Global Collapse

Chapter 494 Gu Bengbeng, the Cat-like Boy

To the audience's utter surprise, Gu Mian appeared in someone else's camera lens after kicking over her own.

The moment they saw Gu Mian clearly, they instinctively assumed that this guest had been brought back by the production team.

But after seeing Gu Mian punch someone in the chin, dislocating the jaw of the person by the window, the audience realized that this person might have run back on their own.

Did you come back just to dislocate someone's jaw?
Gu Mian hadn't intended to do anything, but these men reached out to him as soon as they saw him. If they added the line "Come play with this old man," they would look exactly like a few villains who would abduct innocent women.

Gu Mian certainly couldn't be taken away by force, so he immediately raised his righteous fist.

The villagers can only bully the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Of course, they can't beat someone like Gu Mian, who has been experiencing extreme sports since birth. In no time, several people were knocked to the ground.

Gu Mian kicked the people on the ground with disgust, clearing a space for them to stand. Then she leaned against the window and looked inside, only to see someone with a look of utter disbelief, "I've seen a ghost."

He turned his neck and looked around a few more times, but couldn't find Chu Changge. Instead, he saw several cameramen in the corner of the room.

At this moment, their expressions were similar to those of the person accompanying me in the coming year—as if they had seen a ghost.

"Ah," Gu Mian said in surprise, "I didn't see you guys just now."

He immediately jumped in through the window, using both his hands and feet, and kicked over their cameras one by one.

Several photographers tried to overwhelm Gu Mian with sheer numbers, but after a huge chainsaw was brandished, everyone fell silent, and the night became quiet, with only occasional screams breaking the silence.

After quickly dealing with the group of photographers, Gu Mian looked at Lai Nian, who had a strange expression: "Where are the other two?"

Next year, glancing at the photographers lying neatly on the ground, he quickly replied, "They didn't come back today."

Gu Mian remembered that Chu Changge had taken on the job of cleaning. This dilapidated village was not small, and cleaning it would definitely be a challenge.

Considering Su Xiaochai's experience, perhaps Chu Changge is currently being forced to clean the latrine?

“But speaking of which,” Gu Mian took a step back, distancing herself from Lai Nian, “why do you smell so bad?”

On this day next year, she wandered around in a stinking ditch without changing her clothes. The production team just wanted to make a fool of them, so they wouldn't let her change into clean clothes.

She looked at Gu Mian with a hint of envy: "You ran away before you even had a chance to suffer, so of course you don't know what happened to us..."

It wasn't that she was unaware of everyone's experiences; at the very least, Gu Mian remembered Su Xiaochai's "curry rice bowl" quite clearly.

"I'm not going to waste my time talking to you, I'm going to find someone. Bye-bye." Gu Mian said, turning around and walking towards the door. The photographer had just taken a picture of him, and the production crew would probably be coming to arrest him with a large group of people soon.

If a whole company of men came, Gu Mian would probably be crushed to death.

At this moment, Lai Nian suddenly spoke up from behind: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out if you run away? Or are you already prepared to commit suicide?"

Gu Mian's eyebrows twitched. "I'd commit suicide? No way! If I committed suicide, I'd really die."

Unaware of the rule that previous winners would be left in this instance, Gu Mian quickly walked to the door and explained to her: "According to reliable sources, this instance will leave the winner of each period in this world, and even suicide won't save them."

He had already opened the door, and the night breeze gently blew into the room from outside, causing the thatched roof to rustle as it swayed.

She opened her eyes wide in the dim night: "How is this possible!" She had previously had unwavering faith in the game mechanics. The game rules clearly stated that death in a dungeon was unrelated to reality! Nor did they say that a dungeon would hold a player! At least the dungeons she had experienced strictly adhered to these two rules.

Upon hearing Gu Mian's words, the last glimmer of hope in Lai Nian's heart dimmed somewhat.

Gu Mian stepped one foot out the door: "Whether you believe it or not, we've experienced a dungeon that devoured players and another one that disabled the death protection mechanism. We were really unlucky."

The following year, the night wind chilled her to the bone. Although her words were unbelievable, she subconsciously felt that the person was not lying to her.

This bizarre global game has been hiding secrets from the very beginning, and she has a feeling that these secrets will soon be discovered by more players.

If more and more instances remove their protection mechanisms, then the instances...

Will it turn into a feast of death?
Considering the terrifyingly high mortality rate of the dungeon, I feel a chill for the coming year.

Just as Gu Mian took a few steps out the door, Lai Nian's voice came from behind, sounding somewhat hesitant: "Aren't you afraid of being left in this world forever?"

Gu Mian turned around and met her suspicious gaze.

I don't believe anyone will willingly stay in this malicious world next year.

She watched as the person who had already walked out the door stopped and seemed to be thinking about something. After a few seconds, he asked seriously, "Why are you afraid?"

His tone was genuinely serious, without a trace of pretense.

Of course, I'm afraid of what might happen to me in the next second! I'm afraid of what disgusting ideas those malicious people might come up with!

Next year, a sharp twitch appeared on his lips as he felt deeply unfortunate to have such a slow-witted teammate. Could there really be people in the world so oblivious? Did they escape from a mental hospital?
This person would probably ask their teammates, "Why did you run away?" if they saw a ghost in a normal dungeon.

“Forget it, you should run,” Lai Nian suddenly stood up. “Damn it, I’m running too. Let’s split up.”

As she spoke, she picked out a longer piece from the remaining rags and stuffed it into her pocket: "I need to find a place to hang myself when it's quiet at night. Good luck to you."

In the end, the two went their separate ways.

Gu Mian did not stop his cheap teammate from finding a place to die. When he saw Banwo Lai Nian off, he asked Chu Changge where he was now and learned that he was being crushed by a box of rats.

"Rat torture involves placing rats in a box that is open at one end, placing the open end over a person's abdomen, and then heating the box from above. To escape the high temperature, the rats will keep digging downwards, making holes in the person's body and crawling inside. Most people are still alive when the rats crawl in and can feel in detail how the rats move through their intestines," Chu Changge explained while looking at the rats in the transparent glass box on his body.

A few children nearby were starting a fire with dry branches: "This person is so dense, will he cry out in pain later?"

"If he screams loudly, just let him go. He won't die from digging for a little while anyway. Let's see how pitiful he is."

Several photographers were around, holding video cameras, their lenses mostly focused on the rats inside the transparent box.

Gu Mian looked at the cheating group and gasped: "That sounds pretty scary. Don't be afraid, I'll go eat those rats later."

Ugh, why is your "Love Encouragement Coach" activity written so perfunctorily?

It should say, "Wishing the most beautiful girl in the universe finds three hundred perfect partners, one every day, experiencing the fresh feeling of first love every time!" Waaaaah, why aren't there men chasing me lining up from here all the way to France? I don't believe it! Line up, line up like crazy!

Thank you so much for the generous gift from "A Yangmei Exhaling" (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
