room.

Dong'er, who had the least presence, was also strange, seemingly avoiding contact with the other guests intentionally or unintentionally.

Come to think of it, I seem to be the only normal person in this instance...

Yuwen Hao sighed silently as he thought about it.

"Fine, since I can't get anyone together, I'll just have to go alone."

He plopped down on the bed: "Although I need to rest, I still need to stay alert... be ready to run for my life at any time!"

He was prepared to immediately dive into Gu Mian's room next door if anything unexpected happened that night.

"A chainsaw can solve everything," Yuwen Hao muttered to himself as he peacefully closed his eyes.

The beginning of Gugu's post is about to be censored... Ugh, what did I do wrong?!
