Global Collapse

Chapter 769 fixed the bug where rollbacks would cause players to be tampered with the park.
Gu Mian quickly explained the situation to Chu Changge and 007 in the group chat, informing them that the world had been rolled back five times in a row.

Before the two of them could react, the fat man jumped out eagerly.

[Fatty]: What? Doctor, your team rolled back? What are we going to do? If your team keeps rolling back, then Doctor Chu and Miss 007 won't be able to get together, right?
Then, he began to fantasize, lost in thought, imagining that Gu Mian and the other two were trapped in the Paradise World because they couldn't reunite due to the time rewind, and that they still hadn't come out even when he had turned into an old man with a white beard.

Thinking about this, the fat man became sad and started to cry in the group chat.

[Fatty]: Waaaaaaahh ...

[007]: I just took a closer look at the message Gu Mian sent. This world has gone through five consecutive time rewinds, but it only managed to bring the time back from tomorrow to today. Something's not right about that.
[Gu Mian]: I think so too.
The two chatted in the group, each saying a sentence, completely ignoring the fat man who was constantly whimpering in the background.

After sending the message, Gu Mian turned to look at the pile of ruins around the statue.

Reverting to a save point should be a one-step process; you can simply return to whichever save point you want.

But the world went through five consecutive rollbacks without even a moment's respite in between.

It's like there's a bug when reverting to a save point; no matter how I try, I can't get back to the save point I want, so I kept trying several times without giving up.

He knew that the time-lapse in Paradise World was controlled by Earth, and these five consecutive attempts were clearly Earth's doing as well.

"Is Earth trying to rewind time to before we entered Paradise?" Gu Mian wondered, looking at the ruins. "Trying to see if they can trap us out?"

However, due to an unknown bug, Earth tried many times but could only rewind time to after they entered this world, and finally had to give up.

Before seeing the statue, everything was calm and peaceful, and there was no sign of the world rewinding.

Right after he saw the statue, Earth began to frantically rewind time and space, trying to send him back to another location.

Earth seems to not want them to find this statue.

"Is there a secret in this statue? A secret that Earth doesn't want people to know?"

But no matter how hard Gu Mian looked at it, she couldn't see anything special about it, so she could only go up and find Killer to tell her about the statue.

But before that, he had to reintroduce himself to Killer.

Thinking about it, Gu Mian glanced at the group chat again. Fatty and Xiao Qiao were rambling on and on about useless things. 007 hadn't sent any more messages since he finished talking to Gu Mian.

Chu Changge remained silent after announcing his location.

The same thing happened last time. Gu Mian asked Chu Changge to meet 007 at the game center, but Chu Changge took a long time to reply with a simple "okay," as if he was busy with other things and didn't have time to reply to the message.

Since Gu Mian didn't mention his name in the group this time, he didn't even send a "good" message, and it's unclear what he's been busy with.

Gu Mian thought for a moment and then typed in the group chat.

[Gu Mian]: Chu Changge, you're very close to 007. Just walk south for a bit and you'll see Crazy Game City. It's very safe there. Go there and meet up with 007.
He had just sent the message when he heard hurried footsteps coming from above.

Gu Mian looked up, her head turning halfway down the spiral staircase, and saw the person making footsteps on the other side.

It was a massacre carried out while people were dressed in suits.

Perhaps because he was rushing down the stairs, his once neat suit had a few wrinkles, but he was completely unaware of it.

He had already seen Gu Mian directly opposite him. He stared wide-eyed at this stranger who had appeared out of nowhere: "Who are you?" "Jiang Yang." In the dimly lit room, Chu Changge was looking at several photos on the table in front of him.

The photo shows a boy with normal skin tone, less than ten years old. He looks at the camera somewhat nervously, but perhaps because he has never seen a camera before, his gaze is slightly upward.

Chu Changge was in this room when she came in.

This is an empty, old room that has been uninhabited for a long time.

The ceiling of the room was covered with irregular, dry yellow stains, with a few specks of moldy green showing through them. It looked like water was frequently seeping in from the roof, getting wet and then drying, then getting wet again.

The walls looked like they had been repainted, covering some of the watermarks that had run down, but the new paint couldn't completely fix the leaking roof. A long trail of watermarks flowed down from the corner of the ceiling and was stopped by the headboard at the corner of the wall just before it hit the ground.

It was an old wooden bed, faded at the headboard and legs, looking quite old. One of the legs seemed a bit short, so someone had placed a thin piece of wood underneath it.

In addition, there is a window and a table in the room.

The table in front of him was the one with three photos of boys on it.

A thick layer of dust settled on the photos and the table, like a shiny tablecloth covering them.

Chu Changge recognized Jiang Yang at a glance. He was no longer called Jiang Yang; he had given himself the name Bai Wuchang (White Impermanence) and always appeared in public wearing a black cloak.

The heavy curtains covered the windows, making the room feel stuffy and oppressive.

Chu Changge took a few steps to the curtains, lifted a crack, and looked outside.

This is the second floor. You can see crooked, dilapidated buildings outside, and below are cracked streets—a typical low-income residential area. But right now, there's not a soul in sight; it's eerily quiet.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into the small room, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air.

Chu Changge lowered her eyes and looked at the empty street for a while, then lowered the curtains and turned to look at the furnishings in the room.

Although the room was dilapidated, it was already a room that the lower class could not possibly desire.

Upon arrival, he immediately searched the entire room, finding nothing except a few photos on the table.

"Looks like that happened last time." Chu Changge had already seen the rollback in the group chat, and also saw the message Gu Mian had just sent asking him to meet 007 at the game center.

He had lost his memories of the timeline before the rewind, but he could deduce some of them from the messages Gu Mian sent.

Last time, he was sure that he had safely met up with 007 at the game center, so this time Gu Mian didn't ask him anything before letting him go to the game center.

It's indeed very safe to get to the game city from here. There's not a single person in this residential area. When Chu Changge looked out just now, he saw an upper-class residential area not far from here.

He looked over there and a thought struck him: he must have gone in there last time.

The person who knows you best is yourself. After learning that the world had rewound, Chu Changge began to mentally deduce his previous actions.

"As long as we follow the same route as last time, we should be able to safely reach the game city and meet up with 007 this time." Chu Changge went to the window again and looked at the upper-class residential area not far away. He saw several flyers scattered on the ground in the upper-class residential area.

“I can roughly deduce their movements, but the timing can’t be exactly the same as last time; I can only try to make it as close as possible.” He carefully observed the upper-class residential area over there. “I won’t miss the opportunity to go in and look for clues in such a close upper-class residential area. But I won’t go in now; I need to figure out the terrain and patterns.”

Who updates at 2:30? Could it be me? Could it be me? You bad author!
