Chapter 622 [(*^▽^*)]

Xue Rui fell asleep very quickly. It has to be said that although they slept at home before, it was definitely not a good night's sleep for one person in the dungeon.

It's different when there's someone you can absolutely trust around.

Lin Leyou wouldn't hold it against him. After reaching out and touching his fluffy hair, she did the same thing as Xue Rui, taking out her phone to browse some recent events in the Rules Kingdom instance.

As dawn broke, Lin Leyou, knowing that Xue Rui hadn't woken him up but had allowed him to wake up naturally, decided not to wake him either and let him get some rest.

Even so, Xue Rui still woke up after three hours and forty minutes.

He looked at the light streaming in from outside the curtains, said nothing, and got up to get dressed.

Lin Leyou joked, "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well afterward?"

Xue Rui scratched his head, suddenly remembering something. Last night, because Lin Leyou encountered someone impersonating him, he had been so nervous that he had forgotten about it, but now…

Taking advantage of Lin Leyou's momentary lapse in attention, he pinned him down, pressing his hands against his shoulders. "Leyou!"

Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow and smirked, "What? You used to call me Brother Lin, then Little You, and now you're calling me Leyou?"

Xue Rui slowly leaned down, and Lin Leyou, thinking he was going to kiss her, didn't refuse, waiting for him to kiss her, but...

Just a second before they were about to touch, Xue Rui released his shoulder, lifted the hem of his shirt, and bit him on the waist.

Lin Leyou's eyes widened, and her body jerked violently. "You...you!"

Xue Rui didn't make any unnecessary movements; after taking a bite, he released the person and asked, "Was that comfortable?"

Lin Leyou was shocked. He clutched his side. "Comfortable? What do you think?"

Xue Rui suddenly revealed a wicked smile, "Shall I give you a bite too?"

Lin Leyou's expression was strange. After hesitating for a long time, he finally refused. He rubbed his waist, which was bitten and hurt, with a bit of grievance. The skin wasn't broken, but there was a tooth mark.

Why does Xue Rui like to bite his waist so much... He did it before too.

"Do you...do you have some kind of unusual fetish?"

Xue Rui paused slightly, then looked at Lin Leyou, "Is that what you think?"

Lin Leyou sensed a dangerous atmosphere. "Let's not talk about that now. It's getting light, and I'm going out hunting. You should come too. I remember you were keeping an eye on things before, right?"

Xue Rui: "Yes, there is, but to be on the safe side, we should act together."

Lin Leyou shook his head, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems in broad daylight."

Xue Rui, "Who lost their only resurrection coin in broad daylight?"

Lin Leyou was speechless. "...Fine, I'll listen to you."

Anyway, there's still plenty of time, and they're not afraid of wasting time. All they need to do is complete the tenth rule before those who are eyeing them arrive.

Xue Rui: "I'm not in a hurry here, I'll go to your place first. How many more do you need?"

Lin Leyou, “I’m still missing four. Besides the mechanical spider I keep at home, the other eight are in the neighborhood where I live, and one is with the person who pushed you back yesterday.”

Xue Rui, "Huh? Still watching?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "Yes, we're still keeping an eye on him, and I've already discovered his rules for killing people. We'll deal with those we can get our hands on in the neighborhood first."

Xue Rui: "Okay, let's go."

The two did not check out, and they did not take the surveillance camera that they had placed in the room with them when they left. They left it there in case someone came in and tampered with it when they left.

Xue Rui accompanied Lin Leyou back to the neighborhood. It was already quite late, just the time when everyone was rushing to work.

Lin Leyou listed out all the known rules of death he had collected, "It's that one over there, see it? That's him, his rules of death..."

Xue Rui, "I'll help!"

In this way, they used half an hour in the morning to tamper with five of the eight people targeted by Lin Leyou.

Of course, two of them died directly in the community, while the remaining three left the community with the things they had secretly placed there. Now it's up to them to decide what happens next.

Fortunately, the mechanical spiders followed, so they could know immediately if anything happened.

Lin Leyou said, "We can each take one of these two. As for the three that have already left, we'll have to wait and see which of our methods is triggered first."

Xue Rui, "Go find the ninth one?"

The ninth one is the man Lin Leyou met at the mall, whom he has been keeping an eye on. Speaking of him, Lin Leyou's expression was not good either, as this is someone he has been holding a grudge against ever since.

Moreover... after observing this person for so long, he always felt that there was something strange about him.

If I'm not mistaken, this person was most likely a resident playing an NPC. When he was with Xue Rui, this person pushed them both backward with one hand on each side.

Maybe when I go to the mall and kill his friend, he will have already noticed me. But no matter what, since I've set my sights on him, I won't let him go.

Xue Rui, "Have we arrived?"

After they got out of the car, they stood by the roadside. Lin Leyou sensed his mechanical spider. Because of this person's special circumstances, the mechanical spider did not actually follow him into the other person's home, but instead guarded outside.

Sometimes she would hide quietly in the crack outside the window, never giving him a chance to find her. Lin Leyou pointed in a certain direction after confirming the location.

"It's over there, but... I'm not sure if the death rules that the mechanical spider got before are correct. Maybe he said them on purpose to mislead us."

Xue Rui, "He found your mechanical spider?"

Lin Leyou: "There are no signs of that yet, but something just doesn't feel right."

Xue Rui, "Was it a resident playing the role?"

Lin Leyou shook his head, "I'm still not sure. How about we go find the three you're keeping an eye on first? We can deal with them there and then come back here."

Xue Rui, "You're not confident, are you?"

Lin Leyou: "Hmm, I'm not sure. This person is strange... Yesterday he was out having a blast, but today he seems to have suddenly become quiet, staying at home and not going out. He only occasionally opens the window to look at the scenery outside, and then mutters a few words to himself, including things like, 'If I weren't at home, I really wouldn't dare to be so obvious...'"

Xue Rui: "How could someone reveal their own rules about death when they're alone?"

Lin Leyou didn't deny that such a thing could happen, but that was the reality of the situation. He couldn't just recklessly take Xue Rui there; what if things went wrong...?

Xue Rui can survive, but his own fate is uncertain. After all, he has no resurrection coins and no chance to use them. The time limit for using the rule invalidation card is also limited. The few hours last night were when the residents playing the NPCs used props to influence him and make him consume the time limit of the rule invalidation card.

Lin Leyou said, "That's why I felt a little strange."

Xue Rui stared in that direction for a long time. From this position, one could see the general situation in the distant residential area, especially the house where that person lived. He could see the windows with the curtains drawn and part of the balcony.

Lin Leyou, "Do you think it's better to start now or wait?"

Xue Rui said, "We'll come back later. Anyway, he can't escape. We can take this time to observe him more."

Lin Leyou took his hand and said, "Let's go then. We'll go find those three you've been eyeing. By the way, have you found out about the rules of death?"

Xue Rui: "Don't worry, I understand everything."

His criteria for choosing targets were actually very simple: easy to kill!

He decided to temporarily set aside the woman he had encountered before, who was too difficult to deal with, and look for opportunities again after achieving his minimum goal. Therefore, the three people he had identified at this time were indeed the easiest to deal with.

He had even mentally rehearsed more than once how to use the rules to kill the three people in a short time, in a smooth and efficient manner, without wasting too much time.

Just then, Lin Leyou received a system notification: "One of the people we had arranged as backup has died. I have received the system message."

Xue Rui blinked. "I have two here."

Lin Leyou laughed out loud, "Looks like you're luckier."

Xue Rui, "You're still two short, right?"

Lin Leyou: "Yeah, two. What? You're going to give me two of the next three?"

Xue Rui: "Yes, I'll give you two."

Lin Leyou smiled and nodded, "Sure, then it would be strange if I had ten here. After that, I'll have to find targets for you. It seems that although the Kingdom of Rules is full of crises, once you have a plan, it won't be too difficult to complete the mission."

Now they're just waiting for the residents to come looking for them. They don't know when they'll appear, and... who exactly is that person who has a secret grudge against them?

Xue Rui's three mechanical spiders were relatively scattered. After taking a taxi to a certain place, Lin Leyou and his companion came face to face with their target. This person was actually jogging on the road outside, wearing sportswear, and even whistled at them in a very flippant manner as he passed by.

Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment, and only after he had run far away did he say, "They found us?"

Xue Rui frowned. "That shouldn't be the case."

Just then, the target ahead whistled at a woman who was dressed somewhat provocatively as she passed by, which earned him a curse from the woman before he laughed and continued running.

Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's just his nature."

Xue Rui: "One of the rules that led to this person's death was that he couldn't swim."

Lin Leyou: "He always avoids running near the lake, what should we do?"

Xue Rui: "Be more violent, just grab him and throw him into the lake or river."

Lin Leyou: "If someone can't swim, does throwing them into the river and splashing around count as swimming?"

Does splashing around in the water count as swimming if you can't swim?
