Global Collapse

Chapter 510 Revolver Shot in the Head

When Gu Mian infiltrated Lianhua University, Xiao Qiao had already woken up.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was a classic chandelier hanging overhead; that thing could kill someone if it fell on her.

Looking to the side, there was a wooden wardrobe, which was wide open. On the bottom shelf, there were many red dresses, which had obviously been rummaged through and were quite messy.

Looking along the wall, there is an open door, and you can clearly see the living room from the bed.

There was no power card inserted, and the room was dimly lit, but there was a photo album on the bedside table. Xiao Qiao picked it up and flipped through it, and saw a child who looked somewhat similar to Gu Mian.

She realized that she was now at Gu Mian's house.

Lai Nian woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was 2:30 a.m.

With a slightly stiff expression, Lai Qing tiptoed out of the house and into the corridor. The weather in June was neither cold nor hot; the temperature at night was slightly biting, but bearable.

A gust of wind rushed into the corridor through the wide-open window, ruffling her hair. The moon was lovely tonight, and the pale light on the ground made the empty corridor seem especially serene.

She leaned against the wide-open window and looked out at the chaotic street, piled high with vehicles, turning the once peaceful road into a car recycling plant.

Moonlight also bathed the abandoned streets, adding a touch of tranquility.

Just as he was staring blankly out the window, he suddenly heard footsteps.

She straightened up, discerned the direction of the sound, and then looked towards the stairs. Someone was coming downstairs.

Sure enough, within a few seconds, she saw Xiao Qiao's figure. Although she had changed her clothes, she could still recognize her.

Xiao Qiao didn't seem to notice her and went straight down from the fourth floor.

Next year, out of curiosity, I took a few steps forward, thought for a couple of seconds, and then followed.

Xiao Qiao went straight to Liu Ruyan's room. From afar, she saw the star knocking on Liu Ruyan's door. But after knocking for a while, no one opened the door. Then, as if she was getting impatient, she clenched her fingers, which were originally bent and knocking on the door, and started pounding on the door.

The dull "thump-thump" sound echoed through the night. I remember the first time I entered a dungeon and hid in a room, the ghosts outside knocked on the door in the same way.

She was terrified when she was hit.

As if finally woken up by the noise, Liu Ruyan's door suddenly opened.

Looking at the landlady standing inside the door from afar, I noticed that she didn't look well; she looked pale and weak, as if she had just woken up.

When Xiao Qiao saw Liu Ruyan open the door, she jumped onto her without saying a word.

"What are you doing?" Liu Ruyan asked in surprise, seemingly not expecting Xiao Qiao to make such a move.

Xiao Qiao wrapped her arm around Liu Ruyan's neck like a monkey, a rather comical gesture. She raised her face and stared at Liu Ruyan's chin for a long time before finally uttering a few words in a serious tone: "Something's not right."

After saying that, she withdrew her hand and looked somewhat normal.

Before Lai Nian could even process what she meant, Xiao Qiao turned and walked towards the stairs. Lai Nian immediately turned around guiltily and ran up the stairs in a flash.

At this moment, Gu Mian and the others had arrived next to the statue of Lianhua University. The huge trophy had not collapsed in the earthquake, but a lot of the ground around it had collapsed. Fatty was worried that he might fall down if he walked on the ground.

The underground entrance has collapsed, leaving not even a crack.

Unless an excavator is brought in now, it's impossible to clear the passage.

“That’s true,” the fat man muttered to himself, looking at the completely blocked entrance. “Doctor, the stairs collapsed when we rushed out in the hearse. It would be a miracle if the entrance hadn’t collapsed with such a commotion.”

Even if the entrance is still there, Gu Mian can't go down again; it might collapse as soon as he goes in.

"Besides the underground area, the cafeteria here is also different from before. I think it's probably a fusion of a school cafeteria from a two-dimensional world."

Judging from the school badge Gu Mian received, the school affiliated with Lianhua University is called "Songcheng College".

Gu Mian glanced at Chu Changge behind her: "Was the place you were born in the school's underground?"

Chu Changge shook his head slightly: "No, it's underground in a plain."

So it seems this is where the failed experiments are disposed of. Now those experiments that failed in the secondary world have been transported to reality from the lower-dimensional world.

“This event might just be an experiment,” Gu Mian stared at the crack beneath her feet. “The second world has eroded a part of reality, but it didn’t take the opportunity to send high-level NPCs to the real world. It’s likely that the second world wasn’t sure whether this erosion would be successful before the event started.”

At this moment, the fat man leaned over and said, "It's also possible that they didn't intend to erode reality at first, but Doctor, you caused an earthquake halfway through the event, which led to a bug."

"Shut up." Gu Mian slapped the fat man's head back, then walked towards the cafeteria.

“But I have a question,” Gu Mian frowned, “Since it was so difficult for you, Chu Changge, to smuggle yourself from a low-dimensional world to a high-dimensional world, and only one person could escape from a world, then why were those ticket sellers able to come to reality so easily?” The ticket sellers all came from low-dimensional worlds, and they came in groups.

This does not conform to the law of the difficulty of smuggling as stated by Chu Changge.

Before Chu Changge could speak, Mr. Green interrupted, "It's quite simple. To give you an analogy, your real world and our low-dimensional world are like two countries with bad relations. You're always on high alert, afraid that a spy might infiltrate. Chu Changge and his group are spies who managed to infiltrate your world."
"But now the relationship between the two countries has changed..."

The fat man poked his head out again: "Relations have improved? People from both countries are engaging in friendly exchanges with each other."

“Well, Gil!” Mr. Green immediately retorted loudly, “It was your country that built an anti-aircraft gun, creating a gap in our border, and then your people kept pouring into our side through that gap…”

The imagery is vivid; it describes Earth launching a global game, with players constantly pouring into lower-dimensional worlds.

"Since the fighting has already started, we have no choice but to build more outposts and send more guards to defend the gaps. The outposts are like ticket booths, and the guards are like ticket sellers. But these guards can't move freely like spies; they are greatly restricted. Do you understand now?"

"What about the supermarket?" Gu Mian asked. "The sales clerks in the supermarket should also be NPCs in your lower-dimensional world."

“The supermarket was built by the Earth, and the sales clerks are prisoners captured by the Earth.” Mr. Green sighed, seemingly saddened by the plight of these prisoners.

In summary, Earth suddenly launched a global game to open a portal to a lower-dimensional world for some unknown reason. The lower-dimensional world then established a foothold at the portal, and the rules of the global game were jointly formulated by both sides, with each side mutually constraining the other.

Historian Wang Xianzhi spoke up again: "I know from studying history that there must be a trigger for a fight between two countries, so why is Earth taking the initiative to attack the lower-dimensional world this time?"

As they spoke, the group arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria.

The road was full of cracks, and there was hardly a good spot to be found. The canteen in front of him had also been affected by the collapse and a section of it had sunk. Gu Mian had no doubt that the building would collapse immediately if she walked in.

While answering the fat man's question, Mr. Green secretly rolled his eyes at Gu Mian: "You'll have to ask your all-powerful doctor about that..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Mian grabbed him.

Mr. Green's voice caught in his throat, and his hat tilted to one side in a panic: "I just got sand in my eyes!"

Although I can't go in, we have the all-powerful GreenGreen brand drones!
As Gu Mian thought about it, she pushed Mr. Green forward and then shoved the fat man's [Strange Camera] into Mr. Green's hand: "You're an NPC, aren't you afraid of dying? Go in and take a few pictures for us."

He suddenly stopped talking at this point.

Just when the fat man thought that he had a change of heart and could no longer oppress Mr. Green, Gu Mian spoke up: "Take more pictures of the third floor, take pictures of all those windows, and don't come out until you have taken a hundred pictures."

As he spoke, he gave Mr. Green a hard shove, and the man who dared to roll his eyes was pushed into the dark door of the cafeteria.

Several seconds passed before the host realized what was happening, and the fat man heard a barely audible curse coming from inside.

In the end, Mr. Green obediently went upstairs.

As the fat man heard his footsteps fading into the distance, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doctor, why did you have him take pictures of the third floor of the cafeteria?"

Gu Mian looked up at the dark window on the third floor: "I came to the third floor of the cafeteria during the event. At that time, the entire floor of shops was different from before. Now that the event is over, if the cafeteria shops haven't changed back, it means that part of this school has been completely invaded by the second world."

This indicates that the lower-dimensional world has already begun to possess the ability to erode reality.

This also shows that Earth has lost its advantage in this dimensional battle.

The fat man nodded as if he understood, then pondered and asked, "Doctor, you heard it too, right? Why did Mr. Green imply that you were the trigger?"

"How would I know?" Gu Mian was quite honest. "Perhaps my long-lost parents would know why."

Since Gu Mian had memories, he has been constantly encountering accidents arranged by Earth. He reasonably suspects that Earth discovered it could not kill him, so it angrily provoked a war against the lower-dimensional world.

Moreover, according to Chu Changge, these people were all outstanding individuals selected from the lower-dimensional world to come to reality to protect Gu Mian.

In this case……

Gu Mian withdrew her gaze from the third floor: "Could I be a living bomb dropped onto Earth by a lower-dimensional world?"

A lower-dimensional world drops a bomb on Earth, happily awaiting its explosion.

Unexpectedly, Earth angrily initiated a global game, and Gu Mian was thus pushed around; it was like being shot in the head with a revolver, whoever landed the bullet was doomed.

Mr. Green returned quickly, apparently also afraid that the precarious building would bury him.

“Here you go,” he said reluctantly, shoving the camera into Gu Mian’s hands. “I’ve taken all the photos.”

Gu Mian looked down at the camera screen, and sure enough, the third floor was still the same as during the event, and had not returned to its previous state.

It seems that Earth has already lost out in this game.

Look, this is a super ...
