Chapter 225 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou quickly shifted his attention from the broadsword back to the man. "You haven't answered my question yet. Where are you going?"

The man had only moved less than two steps, and was still three to five steps away from the window. He would need to open the window when he got closer. He should have known better than to use the item to hide here and escape through the window instead.

They never expected the vice dean to be so cunning. They thought he had gone back to his office, but it turned out that the opening and closing of the door was a ruse. After they heard the door close, the vice dean did not actually go in. Instead, he remained standing outside the door, then carefully moved his footsteps to the door of the dean's office, waiting for them to walk right into his trap.

"Such deep scheming...no wonder he's the vice dean." He wiped the cold sweat from his face.

Lin Leyou suddenly smiled, "You seem to really like this Mo Dao?"

The man's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean?"

Lin Leyou: "How about I send you away with this weapon you like?"

He had never wielded a Mo Dao before. It looked long and heavy, but it was indeed beautiful and deadly when wielded.

The man knew things were going to get bad when he saw Lin Leyou's interested expression. "The vice dean certainly has the mind to play."

He still needs to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible. The props he used to hide are temporarily unusable, so is that the only option he can use?

Lin Leyou was examining the Mo Dao (a type of long-handled sword), but in his mind he was asking the system, "Can this item be used? Isn't it mine now?"

"System notification: Players are prohibited from using any items."

Lin Leyou's lips twitched. Very well, he can't use them. That means he really can only use these two scalpels and his own talent.

On the other hand, if the resident who takes on this task doesn't have the talent or the physical skills to do it, and all they have are two scalpels and the ability to command other staff, wouldn't it be even more difficult to complete the task?

After all, players who can reach this level of difficulty must have some skills, at least some physical ability, and they must have different items.

Lin Leyou found it uninteresting, so he put the Mo Dao aside. He certainly couldn't put it back in his inventory in front of the players. "Forget it, I'll just not use this weapon..."

"I still prefer a scalpel. I love watching the blade slice through flesh. I wonder if you can satisfy my preference?"

Seeing Lin Leyou say such things so seriously, the man's unease grew stronger. He couldn't wait any longer; he had to escape, otherwise...

The woman already lying down is my fate. Run!

Lin Leyou twirled the scalpel in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, the man in front of him vanished.

"kindness?"

Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment, standing stiffly in place, wary of his surroundings. Could it be that he has become invisible?

But he didn't sense anyone else in the office. Were they hiding using props like before? Or...?

Or have they already arrived somewhere else, through teleportation?

Before Lin Leyou could finish thinking, he heard a thud from the hallway outside the door, followed by a familiar cry of pain. Could this be?!

He kicked open the office door and walked out. The first thing he saw was a man not far away, clutching his head and rubbing it. Was this... teleportation?

Before Lin Leyou could even speak, he cursed loudly upon seeing Lin Leyou, "Damn it, this piece of junk prop! It's so close!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he scrambled away and ran into the stairwell without waiting for the elevator, disappearing from Lin Leyou's sight as quickly as possible.

Lin Leyou thought about it for a moment and ultimately did not chase after him. Instead, he gave orders to his men to set up a stakeout downstairs, capture the man, and kill him if he resisted.

The order was issued quickly, and soon Lin Leyou saw a large number of security guards gather back downstairs, along with some other staff members.

The player who had run quickly to the first floor saw this scene and did not dare to go out from the stairwell. Instead, he found a storage room to hide in and temporarily take refuge.

After waiting upstairs for the security guards to come up, Lin Leyou pointed to the dean's office and said, "A man and a woman sneaked into the dean's office while I was away. The man escaped, but the woman has been dealt with. You guys take care of this and remember to have someone clean it up. If the dean comes back and sees this..."

"Don't worry, we will restore it to its original state."

Lin Leyou nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you."

He left and returned to his office. As for the Mo Dao (陌刀), he naturally put it into his backpack. This weapon was really good; since he couldn't use his dagger often, this Mo Dao was the best alternative.

Lin Le happily returned to his office, found a recliner, lay down, covered himself with a small blanket, put on an eye mask, and rested.

The vice president is resting, but the rest of the hospital staff are not, especially the male player who is currently being besieged by security guards downstairs.

The storage room where he had been hiding was quickly discovered by security guards, who then searched it. So he should be thankful that there was only one security guard searching the storage room, which allowed him to kill him and escape.

However, the body of the murdered security guard was quickly discovered, and soon after, his own figure was also discovered. In addition, his appearance had been made public, so he could only live in hiding for the rest of the time.

After saying goodbye to Lin Leyou, Xue Rui didn't actually go back to his ward to rest. Instead, he quickly went out for a walk again, carefully avoiding other people's gaze and disappearing once more.

After disappearing into the shadows, Xue Rui began wandering around the hospital, eventually managing to spot the building where Lin Leyou was located.

There were a lot of security guards here, as if they were surrounding someone, and he could occasionally see the bodies of security guards being carried out and disposed of.

So the player who was surrounded here is actually quite strong? So many security guards were here, but they couldn't catch him, and he even managed to fight back.

Xue Rui was interested in getting to know this player; perhaps they could collaborate later? In any case, in this instance, players could complete the quest faster by cooperating with each other.

He had already found the reporter, Long Zhou. After confirming the reporter's identity, many things became much simpler. According to his deduction, finding evidence of crimes committed by the hospital was easiest here.

Judging from the current situation, he won't be able to get into this building anytime soon.

I don't know if that player can escape. If not, maybe I can help them a little?

He picked up a stone from the ground, slowly approached the building, and then threw the stone into a nearby patch of greenery. The sound of the stone hitting the ground quickly attracted some security guards who came over to check the situation.

The result was naturally fruitless; nothing was found, and the security guard returned to his original patrol post.

Xue Rui took a deep breath. Throwing a stone would only bring two or three security guards over, but there were at least dozens of security guards in the entire building. There were five or six people patrolling and standing guard at the entrance, and even more on both sides and behind.

It seems this player is in grave danger.

Xue Rui watched from outside for a long time, and finally saw a man running wildly in front of him on the third-floor corridor, with a group of security guards chasing after him.

Within two seconds, the player disappeared from sight, and no one knew where he had hidden.

Xue Rui slowly approached the building's entrance. Since he was currently invisible, the security guards would definitely not be able to see him, as long as he didn't touch anyone.

He carefully dodged his way in, slowly making his way inside. To avoid making any noise, he took off his shoes before entering.

After all, this invisibility item can only make you invisible; it can't hide anything else. But as long as you don't touch anyone else, even if the sound you make is heard, you won't see them.

After about ten minutes, he finally reached the stairs. He definitely didn't dare take the elevator now, because he would be exposed as soon as the elevator doors opened.

Even after reaching the stairs, she didn't dare to go up them carelessly. If that player ran down the stairs with so many security guards chasing after him, one or two of them would inevitably bump into her, and he would definitely be exposed.

With so many security guards on the first floor, he certainly wouldn't dare go directly down the stairs to the first floor. It's more likely that he would hide up and down other floors.

Xue Rui could take this opportunity to go up to the top floor and look for evidence; perhaps he could even see Lin Leyou?

After making his decision, he slowly walked up the stairs. Every now and then, some security guards would come up or down the stairs, but because the player soldier did not take the stairs, there were not many security guards.

Xue Rui never expected to reach the top floor so safely. There he saw several cleaners going in and out of an office, seemingly cleaning something.

By the way, there's a player being chased, so it's also possible that this player didn't come alone, but just died on the top floor.

I never expected him to be so reckless, but luckily he was careful enough.

Lin Leyou was unaware that Xue Rui had arrived so close and was still sleeping with her eyes closed.

Xue Rui wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he waited for the cleaning staff to finish cleaning the office and leave before slowly walking over there.

He just saw that there was no one in the office, and the last cleaning lady closed the door when she left, which means the door wasn't locked!

Heaven is helping me!

Xue Rui excitedly walked to the door and quietly opened it. Of course, he hadn't been wearing shoes the whole way and had walked here barefoot.

There was still a slight noise when the door opened, but he slowed it down to the slowest speed. Fortunately, it could only be heard if you put your ear very close to the door; you couldn't hear it after walking a couple of steps away.

Upon entering the office, Xue Rui felt that the dean's office was indeed impressive, with a great many things and a very complicated layout.
