Chapter 125 [(*^▽^*)]

Chen Ying's shouts grew louder and louder, as if she hoped that by making her voice louder, she could attract the people downstairs to come up, but no matter how many times she shouted, she never saw anyone other than herself.

Sweat dripped from her forehead, and Chen Ying suddenly realized that the sweat was about to get into her eyes.

Only then did she realize that she was covered in sweat, and the cold sweat had soaked through her close-fitting short-sleeved shirt.

She was panting heavily, not knowing what to do, and could only keep walking towards the stairs, but she would always return to the starting point at the last step, and Lin Le was still nowhere to be seen.

Chen Ying walked back and forth like this countless times, always returning to the starting point. She even knocked on Lin Leyou's door.

The knocking was loud enough to be heard throughout the entire villa, but nothing else moved.

She didn't even remember that she had a lot of life-saving items in her backpack until she lost her balance and fell to the ground, at which point she suddenly remembered that she still had items she could use.

It can be used to escape!

However... she searched through all the items in her backpack but couldn't find anything that would help her in the current situation; they were all just a bunch of miscellaneous little gadgets.

These are all items that are good for ambushing, defending, or increasing speed for escaping.

Even if she was stupid, she realized that the current situation was very similar to the ghost wall she had heard about before. Could there be a ghost hidden in this werewolf game?

If there are no ghosts, then where does this phenomenon of being trapped in a ghost wall come from?

Wait, could it be a prop?!

If it really is a prop, wouldn't it be a waste to use it here and only on oneself? Such a good prop!

Chen Ying never thought she was very strong; she was just good at manipulating people's hearts.

There is no one else but Lin Leyou who can do this, who knows how to do this.

After figuring things out, she stopped thinking of other ways to escape and began to plead pitifully with teary eyes, "Brother Lin? Brother Lin... please don't kill me, I'll do anything you say, I'll do anything..."

"If you spare me this time, I'll give you anything I have, I really will..."

"I have a lot of items in my backpack, there's bound to be one you like. If you kill me, you won't get anything. How about you let me go and I'll give you the items?"

She talked on and on, but received no response.

Chen Ying gritted her teeth. Her intuition told her that Lin Leyou was watching her from the shadows. Was he not making a move yet to see what kind of tricks she could pull out?

To convince Lin Leyou, she hesitated for a moment before taking two props out of her backpack and placing them on the ground.

"These are the two best items in my backpack. You can have them both. Is that okay? Let me off this time, and I'll give you two more good items later!"

Lin Leyou glanced at the props she had placed on the ground: a palm-sized peach wood sword and a bell. So this was an exorcism device?

Since he hadn't gotten his hands on it, Lin Leyou didn't know what level of item it was. He could only judge from its appearance that it was probably a green item that was slightly better than a white item, since Qin Jiao only had one blue item before.

Could it be a blue-tier item?

Lin Leyou, "..."

Chen Ying can produce two blue-grade items all at once? And she'll give me the same items later? Is she that rich?

Although this was somewhat different from what he had expected, his initial refusal to appear or make a move was simply to see if Chen Ying would use a prop to escape.

If he could really run, he would shoot immediately.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ying did indeed bring out props, but not to escape; she used them to bribe him.

This also suggests that Chen Ying may have had a lot of props in her backpack, but none of them could have helped her escape the "ghost wall" situation!

It's such a pity. If she had encountered another greedy player, they might have let her go for the hard-won item, but she encountered herself.

Of course, it could also be because of her beauty.

Lin Leyou looked at the empty bag in his backpack and the cursed dagger, and finally took out the dagger.

Chen Ying didn't realize that she was very close to the window in the second-floor corridor. He planned to throw her body out the window after killing her.

Anyway, it snowed heavily all night, and the snow outside was already very thick. If someone fell in, they wouldn't be noticed unless someone specifically looked for it.

It won't even make a loud sound.

Lin Leyou quietly appeared behind Chen Ying, "Are you telling the truth?"

"ah!"

Chen Ying was startled and jumped up like a frightened cat, then ran a long way away, heading right towards the window.

This is a good spot, even better than before. It will make things much easier for Lin Leyou's next move.

She patted her chest in shock, slowly calming her heart, which had nearly jumped out of her chest. "How did you suddenly appear? Why was there no sound? You scared me to death!"

Lin Leyou asked in confusion, "Do we still need to speak?"

Looking at Lin Leyou, who had suddenly become much more lively, Chen Ying felt a sense of foreboding. She dropped the previous topic and cautiously sought confirmation.

"Brother Lin, shouldn't you...?"

Lin Leyou smiled, his expression gentle. "What about you?"

When such a gentle smile appeared on his face, Chen Ying felt very scared, even though she had seen many such gentle smiles before.

Those men all looked at her with tenderness, saying things like "I will protect you," "I will definitely protect you," but at this moment...

She felt she might get the exact opposite result.

Sure enough, as Lin Leyou slowly approached her, a sharp knife suddenly appeared in his hand, which he must have taken out of his backpack.

The moment Chen Ying saw the sharp knife, her pupils constricted sharply. "Wait, wait! I have many more props, I can give them to you..."

"If you kill me, you really won't get anything!"

As she spoke, she frantically tried to take out props from her backpack, as if she wanted to show Lin Leyou her precious props.

But I don't know if it was because I was too nervous or too flustered, but I took out the props, but I took the wrong ones!

Chen Ying only realized what had happened after she got the prop and had Lin Leyou swipe in that direction.

The prop she was holding wasn't the one she had in mind, but rather...

However, in just a second of thinking, Lin Leyou was already in front of her.

Chen Ying slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief as she looked at Lin Leyou's smiling face.

And the last thing I saw was that fleeting glint of cold light, and the feeling of something icy brushing against my neck.

Lin Leyou opened the window behind her as quickly as possible and pushed her out before her blood could gush out.

Chen Ying's body fell into the snow below without making a loud noise.

Moreover, from his current position, he is directly facing the wall of the first floor. Even if someone is directly below him, they will not notice that a body has fallen from the second floor.

"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for successfully eliminating a game participant."

He casually closed the window, then picked up the prop that Chen Ying had taken out of her backpack but hadn't used. It was a prop card, dusty and obviously not a good thing.

Instead of checking directly, he turned around and walked back, picking up the peach wood sword and bell that Chen Ying had placed on the floor and taking them back with him.

After obtaining the three items, Lin Leyou returned to his room and casually canceled the "ghost wall" talent outside. Strangely, even after so long, none of the people who were downstairs had come up.

Has the so-called evidence really been found?

Should he also go down with Xue Rui to search for evidence that can prove Yao Yanhua is the real culprit?

Xue Rui sent a message, "Brother Lin?"

He hadn't received a reply for a long time and was starting to have some doubts.

Lin Leyou tossed the props onto the table, then sat down in a chair. "What's wrong?"

Xue Rui: "It's okay, shall we go down and look for evidence?"

Lin Leyou blinked. "Not for now. Let's see which person we can hunt down first. By the way, did you hear any hints just now?"

Xue Rui was taken aback when he saw the message. "There's no notification, but if we're going to hunt down other people, then... are we not going to do the mission?"

Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. It seemed that even if someone died, the system wouldn't notify the other game participants. That was pretty good.

He patiently explained to Xue Rui, "There are five mission objectives in pairs, all of which are to prove that the target is the real culprit."

"Yao Yanfeng was clearly poisoned. It's actually quite simple once we find out who poisoned him and what kind of poison it was. But don't forget, only the first two people in the group who produce evidence are considered to have completed their mission. Even if the rest of us get complete evidence later, it doesn't count as completing our mission. So... what do you think?"

Xue Rui isn't stupid; he's very smart, he just hadn't realized it before.

"Brother Lin, are you saying that while each group is completing its own task, they also sabotage the tasks of other groups? Like destroying evidence?"

Lin Leyou: "Yes, take our mission as an example. While we are completing the mission, four groups of people will destroy the evidence we need. At the same time, we will not let go of the evidence that others need."

"Even if one group does manage to gather the so-called evidence and complete the mission, the others will definitely unite to kill them first."

Xue Rui gasped, a hint of shock in his eyes, but he quickly realized that this was normal; in game instances, players would fight each other.
