Global Collapse

Chapter 318: A Collection of Bizarre Behaviors - Kidnapping the Host During a Blind Date

"I never imagined that I, the host of a special instance, would fall to such a state..."

The fortune teller felt a chill run down his spine.

What is she saying!
What does it mean to say 'I am the host of a special instance'?

Sweet Teacher is indeed the host of the special episode, but she absolutely cannot say that herself.

The fortune teller always believed that all dungeons would be rolled back. After a group of players completed a dungeon, the dungeon would be rolled back to its original state before accepting the next group of players. The NPCs in the dungeon were just tools created by the game, and their memories would be erased along with the rollback.

But it seems that's not the case now!
She always kept her presence secret when entering dungeons, never mentioning words like "dungeon" or "game" in front of NPCs.

But the NPCs in these instances are so aware of their own identities. How can a character in a game know that he is an NPC?

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

The fortune teller swayed, feeling somewhat unsteady.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet to my heart.

These copies are not data... they are alive...

At this moment, Gu Mian in the room had turned around to look at Sweet Teacher. He knew that the fortune teller had not gone far. Sweet Teacher would say such a thing at this critical moment, clearly intending for the fortune teller outside to hear.

Moreover, there was a threatening tone in his voice.

It's as if they might expose their identity in front of other players at any moment.

Being exposed wasn't a big deal, but Gu Mian was quite worried that the people who knew her identity would be too talkative and say things like, "That Gu Mian is easy to recognize, handsome and dashing," making everyone know what Gu Mian looks like.

Especially for professional players.

Players with professional skills usually have a lot of friends; of course, besides themselves.

Seeing that Gu Mian didn't speak, Teacher Sweet raised an eyebrow and continued, "I can make an exception and tell you which of the remaining numbers 2 and 3 is the player. You can fill in your crush immediately and leave this instance..."

God!

The fortune teller standing at the top of the stairs unconsciously took a step back, wanting to hear more clearly; her heart was pounding.

What's going on with this copy?

How can an NPC proactively inform a player about such a thing?
Sweet Teacher's voice continued to come from the room, and this time even the fortune teller could detect a threat in it: "Besides you, there are four other players left in this instance, and none of them are easy to deal with."

Although the fortune teller outside didn't understand what Sweet Teacher was threatening at first, Gu Mian did.

If I stay in this instance, the other four players will find out my identity at any time, and may even find out that my nickname has been covered up.

Coincidentally, the remaining four are not to be underestimated. Not only will they covet him, but they are also very likely to share his information with others.

Without the cover of her identity, Gu Mian would have to be wary of being stabbed in the back, both in the real world and in the game.

This is a naked threat.

Now that we've set a precedent here, we can use this method to threaten any NPC we encounter in the future. Sweet Teacher can truly be considered a pioneering NPC of the new era.

At this moment, Gu Mian began to reminisce about the vengeful ghosts in other instances. No matter how fierce they were, none of them had ever threatened him so blatantly. Although the sweet teacher in front of him looked human, she posed a much greater threat to him than those vengeful ghosts.

Gu Mian decided that if she ever encountered the ghosts she had beaten up again, she would definitely apologize to them properly.

The sweet teacher smiled and looked at Gu Mian: "Of course, you shouldn't even think about doing anything to me, I can..."

But she was interrupted by Gu Mian halfway through her sentence: "What did you just say?"

Teacher Sweet frowned slightly. She wasn't quite sure what Gu Mian was doing, but after hesitating for a moment, she repeated, "I said don't try anything to do to me..."

"No, last sentence."

“I can tell you…”

"No, we still need to move forward. It's that line you used when you lamented the vicissitudes of life and the many twists and turns of fate."

Teacher Sweet pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "I never imagined that I, a host of a special instance, would fall to such a state as this?"

Gu Mian laughed: "Don't think that you've fallen to such a state today. There are several people who are in even worse shape than you. Your current situation is nothing. The worst is always yet to come."

The sweet teacher's mind worked quickly, and her smile immediately froze on her lips: "What do you mean?"

The fortune teller stood outside, not daring to move, silently listening to the conversation between the two inside the room.

She knew that the two people in the room had tacitly allowed her to eavesdrop, but even with their permission, she dared not make a sound.

After the sweet teacher's voice was heard, the doctor's voice came next:

“What I mean is—this isn’t the worst time for you.”

Sweet Teacher continued to speak: "What..."

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by screams.

Upon hearing the sound, the fortune teller turned sharply and took a step in that direction, but then stopped; she dared not go any further.

Then, a sound like a motorcycle starting up came from the room. After a while, Teacher Sweet's questioning voice came again: "Are you crazy?"

Before the fortune teller could figure out where the motorcycle came from, he heard the doctor's voice again.

"If I back down to you today, all the NPCs will be able to use this to threaten me in the future. Between two evils, I choose the lesser. I think being threatened by players is slightly better than being threatened by NPCs... Besides, I don't like you today."

How could the diviner not understand after hearing this?

It's highly likely that the doctor kidnapped Teacher Sweetie!
Isn't it said that players can't do anything to NPCs? And how exactly did he kidnap them, using a motorcycle?

Upon realizing this, the fortune teller could no longer control himself and quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.

After running a few steps, the scene inside the house came into view.

That guitar case didn't contain medical supplies that could save lives in a critical moment; it was clearly a gleaming, menacing weapon!
