Global Collapse-Chapter 628 - 596: Mike Gaga’s Miserable Life_1

"What do you think?" Gu Mian didn't answer directly. He estimated the time; he had been here for quite a while already.

He didn't want to continue showing off here. He also didn't want to tell these kids how fragile the barriers of the Forbidden Zone were—how they'd be shattered with a slight touch.

There were more important matters to attend to now.

Gu Mian needed to find the Circus Team Leader; he had come to this instance specifically to find this important NPC.

Mike was still looking at Gu Mian in disbelief, constantly doubting what he knew about the Forbidden Zone.

"Alright," Gu Mian said, somewhat impatiently tugging Mike a few steps towards the edge of the rooftop. "I don't want to waste any more time. If you answer my questions honestly, I can let you die a bit more peacefully."

Before Mike could respond, Gu Mian asked his question, "Where is Team Leader Lu Yi's office?"

If Lu Yi wasn't in the audience seats, he was very likely in his office.

Considering Lu Yi didn't visit this place often, he might not have an office here. After thinking for a couple of seconds, Gu Mian added, "Or is there a lounge here?"

A peculiar expression crossed Mike's face.

This Lower Class Person had only just arrived and was already asking for the Circus Team Leader's location.

Some children had also come during previous carnivals, and they knew Team Leader Lu Yi wasn't in the audience seats during performances. No one knew where he actually was.

Mike's eyes darted around for a few moments, then a smile spread across his face. "You want to find Uncle Lu Yi? I know where he is. I can take you there."

As long as I can get out of here, Mike thought, everything else can be dealt with. Then I can get people to capture this despicable Lower Class Person!

Hearing this, Gu Mian also broke into an amiable smile. "It's not that I absolutely have to ask you. I could find it myself if I searched carefully. I only asked you because I thought I could make use of trash. But now, it seems you have no value left to exploit."

As he spoke, he reached into his guitar case.

Meanwhile, the children behind him had launched several more sneak attacks, but none had succeeded.

After kicking over a child who lunged at him, Gu Mian pulled out a gleaming weapon that had been hidden in his guitar case.

Staring at the saw glittering under the sunlight, Mike's head buzzed.

He even began to doubt his own eyes, wondering if the scene before him was real. It wasn't until the man flipped the switch on the electric saw, and its loud roar echoed across the rooftop, that Mike was sure he wasn't hallucinating.

"You... you..." Mike's mouth fell open. He stumbled backward and landed hard on his bottom.

The other children reacted similarly.

The usually arrogant Upper Class children were now all sitting on the ground, their earlier insolent expressions gone.

They truly hadn't expected him to pull something like *that* from a guitar case.

This man is really going to kill us!

At that moment, an intense chill surged through their hearts. Watching the electric saw roaring in the sunlight, their fear reached its absolute peak.

"Excuse me," Gu Mian said politely, "but I need to silence some witnesses, so I'll have to trouble you to die first." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The surrounding children scattered, scrambling and crawling away. Two of them even rushed to the rooftop door, banging on it and screaming "Help!", but the adults were happily engrossed in the show in the audience seats and couldn't hear their cries from the rooftop.

The chains meant to prevent Lower Class People from escaping had, in the end, trapped the children themselves.

Gu Mian, carrying the saw, walked towards Mike, who was closest to him.

"Wait!" Mike, his face deathly pale and lips trembling, stammered, "My parents are powerful and influential! If you let me go, I can spare your life when I get out..."

Gu Mian: "..."

Spoken like a true Upper Class Person, Gu Mian thought. Even when begging for his life, his words are full of threats.

"No!" Seemingly realizing his poor choice of words, Mike corrected himself, "If you let me go, my parents can let you enjoy everything Upper Class People do! You might even have a chance to become an Upper Class Person in the future!"

What a grand plan to transform a Lower Class Person, Gu Mian mused.

Of course, Gu Mian didn't believe his bullshit. He remembered how Jin Hu had been deceived by similar lies, waiting faithfully in the Forbidden Zone for many years, only to die a miserable death.

Seeing that the man wasn't swayed by his empty promises, Mike's lips quivered, and a fierce look appeared in his eyes. "Actually, there was a Lower Class Person just like you before."

Like me? Gu Mian paused.

"He was arrogant, thinking he was born to change everything, so he was disrespectful to Upper Class People. His end, of course, was tragic..."

"Have you ever seen someone fall from a great height and get smashed into a meat patty?" a low voice suddenly interjected from the side.

Gu Mian turned to see another child standing not far to his side, staring intently at him, eyes full of menace. "That was his end. After enduring endless torture, he was thrown from a building dozens of stories high. When he hit the ground, his limbs were scattered over ten meters apart. You don't want to end up like that, do you?"

Gu Mian paused.

Seeing Gu Mian stop, the children grew excited.

He's scared!

So, the children began to press their advantage, trying to appeal to his reason and fear. Even the two who had fled to the door returned. They surrounded Gu Mian, their voices laced with threats.

"Brains splattering everywhere, head separated from the body... just thinking about it is exciting, isn't it?"

"When he hit the ground, his eyes were wide open. He died with his eyes open, unable to rest in peace."

"He definitely regretted it," Mike said, his eyes glinting with a strange light. His face drew closer and closer to Gu Mian's, his tone increasingly smug. "It's been a long time since we've seen such a sight. What a shame. I wonder who will have the honor of letting us witness it again."

As he spoke, his face was almost touching Gu Mian's, his eyes fixed on him with a provocative and self-satisfied smirk.

He stared at Gu Mian, opening his mouth to say more.

But before any sound came out, Mike felt his collar tighten, followed by a dizzying sensation of weightlessness.

The last sights of his life were the building seemingly rushing upwards and the ground rapidly approaching.

THUD!

With that massive impact, the life of this Upper Class child came to an end.

Gu Mian stood at the edge of the rooftop, casually dusting off his hands as he looked down at Mike, now a splatter on the pavement below. "Well, now you've seen it again, haven't you?"
