Global Collapse

Chapter 600 She fled, he chased, and neither of them could escape.
So far, the little girl has only thrown out a shoe; her true form has not yet appeared.

It's possible that she saw Gu Mian playing with the other children and that's why she excitedly hid.

It couldn't have been left behind while fleeing.

Maybe I'd like to play a game with him?

Want to play hide-and-seek?

Gu Mian picked up her shoes and looked around.

He's quite good at this; not long ago he even went through a dungeon that was somewhat related to hide-and-seek.

Gu Mian was lost in thought when suddenly a child's giggles came from below the stairs.

It was a little girl's voice, and it sounded a bit eerie.

When this sound is heard in a typical dungeon, players' first reaction is usually "Run!"

Gu Mian naturally reacted in the same way.

He grabbed his little red shoes and dashed toward the direction from which the sound came, afraid that if he was too slow, the other person would get away.

Gu Mian, carrying her shoes, rushed down the stairs to the fourth floor.

The little girl probably didn't expect him to rush down. She couldn't dodge in time and came face to face with Gu Mian. She was still grinning and in the same position as when she was laughing, but now there was no sound from her open mouth.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

In the dimly lit stairwell, a human and a ghost stared at each other, neither making a move for a moment.

Gu Mian picked up her shoes and carefully examined the little girl standing not far in front of her.

She was wearing a bright red dress, barefoot, and her hair was loosely tied into two pigtails that pointed upwards, which looked somewhat comical—if one ignored her pale face and bright red lips.

Last time, she was perched on someone's back, so it was hard to tell how tall she was. This time, it's clear she's a bit shorter than those five art students, so she's probably younger than them.

However, Gu Mian knew that the upper class did not judge combat strength by age. Most children were more mad than adult upper class, and the little guy in front of her was probably stronger than the previous ones.

The little girl opposite Gu Mian stared at the shoe in Gu Mian's hand for several seconds.

Just when Gu Mian thought she was about to rush up and unleash a barrage of attacks, the little girl closed her grinning lips, pouted, and turned and ran away.

Ran……

They have absolutely no class of manners!

Gu Mian hadn't even had a chance to say "Hello" to her.

He didn't even have a chance to take out his guitar and perform his talents.

He paused for half a second, wanting to chase after her, but then felt like a weird uncle chasing after a pitiful little girl.

Just as Gu Mian lifted her foot to walk in the direction the girl had left, she suddenly felt a chill on her waist.

He looked down.

Two small, bluish-purple hands reached out from behind him and rested on either side of his waist.

A strange hand.

He turned his head to look behind him, following the hand on his waist, and a familiar face came into view.

It's the child who just touched Mother Earth.

What an indomitable upper-class kid! Even after he dies, he'll come back as a ghost to cause trouble.

Mike twisted his neck at an odd angle and looked up at Gu Mian.

He curled the corners of his mouth into a twisted smile at Gu Mian, his resentment almost filling the entire corridor: "I'm back."

Behind him were four other children, their faces equally pale. They all gave eerie laughs and uttered chilling words: "We're back. We've come back to find you."

It's clearly not human anymore.

Gu Mian never expected that she would see them again.

The five of them raised their hands, and terrifying ghostly claws attacked Gu Mian.

"Die! Die! Die! Die!"

The hallway was filled with resentful voices, and the temperature seemed to drop several degrees.

But just then, a roar full of righteous energy suddenly rang out, and the mournful voice stopped abruptly after the roar appeared.

Gu Mian turned on her chainsaw and began her hard work.

Go find your mother.

"When he was alive, I beat him to a pulp, and now that he's dead, he dares to come back and cause trouble? He's really something."

Where exactly is Louis?

While working diligently, Gu Mian did not forget to inquire about the whereabouts of the NPCs.

But probably because he went too far, these children died before they could say a few words. This time, they really died.

While pondering the plausibility of these children turning into ghosts, Gu Mian picked up the red leather shoes beside her, preparing to continue chasing after the little girl.

"I've only been to two instances of this world, one is this one, and the other is the Killing Game..."

He lifted his foot and chased after the direction the girl had just left: "The dangers in the killing game all come from the monsters and upper-class people in the forbidden zone. The only ghost I saw there was harmless."

"Most of the dangers in this instance come from the upper class. If the accident just happened, there wouldn't be any powerful ghosts appearing."
"Based on the killing game scenario, the ghosts in this world should all appear as important NPCs, hmm, if nothing unexpected happens..."

Those five were artificial ghosts, not originally from the instance; they were special cases.

Gu Mian quickened her pace, thinking that if she could catch that little girl and torture her severely, she might be able to get some information out of her.

It's all those five brats' fault, otherwise he might have caught them by now!

Thinking of this, he felt a surge of desire to go back and whip the corpse.

However, that little girl just now really didn't have any airs of a superior person.

Normal, upper-class people should be like those five children, even if they are killed by him, they will still come back for revenge after death.

She, on the other hand, runs away as soon as she sees someone, and she runs incredibly fast.

In just a short while, Gu Mian could no longer find where she was.

He searched for the girl's figure while pondering.

Something's fishy going on. This girl's lewd behavior might be part of a trap.

So Gu Mian, while keeping an eye out for traps, picked up her shoes and looked for the person.

He's currently searching for ghosts on the fourth floor, while 007 is secretly watching the performance from behind a curtain in the backstage area on the first floor.

Those currently on stage are the third group of the lowest class, and the program the host has given them is "The Joyful Guillotine."

"Joy" and "guillotine" are originally completely unrelated, but the upper class managed to combine them.

Having witnessed the perversion of the upper class, 007 was no longer surprised by such a stitched-up name.

The program content is very simple; 007 has seen this kind of game on many TV variety shows before.

The content seems to match the title quite well (nods confidently).
