Free Web NovelChapter 888: Chapter 852: Five Hundred Points!
In the Jinche Room, such a scene appeared, clearly indicating that the collapse of the Twilight Gods World had intensified.
As for the extent of the collapse, Gu Mian didn’t know either; it seemed serious this time, and it was uncertain if the Twilight Gods World could withstand it.
At this moment, the vibrations from the Jinche Room were becoming increasingly severe. Gu Mian saw the dim figures of the architecture outside the mist beginning to crumble, and the cracks appearing in the sky were getting closer.
The walls of the hall were tilting due to the vibrations, and the door frames were skewed along with the walls, no longer conforming to the shape of the doors. The doors made sounds as they slowly disengaged from the frames, revealing more of the situation inside the Jinche Room to everyone.
Only then did the scorer realize that the vibrations were coming from the Jinche Room.
He, with a shocked expression, ran to the slanted greenhouse door and looked inside, unable to understand why the usually stable greenhouse looked like this now.
He still didn’t know about the possibility of the greenhouse being connected to other worlds and only thought that the inside was a false scene modeling.
"What is going on here?" He stared at the cracked sky in the Jinche Room for a while, suddenly feeling as though he understood something and looked at Gu Mian with resentment.
That look practically seemed to ask, "Did you do this?"
Gu Mian must have done something secretly here after tying me up on the second floor! He thought to himself.
Luckily, inside is just a scenic model, easy to repair, he thought, comforting himself.
But he was puzzled as to why the damage to the modeling would cause the hallway outside the greenhouse to shake as well?
Moreover, this feeling of vibration seemed to be getting stronger.
He wanted to ask Gu Mian what exactly he had done in the greenhouse, but in the blink of an eye, he could no longer find Gu Mian’s figure.
He struggled to look for Gu Mian amidst the shaking hall and finally spotted him at the doorway of the Detachment Room.
"Doctor, what did you just say? You want me to bury you?" Fatty, who didn’t understand, followed closely beside Gu Mian; he didn’t know what Gu Mian was doing digging that pit in the Detachment Room before, but now he understood.
"Yes." Gu Mian replied.
The situation in the Twilight Gods World was already far from optimistic, and it seemed to be affecting this place as well. This place, for some reason, was connected to the Twilight Gods World; the collapse of the Twilight Gods World could possibly cause this place to collapse in turn, making it extremely difficult to do anything then.
He needed to bury himself quickly.
Gu Mian had already instructed 007 that after he was buried, she should send the Big and Small Ghosts and the Shape-shifting Ghost who had completed the game to the stage for exhibition scoring.
The storm in the Detachment Room had long calmed down, and Gu Mian approached the pit he had earlier dug and handed the shovel in his hand to Fatty, before jumping in decisively: "Bury."
Though uncertain why Gu Mian wished to do this, Fatty complied.
As he buried and worried aloud: "Doctor, maybe leave your head out; I’m afraid you might suffocate down there... When can we dig you out, Doctor? I fear if this place collapses, it’ll be hard to dig you out later..."
The scorer was about to find Gu Mian for answers when he stumbled upon the bizarre sight of Fatty burying someone.
He was dumbstruck, and couldn’t help but let thoughts of betrayal and mutual killing come to mind, given how this instance seemed filled with people turning against one another.
But the scorer quickly dismissed the thought; kidding aside, betraying Gu Mian was out of the question, and besides, Gu Mian in the pit wasn’t struggling, instead seemed to be urging Fatty to bury him faster.
He suspected these two were secretly up to something, worried, he stepped forward to stop them: "What are you two doing!"
But as he took a step forward he felt a hand tightly grasp his shoulder from behind; turning to look, he saw 007 also gazing into the Detachment Room, she was the one holding him back.
The scorer tried to shake her hand off, but its grip was firm, and after struggling for a while, he couldn’t break free.
Frustrated, he looked up at 007: "Why are you holding me?"
still had her gaze on Gu Mian and Fatty in the Detachment Room, by this time Fatty had completely buried Gu Mian, taking care not to pack the soil too tightly, likely afraid of suffocating the one below. freewēbnoveℓ.com
After entirely covering Gu Mian with earth, Fatty squatted back down, attempting to converse through the soil layers: "Doctor, I get it, you’re treating yourself like a seed this time. But Doctor, you’re a person; burying you won’t make you sprout like a Ghost Seed and produce more Doctors. Doctor, can you hear me?"
Watching as Gu Mian was completely buried, 007 waited a while, yet there was no movement or sound from beneath.
Suddenly, a slab of ceiling collapsed down from above in the hall, plummeting towards 007 and the scorer below; 007 pulled the scorer aside, narrowly avoiding the falling debris.
Time was running out, any delay here could lead to an actual collapse soon.
She turned her gaze to the scorer she had held: "This earthquake is highly likely caused by Gu Mian..."
"Do you even need to say?" The scorer clapped both hands atop his head for safety from any additional falling debris, "It’s an obvious assessment, it must be his doing."
"No." 007 shook her head amidst the trembling hall, the shaking almost seemed grander than her head shaking gesture, "My point is, Gu Mian’s continual targeting by the real world, this instance’s earthquake is entirely because of his involvement, subjected to the targeting from the real world."
This was merely 007’s on-the-spot concoction in a moment of urgency; she needed the scorer to score quickly so they could leave the instance. She wasn’t like Gu Mian who could readily offer items adored by NPCs; she could only persuade through reasoning.
"So, once Gu Mian exits this place, the shaking should cease." She continued.
"Really?" The scorer, not too bright, already believing 007’s words by seventy to eighty percent.
"Anyway, having him stay yields no benefits for you." This statement from 007 was honestly not deceitful.
While speaking, 007 glanced again toward the Detachment Room, where the large door had fallen due to the shaking, crashing to the ground with a weighty sound. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Everything in the Detachment Room was visible, Fatty was still squatting, speaking to himself, while there was no movement from the underground Gu Mian.
furrowed her brows; the theory of being buried to rest should have been correct, but why after such a stretch did Gu Mian below exhibit no movement? Could there be an item like [Key No. 108 from the Mysterious World] underground, transferring Gu Mian away?
The scorer was well aware that 007’s final words were tremendously right, Gu Mian staying longer indeed wouldn’t benefit him anymore.
This time, it was merely an earthquake, in a while, a tsunami might come next.
Considering this, he resolutely clenched his fist: "Where are the ghosts, those two caught by Gu Mian?"
As long as someone reaches five hundred points, the instance is considered cleared, and all players exit together.
At which moment, he would be free of that cursed Gu Mian.
pointed to the millstone nearby: "The ghosts are there."
Fatty had invested over a thousand Game Coins, and the millstone had not disappeared yet.
The two ghosts were diligently pushing the millstone together, appearing quite vigorous.
The scorer barged in heedlessly, seizing the Shape-shifting Ghost whom he deemed valuable, pulling it towards the exhibition stage.
The exhibition rack on the stage had toppled due to the vibrations, but that wasn’t a big issue, he just needed to be on the stage with the ghost for scoring.
The scorer pulled along the Shape-shifting Ghost, like managing a beam illuminating the dark night.
Dodging falling debris, weaving through collapsing models, he arduously moved with his light towards the stage. Finally, he and his light reached the exhibition stage.
At last, he revealed his first genuine smile since the instance began—"Haha"
During the earth’s vibrations, amidst the sky’s rumble, he held up the Shape-shifting Ghost’s hand high, loudly proclaiming: "Five Hundred Points!"
