Global Collapse

Chapter 924 If I'm chased by a ghost, I, An Zhitinglan, will turn around and push you out to be my scapegoat.

"One punch will send you to your death." Guigu recognized the clothes.

It was indeed him. Anzhi Tinglan had already figured it out. She felt something was wrong when the rat said that he could send you to the Western Paradise with a single punch.

By connecting the clues from before, Anzhitinglan was able to figure out what had happened.

"One Punch Sends You to the Western Paradise" was probably already caught and killed by a ghost. The ghost had been dragging his headless corpse around. When it wandered to the elevator, it was seen by a cat that loves to eat mice. The cat saw the corpse's clothes and thought that "One Punch Sends You to the Western Paradise" was passing by.

As for why the ghost returned with the headless corpse, and why it chased her all the way here before inexplicably leaving, she still couldn't figure it out.

Then she turned her gaze back to Guigu: "Have you encountered any other people since you entered this instance?"

What Anzhi Tinglan really wanted to ask wasn't that.

"I didn't see a single one; the only useful thing I saw was this visual impairment area."

After listening to his reply, An Zhitinglan remained silent for a while before finally asking the question she most wanted to ask: "Gu Mian came in too?"

Guigu knew that the feud between Anzhitinglan and Gu Mian didn't start from the last instance, but had existed for a long time, which was why she cared so much about Gu Mian: "I don't know, but when special instances are used to recruit people, they recruit people in a group in one area, and he probably came in too."

However, Guigu felt that this special instance was too coincidental.

It brought people in from Gu Mian's apartment, people in from the Huluwa base, and even Anzhitinglan, who was nowhere to be found.

Upon closer reflection, it seems like everyone knows each other.

I wonder how many players were brought in this time. Are the people not on the list also people who know each other?

At this moment, Anzhi Tinglan asked the same question again: "Do you know what those claw machines with green dolls outside are all about?"

Upon first seeing the claw machines, Anzhi Tinglan naturally assumed they were an important part of the dungeon. After all, the dungeon was related to claw machines, so the claw machines were naturally a key clue.

But the green hat dog plush toys stuffed inside made her suspicious.

She didn't understand why the plush toy in the copy claw machine looked exactly like the one in Gu Mian's apartment. Her sixth sense told her that the claw machine was probably related to Gu Mian, and Gui Gu was a member of Gu Mian's small team, so he should know something about this.

Guigu had certainly seen the green-haired dog in the apartment that could run, jump, and talk, so when he saw the claw machine here, he immediately thought of Gu Mian.

He stayed in the apartment for some time and witnessed some things.

Things that don't belong there often appear out of nowhere in the apartment, and things that shouldn't happen happen.

This brings us to the story of Guigu waking up one day to find his bed transformed into an operating table, with the bedside table next to him becoming a sterile table filled with gleaming, cold, sharp surgical instruments.

He was startled, thinking he had entered a dungeon, but found that the surrounding environment had not changed. He was still in the apartment, and everyone else was living their normal lives—except for the fact that his bed had unfortunately died and been reborn as an operating table.

Guigu and Hao Laoshi initially thought the apartment was haunted, but the others seemed unfazed. In the end, Fatty hurriedly helped him swap a bed for one from another unused room, muttering something like, "The doctor poops, I wipe his butt," as he carried the bed.

This strange thing kept happening, but everyone got used to it.

From the reactions and words of others, Guigu roughly guessed that the strange things happening in the apartment were related to Gu Mian, and that she would create bizarre but not fatal things and objects.

He thought this must be some kind of skill that Gu Mian obtained in the dungeon.

Although he lived in an apartment, he knew he wasn't as familiar with Gu Mian as he was with others, and asking too many questions might arouse suspicion. Therefore, Gui Gu didn't ask Gu Mian in detail what kind of skill it was, and was relieved to know it wasn't a ghost. The moment he saw the green dog in the claw machine upon entering the dungeon, Gui Gu understood that it was probably another creation of Gu Mian, completely unrelated to the dungeon clues. These claw machines made him think Gu Mian had entered the dungeon, but without seeing her, he couldn't be completely certain.

Now that Anzhi Tinglan is asking him if he knows what those claw machines are all about, he doesn't want to reveal Gu Mian's secrets directly: "You don't need to worry about those, they were left behind by Gu Mian and the others using special items."

Anzhi Tinglan also sensed the hidden meaning in Guigu's words, but she didn't want to delve into the manufacturing principles of those claw machines; knowing that they weren't clues for the dungeon was enough for her.

The ghost has been gone for a long time, and the surroundings are shrouded in a deep silence. Now, Anzhi Tinglan is almost certain that the ghost will not return.

She moved a few steps closer to the mirror and picked up the flashlight that had fallen not far away.

The flashlight beam was reflected and prolonged by the surrounding mirrors, illuminating the entire visual error zone.

She shone the beam of light on Guigu's face, half of which was scorched, in the mirror: "Want to come together?"

The funny thing is, in the last dungeon she wanted to kill Guigu, but in this dungeon she enthusiastically invited him to team up with her.

It was because of Guigu's performance in the previous dungeon and the rat's evaluation that she felt comfortable teaming up with him.

In the previous instance, Guiguzi was wise and prioritized the safety of his pieces. Halfway through the previous instance, he definitely saw through the plot to kill him, but he did not recall his pieces to intercept the "assassin" he sent out. Instead, he focused on planning the safest route for his pieces.

In this instance, the rat loves to eat the cat and frankly admits that Guiguzi was their former base leader, protecting a group of clueless burdens who have survived to this day. However, the burdens seem to have quite a few complaints about him.

Is this the true Virgin Mary, or a Virgin Mary with wisdom?

Anzhi Tinglan didn't dislike the title "Saint Mother," and in fact, only teaming up with such a person could make her feel at ease.

At least you won't get stabbed in the back.

Guigu remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering the feasibility of teaming up with her.

Anzhi Tinglan understood his concerns. After all, Guigu was someone who had experienced the previous chessboard instance. Looking at her face, one could tell that she meant, "If I'm being chased by a ghost, I, Anzhi Tinglan, will turn around and push you out to be my scapegoat."

“I looked at the map of this floor of the mall next to the elevator,” To deal with the saint, you have to use the professional method. “You guessed that this mall is just a giant claw machine, right? The number of obstacles on each floor is the same as the area where we are hiding from the ghosts. So the mall has four floors.”
"The elevator is broken and can't be used. There is only one staircase that leads to other floors. I went to the location of the staircase, but the staircase entrance is in a dead end and blocked by a fire door. If one person goes in rashly, there may be a situation where the fire door cannot be opened and the way back is blocked by ghosts. At least two people are needed. One person guards the entrance and notifies the person in the dead end who is opening the door in advance to run out when they discover that a ghost is coming.

"The sooner you enter other floors to find clues, the sooner you'll find a way to clear the dungeon. Don't you want to clear the dungeon sooner?"

Guiguzi already said that.

Whether it was people from that base, Gu Mian and the others, or even himself, they were all people he knew and had a close relationship with.

The longer the instance lasts, the more people die, and these are all his close companions.

The gruesome headless corpse was now before him; could he simply watch the remaining people die a miserable death?

Of course not.

Anzhi Tinglan saw Guigu hesitate for a moment, then slowly nod.

However, as the saint nodded, she commented, "You really know how to use moral blackmail."

Haha, after all these years of procrastination, my bad habit is written all over my face. Everyone, look at my face! Doesn't it say, "If readers chase me with knives, I'll intermittently come back to life and push the editor out as a scapegoat"?
