Global Collapse

Chapter 553 A Pigeon Gu Mian

When Huaixin Zhenyue received Liu Yiji's call, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Fortunately, the ghost never found him, allowing him to spend most of the day unharmed.

While idly pondering the moon, he even began to doubt the difficulty of this dungeon.

Liu Yiji called him when he was bored, and he answered the phone without thinking.

After the call was connected, there was no response from the other end.

For a moment, Huaixin Zhenyue suspected that Liu Yiji had already been killed, and that it was a ghost calling him now.

Just as he was about to hang up, a voice finally came from the other end: "Zhenyue, are you still alive?"

Upon hearing Liu Yiji's voice, Huaixin Zhenyue replied, "Still alive? You're still alive too, right?"

Although it was indeed Liu Yiji's voice, he couldn't be sure if it was a ghost imitating him.

He heard no noise from Liu Yiji's side, as if there was no one around.

“He’s still alive,” Liu Yiji said. “Bai Wu just died.”

Huai Xin Zhen Yue hadn't seen any new death news, and he asked in confusion, "How did you know?"

“She found a way out and came to save me, but then she was taken away by a ghost, and I couldn’t catch up with her.”

"The ghost grabbed her and ran away, and you chased after it?" Huai Xin's head was buzzing, and she felt that the other person might have some problems with their brain.

"This is the way out. Hide and seek is only suitable between one person and one ghost. The person corresponding to you can only catch you, but I can interfere with the ghost that is trying to catch you. You can come here. I'm in Times Square. If the ghost finds you, I can help you interfere with it."

Hearing the other party reveal everything so readily, Huaixin Zhenyue asked suspiciously, "You're just telling me the address without confirming my identity? What if I'm actually a ghost?"

"My ghosts won't bother me anymore, I'm not afraid."

Huai Xin Zhen Yue naturally didn't believe what the other party said.

In his eyes, it was completely like a ghost trying to trick Liu Yiji with his phone.

He then bombarded him with a series of questions, including "What was your high school homeroom teacher's name?", "How many subjects did you fail in your first semester of freshman year?", and "What color is your girlfriend's underwear?"

The other party answered fluently.

Only then did Huai Xin, who was resting her head on the moon, begin to believe it.

He hesitated for a moment. If he went to find Liu Yiji as he had said, there was a risk of being discovered by the ghost on the way. He had been hiding well here, so wouldn't it be a loss if he went out and was caught by the ghost?

But he wouldn't feel at ease if he told Liu Yiji his location. Although Liu Yiji had answered all the questions correctly, Huaixin Zhenyue still had doubts in his heart.

Even if the other party is really Liu Yiji, there is no guarantee that there are no ghosts around him. If he reveals his location and a ghost near Liu Yiji hears him, it would be a loss for him.

After pondering deeply for a while, Huai Xin Zhen Yue finally made up his mind: "My place is very well hidden, and the ghost has never found me, so I won't bother with anything else."

Liu Yiji said with great concern, "Being discovered by a ghost can happen in an instant. I was hiding properly for several hours when a ghost suddenly appeared behind me."

Huai Xin Zhen Yue pursed her lips: "Your place is very far from here. If I were to go there, I would be taking a great risk. Even if I tell you my location, you can't guarantee that there aren't ghosts eavesdropping around you, right?"

That's right, Liu Yiji fell silent.

Huai Xin Zhen Yue continued, "Don't worry, the ghost hasn't found me yet. I'm hiding in a very well-hidden place... Actually, I'm a little suspicious of the difficulty of this dungeon. Is it because this is the first time we've entered a dungeon since the death protection mechanism was turned off, so the difficulty has been reduced?"

too easy.

Huai Xin Zhen Yue was safe and sound for most of the day, which made him feel that this instance was easier than the previous ones.

But Liu Yiji, who had already witnessed the power of ghosts, did not think so. He sighed and said, "Then you should hide well and make sure you don't get caught by the ghosts. The ghosts in this instance are really dangerous."

The person on the other end of the phone agreed.

Unbeknownst to them, in the room where they had spent time together, a teddy bear, bound hand and foot, was hanging outside the window.

The bear's face was facing the downstairs neighbor's window. The neighbor was startled when they looked out the window.

"Who hung this up here..." The man downstairs stared at the teddy bear for a long time, then opened the window and muttered to himself, "Could it have fallen from the dolls drying up upstairs?"

He reached out to untie the knots on the teddy bear, intending to drag it into the house.

But he lost his grip and the giant doll fell.

He immediately peered down, only to find that the teddy bear was nowhere to be seen.

"Strange……"

Meanwhile, Gu Mian was pulling the fortune teller along as they moved quickly between the shelves.

With her other hand, she was still dragging the teddy bear that looked like it was dead.

"Hurry up," Gu Mian said, glancing at the window not far away as she walked forward. The sun was already setting and would be gone soon. "I'll leave the instance as soon as the sun goes down."

The fortune teller is still very puzzled by Gu Mian's appearance: "How did you get in here?!"

She had no idea that Gu Mian was still working on another instance; she just assumed that he had encountered some bug and ended up making a cameo appearance here.

"Alright, hurry up and calculate." Gu Mian didn't answer the other person's question, but pointed to the small wooden stick in her hand.

The fortune teller resignedly raised the wooden stick in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"Go that way," she said, pointing in the direction the stick was pointing.

This is the diviner's extraordinary ability to predict the direction of something.

Gu Mian was using this function to find the NPC's office.

During this time, the fortune teller had thrown the stick many times, but the office was so hard to find that they had to go around in circles.

This was the third time the two had passed through this place.

It looks like they've just gone in a perfect circle again.

The fortune teller, who had used the divination function many times, was exhausted and felt completely drained: "It's definitely on this floor, but I really can't find out exactly where it is."

Her face was pale, clearly from being overworked.

At this moment, Gu Mian was staring at the small wooden stick on the ground, deep in thought.

They've walked around this place three times already; there are no walls nearby, and naturally, no office doors either.

Gu Mian spun around in place and looked up at the ceiling.

The entire ceiling was white, without a single gap.

Then he looked down at the ground.

There were many shelves nearby, which covered part of the ground.

Without hesitation, Gu Mian quickly walked to a nearby shelf and, to the astonishment of the fortune teller, kicked it over.

Like dominoes, one shelf collapsed, crushing another, until a whole row of shelves crumbled before their eyes. The fortune teller exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

The bottom of the shelves that originally covered the ground has been raised, leaving only the bottom edge of the shelves in contact with the ground.

Gu Mian crouched down and looked at the ground that had been covered up before: "Finally found it."

Meanwhile, the anxious driving instructor downstairs finally burst through the door and heard a loud noise coming from the third floor.

Upon hearing the sound, the driving instructor exclaimed, "Oh no, we're doomed!" and ran up the stairs.

The expression and movements are exactly the same as when the player is being chased by a ghost.

A pigeon cooing?
