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 550 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui immediately pulled him up a short distance, saying, "He has testing equipment in his hands."
This person is walking around near the demolished evil god temple ahead, looking as if he is looking for something. Could it be that he has discovered something?
Xue Rui: "It's Zhou Nanyue."
Lin Leyou blinked. "What? Zhou Nanyue?"
To be honest, he didn't recognize it at first, but he didn't expect it to be... He took a closer look before he was sure that it really was Zhou Nanyue's figure!
He assumed that some players didn't believe what Rong Yuwen and the others said, so they came here to verify the situation. Besides, they needed to hide their identities while they were here, so he didn't think much of it.
Only after Xue Rui reminded him did he realize that the person was Zhou Nanyue.
Lin Leyou said, "I really didn't expect Zhou Nanyue to be so thoughtful. Compared to last time... it's like she's a completely different person."
Adversity can numb and despair people, or it can make them stronger, even a villain.
Xue Rui, "Kill him?"
Lin Leyou said, "Let's wait a bit. Isn't Guo Xia coming this way? Once he gets here, we'll let him handle it, and we can just assist him from the sidelines."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
There is a bounty on Zhou Nanyue in a relatively hidden forum in the real world. The bounty in the real world and the bounty in the endless world can earn you at least hundreds of thousands of points for killing him!
Moreover... Guo Xia's identity in the real world is still official, so it wouldn't be bad if they helped him out a little.
Guo Xia started relatively late, but he was fast and could just rush straight ahead without having to go around, which saved a lot of time.
Zhou Nanyue's situation was much more difficult. He couldn't be discovered by anything, nor could he make any noise, so he had to be careful and deliberate in every move.
For example, right now, he only needs to walk around the area to get a general idea of the surrounding situation, but he can only move little by little, keeping his eyes and ears open, wishing he could have eyes all over his body.
"At his current speed, it would probably take him less than a day to find the original location of the evil god's temple, but that would be enough for Guo Xia to arrive."
Xue Rui said, "Well, let's not alarm him for now, lest we alert him and make him wary, then it will be more difficult for Guo Xia to deal with him."
Lin Leyou said, "There's only one of him. The two of us plus Guo Xia shouldn't let him escape."
Xue Rui: "Not necessarily. If there are special props, it's still possible."
Lin Leyou, "He has a lot of props on him?"
Xue Rui, "I heard that he deliberately snipes other players in many dungeons, just for points and the random items dropped by them."
Lin Leyou: "I see, I think I understand now..."
Xue Rui said, "Let Guo Xia deal with him. Guo Xia has been investigating him for a long time, so he must have a way to deal with him."
Lin Leyou had no objections, "I'll listen to you."
The two of them floated quietly in the air in the distance, watching Zhou Nanyue search slowly in the vicinity for a long time, but he still couldn't find anything.
He tried various methods to find what might be a ghostly illusion or hallucination, but nothing. Everything he had seen so far was real!
In other words, there are no places or objects nearby that have been deliberately hidden by ghosts.
Even Zhou Nanyue, who was prone to suspicion, found it hard to believe after confirming the situation. "Could we really have been deceived by the villagers?"
Even if he doesn't believe it, he has no choice but to accept this viewpoint, so should he go back now?
The puppet he had placed in the cabin has been discovered and is now in Rong Yuwen's hands. What explanation will he give when he returns? Will he simply say that he doesn't believe the stone coffin wasn't found at the Evil God Temple, so he came to check on it separately?
Zhou Nanyue touched her chin. This explanation seemed plausible; it was a reasonable suspicion.
He wanted to go back, but looking at the destroyed temple of the evil god, he still felt somewhat unwilling. He always felt that there was something here that he hadn't discovered, but he couldn't find it, he just couldn't find it!
"Could it be that the search area isn't large enough?"
Zhou Nanyue has always trusted his own feelings. He has won many victories and faced many dangers because of this sense of crisis in the past, and he still chooses to trust his feelings now.
Zhou Nanyue, who originally intended to leave, continued to search the surroundings. Unlike before, this time he went further and took out a machete to cut down all the weeds and low shrubs in front of him.
This will clear a path.
Of course, even Zhou Nanyue herself didn't think there could be anything in such a densely overgrown place. The presence of so many weeds and shrubs indicated that the villagers hadn't done anything there.
Zhou Nanyue cut down a lot of weeds around the area, basically clearing it out. Apart from some insects and ants that are common in the mountains and forests, he didn't find anything else.
"What a waste of time," Zhou Nanyue muttered under her breath.
He stood on a patch of flat ground he had cleared, casually put the machete into his backpack, then turned and walked back, seemingly intending to return home.
Guo Xia had already arrived at the bridge, and Zhou Nanyue was walking back; the two would soon meet.
Lin Leyou and the other person floated behind and saw Zhou Nanyue, who was still walking back cautiously, meet Guo Xia, who was rushing over here.
When they saw each other, neither spoke for a moment, as if they were both on guard against the other.
Finally, Guo Xia spoke first, "What are you doing here?"
Zhou Nanyue blinked. He didn't know what had happened at the safe house. He only knew that his puppet had been discovered and was now in Rong Yuwen's hands. Could it be that they sent someone to find him?
Surely we can't be here to kill him? There's no benefit in killing him now.
Zhou Nanyue, “Let’s come and see the Temple of the Evil God.”
Guo Xia: "Didn't Captain Rong say there was nothing here?"
Zhou Nanyue: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, is it wrong for me to suspect him?"
Guo Xia sneered, "You didn't come here looking for something else, did you? If you just came here to check the situation, you can talk to Captain Rong properly, and no one will stop you."
"But you were sneaking around like that, who knows what you were doing! With you appearing and disappearing like this, did you burn down that hut?"
Zhou Nanyue paused slightly. So that's how it is... So her actions today actually made them suspect her of burning down the hut. What is this?
"I'm a player too, why would I attack a safe house?"
Guo Xia didn't continue with that question, but instead suddenly asked, "Do you think you've hidden your identity very well?"
Zhou Nanyue's heart skipped a beat. Had they discovered her? Or was it just a bluff?
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Guo Xia: "You know it in your heart, there's no need to admit it. Besides... I've already decided it's you. Do you think I should get those hundreds of thousands of points?"
Zhou Nanyue realized, "You weren't sent by Rong Yuwen. Instead, you recognized my identity and secretly came to kill me, recording the murder to collect the bounty?"
Guo Xia smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so smart. So, how do you want to die?"
After Zhou Nanyue learned what was going on, she was no longer nervous and instead sneered, "You think you can be my opponent? You can only become my points. If you're lucky, you might even drop some equipment for me!"
"Just like all the other people I've met before, they're all overconfident idiots!"
Guo Xia remained calm, showing no particular emotion towards what he said. The Bureau updates information about Zhou Nanyue, including her psychological analysis and combat capabilities, periodically.
Officials like him need to be very familiar with these players who are wanted by the authorities in the real world, so that they won't fail to recognize them if they encounter them in the future, and they know how to catch or even kill them.
Of course, Zhou Nanyue knew none of this. He only thought that Guo Xia was an overconfident player who coveted the bounty. He was thinking about quickly getting rid of this person and returning to the safe house.
All you need to do is give Rong Yuwen a simple explanation.
He was the one who survived to the end, while the person in front of him... was already dead in his eyes!
However, Zhou Nanyue did not expect that Guo Xia in front of him was different from other players he had encountered before. As an official, Guo Xia had a one-time special item.
This item is a gold-tier electric baton that a high-ranking player on the official team won in a lottery at the beginning.
This item is no ordinary thing; anyone identified as a criminal by the item's owner will have a record left on the item itself.
By consuming a certain amount of points, the stun baton can be copied into a one-time consumable. Criminals hit by this stun baton will retain consciousness for the next thirty seconds, but will lose control of their bodies and will not be able to use anything in their backpacks.
This stun gun is basically available to every official. Because it is targeted at specific individuals, it can only paralyze people for a short time, except for those who have been recorded as criminals. Therefore, each copy of the device does not consume many points, which is why officers in all bureaus across the country can use it.
Of course, at the same time, he also turned on the recording. With this recording, writing the report would be easier, and after the stun gun was used up, he would need to submit a report to apply for a new one.
Lin Leyou saw the stun gun and exclaimed, "Huh? What kind of prop is this..."
Xue Rui said, "It's a bit like a police baton."
Lin Leyou said, "Let's wait and see. I have a feeling it might be quite fun."
Xue Rui: "It's a pity, we can't catch anyone in the dungeon."
Lin Leyou asked, "Was this person a fugitive on your side?"
