Global Collapse

Chapter 348 has one more

Just as 007 was also stuck in place following Coco's words, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

She immediately turned around and saw the face of the Yue woman.

By this time, Yue Nu had already looked over everyone around her.

Aside from one boy whom I didn't recognize, 007, Coco, and Chu Meiren could all open the player panel, and I could guess their names in this instance from their nicknames.

The nickname of the person carrying the big guitar on the other side was quite different from the others.

The doctor is green.

Yue Nu quickly scanned the names of the twelve people on the list in her mind and found that none of them matched the name 'Doctor'.

She thought of the unusual name "Gu Mian" on the list again and couldn't help but squint her eyes.

Upon seeing the Yue woman, Li Yibai immediately asked excitedly, "Where were you last night?"

The Yue woman frowned slightly.

Judging from this person's appearance, they must have encountered something last night, and it's very likely that Li Wentao's seven votes were cast by these people.

She glanced at 007 in front of her: "Don't I go home every night? Last night I was picked up and taken home... At three o'clock last night, I suddenly received a phone call asking me to vote. Do you know what happened?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Li Yibai, seemingly waiting for his reply.

Gu Mian looked at the suddenly appearing Yue Nu and saw that her player panel showed her game nickname as "Yue Nu".

It turns out she was picked up and taken home yesterday; no wonder she disappeared without a trace.

Furthermore, Yue Nu also received the voting notification for this game last night, which was sent by phone. This means that no matter where you are, you will receive the voting notification on time.

But speaking of last night's vote...

At this moment, Li Yibai's voice came from the side. He became more talkative, as if he had suddenly found someone to confide in.

Unlike Gu Mian and the others, he had never experienced those dungeons. For him, the scariest thing in his life was being caught by his homeroom teacher while dating.

He was just an ordinary person, but he was suddenly pulled into this bloody and terrifying game.

They are engaged in a struggle of killing or being killed.

"You don't know..." Li Yibai raised his voice at Yue Nu, "It's that game, the one we played called 'When Darkness Falls,' it's still going on, the ghosts are still killing people! Last night we suddenly ended up in another place... there were two buildings, two eerie buildings, and then... Fatty Wang and Li Wentao died!"

Yue Nu showed a shocked expression, but Gu Mian could tell that she wasn't really shocked; she was just putting on an act in front of Li Yibai.

She opened her eyes wide and exclaimed, "How could this be! You said someone died last night? I was a little confused when I heard on the phone yesterday that Li Wentao was voted out by seven people, but I didn't expect it was because of this game... But the person with the most votes in each round dies?"

Li Yibai stated with certainty: "He will die! We saw him die with our own eyes!"

But just as he opened his mouth, eager to say something more, a slightly overweight middle-aged man suddenly walked towards him.

Gu Mian saw Li Yibai, who had been opening his mouth, suddenly close it tightly.

This looks like one of Li Yibai's teachers.

Sure enough, the slightly overweight middle-aged man approached and looked at Li Yibai with a strange gaze: "What are you doing here? What time is it? Aren't you in class yet?"

The group knew that if they told their homeroom teacher what had happened last night, they would be treated like crazy and sent home alone.

In this situation, no one dares to be alone.

Coco and Li Yibai immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice, not daring to refute.

The two quickly left under the man's gaze.

The middle-aged man gave the remaining Gu Mian and the others a strange look before following Coco and Li Yibai away.

Li Yibai seemed very anxious, but he had no choice but to leave. He looked back at Gu Mian and the others several times, as if he wanted to sneak back.

But the middle-aged man followed them closely, giving the two no opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

007 watched Coco and the other person leave: "Is it really okay to let them go like this?"

Gu Mian shook her head slightly: "Anyway, we'll have to go to their class to find them sooner or later."

Yuan Qinghua, Guo Jimei, and Zhang Pingfan, who were not present last night, are all in the same class as Keke. They will have to go find her sooner or later.

Now that there were no outsiders present, Yue Nu suppressed her surprise and looked at Gu Mian beside her: "My name is Yue Nu. I don't know how to address you. You know your nickname seems to be a little different, right?"

007 frowned and looked at Yue Nu.

She sensed that Yue Nu harbored some inexplicable hostility towards Gu Mian, but she quickly dismissed it, assuming that Yue Nu had probably guessed Gu Mian's identity to some extent.

Most people would be hostile towards those 30,000 game coins.

Gu Mian didn't seem to care much about the malice emanating from Yue Nu. He glanced at her and said, "Just call me Gu Mian."

I'll be spending many more days with her in the instance, and I can't hide her name from her.

Upon hearing the reply, Yue Nu withdrew her gaze, as if she had no recollection of the name Gu Mian.

“By the way,” Yue Nu looked at 007 again, “can you tell me what happened last night? You don’t need to go into too much detail, just tell me the cause and the result.”

007 briefly explained: "Last night, a few of us were inexplicably taken to two buildings. Pan Yue saw some things during the process and became convinced that Li Wentao was a ghost. So at 3 a.m., apart from Li Wentao himself... we all voted for Li Wentao."

Upon hearing this, Yue Nu's face showed an expression of "I knew it."

007 continued, "The one killed by the ghost last night... was Fatty Wang, a dungeon player just like us; after Pan Yue voted and found out Li Wentao wasn't a ghost, she became somewhat mentally unstable and then disappeared." Hearing this, Yue Nu frowned: "Besides me, who else wasn't teleported last night?"

Without hesitation, 007 announced his name: "Besides you, there are Zhang Pingfan, Guo Jimei, and Yuan Qinghua."

"You came back to school to find those of us who weren't teleported last night, right? Even though we weren't with you last night, we're still suspects," Yue Nu said.

Gu Mian nodded: "That's right."

Unfortunately, none of these three people were in his class.

Yue Nu then looked at Gu Mian: "So, were there any clues about ghosts last night? Even though you voted for the wrong person, you should still be able to find some clues, right? Which of the remaining ten people do you think are the most suspicious?"

“No,” Gu Mian shook her head. “Everyone except Coco had plenty of free time last night. All of them had enough time to kill someone.”

The Yue woman frowned: "You really are..."

Gu Mian interrupted her: "By the way, did you vote last night?"

The Yue woman seemed somewhat displeased that her words had been abruptly interrupted, but she still replied, "Yes, last night..."

But before she could finish speaking, Gu Mian saw a woman who looked like a teacher walking over.

It was during working hours, and several teachers passed by them every now and then.

Gu Mian didn't care much about these things at first, but Yue Nu's expression suddenly became abnormal, and she even stopped speaking.

007's expression changed as well.

Immediately afterward, 007 quickly spoke up: "The homeroom teacher is here. We need to go back to the classroom first. I'll go see if Pan Yue has returned to school. When should we meet up again?"

Li Wentao from their class is dead, and his body could be discovered at any time. In the meantime, the two of them cannot do anything strange to attract attention, otherwise they will easily be suspected.

If you are suspected, you may be detained in the police station for 24 hours.

The situation in a dungeon is always unpredictable; no one knows what will happen in those 24 hours.

Gu Mian thought for a moment: "We don't need to drag this out for too long. We'll come find you after the first period."

"Okay." 007 nodded slightly, then quickly left with Yue Nu.

At this moment, only Gu Mian and Chu Changge remained.

Gu Mian looked at Chu Changge beside her: "Shall we go back to the classroom first?"

His deskmate, Xu Xingcheng, also seemed to have some connection to the game, and Gu Mian wanted to find out more about him.

Chu Changge nodded slightly.

The two then started walking towards the classroom.

After they had walked a short distance, Gu Mian suddenly spoke up: "By the way, has there been something you noticed?"

Chu Changge said softly, "Hmm, which one are you talking about?"

The two had already reached the foot of the teaching building.

The students were mostly already seated in the classroom; there were hardly any people here.

Gu Mian continued, "Regarding the vote, eight people voted last night, and three abstained."

He remembered that last night, he, Chu Changge, 007, Coco, Li Yibai, and Pan Yue all voted for Li Wentao.

Li Wentao, who had almost lost his mind, also participated in the vote, angrily shouting out Pan Yue's name.

So all seven of them present voted.

Of the seven people, Li Wentao received six votes and Pan Yue received one vote.

Last night, Li Wentao received seven votes, which means that in addition to those present, one of the four people who were not present also voted for Li Wentao.

That's why Gu Mian asked Yue Nu if she had voted.

She voted, but left in a hurry before she could even say who she was voting for.

"Theoretically speaking, Yue Nu should be Li Wentao's seventh vote..."

At this point, Gu Mian suddenly fell silent.

The two had already started going upstairs.

Chu Changge's glasses reflected a glint of light, and after several seconds he spoke: "But you don't think Yue Nu's tone sounded like she voted for Li Wentao, right?"

That's right.

Gu Mian nodded.

I was a little confused when I heard on the phone yesterday that Li Wentao was voted for by seven people. "Although you voted for the wrong person," Yue Nu said these words, without any indication that she herself had voted for Li Wentao.

So it's very likely she voted for someone else.

“But we know that only eight people voted last night,” Gu Mian frowned. “The seven of us plus Yue Nu make a total of eight people, but if she didn’t vote for Li Wentao, then where did Li Wentao’s seventh vote come from?”

It seems like I can post this chapter tomorrow. I'm going to take advantage of this limited time to insult you all.

Everyone here is a puppy!
