Global Collapse

Chapter 839 Little Red Learns to Speak
Before Mr. Green could even utter a word of protest, Gu Mian picked him up and threw him out of the apartment building.

Just as Gu Mian was throwing Mr. Green out of the building, she ran into 007 who was returning from the amusement park.

Bright, who was unexpectedly pulled into the amusement park world, once told them that there were traces of people living in the amusement park's power distribution room. At that time, he and 007 naturally thought of Ren Leshan, who disappeared after leaving the match-3 game.

It was too late when we got back from Theme Park yesterday, and 007 didn't have time to go to the amusement park to find out what was going on.

So early this morning, she got up and went to the amusement park to verify the truth of what Mingliang had said.

"How did it go?" Gu Mian asked as 007 returned.

007 looked tired, as if she hadn't slept well last night: "There are indeed signs that someone lived in the power distribution room. There are two bedding sheets on the floor of the room, so at least two people lived there at the same time."

Two people? That's most likely Renle Mountain. Gu Mian also knew that after leaving the match-3 game instance, the fortune teller had divined Renle Mountain's whereabouts for 007.

The result was that one of Ren Leshan's henchmen, the one called Qi Tian Xiao Sheng, disappeared, leaving only Lao Liu from Shengli Hardware by his side.

The environment where the two were located was very dark, and it seemed to be a warehouse or some other kind of place.

Looking back now, the amusement park's electrical room is quite similar to the environment the fortune teller predicted.

“Xiao Qiao went to the power distribution room yesterday and made a mess of it, but I still found some clues inside.” 007 said, holding out his hand to show Gu Mian what he was holding. “I found it under one of the bedding blankets.”

Gu Mian looked down and saw a photograph.

There are three people in the photo, each beaming a happy smile at the camera.

It's a family photo.

It wasn't anything special that it was just a family photo, but Gu Mian recognized one of the people in the photo as Old Liu from Victory Hardware. He must have dropped the family photo there.

“Something’s not right.” Gu Mian stared at the family photo in 007’s hand. “Ren Leshan and the others aren’t locals, but they seem to know that amusement park very well.”

The amusement park's electrical distribution room was built very discreetly, making it difficult for people to find.

Gu Mian knew where it was because her whole class had gone to that amusement park together when she was a child.

At that time, all the other students except him got on the roller coaster, but when the roller coaster was running at the most critical moment, the amusement park suddenly lost power, and all his friends were hanging upside down on the roller coaster, crying loudly.

The staff rushed to the power distribution room to check the switch. Gu Mian, who had never ridden a roller coaster, wanted to do something for her classmates, so she followed the staff to the power distribution room.

That's when he found out the location of the amusement park's electrical control room.

Xiao Qiao and 007 knew the location of the power distribution room because he had taken them there before.

But how did Renleshan and Lao Liu from Shengli Hardware find the power distribution room?
Moreover, there were two quilts inside. Who gave them these quilts?
“Someone familiar with this place helped them escape,” Gu Mian said after a moment’s thought.

007 nodded: "I feel the same way."

As she spoke, she smoothed out a corner of the group photo that had been rolled up in her hand. This corner seemed to have been creased for a long time, which was why it was always rolled up.

007 paused for a moment, looking at the photo in his hand, then asked, "Do you think the owner of the photo will come back?"

Except for one creased corner, the photo is well preserved, and its owner cherishes it very much.

The edges of the photo have faded, and it's clear that Lao Liu often takes it out and touches it.

"Will he come back for this photo?" Gu Mian pondered. He wasn't familiar with Lao Liu from Shengli Hardware and couldn't be sure if he would come back for the family photo, but one thing was certain.

"Even if that Victory Hardware guy, Lao Liu, comes back looking for me, Ren Leshan most likely won't come back with him."

Everyone knows what happened on those two levels of Renle Mountain in the match-3 game.

How could someone who would kill their own companions without hesitation possibly bring back a family photo of someone else?

007 sighed, realizing that his ideas were somewhat naive.

She withdrew her hand and put the family photo in her pocket: "When I went to the amusement park's electrical room, I passed by the drop tower..."

She hesitated for several seconds before continuing, "Um... I saw people on the drop tower."

Is Mr. Killer still up there? Xiao Qiao came back after using up all the electricity in her card, so the drop tower shouldn't have stopped exactly on the ground when the electricity was gone.

The machine should still be in mid-air when it stops.

Sure enough, 007 continued, "The drop tower was stopped in the middle, but when I went to check, Killer Teacher was no longer on it. There was only an upper-class person with a somewhat unfamiliar face left on it, motionless. He was probably dead."

"There were a few pieces of pink clothing hanging on the tower in the middle of the drop tower. There was blood on the pieces. Judging from the color of the clothes, they were left by the host called Killer Teacher. He probably climbed down the tower by himself after Xiao Qiao left."

Surprisingly, despite his short arms and legs, the teacher who was killing people was quite agile when climbing the drop tower.

This is not surprising; people often unleash tremendous potential when facing danger.

Moreover, the Killing Teacher was the only upper-class person on stage who hadn't had close contact with Gu Mian's chainsaw, and was still physically healthy, giving him the opportunity to climb down from there.

However, getting off the drop tower isn't the real skill; the real skill is surviving afterward.

This world doesn't offer any special treatment to the upper class, and he can't enter dungeons to earn game currency; he doesn't know when he might starve to death.

“Oh, right, I also saw some weapons on my way back… in Little Red’s hands.” 007 gestured, “The ones the Order Guard took, but they were all broken in two.”

Little Red spends all her time either tormenting Mr. Green or wandering around outside. She probably encountered the upper-class Order Guard who came to this world while wandering around, and became very interested in the weapons in the hands of the Order Guard.

He clearly treated those weapons like new toys, forcibly snatched them, and then ruined them, just like the toy car that Gu Mian wanted to give to Coach Che.

It's hard to imagine the look of utter disbelief on the faces of the security guards when they saw Xiao Hong snatch the toy from her bare hands.

That's good, I don't have to worry about being assassinated by the security forces when I go out anymore.

"Where did you meet Xiao Hong?" Gu Mian asked 007.

He still remembered that line from Louis XIV—"Grow like a ghost."

Today he specifically asked his older brother how the other person developed.

But her brother could only say two words, so Gu Mian heard a string of "sister" from him.

Xiao Hong's speaking skills were better than her brother's. He originally wanted to ask Xiao Hong for advice, but she had disappeared early in the morning.

After hearing 007's words, Gu Mian realized that Xiao Hong had gone out to attack the evil upper class.

The cuckoo is coming! The evil cuckoo is going to attack you!
