Global Collapse

Chapter 775 The Flying Cuckoo and the Moral Benchmark
Why did he take off his helmet, which supposedly isolates him from thought, while he was still outside? Wasn't he afraid to make a wish on the spot?

Gu Mian was puzzled, but she didn't dwell on it.

The statue grants wishes over a wide range of possibilities, and he's overthinking things right now; his wish might very well come true.

"Let's get away from here and stop thinking about all that nonsense. But before I leave, I need to deliver those five packages around here." Gu Mian thought to herself, twisting the throttle, and the motorcycle sped up a bit more.

It's like a magic motorcycle; it doesn't have the basic structure of a motorcycle, but it accelerates when you twist the throttle.

The delivery truck returned to NPC Street due to a rollback, and the map on it moved along with it.

Fortunately, Gu Mian had a good memory and remembered their general locations, and the five collection points were not far apart.

He found four of the collection points and completed the delivery task in just half a day.

These five collection points were most likely deliberately placed on the task list by the evil god to lure him to the secret forest to see the statue.

Therefore, the packages to be delivered to these five locations are all very simple, consisting of things like tree branches and stones that can be obtained locally. Even if they cannot be obtained locally, they can still make a wish on the spot using the great evil god's wish-granting machine.

"The deliveries to Carnival Abandoned Factory, Valley of Evil in the East, and Prisoner's Cave have all been completed. The last delivery point is just ahead, at the dividing line between the upper and lower levels." Gu Mian, who had been busy for most of the night, was heading to the last location.

The dividing line between upper and lower classes, just from the name, you can tell it's a product of feudalism. It's highly likely that it was a commemorative building constructed by the upper class to demarcate the boundaries between the upper and lower classes.

What was to be sent was also quite abstract—a mouthful of saliva.

The idea was to make Gu Mian spit on that dividing line, which was very much in line with the style of the evil god.

Relying on her memory, Gu Mian found the dividing line between the top and bottom as night fell.

Of course, it's also because the signs in this place are too eye-catching.

From a distance, he could see a towering pole rising from the ground and pointing towards the night sky, which was particularly conspicuous even in the darkness.

Following the pole, Gu Mian arrived at a place called "Boundary Square".

This used to be a small square, but due to the collapse of the restricted area and the rampage of monsters, this place was affected and designated as a restricted zone, and no one has been here for a long time.

The fountain inside had long since stopped flowing, and the room was filled with a thick layer of fallen leaves, emanating the smell of rotting dead leaves.

The blue bricks underfoot were slightly warped from lack of maintenance, making them a bit uncomfortable to step on.

It looks like a monster came here and looted; the benches in the square were smashed to pieces, leaving only limbs and wood chips on the ground.

This place is so dilapidated that it doesn't even look like a square anymore.

Only a bronze plaque bearing the words "Boundary Square" barely proves that this place once existed, but the plaque is already covered in rust, making the four characters "Boundary Square" appear distorted and blurry.

With a casual tug, Gu Mian caused it to fall completely off the pole. The rusty bronze plaque landed on the ground with a final roar, as if bidding farewell to the world.

He stepped onto the rough blue bricks and walked toward the pole standing in the very center of the square.

The night was very quiet, and there was almost no sound around, except for the soft rustling of the fallen leaves piled up in the fountain pool as the wind blew through it.

There was no sign of any monsters nearby, so they probably lost interest in this place after coming here once.

The mechanical dog followed closely at Gu Mian's feet. This time, it no longer repeated its classic lines, and seemed to know fear too.

Gu Mian soon arrived in front of the tall pole that pointed straight into the night sky.

The pole rests on a stone base with an inscription about it.

"The dividing line between the top and the bottom—on this day, we finally distinguished ourselves from the inferior beings, and so we erected this pole to forever remember this glorious day."

Further down, you'll find the name of the builder—Slaughter.

Gu Mian was silent for a few seconds. Killer was really playing the role of a pro. After a moment of preparation, he spat at the name "Killer" and dutifully delivered the package.

With that, all five deliveries near the Secret Forest were finally completed.

Gu Mian took out the list and crossed out the location "top-bottom dividing line".

"With these five more, I've completed fifteen delivery missions. I only need to deliver eighty-four more to finish the mission and get the exclusive item to enter the 'Postman' profession instance." Gu Mian felt that the future was bleak. At this rate, she probably wouldn't be able to deliver ninety-nine packages by the time the earth was destroyed.

At that moment, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

"This area should still be within the wish-granting range of the evil god statue."

Thinking of this, he clasped his hands together, looked up at the sky and made a sincere wish: "Dear evil god, I hope you can help me complete the remaining eighty-four delivery tasks."

Whether the wish was too difficult or the evil god didn't hear it, his wish was not granted. Gu Mian stood in the dilapidated square with his hands clasped together and his head tilted back, looking quite comical.

Looking up, he noticed that the pole was adorned with various beautiful gems. Because no one had cleaned or wiped it, the surface was covered with a thick layer of dust, which was why Gu Mian hadn't seen it before.

"Xiao Hong will definitely like these." At this moment, he didn't care about any wishes. He took two steps forward and wanted to pry a few gems off the pole to take back to Xiao Hong.

But then he noticed that the stars in the sky were slowly moving.

what happened?

Gu Mian looked at the sky in confusion.

All the stars in the sky moved slowly in one direction at that moment, but they did not appear to be shooting stars.

Suddenly the ground beneath his feet began to tilt, and he almost fell because he lost his balance.

At the same time, he heard a low rumbling sound coming from underground, like a huge monster roaring from the ground.

The ground was tilting more and more violently. Gu Mian turned her head and looked around. She found that the ground to the east was slowly rising, while the ground to the west was slowly sinking.

This land now seemed to have become a seesaw, with one end constantly rising and the other end constantly sinking.

The mechanical dog on the ground sensed the danger and took a few steps forward, fearfully grabbing Gu Mian's leg.

Looking at the seesaw-like floor, Gu Mian's expression changed.

"The stars haven't moved; it's just that the ground is tilted, so people standing on the ground will mistakenly think that the stars are moving."

Gu Mian already realized what was about to happen.

This area is about to go up into the sky.

This place is about to become an upside-down city.

There was no time to think about anything else; we had to run and get out of this area that was about to take off!

If they went up to heaven from here, they probably wouldn't be able to come down, and Chu Changge and 007, who were waiting for him in the game city, wouldn't be able to leave this world.

Gu Mian reacted quickly, picking up the mechanical dog that was clinging to her leg and rushing toward the motorcycle.

He reached the car, threw the dog into the tank on the back seat, got on the bike, and accelerated hard, speeding south like lightning.

You cannot go east or west. The western edge of the land has sunk into the ground, while the eastern part has risen quite high. Going west is like digging your own grave, and going east to the boundary line is like jumping off a building.

Only the ground along the north-south central axis remained consistent with the normal ground outside. Gu Mian made a decisive decision and rode her motorcycle south.

Thank you so much for the generous donation, I'm so sleepy today too! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～

Haha, the wise, powerful, beautiful, iron-fisted, and audacious Gugu is back! (Evil smile, domineering turn)
