Global Collapse

Chapter 763 Yiwu Small Commodities Market is closed down, evil god figurines are only 99 cents!
"Nonsense!" Gu Mian immediately retorted, "Your instance is shoddy, so the houses you build are also shoddy. That's perfectly reasonable."

The killer was in a frantic rush and didn't have time to listen to his excuses. He was just searching the whole house for the key to the hinged door to send Gu Mian downstairs, as if the house would collapse if he stayed for another second.

Gu Mian watched as the carnage approached the sofa and reached out to feel the gaps between the sofa cushions.

When I'm home alone, I often can't find the remote control, and many times my husband has found it from under the sofa.

At that moment, Killer, who was groping for something in the gap between the sofa, suddenly touched a rectangular object.

what is this?
He took it out of the gap with a puzzled look and found that it was a remote control in his hand.

An unfamiliar remote control.

Killer paused for two seconds, then immediately understood and turned to look at Gu Mian: "What are you thinking about now? Please stop thinking nonsense!"

Gu Mian awkwardly turned her head away.

It seems that Killer is afraid that he might come up with something dangerous, such as a remote-controlled bomb, a giant excavator that could level this place, or an earthquake that would turn this place into ruins.

Just as she was thinking this, Gu Mian suddenly felt the ground shake.

Killer finally found the key behind the cushion, but before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly felt the sofa in front of him shaking.

No, it's not just the sofa.

His own shadow on the ground was also swaying. He turned around in surprise and saw that the whole house was shaking slightly. The projector on the ceiling was trembling from side to side, and the electronic display screen on the balcony had all stopped working and turned completely black due to the shaking of the house.

The culprit was standing awkwardly in the middle of the living room, turning his head away and pretending to look at the scenery outside the balcony.

The mechanical dog that came in with him was also swaying on the ground, before finally falling headfirst onto Gu Mian's calf.

“You, you…” Killer’s hand holding the key trembled slightly. He stared at Gu Mian and said “you” twice, but could not finish the sentence.

Without a doubt, the shaking was caused by Gu Mian.

He was so angry he couldn't speak, and a thin blush of red rose to his pale face from the rage.

Fortunately, the earthquake was not very damaging. The ground seemed like an employee who didn't want to go to work; it only shook symbolically before calming down.

"Get down there immediately!" Killer gripped the key in one hand and grabbed his helmet with the other, striding towards the hinged door under the carpet. His voice trembled with excitement. "If you stay here any longer, I... I'm doomed. We're going down there to see that statue right now. Once you've seen it, get out of here!"

If this place collapses, this helmet will have to be welded to his head until he builds the next house that can isolate consciousness.

As he spoke, his hand trembled slightly as he inserted the key he had just found into the keyhole.

Because he hadn't calmed down yet, he tried several times before finally inserting the key completely. Then he gripped the key and turned it, and a "click" sound came from the keyhole.

The hinged door made of a special material slowly rose up, transforming into a downward staircase.

Gu Mian curiously leaned over to take a look: "This thing is pretty smart."

Killer put on his helmet and walked down the stairs, then turned back and eagerly invited Gu Mian: "The evil god statue is down there, come down with me quickly." He felt that his house could not withstand another blow from Gu Mian.

Gu Mian walked up the stairs with the robot dog at her feet.

Then the hinged door slowly slid down, leaving only a 'fat man' in the living room muttering to himself, "Where's my key? Where's my key? Where's my key?"

Seeing that the hinged door above his head was completely closed, Sha Lu breathed a sigh of relief. Now Gu Mian could no longer ruin his house.

"The statue is at the very bottom; just walk up the stairs to the end and you'll see it," he said in a good mood.

The underground is different from the above, and it took Gu Mian a few seconds to adjust to the light here.

This is a cylindrical, vertically downward-facing cavity, like an enlarged well.

The stone staircase beneath her feet spiraled downwards along the wall. Gu Mian came to the staircase and looked down. Below was a deep black hole, and even with the wall lamps illuminating the area, the bottom of the cave could not be seen.

The air here is a bit humid, and some of the stone steps underfoot are even covered with moss. There are no railings along the edge of the stairs, so you have to be careful when going down to avoid slipping and falling.

The death of a person is a minor matter, but damaging the statue of an evil god is a serious problem.

This downward-facing cave wasn't made of any special material and couldn't isolate thought, which is why Killer entered wearing a helmet.

“Going down these stairs is so boring, why don’t you listen to what I was saying earlier? Ah! Where were we… Right, I said my skin tone wasn’t like this before.” Gu Mian had only taken two steps down the stairs when she heard an exaggerated and hypocritical voice from the side.

Killing seemed to be making conversation out of nothing, probably afraid that Gu Mian might come up with some brilliant idea when she was bored.

"In the past, there was no difference in appearance between the upper and lower classes. When they stood together, it was impossible to tell them apart with the naked eye, until that statue appeared in the world." At this point, the exaggerated voice of the killer became somewhat somber, as if he had thought of something unpleasant.

"That statue can grant wishes, and people often make wishes to it. Although most of the wishes it grants are unsuccessful and simple, there are one or two exceptions. One superior person's wish was perfectly granted by the statue."

As he said this, he subconsciously looked down at his hands, which reflected a deathly white light under the wall lamp beside him. Gu Mian had often seen this skin color on corpses before.

He listened to the stories of slaughter as he walked down the road.

"That person who took a bath with sulfuric acid... I just told you about the upper class whose bathwater suddenly turned into sulfuric acid. He was saved because others found him in time, but his skin was corroded by the sulfuric acid, even his face was affected."

"When he was first rescued, he looked like a melting monster. His skin drooped down layer by layer, and even his facial features were affected. Can you imagine? One of his eyes was in the normal position, while the other drooped almost to the bridge of his nose. No, he didn't have a nose bridge anymore. Where his nose used to be, there were only two holes for breathing."

"He became a monster, neither human nor ghost, yet he didn't complain about the statue. You see, he was turned into that grotesque form because of the statue, but instead of complaining, he often came to this place to make a devout wish;

He firmly believed that the statue was the work of God, and since God could turn him into that grotesque form, He could surely restore him to his original state as well. At first, he came almost every day, praying that God could turn him back to his original form and that he could return to his former self.

“Day after day, 'God' never granted his wish. Over time, his piety gradually turned into doubt. He was angry, he questioned, he covered his face with his almost melting hands and wept, but all to no avail.”

His murderous gaze was somewhat empty as his thoughts drifted back to distant memories: "I didn't see him again for quite some time. It was two years later when we met again. That meeting really startled me. I don't know what he had gone through, but he had completely shaken off his previous dejection and become crazy and confident."

“He told me that this time ‘God’ would definitely hear his prayers, and he had completely understood ‘God’s’ will and figured out how to get ‘God’ to grant him a blessing;
"So I took him to the statue, hoping he could go back to the way he was before. He has changed a lot since he became like that, and I hope he can return to his original self in every way."
"But I didn't expect that his wish wasn't to go back to the past, but a huge, terrifying wish that included the whole world."

Damn it, it was posted more than ten minutes late. Whatever, as long as it's not dawn, it's not the next day! (Justified jpg)
