Global Collapse

Chapter 612 Someone come here and carve the character "德" (virtue) on my saw.
Gu Mian analyzed, "It seems that since the Evil God statue was discovered, this world has rarely reverted to previous states. Perhaps it's because this world has stabilized? Or perhaps the Evil God statue has played an extraordinary role in it."

“It comes from a time before us, yet it has already moved into the future.” Louis recalled the evil god statue he had seen; he couldn’t remember the statue’s face, nor could anyone else.

Gu Mian nodded in agreement: "That's right, it is the past, and it is the future."

This evil god statue can not only maintain the barrier of the forbidden zone, but it can even escape the world's rollback, so it doesn't seem so useless.

If the statue has such abilities, the original body must be even more amazing.

How did it end up being hunted down to the point where it had to go into hiding?
Are we being persecuted by the world?
In an instant, Gu Mian brought her own experiences into the picture.

That's right, his current situation is no different from that evil god's; he needs to rely on the leaf brooch to cover himself up.

"Just as I thought..." Gu Mian heard Louis mutter to himself beside her.

He leaned closer curiously: "Sure enough what?"

Louis looked at him: "When I learned about the world rewind, I had a guess, and now it seems that guess was probably true."

What guess?
Before Gu Mian could ask, Louis spoke up: "I have questioned the system of this world, the so-called system between the upper and lower classes."

Wow, Gu Mian leaned back slightly.

Challenging the world's order, the protagonists in these special instances are indeed all talented individuals, jumping around and testing the world's bottom line. Jin Hu is like this, and so is Louis.

Even Liu Ruyan, who came from the old human world, was very dissatisfied with the system of her own world.

“Actually, a long time ago, the relationship between the upper class and the lower class was not this bad,” Louis used “bad” to describe the relationship between the two. “Coincidentally, at a certain time, conflicts suddenly broke out frequently between the upper class and the lower class, which directly deteriorated the relationship between the two sides, and finally led to the situation we have today.”

"Actually, the outbreak of conflict is not surprising, but the frequency of conflict at that time was too frequent, strangely frequent. You might not understand this, so let me give you an example. You also encounter some bad luck, right?"

Gu Mian: "..."

Louis didn't notice anything wrong with Gu Mian. He continued, "But a normal person might only have bad luck once every six or seven days. But you got hit on the head by a flowerpot in a very short period of time, then had a car accident, then the ambulance had a flat tire, and on the way to the emergency room, the stretcher broke and fell to the ground, causing secondary injuries. When you were on the operating table, the operating room suddenly lost power, and the surgeon fainted during the operation due to low blood sugar... Finally, you finally got home, only to have the coal canister explode."

Did you install surveillance cameras in my home?
"So I guess this world frequently saved and loaded its saves during that period, and only stopped after the plot it wanted appeared. The current system of upper and lower classes was created by this world. It wanted such a world."

Why would it want such a world?

Is it the world's twisted sense of humor?
“Wait a minute,” Gu Mian suddenly said, “this doesn’t seem to be the world’s intention. We were just talking about games and save files, right?”

Louis looked at him.

“This world is like a game where you can save and load, but the game itself can’t decide whether to load or not. What can decide is the player outside the game,” Gu Mian stroked his chin, “that is, higher dimensions.”

It is the higher dimensions that desire such a world.

Isn't that exactly the kind of world Earth wants?
Does Earth have this kind of twisted sense of humor?

This lousy planet is quite impressive. "Speaking of which, we once sent someone to a higher-dimensional world..."

Gu Mian knew: "Jiang Yang?"

Louis nodded: "I know this person, but I don't know how he left this world. He was a lower-class person. The upper-class people didn't want to go to higher dimensions, so they chose this lower-class person as number four."

Upon hearing this, something flashed through Gu Mian's mind, and he suddenly recalled a memory from a long time ago: "Wait a minute, you said number four?"

Louis looked at Gu Mian, wondering why he was interested in Jiang Yang's number.

Gu Mian frowned: "Is it because this is the Fourth World that his serial number is four?"

"Yes, the full name is 'Guardian Number Four'. It sounds like they're supposed to protect something, but I didn't know what they were supposed to protect at the time."

They… He seized on this key phrase: “Did you know that other worlds also send guardians to higher dimensions?”

“Yes, I know that the First World and the Seventh World each sent one person to the higher dimensions. I have met the guardian from the First World, who is your companion. I was a little surprised when I met him. Later, when he told me that you were Gu Mian, I guessed what they were protecting.”

Louis had seen Chu Changge in the killing game.

Gu Mian still frowned. He ignored Louis's last sentence and continued to ask, "Since the person you sent from the Fourth World is called the Fourth Guardian, then the person sent from the First World wouldn't be the First Guardian, would it?"

Louis still didn't understand why Gu Mian asked this question, so he answered truthfully: "That's how they are named. First World, Number One; Second World, Number Two... but they also have their own names."

Gu Mian felt a headache coming on.

"What's wrong with you?" Louis sensed something was amiss.

Gu Mian shook her head: "It's nothing."

As he spoke, he glanced out the window at the stage. Only a few people remained on the guillotine, and once they had decided the final outcome, 007 would make his appearance.

She will step onto the stage with questions about her show, and face this hysterical frenzy head-on.

He has to go back.

"Is your friend about to appear?" Seeing Gu Mian's thoughts, Louis also turned his gaze downwards.

“Okay,” Gu Mian nodded, “I’m going back now.”

Louis chuckled, "Go and perform for the upper class what you've done in other instances? I know some of those: sawing heads, explosions, arson, threats, and the like?"

"Bullshit, I always win people over with virtue."

I, Gu Bengbeng, have always won people over with virtue!
