Global Collapse

Chapter 475 The Miracle Collapses
Just as the fat man was feeling a chill run down his spine from listening to this...

Gu Mian suddenly stroked her chin and said, "Let me give you an example. It's impossible for the protagonist in my novel to suddenly jump out and kill me. Similarly, the difference between a lower-dimensional world and a higher-dimensional world is huge. Logically speaking, it's impossible for a lower-dimensional world to invade a higher-dimensional world. The probability of such an event is about the same as the protagonist killing me."

“If you are in an absolutely higher dimension, then these words are fine, but we don’t know if the so-called ‘real world’ is also a lower-dimensional world,” Liu Ruyan raised her head slightly. “If it is not in an absolutely higher dimension, then anything is possible.”

“Absolutely higher dimension,” the fat man exclaimed in realization, “That must be… a god.”

"By the way," Liu Ruyan continued, "the reason Earth fears us is because it can't find the exact location of our world, just like the Second World is a book, but Earth doesn't know where that book is."

As she spoke, she glanced at Chu Changge on the sofa, and Chu Changge reached out and put down his world.

“To be honest,” Liu Ruyan said, looking at the withered leaves Chu Changge had placed on the coffee table, “if my world were in my hands, it would have turned to ashes long ago.”

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "It seems you harbor deep resentment towards your world."

The fat man nodded and said, "That's like an Earthling saying they want to blow up the Earth—it's incredibly disrespectful..."

At this point, the fat man suddenly remembered that Gu Mian had made a similar remark about "blowing up the earth," so he abruptly shut his mouth. After a long while, he coughed a few times and said to Liu Ruyan, "You might get dragged off to participate in a reality show like 'Transformation'!"

[Triggering the special instance 'Metamorphosis']

"What the hell!" The fat man's eyes widened.

Gu Mian silently put down the strawberry jam in her hand: "What else could it be? A special instance, giving you a chance to participate in Metamorphosis; by the way, your expression is similar to the first time you saw a special instance."

"Ugh," the fat man said with a bitter face, "Does this mean I have to go to some godforsaken place to reclaim wasteland? I've seen on those variety shows that people like me are sent to the mountains to be reshaped..."

[Trigger condition: Mentioning 'Metamorphosis' has a chance to match you with this instance]

The trigger condition is a bit tricky...

[Number of players in the instance: All players within a certain area]

[Player count successfully calculated; current number of players is 9]

It seems that all nine people in this building are included.

Gu Mian quickly slapped her brother into the CD and stuffed it into her pocket, then picked up the guitar bag next to her.

Xiao Hong's upper body was still under the bed, seemingly completely unaware of what was happening outside.

[Introduction: Players will participate in the variety show 'Metamorphosis' together. Once filming is complete, they can leave the instance.]

[Instance Mission: Complete the filming of 'Metamorphosis']

As the last line of text was being typed on the panel, Gu Mian slammed the door shut with a "bang," the door panel almost hitting Liu Ruyan's nose outside.

"Remember to close the door when you go out," Gu Mian said, "otherwise, what if Xiao Hong gets stolen by a thief?"

The fat man shrank his neck: "She looks like a villain to me..."

Hearing the noise, Xiao Hong scrambled out from under the bed, only to find the room empty.

Her face, which resembled that of a villain, was somewhat blank.

"In the dead of night, he's a nightclub sprite."

"By day, he was the demon his parents feared..."

In the blink of an eye, Gu Mian heard these two sentences in her ear. When she saw the words "Transformation", Gu Mian was mentally prepared. She did not expect that this dungeon would even copy other people's lines. They did not pay the copyright fee for the collaboration.

He turned his head and saw that he was sitting in a room the size of an office, with the air conditioning set to 23 degrees Celsius, which was a bit cold.

Gu Mian looked out the window and saw a tree outside. When the wind blew, the yellow leaves on the tree fell down uncontrollably.

There were no other players besides him.

A group of people were gathered at the entrance. It was a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap and glasses who uttered the lines from the "club sprite" earlier: "Sad parents, rebellious son..."

"..."

"...After all this, can he turn over a new leaf and be reborn from the ashes?"

"Did you hear that? This is how the copy for this promotional campaign will be written..." Gu Mian heard the middle-aged man continuing to speak.

Gu Mian then realized that the text was used to describe him.

But the term "nightclub elf" is just too suggestive.

I must say, Gu Mian really does look like a nightclub sprite with that guitar bag on her back.

But where did everyone else go...?

"Director, the other guests have already been contacted. The ones from the mountains have booked their flights and will arrive this afternoon. Shouldn't we hurry up too?"

Gu Mian noticed a list on the opposite table and reached out to pick up the A4 paper and glanced at it.

I saw——

"Gu Mian: At night, he's a nightclub enthusiast; by day, he's... Can he turn over a new leaf and be reborn from the ashes?"

"Wang Longxiang: Without parents, he has never felt the warmth of home. Dilapidated thatched house, remote mountain gully... After all this, can he let go of his resentment, regain his confidence, and be positive again?"

"Chu Meiren: He is a problem student who gives teachers a headache at school. He is late, skips classes, and has a crush on someone. He is incorrigible despite repeated attempts to correct his behavior. After participating in this transformation program, will he be able to understand the teachers' good intentions?"

"Xie Bi'an: In public, he is a kind and gentle class heartthrob; in private, he is a petty and treacherous villain... Can he repent and start anew?"

Liu Ruyan: She…

Providing a detailed explanation later would inevitably seem like padding, so Gu Mian only glanced at it and found that only his own sentence was plagiarized.

The fat guy wore Wang Longxiang's school badge, so he was simply called Wang Longxiang.

It's worth mentioning that Gu Mian was wearing Liu Xuan's school badge, but it was completely useless.

There are nine people on this list, which means there are nine players.

Based on the character introductions, Gu Mian guessed that he, Chu Changge, Lai Nian, and Xie Bi'an were experiencing life by traveling from the city to the mountains.

Fatty, Su Xiaochai, Xingluo, Yousi, and Liu Ruyan are experiencing life in the city after moving from mountain villages.

He hasn't detected any danger yet.

The dungeon description didn't mention where ghosts would appear, nor did it say whether there were ghosts hiding in the filming crew. Gu Mian thought to herself as she looked at the filming crew gathered at the entrance.

After thinking about it carefully, he concluded that beating up the director and cameraman on this show would be a perfectly normal thing to do... right?

Gu Mian raised her fist as she thought about it.

Then he suddenly discovered that the college entrance exam cheating group had new information: he couldn't chat with friends in the game, but the group chat was still working normally.

The fat man was crying and complaining at that moment.

[A-Pang]: Doctor, where are you? I'm in a remote mountain valley, and a group of people are trying to take me away...

[Apang]: I'm so scared, are there ghosts among these people?

Gu Mian thought for a while and sent a message: "I'll teach you a way. Try hitting them. If they don't cry out in pain, they're not human."
