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 529 [(*^▽^*)]
Moreover, Lin Leyou had never experienced or felt anything related to feelings, and he didn't know if Xue Rui would change. He wasn't even sure if he himself would change, after all, it was decades... not just a few dozen days.
However, Lin Leyou was also very certain that he had developed deep feelings for Xue Rui. He was the kind of person who longed for a stable and secure life. Once he settled down, he would want to live a stable life and would not change his mind easily. Was Xue Rui the same kind of person as him?
Even if there are no feelings left between them, he will continue to maintain their life together. So... will Xue Rui do the same?
Or perhaps his feelings for himself are very deep and will not change?
Qin Xingyu patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, we can figure out how to deal with things in the future after they happen. Worrying about things that haven't happened yet is just needless anxiety and a waste of time."
Lin Leyou let out a long sigh, clearing his mind of all the jumbled thoughts that had been swirling around. "Teacher Qin is right. There's no point in thinking about things that haven't happened yet."
"Anyway, I'm already prepared."
Qin Xingyu: "I'm asking you, how exactly did you find out if he was looking for someone in his own world? Can you tell me?"
Lin Leyou hesitated for a moment, realizing that she really couldn't say it... Should she reveal that she was also an outsider?
He shook his head decisively, "I'm sorry, Teacher Qin, this is something I really can't tell anyone. It's a secret, so please don't ask."
Seeing his serious expression, Qin Xingyu knew that this secret was indeed not to be told casually. "Alright, in that case, be careful. If anything happens, remember to tell me, and I will definitely help you."
"By the way... what if he wants to break up with you..."
Lin Leyou didn't care. "If we want to break up, let's break up peacefully and part amicably. I'm not the kind of person who clings to him shamelessly."
Qin Xingyu, "Then he knows your secret..."
Lin Leyou said, "Teacher Qin, you said it yourself, we're going to separate, not become enemies. If possible, we can still be friends after we separate."
Qin Xingyu paused for a moment before nodding, "You're right. Many couples break up, but they often maintain a good relationship. It doesn't mean they become enemies or never speak to each other again."
Lin Leyou, thinking of Qin Xingyu's experience, didn't say much. "Teacher Qin, I received two outsiders who sought refuge with me before. Now they are my underlings. Why don't you give it a try?"
Qin Xingyu: "Hmm? Is that okay?"
Lin Leyou said, "Give it a try. It should work, as long as I, the BOSS, accept it."
Qin Xingyu: "No problem, I'll give it a try."
Because Qin Xingyu came here using props, although he is a villager NPC, he has no family and is all alone.
He had gone through countless dungeons and had encountered similar situations many times before. He just needed to keep the idea in mind that he should be on the BOSS's side.
Of course, there won't be any system prompts for the villager NPCs; they are just simple NPCs with no quests or anything like that. But there will be prompts for the BOSS.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, Lin Leyou received a system notification that a village had taken the initiative to side with him and asked him if he would accept.
If the villager accepts the offer, then the villager can officially switch sides.
Lin Leyou accepted immediately, "Alright, now you're on my side. Teacher Qin, you're free to do as you please. Kill a few more villagers, or you can kill players too."
Qin Xingyu waved her hand, "I know, you go ahead."
Lin Leyou then left, heading towards the Evil God Temple. As he flew through the air, he waved to Xue Rui from afar.
By this time, Rong Yuwen had led the players for quite some time. Of course, Guo Chengzheng and the others were walking ahead at the beginning, but they were walking a little slower.
After confirming that this was the only way to the Evil God Temple, Rong Yuwen told them to go to the back while he went to the front, which greatly increased their speed.
Moreover, to speed things up, they all took a speed potion, and at this rate, they should be able to reach the evil god's temple before noon.
When Lin Leyou looked at their current location from afar, he was quite surprised. They had already covered a third of the distance, and their speed was quite fast.
He originally intended to set up numerous obstacles along the way, since there were many useful things along the road that could be utilized, and it would be a waste not to use them.
You should know that Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia didn't go there before to target the BOSS, but to switch factions. But this time it's different. These players... are fighting for their own lives.
Since that's the case, I won't hold back anymore. I'll kill whoever I can. Of course, I need to be careful with Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia's lives and not let them get involved.
Lin Leyou flew away quickly and began to set traps using the surrounding objects. These objects were full of yin energy, and some were even ghostly.
Some of them will also produce some unconscious vengeful spirits. Of course, these vengeful spirits are different from those in Xiushan Village. The vengeful spirits here are simply things formed by the combination of resentment and ghostly energy with dense yin energy. They only know how to tirelessly hunt down the living until they dissipate.
These vengeful spirits have very obvious weaknesses: they have no consciousness, so they don't know how to dodge, and they are very fragile. Basically, any weapon in the player's hand can be shattered with a single blow.
However, its advantages are also very obvious. As long as this large area of plants in front of him continues to exude a sinister aura, these vengeful spirits will continue to be generated.
Lin Leyou looked around and saw that there were a lot of ghost plants here. Could it be because of the evil god?
This evil temple... if it really was useless from the beginning, the people of Haitang Village wouldn't have kept using human sacrifices. Never mind, none of that matters. Let's study these vengeful spirits first.
Although vengeful spirits are constantly being generated, they maintain a relatively balanced total number, as if there is an upper limit. No matter how many vengeful spirits there are, they will not exceed this number.
He roughly counted that there were about a thousand vengeful spirits wandering around the area, appearing and disappearing intermittently. If they swarmed at once, they would cause considerable trouble for the players.
I wonder how powerful this vengeful spirit is. Oh well, let's give it a try first, and we'll find out soon enough.
As a vengeful ghost BOSS, Lin Leyou must have the ability to control these vengeful spirits, or rather, these vengeful spirits should be one of his methods as a BOSS.
Guided by him, the vengeful spirits let out shrieks and rushed swiftly toward the path leading to the temple of the evil god. In the blink of an eye, almost half of the vengeful spirits disappeared.
The remaining vengeful spirits quickly followed, afraid of being left behind and missing out on the fresh flesh and blood.
Lin Leyou followed behind, but not too closely, since these players were definitely carrying detection devices, and if he got too close, he might be detected.
From a distance, he could also observe the speed at which the ghostly plants conjured vengeful spirits, and whether they could keep up with the speed at which the players killed them.
The players were still a little distance away from this place. At their current speed, they would arrive in about ten minutes. Lin Leyou looked ahead from a distance in mid-air.
From his vantage point, he could vaguely see figures rushing through the mountains and forests, and he spotted two familiar-looking figures over there.
After all, one of them was nearly two meters tall, making him stand out even among this group of expert players.
Guo Xia is easy to spot; he's either in front of or behind Guo Chengzheng. The two of them together are easy to recognize. Good, we'll be a little better off against them when we surround them later.
Lin Leyou waited for them to approach. They moved quickly, but they did not ignore the situation around the road. He was sure that Rong Yuwen would be able to detect any disturbance immediately.
Fortunately, these vengeful spirits don't lurk or use tricks; they just rely on numbers and speed. Hopefully, these players can hold out for a while.
Lin Leyou controlled these vengeful spirits to float around the path openly, then let go and didn't care much, letting them wander around freely.
Ten minutes passed quickly, and the players appeared not far away. Rong Yuwen spotted the vengeful spirits immediately and shouted, "Stop!"
As soon as they stopped, they saw the vengeful spirits rushing towards them. Countless vengeful spirits shrieked as they charged, as if they wanted to tear them to pieces and devour them.
"Don't panic, we've brought all the prepared tools. Let's try to kill them first..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Rong Yuwen swung his weapon down, killing a vengeful spirit with a single blow. After being struck, the vengeful spirit screamed and vanished into thin air.
He was stunned for a moment when he saw them, not expecting these vengeful spirits to be so fragile. "They're easy to kill. Everyone, don't be too nervous. Let's kill them all quickly so we can continue on our way!"
When Guo Chengzheng and his group came last time, they were certain that these vengeful spirits did not exist. So this time it must have been arranged by the BOSS. Should they kill these vengeful spirits?
Before they could think any further, the vengeful spirits rushed over, not even missing the two of them. Naturally, they couldn't hold back and dealt with them one by one with a single strike.
The number of vengeful spirits on the other side was so great that they had completely surrounded them, and they couldn't even see where the others were. They fought and retreated, and they actually scattered like that.
Of course, Guo Chengzheng and Guo Xia were also separated, and although there weren't many vengeful spirits surrounding them, they were positioned in the middle to prevent other players from seeing what was happening there.
Guo Chengzheng quickly realized the situation and stayed quietly. Guo Xia's situation was a little different. He looked at the stone emitting a faint golden light under his feet with some surprise, and then looked at the vengeful spirits surrounding him but not attacking. He seemed to be thinking about something, and then picked up the stone.
