Chapter 867: Chapter 831: There’s Another One Here
Gu Mian looked down silently at the Order Guard member lying at his feet.
They climbed the Pyramid at the last moment when he used the key, so naturally, they were brought into the real world due to the proximity.
Gu Mian had always been unlucky. Just after he returned to the real world and walked a few steps towards the apartment, he ran into an Order Guard member, who was armed.
It truly was a case of meeting love at the corner.
The member initially looked a bit confused, but as soon as he saw Gu Mian, he became excited and raised his weapon, ready to charge.
Gu Mian had intended to use the [Mother Summoner] to summon a random "mom" to block the opponent, but before he could use the Great Summoning Technique, a red figure dashed over from afar.
The figure barreled forward and soon rammed into the back of the Order Guard member in front of him, hitting him at the waist.
Gu Mian saw the poor person bend backward like a fragile plank, his upper and lower body folding, while his weapon fell to the ground and was stomped on and shattered by the crashing red figure.
After knocking over one person, the red figure aimlessly charged at Gu Mian again.
Gu Mian skillfully sidestepped, avoiding Xiao Hong’s iron-headed attack.
Xiao Hong skidded a considerable distance before coming to a stop.
"Such energy," Gu Mian commented.
Meanwhile, Keke sent a message in the group chat for ten people.
[Keke]: Just now, I was downstairs in the yard with Xiao Hong, when the Fortune-Teller passed by and mentioned Gu Mian was back. Xiao Hong flew out in a flash. Did anyone see where she went?
Here she is.
Gu Mian watched Xiao Hong, who had stopped her feet and come over again.
Xiao Hong circled him twice, seemingly inspecting if he had brought back any gifts.
Last time Gu Mian entered the Match Three instance, he had brought back a strawberry necklace for her. Xiao Hong liked it very much and held it in her mouth every day until she accidentally broke the chain, leaving her upset for quite a while.
Xiao Hong touched here and there, finally reaching the bulging guitar bag.
Gu Mian suddenly remembered that aside from the guitar, there seemed to be another creature in his bag.
Xiao Hong had already opened the guitar bag first, revealing a squashed green dog toy, which emitted a wailing cry.
Because it was too squashed, Xiao Hong thought it didn’t look good but reluctantly accepted the gift and grabbed the Doggie Doll’s head, pulling it from the guitar bag.
The Doggie Doll’s sobs grew louder.
Speaking of the Doggie Doll, it’s unclear if Hei, who followed Chu Changge and 007, had come to the real world.
Fatty said in the group chat that Chu Changge had already met him, but didn’t mention the mechanical dog Hei.
So it should be with 007, but 007 hasn’t spoken in the group chat yet, and her whereabouts are unknown.
There’s also Lu Yi, who they managed to rescue, but who knows where he was transported.
Gu Mian stopped heading for the apartment, deciding to search nearby first, trying to find them. Once he found Lu Yi, he had to discuss the Evil God wishing mechanism attached to him, as it was a constant trouble.
If he dreamed of the world ending at night and subconsciously believed the dream upon waking, who knows if the wishing mechanism would treat this subconscious thought as a wish.
It seemed that he would have to strive to save the world again.
As he thought this, he searched for 007 and Lu Yi nearby, with Xiao Hong following him, carrying the disheartened Doggie Doll.
But they didn’t find 007 and Lu Yi; instead, they encountered another disheartened person.
Mr. Green lay sprawled out in front of the supermarket door, with a few shop assistants watching the spectacle inside the store.
"What’s up with this little Green Dwarf? He suddenly appeared here, and when he was found, he was just lying here. He hasn’t moved for so long, hasn’t changed position; could he be dead?"
"He’s not dead; you see his eyes still blink."
"Maybe he’s tired and lying here for a rest. I remember a while ago, he seemed to follow that evil overlord around."
"Quiet, the overlord is here..."
Mr. Green lay on the ground looking at the sky, utterly disheartened.
Finally, finally, he had a chance to return to the instance, but now everything was ruined!
After all this effort, he only ended up with a "Paradise World seven-day tour" result.
Thinking about this, Mr. Green was almost heartbroken enough to cry, but then Gu Mian’s face suddenly appeared in his view, forcing Teacher Slaughter’s tears back.
He stumbled to his feet, about to speak, when he heard a terrified scream in the distance.
Moreover, the voice seemed familiar.
Mr. Green looked confusedly toward the source of the sound, seeing the amusement park in the distance.
Some facilities in the amusement park were very tall, even from a distance, you could see the soaring drop tower and roller coaster tracks, and not quite as tall, the Ferris wheel.
Wait, what’s up with the drop tower?
He watched from afar as the drop tower was operating up and down, rising rapidly like a spring and descending just as quickly, almost leaving afterimages.
The amusement park should have been shut down, with no functioning facilities.
He seemed to see a figure in one of the seats, a pink figure, who was screaming.
But the drop tower was moving too fast for him to see who it was.
"Teacher Slaughter." Gu Mian was also looking at the bouncing drop tower over there. Fatty said in the group chat that Teacher Slaughter was taken by Xiao Qiao to the amusement park to play games.
Although the amusement park wasn’t maintained, they could still turn on the equipment by bringing power cards bought from the supermarket to the power distribution room. Last time, a group of them brought power cards to the amusement park and played around.
It looks like Xiao Qiao has gotten Teacher Slaughter to play on the drop tower now.
Thanks to years of assassination experience, Gu Mian’s eyesight was slightly better than Mr. Green’s.
Xiao Qiao probably found pulling the safety bar too troublesome and couldn’t operate it, so she tied Teacher Slaughter to the seat with several bundles of electrical wire.
Electrical wire is not as safe as a safety bar.
After a few minutes of joyful play, the wires binding Teacher Slaughter were loosening, and Gu Mian, with his keen eyes, saw some ends of the wires falling off.
Once the wires fully unraveled, Teacher Slaughter’s fate would be entirely in his own hands.
This gameplay happened to be like the drop tower in a variety show, where some safety bars randomly rise at the top, then swiftly fall, ejecting anyone not protected by a safety bar.
Unfortunately, before the contestants could play this project, Teacher Slaughter had already started playing it.
As the Upper Class People, who tried to trick Xiao Qiao into sending them back to the Upper Class People area, dragged his injured leg into the amusement park, he saw this horrifying scene.
The drop tower wasn’t far from the entrance, and the control room for the machine had already been blown away by previous bad weather, with the door and roof blown off. You could see the situation inside at a glance.
He saw the silly-looking lower-class person excitedly manipulating the drop tower’s control lever up and down, as if playing some fun game, while the host was casually tied to the drop tower, screaming in terror at each manipulation.
Too terrifying... too terrifying...
The Upper Class People’s mind went blank for a moment; he thought of nothing but escaping this nightmarish place as soon as possible, avoiding capture by this pervert.
Thinking this, he flipped over, attempting to crawl in the direction he came from without making a sound.
But then the scream from the drop tower suddenly stopped, and the machine’s swift movement also came to a halt.
Then he heard a chilling voice behind him.
"Ah, there’s another one here."
