Global Collapse

Chapter 373 The Vicious Gu Mian

"Lin Qi!" Pan Yue looked at the person who had come and suddenly took a big step back.

As if he had spotted the faintly glowing phone in Pan Yue's hand, 007, lurking in the darkness, suddenly turned and ran away before anyone else could react.

Li Yibai was the first to shout, "Wait!"

It turned out that he really cared about 007. As soon as Gu Mian saw him shout, she took a step and ran in the direction 007 had fled.

But before he could take two steps, Chu Changge grabbed him suddenly: "Calm down."

Gu Mian looked at Chu Changge's face, and indeed, no one present could be more composed than him.

Li Yibai struggled without turning his head: "Let go!"

But by then, 007's figure had already vanished into the darkness and was completely invisible.

Pan Yue shouted, "See? I told you she was a ghost! Otherwise, why would she be so nervous and run away as soon as she saw us?"

"Shut up!" Li Yibai turned and glared at Pan Yue. "Yesterday, it was you who kept saying that Li Wentao was a ghost, which caused us to vote for the wrong person. Today, you're still clinging to Lin Qi. Actually, you're the ghost! You're just trying to divert our attention to someone else."

Pan Yue immediately retorted, "Everyone saw it just now..."

But before Pan Yue could finish speaking, Gu Mian heard a familiar voice coming from the other end of the corridor: "What are you talking about..."

Gu Mian turned her head and saw that Yuan Qinghua had appeared behind them at some point.

Upon seeing the Yuan blue and white porcelain, Guo Jimei was startled and immediately hid behind Coco.

Coco, holding Guo Jimei's hand, asked Yuan Qinghua with some curiosity, "When did you arrive?"

Yuan Qinghua looked somewhat confused. She stepped out of the darkness, flashlight in hand: "Just now, when Lin Qi turned and ran back, why did she run?"

"Oh, right!" Li Yibai suddenly spoke up, without answering Yuan Qinghua's question, "Don't ghosts impersonate others? Lin Qi just now might have been a ghost in disguise. Let's not fall for it!"

Pan Yue glared at Li Yibai: "So you only allow others to be ghosts, but not you, Lin Qi, are?"

"Lin Qi could never be a ghost!" Li Yibai retorted.

Pan Yue laughed angrily: "Fine, so you're saying that Lin Qi was a ghost in disguise? We were all here just now, plus Yuan Qinghua, so Lin Qi definitely wasn't one of the seven of us in disguise. If that's the case, then everyone alive except Zhang Pingfan is here. So you mean Zhang Pingfan is a ghost?"

Gu Mian watched as the two almost came to blows.

He remembered that Pan Yue and Zhang Pingfan had a good relationship.

“Zhang Pingfan is so suspicious, he must be a ghost!” Li Yibai said with certainty.

Pan Yue raised her voice: "Then let me tell you, the classroom lost power the night we were assigned our identities, and Zhang Pingfan ran away in a panic without even taking his identity slip! He had no idea what his identity was!"

Gu Mian remembered that Pan Yue had mentioned this before.

"Well..." Li Yibai seemed to want to say something more, but his expression already showed some guilt.

But then another voice interrupted her: "I think Lin Qi just now might have been Yuan Qinghua in disguise. Her sudden appearance behind us could very well have been after she finished impersonating Lin Qi!"

Gu Mian could easily guess who would say something like that.

Following the sound, they saw Guo Jimei hiding behind Coco.

At this moment, Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "I saw it. Yuan Qinghua was standing behind us when Lin Qi appeared." Upon hearing this, Guo Jimei shut her mouth.

For some reason, Guo Jimei was very certain about the identity of Yuan Qinghua, like a prophet, the kind who was not afraid of death.

Yuan Qinghua still seemed confused: "What do you mean Lin Qi is an imposter? Why do you say Lin Qi is a ghost in disguise?"

She walked towards them with a strange expression on her face, and Guo Jimei shrank back in fright.

Without having to walk many steps, Yuan Qinghua arrived at the classroom door and looked inside.

Gu Mian received another scream from a woman.

Coco immediately covered Yuan Qinghua's mouth to prevent her voice from attracting more attention.

"What happened!" Yuan Qinghua's eyes widened, filled with fear. "The Yue maiden is dead... Why were there two Yue maidens? Two people died tonight?"

Pan Yue immediately spoke up: "I have a video that Yue Nu sent me. The person in the video is Lin Qi Sha's person, but Li Yi Bai is still biased towards her!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Qinghua looked at the phone in Pan Yue's hand with some fear, seemingly wanting to see the video.

Li Yibai rolled his eyes at Pan Yue, then lowered his head without saying a word, seemingly lost in thought.

While Yuan Qinghua was watching the video, Coco spoke softly: "Although I don't know why there are two Yue women, the second Yue woman should also have been killed by a ghost, right? The dark figure in the video is clearly a ghost..."

If you look at it that way, the second Yue woman was killed by the ghost around 12:30 AM. At that time, Gu Mian, Li Yibai, Guo Jimei, and I were all together, so we definitely couldn't have killed anyone. Therefore, please don't vote for the four of us tonight.

Guo Jimei nodded hurriedly: "The ghost must be among Yuan Qinghua, Chu Meiren, Lin Qi, and Zhang Pingfan!"

At this moment, Gu Mian looked down at Pan Yue's phone screen.

At 12:50, Pan Yue received the video.

The second Yue woman died at around 12:30.

This indicates that the video was released after the woman's death!
Furthermore, the Yue woman's corpse seemed to be holding something in her hands, but it appeared to be empty.

Someone definitely entered this classroom after Yue Nu died, sent the video to Pan Yue, and also took the phone with them.

Of course, it's also possible that the video was posted by the ghost who killed the second Yue woman.

But what is the purpose of doing this?
Gu Mian found this matter very strange.

If the video was posted by a ghost, then it completely exposed its accomplices.

If the video was posted by an ordinary citizen, then this person's actions were unnecessary. They could have simply pointed to the woman's phone to identify her; there was no need to go through such a roundabout process.

At this moment, Coco suddenly spoke up: "It's almost 3 a.m. now, and the second round of voting is about to begin. Have you decided who to vote for?"

Pan Yue stared intently at Li Yibai: "I'll definitely vote for Lin Qi!"

Li Yibai lowered his head and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Yuan Qinghua had already watched the video. Her face was filled with horror as she looked into the room: "Yue Nu was stabbed by Lin Qi several times and was still struggling. That must have hurt so much. We... we can't side with her just because we have a good relationship with Lin Qi. She's killing someone! And didn't she run away when she saw us? She must be feeling guilty."
