Chapter 609 [(*^▽^*)]

Xue Rui knew that he had enough items at the moment, and the most important thing now was to improve his level, for example, his player level was only intermediate.

Their luck stat hasn't been activated yet!

Xue Rui said, "I'll take you home. I'll go back by myself later."

Lin Leyou said, "There will be women in red patrolling the area where you live. If you encounter them, remember to be careful when you talk to them."

Xue Rui: "Okay."

After Xue Rui escorted Lin Leyou back to his home and confirmed the exact location of the house, he left alone.

He returned to his residence without any problems, but just as Xue Rui was about to reach for the door, he suddenly heard a sound behind him and turned around.

A person emerged from the back stairwell, paused for a moment upon seeing Xue Rui, and muttered instinctively, "Why is someone here..."

Xue Rui ignored him and opened his own door, walking straight inside. Just as he was about to close the door, the other person quickly stopped him, "Hey, wait!"

Xue Rui had already closed the door halfway, and he asked in a very cold tone, "What is it?"

Seeing his cold and indifferent expression, the other person then asked awkwardly, "Um... could you help me out? I'm a resident upstairs, and I've run into some problems at home."

Xue Rui shook his head, "I'm very tired and need to rest. You should go find someone else."

The other person was initially hesitant, but seeing how anxious Xue Rui was to close the door, he strode over to his door, grabbed the door panel, and said, "Hey, wait a minute, don't refuse so quickly! I just wanted to ask if your house is leaking because the toilet upstairs is leaking. If it is... well, I just wanted to ask if you could help me out."

Xue Rui: "My house isn't leaking, take your hand away."

The man persisted, "How could that be? My house is leaking so badly, do you want to come in and take a look? I really..."

Xue Rui interrupted him, "Why don't you come in and take a look?"

He was speechless, unsure what to say. Should he go in? Did he really have to go in?

He stood outside the door for a long time, thinking, but finally decided not to go in. "Well... since your house isn't leaking, that's good. I won't go in. I have a lot of things to do at home."

He then let go of the door and turned to leave, but as he was leaving, the other person pushed the door hard.

To his surprise, the door didn't budge even when he pushed it with all his might!

This time, he really couldn't hold back anymore and looked up at Xue Rui standing inside the door in great surprise. Xue Rui was staring at him with icy eyes...

"Misunderstanding..."

Xue Rui finally opened the door, grabbed the other person by the collar, pulled them over, and asked with an icy expression, "What do you mean?"

He appeared to be about 1.7 meters tall, but after Xue Rui pulled him by the collar, he could only stand on his toes, and was therefore very flustered. "I...I...I didn't mean it, I just...I accidentally slipped!"

Xue Rui stared intently at him, "You...do you know something?"

He was in a bad mental state, and with just this one test, Xue Rui actually figured it out. Xue Rui could clearly feel the man's whole body tremble.

It seems he did know. This person knew he couldn't back down. He pushed the door hard before leaving to force him to back down, so he could use the rules to kill him.

Xue Rui smirked, "If you don't make things clear, you can stay at my place tonight. I don't mind if you stay here. After all, your toilet is leaking, right? You'll be more comfortable staying at my place."

After saying that, he tried to pull the person in, but the other person clung tightly to the door frame and refused to go in. Even though Xue Rui used force, the other person still tried desperately to back out.

"Brother, let's talk this out! I was just annoyed and pushed the door open. I don't know anything. Please let me go... please let me go, brother!"

Xue Rui smirked, "I'll let you go... but what if you go around telling everyone?"

Finally, with a burst of strength, he dragged the person into his own home. Rule number two states that one cannot visit other people's homes for the first three days. Does forcibly bringing someone into one's own home count?

It definitely counts, so now we need to see if the person in front of us has been here for more than three days. If he has been in the Kingdom of Rules for more than three days, this rule will definitely not work on him.

But the man was sitting on the ground, looking as if he had lost his soul. Xue Rui kicked him out the door and said, "If you don't want to stay, then leave."

He didn't close the door, but stood at the doorway watching the person. When the person got outside, he just sat on the ground, as if he didn't even realize he was outside.

"I'm doomed... I'm doomed..."

He then stood up and slowly walked towards the stairwell, but before he even reached the door, having walked halfway, he suddenly had difficulty breathing. He clutched his neck with both hands, his face contorted, and collapsed to the ground, gradually losing his breath and dying.

Xue Rui quickly received a system notification that he had killed someone using the rules and gained ten million points.

He was a little surprised when he received the notification. This person really died because he broke the rules. Was this the second rule?

Not long after, a person in red came down from the elevator and walked straight to the body. This person in red was the same one we had seen near the night market earlier.

After the man in red arrived, he glanced at the corpse on the ground with an ordinary expression, then grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him away without even glancing at Xue Rui, who was standing inside the house.

Xue Rui didn't say a word, just quietly watched as the man in red dragged the corpse into the elevator and then left.

Once there was no more noise outside, Xue Rui closed the door. Forcing the other party to break the rules was acceptable.

Xue Rui used the ring to tell Lin Leyou, who was at home preparing to lie down and go to sleep, what had just happened.

Lin Leyou said, "Not bad, Rui Rui. You killed one in such a short time. It seems that we can still complete the tenth rule without any problem."

Xue Rui said, "We only have seven days, but we need to use the rules to kill ten people. That means we need to kill one or two people every day on average to kill ten people in seven days."

Lin Leyou said, "Don't worry, rest first. We'll go out to a crowded place during the day. There's a shopping plaza nearby. Let's see if anyone uses the rules to kill people in crowded places. We can learn from them on the spot."

Xue Rui: "No problem, but... your unknown death rules are still unclear, so you must be careful."

Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "I know, I know what I'm doing."

He got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower, then took a change of clothes inside. Oh right, he hadn't showered before, and now he was having to use the invalid item card again. To be honest... he felt really bad.

Since he wasn't sweating or very dirty, he simply took a quick shower inside and came out. The whole process took less than ten minutes, and he only had about five minutes to activate the item card.

"I still haven't figured out what this unknown rule of death is..."

He lay in bed and took out his phone to search for guides on how to kill people using the rules of the game. There were tons of results online, and he actually found some useful information.

Some people are genuinely sharing seriously. He also saw the post that Xue Rui found before, and since he wasn't sleepy yet, he specifically searched for many posts that looked quite good.

I didn't go to sleep until I felt a little sleepy, then I hugged the blanket and went to bed. Wait a minute!

As he hugged his blanket, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep, he realized that his unknown rule of death might be sleeping!

Are you kidding me? If I can't sleep, I'm doomed!

I can't verify it when I'm awake, and I can't hear the system notifications when I'm asleep. Plus, I don't know when I'll wake up...

There was no other way; he had to use an item. He found a one-minute sleep item in the system shop, which would put him into a one-minute sleep state after he used it.

This is the shortest duration of the sleep-inducing effect, thankfully it's only one minute.

He held both items in his hands, activated the item card, and then used the sleep item. He fell asleep on the bed and woke up a minute later to check the system, but there was no system notification.

He put the prop card away. Good, it seems he can still sleep. In that case, he'll ignore everything else for now and go to sleep.

Lin Leyou and Xue Rui are in excellent physical condition, so even when they rest, they don't need to sleep for too long. They got home before 3 a.m. and woke up around 7 a.m.

He received a message from Xue Rui as soon as he woke up. It wasn't sent with a ring, but with his phone; it was a smiley face.

Lin Leyou smiled knowingly upon seeing this and returned a smiley face.

Then, the ring's voice rang in my ear.

"Are you awake?"

Lin Leyou: "Yes, you just woke up too? What a coincidence..."

Xue Rui had indeed just woken up. "You're up?"

Lin Leyou said, "Get up. Let's meet at the square near my house and stay there for the rest of the day."

Xue Rui naturally had no objections.

The two agreed on this, then hung up the phone and started washing up and getting ready. They even left the house at the same time, into the same room, but the scenery outside was different when they opened the door.

Lin Leyou went downstairs with a normal expression. He didn't encounter anyone along the way, but after he walked out of the building, he saw a person walking towards him with a dog.

This dog is white and chubby. In his past life, he saw some rich people in big cities keep dogs called something like Ye Ye. He didn't really know much about them, but they were indeed very good-looking dogs.

As he walked forward, he brushed past the man and the dog. For some reason, the dog suddenly turned around and lunged at him. Lin Leyou instinctively took two quick steps forward to avoid the dog.
