After Rebirth, I Became a Permanent NPC in the Infinite World

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 613 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou didn't wait there for long. Xue Rui cooked very quickly, so he took advantage of the short time to check on the woman who had just left.

After the other person left, she indeed went to the stairwell and continued to walk up the stairs. She circled around the tables and chairs on each floor, but probably didn't find any suitable targets, so she finally took the elevator downstairs and left.

But she didn't really leave; instead, she went to the next unit, seemingly intending to search around. Opportunities don't come knocking on your door; you have to actively seek them out.

Lin Leyou thought this woman was really ruthless. He wondered if she was a resident here or a participant in the instance like them.

Just then, Xue Rui arrived with the remaining food. "Shall we eat?"

Lin Leyou nodded, and then told him about the woman's situation.

Xue Rui: "Do we have to do this too?"

Lin Leyou said, "We don't need to take the initiative. We just need to go out and take a look. There will be plenty of opportunities that come to us. After all, there are quite a few people like her."

Xue Rui: "That's true. Everyone in the city has to follow the rules. Although we don't know how long their rules are, if everyone is willing to do it, this kind of thing is happening all the time."

Lin Leyou was very optimistic, "In that case, I think... we might not need that much time at all to complete the tenth rule."

Xue Rui took a bite of food. "Let's finish the tenth one first. We can talk about the others after we finish this one."

Lin Leyou agreed, "Yes."

After finishing their meal, Xue Rui and Lin Leyou cleaned the table and chairs thoroughly, wiping away all the visible and invisible dirt.

The two of them then sat there playing on their phones for a while before setting off at 1 p.m.

Lin Leyou said, "We can't go out after 8 o'clock, so we'll go home at 7 o'clock, a little earlier, to avoid encountering other people causing trouble on the way and wasting time."

Xue Rui: "Okay."

Lin Leyou asked, "How many of your mechanical spiders have you released?"

Xue Rui: "Two."

Xue Rui only had three mechanical spiders, all of which were gifts from Lin Leyou. To be honest, Xue Rui himself didn't expect that although the mechanical spiders were blue-grade items, none of the monitoring and listening devices he encountered later were as useful as them. Even the complete set of monitoring balls he got from Li Qianqian was inferior to the mechanical spiders in his opinion.

Because the monitoring balls... although there are many of them and they can float and move quickly, their disadvantages are also obvious: they are not easy to hide and are easily discovered.

But this mechanical spider is different. It is small and easy to hide. Even if it is discovered, it can disguise itself as a real spider. Although it cannot fly, it can climb walls and can stick to the ceiling and hide under leaves.

Even small tasks can be remotely controlled using the spider legs of the mechanical spider, making it extremely practical!

So far, Xue Rui hasn't found anything better than the mechanical spider.

Lin Leyou: "Will we succeed today?"

Xue Rui thought for a moment, "It's probably possible, even if it's late... tomorrow will be fine."

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. "Did you follow that woman just now?"

Xue Rui shook his head, "No, I'll leave it for you."

Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. This woman was no easy target to kill, but since Xue Rui had offered to give her to him, he couldn't refuse. Whether he could kill her or not was uncertain; this woman seemed too strong.

After they left, they went outside again and went to the nearby park. There were fewer people at night, but there were definitely more during the day. They were sure they would find something there.

As soon as they stepped out of the first-floor door and onto the road outside, they saw a woman coming out of another building in the distance, and the two sides met again.

When the woman saw them, she knew exactly what she was doing and that they had guessed it. Instead of panicking and leaving, she blew them a kiss and walked away in another direction with a smile.

Lin Leyou, "has a good attitude."

She probably doesn't even know that he's already got his eye on her.

Xue Rui pulled him in another direction. Clearly, he was still disgusted by the kiss he had just received, even though it was directed at the two of them and not just Lin Leyou.

Lin Leyou didn't say much and followed Xue Rui's lead towards the park. Even though it was broad daylight, there were still many people. Looking from a distance, he could see a couple hundred people, and the closer he got, the more people there were.

Especially around the fitness equipment area, there are even more people. Some older men are showing off their muscles, surrounded by a circle of middle-aged women and some young people watching the spectacle.

In the small square not far away, a group of middle-aged women were dancing, and there were some children scattered around, playing together.

There were many young people strolling around the lake, and the arrival of Lin Leyou and his companion did not attract much attention; only a few people observed them for a while.

I noticed they were walking hand in hand by the lake instead of staying in the small square, so I looked away.

As soon as Lin Leyou and his group reached the lakeside, they saw stone tables and chairs in the greenery not far away, where several elderly men were playing chess, and further away, they saw some elderly men and women practicing Tai Chi.

Xue Rui was somewhat surprised as he looked at these images. "I've never seen anything like this before."

Lin Leyou nodded, "I've never seen it either, but thinking about it carefully, it seems quite normal."

Xue Rui didn't know whether to say he was normal or not. The old man showing off his muscles had given him a little shock, and... it seemed that there was no square dancing in the real world yet.

Xue Rui had never seen it before, but playing chess and practicing Tai Chi were quite common.

Lin Leyou, "What's wrong?"

Xue Rui shook his head. "It's okay, let's keep going. There are people coming towards us."

Lin Leyou had already noticed that it was a couple. They were walking hand in hand by the lake, chatting and laughing, and seemed to be on a date.

Perhaps to them, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were the ones getting closer to them, because Lin Leyou had noticed that the two men's eyes became somewhat wary after seeing them, as if they were on guard against them.

Xue Rui touched his ring. "Something's not right with these two."

Lin Leyou blinked. Something's not right? Something's not right... Hiss! Something definitely isn't right.

If they really thought the two were going to make a move, they wouldn't have charged straight at them without slowing down. If it were anyone else, they would have definitely left the lakeside and gone in another direction.

Lin Leyou even noticed that their pace seemed to quicken a bit.

He remembered that there was still one rule about death he hadn't figured out, so he had to be careful. He didn't know what these two people were planning to do by getting close to them.

Just as they were on guard, the couple walked up to them and stopped. The man said, "Gentlemen, could you take a picture for us?"

Lin Leyou's eyes flashed, and he hesitated for a moment. Xue Rui quickly understood what he meant and shielded him behind her. "You want to take a picture? I'll do it."

After saying that, he took the other person's phone, turned on the camera, and asked, "Is it ready?"

The couple looked at each other and saw the smiles on each other's faces. "No problem, right here."

They leaned against the lakeside railing, hugged each other, smiled, and made a peace sign. Xue Rui took a few photos of them like that. "Is that okay?" she asked.

The other person took the photo, seemingly examining it carefully, and said, "Thank you, it's really well taken!"

The two left quickly. Lin Leyou was about to secretly throw out a mechanical spider, but soon discovered that Xue Rui had thrown out his third mechanical spider.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Leyou decided to put his little spider back.

Xue Rui: "You're definitely being watched."

Lin Leyou blinked, "Then I'll have to ask Xiao Rui to save me."

Xue Rui looked away and glanced at him, then led him on a walk. "Many people must have seen what happened just now."

Lin Leyou smiled and said, "It's alright, anyway..."

Huh? No, wait, he doesn't even know that not being allowed to take pictures of others is a death rule!

However, it's impossible to verify this directly outside now. With so many people watching, if someone sees it, it will prove that taking photos for others isn't part of your death rule, and you can't fool anyone anymore.

Xue Rui suddenly said, "Just now, I noticed about ten of them; I don't know how many were watching from the shadows."

Lin Leyou's lips twitched. "It seems that many people will be coming to us on their own."

Sure enough, less than a minute after they walked, another person appeared beside them. They were two girls who looked youthful, beautiful, refreshing, and lively.

"Hello, could you take a picture for us?"

When the other person came over, they were looking at Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou remained expressionless and didn't say anything, but Xue Rui quickly came over and took the phone from her hand. "Where should we take the picture?"

The girl looked at Lin Leyou, but Lin Leyou stood behind Xue Rui, neither offering help nor speaking, as if she hadn't noticed them at all.

"Ah, just take the picture here, right here among these flowers."

There were some green plants and flowers along the lake, which looked quite pretty. The two girls took pictures there, and then Xue Rui coldly handed them her phone.

After sending the two away, Xue Rui continued walking with Lin Leyou. They planned to take a walk nearby, but before long, they encountered two more groups of people asking for help taking photos.

One person stood on Xue Rui's side, while the other group went to find Lin Leyou. Xue Rui ignored the person in front of him and blocked the other person in front of him.

"Oh, it's just taking a picture, what's wrong with helping? Why are you being so stingy?"

Xue Rui said, "Since you all want to take photos, let's help each other out, that's perfect."

By now, Xue Rui seemed somewhat agitated and had lost interest in continuing the walk. In front of them, he pulled Lin Leyou away from there.
