Global Collapse

Chapter 548 The Manuscript Editor Died

"Yu Ji committed suicide and is dead..." Huai Xin Zhen Yue looked at this newly pushed news with trepidation.

It's already noon, and the ghost has been moving for several hours now.

Just a moment ago, Huai Xin Zhen Yue was secretly relieved that the ghost hadn't made a sound for the past few hours, thinking that as long as he could get through another afternoon, he could leave the instance smoothly.

Unexpectedly, I turned around and saw a news report about a player's death.

After seeing the news, he cautiously looked around. It was a dark warehouse. He had finally found this almost collapsed abandoned warehouse. It was surrounded by weeds, and it was clear that no one had been here for a long time.

Besides him, there were only a few rats scurrying around in the warehouse.

"This place is so well hidden... hopefully ghosts won't find it, right?"

Meanwhile, Chu Changge, who had not yet met up with Gu Mian, was still in that one-bedroom apartment.

He was in this spot when he first entered the instance, he left after entering, but returned after 8 PM.

The plush toys in the toilet had disappeared by then, indicating that they had set off for Chu Changge.

But it didn't expect Chu Changge to return here.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Chu Changge has been here for a long time, while the doll is still searching for him outside with all its might.

He was holding a map and looking down at it carefully; it was a map of the city he had bought outside before going out.

Chu Changge stood by the window and glanced out every now and then, seemingly comparing directions and positions.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from the dimly lit and cramped room.

From behind him.

Chu Changge put down what she was holding and turned around.

The man, who was completely covered up, stood two meters behind him, staring at him without moving.

Chu Changge stared at him for a long time before finally speaking: "Jiang Yang."

That was Xie Bi'an's former name.

He didn't seem to care which name Chu Changge called him, and just smiled: "I heard that the old human world almost collapsed."

The laughter came from beneath the black cloak, sounding particularly muffled.

Chu Changge didn't answer, but instead said something unrelated: "I haven't seen you much lately."

After those words were spoken, the cramped rented room fell silent, and the two of them remained silent.

If Gu Mian were here right now, she would describe them as a pair of dogs that can't stand each other, staring at each other and wondering where to bite.

After a long silence, Xie Bi'an broke the silence: "You didn't expect me to come back."

Chu Changge held the map in her hand: "We all thought you were dead."

Xie Bi'an laughed again, his voice lighter than before: "I think I have a question for you. In the past, I wouldn't have asked this question, because I knew what your answer would be, but now... Chu Changge, are you afraid of death?"

Gu Mian was unaware that two people were discussing the issue of whether or not one was afraid of death behind his back.

He had already found a place overgrown with weeds to unload his guitar bag.

There wasn't a soul in sight, except for a few dilapidated houses not far away. The guitar case felt lighter than before; it even bounced slightly when placed on the ground.

He poked the outer packaging of the bag; it was soft inside, and his finger poked into it, making a small indentation.

Gu Mian slowly unzipped her bag in front of the public restroom.

The chainsaw that once sat inside has vanished, leaving only charred fuzz eagerly squeezing out from the cracks.

Gu Mian continued to pull down, and immediately, a head with a depressed expression popped out.

He had already stuffed the teddy bear into his bag!
It took him a lot of effort to stuff such a big thing into his bag.

The bear doll's face was half bald, black and charred, and it smelled burnt.

Gu Mian grabbed the depressed head and pulled it out of the guitar case.

Due to improper handling, the bear doll's head and body were stretched out and completely deformed. Gu Mian had to use even more force to pull it completely out of the bag.

The moment the doll was completely pulled out, its whole body bounced up and down, and the expression on its head became even more depressed.

Meanwhile, in a dilapidated building not far away...

Huai Xin Zhen Yue was peering through the door, her mouth agape, staring in shock at Gu Mian, who was pulling at a doll not far away.

He saw Gu Mian open the guitar case and, with an almost abusive method, pull out the teddy bear that terrified them.

"Holy crap!" Huaixin Zhenyue pinched her thigh hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming. "That player... no, is he really a player?!"

He saw Gu Mian as she walked towards him from a distance.

However, considering that the other party might be a ghost in disguise, Huaixin Zhenyue hid in the warehouse and secretly observed him.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed this heinous scene.

They all desperately tried to dodge the person trying to grab their dolls, but unexpectedly, this person simply put the dolls into their backpack!
They kept pulling! They kept tugging! They kept abusing them!
Even though they weren't close, Huai Xin Zhen Yue could feel the melancholy emanating from that plush toy.

Gu Mian, who was clutching the doll, was unaware that someone was watching her from a dilapidated building in the distance.

He finally managed to get into a dungeon where a ghost was right in front of him from the start, so of course he couldn't let this opportunity pass him by.

So Gu Mian conducted a series of experiments in the room and found that the doll was difficult to harm. He then simply stuffed it into his bag, thinking that he would interrogate it when he had a better idea.

He looked at the doll he had thrown on the muddy ground, and saw that it was lying obediently on the ground, as if saying, "I'm really not a ghost."

It can't be burned by fire, and it can't be cut by a saw.

Gu Mian found herself in a dilemma.

He picked up the teddy bear from the ground, twisted its head and neck into a pretzel shape, then let go, and the bear's head began to spin happily.

It was happy as it was, but it didn't utter a single word of complaint for a long time.

Gu Mian turned the doll over and over in frustration, when she suddenly noticed something printed on the bottom of the doll's bottom.

He parted the plush fur around the doll's bottom and saw hidden text: "Made by Toy Goose Factory".

Oh no, my drafts are completely ruined!
