Global Collapse-Chapter 650 - 618: Sexy CooCoo Online Giving Candies_1

After such a long time, Gu Mian had trouble recalling the face in his mind.

All he remembered was one day, a long-haired woman stood before him. She bent down to give him a lollipop larger than his face, her voice full of cheer, "From now on, I'll be your mother, and you'll have a home."

She had also considered taking Chu Changge and Lin Xiaowei with her, but Lin Xiaowei was vehemently against it, "No, won't they end up as siblings then? No, no…"

Gu Mian didn't remember the rest of what Lin Xiaowei said, only that he never got that home in the end.

The woman died in a car accident, and even her body wasn't intact.

After that, the other children in the orphanage avoided him. Wherever he went, the area around him would become a vacuum.

Afterward, he didn't go out much.

Gu Mian hid the colorful lollipop he hadn't gotten to eat at the bottom of a box, and it was never taken out again.

After he said Song Yu's name, Chu Changge stopped and looked at Gu Mian. "That's all I know."

Fatty, standing to one side, had already concocted a beautifully tragic story in his mind. His face was covered in tears, and he kept wailing, "Poor Doctor!"

Gu Mian listened to Fatty's pitiful sobs, the corner of his mouth twitching. "Stop crying. You probably won't even wail this loudly at my funeral."

Fatty sniffled, "Nonsense! I'll definitely be the loudest one wailing at your funeral!"

When Miss Xiao Qiao heard Fatty talking about wailing at Gu Mian's funeral, she set down her bowl and tried hard to squeeze out a few tears. She was really making an effort, displaying better acting skills than when she filmed for TV.

Seeing that Xiao Hong was also about to be swept up in the mournful atmosphere, Gu Mian immediately raised his hand to stop the farce. "Alright, let's get down to business. Xiao Qiao, I have a question for you."

Hearing her name, Xiao Qiao stopped her clumsy performance and looked up at Gu Mian.

Gu Mian looked down at her. "Your world, the one called Twilight Gods World—it has a number too, right? What number is it?"

Xiao Qiao began to think.

Gu Mian knew her brain capacity was pitifully small, so he waited patiently.

After several minutes of thought, she finally answered, "It should be seven. Because I'm number seven, it should be seven too."

Gu Mian touched his chin. So, Twilight Gods World is the Seventh World?

Lu Yi said he knew about the Seventh World. If I'd known earlier, I would have asked Guangyu more about the Seventh World when we were in the instance.

Xiao Qiao had once told them that Twilight Gods World hadn't turned into an instance. Gu Mian was very curious about this world. Unfortunately, Xiao Qiao couldn't provide detailed information about her own world; who knew what her mind was filled with that prevented her from recalling specifics.

Perhaps Gu Mian's gaze on Xiao Qiao was so blatant that everyone else understood what he was thinking.

"Ahem," Fatty cleared his throat. "Perhaps Miss Xiao Qiao's world is too terrifying. She was so frightened in her own world that her intellectual development... wasn't quite complete."

Well, that was a tactful way to put it.

Gu Mian couldn't understand why the Seventh World would send someone like her to Earth.

Look at Chu Changge—so intelligent.

Look at Liu Ruyan—a true hidden talent.

Look at Xie Bi'an—oh, he's the *real* hidden talent. Gu Mian still hadn't seen his true form, and according to Chu Changge, this Guardian seemed to be proficient in Resurrection.

Then look at Xiao Qiao. Apart from being strong, she seemed to have no other redeeming qualities.

Could there be something else special about her?

Thinking this, Gu Mian moved closer to Xiao Qiao, examining her from left and right, then prodded her forehead with a finger.

Xiao Qiao's head swayed back and forth from the poke. Seeing Gu Mian's finger resting on her forehead, she broke into a satisfied smile.

She's quite good at entertaining herself.

At this, a ridiculous thought suddenly struck Gu Mian. He straightened up, turned to the others, and said in a peculiar tone, "What do you guys think? Could Xiao Qiao actually be the most normal person in the Seventh World?"

Perhaps the Seventh World couldn't find any other normal people, so they sent Xiao Qiao to Earth.

Chu Changge adjusted his glasses. "That's a possibility."

Gu Mian turned to Xiao Qiao again. "Do you remember anyone else from your world?"

Hearing this, Xiao Qiao's smile vanished. She shook her head, her expression odd. "There's no one else."

No other people?

Was Xiao Qiao the only one in the Seventh World? Were all the others ghosts?

Gu Mian continued, "Are there other ghosts?"

As he spoke, he pulled over the ghost brother who had been calling out "sister," using him as an example. "Like this kind of thing."

Xiao Qiao looked at the ghost brother for a few moments, then hesitated before nodding. "Many."

So, many handsome ghosts are running around the streets calling out "sister"? Fatty's thoughts began to wander. As he mused, he pulled Xiao Hong over as another example. "What about this type?"

Xiao Qiao glanced at Xiao Hong's face, her expression disdainful. "None that ugly."

As expected, Xiao Hong erupted again.

"What about other small animals? Dogs that go BAA, chickens with horns, grass that runs around—do these kinds of 'small animals' exist?" Gu Mian asked.

Fatty clutched his head. Doctor, are those things you're describing really 'small animals'?

This time, Xiao Qiao answered quickly, "Nothing else. Just ghosts running around."

Gu Mian frowned.

So, there was actually no one else in the Seventh World, not even animals. According to Xiao Qiao, only ghosts ran around.

She was the only living person in that world.

This kind of world setting is truly unheard of. It's a genuine apocalypse.

Although the settings of the Old World and Paradise were twisted, at least they weren't lacking people.

But Twilight Gods World, Xiao Qiao's home world, was filled entirely with ghosts.

No wonder this world hadn't opened up as an instance. In a world teeming with ghosts, any player who entered would undoubtedly die. Gu Mian suspected that even he would be overwhelmed and crushed by the sheer number of ghosts if he entered.

So, how did Xiao Qiao manage to survive so long in such a world?

Gu Mian looked at her. "When did you come to Earth?"

"Time?" Xiao Qiao looked at Gu Mian and shook her head. "There isn't any."

No time?

Gu Mian tried another approach. "How old were you when you came to Earth?"

"I don't know. We have no concept of time where I'm from."

"No day and night?"

"No."

"No clocks?"

"No."

"How were you born?"

"I don't know."

Gu Mian asked no more questions.

What an odd world.

No living people, no time, no clocks, not even day or night.

Twilight Gods World… a world perpetually in an apocalyptic state?…

As Gu Mian was pondering, something green suddenly popped out from behind the sofa.

Mr. Green's hat.

Gu Mian grabbed Mr. Green, who was hiding behind the sofa. The poor fellow couldn't return to his own world and had to stay here temporarily.

During his stay, he had suffered inhuman torture from Gu Mian. Even his former employees had now seen the light and abandoned him, distancing themselves.

Thinking of his tragic situation, Mr. Green blinked, his eyes welling up with tears.

"I remember you're an NPC from the Exile World, right?" Gu Mian said, unsympathetically tugging Mr. Green. "What's the number of your world… And stop crying. It's not appealing unless it's a beautiful woman shedding tears."

Upon hearing "beautiful woman shedding tears," Xiao Qiao shyly squeezed out a few tears.

"T-two…" Mr. Green stammered. "Our world is the Second World."

The Second World. Gu Mian put down the Little Dwarf he was holding. That's the math teacher's world.

After letting Mr. Green go, he picked up a pen and paper and began to scribble on the pages of Chu Changge's torn book.

"Now, we know the First World is the Second World—that's Chu Changge's world. The Second World is the Exile World—the math teacher's world…"

As he spoke, Gu Mian jotted down a list in a blank space on the page.

[First World: Second World / Representative: Chu Changge]

[Second World: Exile World / Representative: Math Teacher]

"The Third World…" Gu Mian looked up at the two Guardians before him. "Does either of you know which one is the Third World?"

Xiao Qiao raised her hand. "Liu Ruyan. She ranks third in terms of oppressive aura."

So that's how Xiao Qiao identifies the Guardians.

Gu Mian remembered Liu Ruyan's world is the Old World.

[Third World: Old World / Representative: Liu Ruyan]

Lu Yi had said their world was the Fourth World. Gu Mian wrote it down.

[Fourth World: Paradise / Representative: Xie Bi'an (Jiang Yang)]

As for the Fifth World…

Chu Changge had just said Lin Xiaowei's world was the Fifth World. However, Guardians can only sense the numerical order of another Guardian's world, not deduce its name.

Gu Mian paused for a moment before continuing to write.

[Fifth World: ??? / Representative: Lin Xiaowei]

The name of the Sixth World was also unknown.

[Sixth World: ??? / Representative: Song Yu]

The Guardian of the Seventh World is right here, and I was just discussing this world with her.

[Seventh World: Twilight Gods World / Representative: Xiao Qiao]

Gu Mian tore the page from the book. Fatty silently mourned the unfortunate fate of Chu Changge's book. Chu Changge himself said nothing, merely adjusting his glasses.

"There are seven worlds we know of now," Gu Mian said, waving the page in his hand. "There could be more, or perhaps only these seven." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

He looked at Xiao Qiao. "Can you sense how many Guardians there are on Earth?"

Xiao Qiao shook her head. "I can't sense them, but I know I'm the last one. My world is also the last one."

Gu Mian understood.

"So, that means there are only seven worlds. After the Seventh World, Twilight Gods World, there are no others." He looked at the page fluttering in his hand.

So, the "seven" mentioned by the ghost in the vision of death meant this.

It meant seven worlds.

Fatty was practically dancing in the corner. "This reminds me of Princess Mianmian and her seven dwarfs! It was dwarfs, right…"

Gu Mian deliberately ignored Fatty, who was gesticulating happily nearby. "Now, we're missing the names of two worlds: the Fifth and the Sixth."

However, he remembered that in the food-processing factory instance, Manager 845 and Coach Che had mentioned the name of a world.

"Escape World."
