Chapter 251 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou, however, thought that he had just picked up the book as an excuse, but in reality, he was probably checking whether the bookshelf was a trap.

Or perhaps we could look for hidden entrances at the back, but unfortunately, all the bookshelves in this music room were just simple bookshelves, without any mechanisms whatsoever.

Lin Leyou saw the music-related books scattered all over the floor, but didn't see anything related to the piano, so she wasn't particularly angry.

He whispered, "Just clean it up, no need to apologize. Be careful in the future, the books on the other bookshelves are very important, don't knock them over."

The books on this bookshelf happen to be unrelated to the piano, while more than half of the books on the other bookshelves are related to the piano, which shows his love for the piano.

The players realized that the boss seemed to really like the piano, so they didn't do anything special. Instead, they went over to help prop up the bookshelf and put the scattered books back on.

As for where these books were originally placed, they had no idea; they just put them down wherever they felt like, and he didn't seem to care much about them.

While they were packing up, Lin Leyou returned to her piano, sat down, and continued the countdown, making the most of the time.

After cleaning up, the players were all troubled. The person who had been chatting and laughing with them and teaching them to play the piano was now sitting by their piano in a daze.

His eyes were vacant as he stared at the piano keys, looking like a puppet.

"What do we do now? Should we just search inside? What if he thinks we're being rude and kills us? There's not even an exit; we're doomed."

"Do we have a choice? We have to search everywhere. As for whether he'll get angry... how about we have one person stay here and keep an eye on him, while the others thoroughly search this music room?"

"I have no objection, but who's going to keep an eye on him here?"

After these words, everyone fell silent for a moment. Finally, their eyes were all on one of the boys, who looked rather thin, with arms as thin as sticks.

His lips twitched, which was a tacit agreement. "I understand. I'll keep an eye on it, okay? Hurry up and look for it. If he reacts, I'll remind you immediately."

"Then we're counting on you! Our lives are in your hands!"

He nodded calmly, but his heart was pounding. Who knew if he would have time to warn them? He might be killed before he could even speak, and his corpse would serve as a warning to the other players.

The boss has really gone berserk!

Lin Leyou didn't care what they did, as long as they didn't discover the door to his lounge. Of course, even if they found the key fragment for the mission item, so what?

These players will definitely die here. Of course, Lin Leyou won't be foolish enough to wait until they actually find the key fragments before taking action.

He should kill them one by one as they search for the key fragments, making it less likely that they will team up against him.

If they find the key fragment and then I take action, they will definitely unite, or they might even scatter when disaster strikes, since the music room is now useless once the key fragment is in hand.

No more players will come after that. Even if one or two slip through the net, there won't be enough to gather ten players, and he will still fail the mission.

Although the points deducted for failing a mission are not many, and he doesn't care, he didn't come to participate in the dungeon this time for points, but to clear the dungeon and upgrade his items.

Lin Leyou suddenly looked up at the thin man standing next to him, who was startled by his gaze. "Holy crap! He looked at me!"

Players in the distance looked over and were relieved to see that Lin Leyou was just staring at the other person without making any other moves.

"Be careful, we haven't found anything yet."

Lin Leyou blinked inwardly. These guys are talking so loudly, do they really think he can't hear them?

But he really should pretend he didn't hear that for now. He asked, "Do you like the piano?"

The player was sweating bullets when asked the question. Should he say he liked it, or disliked it? Or was it better to say nothing at all?

Seeing that he was sweating profusely but remained tightly pursed and silent, Lin Leyou asked again, "Do you like the piano?"

A player nearby immediately whispered to him, "Say you like it, you idiot!"

Upon hearing this, the player standing near Lin Leyou was on the verge of tears. What if he said he liked it, and the BOSS said, "Since you like it, then stay and be my piano"?

Fortunately, Lin Leyou isn't the kind of pervert who would turn players into pianos.

He stared intently at the player and asked for the third time, "Do you like the piano?"

In fact, as a pianist, Lin Ying didn't have such a persona. He just thought it was fun and also wanted to practice his acting skills.

In preparation for more difficult dungeons in the future.

Lin Leyou's piercing gaze terrified the player. However, the BOSS hadn't made a move yet. He knew that if he attacked now, he wouldn't be able to kill the BOSS immediately. Instead, he would only provoke him, and then none of the players here would survive.

He swallowed hard and replied, "I like it."

Lin Leyou tilted her head and stared at him, "So, do you like my piano?"

After answering the first question, the player felt much better. Although the second question was still a bit scary, he was able to answer it.

"I like it too; this piano is so beautiful."

Anyway, this boss seems to really love the piano; all he needs to do is praise him!

Sure enough, after he said that, the BOSS seemed very happy, and a smile appeared on his previously expressionless face. "I knew you would all like my piano."

Although the location of the key fragment is unknown—the location wasn't told to this NPC—he is unaware of it. All he can do is stop the players before they find it.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed very beautiful, and everyone likes it very much."

As soon as the player said those words, Lin Leyou's expression suddenly turned icy cold. "If you like it so much, why can't you play the piano?"

The player in front of him was one of the few who hadn't stayed to continue receiving instruction from Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou remembered him, and now that he was being asked this question, the cold sweat he had just wiped away instantly returned.

Fortunately, Lin Leyou didn't make a move, which calmed him down a bit.

Now! I didn't make a move earlier because I saw that this player was extremely nervous, his whole body tense like a fully drawn bow. If I had made a move earlier, I definitely wouldn't have been able to hit him with one strike.

Now that he's relaxed, this is the perfect opportunity. So... he won't hold back!

Lin Leyou immediately pulled out the cursed dagger and slashed at his neck, severing his head in one blow.

When his head fell to the ground with a thud and his body slowly collapsed, the other players realized he was dead. His head even rolled twice in their direction due to inertia, and finally, his eyes were wide open, staring at them with unseeing eyes.

Several timid newcomers were so frightened that they screamed. Fortunately, even though their mouths were covered, they didn't disturb the BOSS who had killed a player and then started to daze.

"Don't make a sound, what if the BOSS comes over?"

Everyone quieted down, but what were they going to do now? They hadn't found any clues yet, and one player had died, leaving only six.

"Should we send someone to keep an eye on the BOSS?"

"Go where? Going there is just suicide!"

"Yeah, let's hurry up and find it. Once we find the quest item, we'll leave immediately."

"Can you get away?"

"Whether we can escape or not is another matter. Right now, finding the quest items is more important. Have you all found any clues? Let's hurry up and search before the BOSS notices us!"

"If the BOSS starts chasing us down, this music room looks big, but it's actually not that big. We'll definitely be wiped out!"

"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and find it!"

As a result, they searched for more than an hour, looking through every corner of the music room, but they couldn't find anything. Of course, they had previously discovered that a section of the floor was hollow underneath.

But I had already opened it and checked it before. It was indeed hollow at the bottom, but there was nothing there. It was a complete waste of time.

"Should we tap on the wall to see if there are any hollow parts?"

"Then let's give it a try."

"All the bookshelves have been moved, and everything has been touched; there are no hidden mechanisms."

"Hidden so well?"

"Isn't there still one thing we haven't searched? There's also a patch of land around that thing that we haven't searched."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, and then all eyes turned to Lin Leyou. If there was any place that hadn't been searched yet, it would be the piano in front of Lin Leyou and the ground beneath it.

"So, is it over there?"

He swallowed as he asked the question.

"Are you going?"

Why didn't you go?

"How could I possibly be a match for the BOSS? Let's attack together!"

"I don't think the chances of winning are very high."

"So what do we do now? Just wait?"

"Will this boss go for a rest?"

"Should we look for things again while he goes to rest?"

"I think if he's going to rest, he'll definitely kill us all before he leaves, so there might be a time limit on the quest items we find here."
