Global Collapse-Chapter 643 - 611: Servant, Engrave the Word "Virtue" on My Saw _1

Gu Mian analyzed, "It seems that ever since the Evil God Statue was discovered, this world has rarely been rolled back. Maybe it's because this world has finally stabilized? Or perhaps the Evil God Statue played a significant role in it."

"It comes from a time earlier than ours, but it has stepped into the future before us." Lu Yi recalled the Evil God Statue he had seen before. He couldn't remember the statue's face, and neither could anyone else.

Gu Mian nodded in agreement, "That's right, it's both the past and the future."

This Evil God Statue was not only capable of maintaining the forbidden zone's barrier but could even escape the world's rollbacks. It didn't seem useless at all. If the statue itself could do such things, its original body should be even more powerful.

How did it fall to the point where it had to hide its identity and be hunted down by others? Was it persecuted by the world? For a moment, Gu Mian related it to his own experiences. Isn't it true? My current situation isn't different from that of the Evil God's; both need to conceal their identities through the leaf brooch.

"So that's how it is…" Gu Mian heard Lu Yi murmuring to himself on the side.

He curiously leaned in, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yi looked at him, "When I became aware of the world's rollbacks, I had a suspicion. Now it seems that this suspicion is probably true."

What suspicion? Before Gu Mian could ask, Lu Yi spoke out, "I have once suspected the system of this world, the so-called system between the Upper Class People and the Lower Class People."

Wow. Gu Mian leaned back in surprise. Challenging the world system. Indeed, all the characters in these special scenarios were quite talented, always trying to push the world's boundaries. Jin Hu is like that, and Lu Yi too. Even Liu Ruyan, who came from the Old World, was very dissatisfied with her world's system.

"In fact, a long time ago, the relationship between Upper Class People and Lower Class People wasn't so terrible," Lu Yi used the term "terrible" to describe their relationship. "But interestingly, at some point, conflicts between Upper Class People and Lower Class People began to break out frequently, directly worsening the relationship between the two, leading to the situation we have today."

"The outbreak of conflict isn't something particularly suspicious, but the frequency of the conflicts at the time was too high, so high that it was eerie. I'll give you an example; you must have encountered some unlucky incidents usually, right?"

Gu Mian remained silent.

Unaware of Gu Mian's discomfort, Lu Yi continued, "But a normal person might have bad luck only once every six or seven days. You, on the other hand, in a short span of time, might be hit on the head by a flowerpot, then get into a car accident. Next, the ambulance has a tire burst, and the stretcher breaks on the way to the emergency room, causing a secondary injury. Then, the operating room suddenly loses power during surgery, and the surgeon faints from low blood sugar. Finally, after all that trouble to get home, your gas canister explodes."

Are you monitoring my house?

"So I suspect that the world was frequently creating save files during that period, only stopping after its desired storyline occurred. The current system between the Upper Class People and Lower Class People was single-handedly created by this world; it wants a world like this."

Why would it want a world like this? Is it the world's sick sense of humor?

"Wait," Gu Mian suddenly said, "This doesn't seem to be the world's original intention. We were just talking about games and saving before, right?"

Lu Yi looked at him.

"This world is like a game that can save and load files, but the game itself cannot decide whether to load the file. The deciding factor is the player outside the game," Gu Mian rubbed his chin, "In other words, the higher dimensions."

It's the higher dimensions that want a world like this. Doesn't that mean Earth wants a world like this? Does Earth have such a twisted sense of humor? What a bizarre planet.

"Speaking of which, we once sent a person to the higher dimensions..."

Gu Mian knew about this, "Jiang Yang?"

Lu Yi nodded, "I know him, but I don't know how he left this world. He was a Lower Class Person. The Upper Class People didn't want to go to the higher dimensions, so they chose him, assigned him as Number Four."

Hearing this, something flashed across Gu Mian's mind. He suddenly remembered a memory from a long time ago, "Wait, did you say Number Four?"

Lu Yi looked at Gu Mian, not understanding why he was interested in Jiang Yang's number.

Gu Mian frowned, "Is it because this is the Fourth World, so his number is No. 4?"

"Yes, the full name is 'Number Four Guardian'. It sounds like it's supposed to protect something, but at the time I didn't know what they were supposed to protect."

He latched onto the keyword "they." "You mean other worlds also sent their Guardians to the higher dimensions?"

"Yes. I know the First World and the Seventh World each sent one person to the higher dimensions. I've met the Guardian from the First World—your companion. I was a bit surprised when I saw him. Later, when he told me you were Gu Mian, I started to guess what they were supposed to protect."

Lu Yi had met Chu Changge in the Slaughter Game.

Still frowning, Gu Mian ignored what Lu Yi said at the end and continued to ask, "So if the person sent by your Fourth World is called the Number Four Guardian, wouldn't the person sent by the First World be called the No.1 Guardian?"

Lu Yi still didn't understand why Gu Mian was asking this, but he honestly replied, "Yes, that's how they were named. The First World, No. 1; the Second World, No. 2... But they also had their own names."

Gu Mian felt a headache coming on.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yi noticed something was off.

Gu Mian shook his head, "Nothing."

While saying this, he glanced at the stage outside the window. There were only a few people left on the guillotine stage. Once they determined the final victor, it would be 007's turn to appear.

She would step onto the stage filled with doubts about her show, ready to face the hysterical revelry.

He needed to get back.

"Your friend is about to take the stage?" Seeing where Gu Mian's thoughts were going, Lu Yi also directed his gaze downward.

"Yep," Gu Mian nodded, "I should get back."

Lu Yi laughed and said, "Are you going to perform again as you did in the other instances? I know a few of them, like the head-sawing, explosions, arson, threats, and the like?"

"Bullshit. I've always prided myself on winning hearts with virtue."
