Global Collapse-Chapter 598 - 566: This Month is About to End_1
Gu Mian, on the tower, also noticed the enormous creature charging towards him.
Its body was massive. Each step it took caused the nearby garbage mounds to tremble slightly, sending bits and pieces rolling down from the top.
He looked with curiosity at the monster that had suddenly appeared. He had seen this thing before.
When Gu Mian and his three useless save points took on an instance, Gu Mian was using a computer to control a character named "Holy Daughter" and moving around in the abandoned Cannibal Village. He had seen this monster there before.
Back then, this thing had chased him relentlessly, even scraping off a layer of his health.
Later, a goddess appeared. She forcibly compressed the instance into a Human CD to give to Gu Mian and even gifted him a relative.
Due to the Human CD's instability, Gu Mian had never dared to enter it. He had always assumed the goddess had also compressed this monster into the CD, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
So it turns out this monster was thrown into the recycling bin by the goddess…
The appearance of this creature was entirely unexpected. Even the demon trailing behind wore a stupefied expression.
Gu Mian watched the monster's direction of advance, feeling as if it was charging right at him.
You've got to be kidding me, he silently observed the enormous beast. It couldn't catch me in the last instance, so now it's continuing the chase in this one?
This was beyond the scope of anything he'd imagined.
Gu Mian was stuck up here, unable to move an inch. Wasn't he about to be grabbed and roughed up by it?
At this thought, he grew restless. He even considered asking the Fortune-teller if there were any leftover bombs or similar items.
Unfortunately, the Fortune-teller was far away and couldn't hear Gu Mian's call.
Frowning, Chu Changge strode purposefully in the direction the Believer had departed. Xiao Qiao, having heard the commotion and run over, was at his side.
His concern was not for Gu Mian; he was worried about something else…
Xiao Qiao's voice, full of excitement, came from nearby, "It can run! It can run!"
As she spoke, she began to jog uphill towards the tower. It seemed she had finally found the 'running trash' she'd been looking for.
Chu Changge held back the eager Xiao Qiao, glancing at the Believer's towering silhouette. "A Believer of the goddess possesses tremendous destructive power and will destroy any obstacle blocking its path to the goddess."
Other things could be overlooked. But if the few checkpoints on the track were destroyed, the princess would be freed. The instance might end directly, or it could collapse entirely. Moreover, in Angel Redemption, the 'brother' immediately recognized Gu Mian as his sister. This suggested Gu Mian might share some similarities with the goddess. Judging by the Believer's current behavior, there was an eighty percent chance it had mistaken Gu Mian for someone else. It would undoubtedly break through the checkpoints on the track to find Gu Mian. But they had only just entered the recycling bin; they hadn't even gotten a whiff of the clown mask yet. If the instance ended now, they would gain nothing.
"We need to stop it," Chu Changge said, taking a few more steps forward. He suddenly remembered something. "Gu Mian's Human CD…"
Since the Human CD could contain the 'brother', perhaps it could contain this thing too. But the CD is currently with Gu Mian…
Just as Chu Changge was pondering this, he caught a glimpse of an ash-haired man clutching a CD passing by.
It was the very 'brother' Gu Mian had tossed down from the tower earlier. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
He was rushing quickly in the direction the Believer had gone, clearly chasing it.
However, the Believer was enormous, covering several meters with each stride. Catching up without a vehicle would be difficult.
There were some vehicles in the recycling bin, but they were all scrap, slower than running on foot.
Chu Changge turned to Xiao Qiao. "Do you have any special items that can stop that thing?"
Xiao Qiao thoughtfully rummaged through her inventory, finally taking out a form.
[Ghost Population Survey Form]
[Introduction: The nation's third Ghost Population Survey Form.]
[Function: When this form is used, nearby spiritual bodies will voluntarily assemble and fill in their names on the form.]
Sure enough, as soon as she took out the form, the 'brother' who had been running ahead stopped, turned, and ran towards them.
However, the Believer up ahead showed no reaction at all, continuing on its way.
Seeing this, Xiao Qiao reluctantly put away the survey form. "It seems it's not a ghost, so this won't stop it."
Chu Changge massaged his forehead. "Isn't there anything else that can stop it? The Human CD might be able to contain it."
007 and Fatty ran over just in time to hear this. 007 immediately volunteered to try, taking out a map as she spoke.
[Mobius's Maze]
[Introduction: A maze from which escape is impossible, also known as a Ghost Wall.]
[Function: Creatures entering this maze will always return to the starting point. Can be forcibly destroyed to allow exit. Ineffective against creatures that can phase through walls, teleport, burrow, or climb walls, and so on…]
It was a seemingly useless maze, perhaps unable to even stop a person, but it could at least buy some time.
After 007 took out the map, a huge maze descended from the sky, enveloping them and the nearby garbage mounds. The Believer up ahead was also caught within it.
But it didn't obediently navigate the maze; instead, it began to destroy it with brute force.
Its two pairs of secondary arms began to swing, smashing against the walls. Within seconds, they had created a huge dent in the wall before it.
The group behind quickly ran towards the Believer.
The 'brother', clutching the CD, ran at the forefront, looking quite eager to 'reunite' with the creature ahead.
But the Believer's destructive power was too immense. In no time, the wall before it CRASHED down. The colossal monster took two steps forward and began smashing the second wall.
"When we trapped it, it was already at the edge of the maze! If this wall is smashed, it'll get out!" 007 raised her voice.
They were currently hundreds of meters away from the Believer; they probably wouldn't reach it in time.
Seeing that the outermost wall was about to be broken through, 007 suddenly asked, "We just need to get the Human CD near it, right?"
Everyone turned to look at her. They saw that she had, at some point, taken out a bow and arrow, and had even snatched the Human CD from the 'brother'.
She took out a roll of bandages, quickly wrapped the Human CD to the arrowhead, then drew the bow forcefully and shot forward.
The arrow shot forward with great power, carrying the Human CD, and lodged itself directly in the monster's buttocks.
The monster didn't howl, but Fatty, beside them, exclaimed, "Holy crap, you know archery?"
"Just a hobby," 007 replied.
Before Fatty could express further surprise at 007's hobby, they saw the Human CD lodged in the monster's butt begin to glow. It generated a powerful suction force and was slowly engulfing the massive monster.
