Global Collapse

Chapter 773 "A Guide to Avoiding Dangerous Individuals (8th Edition)"

Although the "Disguise Masterpiece Mustache" allowed him to remain unrecognized, in the eyes of the upper class, he was still a "strange, inferior person."

The lower class would be arbitrarily captured and forced into hard labor.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Gu Mian decided to separate from them and wait until the trial variety show started before going on stage to lift her beard and rekindle their old flame.

The scene at that time would be quite spectacular.

Gu Mian picked up the mechanical dog, carrying the promise the evil god had made to her, and prepared to leave: "I will come to see you again if I have the chance. I hope you will remember me next time I come."

Just as Gu Mian was about to leave, Sha Lu suddenly called out to him, "Wait, what about the one downstairs...?"

He was referring to the fat man that Gu Mian had unintentionally created.

Besides the fat man in the living room, there was another group outside. Chu Changge and Xiao Qiao should still be wandering outside. It wouldn't be good if they were seen by other upper-class people.

"They won't just disappear on their own?" Gu Mian remembered that before the rewind, Killer said he had also created multiple Xu Xingchengs. "How did you make those Xu Xingchengs you created disappear?"

Hearing this, Killer was visibly stunned for a moment. He couldn't remember saying these things to Gu Mian, but he quickly realized what he meant and stared at Gu Mian, saying, "If you want him to disappear, he will disappear... Wait, you just said 'they'."

The killing had already made them forget that there was another group outside.

“There are dozens more outside, all of them are my relatives and friends.”

Upon hearing this, Killer's eyebrows twitched violently, clearly not expecting Gu Mian to create so many at once.

However, Gu Mian hadn't expected that she could return the item.

The evil god's wish-granting machine is far too understanding.

He symbolically chanted the spell "Sesame disappears," indicating that he wanted everyone to disappear. Sure enough, when he went downstairs again, the fat man in the living room had vanished.

Killer stared blankly at the fat man who had been standing there, lost in thought. Gu Mian suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him: "By the way, I wanted to ask you something. Who do you know among the people next to me?"

After a half-second pause, Sha Lu looked at Gu Mian thoughtfully and asked, "How did you know I know the people around you?"

“When I arrived in this forest, I created a group of people. At that time, the machine guns on the perimeter detected people and opened fire automatically. But after a while, I heard someone seem to recognize someone and order the machine guns to stop firing. Now it seems that was your voice.” Gu Mian recounted the events that happened when she first arrived in the forest to the amnesiac Killer.

"I do know the people around you. I know Chu Changge and that fat guy. They were with you during the killing game, so it's impossible not to know them. Besides that, I also know there's a violent madman who seems mentally challenged, a stutterer who can crawl out of a CD, and a girl who can drive a children's rocking car..."

Thinking of the killing, he quickly went to the bookshelf next to the living room sofa and rummaged around for a while before pulling out a thin book and handing it to Gu Mian: "They're all in here."

Gu Mian asked in confusion, "Someone is even publishing books for them?"

He took it and looked down, only to see a line of large red characters at the very top of the cover: "Guide to Avoiding Dangerous Individuals".

Below are a few lines of smaller text.

Are you still worried about running into Gu Mian around the corner because of bad luck? Are you still being persecuted because you didn't discover danger in time or escape quickly enough?

"The Dangerous People Avoidance Guide (8th Edition)" helps you quickly identify potential dangers around you, so you no longer have to worry about "running into love around the corner"—a proud production of Toy Goose Publishing Company.

Gu Mian: "..."

The cover photo is an ugly picture of himself carrying a chainsaw and holding a person in his hand. Upon closer inspection, it looks like Wang Napao from Sunshine Insurance.

This picture is blurry; it's a side view, probably taken secretly by someone else while I was having a friendly chat with Wang Napao. It seems like nobody really likes me, as they're only taking unflattering pictures of me.

Turning to the first page, right next to his face is a full-body photo, I don't know which picture it was cut from, next to which is a line of large, bold red text: "Top dangerous person, run immediately if you see him, or you may face a tragic end (see the hearse driving instructor and the green host of the Crazy Guessing Words program)."

What kind of talk is this? Although Mr. Green was carried into the real world by me, he has now brought him back, okay?

I wonder where Mr. Green is now.

Gu Mian continued reading and noticed that each piece of clothing and decoration had a line drawn out as an annotation.

There was a line marked on his white coat, at the end of which was written: "If you see someone who looks like they are wearing a white coat, don't say or do anything, just turn around and run away. Don't doubt whether the person wearing the white coat is Gu Mian or not. Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free."

Besides the white lab coat, I also drew a line to annotate my leaf brooch, black collared sweater, and guitar bag.

The most outrageous thing is that the guitar case even has a cross-section diagram, revealing the chainsaw inside.

Below the character portrait was a long list of coping strategies. Gu Mian glanced at it briefly, and the advice boiled down to one word—"Run."

Not finding anything interesting, Gu Mian flipped to the second page, only to find that it was about Coach Che.

Coach Che's rating is second only to himself, making him the second most dangerous person. According to statistics, every instance Coach Che has worked for has been swept away by Gu Mian without exception. Rumor has it that he is a mole planted by Gu Mian here, specifically to scout ahead.

Flipping further down the page, you'll find Chu Changge, Fatty, Xiao Qiao, and the others. Sure enough, everyone I know is there, even Xiao Hong, who can't get into the dungeon, has her own page.

Each character has a brief biography and an analysis of their outfits.

The last page contained the sentence, "If you encounter any of these people in the dungeon, it means Gu Mian is likely nearby. Run quickly, you still have a chance to escape."

After finishing reading, Gu Mian silently closed the book and decided to take it back to show everyone. However, since it wasn't a special item, she didn't know if she could take it out of the house.

He rolled up the book and stuffed it into the guitar case behind him, then turned to look at the carnage: "I'm leaving first. There are still people waiting for me at the game center. Oh, and turn off those automatic firing devices outside."

Gu Mian didn't want to be riddled with bullets the moment she stepped outside.

Killer nodded: "I'll see you out."

After saying that, he looked at the round helmet on the living room sofa, hesitated for a moment, walked over, picked it up, and put it on his head.

Speaking of which, they were in such a hurry when they went down that they forgot to wear the mind-blocking helmet, but miraculously, they ran all the way back up without any accidents.

Gu Mian even suspected that the statue's five consecutive collapses had affected its usability.

"The variety show you're going to is called 'Judgment and Crown,' it starts in seven days. You're thinking of going to the game city to pick up your friend so we can go together, right?" At this moment, the two had already walked out the door, and time had returned to when they first entered the dungeon; it was already daylight outside.

"Yes." Gu Mian looked up at the bright sky. The game had rewound to shortly after entering the instance. 007 had started in Crazy Game City, and Chu Changge should not have arrived there yet.

He opened the group chat and saw that Chu Changge had sent a message.

[Chu Changge]: Gu Mian, did I mention anyone I met last time?
The message was sent about half an hour ago, and he only saw it now.

Chu Changge didn't ask about this in the group last time.

Did he run into someone this time?
Gu Mian replied with "No".

The mighty Gugu is back! I used to desperately pursue the keyboard, but it ignored me and turned to someone else. Now I've returned after arduous training, and this time Gugu is determined to reclaim everything that belongs to me!
