Chapter 108 [(*^▽^*)]

"What's wrong? Can't I ask the captain?"

Lin Leyou: "I feel like something's off with the captain."

Having worked as a security guard for so long, he wasn't someone who would panic in the face of every situation; he calmed down a bit.

"For example?"

Lin Leyou stared at him. "I told the captain that I killed a lot of evil spirits, and the captain was very happy."

Is there anything wrong with this?

Lin Leyou continued, "The captain said he couldn't leave the guard booth because there were countless evil spirits in the fog outside the community. If he wasn't watching over the gate, the evil spirits would run into the community."

Is that so? He was taken aback.

"You're a senior here, after all, I haven't been in this community for very long, and I haven't been a security guard for very long either, so I don't know much about many things."

Lin Leyou's words made him scratch his head in frustration. "If there were no captain, the evil spirits outside would indeed come in, but as far as I know, it's not that something will happen if the captain leaves the security booth, but rather if the captain dies or goes to the hospital and doesn't stay in the community."

Lin Leyou blinked. "So, if the captain gets into trouble or goes to the hospital, the evil spirits outside will come in on their own, without needing to meet any other conditions?"

"Yes, that's right."

That's strange. Why would the captain do that?

Wait a minute, now that he's become the captain, he can't die or go to the hospital, otherwise how can he control the entire neighborhood?

"Hey, you..."

Lin Leyou, "What's wrong?"

"As far as I know, the wounded can go to the hospital, but the uninjured cannot."

Lin Leyou, "Then..."

"The injured person is supposed to wait at the security booth for the hospital to pick them up, but I don't think I've ever seen that before."

Lin Leyou said, "I've never seen it either; I always receive a message from the captain afterward."

"Me too. After it happened, I received a message from the team leader saying that I had to change my work hours."

Lin Leyou: "So, none of us have seen those injured security guards that the captain mentioned?"

"I've never seen it before."

Lin Leyou asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

"I...I don't know, I just want to wait for it to end."

Lin Leyou's face was difficult to see clearly in the darkness. "Then... what if I said that this time it won't end?"

He turned deathly pale with fright. "What do you mean?"

Lin Leyou said, "I received a secret message from above. This time, the evil behind the scenes seems to have escaped control. If we don't save ourselves, maybe... there will be no more."

Upon hearing this, the security guard standing inside the door immediately felt a chill run down his spine. "What... what should we do?"

Lin Leyou was puzzled. "You just believe what I said?"

He seemed devastated. "I didn't want this either, but I was actually somewhat aware that this time was completely different from the previous times. It wasn't like this at all before!"

“In the past, security guards would never be attacked. Even if someone was accidentally attacked, it would only be one or two at most. It would never be like now, with only the two of us left.”

“I’ve had a feeling that the captain was acting strangely for a long time. Who else could be plotting against the security guards like this but there’s nothing I can do. I can only pray that he doesn’t target me.”

Lin Leyou took a deep breath. It turned out that someone else had realized this even before she did. "Then can you tell me everything you know?"

"I...I don't know much either..."

Lin Leyou reassured him, "It's okay, I just wanted to know some things I didn't know, maybe it will help my actions later."

"Well... okay then..."

He looked hesitant, but decided to tell himself, "I only know a few things. If something happens to the captain, then the evil spirits outside have already broken in. But the people in the security booth don't seem to be the captain either."

Lin Leyou was not too surprised by this information, or rather, it was both reasonable and unexpected.

"Furthermore, the colleagues who were supposedly injured and sent to the hospital may not have actually been sent to the hospital. Even if they had been sent to the hospital, they could have communicated with us by phone, but we haven't received any news from them."

Lin Leyou nodded.

"Phew...that's all I know. I hope it's helpful."

Lin Leyou said, "Thank you. You're still on rest time now. Remember not to go out unnecessarily. Also, if this game isn't over by noon tomorrow, be careful when you go to work."

"I found someone I trust to talk to the captain and was allowed to be a temporary security guard. He might take over your patrol duties tomorrow, while you will stay in the guard booth to watch the door. The captain... will go back to rest."

rest?

He seemed panicked, but still nodded in agreement, "It's okay. When I'm on duty, even if he's the team leader, he can't lay a hand on me."

Lin Leyou, "Do you know where in this neighborhood a lot of people can hide without being discovered?"

He shook his head, but then nodded as if he had thought of something. "Yes, there is an underground warehouse at the supermarket. At the very back of this underground warehouse, there is a small spare warehouse. Even supermarket staff don't go to this small warehouse unless there are special circumstances."

"The most secluded place in the whole neighborhood is over there."

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I understand. You get some rest, and I'll find a chance to go and visit."

"Then be careful."

The security guard closed the door, and Lin Leyou stood in the door for a while before leaving. The security guard's words seemed quite credible.

He was pretty sure the captain was the evil boss. He had previously said he wouldn't accept other residents of the community as security guards because he was afraid that an evil ghost might be in disguise. Little did he know that he himself was the evil ghost in disguise.

The current captain looks the same as the captain he saw when he arrived in the neighborhood before the dungeon started, but he is not the captain.

The special mission item that was moved may only be found when the real captain is located.

Lin Leyou immediately sent a message to Xue Rui, "I need to go to the supermarket. Only I can enter this place. Be careful when you are monitoring him."

Xue Rui: "Okay."

Although he was monitoring the captain, he didn't stare at him constantly, but glanced at him every now and then. The captain seemed very anxious, but he never left the security booth.

That's strange.

During this time, Lin Leyou arrived at the supermarket entrance. He walked through the supermarket gate and then walked straight to the supermarket warehouse door without greeting the supermarket staff.

Security guards occasionally patrol the supermarket, so even if people see him, they don't think anything is strange. They just glance at him and then continue with their work.

Lin Leyou arrived at the supermarket's warehouse without any trouble. The warehouse was filled with all sorts of things.

He didn't pay attention to these things, but walked to the back of the warehouse. When he got to the back, against the wall, he did find a door. The door was locked and couldn't be opened from the outside, and probably couldn't be opened from the inside either. He would have to find a key to open it.

So, where is the key?

He walked back to the supermarket entrance and found the manager who was on duty.

"Hello, what happened?"

Lin Leyou shook his head. "It's nothing, just a routine patrol. Give me the key to the door inside the warehouse, and I'll open it and take a look."

Although the manager found it strange, he still led him to his office, retrieved the key, and gave it to him. "This is the key to the door inside the warehouse. It's just that no one usually uses the spare warehouse, so..."

Lin Leyou: "I know, I just opened it to take a look."

"That's good."

Lin Leyou: "By the way, is there only one door for that?"

The manager stroked his chin. "There were two keys when we first set them up, but one of them went missing a while ago. Since we need to use the backup warehouse, we have to go through the main warehouse in front, so I don't think anyone would use it so openly, as it would be easy to be noticed. So I didn't pay much attention to the lost key."

Lin Leyou nodded, "It's alright."

He took the key and returned to the supermarket's warehouse. To be honest, the warehouse was indeed very large and had enough space to store the goods. The spare small warehouse inside was not really necessary.

However, it was probably used to store relatively expensive items before. But the security measures in the community are very good, so this small storage room has never been used. Over time, even many supermarket employees have forgotten about this place.

He walked to the door of the spare warehouse and unlocked it with the key in his hand.

He slowly opened the door, and what he saw was exactly what he had imagined.

Lin Leyou took a deep breath, looked at the disheveled man in the middle of the group who was wearing a uniform, holding an electric baton, and had a fierce look in his eyes, and said, "Captain."

This person looks exactly like the captain in the security booth, but anyone who sees the two of them can probably tell at a glance that they are different.

The captain stared at Lin Leyou for a long time, "It's you..."

Lin Leyou: "Yes, the game has started. I'm a member of the security team."

The captain narrowed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. "Where is he?"

Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment, then realized that the captain must have been referring to the fake item. "In the security booth, I don't know why, but no matter how anxious he was, he wouldn't leave from there."

The captain sneered, "Of course we can't leave. What would happen if we left?"

Lin Leyou looked at the people in security uniforms surrounding the captain, "These are all..."

The captain wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "It's all because of that thing. Come with me to take them to the hospital first. These two are more seriously injured, come and help them. The rest can help each other across."

Lin Leyou immediately stepped forward to help without saying a word, "No problem!"
