Global Collapse

Chapter 449 Gu Bengbeng's Murder for Money

Gu Mian disguised himself specially today, ensuring that even if his own parents came back to life, they might not be able to recognize him.

But seeing Wo Yu Qitian's neck stretched out as long as a giraffe's, Gu Mian knew that he had probably recognized her.

It's clear that the guy he tricked has feelings for him that surpass those for his parents.

Of course, Qi Tian might have noticed Gu Mian only after recognizing the fat man and Chu Changge.

But now is not the time to worry about who gets recognized first. The fat man quietly moved closer to Gu Mian and said, "Doctor, I think his gaze is quite sinister. He's obviously up to no good."

“I think so too,” Gu Mian pushed up her black-rimmed glasses. “After all, I tricked him pretty badly last time.”

The fat man immediately spoke up: "But he was the one who plotted against us first."

Gu Mian then looked in the direction of my desire to reach the heavens.

There were only three people on his boat besides the old man rowing it, so it seemed he had failed to pass two of the challenges.

At this moment, he was about three or four hundred meters away from Gu Mian. When he saw Gu Mian looking at him so brazenly, Qi Tian's eyes glazed over for a moment and he slightly looked away.

The fat man also noticed Qi Tian's expression. He whispered, "He probably thought you were afraid of being recognized, so you didn't dare to look at him. But you glared at him so suddenly, and he turned his head away in fright."

"I didn't glare at them," Gu Mian retorted.

Although Qi Tian turned his head away, he still glanced over with shifty eyes, talking to the other two people on his boat. This time, the other two people on his boat also glanced over with shifty eyes.

Gu Mian was actually quite worried that Qi Tian would suddenly stand up and shout, "Gu Mian is over there!"

Last time, he met Qi Tian in the dungeon. The others didn't know that Gu Mian would actually die in the dungeon, so even if they encountered Gu Mian, they wouldn't take action in the dungeon. Qi Tian just wanted to find out Gu Mian's location in the real world last time.

As luck would have it, he ran into it.

He must be overjoyed right now, and is probably thinking about how to get those tens of thousands of game coins.

The fat man also realized Gu Mian's worries. Just as he was nervously thinking about how to deal with it, he suddenly saw Gu Mian leaning out of the water thoughtfully: "Xiao Hong, go and capsize that boat for me."

The fat man choked, suppressing all the schemes and plots that had been swirling in his mind.

Xiao Hong, who had been assigned the task, popped her head out of the water, looking quite unwilling. It was as if Gu Mian was a brothel madam forcing women into prostitution, while she was a beautiful, virtuous woman who remained pure and untainted by the mud.

If this were a fantasy film being shot right now, and a highly skilled monk came to exorcise a ghost, Xiao Hong might even shout something like, "My love and I are mutually in love, I never hurt anyone!"

As for who she was in love with, let's leave that aside for now.

Just as Gu Mian was lost in thought, the noble and virtuous Xiao Hong was already slowly swimming towards the ship under Gu Mian's pressure.

Just as Gu Mian had guessed, Qi Tian was overjoyed and was quietly describing Gu Mian's appearance to his two teammates on the ship.

His two teammates were nicknamed "Super Horse Hunter" and "Mischievous Demon King Yang Lekai."

"Look over there, that boat without a boatman..." Qi Tian looked down slightly in Gu Mian's direction, and saw Gu Mian sticking her head out as if staring at the water at the stern of the boat and saying something. Immediately afterward, ripples appeared on the stern of the boat, but then quickly subsided. Qi Tian didn't pay attention and continued to speak in a low voice to his two teammates: "That one with black-rimmed glasses and a scarf is Gu Mian."

The horse hunter and Yang Lekai also secretly glanced in that direction several times. Yang Lekai spoke first: "Is it the one on the wanted list?"

Qi Tian nodded: "I was tricked by him in the dungeon last time, so I've been holding a grudge against him. Next to him is the fat guy surnamed Wang who often teams up with him, and Chu Changge. If you don't believe me, we'll take a closer look later."

The horse hunter glanced over there a few times: "Killing him would be worth tens of thousands. You won't really die if you die in a dungeon, but now that we're in an event, isn't this the perfect opportunity?"

Qi Tian nodded: "But let's not make a fuss about it yet. Not many people know Gu Mian. If we make a fuss, he might get killed first, and we might not get any benefit at all... But he has already spotted me."

"He's found you?" The horse hunter frowned. "Then we're in a difficult position. He might kill us first to silence us."

"Don't worry, there are so many people here, he definitely won't dare to reveal his identity. If he tries to attack us, I'll immediately shout out his identity, and he'll probably guess that I'll do that and won't dare to attack us," Qi Tian relaxed his brows. "As long as I have something on him, I can threaten him."

Even if they ultimately fail to kill Gu Mian, Qi Tian can still raise his voice to expose Gu Mian's identity and use other players to kill her.

Qi Tian and Gu Mian got into a tangled mess in the dungeon. Even if he didn't get any rewards, he was still quite pleased to have tricked Gu Mian.

Just as the three of them were overjoyed and discussing how to use this as leverage to threaten Gu Mian, they suddenly heard a "bang," as if something had hit the boat.

The three turned to look and saw a hand with fair skin and slender fingers emerge from the water and grip the gunwale tightly.

That's clearly a beautiful woman's hand. If it hadn't been coming out of the water, the three of them might have been even happier.

Before the three of them could react, they saw that the slender hand seemed to exert some force, and then their boat suddenly lost its balance and was pressed to one side by the hand.

The three people on the boat immediately leaned to one side. In the distance, Qi Tian seemed to catch a glimpse of Gu Mian's smug smile on the boat, and even heard a "hehehe" sound.

Before he could even understand what was happening, the entire boat capsized, trapping everyone on board underwater.

The fat man stared at the capsized ship in the distance and swallowed hard. "Doctor," he said, "theoretically speaking, villains don't die that easily. For the sake of the plot, they have to come out and cause trouble every now and then, only to get slapped in the face. It would be satisfying if they were killed off all at once, but after that, the satisfaction would be gone..."

“Speak like a human being,” Gu Mian interrupted the fat man.

The fat man swallowed again: "I don't think he'll die so easily."

Sure enough, Qi Tian struggled and splashed up, apparently he could swim.

He seemed to understand what was going on now. He struggled to look this way, his mouth agape as if he wanted to call out Gu Mian's name: "Gulp..."

But before he could finish uttering a single syllable, a hand suddenly reached out from the water and covered his mouth.

Then Qi Tian was pulled downwards with great force until even the bubbles stopped rising.

Gu Mian stared at the crime scene: "Yes, they're all dead."
