Chapter 185 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou still had a gloating smile on his lips. "That should be right. So, are you planning to convince all the players?"

Xue Rui's first thought was Xue Qian. He couldn't persuade Xue Qian at all; he would feel disgusted even to look at him!

So that's definitely impossible, and you don't necessarily have to say it yourself; you can just let other players investigate together, right?

Anyway, players who can directly reach C-level difficulty dungeons are definitely not brainless. Oh right, except for a very few idiots, who really are brainless.

But Xue Qian and Zhou Nanyue don't seem to have experienced many dungeons. Could they be newbies? No, could it be that they just cleared the beginner dungeon and were then thrown here?

So they must be considered very unlucky?

This kind of difficulty level... no, I should say that every dungeon will simultaneously feature powerful and experienced players, as well as some very new and stupid newbie players.

Lin Leyou blinked. "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Xue Rui snapped out of her daze. "It's okay. I don't need to persuade them. If they can't find out, I'll help you by myself."

Lin Leyou said, "I think there are many smart players among them. You just need to guide them a little. As for those who don't even realize it even with guidance, you don't need to worry about them."

Xue Rui: "Players cannot kill each other."

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. "I've knocked them down, but I can't personally take action against my two targets. I have to kill them in a subtle way, like scaring them to death."

Xue Rui suddenly laughed out loud, "How about I help you?"

Lin Leyou blinked. "No need. Let's just let things take their course. If I encounter any difficulties in the end, I'll ask you for help."

Xue Rui: "Okay, it's settled then, Na."

Lin Leyou took advantage of the darkness to look around. It was probably because everyone in the manor who needed to know that he was dead already knew, so his courtyard was now sealed off, and there wouldn't be many people passing by.

"There's no one here. Go back and change your clothes first. I'll follow you when we come out tonight. Of course, you definitely won't see me. If you encounter any danger, I might be able to help."

Xue Rui shook his head, "No need for help. It's only just begun, there's not much danger yet."

Lin Leyou didn't object, "Alright then."

He'll definitely be going with us anyway.

Xue Rui carefully climbed over the wall and soon evaded the night patrolling servants, leaving the Lin residence. He returned to his own residence as quickly as possible, and before Zhou Feng woke up, he took his clothes and went to the river to wash himself clean, then changed into clean clothes.

When he returned to his room, he hung the clothes he had washed by the river in a corner of the room. It was so dark there that he couldn't see them clearly, and he figured Zhou Feng wouldn't notice them even after he woke him up.

Xue Rui rested for a while longer. He had put in some effort to cause trouble outside. When he felt he had had enough, he checked the time and found it was almost midnight before he went to wake Zhou Feng.

Zhou Feng groggily opened his eyes, and upon seeing Xue Rui, he quickly realized the situation. "Is it time?"

Xue Rui said, "That's about enough. Let's go find Fang Hong and the others; they should be awake by now."

After they quietly opened the door, they found that Fang Hong and Ding Baishuang had indeed come out. The four of them went out together and disappeared silently into the night.

Not only the four of them, but shortly after they left, several more shadowy figures quietly emerged, huddled together to exchange some hand gestures, and then left as well.

It's estimated that many people think the same way as Xue Rui and his group, planning to go out in the middle of the night to look for clues, since they are too conspicuous during the day, and nighttime is the best time to gather information.

Lin Leyou naturally activated his ethereal transformation skill and followed Xue Rui and the others. They headed straight for the Lin residence.

Xue Rui had only been gone a short time, so he was naturally very familiar with the place now. He knew which way to climb over the wall without being discovered, but he couldn't say that.

Fang Hong pointed in a direction, "Which way?"

No one had any objections, since it was the first time for everyone to visit the Lin residence and none of them had been inside before. Xue Rui had been taken inside by Lin Leyou before.

They walked along the wall for a while, and then Ding Baishuang suddenly pointed to a spot, "Look here."

It was already dark, so I couldn't see very clearly. Only when I got closer did I realize it was half a shoe print. Of course, the pattern was not clear; it was just the outline of half a shoe print.

"Why are there shoe prints here?" Fang Hong even reached out and touched them with her finger. "They're dry."

Xue Rui's eye twitched. He had accidentally brushed against it when he climbed over the wall. He had been careless. He needed to be more careful in the future.

"Since someone has climbed over the wall here, it means this place is safe. Let's go in from here and wipe the shoe prints off so that no one else can find out."

Zhou Feng: "Okay."

Fang Hong: "I have no objection, but should we leave someone here to keep watch?"

Zhou Feng said, "No need, let's all go inside. If we stay here and find out someone is coming, we won't be able to notify those of us inside."

Fang Hong: "Oh right, I was overthinking it again. Let's all go in then."

Everyone was very agile, and their movements over the wall were quick and efficient. Lin Leyou, who was following behind in a blur, suddenly realized that these four people were indeed not simple individuals.

Xue Rui goes without saying; he must have trained since childhood. Ding Baishuang also needs no introduction; I've seen her in the Werewolf game before—she's very skilled.

Fang Hong mentioned before that she had a special forces brother who trained with her. Zhou Feng is a retired veteran. Although he has been struggling to make a living in recent years, he has definitely regained his former skills.

Looking at it this way, you have to admit, all four people in this group are pretty good.

Lin Leyou suddenly thought that it might be a good idea to have Xue Rui form a player organization, so that Zhou Feng would have somewhere to go.

As for Fang Hong and Ding Baishuang...

Forget it, this isn't something I can control. I'll just mention it to Xue Rui later and let him decide for himself.

After the four of them scaled the wall and entered the courtyard, they quickly decided to split up. After all, four people together would be too conspicuous, and each of them had their own special skills, so it was best to act separately.

No one will affect anyone else.

Lin Leyou did not follow, but floated upwards, and soon he saw four people acting suspiciously in the Lin residence.

Just as he was engrossed in watching, another group of people arrived outside the Lin residence. This time there were six of them, and they also walked around the wall.

They were chattering and making noise outside. Although the sound wasn't very loud, it was still quite noticeable on such a quiet night.

Fortunately, someone told them to lower their voices, and they realized they were talking too loudly. They consciously controlled their voices but continued to make noise.

Lin Leyou leaned over to listen to what they were arguing about.

"Why should I be the one keeping watch outside? I also want to go in and investigate. What if you find something and don't tell us? I don't trust you."

"I want to go in too. One person is enough to keep watch outside; we don't need two."

"Someone has to keep watch outside. It's too risky for all of us to go in together, especially since there are six of us!"

"Hey, stop arguing, let's decide by rock-paper-scissors?"

"How can that be? Why should the loser of rock-paper-scissors have to stay outside as a lookout? I don't want to."

Just as they were arguing, Lin Leyou noticed another group of people approaching from a distance, this time six in total. The two sides stared at each other blankly, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Goodness, adding Li Xuerui and the other three from before, there are now sixteen players. There are only twenty players participating in this instance this time.

Aside from Zhou Nanyue and Xue Qian, are there only two other players who are actually sleeping and resting?

Or did those two players go to investigate somewhere else? Like the graveyard behind the village?

But Lin Leyou was obviously overthinking it, because before the two groups even started talking, two more people appeared from the side.

Now that's settled, all twenty players except Zhou Nanyue and Xue Qian have come to the Lin residence.

The Lin residence is really lively tonight; all eighteen players have gone inside.

Now that's settled, the fourteen players who gathered together stopped arguing. Since they're all here, they might as well all go in. If they get caught by the Lin family, they can only blame their bad luck.

So, none of the people left to keep watch; they all scaled the wall and entered the Lin residence. Lin Leyou looked on helplessly and took out his phone to send a message to Xue Rui.

Xue Rui was secretly investigating alone inside the Lin residence at that moment. After receiving the message, he hid in a safe place before taking out his phone to check it, only to discover...

ah? !

Apart from Xue Qian and Zhou Nanyue, all the other players entered the Lin residence to investigate!

Xue Rui felt there might be some trouble, so he thought about finding the other four people and telling them to leave quickly.

There's no way around it, everyone's here, and there's bound to be some players with poor skills among them. It's obvious they'll be discovered. There's bound to be trouble at the Lin residence tonight, so it's best to leave as soon as possible.

But Xue Rui didn't know where to find the three of them.

Now all we can do is trust their skills. After thinking for a moment, Xue Rui left the Lin residence first. As soon as he climbed over the wall and was about to take a step, a commotion broke out inside the Lin residence.

Someone has been spotted!

Lin Leyou could see more clearly from the sky. Several players who weren't very skilled were talking too loudly when they got together, which attracted the attention of the patrolling servants, and they were discovered.

I'm truly amazed. To sneak into the Lin residence at night and still manage to have an argument inside is incredible!

Lin Leyou quickly moved away from the Lin family's wall. After a few minutes, he saw Zhou Feng and the others climb over the wall one after another.

After the four reunited, they returned to their residence as soon as possible. The people of the Lin family were definitely not to be trifled with, and it was impossible for all the players to escape from the Lin family. One or two of them would definitely be caught.
