Chapter 621 [(*^▽^*)]

Xue Rui took his hand and led him to check in. Then, they went upstairs with the room key. It was a suite, luxuriously decorated, clean and tidy, with several rooms. As soon as they entered, they used their tools to search every corner. Xue Rui also placed surveillance cameras in many places to ensure their safety.

Lin Leyou said, "There's a high probability that this hotel will be fine."

Xue Rui walked to the window and looked down. He saw a familiar figure walking under the streetlights on the main road in front of the hotel. He frowned slightly and stared intently.

That familiar figure... looks so much like me? Could this be...?

He casually opened the window and tossed out a surveillance ball. The ball flew very fast, reaching the sky above the road in just a few seconds. To Xue Rui's astonishment, the figures he had just seen suddenly vanished after the ball arrived.

Lin Leyou leaned closer to look at the monitor screen. "There's nothing on the road."

He then looked out the window. Although it was a bit far, he could still see if there was anyone on the road. The entire road was illuminated by streetlights, but there was no one in sight.

What did you just see?

Xue Rui said, "I saw myself in him."

Lin Leyou was taken aback. "That's the one I met downstairs before. I didn't expect him to leave so openly, only hiding after you saw him."

Xue Rui said, "They're really bold. I think they must be residents playing NPCs. They used props to look like me, and they definitely... definitely already know about our relationship."

Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "It seems our names are already on the list among many residents playing NPCs. What do you think?"

Xue Rui: "Don't worry, we'll..."

They are not afraid of rules, and they are even less afraid of weapons.

Lin Leyou drew the curtains, then led Xue Rui into the master bedroom. "Shall we take a shower first? Or have you already showered at home?"

Xue Rui: "We've showered, let's go straight to sleep."

Lin Leyou lay on the bed, wondering, "I wonder if the blankets and sheets here are clean."

Xue Rui touched the blanket. "It's clean."

Lin Leyou, "If you say it's clean, then it's clean, but..."

Xue Rui lay down beside him, "Hmm?"

Lin Leyou, "Your meals are still a problem; you have to go home and cook, and..."

Xue Rui: "Don't worry, I've already put some of the seasonings in my bag."

He patted his backpack on the bedside table, and Lin Leyou was relieved. "In that case, after we've rested, we can go out to buy groceries together. That way, I can eat the food you make, and it won't be considered food given to me by someone else, so it won't violate the fifth rule."

Xue Rui: "Okay, no problem."

Lin Leyou, "That woman you had your eye on before..."

Xue Rui said, "This woman is difficult to deal with. I cut my losses and gave up. I released those three mechanical spiders to keep an eye on the others."

Lin Leyou said, "After dawn, we'll first kill those who already know the rules of death, and then plan the next batch. If we can reach the standard of ten people within three days..."

Xue Rui continued, "Then we can relax and wait for those people to come to us."

Lin Leyou patted his pocket and found the black alarm he had just put in it. Then he realized that he hadn't checked the alarm carefully and didn't know if there was any listening or surveillance equipment inside. What a blunder!

Xue Rui leaned closer, "What's this?"

Lin Leyou told him about what happened in the neighborhood when he arrived. "He thanked me and gave me this. He said that if I press this button in the neighborhood, he will come to help me."

Xue Rui looked at the alarm and remained silent for a moment. Then he took out two identical alarms from his backpack, although there were differences on the back of the alarms.

There are different human figures drawn with black lines. Lin Leyou's back has a Q version of the man in red, while Xue Rui's two backs have a Q version of the aunt in red.

“This was given to me by that auntie. She told me to bring one to you. She said she would protect us, so if we use this within her patrol area, it will immediately come to our side to help us.”

Lin Leyou thought for a moment before saying, "Then when I saw them looking up at us from the street outside the window in the middle of the night, was it because of this?"

Xue Rui: "That's hard to say."

Lin Leyou took one of the alarms from Xue Rui's hand and then compared it with the one given by the aunt and the one given by the man. She found that, except for the pattern on the back, everything else was exactly the same.

After testing the two alarms using all available methods, they found that there was nothing extra on them; the alarms only sent the current location to the man in red when the button was pressed, so that they could arrive in time.

Lin Leyou said, "The man in red could also be a resident in disguise, so be careful."

Xue Rui said, "When we press the button again, it will be an extremely dangerous moment. If it is a resident playing an NPC, then it will definitely be someone trying to steal our lives."

Lin Leyou: "Yes, we can't take this risk lightly."

Xue Rui said, "Let's put it away for now. We'll see later whether we need it or not."

Lin Leyou stretched, stuffed the two alarms into his pocket, then lay down on the bed and covered himself with the blanket. "In that case, I'll sleep first. I'll sleep for three hours. Remember to wake me up after three hours, and then you can sleep. I'll protect you."

Xue Rui, "Is three hours enough?"

Lin Leyou didn't care at all, "With my physical fitness and constitution attributes at their maximum, three hours of sleep is enough."

Xue Rui knew this too, after all, he had already done it in the real world. Three hours, three and a half hours at most, no more than that, he spent the rest of the time on his studies and work.

As for dungeons... you enter a dungeon and exit at the same time, it doesn't affect your time or life in the real world.

Lin Leyou said, "I'm going to sleep now. I was tormented by that sense of crisis earlier, and my head is still buzzing."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed, intending to go to sleep. But after a while, he opened his eyes and suddenly said, "You know... was that the person I met downstairs at the hotel...?"

Xue Rui's eyes turned a little colder. "I used props to put you in a state of crisis and affect your mental state. I know you and I have a good relationship, and I also calculated that you would definitely come to find me after midnight. We can't stay at each other's houses for the first three days, so we can only find a place to stay outside."

Lin Leyou stared blankly at the ceiling. "That's terrifying. This person has foreseen everything."

He then added, "But... he still overlooked one thing despite all his calculations."

Xue Rui touched the ring on his finger. "Thank you, Village Chief."

This black jade ring was one of the wedding gifts given to them by the people of Xiushan Village. Only the two of them knew about it; no one else knew, nor did they think there was anything wrong with the black jade ring. They just thought it was a symbol of their being together. Oh no, Qin Xingyu seemed to know a little about it, but not all of it.

Lin Leyou said, "I'm asleep."

No matter what, that's not something to deal with right now; I need to rest.

Although not taking a day off wouldn't be a big problem, this dungeon is at least a 3S difficulty level, and proper rest can ensure their mental state afterwards.

Lin Leyou fell asleep next to Xue Rui, sleeping even more peacefully than he did at home. Xue Rui lay beside him, searching for clues on his phone.

In a secluded spot outside, several dark figures huddled together, seemingly talking about something that appeared to be unpleasant, but they quickly composed themselves.

"How exactly did they find out you weren't the real person?"

"I don't know. You all saw my expression, my tone of voice, and my every move. There was absolutely nothing wrong, but I was still discovered..."

“We’ve prepared the ring on his hand, so there shouldn’t be any problem. Your imitation is 100% perfect. No one has ever seen through it before, except for Qin Xingyu.”

At this point, they were all taken aback. "Oh right, have you forgotten? This Lin Leyou is Qin Xingyu's new student."

Everyone sighed deeply. "From now on, when we go out to do business, we must write down all the details to ensure that nothing goes wrong before we take action."

"It seems that this method is absolutely out of the question. Neither of them are easy to deal with. Using brute force to kill them might not work, especially Lin Leyou, who has gold-level defensive equipment. As for the other one..."

"Speaking of this person, do you know him? We've never seen him before."

"I've never seen or heard of this person before. He's very powerful, so we should have some information about him, but..."

"Could it be someone like Qin Xingyu, who never socialized at first?"

"Forget about this person's identity for now. These two together will definitely be difficult to deal with. Let's kill the other participants first, and then deal with them later."

"However, the condition of these two people still needs to be monitored in real time."

"It's alright. Didn't we create a lot of groups before? We have people watching their activity areas to ensure we can know their location at all times."

"..."

They discussed their next move in this secluded, dark corner before finally leaving. Little did they know that as they departed, a flash of red appeared in the distance and disappeared into the darkness.

Three hours passed quickly. Xue Rui let Lin Leyou sleep for three and a half hours. Just as he was about to wake him up, Lin Leyou woke up on his own.

He looked at Xue Rui, "Did I wake up just in time?"

Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, three and a half hours."

Lin Leyou didn't say anything. Half an hour more was too much, anyway, there was nothing else to do. "Go to sleep."

Xue Rui thought for a moment, then lay down in Lin Leyou's arms. Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow and looked down at him, but Xue Rui had already closed his eyes and was ready to sleep.
