Global Collapse

Chapter 737 Passing By and Getting Caught: Beauty Chu

“The third and fourth floors, like us, have put all the bodies in the unlocked locations into the same room.” 007 stared at the two rows of squares on the screen that represented the third and fourth floors.

The players on the third and fourth floors first moved the two corpses whose locations were revealed on the third floor to room 406 upstairs, and then moved the remaining corpse whose location was revealed on the fourth floor to room 406 as well.

The fat man looked curiously at the changes in the positions of the corpses on the third and fourth floors: "Their actions are the same as ours. Could it be that they are also hinting that they need corpses on the fifth and sixth floors?"

However, the room on the third and fourth floors where the corpses were piled up was 406, while the corpses in room 506, which was right above it, were not unlocked.

“But the fifth floor, which is next to 406, doesn’t show what kind of corpse is in 506 either. Could it be that the players on the third and fourth floors have X-ray vision and know what kind of corpse is in 506?” The fat man pouted as he spoke. “But the third and fourth floors are very likely occupied by those people from Renle Mountain. If that’s the case, then Brother Chu is on the first or second floor. He can’t get help from the doctor on the first or second floor…”

Before the fat man could finish speaking, 007's voice suddenly rang out: "The first and second floors are most likely not Chu Changge."

The fat man was taken aback at first, then thought for a moment with his rarely used brain, but he really couldn't figure out how 007 had come to this conclusion. Then he asked the three words he always asked: "Why?"

“We saw it before, after the location of the burning ghost in room 403 was revealed, the people on the first and second floors wanted to get rid of the burning ghosts on their floors, so they simply moved the burning ghost from room 201 to room 203.” 007 emphasized the word “simply”.

Coco's mind worked faster than Fatty's, and she immediately understood what 007 meant: "Chu Changge is not stupid. We were able to think that there might be two dismembered corpses connected vertically on the lower floor. When moving the dismembered corpses, he specifically moved them to 804, so that they were not next to 604, which had the same type of corpses below. He was afraid that directly eliminating the corpses downstairs would cause extra corpses to appear downstairs."

"But when they moved the bodies on the first and second floors, they didn't think of this. They put the charred bodies they wanted to eliminate directly into 203, without considering that 303 upstairs might also contain charred bodies like 403, and that putting them there might result in them being eliminated directly."
"And there may be more than two charred corpses on the third and fourth floors. If two of them are eliminated directly, the remaining three will not be able to be eliminated on their own, and then we will be in danger."

"They didn't even consider the people upstairs, dragging the charred corpse from 201 directly to 203. Anyone who could do something like that is either brain-dead or completely inconsiderate of other people's lives," Coco concluded.

“Brother Chu isn’t stupid,” the fat man immediately said, then paused for a moment before continuing, “but he can be quite wicked sometimes… though he certainly wouldn’t disregard the lives of our own people!”

007 stared at the big screen: "So the first and second floors are not Chu Changge, but most likely Renleshan."

Coco now held the paper and pen from Fatty, and as she wrote on the paper, she said, "So it's almost certain that the first and second floors are Renle Mountain. In that case, Chu Changge is on the third and fourth floors, and there's a 99% chance that Gu Mian is on the fifth and sixth floors. The three of us are on the seventh and eighth floors..."

Soon a simple floor plan of the staff was drawn.

“This also explains why the people on the third and fourth floors didn’t help the people on the first and second floors,” Coco gestured with her pen to the floor plan in her hand. “After the people on the first and second floors moved the bodies, Chu Changge on the third and fourth floors immediately realized that the people below were not good people and were likely Ren Leshan and his group, so he did not react.”

"Brother Chu has a quick mind," the fat man exclaimed. "We'll have to try it out before we realize that the first and second floors aren't good people, but the third and fourth floors are great because we can get close to the doctor there... But why did Brother Chu pile all the corpses with available spaces into room 406? It doesn't seem like he's hinting at anything to the doctor upstairs."

“I think he didn’t just pile the bodies with available spaces in 406, but he piled all the bodies in that room,” 007 guessed. “He kept all the bodies away from the first and second floors to prevent them from being mysteriously eliminated by the people below.”

"Why are we moving all the corpses to 406?" On the third and fourth floors, a player named 'Victory Hardware Old Liu' was panting as he dragged a corpse toward 406. He asked the expressionless young man wearing glasses next to him as he dragged the corpse, but the young man ignored him completely. Old Liu had no choice but to shrink his neck and continue dragging the corpse that was still dripping water in his hands.

Although he was dragging the body in his hands, he didn't dare to look down at it.

In fact, when the young man asked him to drag all the corpses into the same room, Lao Liu was somewhat resistant, but the young man bluntly said that if he didn't do as he was told, he would die, so Lao Liu had no choice but to comply.

He wasn't very bright, and after the instance's death protection mechanism disappeared, he met Ren Leshan and Qi Tian Xiao Sheng, and naturally joined their team. Actually, they originally had a group of people.

Every now and then, a few of them will be gone; some will leave, some will die, but new people will quickly come in to fill their places.

But the number of people who came was always less than the number who left, and now only the three of them remain from the original group.

Several times he was able to clear dungeons thanks to Renle Mountain; otherwise, his survival would be uncertain.

Therefore, he greatly admired Renleshan and did whatever Renleshan told him to do.

Later, they robbed the short man in the green clothes, and their enemies came knocking on their door, tying him up and locking him up. He thought he was going to die in that stuffy little room, but unexpectedly, he entered a special instance today.

I wonder if they're still in that locked little house after they leave the instance.

While he was thinking, Lao Liu dragged the last corpse to room 406. The room was now littered with corpses. He didn't dare to look at it for long, threw the dripping body on the ground, and hurriedly retreated.

After leaving room 406, he saw the young man who had been in the same group as him standing in front of the large screen in room 405, seemingly deep in thought.

He had never met this young man before, and he was startled when he saw that the other party's nickname was "Chu Meiren," which reminded him of a horror movie from his childhood that had scared him so much that he wet his pants.

Fortunately, although the young man's nickname was a bit scary, he was actually a very reliable person. I was able to complete the previous quests in the dungeon thanks to him.

Since Lao Liu wasn't assigned to the same floor as Ren Leshan, whom he relied on, he transferred all his reliance on Ren Leshan to this young man with a terrifying name, doing whatever the young man told him to do.

After moving the body, the old man wiped the water from his palms onto his trousers before nervously approaching Chu Changge: "The body has been dragged into room 406. What do you think we should do next?"

Chu Changge did not answer him, but continued to look at the large screen in front of her with the tables drawn on it.

Old Liu swallowed hard, feeling somewhat anxious. He used to be bossed around all the time, but now that Chu Changge wasn't doing it anymore, he felt a vague sense of unease.

Seeing that Chu Changge remained silent, Old Liu hesitated for a moment before trying to strike up a conversation: "Where are you from? Did you come in with your teammates?"

Chu Changge wasn't there the day Gu Mian brought him back. He didn't know that Chu Changge and Gu Mian were together, and just assumed that he had unfortunately been passing by and had been arrested.

The indifferent young man still didn't speak to him, and Old Liu walked away somewhat dejectedly.

He had only taken a few steps when he noticed text appearing on the screen in front of the young man; it meant that the people upstairs had completed another task.
