Global Collapse

Chapter 656 is almost a thousand chapters.

At this moment, Gu Mian had already sat in the passenger seat of the car.

The fat man jogged back to the car, where he leaned forward and spoke to Gu Mian, gripping the back of the passenger seat with both hands: "Doctor, that Miss Qiao from earlier..."

Gu Mian held up a big data search tool: "Have you ever watched a horror movie?"

The fat man didn't know why Gu Mian would ask this: "I've seen some."

Gu Mian patted the driving instructor in the driver's seat, signaling him to drive towards the nearest arrow on the screen. The driving instructor, looking depressed, started the car.

With the driving instructor doing the hard work, Gu Mian didn't have to drive anymore. Amidst the roar of the car engine, he explained to the fat man, "Have you seen Cruise?"

The fat man recalled the plot of the movie, his expression dazed: "I had some guesses before, but hearing you say it so definitively, Doctor, still feels a bit unbelievable."

“There’s nothing incredible about it,” Gu Mian said, looking at the big data search screen in his hand. There were too many arrows on the screen, and he couldn’t tell which one was the living Chu Changge. He could only search for them one by one. “This world is a standard Ouroboros timeline. The time here forms a circle, and everything keeps repeating itself.”

"Chu Changge and the others are right in the middle of this constantly repeating circle."

The driving instructor was very skilled, and they had already arrived at the nearest arrow.

Gu Mian looked at a familiar dark figure standing by the roadside.

It paused for only two seconds before disappearing again.

Gu Mian noticed that most of the shadowy figure's fingers were missing.

"Not this one." Gu Mian stared at the open space for a while before looking away and signaling the driving instructor to continue in the direction of the next arrow.

He then continued to explain to the fat man behind him: "The Xiao Qiao we just saw is from the previous timeline. That Xiao Qiao died in the past."

The fat man recalled seeing Xiao Qiao turn into a monster just now.

His expression darkened: "Are Miss Qiao and Brother Chu both dead?"

“That’s right,” Gu Mian nodded, “and he died more than once.”

They may have died hundreds of times, or even thousands of times.

The screen was covered with arrows that were almost overlapping, making them impossible to count.

They were not originally part of the Ouroboros timeline, but were forcibly thrown here by Earth, which makes it impossible for them to be erased by time reset. Those who die will become monsters and stay here forever.

The car got closer to another arrow.

Gu Mian saw Chu Changge, who had died, again.

Silence fell over the car.

The driving instructor then headed to the next destination.

The fat man felt a little out of breath; there were just too many arrows on the screen, and if they kept searching like this, he didn't know when he would find the person.

This is such a waste of time.

But there was no other way. Gu Mian didn't have the skills to find people. The only big data search she could use to find people only yielded countless results for Chu Changge, and none of them had a clear direction.

Gu Mian also knew that time was of the essence: "It's best to find them as soon as possible. I don't think the world goes through cycles of reincarnation for no reason. It's very likely that it's using reincarnation to avoid something."

He looked out the car window.

Outside was a desolate, ghost town.

It was very quiet here. The only sound was from the vengeful ghost that Gu Mian had tied to the back of the car. It was being dragged along by the speeding car and was making loud noises.

“There are no living beings in this world; it seems to be heading towards extinction. Xiao Qiao once said that their world has entered its twilight.” Gu Mian frowned. “I guess this world started the cycle of reincarnation precisely to prevent itself from heading towards extinction.”

"That alarm is most likely a harbinger of the world's demise. I think when the alarm sounds, reincarnation will not be far off."

Therefore, Gu Mian must find the four of them before the alarm sounds. Once the alarm sounds, all the ghosts in the world will go crazy, and with the world collapsing, it will be impossible for normal people to survive.

By this time, the driving instructor had passed one arrow after another.

Without exception, all they saw were people who had died in the past.

“If nothing unexpected happens, this world will continue to cycle to prevent the end of the world.” Gu Mian looked down at the big data search in her hand. “It probably doesn’t want to cause any trouble and is only focused on preventing its own demise.”

“But Earth left Brother Chu and the others here,” the fat man stared intently at the road ahead, trying to spot any living people. “Earth wants to use this world to kill Brother Chu and the others. Even if they can’t kill them, it would be great to lure you, Doctor, in. If you come in, Doctor, you might just destroy this Seventh World. Earth would be very happy with that outcome.”

In any case, the Earth will never lose out.

It was fortunate that the Seventh World was quietly saving itself, not even participating in the dungeons, but Earth threw four people in, and then these four people lured Gu Mian in.

It is easy to imagine that this world will have a bright future.

It must be utterly speechless right now.

"Doctor, I have a question." The fat man's voice suddenly came from behind, "Even if Brother Chu and the others are saved this time, what about next time? And the time after that? The world keeps turning, and new people will be created. Will Brother Chu and the others die again in the future?"

Maybe.

Unless this world completely perishes and the cycle of reincarnation stops.

Thinking of this, Gu Mian looked at the driving instructor next to her, who was driving with a dark face: "You don't have a cell phone on you, do you?"

The driving instructor was taken aback by Gu Mian's sudden outburst, then shook his head with a look of realization: "I've suffered enough, do you still want to rob me? I really don't have anything of value on me!"

He told the truth.

In the last instance, Gu Mian almost pulled money out of his crotch.

After receiving a negative answer from the driving instructor, Gu Mian finally pulled a cell phone out of the pocket of her white coat.

[A mobile phone that breaks down the dimensional barrier]

This thing can be used in dungeons to make a phone call to an important NPC, but only if the NPC has a communication device.

Mr. Green once said that there is a super high-level NPC in this world, but it only exists in legends.

That legendary NPC is probably the only living being in the Seventh World.

Here, using a phone that breaks through the dimensional barrier, the only person you can call is that super-high-level NPC.

Hopefully, that NPC has a communication device.

Gu Mian stared at her phone for a while. During that time, the driving instructor drove past several dark figures, but they still hadn't found the correct Chu Changge.

“The NPCs in this world must know some clues. If possible, I hope to find out the location of Chu Changge and the others from him.” Gu Mian looked at her phone and pressed the dial button directly. “He may also know the method to stop the cycle of reincarnation in this world, but he probably won’t tell me.”

The phone beeped.

Gu Mian wasn't sure if the so-called high-level NPC had any communication devices with him.

This call is likely to be a wasted effort.

Surprisingly, the call was answered very quickly.

It seemed as if the other party had been waiting for this call.

"Hello"—Gu Mian heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice coming from the receiver.

Damn, a smarter version of Xiao Qiao.

Almost a thousand!
