Global Collapse

Chapter 833 Late Goo

Gu Mian and Mr. Green saw the drop tower in the distance suddenly stop.

But it started running again after a short while, and when the machine rose into the sky again, Gu Mian saw that there seemed to be an extra person on it.

Xiao Qiao has probably found something new to amuse herself.

At that moment, the fat guy in the group sent a message.

[Fatty]: Doctor, why aren't you back yet? Miss 007 has already returned to her apartment, and she even brought back that upper-class guy you rescued.
007 and Louis have already gone back? No wonder I couldn't find them outside.

Gu Mian stopped searching and started walking towards the apartment.

After taking a couple of steps, he suddenly remembered Mr. Green behind him, turned around and asked, "Are you coming back with me?"

Mr. Green had no other choice but to leave with Gu Mian in tears.

By the time I got back to the apartment, it was already dusk.

The fat man stood at the gate, looking around. As soon as he saw Gu Mian, he happily ran up to her, exclaiming, "Doctor, you're finally back!"

Then he noticed that there were two other people following Gu Mian.

A little green man, a little red man.

The little red man is definitely the little red man, but this little green man...

"Why is Mr. Green still here?" The fat man looked at Mr. Green, who looked dejected, in surprise.

Mr. Green listlessly glanced up at the fat man, not daring to blame Gu Mian for bringing him back, and could only vent his anger on the upper class: "It's all those damned upper class people's fault."

He almost managed to escape, but was caught by a meddlesome upper-class person!
Mr. Green gritted his teeth with hatred whenever he thought about it.

"Where are Louis and the others now?" Gu Mian asked the fat man, ignoring Mr. Green who was grinding his teeth beside him.

"Louis is that upper-class guy, right? He came back with Miss 007, and they're both at the doctor's house now. I was thinking of tidying up the room next door so that upper-class guy could stay there," the fat man said after a moment's thought. "This is the first time I've ever seen such a normal upper-class person, even more normal than normal people..."

He thought of Xiao Qiao, a "normal person".

Since the "Ragnarok Incident," Xiao Qiao has become increasingly irritable, and she destroys things from time to time.

The door that Xiao Qiao slapped and broke a few days ago is still not repaired.

Fortunately, she has now found a new stress-relieving toy and doesn't have time to come back and torment them anymore.

“Oh, right,” the fat man suddenly remembered something, “when 007 brought Louis back, they ran into Xie Bi’an at the door…”

Upon hearing this name, Gu Mian pictured a cloaked man, Xie Bi'an's usual attire.

He never showed any skin, always covering himself completely with a cloak, gloves on his hands, and bandages around his neck.

Gu Mian even suspected that he might be some kind of special object that had come to life, the kind that would kill anyone who looked at him, which was why he covered himself up so thoroughly.

Xie Bi'an is a guardian sent by Paradise World, and he is from the same hometown as Louis.

However, he belonged to the lower class in the paradise and had no interaction with the upper-class Louis.

"The physical characteristics of the upper class are very obvious, so fair-skinned. Xie Bi'an recognized Louis as an upper class person at a glance. After seeing Louis, he seemed a little flustered. Hmm... He wrapped himself up so tightly that I couldn't see his expression. At that time, he took a big step back like this, so I think he seemed to be flustered."

As he spoke, the fat man imitated Xie Bi'an's actions, shrugging his shoulders and taking a large step back with a tense expression, as if he had been caught stealing.

Gu Mian: "..."

He felt that Xie Bi'an's actions at the time were not as comical as the fat man's.

"After taking a step back, he ran away as if he were fleeing, and hasn't come back since." The fat man shrugged. It was rare to see Xie Bi'an so out of control.

He usually has a mysterious and unpredictable demeanor, which fits the image of the mastermind in the novel.

But today he lost his composure like this.

However, it is understandable.

The fear of the lower class towards the upper class in the Paradise World was almost ingrained in their bones. Xie Bi'an probably never imagined that he would one day meet the upper class in the real world.

I lingered downstairs for a while, and by the time I got home it was already dark.

The room was dark, with the lights off.

As soon as Gu Mian entered the room, she saw Chu Changge, 007, and Louis sitting on the sofa in the living room. None of the three were talkative people. Chu Changge and 007 were meeting Louis for the first time. The three of them were not very familiar with each other and just sat there staring at each other.

"Why aren't the lights on?" Gu Mian looked up at the light fixture, puzzled.

The fat man scratched his head: "Our electricity card is with Miss Qiao, and she's still at the amusement park."

Since Xiao Qiao was late in returning, the fat man had no choice but to take out a few candles from the drawer under the table, light them, and place them on the table, creating a candlelight dinner atmosphere.

Gu Mian joined the three people who were looking at each other in bewilderment and plopped down next to Louis.

Now the four of them were staring at each other blankly.

Finally, Louis broke the eerie atmosphere by speaking first: "Thank you for coming to save me."

As he spoke, he looked at 007 beside him: "I've seen you before, on the circus stage."

During the Circus arc, Louis saw 007 on stage from upstairs, but 007 didn't see Louis at the time.

"Really? Nice to meet you." 007 didn't know what to say, so he gave a textbook-perfect reply.

At this moment, Chu Changge suddenly spoke up: "Although the situation was very tense at the time and I only glanced at it, if I'm not mistaken, when you looked up after Gu Mian destroyed the stage, there wasn't a hint of surprise on your face, right?"

He paused for a moment, as if recalling the scene: "Back then, you just looked puzzled, your expression saying, 'Why are the people who came to rescue me strangers?'"

At that time, Gu Mian and the other two had all changed their appearances, and Louis did not recognize them at first.

Gu Mian noticed Louis's expression at that time, but the situation was urgent and there was no time to investigate further.

"You knew someone would come to rescue you, didn't you?" Chu Changge continued.

007 shifted her body back uncomfortably, sensing the tense atmosphere.

According to the normal plot development, there should be a celebration after successfully rescuing the person, but before the joyous celebration banquet could arrive, Chu Changge started the three-way interrogation.

"And since you arrived here, you haven't asked a single question. You haven't asked where this is, or how we brought you here. It's as if you already knew the whole story." Chu Changge then turned to 007, "After you met him, did he ask you any questions?"

007 shook his head: "No."

The normal reaction of an upper-class person would be the same as that of the teacher who kills, wondering where they are and why they have come to this place.

The fat man was secretly watching the living room from the kitchen, sweating profusely.

Chu Changge's tone wasn't pleasant. He was genuinely afraid that this superior person would become enraged by the question and jump up to shout, "What do you stupid inferiors know!"

But Louis did not.

He just stared at Chu Changge for a long time, then took a deep breath: "It seems I'm really not suited to acting."

Damn, it's so late, so late.
