Global Collapse

Chapter 354 Life

"Who?"

The Yue woman suddenly looked back.

Behind me was a long table pieced together and scattered stools, and beyond that was a half-open classroom door. At that moment, a gust of wind blew in from the corridor, causing the wooden door to sway slightly.

There was a window directly opposite the door, and there was no one there.

The weather is lovely today. Through the window, I can see the azure sky and large, fluffy white clouds. The whole sky has a warm and cozy feel, so warm that Yue Nu almost forgot that it's already the end of September in the instance.

Yue Nu stared at the blue sky and white clouds outside for a while before hesitatingly turning back to continue pushing her phone into the radiator.

This time she didn't dare to be slow. She quickly pushed her phone into the gap, took a closer look, and made sure no one could see it before turning around and hurriedly walking out.

She had a strange feeling, as if her every move had been watched by someone else.

"It's probably just my imagination..." Yue Nu felt a slight chill run down her spine and quickened her pace.

She quickly returned to the dormitory building.

From afar, Yue Nu spotted 007 and Guo Jimei standing downstairs in the dormitory building. Since most students had already returned to their dormitories by this time, the two downstairs were quite conspicuous.

"She's back..." Before Yue Nu even got close, she saw 007 looking in her direction. 007's expression seemed a little strange, and Guo Jimei next to her also had an indescribable feeling of unease.

The Yue woman also felt that something was amiss.

Only 007 and Guo Jimei are downstairs now. Where did everyone else go?
She ran over quickly while thinking about it.

Seeing Yue Nu running over, 007 asked first, "Did you get Pan Yue's diary?"

The Yue woman shook her head: "No, I didn't find it..."

“What a coincidence,” 007 raised his head slightly, “We also couldn’t find the paper that Guo Jiming used to vote. We searched the whole dormitory but couldn’t find it.”

"Didn't find it?" Yue Nu looked at Guo Jimei beside her.

At this moment, Guo Jimei's face turned somewhat pale. She quickly tried to explain, "I put it on the bed this morning and didn't touch it. I don't know why I can't find it..."

Yue Nu frowned as she glanced at Guo Jimei, then turned to 007: "Let's not talk about that for now, where are the others?"

007 shook his head: "I don't know. When we came down, all five people who were here were gone."

"All gone?" Yue Nu asked, somewhat surprised.

Just then, she suddenly remembered the feeling of being spied on when she put her phone down, and a sense of terror arose within her. She then looked at 007 and asked, "By the way, you two are always together, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" 007 asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Yue woman shook her head slightly: "It's nothing..."

So at that time, those spying on him were people other than 007 and Guo Jimei, including Gu Mian, Chu Changge, Keke, Li Yibai, Yuan Qinghua, and Pan Yue and Zhang Pingfan who were never there.

The extra vote Li Wentao received in the first round was cast by someone who wasn't in the building last night; it was highly likely a vote cast by ghosts, including Yuan Qinghua, Guo Jimei, and Zhang Pingfan.

There are two subtle overlaps between the two lists.

One is Zhang Pingfan, who has been missing for several days but is still alive.

One of them is Yuan Qinghua, the class monitor who is in the same class as Zhang Pingfan.

These two people... are highly suspicious, Yue Nu thought silently.

At this moment, Guo Jimei was still quietly defending herself: "Someone probably packed up that piece of paper, otherwise it would be impossible to search the whole dormitory and not find it."

The Yue woman looked up and saw that Guo Jimei in front of her was also suspicious in many ways, but these suspicious points were too obvious.

Despite her doubts, Yue Nu still ranked Guo Jimei as a suspect after Zhang Pingfan and Yuan Qinghua.

At this moment, 007 frowned and asked, "What do we do? Go find them?"

Yue Nu nodded slightly: "Find them. The school is only so big. Everyone has already started their lunch break. There aren't many people outside the dorms, so it should be easy to find them... Also, let's split up and search separately, then meet up in that classroom. Anyway, we're already scattered as far apart as we can go, and since ghosts can't kill people during the day, there won't be much danger even if you're alone. Remember, whether we find them or not, we need to meet up in the classroom when the bell rings for the end of the second period this afternoon."

007 nodded solemnly. At that moment, Gu Mian was following Zhang Pingfan at a distance.

That's right, they caught a glimpse of Zhang Pingfan while waiting for 007 and the others. Gu Mian and the others naturally didn't recognize Zhang Pingfan, but Li Yibai and Yuan Qinghua recognized him at a glance.

Because Zhang Pingfan was not far from them, Li Yibai excitedly led them straight over.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Pingfan turned and ran away as if he had done something wrong, but Gu Mian and the others certainly wouldn't let him get away.

However, ideals are always more beautiful than reality. Zhang Pingfan has excellent physical fitness and runs very fast.

Gu Mian, who was sprinting ahead with his guitar on his back, was able to keep up, but when he looked back, there wasn't a single person in sight.

The few who were physically weak were all left behind.

Zhang Pingfan sprinted for a long time before finally stopping in a corner of the playground, panting heavily. He kept looking around, as if afraid someone would catch up with him.

Gu Mian originally wanted to rush up and grab Zhang Pingfan, but before he could carry out this vicious plan, he saw a familiar face appear in his line of sight, heading straight for Zhang Pingfan.

It was Xu Xingcheng, Gu Mian's deskmate, who was particularly interested in the game they were playing, but he wasn't one of the twelve participants.

Gu Mian stopped her hand from grabbing someone and hid in the shadows, silently observing them.

Xu Xingcheng and Zhang Pingfan seemed to have made a prior agreement, as they immediately gathered around each other upon seeing one another.

Xu Xingcheng looked very angry. As soon as the two met, he was angrily talking and gesturing wildly.

Gu Mian was too far away to hear.

Zhang Pingfan remained silent, simply keeping his head down and nodding occasionally, as if he felt extremely guilty.

Xu Xingcheng seemed to feel that talking was not enough, and even reached out and grabbed Zhang Pingfan.

At this moment, Zhang Pingfan finally put up a fight. He suddenly broke free from Xu Xingcheng's grasp and ran towards the railing at the edge of the playground. He flipped over and disappeared from the school without a trace.

Gu Mian stroked her chin in the shadows: "Is this Zhang Pingfan... really a ghost?"

Coco was wandering alone near the restaurant at that moment.

The chase for Zhang Pingfan had separated the five of them, and Coco was searching for the others on her own.

Just then, she suddenly saw 007 walking towards her from a distance.

Coco stopped and then turned around to go over.

But just then, she suddenly saw Chu Changge coming from the direction of the playground.

Chu Changge walked straight towards 007, and 007 saw Chu Changge coming towards him. The two quickly walked towards each other.

Coco paused slightly, but instead of walking up, she quickly slipped behind a few trees in the green belt.

Coco saw Chu Changge and 007 meet up not far from her, and she could even hear their voices coming from the other side.

First came 007's faint voice, as if he wanted to ask something: "You..."

Then came Chu Changge's voice, which was slightly clearer: "Do me a favor."

"What?" 007 seemed a little confused.

"Talking as we walk."

Then came the sound of two people's footsteps. Coco listened carefully and realized that they seemed to be walking further and further away.

Hearing the footsteps fading into the distance, Coco slowly peeked out and looked in the direction the two had left.

But just as she saw the two people's backs, her scalp suddenly tingled.

Chu Changge turned his head halfway back and looked at her in a strange way!
Coco froze, not moving.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she saw Chu Changge turn his head back, as if he hadn't seen anything and continued walking forward.

Gugu didn't go coo! Gugu still dreams of earning 10,000 a day!
