Global Collapse

Chapter 454 He's just a child!

Gu Mian glanced at the fat man: "It seems you still remember the time you almost killed me when we first met."

The fat man swallowed nervously, "He didn't die in the end, did he..."

After selecting the special items and receiving their admission tickets, they were teleported out of the activity area and back to their temporary, dilapidated building. By then, the sun had already set, leaving only a sliver of its afterglow illuminating the earth.

The dragon boat races will continue until midnight, and it's not even 7 p.m. yet.

Gu Mian didn't dwell on the question of whether he was dead or alive. He said, "Chu Changge is very familiar with Lianhua University. He is a student at that school."

The fat man looked at Chu Changge and scratched his chin in confusion: "Doctor, did you two go to the same school?"

“Yes, that was before I went to university.” Gu Mian raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, Chu Changge returned to his room and took out paper and pen: "That's right, I'm a student at that school, so I'm very familiar with it."

As he spoke, he began drawing something on a piece of paper with a black ballpoint pen. Gu Mian glanced at it; it was a school map.

While Chu Changge was drawing the map, the fat man started complaining about tomorrow's event: "It's supposed to be a college entrance exam event, but who takes their college entrance exam between 7 pm and midnight... By the way, Doctor, what do you think the exam will cover?"

Gu Mian walked to the window and looked at the sunset outside: "I don't think it will be a complex function or calculus exam, right? Maybe it will be similar to the hearse scenario."

Even after a long time, Gu Mian still remembered the "Dancing with the Shadows" option she saw in the Hearse instance.

The fat man had already looked through all of their admission tickets and found that their exam locations were all at Lianhua University, but their admission ticket numbers, exam rooms, and seat numbers were all different.

Gu Mian is taking exam in room 208 of building 6, seat number 01.

Chu Changge's exam room is 602 in Building 3, and his seat number is 24.

Liu Ruyan's examination room was the same as Chu Changge's, with seat number 25. The two of them should have been sitting next to each other.

As for Fatty himself, he and Xiao Qiao were both in Building 11.

However, Xiao Qiao was in exam room 701, while Fatty was in exam room 503.

Chu Changge drew the map very quickly. When the clock hand pointed to 7, Chu Changge had roughly drawn a map of Lianhua University.

At this moment, he pointed to the map on the table and said, "Lianhua University has two main gates, the South Gate and the North Gate; there are a total of twelve teaching buildings, numbered 1 to 12; and eight dormitory buildings, also numbered, with buildings 1 to 4 being girls' dormitories and the rest being boys' dormitories."

As he spoke, he pointed to a building in the upper left corner with his pen: "This is your exam room, Gu Mian, Building No. 6. It is also the building in the most remote corner of the northwest, and it is the building closest to the girls' dormitory. If you look closely, you can see the girls' dormitory."

The fat man was slightly taken aback: "Brother Chu, you're very skilled."

Chu Changge moved his hand to the right and pointed to a building on the upper right that was sandwiched between two buildings: "This is Teaching Building No. 11, Fatty and Xiao Qiao's exam room, which is very close to the North Gate."

Then he continued to move the pen in his hand, pointing to the building closest to the south gate in the lower left area: "This is the exam room for Liu Ruyan and me, Building No. 3, the building closest to the south gate." Fatty looked at the map under Chu Changge's hand: "It's really convenient to have Brother Chu here, we're not afraid of going into the wrong exam room."

At this moment, Gu Mian quietly leaned closer and said, "You seem to have missed the point."

The fat man paused for a moment, then stared at the map for a while before asking, "Have we been separated?"

"You finally found out."

And they're located quite far apart.

The exam content and rules for tomorrow's college entrance examination event have not been explained yet, but Gu Mian is confident that there will be teachers on-site to provide a detailed explanation.

There might even be proctors...

But are those teachers real teachers?
"You guys should memorize the map Chu Changge drew first." Gu Mian didn't need to memorize it. He grew up in Lianhua City. When he was in elementary school, his teachers often took him to visit Lianhua University. Of course, they originally had better places to go, but since every time their class went out, something unexpected would happen, the teachers specially chose the seemingly gentle and harmless campus.

Because he lived not far from the school, Gu Mian, who rarely went into the kitchen, often went to the cafeteria of Lianhua University to eat and drink for free. He didn't know why, but every time he went to the cafeteria, a little accident would happen.

The fat man's ever-burning lamp was very useful at night. The sun had already set long ago, and the room was gradually getting dark. With the lamp placed there, there was no need to turn on the electric lights.

Just as the fat man was yawning and memorizing a map in the dim blue light, Gu Mian lifted the blanket and found a doll sleeping soundly inside.

A green baby, about the length of a laptop.

It looks rather terrifying.

The moment Gu Mian saw the baby, her first thought was that Xiao Hong had secretly given birth behind her back.

At this moment, Xiao Hong, unaware that she has already given birth, is taking a beautiful selfie with her phone.

Just as Xiao Hong snapped a selfie, Gu Mian had a second thought: he remembered something—an IOU.

He drew that IOU when he was drawing special items, which made him owe Nine-Headed Infant 10,000 game coins.

However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, the 10,000 game coins have not been successfully returned.

The fat man's lantern had the ability to reveal invisible ghosts, which is why Gu Mian was able to see the Nine-Headed Infant who had been secretly hiding beside her.

As for the issue of owing money, Gu Mian believes there is a good solution.

He happily opened his guitar bag: "Since we can't resolve the debt, we can only resolve the issue of the person who made me owe money."

Just then, the fat man turned around and saw Gu Mian raising a butcher's knife at a little green devil. He turned pale and wanted to shout the truth, "He's just a child," but then he remembered the Nine-Headed Infant and the 10,000 game coins, and his expression changed. Gu Mian interpreted his expression as "Please continue, please continue."
