Chapter 354 [(*^▽^*)]

Because the talent cannot be used in this instance, the talent card has remained in Lin Leyou's inventory without being used.

Xue Rui: "Something bad might happen soon."

Lin Leyou, "Be careful these next few days. If anything seems amiss, run away immediately and find the police!"

Xue Rui was stunned when he saw this. Was he going to find the police instead of him?

Lin Leyou glanced at him. "What's the use of looking for me?"

Okay, in this instance, finding Lin Leyou isn't very useful; you have to find the police.

Even if Lin Leyou could beat them, he couldn't lay a hand on them, otherwise he'd be taken in for questioning by the police—the "tea of ​​death"!

And so, time passed slowly as they waited, and on the evening of the twentieth day, Xue Rui saw his extremely excited parents.

Their faces were beaming with joy today, and their dinner was much more lavish than before, with plenty of meat, fish, snacks, and even desserts—clearly bought from outside.

Xue Rui knew immediately that today should be the last day.

Xue Rui's mother said, "Xiao Rui, come and eat quickly. These are all your favorite dishes, and these desserts were specially bought by your dad today!"

Xue Rui walked over and sat down, completely unconcerned. "How can I possibly finish all this? What day is it today?"

Xue Rui's mother paused slightly in her busy work, but then smiled and said, "We don't have any special occasions, we just want to be good to you. You are your parents' most precious child!"

Xue Rui thought to himself, "The most precious child? Have they forgotten about the little baby that was exposed before?"

I wonder what their expressions will be when they realize they're still themselves tomorrow. "Let's eat together, it's such a waste that I can't finish all this."

They hadn't planned to leave immediately, so they were happy to stay for dinner with Xue Rui. Although they were eating together, they kept serving food to Xue Rui.

While he ate casually, Xue Rui felt a chill run down his spine seeing this. If he were truly the Xue Rui in this instance…

If you are completely unaware of all this, you might actually be killed by these parents in the end, your body would become the possession of your so-called younger brother, and you would disappear forever.

However, Xue Rui did indeed enjoy eighteen years of pampering, and not a single day was unpleasant for him. His parents always sided with him.

Is this compensation enough?

If it were the original owner of this body, would he be willing or not?

Xue Rui snapped out of his reverie. Thinking about it now was pointless; for him, the important thing was to complete his mission successfully.

The dinner lasted a long time, and the parents didn't leave until after 8 p.m., their eyes glancing over the corner where the special box was kept before they left.

Xue Rui naturally noticed, but he pretended not to see anything and sent them away.

Xue Rui originally intended to go find Lin Leyou, but unexpectedly, after leaving, the couple did not go home, but instead went to a nearby place and hid in a relatively secluded spot.

It seems these two are planning to stay here all night and then come knocking on the door first thing in the morning to welcome their precious little one.

Since that's the case, Xue Rui had no choice but to take out his phone and send a message to Lin Leyou to tell him about the situation.

Lin Leyou said, "It's okay. I'll keep watch near your place first thing tomorrow morning. If they make a move, I'll call the police immediately."

Xue Rui, "Aren't the police on the mountain?"

Lin Leyou said, "I asked a policeman for his phone number before, and this policeman has always been in the village."

Xue Rui: "Awesome, Brother Lin."

Something else happened tonight. After finishing his conversation with Xue Rui, Lin Leyou suddenly discovered that Zhao Changzhou had left his home and gone to the village chief's house.

It's almost nine o'clock at night, and these two are definitely discussing what's going to happen tomorrow. Their mission is indeed related to Xue Rui!

It's just a pity that they were destined to fail.

Lin Leyou didn't let his mechanical spiders get too close. Who knew if they had any detection and monitoring devices? If they did, killing his spiders would be quite easy.

They weren't close, but they could still hear bits and pieces of each other's conversation.

But as I listened, they were just chatting idly and didn't talk about anything related to the mission.

Lin Leyou didn't find it strange, after all, he and Xue Rui sometimes communicated by phone, and Zhao Changzhou and Qin Fengmian must have other means of communication.

In short, the fact that they've all gathered together today proves that the guess that today is the last day is correct.

Lin Leyou did not act rashly. While monitoring them, he also paid attention to Zhao Qiang and his wife, and even Qin Jiao and Hua Jiao were not overlooked.

He hadn't forgotten that the village chief hadn't been particularly well-behaved during this time either; Qin Jiao and Qin Jiao were a pure player duo.

In their view, the village chief was definitely trustworthy. They never imagined that a player would become the village chief, just like them, and come to complete the game.

As the village chief, Qin Fengmian only needs to give them some wrong hints, and he might be able to get these two players to do things for him without their knowledge.

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui dared not make any underhanded moves at this time. In any case, the biggest hidden danger had been eliminated, so it was up to them to deal with it. They could just adapt to the situation.

This night was destined to be long. Lin Leyou didn't sleep, Xue Rui didn't sleep, Zhao Changzhou and Qin Fengmian didn't sleep either, and even the couple were hiding outside the house, planning to stay up all night.

Under Lin Leyou's observation, he discovered that the two players, Huajiao and Qinjiao, were also huddled together and not sleeping, and he wondered what they were planning to do.

Time passed by, and everyone basically experienced what it meant for a second to feel like a year. Although time seemed to be moving very slowly, what was coming would still come.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Leyou got up and left through the back door, heading up the mountain. Of course, he didn't try to hide his actions; he was certain that Zhao Changzhou and the other man knew about it.

Zhao Changzhou noticed as expected. "He went up the mountain. Should we go with him?"

Qin Fengmian said, "If it succeeds, there's no point in him going now, and we don't need to go either. If it fails, there's no point in us going either."

Zhao Changzhou: "You're right, just wait for the news."

Qin Fengmian, "What are your thoughts on those two women?"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Changzhou's eyes. "You're an outsider, aren't you?"

Qin Fengmian: "That's probably right. Should we deal with it? What do you think?"

Zhao Changzhou said, "If there's no conflict, we don't need to worry about them. It's best not to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, this dungeon is S-rank in difficulty, so we have to be careful."

Qin Fengmian had no objection; he thought so too.

After Lin Leyou went up the mountain, he quietly went to the back door of the house, but Xue Rui did not open the door.

He stood in the woods not far from the back door, looking at the house from afar, as if waiting for something. This leisurely state made Zhao Changzhou, who was secretly observing, feel that something was not right.

Something's not right.

Qin Fengmian, "Something's not right?"

Just as Zhao Changzhou was about to speak, Qin Fengmian suddenly said, "It's dawn."

That's what he said, but the sun hadn't risen yet; only the first rays of white appeared in the eastern sky, which was considered daylight.

When Xue Rui's parents saw the first ray of light, they immediately got up and rushed forward, as if their eyes could only see the inconspicuous and even somewhat dilapidated house in front of them.

They rushed to the door, but instead of knocking immediately, they hurriedly tidied themselves up.

"Okay, shall we knock?"

"Will knocking on the door now disturb Xiaobao's sleep?"

"Is this his first time sleeping? Poor thing, my little darling..."

"He can sleep every day from now on. Today is the first day. Let him come out and see the sun. Xiao Bao will definitely love it. I dream about him saying he wants to stand in the sun every time I dream!"

Knock on the door!

Xue Rui's mother gently clenched her fist and then placed it on the door. Although the knocking was very soft, it was still very early. Although there was some light in the east, it was still pitch black here due to the many trees on the mountain.

However... even if the knocking was very soft, it was still quite jarring to Xue Rui, who hadn't slept at all. Was he really that impatient?

How much must they love that little baby who died young?

Xue Rui curled his lips into a sarcastic smile, then slowly got up and only reached out to unlock the door after the knocking had been repeated three times.

He unlocked the door, but instead of opening it immediately, he slowly and carefully opened it a crack.

Xue Rui's mother's voice came from outside, "Xiao Bao?"

Upon hearing "Xiao Bao," Xue Rui slammed the door shut behind him, sending it crashing against the wall with a loud bang.

Instead of the baby they had been dreaming of, Xue Rui's parents appeared before him, but Xue Rui himself, who was extremely subservient!

"Well, you're still up to no good! What tricks have you played that I don't know about? You actually came knocking on my door so early in the morning and called me Xiao Bao? I really thought you knew you were wrong and were being nice to me!"

Xue Rui launched into a tirade of accusations, but his parents paid no heed. All they knew was that the person standing before them wasn't Xiao Bao, but Xue Rui himself.

What's going on?

They lived in fear and trembling for eighteen years, only to end up with nothing.

Xue Rui continued to mock them, "I always said that feudal superstition is no good. I don't know who fooled you into thinking it was useful. Don't you have brains? You actually believed it?"

"You're asking me what happened? How would I know what happened? Do you need to ask the people who taught you this? I think they just think you're easy to fool and are just playing you for a fool!"

"How can someone who's dead come back? You guys are completely out of touch with reality! You've all gone mad!"

The couple didn't hear anything else, but they did hear the phrase "Who taught you this? Ask them!"
