Global Collapse

Chapter 582 almost didn't get updated today.
It's the Killing Teacher, the host of that variety show about killing games. It seems he was transferred here to work after the forbidden zone was destroyed.

Gu Mian seems to have not seen him for two lifetimes, and he probably wouldn't want to see her either.

When the forbidden zone of the killing game collapsed, the camera following Gu Mian was already crushed, so no one else knew why the forbidden zone collapsed, and no one knew that it was related to Gu Mian.

Teacher Killer obviously didn't connect the collapse of the restricted area to Gu Mian. He just assumed that something unexpected had happened in the restricted area and that Gu Mian had died when the restricted area collapsed.

I wonder what kind of interesting expression he'll have when he sees Gu Mian again.

The teacher was still talking to himself: "Damn Jin Hu, he must know something about the destruction of the restricted area, but unfortunately he was already dead when we found him."

At this moment, the man in the tall hat next to the Killing Teacher spoke up: "I heard that when you found him, he was still smiling?"

"With a smile? That was an incredibly enthusiastic smile. The corpse was so stiff, it's amazing he could still maintain such a warm smile," the Killing Teacher paused for two seconds, then spoke again with a hint of inquiry in his tone, "Smiling like that, what did he see before he died..."

Gu Mian, who was eavesdropping, looked up at the dark sky. The sun was shining brightly today.

“That episode was originally very popular, but unfortunately the restricted area collapsed halfway through, and the show was suspended as a result,” the man in the top hat said.

Gu Mian heard the Killing Teacher chuckle: "Because there was a troublemaker on that episode, and the audience wanted to see his expression when he died. Unfortunately, the tracker broke when he died, so it wasn't filmed. But thinking about it, I know his expression when he died must have been quite interesting."

His tone was very certain, indicating his firm belief that the troublemaker was dead.

Gu Mian could already imagine the expression on Teacher Killer's face when he saw him again; that expression would definitely be more interesting than he had imagined.

007 didn't quite understand their conversation, but she had a gut feeling that Gu Mian was connected to that "troublemaker".

The two walked away in no time. The teacher kept talking incessantly, and his complaints could be heard from a great distance.

"Honestly, if the restricted area were still there, I wouldn't have to come to such a grueling place, having to watch that old man's every whim and get up so early to work. Have you finished setting up the venue over there? There's a big performance today..."

Watching the two figures grow smaller and smaller until they disappeared from sight, 007 finally dared to speak: "Those two don't seem to know anything about the instance world."

Gu Mian nodded: "I don't know the one next to me, but the one in the pink shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes doesn't know about the dungeon world."

"You know him?" 007 asked curiously.

Gu Mian nodded and instructed, "Of course I know him. Hide my clothes well, and make sure he doesn't see them."

He had taken the white coat from Jin Hu; if the teacher with sharp eyes recognized Jin Hu's white coat at a glance, things would get complicated.

Judging from the situation, he and the killing teacher will inevitably meet sooner or later, but definitely not now.

Gu Mian touched the mask on her face: "I heard from them that there will be a performance today."

“It’s a performance,” 007 corrected. “It’s not a talent show.”

After correcting her, she suddenly remembered something: "You wouldn't do something like setting the audience on fire during the performance, would you?"

007 remembered that Fatty suggested she bring some bombs into the dungeon, but she only had about twenty game coins left. Let alone bombs, she would have trouble even bringing an egg.

"Do I look like that kind of person?" Gu Mian asked in denial.

007 said confidently, "It looks like it."

The sky was beginning to lighten, and dawn was just around the corner.

Gu Mian ignored 007's reply. He glanced at the gray skyline and said, "The dungeon's death protection mechanism is already off. This is a very dangerous, class-specific dungeon. You need to be careful."

007 looked up at Gu Mian: "Be careful not to get caught in the blast from the bomb you planted in the audience?"

Gu Mian: "..."

Before the sun had fully risen, the two surveyed the surrounding terrain. By the time the people in the tents woke up, they had already returned to their respective cages.

Gu Mian definitely had to attend the performance that Teacher Killer mentioned, so that more people could see the clown mask on his face and he would have a chance to find the high-level NPC in this instance.

007 will also keep an eye out for him.

By this time, the sun had fully risen, and with its appearance, the drizzle gradually dissipated. The sunlight dispelled some of the chill, and the people in the cages were no longer shivering from the cold. Gu Mian basked in the sunlight, pondering her questions.

"It seems that Teacher Killer did well after the collapse of the Forbidden Zone. It seems that the upper class was not affected much by the monsters in the Forbidden Zone... Jin Hu's beautiful new world line failed. Fortunately, he is already dead and does not know this sad fact."

"I wonder if Mr. Killer knows about high-level NPCs. He doesn't even know he's in a dungeon world, so he probably doesn't know much... But who was that old man he was talking about last night?"

The saying "Speak of the devil and he shall appear" is indeed true.

Just as Gu Mian was deep in thought, a shadow suddenly appeared and enveloped him.

He looked up and saw a man in a pink shirt and suit pants standing in front of the low cage, his back to him, directing the cages in front of him.

"Get on that bus, the very first one, and hurry up, don't dawdle!"

He straightened his chest and pointed in one direction, where five large trucks, like trucks hauling pigs, were parked.

The people in the cages were very obedient; they all crawled out of the cages and staggered toward the truck.

Gu Mian watched the teacher's retreating figure. After directing one group, he went to curse and tell another group to go to the second truck. While speaking, he even kicked the last person walking: "Hurry up, don't waste time."

The person who was kicked fell down, immediately got up, and ran towards the truck.

The teacher rolled his eyes: "Isn't this supposed to be able to run fast? I still have to kick him before he'll move. He's just a lowly, inferior person who only knows how to play the victim."

After he finished speaking, he went to direct the others to get on the truck. 007 mingled in the crowd and got on the fourth truck. She huddled at the very edge of the truck door and glanced at Gu Mian.

After the fourth batch of lower-class people boarded the bus, only Gu Mian and a small group of lower-class people remained in this area.

The teacher, frowning impatiently, turned around: "You, get on the fifth bus, hurry up..."

The last small group of people began walking towards the fifth car.

Just as he was wondering who was lagging behind, his gaze involuntarily shifted forward and was drawn to a person in front of him.

He saw the back of a young man.

This person?

A strange feeling suddenly welled up in the Killer Teacher's heart. He couldn't explain why he had this feeling, and an ominous premonition enveloped his mind.

Just as he was opening his mouth and unconsciously raising his foot to look at the person in front of him, a loud noise suddenly came from the other side.

"boom"

The sound of a bomb exploding.

The teacher, startled, looked in that direction but didn't see any explosion. Instead, he saw a round object rolling on the ground, and the sound came from that object.

It was clearly a prank.

"What the hell? Who threw this?!" he immediately cursed.

It was thrown by 007.

The fat man asked her to carry a bomb, but she couldn't get one. She only managed to get a special item that could be used to simulate a bomb explosion, but she couldn't imitate anything else.

She threw it very discreetly, and after throwing it, she ducked her head to avoid being discovered by the murderous teacher.

After this ordeal, when the teacher went back to look for the young man, he could no longer find him.

"Strange..." he muttered, not thinking much of it, and went to tell the driver to start the car.

That was close.
