Global Collapse

Chapter 605 The Little Rascal

When the Killing Teacher went upstairs and saw the "old friend" Louis had mentioned, his already small head almost exploded.

"You, you, you..." He stretched out his short arm, pointing one finger at the person who was adjusting the hem of his clothes.

It wasn't that he wanted to point fingers, but the immense shock made him unable to control his hands; his whole body was trembling.

Teacher Killer never imagined he would see Gu Mian again; in his mind, Gu Mian should have died long ago in the collapsed forbidden zone.

Teacher Killer always regretted that he hadn't witnessed this person's death firsthand.

It was as if heaven had heard his regrets, allowing this person to stand before him once again, completely intact.

The cheers from below continued.

Nobody knows there are five dead kids outside.

Nobody knew that the person who had attracted the hatred of countless viewers in the final episode of Killing Game had returned.

After uttering several more "you"s, the murderous teacher finally managed to utter a coherent sentence: "You're not dead?"

Judging from his expression, he probably wanted to say, "You lowly wretch, how come you're still alive?", but he probably felt the situation wasn't good, so he dropped that adjective.

Gu Mian looked surprised: "Why should I die?"

He was initially worried that the teacher would see the corpses on the ground when he went out, but he didn't expect Louis to just bring the people up.

When Louis brought up the murderous teacher, he was somewhat surprised.

The little girl in red was still standing by the window. Gu Mian didn't know if Louis could see her, but judging from his expression, it seemed like he couldn't.

The murderous teacher stared at Gu Mian's white coat for a while, then he recognized the clothes underneath: "Wait, you're the lowly person who was taken away!"

As he spoke, his eyes widened, and he even took two large steps forward: "How are you not dead? And how did you get here? How did you sneak in!"

Although the Killing Teacher was living a respectable life, he was unaware that he existed in a dungeon world, and was naturally surprised by Gu Mian's "teleportation".

But his surprise was quickly overshadowed by other emotions.

“No, we shouldn’t be asking that now,” Killing Teacher took two steps back, then turned to look at Louis. “You know him too, right? This lowlife was in the final episode of Killing Game. I didn’t expect this lowlife to still be alive. Quickly call someone to arrest him!”

He stopped talking as if he had thought of something else, and a hint of suspicion appeared on the Killer Teacher's face. He looked at Louis, who was leaning against the door without moving, and then at Gu Mian, who was also not moving by the window: "You... know each other?"

He suddenly remembered that Louis had brought him up here, and before Louis brought him up, Louis had said something like, "Let me introduce you to some old acquaintances."

It seems Louis knew all along that this lowly person was here!

Gu Mian didn't actually know the circus ringmaster, but the other party seemed to have known he would come.

Gu Mian thought that perhaps the circus ringmaster sensed something when she received the clown mask.

Cheers erupted from below, and the teacher had a bad feeling. He wondered if anyone would hear him if he ran to the window and called for help.

The other two remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

The teacher, known for his murderous intent, moved a few steps to the side before continuing, "Louis, what do you mean by bringing me here?"

Louis, standing by the door, did not answer immediately.

Gu Mian noticed that he had somehow pulled out a lighter and was lighting a cigarette.

Once the cigarette was fully lit, Louis slowly spoke: "I told you, I brought you to meet an old friend."

"Heh." The Killer Teacher pulled a smirk, making a forced laugh, then suddenly looked straight at Louis as if he realized something. "You're not that familiar with this person, are you?"

"This person" naturally refers to Gu Mian.

Gu Mian stated that she did not know the circus ringmaster at the entrance. However, this did not prevent Louis from recognizing Gu Mian.

After all, the sign in the dungeon supermarket that read "Gu Mian and dogs are not allowed" was still quite popular.

The teacher who was killing had no idea about the sign that said "Gu Mian and dogs are not allowed to enter," and he didn't even know that he was just an NPC in a dungeon.

But Louis knew that high-level NPCs were aware that they were just NPCs.

At this moment, Louis, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, answered the teacher's question: "I've only seen him twice."

twice?

Besides this instance, has Louis seen himself before?
I hope it's not like the ghost in "The Deathly Face," who saw himself in a place that looks like a crematorium.

“The last time I saw this doctor was on your show,” Louis flicked his cigarette ash and looked at Killing Teacher. “You must remember the last episode of Killing Game very well.”

Mentioning that murderous teacher brings a pang of heartache. The cheers from downstairs constantly remind me that the killing games are a thing of the past, and now the upper class's favorite thing is the circus.

But now is clearly not the time to reminisce about the lost killing game. Killing Teacher stared at Louis: "Oh? So you've taken a liking to this lowly person you've only met twice? That's not like you. And... a doctor? Everyone knows that such a lowly person is not fit to be a doctor. He just stole a white coat from some hospital and put it on."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Gu Mian's clothes, but the more he looked, the more familiar the white coat seemed.

Gu Mian was already watching the performance on the stage downstairs with great interest, as if the "lowly inferior people" that the Killing Teacher had mentioned were not him.

Meanwhile, the teacher became increasingly horrified as he watched.

He had already recognized the white coat Gu Mian was wearing.

"Jin Hu!" The Killer Teacher's eyes widened as he recognized the previous owner of the white coat. "Isn't this Jin Hu's coat?"

Admittedly, all white coats in the world look pretty much the same.

However, Jin Hu's white coat was slightly different.

Despite being of lower social standing, he holds a place in a world full of upper-class people, yet his status is still looked down upon by them. Although he is a doctor, his uniform is subtly different from that of doctors of the upper class.

Jin Hu's white coat collar was slightly different from that of other doctors.

Therefore, the teacher who kills can recognize the previous owner of this outfit.

"How did his clothes end up on you?" The Killer Teacher knew the dangers of the forbidden zone and that the place where Jin Hu was located was even more dangerous.

That hospital... it's no exaggeration to say that even if Killer himself led two large squads of the Order Guard into the hospital, they might not be able to see Jin Hu himself. They would most likely die on the hospital stairs or in the corridors, or even directly in the lobby on the first floor of the hospital.

That hospital was the most dangerous place in the restricted area. In all the killing games that had been held, only a few lower-class people had ever been inside.

The few lower-class people vividly illustrated the dangers of the hospital to the audience: the overwhelming monsters, the twisted limbs, the chilling sounds of chewing, and the gruesome deaths of the unfortunate individuals. The upper-class viewers, through the live broadcast, also witnessed their tragic fates.

Once, a cleverer lower-class person entered the gate and realized something was wrong. He immediately tried to escape, but the monster in the hospital did not give him the chance. This clever person ultimately remained at the origin of that tragedy.

In short, it was a place that made the audience feel nauseous.

But this lowly person was wearing Jin Hu's uniform.

He went to the hospital's upper management to find Jin Hu?!

impossible!
How could he possibly escape unscathed from such a dangerous place?

The teacher found it unbelievable. He temporarily forgot about the five corpses outside. He stared at Gu Mian's face and said in an extremely uncertain voice, "You found this outfit outside the restricted area hospital, right?"

I've finished writing two million words this year! Damn it, I forgot the settings! I'm going through the earlier chapters, but how come my novel is so captivating? I'm totally engrossed in it again!
