Global Collapse

Chapter 762 Problem Collapse
"I'm not stupid either. After this strange situation lasted for several days, I figured out that all these weird things were probably caused by that statue. I found that whatever I dreamed about at night would most likely happen the next morning."
"At first I guessed that the statue could grant people's dreams, but later I realized that I had underestimated it. It can not only grant dreams, but also the desires in people's hearts..."

"That's right, it's a wish. It's like a wishing machine, turning people's thoughts into reality, but things that become reality always have flaws, just like the two people I conjured up, they're always as still as wooden sculptures;
"This is a very troublesome matter. People can't control their thoughts; usually, the more you don't want to think about something, the more you will think about it. There were other upper-class people who stayed here with me at the time, and after discovering that the statue could grant their wishes, they would always uncontrollably think about dangerous things;
"Some people found rusty nails in their food for four consecutive days, and someone had a sudden thought while taking a bath: what if the bathwater turned into sulfuric acid? Then his bathwater really did turn into sulfuric acid."
"It's too dangerous. The fewer people left here, the better. The more people there are, the more dangers we imagine. As I just mentioned, I have a high status among the upper class, so I've decided to send everyone else away and stay here myself. No one objected."
"For my safety, we made this helmet with special materials. It can isolate my thoughts inside the helmet, preventing them from being received by that statue." As he spoke, Killer tapped his helmet, the crisp sound echoing through the forest.

“We built another house using the same special material. I don’t need to bring this with me when I’m in that house. Look, we’re almost there.”

As they were talking, Gu Mian saw a building appear in front of her.

At this moment, Killer quickened his pace and walked forward.

Gu Mian followed, carrying the saw.

As he got closer, he realized that what was in front of him was a two-story building, but unlike ordinary buildings, its outer layer seemed to be made of steel.

The smooth, silvery-gray surface reflected the light from the streetlights, and Gu Mian squinted as she looked up along the steel wall.

The building has no windows, not even a single crack.

Gu Mian couldn't even find where the door was.

At that moment, Killer suddenly put one hand down and put it into his suit trouser pocket.

Gu Mian turned her head and saw him take out a remote control-like object from his pocket.

There were many buttons on the remote control. He watched the carnage and pressed the top red button.

Then, with a rumble, a door slowly opened in front of them.

"I can take off my helmet once I'm inside." Killer seemed to have had enough of wearing the helmet and quickened his pace as he walked through the door.

Gu Mian followed them into the building.

He put down the saw and looked around at the interior furnishings.

The two-story building looked very high-tech from the outside, and Gu Mian originally thought that the inside would be similar, with cold experimental tables, high-tech mechanical creations, and walls full of physical data.

But that's not how it is in reality.

This is a warm and comfortable place to live.

The walls on all four sides are a warm, light yellow, and a projector hangs on the ceiling, projecting videos onto the walls.

To the right of the entrance is a gray fabric sofa, and in front of the sofa is a coffee table covered with a floral tablecloth.

The floor was covered with a huge circular sunflower carpet, and directly opposite the door was a large open balcony.

It was daytime outside the balcony at that time.

"That's an electronic display screen, not a real window." The voice of killing came from behind.

At the same time, Gu Mian heard a "pop" sound.

He looked back and saw that it was Killing that had pulled his head out of the helmet: "Luckily I don't have to wear a helmet here, otherwise I would be so depressed to wear this all day."

His hair was a little messy, which didn't quite match his neat suit.

Gu Mian looked at the face of the murderer; his skin was deathly pale, the characteristic skin color of the upper class.

Regardless of skin color, the killer was quite handsome. Gu Mian was used to seeing those distorted and ugly lower people, and compared to them, the person in front of her was practically good-looking.

The only flaw is that he has a vertical scar that runs across his entire face, from the corner of his right eye all the way down to his neck.

The pale skin made the scars stand out even more, adding a touch of ferocity to this otherwise delicate face.

Noticing that Gu Mian was staring at his face, Sha Lu touched his cheek and smiled: "Actually, I wasn't this skin color before... I wasn't this fair."

"How can people here bleach their skin after birth?" Gu Mian wondered.

Seeing his question, Killer patiently explained: "Actually, at first, the appearances of the upper and lower classes were no different. We only distinguished them by their birth and wealth, until we later discovered that statue."

Speaking of statues...

Gu Mian had already looked around the entire first floor, but she couldn't find any trace of the statue.

If I remember correctly, the killing was something he brought with him to see the statue, right?

There's a staircase next to the fabric sofa that leads to the second floor; I wonder if the statue is on the second floor.

“That statue can grant wishes, although it’s flawed most of the time, but it’s better than nothing, isn’t it?” Killer squatted down and lifted the sunflower carpet at his feet. Gu Mian saw a hinged door under the carpet, which was locked.

Then he put his hand in his suit trouser pocket, as if looking for something.

He searched both pockets, but couldn't find it.

The murderous expression suddenly turned bewildered, like a fat man who couldn't find his key.

As Gu Mian was thinking, a huge creature suddenly appeared beside her.

what happened?

He turned his head to look and saw that what had appeared out of thin air was a person.

He's also fat.

Then I looked at his face, and wow, he looked exactly like the fat guy.

His face was blank, and he fumbled in his shirt pockets, asking, "Where are my keys? Where are my keys? Where are my keys?"

Killer was startled by the fat man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He even forgot to look for his keys, pointing a finger at the fat man and stammering, "He...he...he...he..."

“This room is no good. Didn’t you say it could isolate consciousness?” Gu Mian was also stunned for a moment, then began to look at the room with disdain, and then looked at the fat man next to her. “How could such a big fat man be squeezed in here? The holes are too big. It’s obviously a shoddy construction.”

"No, it's impossible. I've been here for so long, and this has never happened before..." Killer stammered, clutching his head with one hand, clearly unable to believe what he was seeing.

Gu Mian saw him pinch his thigh hard with his other hand.

A hissing sound filled the room; he had clearly pinched himself hard.

"I understand, I understand." Slaughter, still panting, suddenly realized something. He turned to look at Gu Mian. "Since it's not me who's at fault, then it must be you!"

Wow, GuGu is amazing! Posting two chapters at once!
