Chapter 258 [(*^▽^*)]

They had lost all interest in quest items and just wanted to leave!

But, do we really need to use that item? The item is randomized; what if it lands in an even more dangerous location?

Not only will they die, but they'll also waste a very valuable item.

But... he just died here...

Just then, Wu Leng's right knee was shot by Xue Rui, and Lin Leyou took advantage of the moment before they could react to stab him with a knife.

And so, Wu Leng died.

Wu Leng was the one who smashed the piano, so Lin Leyou hated him very much. Even after killing him, she was still not satisfied and stomped on him several times before finally turning her gaze to Wu Feng.

Wu Feng disappeared in the next second, having used a prop.

Xue Rui leaned over and said, "One got away."

Lin Leyou nodded, looking somewhat regretful. "Oh well, if they've run away, they've run away. There's nothing I can do about chasing them."

Xue Rui suddenly said, "If I run into him later, how about I kill him for you?"

Lin Leyou nodded without hesitation, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you! You absolutely must kill him!"

Xue Rui: "No problem."

In this instance, the system did not prohibit players from killing each other, so players can kill each other, and the system will even reward points after killing a player.

The two brothers were killed by his own actions, so Zhou Lin is left... This person can't just stay here and do nothing, can she?

Zhou Lin was starting to panic. After all, Wu Feng and Wu Leng were gone and dead, and Xue Rui had even turned against the BOSS. Now, she was the only player left who was hostile to the BOSS.

Even if she wanted to follow Xue Rui's example and defect to the BOSS's side, she couldn't, because she had just attacked the BOSS, and the little props she had put on him were still hanging on him.

To be honest, this little gadget isn't really that useful. It's just that once it's attached to a person, she can control it to release three undetectable electric shocks.

If a person is in good physical condition, the effect of each of the three electric shocks will be weaker than the last; if a person is in poor physical condition, the effect of each of the three electric shocks will be stronger than the last.

The last time, he could even knock someone unconscious with an electric shock, unlike this BOSS. The third time, Zhou Lin didn't even see him pause at all, and she didn't even feel anything.

So this BOSS is really strong.

As the two approached, Zhou Lin silently raised her hands. "Can I surrender?"

Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. "Sure, come over here."

Zhou Lin, "Am I really okay?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "I promise."

His smile was quite convincing, but the bloodstains on his body were a bit scary. Xue Rui didn't say anything, because he didn't think this BOSS would release Zhou Lin.

Sure enough, as Zhou Lin slowly got up and walked in another direction with some doubt, Lin Leyou stopped her from a distance, asking, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Lin's eyebrows twitched. "Are you going to go back on your word?"

Lin Leyou was somewhat confused. "Take my things first, then we'll talk."

Only then did Zhou Lin remember the prop she had placed on Lin Leyou. The prop was actually useless now, but she absolutely couldn't say that.

This item, which only she knows about, must not be taken down; it's the only thing she can use to threaten the BOSS right now.

Once she's taken down, she definitely won't live long.

She leaned against the wall and thought for a long time before hesitantly saying, "I can't help with this..."

Lin Leyou didn't tolerate her at all. Anyway, he had already killed nine players and only needed to complete one more mission. In that case, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with taking action now.

Before Zhou Lin could finish speaking, Lin Leyou took advantage of her inattention, rushed over, and before she could react, slashed her with his knife.

Just moments ago, Zhou Lin was cautiously considering what to say, but now she has no chance to speak at all; her life has ended at Lin Leyou's hands.

He watched Zhou Lin's head fall to the ground, then looked away, quietly wiping the sharp knife in his hand clean, muttering to himself, "I promise... I promise to let you leave this world without pain."

Xue Rui suddenly burst out laughing.

Lin Leyou asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's so funny?"

Xue Rui shook his head. "There's nothing funny about it. I just think they're all so stupid."

Lin Leyou walked over to the piano and sat down. "Right, right? It's really stupid. They believe everything I say. Don't they realize I'm lying to them?"

Xue Rui suddenly pulled out his piece of paper. "The outsiders have all been cleared away. Can you translate this for me now?"

Lin Leyou was in a good mood. After glancing at his papers, she suddenly said, "The most beautiful treasure?"

Xue Rui thought of the stone slab that Wu Feng and the others had, which said "the most beautiful piano," and the one on his paper was "the most beautiful treasure."

Is it the most beautiful piano that has been treasured?

Xue Rui suddenly looked longingly at Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou had completed his mission and received 5,000 points for completing the mission, as well as 2,000 points for killing ten players, for a total of 7,000 points.

Lin Leyou noticed his gaze, but in a good mood, he decided to ignore it.

Xue Rui suddenly said, "Tell me about it..."

Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised by his sudden, coquettish remark. He looked at Xue Rui, noticed the change in his expression, and sighed.

"You found it?"

Xue Rui blinked. "Before Brother Lin said that, I was just guessing, not certain."

Lin Leyou, "How did you find out?"

Xue Rui said, "I'm very familiar with many of Brother Lin's little tricks. You can tell them off after watching for a while."

Lin Leyou sighed, "I'm really defeated by you..."

Xue Rui: "Um... could you tell me about the quest items? Brother Lin, have you completed your quest?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "It's definitely done."

Xue Rui: "In that case, we won't have any conflict."

Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. "I've given you all the clues. Go find it yourself. Anyway, it's in this music room. I won't stop you."

Xue Rui had no choice but to find it himself. Of course, he didn't blame Lin Leyou. Every instance was a valuable experience, and he couldn't keep relying on others.

He was immediately intrigued by the pile of piano fragments on the ground, so he went over and examined each piece of the wreckage.

Of course, in the end nothing was found.

However, he discovered something else: the floor beneath the pile of debris made a strange sound when he tapped a particular piece.

After he pried open the floorboards with something, he saw what was inside and immediately felt that he had found the right place. There was a box about the size of two palms underneath.

Lin Leyou also came over to take a look. He had no idea that there was a box hidden under the floorboards beneath the piano. "Open it and take a look."

Xue Rui, "Brother Lin doesn't know what's inside either?"

Lin Leyou said, "I don't know either. This isn't my task. Quickly open it and see if it's what you want."

Xue Rui nodded and carefully opened the box. There were no mechanisms or anything like that inside, but a small music box shaped like a piano was inside.

Lin Leyou, "Is this what you need?"

Xue Rui blinked. He wasn't sure if this was what he was looking for, but it was definitely important. He didn't say anything and examined the music box thoroughly.

In the end, we couldn't find anything, and even after we got the item, there was no system notification that we had obtained the quest item.

Therefore, this music box is merely a prop in the middle of the puzzle.

Xue Rui turned to look at Lin Leyou, "Brother Lin."

Lin Leyou shook his head, "I don't know, don't ask me, this has nothing to do with me, find the clues yourself."

He wasn't lying on purpose; he genuinely didn't know and had no leads. "I really don't know."

Xue Rui looked at Lin Leyou carefully and found that he was indeed not lying.

"Brother Lin...can I take this apart?"

Lin Leyou: "Take it apart as you please."

Xue Rui was overjoyed and began to carefully disassemble the music box. In the end, he actually found the quest item he had been longing for in the corner between two parts inside the music box.

When Lin Leyou saw him shouting that he had found it, he also went over to take a look. He saw a piece of material about the size of an eastern finger, with broken edges on the left and right sides and regular patterns on the top and bottom. It was clearly the middle part of a key.

Lin Leyou: "Did you find it this time?"

Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, that's it. I didn't expect it to be so simple."

Lin Leyou didn't think it was simple at all. "How is it simple?"

Xue Rui thought about it carefully for a long time before saying, "Okay, I've taken advantage of Brother Lin again this time."

Lin Leyou: "It's good that you know."

Xue Rui: "But I didn't do it on purpose. Every time I see Brother Lin, I feel a sense of novelty and warmth."

As he spoke, he gently embraced Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou didn't know how to respond to him, as his words were rather cheesy.

Moreover, whether in his past life or this life, he had never been so close to anyone, not even his parents, or his blood-related younger brother.

He gave everything hoping that his family would improve their attitude towards him, but he never got that improvement in his entire life until his death. He never imagined that he would get so close to someone who was not related to him by blood!

If this had happened before, Xue Rui himself wouldn't have believed that he was the one standing here now.

Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "Are you leaving?"

Xue Rui glanced at the countdown timer. "I'm leaving, Brother Lin..."

Lin Leyou said, "Then you can leave. I'll allow you to leave. I'll go open the door later and personally see you out!"

Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, I'm taking this!"

Lin Leyou: "It was originally meant for you."

Now was definitely not the time for them to talk. Lin Leyou escorted him to the front gate, then opened the gate and saw him out. "You must succeed!"

Xue Rui smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Lin."
