Global Collapse

Chapter 370 Continuing to Whip the Corpse
It's Lady Chu!

Pan Yue saw Chu Meiren's gloomy face appear behind the door.

The Yue woman seemed to sense something and looked back.

The terrifying face slowly moved and disappeared through the doorway.

The Yue woman saw nothing.

Pan Yue stared at the screen for a long time until Yue Nu disappeared from the screen, at which point her stiff fingers holding the phone finally moved.

What is going on?

There were two Yue women...

What lies behind the Yue Maiden...

Lin Qi is a ghost; she killed people...

And then there's Chu Meiren, who appeared in the video from the very beginning...

Quite a few oddities appeared in this twelve-hour-long video.

Pan Yue stared at the progress bar for a few seconds and immediately decided to send the video to other people.

But when she returned to her friends page, she realized that she was the only one online at that moment.

The profile pictures in the classmate list are all grayed out.

Pan Yue was stunned for a moment: "Yeah, everyone else is still at school except me, they're not online."

So, did Yue Nu send this video to herself? Because she was the only one online in the list.

Pan Yue was unsure whether anyone else had received Yue Nu's video.

But one thing is certain: even if Yue Nu sent them the video, they wouldn't be able to see it, because none of the students at the school had their phones with them.

Thinking of this, Pan Yue clenched her fists, then made up her mind: "No, I must tell others about this tonight!"

She glanced at the wall clock in the living room; it was 1:04.

At this moment, Gu Mian was standing in front of a stairwell with Coco and a few others.

Surprisingly, the four of them were not inexplicably separated again. They found the evacuation map nailed to the wall, and after circling around the underground without any injuries, they found several stairwells leading upwards. However, without exception, all the doors leading to the ground were locked from the inside with iron chains, and they were tied so tightly that not a single gap could be opened, completely eliminating the possibility of squeezing out through the cracks in the doors.

What they were now facing was the last stairwell door they hadn't checked.

Unsurprisingly, the door was also locked from the inside.

This rusty chain could be easily cut by Gu Mian simply by taking out the chainsaw.

But taking out a chainsaw in front of so many people might cause some misunderstandings...

Li Yibai held a flashlight and shone it on the iron chain locking the gate: "This is really a ghost story. How come all the doors that lead up are locked from the inside? How did the person who locked the doors get out?"

Gu Mian also raised her flashlight and shone it around the dark surroundings: "The elevator probably wasn't sealed off back then? Maybe they locked all the doors from the inside and then took the elevator up."

Guo Jimei shuddered twice: "If you asked me to lock all the doors and then take the elevator up, I definitely wouldn't dare."

Coco, standing next to her, nodded in agreement: "I wouldn't dare either."

As Gu Mian walked forward to examine the rusty chains on the door, she asked, "By the way, Li Yibai and Coco, have you heard any rumors about the underground of this school?"

During the time they walked together, Guo Jimei had already explained to Keke that they were in the school's underground area.

Coco looked quite surprised as well. Li Yibai was the first to speak, shaking his head: "I've only ever heard that there's an underground area in the school, and I've only heard that it was sealed off many years ago due to some accident."

Coco was originally a dungeon player, so Gu Mian didn't expect her to be able to give a proper answer.

As expected, she shook her head, indicating that she knew nothing.

Gu Mian continued, "When Guo Jimei and I met Chu Meiren, he found an old photo in here. It was a group photo of twelve people, six men and six women."

"A group photo of twelve people..."

"Six men and six women..."

Li Yibai muttered for a moment: "If you're saying this, it's not a group photo of the twelve of us playing the game, is it? I don't think we've ever taken a group photo together."

“Of course not,” Gu Mian said while fumbling with the iron chain. “I glanced at the photo a few times and then returned it to Chu Meiren. It was taken six years ago, and I don’t recognize any of the people in it.”

Guo Jimei nodded: "I don't know any of them either, except..."

"Besides what?" Li Yibai looked at Guo Jimei nervously.

Guo Jimei frowned and continued, "Except for one girl, who has no face, but I always feel like I've seen her somewhere before."

Coco shrank back: "Don't scare me."

Li Yibai frowned as well: "We certainly didn't appear here for no reason. Maybe they want us to find clues about ghosts here?"

Gu Mian said, "I don't recall any rules mentioning such a good thing as finding clues."

Chu Changge also said that his appearance in the school's underground area was most likely an accident.

Ghosts probably wouldn't be happy to throw them into such a place.

Players shouldn't be in this kind of place if the dungeon is running normally.

Perhaps something unexpected happened, and they were forcibly sent to this place by forces that did not belong to the instance to look for clues.

Why force players to come to this place?

At this moment, Li Yibai spoke up: "This game doesn't say that ghosts can transform into other people's appearances, but the incident with Li Wentao clearly misled us because the ghost transformed into his appearance, right?"

Gu Mian touched her chin, thinking that what turned into Li Wentao might not necessarily be some kind of ghost.

At this point, Li Yibai frowned even more: "And the rules didn't say that the item Yue Nu mentioned during the day would appear, the item that can directly reveal a ghost's identity. By the way, who drew that item? You guys?"

Of course, Gu Mian felt that the prop Yue Nu mentioned during the day was most likely a lie to deceive them.

Even if that item really exists, it's highly likely that only players in dungeons like them can use it.

Because there are special items in the dungeons, and most of the special items in each dungeon are related to the dungeon itself.

The Yue woman must have found the relevant special item in the dungeon.

She must understand that special items can only be used by players, so she wouldn't easily hand them over to someone who can't use them.

If that thing really existed, the Yue woman would most likely still be carrying it with her.

At that moment, the corpses of two Yue women lay across the middle of the classroom.

The tightly closed classroom door was suddenly pushed open a crack, revealing a pitch-black corridor outside.
