Global Collapse

Chapter 602, almost 700 chapters!
His expression wasn't pleasant, and he rolled his eyes several times while speaking.

Gu Mian looked in the direction the killing teacher rolled his eyes and saw another familiar figure.

It's Louis.

It turns out that the person talking to the killing teacher was Louis.

He was standing in a dark corner next to the audience seats. The shadows covered the area, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that there was a person standing there.

Didn't they say he wouldn't be in the stands during the carnival? I've been looking for him upstairs for so long.

Gu Mian stared at the figure in the corner.

He was leaning against the wall in the dim light, one arm crossed over his chest, a cigarette between his fingers. Unlike the other excited upper-class people, Louis seemed uninterested in the performance on stage; his gaze never left the cigarette in his hand.

At this moment, the lower-class person holding scissors on the stage made his final choice with trembling hands, cutting the blue line between the two.

The room fell silent, everyone staring intently at the guillotine that gleamed with a cold light.

The guillotine did not fall.

After a moment of silence, a huge cheer erupted from the audience.

The lower-class man, holding scissors, trembled and sat down heavily on the ground.

Meanwhile, the lower-class man below the guillotine straightened up, a faint smile appearing on his face, which was still showing signs of fear.

The two switched positions.

The enthusiastic cheers of the audience did not affect Louis; he did not go to watch the exciting scene on stage, as if he did not enjoy watching this kind of performance.

Gu Mian suddenly recalled the snake-headed mask's assessment of Louis—"He's a good man."

He's a good person...

So you don't watch the performance because you can't bear to watch the cruel game on stage?

Gu Mian felt that the term "good person" did not fit the image of the average person in the world.

But based on the snake-headed mask's previous description, this leader did indeed sound like a good person.

Just as Gu Mian was speculating about Louis's character, Louis below seemed to sense something and looked up in their direction.

Then Gu Mian by the window and Louis by the audience seats made eye contact.

Gu Mian: "..."

After making eye contact with Gu Mian, the circus ringmaster did not react excessively. He looked up at Gu Mian for a few seconds and then looked away, as if he had not seen anything.

After Louis looked away, he said a few perfunctory words to the killing teacher, then took a few steps back and disappeared into the darkness beside him.

The teacher, enraged, glared in the direction Louis had left, even waving his not-so-long arm as if he wanted to hit someone.

But Louis had already disappeared.

Gu Mian stood by the window, stroking her chin: "Could it be that they've come to see me? This person is indeed quite different from other upper-class people. If it were Teacher Killer who saw me just now, he would have jumped up and shouted for security long ago."

"dad."

Just as Gu Mian was looking down at the killing teacher, she suddenly heard a voice from the side.

What the hell?
He turned his head toward the source of the sound and saw that the little girl in the red dress had somehow appeared beside him, looking up at him.

"What did you call me?" Gu Mian asked, holding her shoes in one hand and rubbing her forehead with the other.

007, who was spying from behind the scenes, also saw Louis. She only saw Louis after she saw the teacher who had killed him, and then followed his gaze.

However, after only a few seconds of seeing Louis, the other person turned and left.

007 noticed that he seemed to look up in a certain direction before he left, and she turned her head in confusion to look in the direction Louis had just been looking.

Her angle wasn't good; it took her a lot of effort to see where Louis had been looking.

She finally saw Gu Mian again.

Gu Mian was standing behind a window above, holding a bright red object in his hand, looking down at a pale face next to him.

007 noticed that the owner of that face looked somewhat like the little ghost girl he had seen not long ago.

She discovered that the human and the ghost were actually having a peaceful conversation!
The girl's expression was peaceful. 007 saw the girl open her mouth and utter two words. She couldn't hear what the girl said, but the shape of her mouth looked somewhat like "Dad".
Gu Mian was facing away from 007, so 007 couldn't see his facial expression or the shape of his mouth. He could only see Gu Mian's mouth opening and closing as he spoke a long passage.

She guessed that Gu Mian might have meant, "Who's your father? Don't just randomly claim kinship with people. If you go around calling someone 'Dad' in the street like that, you'll easily get beaten to death."

Seeing this scene, 007 felt a little dazed.

Normally, when a person and a ghost appear together, the person is usually chased so badly that they are running away in a panic.

Normally, when a ghost and a ghost appear together, the ghost is usually chased so badly that it runs away in a panic.

Unexpectedly, things went smoothly today.

Nobody was so scared they ran away in a panic.

"What are you looking at?" A voice pulled 007 back to reality.

She snapped out of her daze and looked at the person who seemed to have made the sound.

It's a snake-head mask.

“It’s nothing…” 007 stepped forward, blocking the snake-head mask’s view, “I just wanted to check on the situation on stage.”

She remembered that the little ghost girl had been clinging to this person from the beginning, whether it was a coincidence or intentional.

She also remembered that the snakehead mask came from the circus base and knew more about Louis.

007 was certain that Louis had seen Gu Mian upstairs, but he hadn't made a sound, which made 007 think that Louis was indeed different from other upper-class people.

The snake-head mask looked at the curtain: "This is the third program now. I'm in the fifth batch to go on stage. I still have some time to prepare... By the way, your friend is also in the fifth batch, right? I remember we were in the same carriage."

007 nodded: "He probably won't be coming back."

When I saw Gu Mian just now, 007 didn't see the five children, so I guess they've already been killed.

Gu Mian will definitely run away after killing someone and won't come back to perform on stage.

Moreover, it seems that Louis went up to find him, so there's even less reason for Gu Mian to come back after meeting with Louis.

The snake-headed mask's thoughts were completely different from 007's: "Don't be sad, it's not necessarily true. If those upper-class kids get tired of playing with them, they'll release them. People have come back before, although..."

He didn't continue.

"Although it's cracked." — 007 added in his mind, "The snake-headed mask said that two people were sent back, and when they returned, the mask was already cracked."

In the heart of the snake-headed mask, Gu Mian was already broken.

007 imagined Gu Mian's face breaking open and appropriately showed a hint of sadness.

After two years of unremitting efforts, Auntie has finally reached 700 chapters!
