Global Collapse

Chapter 562 Wishing everyone a Happy New Year

Upon hearing this, Gu Mian considered it seriously for a while before answering a few minutes later: "I have no friends."

Given Gu Mian's luck, it's difficult for anyone who becomes his friend to survive.

After most of his first group of friends died, no one wanted to be friends with him anymore.

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "The number of people I just mentioned, including us, is eight in total. If you bring the CD in, he can barely be counted as the ninth laborer."

As Chu Changge spoke, she glanced at her brother who was standing next to Gu Mian.

“But there’s a problem now,” the fortune teller coughed a few times, “the name of this instance… well, it’s called Princess Mianmian and Her Seven Simp Knights. Could that be related to the number of players entering the instance?”

She analyzed seriously: "If the number of players is really related to the name of the instance, then only seven people can enter?"

As the fortune teller spoke, she secretly glanced at her brother. She realized that this Western-looking man was no longer a player. The gray-haired man had a shiny CD in his pocket, which dazzled her eyes as he moved.

He didn't speak, but he wore a special device around his neck that could make sounds; it was called a "mind-controlled loudspeaker."

Every now and then, a few "little sister" sounds could be heard coming from this special item.

Sometimes he would slip CDs into Gu Mian's pocket and then crawl inside the CDs himself.

In that instant, the diviner felt not only shock but also sudden enlightenment.

She finally knew what the hand that always reached out of Chu Changge's pocket in the Deathly Encounter copy was.

Chu Changge was pondering the fortune teller's words: "If there really is a connection, then with Princess Mianmian, there can be a total of eight people."

When Gu Mian first heard the title "Princess Mianmian," he always felt like she was calling him, so much so that now whenever he hears that title, he reflexively looks at the person speaking.

The fortune teller pondered, "What if Princess Mianmian is an NPC?"

Gu Mian felt that she had made the wrong choice to become a fortune teller.

She would be a master at arguing on a construction site.

Mr. Green interjected at the opportune moment to end the topic: "This name was just something an NPC came up with on a whim. I don't think it has anything to do with the number of people who can enter the dungeon. I've seen a dungeon called 'Ten Thousand Killer' before, but it didn't get ten thousand players in."

"Anyway, let's fill in all the names when we go in, and we'll see if we can get in," Gu Mian said, looking at the fat man. "Do you have 007 as a friend?"

They said they were going to bring 007 into the game, but they still had to tell people in advance.

You can't just suddenly pull someone into the toilet or shower when they're using it.

The fat man started scrolling through his friends list again: "I remember adding you before, let me find it."

He immediately exclaimed happily, "Found it!"

Then, Gu Mian watched as he began to tap: "My dear Miss 007, I wonder what has happened recently..."

Gu Mian turned her head away: "As for Liu Ruyan and Coco, Chu Changge, do you have any friends with them? Talk to them first and ask for their opinions."

Liu Ruyan could notify everyone directly in the group chat, but Coco would have to send a message.

Chu Changge nodded slightly and opened his game panel: "When do you plan to enter that dungeon?"

Considering that Xiao Qiao's big data search will be available again in six days, Gu Mian calculated: "We'll enter the dungeon on August 1st. Anyway, we're going back soon, so we can talk to them about it when we get back."

As Gu Mian spoke, she looked at the fortune teller: "Do you want to come with us? Or do you want to stay here and wait for your two reliable teammates?"

The fortune teller choked on his words: "I'll go with you."

Fatty had already sent a message to 007, but hadn't received a reply yet. He took the opportunity to pick up the cup on the table and pour himself a glass of water. He also chuckled at the fortune teller a few times: "We're not far from the college entrance exam site. It'll be easy for you to find your teammates who went missing during the exam."

At this point, the fat man seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, what are the names of your friends who went to take the college entrance exam?"

The diviner began, "Liu Xuan..."

She didn't notice the room fall silent when she uttered the name. She continued, "Feng Zitao, Wang Longxiang."

"Snapped"

It was the sound of the fat man's water glass falling to the ground.

The fortune teller was startled and looked at the fat man.

He didn't even look at the water glass that had fallen to the ground; instead, he stared straight at himself.

The same goes for others.

Everyone was staring intently at her, giving her a sense of danger.

The fortune teller secretly took a step back, ready to slip away at any moment: "What's wrong with you guys?"

The fat man then came to his senses: "Actually, we've seen them during the college entrance exam activities..."

"Have you seen them before?" The fortune teller was somewhat surprised. But upon reflection, he realized that if he had only seen them, hearing their names shouldn't elicit this reaction.

After a moment's thought, the fortune teller offered the most likely guess: "They won't rob you, will they?"

Is that why Gu Mian and the others reacted this way?

The fat man pursed his lips: "No... the doctor saw them himself, when they could still move..."

When it can still move?
The fortune teller was filled with doubt.

It was already dusk when Gu Mian's hearse returned to her residence.

Then, the following year, I discovered that Gu Mian had brought back another woman.

She stood by the window, watching the strange woman get off the car, carrying something in her hands.

The new woman kept her head down, making it impossible for the newcomer to see her face clearly.

The fortune teller held the three school badges, feeling as if he were dreaming.

Not long ago, these three people were her teammates, but after a while, they were flattened and turned into school badges.

The photo on the school badge is the same as the fortune teller remembers, but he looks a bit younger.

She turned her head every now and then, recalling what Gu Mian had said to her on the way.

Gu Mian said that when he met these three people, they were already ghosts, and they were all wearing school badges. Later, Gu Mian eliminated the evil and took the school badges with him.

That's how it works.

It's very simple and clear.

But the fortune teller simply couldn't believe that his three teammates would turn into ghosts.

There has never been such a precedent before!
“They might have been killed by ghosts and then turned into ghosts.” A voice came from beside him. The fortune teller turned his head and saw Gu Mian standing next to him.

"They might have triggered something in the event and been assimilated into ghosts. In any case, when I saw them, they seemed to have completely forgotten that they used to be players," Gu Mian continued.

The fortune teller was a bit of a headache: "Your conversation with that driving instructor at the food factory was already quite unexpected, but now there's something even more surprising. It seems there are still many secrets about this game that we don't know."

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Is Lianhua University far from here? I'd like to go and take a look."

"It's not far, less than half an hour by car."

Just as the fortune teller was considering when to investigate, the fat man's voice came from the side: "Doctor, Miss 007 replied to me!"

Oh, sorry for posting this too early. Happy December 28th everyone!
