Chapter 357 [(*^▽^*)]

The two exchanged a surprised glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. If there was anyone in the village who could still be tortured to death, then it was only that one person.

But is that really possible?

Lin Leyou said goodbye to Xue Rui and the uncle, and continued her walk, actually heading in another direction, her pace quickening.

Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, how's the situation?"

Lin Leyou's attention was entirely focused on Zhao Qiang, so even though he had arranged mechanical spiders on the other side, he didn't even look at them!

Looking at it now, wow, it's exactly as they guessed, they've already started fighting!

"Xiao Rui, your parents in the dungeon are really something else, causing so much trouble! I never expected this!"

Xue Rui's parents have now arrived at the village chief's house. On the surface, they are there to apologize to the village chief, and they have also brought some good wine, food, and cigarettes with them.

But actually...

Qin Fengmian was also caught off guard. He probably didn't expect the NPCs to do such a thing. He thought they were really there to apologize, so he was completely unprepared. Despite having so many auxiliary items hidden on him, he was still successfully ambushed by two ordinary NPCs!

Lin Leyou quickened his pace, "Hurry, they've made their move!"

Xue Rui quickly followed, and the two ran forward as fast as they could. They even ran into Zhao Changzhou at the gate of the village chief's house. They were not surprised to see him there.

However, now is not the time for them to chat. They need to hurry inside to prevent the tragedy from happening. Of course, unlike Zhao Changzhou, who came to rescue people, Lin Leyou and his group are here for their own mission.

Zhao Changzhou didn't say anything when he saw them, nor did he even think about their purpose for coming here. He simply kicked open the large iron gate that was still under repair and barged in.

When the three rushed inside, the village chief was already lying on the ground unconscious. He had a wound on his head from being hit with something, and blood was flowing out continuously.

Zhao Changzhou rushed over to stop Xue Rui's parents. The two of them were holding things and were about to throw them. The village chief's wife couldn't stop both of them by herself, and could only manage to stop one.

"You're here! Hurry...hurry and get him to the hospital!"

The three of them were slightly taken aback. Send him to the hospital? Lin Leyou and the others had no idea, but Zhao Changzhou knew they absolutely couldn't send him to the hospital. "There's no time to spare, let's take him to the clinic first!"

The wife quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, let's go to the clinic first, let's go..."

Zhao Changzhou picked up the unconscious village chief and ran out as fast as he could. The old woman followed. Now, only Lin Leyou, Xue Rui, and... remained.

Xue Rui scratched his head in frustration, "What exactly do you want to do?"

They dropped the murder weapon in their hands, and Xue Rui's father sighed deeply, "Eighteen years... We've waited for eighteen years, and eighteen years of anticipation have vanished overnight. Your mother and I really can't accept it."

"We originally planned to knock them both unconscious and torture them properly, after all, he has harmed us for eighteen years... this is what he deserves!"

Xue Rui's mother also looked indifferent, saying, "Even if our intentions weren't pure, it's a fact that we've spoiled you since you were little. Now that you're an adult, you can live a good life even without your parents."

“That old bastard isn’t seriously injured. We shouldn’t be locked up for more than a few years. After we’re arrested, you can move back home. No one will covet your body anymore.”

No sooner had they finished speaking than police officers burst in. They immediately handcuffed the two of them and questioned Lin Leyou and Xue Rui about their situation.

When the police learned that the couple had not only failed to repent and correct their ways after the previous incident was exposed, but had instead continued to use insidious methods to summon the ghosts, and that after failing a few days ago, they wanted to cause trouble for the village chief but were taken away by the police, and were released after admitting their mistakes, they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to take action against the village chief.

"So that's how it is..."

Although the police couldn't understand their feudal superstitions, they were wrong, and the village chief deserved it, but hurting people was unacceptable no matter what.

Late at night, another person was taken away by the police car, and it was Xue Rui's parents, who had just returned home not long ago.

Of course, most people are at home now, and many are unaware that something happened to the village chief.

After Lin Leyou and his group escaped, they went to the clinic and found that the village chief had woken up and seemed to be in good condition, with his head wound bandaged.

The police are here trying to persuade him to go to the hospital for a medical examination to assess his injuries, but the village chief keeps refusing.

His purpose was simply to stay in Jingu Village, but he couldn't say it outright.

"This is all my own fault. Eighteen years ago, I was too talkative and said those things. They actually took them seriously. It was my fault. I didn't explain it to them for the next eighteen years."

"After 18 years of persistence, I feel sorry for the couple and for Xue Rui. I will not pursue the matter with them, police officers... I will not pursue the matter with them."

After learning the whole story, the police sighed deeply. They hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Since the victim wasn't going to pursue the matter, there was nothing they could do.

Just then, Lin Leyou and his team completed their mission, but there was still no notification for the eighth mission, and there were still four days left until the one-month deadline.

Zhao Changzhou, "You've arrived?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "Yes, are you all doing alright?"

Village chief: "It's alright. The doctor said the injury isn't too serious. I just need to rest for a month. After all, I'm getting old..."

He then looked at Xue Rui, "I've never seen you before..."

He asked this question as Qin Fengmian, but he had never actually seen Xue Rui in Infinite City. Lin Leyou took two steps forward and blocked Xue Rui behind him, saying, "They're all grown up, how could everyone have seen them?"

Xue Rui narrowed his eyes and stood obediently behind him without saying a word.

Qin Fengmian didn't ask any further questions. Zhao Changzhou got up and saw them out, and the three of them chatted outside.

"Village chief...is this related to your mission?"

Lin Leyou: "There is indeed a connection."

Zhao Changzhou wouldn't believe it if you said it didn't matter now. "Your mission was to successfully possess Xue Rui's body, even though it has failed."

Zhao Changzhou raised an eyebrow. "Indeed... But speaking of which, you guys are too fierce. You were like that at the Snow Mountain Villa before, and you are like that this time as well. It seems that Brother Qin and I are going to fail this time."

Lin Leyou: "Are there any penalties for failing a small task?"

Zhao Changzhou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. "There was no warning about a penalty, just a notification that the task failed, and then the task details were updated. How many tasks have you guys completed? I'm only on my fifth task so far."

Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "I just completed the seventh task."

He didn't tell him that the eighth task hadn't been updated after he finished his own task, lest he make things worse.

Zhao Changzhou: "I didn't expect you to be so capable. You truly live up to your reputation."

He can't compare to the person who took the Jiang family's gold-plated props back then and is still alive and kicking!

I don't know if everyone in the village who was supposed to be in trouble has disappeared, but no one updated the quests for the next few days until the last day.

Lin Leyou was sitting and eating breakfast when the system updated its tasks.

"System notification: By killing your teammate, you will successfully complete the level and receive ten million points!"

Lin Leyou was taken aback upon hearing the voice, and then asked, "What if I don't kill them?"

He asked, but the system didn't answer. So, if he doesn't kill, will the mission fail? Killing will earn him ten million points, allowing him to successfully leave the game.

Lin Leyou glanced at Xue Rui subconsciously, only to find that Xue Rui was also looking over at that moment, and their eyes met.

Xue Rui chimed in, "Brother Lin, you also received the mission notification to kill teammates and earn ten million points?"

Lin Leyou sighed, "Only we would tell each other about such a mission. Do you think this mission needs to be completed?"

Xue Rui said, "The mission didn't say that failure would result in failure, and I don't want to take action."

Lin Leyou said, "It's not that you'll fail if you don't kill me, but it's not that you can pass the level without killing me either. I have a lot of points, so it doesn't matter if I have a few less. Why don't you kill me? That way you can pass the level 100%."

Xue Rui knew that his suggestion was the best solution, but he firmly refused, "No, I can't lay a hand on Brother Lin!"

Lin Leyou sighed, "Stop joking around, this is the best way. You know that in your heart. After all, you can't afford to fail. If you fail, you'll be doomed!"

Xue Rui still shook his head, "I don't think completing this mission is the best option. It's clearly putting two teammates at odds with each other..."

conspiracy!

Lin Leyou said, "In this dungeon, if one of the two teammates can clear it, the other can also clear it together."

Xue Rui also thought of this, "If the two teammates kill each other, the one who survives can successfully complete the level and get ten million points, but what about the one who dies?"

"Does it mean completing the game together to get five million points, or is there another ending? If there's a bad ending, wouldn't that conflict with the previous conditions?"

Lin Leyou stroked his chin, thought for a long time, and then said somewhat uncertainly, "The rules are fine, so the problem might be with this last task?"

Xue Rui blinked. "Possibly!"

He didn't want to take action, so he had to make Lin Leyou change his mind.

Lin Leyou said, "Forget it, let's eat first. Anyway, there are still more than ten hours until midnight, so there's no need to rush."

Xue Rui was delighted. After dinner, the two went for a walk. They really didn't expect that, apart from the first few days when they arrived in the instance, the rest of the time would be so easy.

Is this really an S-rank difficulty dungeon?

Lin Leyou was living a very comfortable life, and even Xue Rui was happy. After all, in the real world, no one could have such a good life.
