Global Collapse

Chapter 729 The Evil God Injected Sheep Placenta Extract, His Skin Was All Unfurled

As the water level dropped to the bottom, the bloated corpses inside sank to the bottom of the tank.

Gu Mian avoided the sharp cut and reached out to pull the corpse inside.

Presumably because it had been soaking for too long, the corpse inside was exceptionally heavy; Gu Mian estimated that it must weigh as much as two fat men.

Because the body was too large, it got stuck at the entrance of the hole halfway through being dragged, so Gu Mian had to work hard to widen the entrance.

It took him quite a while to drag the other person out.

Gu Mian plopped down beside it, staring at the enormous corpse on the ground. Just dragging it out of the vat was so difficult; she couldn't imagine how she was going to get it to the room it belonged in.

Unfortunately, special items cannot be used in this instance, otherwise he could use the walkie-talkie to summon his mother to move his corpse.

They entered the instance suddenly this time, and Gu Mian didn't have her brother's CD with her, so she had to do everything herself.

The corpse's neck was swollen and as thick as a ball, and the poor strawberry necklace was tightly held up by its ball-like neck, looking like it was about to break at any moment.

Gu Mian immediately reached out to save the precarious necklace, lest it actually break.

The process of removing the necklace went smoothly. Gu Mian thought that the corpse would at least try to stop her, like in horror novels where it "jumps three feet high and punches someone until they poop," but the corpse just lay there obediently without moving, not trying to help her poop.

"That went really smoothly." Gu Mian held the necklace in her hand and looked at the corpse lying on the ground.

Because the entire body was swollen from being submerged, the corpse's original appearance was no longer discernible; all that could be identified was that it was a man with one nose and two eyes.

At this moment, Gu Mian suddenly felt that the face looked familiar.

He was startled by the thought; why did he find a corpse fatter than two fat men to be familiar?

But the more he looked at it, the more he felt he had seen the face somewhere before.

Gu Mian squatted down and stared carefully at the head that had swollen into the shape of a watermelon. Faces of people she knew kept flashing through her mind. It didn't take long before she found a face that matched the corpse in front of her.

"Xu Xingcheng?" Gu Mian was not quite sure.

The head was so swollen from being submerged that the skin was stretched out, making it difficult to recognize. Gu Mian squatted down, picked up the head, and examined it closely. The more she looked, the more she felt it resembled Xu Xingcheng.

Gu Mian knew that Xu Xingcheng and the Evil God were the same person. He was so bored that he created a bunch of clones to wander around in various dungeons. Gu Mian had encountered him in several dungeons before.

But at least he was alive in the previous instance, but I didn't expect that his clone in this instance would become a corpse... and even swell up.

The evil god is a key figure in the Paradise World, and might even be able to produce a few tickets to the Paradise World instance, allowing them to enter the Paradise World and carry out the operation to rescue Louis.

But looking at the current situation...

Gu Mian silently looked at the swollen evil god in front of her. He looked like he was dead beyond dead, with his eyelids bulging out.

"Xu Xingcheng, Xu Xingcheng?" Gu Mian tried calling his name a few times, attempting to rouse the already dead evil god's clone.

Although his profession is doctor, his skills aren't strong enough to bring someone back from the dead. Gu Mian hopes the developers can strengthen his profession in the future; if he can't revive someone, then he can at least kill them instantly.

He called him twice more, but still received no response.

It seems he's really dead.

The appearance of the evil god's clone in this instance should not be a coincidence. Gu Mian remembered that when the instance was about to start, the player floors were suddenly redistributed. Could this be the work of the evil god?

An evil god intervened, assigning himself and his corpse to the same floor.

But this corpse can neither speak nor move. What's the point of him throwing the corpse and himself onto the same floor? Is it so that he can see how beautiful his clone will be after it's been soaked in water?
As Gu Mian pondered, she reached out and touched the corpse in front of her. The evil god must have his reasons for doing this. She would first check what was on the body before making any decisions.

Maybe we can find some clues.

But after searching from head to toe, there wasn't a single trace of anything on the corpse. Gu Mian silently withdrew her hand and stared at the swollen clone in front of her: "By the way, after five hours, any corpses that haven't been eliminated will become vengeful ghosts and wander around for ten minutes."

As long as the corpse is not eliminated, their beloved evil god can rise from the dead in due time.

I wonder if the upgraded "evil spirit" will be able to communicate with him normally.

Gu Mian glanced at the bloated evil god on the ground, then took the necklace and turned to walk towards room 608.

Time was tight; his teammates on the floors above and below were counting on him to help dispose of the corpses. He had to put aside the evil god and finish the mission first.

Gu Mian quickly returned to room 608, where the charred corpse lay in the middle of the floor.

Gu Mian quickly walked to its side, squatted down, and waved the necklace in front of the charred face: "Miss Jiao, I found your necklace."

Gu Mian didn't know the corpse's name; she just thought the surname was more fitting for her identity because the corpse was so charred.

Miss Jiao on the ground did not react.

Gu Mian then reached out and personally put the necklace on her, muttering to herself as she did so, "Look, I've put the necklace on you now. I guess I've completed my mission. I hope you won't be ungrateful..."

As he was speaking, the large screen beside the corpse suddenly flickered a few times and displayed several lines of text—

"Players on the fifth and sixth floors helped the lady in room 608 find her strawberry necklace. The lady in room 608 was very moved and marked the locations of the two corpses for everyone in the building (this message is visible to everyone)."

At that moment, the three fat guys on the seventh and eighth floors were discussing the dungeon in their room when Coco suddenly noticed text popping up on the big screen. She immediately said to the other two, "Look quickly."

"The players on the fifth and sixth floors have completed a task, and the instance has marked the locations of two corpses for us..." As soon as 007 finished reading the content on the screen, the text gradually faded and returned to the previous table.

But this time the form is a little different.

The 8x8 form was originally blank, with only the room numbers marked on it.

But now images have appeared in two of the squares.

One of them was room 706, where a very cartoonish, pitch-black little man was lying motionless on the floor.

“This represents a body burned to death.” 007 looked at the cartoon figure in cell 706.

The fat man immediately pulled out the paper with the corpse's location recorded: "The unlocked 706 is exactly the room on our floor. Let me check if what's shown on it is correct..."

He quickly found the small compartment on the paper that represented room 706, and inside was indeed a charred corpse.

“That’s right, the body in that room was burned to death.” The fat man looked up at the two people in front of him.

Coco is looking at the second unlocked cell in the table, which is the third room from the left on the fourth floor, namely 403.

A cartoon character with a huge belly appeared in this square, much like the corpses that had died from overeating on their floor.

007 also looked at the cubicle: "Looks like the person in room 403 died from overeating."

After looking at the two squares, 007 looked up at the time above again. At this point, the countdown had only four hours and twenty-two minutes left.

“The dungeon lasts for five hours, and almost an hour has passed and we’ve only unlocked two slots.” 007 looked a little worried. “I’m afraid that by the time the countdown ends, we won’t have been able to unlock all the locations of the corpses in the building.”

There won't be enough unlocked corpse locations, they won't know what the lower levels need, and the lower levels won't know what they need.

"It takes almost an hour to unlock two slots. At this rate, five hours will pass and we'll only unlock a dozen or so at most. There are sixty-four rooms in this building... I guess the more time goes on, the more frequently tasks will be issued, and the more slots will be unlocked with each task," Coco guessed from the side.

“Miss Coco is right,” the fat man agreed. “These dungeons all follow the same pattern. They’re quite cozy when you first enter, but they get more and more tense and exciting as you go on.”

Coco, who was standing next to him, choked. If she hadn't misheard, he had just used "warm and cozy" to describe the horror dungeon, right?
