After Rebirth, I Became a Permanent NPC in the Infinite World

Lin Leyou had been trapped by his family his entire life. Right after graduating from high school, he was forced to start working to support them, all because he had just gained a younger brother. ...

Chapter 328 [(*^▽^*)]

Xue Rui: "That's true, anyway, I've already memorized what this doll looks like."

Once you figure out who this doll resembles, you should be able to complete the second task.

Climbing into the coffin and seeing the incredibly realistic doll inside was truly terrifying, even if it wasn't him who climbed in, but a mechanical spider.

But he was using a spider's-eye view with his eyes closed, so it was still very scary and immersive even though it wasn't him.

He was so frightened that the mechanical spider jumped up and crashed into the coffin lid. Fortunately, the spider was small, so there was hardly any sound.

But... he thought there was no sound, but to his surprise, his parents appeared at his room door in a row more than ten seconds later.

Xue Rui was startled when she saw them rushing around while she was sitting on the bed, and quickly asked them what was wrong.

Unexpectedly, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xue Rui sitting on the bed, and hurriedly said that it was nothing, they just came to check if he was asleep.

Xue Rui said she was about to go to sleep and told them to leave quickly. They then glanced discreetly at the wall separating the room, said goodnight softly, and left.

Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief after they closed the door and left. He hadn't expected them to come. Did they hear the sound of the mechanical spider hitting the coffin lid?

That's ridiculous. It shouldn't be possible. He didn't hear any sounds from the side of the wall; the sounds were all coming from the mechanical spiders.

How could that couple have heard it? Did they install a listening device inside?

Xue Rui thought for a moment. They didn't have any headphones or anything like that on them, and they didn't keep their phones in their hands. They were always in their pockets. Was he wrong?

Or is it...?

Xue Rui lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and continued to control the mechanical spider, which crawled around the entire room. Finally, he found a small listening device under the clothes of the doll inside the coffin.

I can't believe it actually exists!

The listening device was placed under the doll's clothes; no wonder it could hear such a faint sound. What's going on with this doll...?

He looked so familiar. Where had he seen him before? He was sure he had seen someone who looked very similar somewhere, but he just couldn't remember.

I've been thinking about it for ages, and it's giving me a real headache. Oh well, I'll wait until tomorrow. Right now, it's more important to chat with Brother Lin.

Lin Leyou: "Just remember that. I just finished my first task."

Xue Rui hurriedly asked for details of what happened, and Lin Leyou talked to him for a long time before explaining it clearly, "So the second task is still a bit difficult, especially since leaving the area of ​​Jingu Village will deduct points."

Xue Rui also inquired with his system, how disgusting! If he hadn't known this beforehand... he would have left Jingu Village with the police, or left Jingu Village for a while for other reasons.

Wouldn't I lose all my points?

Oh, no, when they realize they don't have enough points to lose, they'll definitely choose to commit suicide immediately, and the points won't be deducted anymore after they die.

You can simply wait for your teammates to fail so you can lose points together, or wait for your teammates to successfully complete the level so you can win without any effort.

Xue Rui gasped, "With so few points, I'd lose them all in just a few tens of minutes away from Jingu Village, and..."

Lin Leyou said, "Moreover, this time we can only successfully pass the level, we can't fail, you know that, failing will deduct five million points."

Xue Rui's expression was also somewhat solemn. "I know, Brother Lin, I don't have five million points at all. If I fail, my points will be deducted to a negative number, and I will die."

Lin Leyou said, "I don't want to never see you again, so let's help each other out and finish these tasks as soon as possible."

"But then again, completing the first task didn't even reward points. If each task had a point reward, then even if we failed in the end, we might not lose all our points."

Xue Rui: "You can't have your cake and eat it too, but to be honest, this dungeon is full of pitfalls, and you can easily fall into one if you're not careful."

Even Xue Rui has sighed more than once that S-level difficulty dungeons are indeed beyond his current capabilities, but how did he end up in such a difficult dungeon?

Wait! Could it be because Lin Leyou is here too?

Lin Leyou explained that he didn't come alone; he was brought by Huang Bing, another NPC. The difficulty of this dungeon is random, and they weren't very lucky, as they were randomly assigned a deadly S-rank difficulty!

Lin Leyou said, "I still don't know how to clear my name. Huang Bing died close to midnight last night, and I was sleeping at home at that time."

Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, did your mechanical spider see anyone go to his house?"

Lin Leyou: "Not at all, everything was calm all night..."

Wait a minute, it seems he didn't keep an eye on the village all night; he went to sleep around midnight!

Huang Bing was killed after midnight, in the early morning hours. Goodness, did he know he was asleep before he went to kill him?

Does my mechanical spider have a recording function?

It was only then that he remembered to check if this function existed, and after checking carefully, he found that it really did!

However, the videos stored inside can only be saved for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the previously recorded images and sounds will be overwritten in real time. In other words, after midnight tonight, or even after midnight, the videos from the early morning will be overwritten and completely disappeared.

Lin Leyou began to examine the footage taken after midnight last night for each of the mechanical spiders.

As it turned out, he actually made a discovery. The first thing he checked was the spider on the mountain that had a view of the entire village. He found that around 1:30 a.m., a dark shadow had flashed by in some places in the village.

But the distance was too far, and he couldn't be sure what the shadowy figure was, where it came from, or where it went. Moreover, the shadowy figure was very good at hiding, and he only saw glimpses of it in places where it was inconvenient to hide.

Lin Leyou then searched for mechanical spiders near the place where the shadowy figure appeared, and finally identified one of the mechanical spiders and recorded the person's face!

Lin Leyou had no choice but to admit that Jiang Xiaming had actually killed his own teammate for 1 million points, and then he was still thinking of clearing the game?

After clearing the level, you'll receive another 5 million points, bringing the total to 6 million points.

For others, an S-rank difficulty dungeon might be truly difficult and insurmountable, but for Jiang Xiaming, it might already be a piece of cake.

After all, he had heard Jiang Xiali talk about his cousin before. Jiang Xiaming had previously cleared an SS-level difficulty dungeon and even went to the super high-difficulty dungeon that Jiang Xiali's father could only enter with the defensive item.

It's the dungeon where Jiang Xia's father gets the talent card; it's a really dangerous dungeon.

Jiang Xiaming went, and although it's unclear whether he ultimately gained or lost, he did participate.

So Jiang Xiali thinks he doesn't need his teammates' support, and that killing him will earn him an extra 1 million points, right?

Lin Leyou thought about it more and more and felt that his guess was correct, but there was no need to share this with Xue Rui. Xue Rui's strength was still a bit... It was better to wait until he became stronger before telling him.

I wish there were an item that could keep him in the infinite world. I wonder if such an item even exists.

Lin Leyou shook off such unrealistic thoughts and continued to observe the video he had just seen. Apart from that short ten-second clip, the other videos were of little value.

It's not that I didn't get a picture, it's that I only managed to capture a silhouette from behind or from the side; in short, it's worthless.

Fortunately, the ten-second video was very clear. Although Jiang Xiaming was wearing a hat and a mask in the video, Lin Leyou recognized him at a glance. It was definitely him!

Lin Leyou couldn't help but sigh. Jiang Xiaming was truly amazing. He could kill someone like Huang Bing so easily, without even alerting the villagers. He silently took down Huang Bing in the dark of night.

I wonder if Jiang Xiaming will come looking for trouble with me again tonight. After all, I just offended him during the day, and... I imagine his whole family still can't let go of the grudge over that gold-plated prop.

Later, they even colluded with an employee of the Bureau of Order Management, whose name was... something like that, to pinpoint his location and assassinate him.

I heard that in the end no one came out on top, but the Jiang family was fine.

Jiang Xiaoyue was the only one who ran into a very remote instance, and it's said that it will take several years to get out.

Lin Leyou sighed deeply. The most important thing now is to find out how Huang Bing's death is related to Jiang Xiaming from Jingu Village, the highway police officer!

Even now, the police haven't left. There are still people moving around in Huang Bing's house, and many police officers are collecting evidence inside. Lin Leyou thinks that if he wants to frame... no, if he wants the police to find the real murderer as soon as possible, he should put some evidence in the house as soon as possible.

Once they've finished their investigation, thoroughly searched every corner of the land, and then we've managed to gather evidence, they definitely won't believe it.

And so, Lin Leyou controlled the mechanical spider to move towards Jiang Xiaming's house, quietly approaching it.

However, after getting close, he didn't dare to go in. Lin Leyou didn't dare to underestimate Jiang Xiaming's strength at all. His mechanical spider was just a blue-grade item.

It's alright in the village because it's outside. But if you go to Jiang Xiaming's house, who knows how many props he's put up to prevent other things from invading his territory.

etc!

Lin Leyou paused the mechanical spider's actions, then suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

By the way, there are likely props watching over Jiang Xiaming's place, preventing other people's props from entering, or serving as a reminder.

After all, if we block them, wouldn't that be the same as all the other dungeon participants shouting, "I'm doing the same thing"?

So... let's get back to the main topic.

Did Jiang Xiaming use some sophisticated tools to sneak into my house...?
