Global Collapse

Chapter 589 Sneaky 007
Just as the snakehead man was describing his autobiography to the other lower-class people, 007 suddenly leaned close to Gu Mian and pulled him away from the crowd: "Don't you feel something's not right?"

Gu Mian nodded in agreement: "It's really strange that a superior person like Louis would appear in this kind of worldview. I reasonably suspect that there might be something wrong with his head..."

Of course, to put it more nicely, the other person suddenly realized the meaning of universal love and took world peace and equality for all as their goal.

007's lips twitched slightly: "That's not what I meant, I meant..."

She paused for a moment before saying, "What would a high-class person like him do at the junkyard for no reason?"

Gu Mian touched her chin: "Then it's definitely not because you're too idle."

"Do you remember why you went to the Princess and the Seven Dwarfs dungeon?" Because the name of the junkyard dungeon was too long, 007 couldn't remember it very well. He just repeated the name of the dungeon from memory. Anyway, knights and dwarfs are not that different.

Surprisingly, Gu Mian could tell from the distorted name which dungeon 007 was describing: "Because Mr. Green said that the NPCs in this dungeon don't want players to enter, so they buy up the dungeon entrance tickets at high prices and throw them in the junkyard."

It was because of this NPC who carelessly threw away the admission tickets that Gu Mian and her companions went to the Junkyard instance.

"Could Louis have gone to the junkyard to throw away his mask?" A bold idea popped into Gu Mian's head.

Mr. Green said that all the world's trash will be thrown into the Junkyard instance.

Therefore, it's highly likely that this world first consolidates its own garbage into its own world's garbage dump, and then throws it all into the garbage dump instance.

So the clown mask that Louis left in the junkyard next to 49th Street eventually ended up in the junkyard instance.

But the snakehead mask was encountered by Louis ten years ago in the junkyard next to 19th Street. Did Louis already have the foresight to throw away the clown mask back then, and start taking precautions against fire, theft, and Gu Meng?
If Louis really was throwing away the clown mask ten years ago, it means he knew ten years ago that his world would become a copy.

Did the world start planning this a decade ago?
Thinking about this gave Gu Mian a slight headache.

Things seem to be getting complicated.

007 had obviously thought of this as well: "It seems that the lower-dimensional world had planned this all along. Ten years ago, they already had something like dungeon entry tickets. Do you remember the Yuan Qinghua in the Werewolf dungeon? We were able to find traces of her in the real world. Perhaps the lower-dimensional world had already connected to our world a long time ago."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something and frowned.

Gu Mian looked at 007's suddenly strange expression: "What's wrong?"

"Speaking of Yuan blue and white porcelain, I suddenly remembered something."

"What's the matter?" Gu Mian looked at 007 curiously.

007 frowned: "There's something I've never told you. In the Werewolf game, before I died, I saw Chu Changge and Yuan Qinghua talking about something alone."
"You know my identity in that instance is the ghost, so I'm always acting furtively. That's how I overheard their conversation..."

They do everything in a sneaky, furtive way...

007 is quite good at using idioms to describe himself.

Hearing 007 say this, Gu Mian also remembered something.

Before Yuan Qinghua died, he gave him a final message.

"You promised me."

Gu Mian still can't figure out what she promised her. Could it be that Chu Changge tricked Yuan Qinghua with the school badge?
As he thought about it, he asked, "When you were sneaking around eavesdropping on their conversation, did you see Chu Changge's face? Was it the same as usual?"

007 asked doubtfully, "I saw it, it's the same, right?"

It seems he didn't use the school badge to disguise himself back then.

What did he say to Yuan Qinghua?

007 slowly began to recall, “I happened to hear Chu Changge’s voice when I went there. I remember he said…” Because the scene was so bizarre, 007 remembered it vividly and even dreamed about it a few times.

She remembered that player Chu Changge and NPC Yuan Qinghua were discussing something in a dark corner, and the two seemed to know each other very well.

First came Chu Changge's deep voice: "You should understand that they are different."

Then Yuan Qinghua's somewhat anxious voice said, "I know, but I..."

Even though he was being very careful, Chu Changge still immediately noticed the presence of other people.

After hearing the other party say "Who's there?", 007 fled in panic. She only heard these three sentences from beginning to end.

"I see." Gu Mian stroked her chin. It seemed that there was a secret between Chu Changge and Yuan Qinghua.

I wonder who the "they" that Chu Changge was referring to are.

It's unknown whether Yuan Qinghua's last words were related to Chu Changge.

Although I really want to figure out what's going on, now is not the time to study this kind of problem.

“If Louis went to the junkyard to throw away the clown mask, then he’s the one who knows the inside story of the dungeon, and he’s the NPC I’m looking for… He’s also our quest target.” Gu Mian frowned.

Gu Mian changed the subject so quickly that 007 was momentarily stunned.

She quickly realized that now was not the time to discuss Yuan Qinghua and Chu Changge.

She heard noisy conversations and unsteady footsteps coming from behind the red velvet, which meant that the upper class had entered the audience and their performance was about to begin.

But to this day, 007 still doesn't know what today's program is.

Gu Mian continued talking to herself, "If Louis is the person I'm looking for, he should have recognized us when he saw the clown mask earlier."

Looking back now, Louis's gaze did indeed linger on his face for a few seconds before he left.

They were looking at a clown mask.

The high-level NPC that Mr. Green mentioned is most likely him.

“If we’ve already found the NPC you’re looking for, then we don’t need to go on stage, right?” 007 listened intently to the commotion outside. “We were only going on stage to test the audience with the clown mask. Now we can just go find him directly.”

The sounds behind the velvet grew louder, and even some music began to play, probably to warm up for the upcoming performance.

The sudden music startled everyone else in the room.

Then someone spoke up: "By the way, do you know why we're here today?"

"They want us to perform on stage, right? The stage is right behind the velvet cloth, so we can just go there."

"But what am I supposed to perform? I have no idea. I was just sent here today, and I didn't even know I was coming to participate in the carnival before I arrived."

007 found it odd: "These people are just like us, knowing absolutely nothing. Wasn't there a rehearsal before the carnival?"

Gu Mian grinned: "That's good for us."

At this moment, everyone else in the room turned their attention to the snake-head mask. Only those who were originally in the circus knew more about the carnival, since it was organized by the circus.
