Chapter 60 [Seeking support and collection]

That's a passage that only players can't walk through, and what's more... it's actually a way to obtain some rare item that can be used to travel between different dungeons?

It's too early to think about these things now. Xue Rui isn't at that level yet, and it's obvious that asking Boss Lin now would definitely not get him the answer he wants.

Not only will it not bring us closer, it will have the opposite effect. Since that's the case, let's just pretend we don't know.

He looked in the direction of Qingshui Town and quickly discovered that a strong wind had appeared in a specific location, which seemed to be the direction of the church!

Are they chasing after that woman in the black dress? That nun...?

Apart from the innkeeper and the chef who was chopped into pieces by the butcher, are the rest still in town?

Xue Rui didn't know how to complete this hidden mission. Was he just supposed to stand there and wait?

In short, with the mayor so powerful after going berserk, there is absolutely no way I can harm him in any way.

Just like before, he had no choice but to run away. So all he could do was wait, right?

Is there anything we can do?

Lin Leyou was well aware of his current weakness. Even Jiang Xiali, who seemed very powerful, couldn't do anything about it, let alone him.

Lin Leyou said, "Didn't I say that the rampaging mayor... we have absolutely no ability to deal with him? Besides, he has turned the entire Qingshui Town into his own territory, which gives him a certain advantage."

Xue Rui immediately understood after hearing what he said; the two NPCs in front of him were no match for him!

So, to complete this hidden quest, I need to take a different path? But...

Time passed second by second, and neither of them spoke. In the distance, Qingshui Town had been ravaged by the rampaging mayor, leaving it in ruins. The entire town looked dilapidated, as if it had been ravaged by a tornado.

Lin Leyou had a bad feeling. An hour had passed, hadn't it? Why hadn't that so-called order-keeper that Jiang Xiali mentioned arrived yet?

Could there be some kind of error?

His gaze fell on Jiang Xiali, but he immediately noticed that Jiang Xiali's eyes were also unusually serious. "Things are getting serious."

Lin Leyou, "What happened?"

In Jiangxia Village, "Look at the town mayor."

Lin Leyou saw from afar that the enraged town mayor was chasing two people. Although the distance was a bit far, he could still tell that the two people being chased were a man and a woman.

In Jiangxia Li, "That's the principal and the nun."

Lin Leyou: "Those are the last two?"

Jiang Xiali nodded, "That's right. Hopefully they can hold out for a while, otherwise we'll have to move to another location."

Lin Leyou: "If we are the only survivors in the entire Qingshui Town, then the town mayor can sense our approximate location anytime, anywhere, right?"

Jiangxia Li: "That's right, so we can only keep changing where we hide."

What displeased him even more was that Xue Rui had been excluded by the town mayor and would absolutely not be attacked.

Lin Leyou, "By the way, about that thing you mentioned before..."

Jiang Xiali knew what Lin Leyou was talking about, and her expression immediately turned very displeased. "Of all the security guards, only one is late!"

Lin Leyou, "..."

So, this time they were not only extremely unlucky to encounter a rampaging NPC, but they were also mistaken for enemies by the rampaging NPC, and finally they encountered the only order officer who was always late.

Lin Leyou: "Why is he the only one who's late?"

Jiang Xiali's face twisted in disgust. "Of course it's because he has special privileges! And it's precisely because he has special privileges, because he got in through the back door, that bastard is a complete fraud!"

"It's a counterfeit! Of course, no matter what we do, we have to find a way to delay the inevitable!"

Lin Leyou was stunned. Putting aside everything else, just considering the back door and his lack of strength, would he be able to leave unscathed this time?

Xue Rui is a player, so dying won't be a big problem. At most, this dungeon will be marked as a failure, and some points will be deducted.

But he's different; he's a resident, an NPC! If he were really killed, could he survive? Could he even survive in this endless world?

Will my real-world self die along with them, or will I survive?

It's not a good idea to ask Jiang Xia directly. What if he notices that I'm different? That would be...

Just as Lin Leyou was in a panic, Jiang Xiali blurted out, "Those two idiots are finished. Let's go, let's find another place!"

Lin Leyou, "Do you know where the best place to hide is?"

Logically speaking, they should have no way to leave the area of ​​Qingshui Town, so they could only keep changing locations along the edge of the town mayor's territory.

Xue Rui realized that they weren't talking to him at all. He had only vaguely heard a little of their conversation and couldn't make any inferences. After seeing them leave, he could only follow them on his own.

Jiang Xiali completely ignored Xue Rui's presence, and Lin Leyou didn't have the energy to talk to Xue Rui either, so she tried to keep up with Jiang Xiali's pace as quickly as possible.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the town mayor, who was still wreaking havoc in Qingshui Town, was coming towards them, but not in a straight line.

Therefore, we can only perceive the approximate location.

Jiang Xiali said, "We need to speed up. The closer we get, the more accurate his perception will be. Once we get within a certain range, he will lock onto us unless we can get out of that range again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Leyou felt even more uneasy. What exactly was going on with that order attendant? If he were killed by the dungeon boss, could he file a complaint?

Thinking about it, it doesn't make sense. He's a low-level resident in an endless world who doesn't even own a house. Does he have the right to complain?

It's possible that Jiang Xiali would file a complaint, since he seems to be very familiar with these things, such as the background story of this instance, the order officers, and many other things he doesn't know.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xue Rui following them, and all he could think was... Xue Rui didn't need to follow at all, because no matter who the mayor killed, he wouldn't kill Xue Rui.

However, Xue Rui was unaware of this. Perhaps if the town mayor caught up with him, Xue Rui could be used as a shield?

As time went on, Jiang Xiali grew increasingly irritable. "Damn it! That little piece of trash, I hope I never run into him again. If there's a next time, I'll smash your dog's head in!"

Lin Leyou blinked, watching him grab his wrist and curse fiercely. It seemed that Jiang Xiali knew that special security guard.

Not only do they know each other, they're practically acquaintances! And... the relationship is rather complicated.

The mayor's speed is still quite fast, basically matching their current escape speed. However, while the mayor's speed won't slow down, they will become increasingly tired.

Sometimes the terrain can also affect your escape speed, making it slower.
