Global Collapse

Chapter 366 The Sneaky Beauty Chu

The Yue woman was the only one in the dark corridor.

After confirming that Gu Mian and the other person had followed, she slowly walked out from behind the door: "We actually ran into them. What a close call. Luckily, we managed to shake them off."

Looking at the empty corridor in front of her, Yue Nu frowned again: "My doll just died..."

She knew perfectly well that her behavior during the day was more than enough to attract the ghost's attention.

She could very well be the one to die tonight.

However, Yue Nu did not intend to be eliminated so easily. After all, she was a player, and she would be embarrassed to enter the dungeon without having a few special items.

In order to survive until tomorrow, she used a special item.

[A Lover's Doll (Disposable)]

[Description: A doll created by a madwoman, chosen as the perfect tool to keep her lover by her side forever]

Putting aside the eerie description, the functions themselves are quite practical.

[Function: Completely replicates the user's physical characteristics, including height, weight, appearance, and voice, to an absolute degree of realism. Even death can be compared to a real corpse, and the device can perform simple actions under the user's command.]

As eight o'clock approached tonight, Yue Nu placed it in the classroom where the group had been hiding, making it resemble her. This way, any ghosts that harbored ill will towards her would be deceived by the doll.

She went into hiding until recently when she was spotted by Gu Mian and her friends.

"It was just when I ran into Gu Mian and the others... that my doll died..." Yue Nu recalled. "The doll was killed in the classroom. Gu Mian and the others were right in front of me at the time, so the ghost that killed the doll wasn't one of them..."

"I have to go and see for myself..."

Yue Nu was still preoccupied with the cell phone she had hidden in the classroom.

Since the doll was killed in the classroom, the hidden cell phone must have recorded everything.

To avoid revealing its identity, the ghost will never linger at the murder scene, so going to that classroom now is the safest option.

As Yue Nu pondered, she frowned: "If I want to leave this awful place... I've used way too many special items in this instance..."

Meanwhile, Gu Mian and Guo Jimei were searching for the escaped person in the dark corridor.

Before the two had taken more than a few steps, they heard Li Yibai's voice.

He peeked out from a door nearby, and after seeing Gu Mian and the other person clearly, he excitedly ran out: "I've finally met some living people!"

Guo Jimei looked at Li Yibai with suspicion: "Were you running away just now?"

"What?" Li Yibai seemed a little confused.

The two had argued earlier in the day, so the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Seeing his expression of complete ignorance, Guo Jimei had no choice but to change her tune: "You were also brought here?"

Li Yibai leaned closer to Gu Mian and nodded: "As soon as it was eight o'clock, I found myself in this godforsaken place... At first, I had Lin Qi with me, but we hadn't been exploring this godforsaken place for long when we saw a chainsaw coming through the door next to us!"

"A chainsaw?" Guo Jimei was clearly taken aback.

She probably never imagined that ghosts would use weapons.

Although chainsaws aren't something ghosts use... Li Yibai nodded: "We were so scared that we turned around and ran. As we ran, the lights above our heads started to flicker. After a few flickers, we got separated... Then I ran into Xu Keke, but we got separated again. Speaking of which, when I got separated from Xu Keke, I thought I heard Guo Jimei call out somewhere."

Guo Jimei was speechless: "I ran into Gu Mian at the time, and we were both startled."

Gu Mian looked at Guo Jimei and asked, "Who was startled by you two?"
Li Yibai nodded: "I see. Have you met Lin Qi?"

This young man seems to have Lin Qi on his mind.

Guo Jimei shook her head directly.

"Speaking of which," Gu Mian suddenly spoke up, "Li Yibai, you were with Lin Qi at the beginning, right?"

Li Yibai nodded: "The lights above our heads flickered several times before we got separated."

In that case, neither Li Yibai nor Lin Qi could be the ghost he saw in the corridor, nor could they be the mysterious figure heading towards the elevator that Guo Jimei saw.

Gu Mian felt a headache coming on.

The clues are too fragmented right now, it will probably be very difficult to find the ghost.

Gu Mian encountered a ghost in the corridor, followed by Xu Xingcheng, who was acting strangely. She then ran into Guo Jimei, who was pretending to be a ghost in a corner, and Chu Changge, who was acting suspiciously in front of the door. She also saw an old photo that seemed to have no significance.

Now I've run into Li Yibai.

According to him...

"Oh, right!" Li Yibai suddenly spoke up again, "I saw Chu Meiren before I separated from Lin Qi and met Xu Keke!"

In this instance, Chu Changge's name is Chu Meiren.

In fact, Gu Mian found it difficult to associate this name with him.

Guo Jimei frowned: "What did you see?"

Li Yibai frowned as well: "I saw him acting suspiciously in front of several doors... well, not really suspiciously, like he was looking for something, but not quite..."

Gu Mian pinched her forehead. "What's the difference between saying this and not saying anything at all?"
At this moment, Li Yibai added, "By the way, it felt like he was looking for a room. From his appearance, it seemed like he was looking for a suitable room, because after he opened the door, he just stood at the door and looked inside, not like he was looking for something specific, but more like he was looking at a house."

"Looking for a room?" Guo Jimei asked, puzzled. "Is he planning to stay here tonight? Wait..."

As she said this, she looked at Gu Mian beside her: "When the two of us met Chu Meiren, he seemed to be in the same state, didn't he?"

Seems to be looking for something.

But he just stood at the door and looked inside.

Looking back now, it really did feel like we were looking at a room.

Why do we need to...find a room?
Li Yibai looked at Gu Mian and the other person: "You two ran into him too? What about Chu Meiren?"

As he spoke, he looked behind the two of them, but there was nothing there.

Guo Jimei hesitated before speaking, "He... got separated from us."

Let me go, let me drive!
