Global Collapse-Chapter 638 - 606: Lu Yi Gradually Losing His Mind_1
Oh, how the Upper Class People were cursing others as perverts. What a ridiculous scene. Had there been any spectators present, they would surely have laughed out loud. Unfortunately, all the spectators were beneath the stage, taking in the riotous spectacle of the carnival. None of them realized that a grand drama entitled "The Upper Class Accusing The Perverts" was unfolding above them.
Speaking of which, it seemed 007 would be going on stage soon. Gu Mian took a glance outside the window. Once this beheading program was over, it would be 007's time to shine.
Unaware of Gu Mian's distraction, Teacher Slaughter continued to holler from behind Lu Yi, "You're lucky to have escaped the Slaughter Game. But I'm afraid your luck has run out now! I'm going to call someone to seize you. The audience really loves you; they can't wait to see you again."
"Furthermore, you have killed five of the Upper Class People." As he said this, Teacher Slaughter's voice grew strained, his teeth gritted. He wasn't mourning the deceased but was enraged that the dignity of the Upper Class People had been challenged. "Now, the audience is even more excited to witness your wretched death."
Gu Mian was indeed popular in this world. After the Slaughter Game was suspended, an audience member had tallied a list of the "Most Popular Lower Class People in the Slaughter Game." Gu Mian was at the top. This ranking mirrored the official in-game bounty list. How ironic.
Of course, the Upper Class People did not hold this affinity out of kindness. They merely wished to witness Gu Mian's struggle in his final moments. But the Slaughter Game ended prematurely, and they were unable to witness Gu Mian's death. This became a regret among the audience members. It's said that what one can't obtain is always the most desirable. Hence, Gu Mian became a figure forever missed by the Upper Class People.
Just as Teacher Slaughter prepared to flee and call for help, Lu Yi suddenly dropped his cigarette and clutched Teacher Slaughter's collar. "What are you doing!" Teacher Slaughter looked up at Lu Yi. "You're not trying to stop me from having him captured, are you?"
Teacher Slaughter always knew that Lu Yi's head wasn't quite right, but he never imagined that Lu Yi would obstruct him on this matter. The Upper Class People must stick together and look down upon the Lower Class People together. Lu Yi was pulling at Teacher Slaughter's collar, his gaze not on him but fixed on the still-smoldering cigarette butt on the ground. "He fooled you."
Gu Mian raised an eyebrow. This remark was aimed at Teacher Slaughter. It's true, I did fool Teacher Slaughter, but how would Lu Yi know about this...
He fooled me? Upon hearing this, Teacher Slaughter was rather puzzled. "Wasn't it him who killed those people?" He didn't, for a moment, consider the destruction of the forbidden zone.
Gu Mian raised his hand. "I didn't fool you about that. I did kill them."
Hearing this, Teacher Slaughter shrank further behind Lu Yi. "Big words!"
"He fooled you," Lu Yi finally turned his head to look at Teacher Slaughter. "The clothes he's wearing... Jin Hu didn't give them to him because he looked cold..."
"I know that," Teacher Slaughter snorted. Jin Hu would never be so kind-hearted. Obviously, this Lower Class Person must have stolen them when Jin Hu wasn't paying attention.
Then, Lu Yi's voice came again, "He forcibly stripped them off Jin Hu."
"I know that... What?" Teacher Slaughter widened his eyes, unable to comprehend for a long moment. "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Jin Hu had died even before Gu Mian entered the forbidden zone. What Gu Mian had seen later was nothing more than a resentful spirit, a walking corpse. Teacher Slaughter, of course, knew this. So he was convinced that a living person who entered the forbidden zone could never pose a threat to Jin Hu. What threat could a living person pose to a dead one? Could they kill the dead again?
Just as he was thinking about Jin Hu, the voice of the Circus leader beside him sounded again. "Have you ever wondered how he managed to reach the twelfth floor of the hospital?" Lu Yi asked, his expression calm and unreadable.
Teacher Slaughter certainly had wondered. He eventually guessed that this Lower Class Person had been lucky enough not to encounter any monsters upon entering the hospital and had thus miraculously reached the twelfth floor. Of course, he didn't know that Gu Mian and the word "luck" were practically strangers.
"He was just lucky," Teacher Slaughter said simply. Even he felt this inference was questionable. He didn't like attributing everything to luck, but aside from that, there seemed to be no other reasonable explanation.
"No," Lu Yi denied Teacher Slaughter's theory. "He was chased by a group of monsters from the first floor to the twelfth, wielding a chair leg. The chase was intense."
Good heavens, that was quite detailed. How did he know? Gu Mian wondered. He had almost forgotten about wielding a chair leg as a weapon in the Slaughter Game, yet Lu Yi knew about it and remembered it so clearly. He was already scrutinizing Lu Yi closely, surmising inwardly, Could this be Chu Changge in disguise?
Teacher Slaughter's lips trembled, his expression as if he'd seen a ghost. "What devil's talk is this!"
From "nonsense" to "devil's talk," it seemed Teacher Slaughter thought Lu Yi's condition had worsened.
Unaffected by Teacher Slaughter's expression, which suggested he thought Lu Yi was insane, Lu Yi continued, "The Evil God Statue was not shattered by Jin Hu."
Gu Mian paused slightly, then guiltily averted his gaze. High-level NPCs sure are tough, exposing my secrets as soon as they show up.
"The statue was shattered when he crashed into it headfirst," Lu Yi continued explaining to Teacher Slaughter.
This description is quite humiliating, Gu Mian thought, then immediately clarified, "It's not like I wanted to crash into it. It's all Jin Hu's fault!"
At this point, Teacher Slaughter was already dizzy. He had no energy left to think about which part of Gu Mian had hit the statue. "So, what you're saying is that this Lower Class Person is quite impressive? Not only did he bravely ascend to the twelfth floor of the hospital barehanded, but he also shattered the Evil God Statue with his head? Oh, and he forcefully stripped the clothes off a living corpse? You're not telling me all this expecting me to applaud him, are you?" Lu Yi has gone mad, Teacher Slaughter thought. He needs to see a doctor, quickly.
Teacher Slaughter felt that everything today was very strange. First, five Upper Class children had died. Then, he'd encountered a man who should have died in the Slaughter Game. And now, this Lower Class Person was acting so aberrantly, and Lu Yi had promptly followed suit by going mad.
