Global Collapse.

Chapter 957 Oops
In the dead of night, in the cold wind and in the pitch-black campus, two twisted, maggot-like things were crawling eerily along the ground.

Another red figure, moving as fast as lightning, darted back and forth beside the two maggots.

It was truly a bizarre and eerie sight.

"Lord Evil God, how long have we been climbing? We've already climbed quite a distance past that intersection. We should be alright now, right?" The slightly fatter worm spoke up.

"We don't know how wide that ghost's killing range is, so it's safer to climb a little further," the evil insect said.

The two decided to use Xu Xingcheng's twisting crawling method to escape the pursuit of the ghost that turned back.

That's why we see this scene before us.

“Okay,” the fat boy said as he struggled to crawl forward, “If we keep crawling, we’ll reach the school gate. Do you think the doctor might be up there?”

"Given his mobility, he'll definitely go for a stroll once he sees the school gate, so even if he's walking in the same direction as us, we probably won't see him when we get to the school gate."

"Judging from the manual on the corpse, it's very dangerous outside the school. That person died outside the school the first time he left the school... By the way, the manual also mentions you, Lord Evil God. It seems that your clone entered this instance half a year ago and knew that corpse. That's why you felt so familiar when you saw that corpse. Do you know about the matter of turning into a clone?"

As he spoke, the fat man reached into his pocket for the manual, which he then stuffed into his pocket without any packaging.

"I felt it as soon as I entered this instance. This instance has some kind of vague connection with me. I guess that clone is still there."

"Do you know where he is?" the fat man asked. If the clone was still alive, then he had been in this instance for at least half a year and would be very familiar with the terrain and the killing patterns of some ghosts. Having this guide would make things much easier.

"I can't access the memories or location. It's like something is blocking the connection between me and the clone. Also, I feel that the clone in this instance is the kind that hasn't awakened yet. You know, clones like this are generally not very smart."

"An unawakened clone?" The fat man recalled for a moment, "Like those simpletons in the High School Mystery Dungeon and the School Werewolf Dungeon?"

Xu Xingcheng seemed quite dissatisfied with the fat man's description. He stopped crawling and said, "What do you mean, 'idiot'? I'm portrayed as a sunny, innocent, and naive young man, okay? Isn't that much more endearing than your cunning and treacherous bespectacled guy?"

She also took the opportunity to criticize Chu Changge.

When Xu Xingcheng stopped moving, the fat man also stopped crawling. He remained silent for a long time after Xu Xingcheng spoke, until Xu Xingcheng asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

The fat man's voice came again: "Lord Evil God, have you noticed something?"

That tone was ominous...

This made Xu Xingcheng immediately roll his eyes left and right, checking his surroundings for any danger. Only after confirming there were no ghosts nearby did he relax: "What's with that awful tone? What did you find?"

The fat man asked in a puzzled tone, "Have you noticed that your clone appears at this school a little too often?"

"We encountered it three times: once in the school of the Hidden God instance, once in the school of the Werewolf instance, and later once in the school of the Judge instance."
"This is the fourth time I've encountered your spirit at school, and this time you even brought your main body along. Is the school your respawn point? Or do you have a deep connection with this place?"

Now it was Xu Xingcheng's turn to fall silent.

He remained silent for about half a minute before finally speaking: "So, it's true that I do appear at school quite frequently."

"What caused this situation?" the fat man asked, puzzled.

Xu Xingcheng frowned: "Actually, as soon as I entered the dungeon, I felt like there was something here attracting me."

"Is something attracting you?" The fat man tried his best to sense his surroundings, but he couldn't find anything particularly appealing about the school.

Xu Xingcheng continued climbing forward: "Perhaps the answer lies in this school. Let's go find Gu Mian first, and after we find Gu Mian, we'll dig three feet into the ground to see what exactly is seducing me."

"We're not far from the school gate now... Come to think of it, it seems like it's almost dawn." The fat man lay on the ground and noticed that the sky wasn't as dark as when he first entered the dungeon. Just as he was observing the sky above, a loud bell suddenly rang out.

The fat man was startled, but immediately realized that the bell was ringing throughout the entire school.

"What's going on?" He lay on the ground looking around and then noticed lights coming on in the dormitory building in the distance.

"It's six o'clock, time for the wake-up call. We have to leave the dorm immediately. The dorm supervisor will come to check at 6:30, and anyone still in the dorm will be killed on the spot."

Inside the dormitory, Curly looked at his watch and addressed the others.

The "other people" refers to Chu Changge.

Curly's four roommates had already been in this instance for a while and knew the school's time rules by heart, so they didn't need Curly to give them instructions.

Chu Changge was new. Although he had already read the manual Jing had given him, when the time came, Curly couldn't help but explain it to him.

Last night, this man used his captivating gaze to repel the red-clad ghost that almost broke into the dormitory. Although Chu Changge never revealed what methods he used to repel the ghost, his image in everyone's mind had already been established.

Having another teammate is not bad, and this teammate seems smart and resourceful, Curly thought.

Chu Changge remembered the schedule Jing had given him.

Just like Curly said, all students must leave the dormitory before 6:30.

Students must be in the classroom before 6:50 a.m. to start their morning self-study. They also need to find time to go to the cafeteria for lunch between leaving the dormitory and arriving at the classroom.

That's right, this school does have a cafeteria; otherwise, players wouldn't have been able to stay there for a year.

According to Jing and the others, the food in the cafeteria was fairly normal. Although they couldn't tell what ingredients were used, it wasn't bad.

"Take me to the cafeteria," Chu Changge said.

The cafeteria was not far from the dormitory building, and the group arrived at their destination in no time.

Like most university cafeterias, the area for serving food has a food pick-up point. However, while the usual cafeteria pick-up point has a transparent glass partition, this one is a black wall, so you can't see what's behind it.

There is only one small opening leading inside.

"This is the food pick-up area. Just wait here for a while and you'll get your food," Jing explained to Chu Changge.

Chu Changge lowered his head slightly and looked into the small mouth. It was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything.

He then turned his head and began to examine the cafeteria.

After they came in, others followed one after another; they were all players, so it seems there are still quite a few people alive in this instance.

At this moment, a tray was pushed out from the food pick-up slot. Chu Changge stared at the dark food pick-up slot, unable to tell what had pushed the tray out.

The tray that was presented was made of stainless steel, and in the very center of the tray was a dark red object about the size of an egg—that was the food.

"Have you guys noticed that the cafeteria is giving out less and less food lately?" Curly complained, taking the tray.

Damn it, it's past midnight! Now that things have come to this, watch me unleash my time-reversal artifact! This time, I'm going back to the day my book was first published and become the tentacle monster revered by all!
