Global Collapse

Chapter 875 You must be cut off completely!

There are two little figures in the room with the empty space, representing Gu Mian and Liu Ruyan.

007 is thinking as he looks at the squares on the chessboard.

It seems that once a piece enters the room, an introduction will appear on the corresponding square on the chessboard.

Are there many empty spaces on the chessboard? If there are many empty spaces, the survival rate of the pieces will be greatly increased.

Can the players in the other three rooms also see the room's description? Or is it only visible to the corresponding player?

She knew she didn't need to wonder for long. Once the pieces in the second initial room moved, she would know whether the room description was visible to everyone or only to the player who was playing the piece.

If she can see the introduction of the pieces entering the room in the second initial room, it means that the information in these rooms is public information and can be seen by all players.

She realized that she had already sent their room information to Gu Mian and Liu Ruyan through a group chat of ten people.

"It really is just an empty room." Liu Ruyan looked somewhat disappointed. "I thought it would be some kind of invisible ghost that would lower our guard and then suddenly jump out to scare us or something."

If what Liu Ruyan said is true, then the only thing that invisible ghost can do is scare them, because once Gu Mian jumps over, she will immediately become angry and attack.

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan looked at the countdown above her head and said, "What a boring game. I don't know what the other three groups are going to do. I can only wait here for them to make their move."

At least they could still contact the chess player 007 through group chat, while the other three groups of chess pieces were completely in the dark. After leaving the initial room, their lives were entirely in the hands of the chess player.

The countdown above their heads had already passed for more than a minute. Liu Ruyan leaned against the wall, bored: "I wonder if the remaining chess pieces in the room have started to move yet."

As she spoke, she turned to look at Gu Mian, stared at her for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "There's no one else here. Aren't you curious about what happened between Chu Changge and Xie Bi'an?"

This is quite a leap in topic.

It's clear that Liu Ruyan really wants to tell Gu Mian about their gossip, and she almost wants to force Gu Mian to buy her something on the spot.

Gu Mian shook her head: "I'm not curious."

Liu Ruyan sighed and shook her head: "It's really heartbreaking that they don't care about what's happening to their good friend."

"Hehe." Gu Mian only replied with a perfunctory laugh.

The two waited idly in the room, while 007 stared intently at the screen in front of the chessboard in the starting room.

At this point, the pieces in the second initial room have already made a move.

A small figure representing a chess piece moved two squares to the right. The player in this room clearly hadn't drawn the "enemies are destined to meet" bonus, so they could only field one piece at a time.

She watched as the chess piece moved two squares to the right and stopped. Then she saw a change in the square where the piece had stopped.

[Teleportation Grid]

The chess pieces remaining in this room will be randomly teleported to other rooms on the chessboard, so Mom won't have to worry about me not being fast enough anymore!

"What?" 007 looked at the room displayed in the grid and realized that there was such a thing as a teleportation grid.

Seeing this, she remembered the wish that Gu Mian had jokingly made before entering this instance.

007 took a deep breath: "This dungeon actually has a teleportation attribute."

Will it really be as Gu Mian said, that after leaving the instance, I will be teleported to the vicinity of Renle Mountain, or will Renle Mountain be directly pulled into this instance?
Thinking of this, 007 looked at the other three initial rooms on the chessboard again. Could Renle Mountain be in one of these three rooms?
At this moment, 007 noticed that the room that the second piece had passed through also had an introduction. The second piece moved forward two rooms and entered the teleportation grid, but it did not stop in the room in front of the teleportation grid. However, an introduction also appeared in that room.

"It seems that even if you just pass by, the corresponding square on the chessboard will have an explanation." 007 looked at the explanation in the room.

[Gold Coin Grid]

[As its name suggests, this is a great grid that gives you game coins. You don't need to play games with the ghost like betting, answering questions, or imitating; just staying in this room will earn you rewards! It's already so dangerous here, what's a little extra money!]

It is a square that is completely advantageous to the player, with no danger whatsoever.

Unfortunately, the second piece didn't stop here, but went directly into the teleportation grid behind it.

At this moment, the chess piece in room number two has been moved to another square.

007 watched as the chess piece was teleported to a room very close to them.

If we take the initial room where you are currently located as the top left corner, then the room where the piece is teleported is the third row from the top and the third room from the left.

It was very close to her, and also very close to Gu Mian and the other person.

If the chess piece intends to move in their direction, it should be able to meet Gu Mian and her companion in just a couple of moves.

At this point, an introduction appeared for the new room where the second chess piece was located.

[Question and Answer Format]

[Welcome to this room, you learned soul. In this room dwells a curious ghost who will pose a question to any chess piece residing there. A successful answer brings a reward, while a failed answer results in death.]

At the same time, a ghost symbol with a question mark on its head appeared in the room, presumably representing the inquisitive ghost.

Unfortunately, the player cannot see the specific situation in the other rooms, nor does he know what questions the inquisitive ghost will ask, or whether the chess pieces entering those rooms can successfully answer them.

Meanwhile, the pieces in room number three have also begun to move.

The player holding the chess pieces has one minute to roll the dice. 007 thought that even if the player holding the chess pieces in room three wanted to stop and watch the quiz show, he would have to roll the dice before the countdown ended.

Just as the third chess piece began to move, 007 saw a line of text appear in the room of the Q&A Ghost.

[The chess piece successfully answered the question and received a reward.]

The answers were quick, either the questions from the Q&A ghost were very simple, or the second chess piece was extremely knowledgeable. But thinking about the performance of the three people in room number two during the preparation, 007 felt that the people in that room were unlikely to be extremely knowledgeable, but in any case, the second chess piece saved his life.

007 then went to check the movement of piece number three.

The third piece only moved up one space, which means the player in room three rolled a number one and chose to move the piece up.

And an introduction appeared in that square.

So tired

I'm so tired, so tired. Walking is too tiring. I'd like to rest here for a bit.

A piece that remains on its own square will remain stationary for one turn.

007 silently looked at the names of these squares and felt that the names were a bit too arbitrary.

After piece number three made its move, piece number four quickly followed suit.

The player in room number four also rolled a 1, and the number four piece moved down one space.

[Trap Room] [Life is full of traps, and this is one of them. Congratulations on arriving at the Trap Room. There is a ghost in this room who has set up traps in advance. If you unfortunately fall into a trap, your life will end here. If you leave this room without stepping into a trap, you will receive a reward.]

Without any explanation of the trap compartments' contents, 007 frowned as he looked at the descriptions, wondering what kind of challenges awaited him in the room.

Before she could even guess what was inside the trap compartment, another line of text appeared.

The piece has fallen into a trap and is dead.

So fast?
It's only been half a minute since the fourth piece entered this room, and it's already fallen into the trap set by the trap ghost?

007 thinks the Trap Ghost should be a troublesome existence.

Then new text appeared on the screen.

[The first round of operations has ended. We will now have a one-minute break before the second round begins.]

Since all four groups of players and pieces have already made their moves, we now have a break. The second round of actions will begin in their room number one.

007 briefly and concisely informed Gu Mian and the other person about the situation of the other three groups in the group chat, while pondering the identities of the people in the other three groups.

If Ren Leshan is indeed in this instance, then his position is most likely the chess player, and he should be in room three or four.

Because the people in rooms three and four were very decisive when choosing their identities, while the people in room two kept dragging their feet until the system helped them choose, room two was not like Renle Mountain's style.

While 007 was pondering the identities of the other three groups, Gu Mian and Liu Ruyan were also discussing the other three groups.

“One of the pieces in the fourth group died right away,” Liu Ruyan looked up at the countdown on the ceiling. The countdown had now gone from ten minutes to one minute. “We actually ran into a dangerous room with traps as soon as we stepped out. It seems we’re pretty lucky. We’re the only group in the first round to encounter an empty room.”

Gu Mian looked at the message sent by 007 in the group chat.

Group Two crossed the coin square and entered the teleportation square, which teleported them to a square very close to their own. There was also a question-and-answer ghost in that square. Objectively speaking, Group Two was the unluckiest, as they encountered two special squares with just one step.

Gu Mian imagined an 8x8 chessboard in her mind and found the current positions of the four 605 rooms and the two sets of chess pieces on it.

The second set of pieces is currently very close to two of the 605 rooms. He only needs to move down one step to enter one of the 605 rooms.

If the piece doesn't move down, but instead moves two steps to the right, it can also enter another room, 605.

If the evil god is in these two rooms, and the two sets of chess pieces happen to enter, it's unknown whether the evil god's information will appear on the grid.

Of course, the second group's choices are not limited to down and right; they can also go up or left.

That means they're heading straight for them.

“If we run into the pieces of those two groups, a fight is inevitable,” Liu Ruyan thought about the possibility of the two groups meeting. “After all, each group is in competition with the others. If we are defeated, there will be one less group competing with them for the treasure chest hidden on the chessboard.”

“The second group is unlikely to come,” Gu Mian said. “As long as the player in the second group has any sense, he won’t let his pieces touch us.”

Liu Ruyan straightened up and patted her clothes: "That's right. After all, we are acting together as a pair, and it's shown on the chessboard. I think the players in the other groups can probably see that we are together as well."

Although the second group did not perform well in preparation, most normal people can tell which side is more advantageous in a one-on-two match.

However, there is another possibility...

"The piece in room three has entered a trap square and can't move next round; the piece in room four has entered a trap square and is instantly killed. All four groups have lost a piece and will have to send out a second piece next round. It seems that the three and four groups, who were the most decisive at the beginning, are now in a disadvantageous situation, while our group and the second group have the most advantage." Liu Ruyan clicked her tongue.

This shows that luck is even more important in this dungeon. Maybe the second group, whom they least expected to win, will have incredible luck and get the treasure chest in the next round.

Gu Mian thought it was quite possible.

The room here is sealed on all six sides. To get out, you would have to dig through the wall, which would be difficult even if you had a chainsaw, let alone since the chainsaw is not in your possession right now.

Gu Mian could hardly move an inch here, and could only hope that the treasure chest would not be found so quickly, at least not before he found the evil god.

Just as Gu Mian was pondering, the one-minute countdown on the ceiling ended, and the second round of operations began.

Before long, he saw a door appear on the wall in front of him, and at the same time, new content appeared on the LED screen above his head.

[The player has made their choice. Please leave the room with your piece within one minute.]

Then came a 60-second countdown.

Gu Mian knew that 007 had finished rolling the dice and planned their route.

"Let's go," Gu Mian said, walking towards the door.

I wonder what number 007 rolled this time, and what the next room will hold.

With anticipation for the next room, Gu Mian opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw another door on the wall in front of the room. It seemed that 007 had rolled a two, and they needed to move forward two spaces.

But what puzzled Gu Mian was that the room in front of them was also completely empty, just like the room they had just been in.

Liu Ruyan stepped in: "Another empty room? Your luck is a bit too good."

Gu Mian also felt that his luck was a bit too good. He had originally prepared himself for one death after another.

"Keep going." Gu Mian quickly arrived at the next door and opened it.

Surprisingly, it was still an empty room.

This is truly unbelievable.

In a chessboard filled with ghosts, how could three consecutive squares be empty rooms? That's too uncanny.

The other three groups can access special rooms one step at a time, so how come all the empty rooms in this instance are on their side?
At this moment, Gu Mian and Liu Ruyan had finished their mission and arrived at the new room.

007 in the initial room was also puzzled. She repeatedly checked the three squares that Gu Mian and Liu Ruyan had passed through and came to the conclusion that there were three empty squares.

Now it was the turn of the player in the second initial room in the lower left corner to roll the dice, but the player in the second group was obviously shocked by the three empty spaces above his head, and he hesitated to roll the dice to make a choice.

It was quite a while before 007 saw the pieces in the second group begin to move.

The pieces in the second group moved one square to the right, without moving up or to the left.

It seems that Group Two has no intention of approaching this area. 007 stares at the room that Group Two's pieces have just entered.

【Two-part format】

[You must sever all ties! There is a jealous ghost in the room who cannot bear to see others together in groups. When two or more pieces remain in this room, only one can leave alive.]
