Global Collapse

Chapter 312 The male's feet twitched, the female's eyes were glazed.

Gu Mian was surprised that this guy could actually pull out another crystal ball; he truly deserves to be called a qualified fortune teller.

Her face was pale and her eyes were dark. If her complexion were any darker, she might have been taken to the zoo to be impersonated as a national treasure.

Gu Mian guessed that she hadn't slept last night.

The fortune teller was holding a crystal ball, and his face, with dark circles under his eyes, was making a strange expression, as if he had something difficult to say.

Gu Mian understood immediately. Could it be that she had divined something again?
At this moment, Dong'er also peeked out from the next room.

Seeing that everyone had gathered in the hall, she quickly slipped out of the room and closed the door.

"Alright," Teacher Sweetie said, turning her gaze away, "Now that everyone is here, you can begin today's activities. There are many recreational facilities on the island waiting for you, and our photography teacher will be here to take pictures..."

As they were talking, the cameramen in the hall, who were carrying video cameras, pointed their lenses at them.

Gu Mian observed their faces. No two of these cameramen looked alike. He had originally thought that the cameramen were just mass-produced items in this instance, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

"And..." At this point, Teacher Sweet turned her gaze to Gu Mian, "Sir, since two of your potential partners have been injured at work, I have arranged for them to rest and they cannot participate in activities with you for the time being. Anyway, you have already recognized their identities."

So today, only numbers 2 and 3 are left with Gu Mian.

Unfortunately, before Gu Mian could ask No. 1 any questions, he was hidden away by Teacher Sweet, which was heartbreaking.

Just then, the fortune teller, whose complexion was not good, suddenly spoke up: "I feel a little unwell and would like to rest for a while."

Teacher Sweetie smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. Even if you rest all day, it's fine. As long as you can choose your crush in the end, our cameraman won't come into the room to disturb your rest."

The fortune teller returned to his room as he had hoped.

However, her expression was too obvious, and even Yuwen Hao could tell that the diviner seemed to be hiding something.

After he followed Gu Mian out of the villa, he whispered, "Speaking of which, did you see that the woman called the fortune teller looked a little off... and she was holding a crystal ball, which looked quite professional."

Yuwen Hao was unaware that being a fortune teller was her profession, so it's not surprising that she found the crystal ball strange.

Gu Mian was rather curious about this Yuwen Hao.

Yesterday when I saw him, he looked like he'd seen a ghost, and I wanted to avoid him at all costs. But today he's like a stubborn plaster that I can't get rid of.

Seeing that Gu Mian didn't respond, Yuwen Hao continued, "By the way, did you notice Dong'er? I noticed something was off about her yesterday."

Gu Mian noticed that Yuwen Hao was paying attention to nothing else but the two female players.

Even though she is indeed good-looking, you can't spend all your attention on her.

Ignoring Gu Mian's expression, Yuwen Hao continued, "Have you noticed how many potential partners Dong'er has...?"

However, he was interrupted by Gu Mian before he could finish speaking.

Gu Mian looked at Yuwen Hao beside her: "Do you remember when we first entered this instance, we were scattered in our own rooms, right?"

Yuwen Hao didn't quite understand why Gu Mian suddenly brought this up, but he still nodded: "Yes, we listened to the rules in the room for a while before going to the hall to see Teacher Sweetie. After we got to the hall, she added some more details."

“This is really pointless,” Gu Mian laughed. “Since Teacher Sweet will eventually give us the rules in the lobby, why make us stay in the room and listen to a part first?”

It's really unnecessary to go through the trouble of changing locations halfway through to hear the game rules again.

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Hao also began to feel strange. He hadn't thought anything was wrong before, but after listening to Gu Mian's explanation, he realized that this matter was indeed not so simple.

Gu Mian continued, "You need to understand, this isn't just our game."

Although Gu Mian added the words "you have to understand" beforehand, Yuwen Hao still didn't understand.

He couldn't connect the dots between Gu Mian's words and was completely baffled. Unable to understand such profound language, Yuwen Hao could only ask about things he could comprehend: "Where are you planning to go today?"

Yesterday, he witnessed Gu Mian kick a ghost off a drop tower at the amusement park.

Yuwen Hao subconsciously felt that Gu Mian would also choose a high-risk location today.

For example, cable cars whose tracks could break at any time.

But things didn't turn out the way he expected.

Gu Mian turned around and glanced behind her, and Yuwen Hao followed suit. Behind them stood their chosen subjects and several cameramen surrounding them.

Looking further back, there was a beautiful little villa, which was also their resting place. At this moment, the villa was illuminated by the morning sun, reflecting a somewhat dazzling light.

"I want to go back," Gu Mian said.

Yuwen Hao didn't hear clearly: "What are you going to do?"

“Go back,” Gu Mian said again, “go back and arrest them.”

The fortune teller was huddled in her room, the crystal ball resting on the table, and she was all alone in the room.

It was very quiet here; there was no sound except for the wind rustling the leaves.

She stared at the crystal ball on the table for a long time.

Last night, the fortune teller performed a divination for Dong'er without her knowledge.

Because the direction of the divination was uncertain, the diviner didn't have much hope. He just wanted to use the divination of Dong'er to see if anything unusual would happen during the process.

Unexpectedly, the crystal ball did not explode this time. Instead, it clearly revealed the most important clue for Dong'er—which one following her was a living person.

Thinking of this, the fortune teller couldn't help but shudder, pondering the outcome of last night.

There are no living people!

None of Dong'er's chosen targets are living people! They're all ghosts!

Why are there no living people?
Teacher Sweetie clearly stated that there would be one player among their selectable targets, and they would win as long as they chose that player.

However, the divination revealed that none of the living people among Dong'er's chosen targets were actually alive.

In other words, it's highly likely that Teacher Sweetie lied to them...

The potential partners for these guests might all be ghosts!

"how so……"

She was already lost and confused. The fortune teller had no time to try to identify the players hidden among her chosen targets, because she knew it would be a waste of time.

But the more she thought about it, the more something seemed off: "Wait a minute, how could the dungeon blatantly give us fake rules?"

Thinking about this, the fortune teller had a bold idea: "Could the problem lie with Dong'er?"

Did Teacher Sweet deliberately give them fake rules, or... did Dong'er's part have a problem?

The fortune teller was deeply troubled; she had to find out the truth, as it concerned whether any of the people she had chosen were actually alive.

Thinking of this, the fortune teller calmed down a bit. It was not convenient to investigate Teacher Sweetie directly, but Dong'er was right next door to her.

As she thought about it, she stood up. Dong'er should have already left the room with her chosen one by now. Perhaps she could take the opportunity to go to Dong'er's room and check if there were any clues.
