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 645 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou: "Should we follow them and try to find any surviving participants to collaborate with?"
Xue Rui: "Okay, I'll go with Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu to find it then."
Lin Leyou said, "But neither of them goes out now. Qiu Baiyu doesn't go out, and neither does Jiang Changdong."
The surveillance cameras they set up outside didn't detect Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu's presence. Lin Leyou even had Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu take turns locating them and found that they had been there the whole time.
It's already midnight on the sixth day! Tomorrow will be the seventh day, the last day. If these special NPCs don't do their quest properly, the quest might fail!
If they fail their mission, the points deducted will definitely be more than one billion. Although it won't kill Jiang Changdong, it will definitely deal them a heavy blow. One billion points is not a small amount, even for an old hand like Jiang Changdong. I wonder if Qiu Baiyu has one billion points.
Lin Leyou said, "Go to sleep. They might not go out to do their business until dawn. You go to sleep first, I'll keep an eye on things."
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay."
The two wasted no time, and Xue Rui quickly fell asleep gently in Lin Leyou's arms. He always fell asleep quickly when he was with Lin Leyou, but once he returned to the real world, it was as if he had an attack of insomnia. He couldn't sleep at all, even when he was exhausted and his eyes could barely see. He still couldn't fall asleep. Even though the Endless World was the other world to him, he always felt that the real world was fake.
Lin Leyou had no idea what Xue Rui was thinking. He was just slowly refreshing the messages on his phone. After midnight, many people were posting online in real time, saying they were going out to find their targets, that they had killed the first one, or the second or third, or how could there be such stupid people.
He can read these messages and get a general idea of just how chaotic things are outside right now.
He took out his phone to confirm the location of Jiang Changdong and his wife. They were still in the residential building and hadn't left. Great. He continued playing on his phone, but soon he realized that he could also locate two other special NPCs!
Although he didn't know his own character, it seemed like everyone was using their own character after entering this instance. He had roughly remembered the names of the two special NPCs he met in the mall and the one who raised the little turtle.
Besides, I already know what they look like, so why not just search for them?
He tried it out, entered the two people's names into the database, and then recalled what they looked like in the instance. Surprisingly, it actually worked!
He discovered that one of the two people lived in the apartment building to his left and the other in the apartment building to his right, while Jiang Changdong and his wife lived in the same apartment building as them.
It turns out that those two people disappeared from their original neighborhood and came here!
Why did they choose this place? Was it because Xue Rui left and moved in with them, making them feel safe here?
Do you think Xue Rui will never come back?
Lin Leyou couldn't understand it. Even the two of them probably found it hard to believe that the two people they wanted to avoid had actually come to their vicinity.
I wonder if they're going out tonight.
In Lin Leyou's view, they had no choice but to go out. He had already killed a special NPC, which meant that they were now one less companion.
If they don't work hard now, they'll be in trouble if there are still more than ten participants by the last day.
There are still twenty-one left. Excluding him and Xue Rui, that makes nineteen. In other words, they need to kill at least ten today to ensure that only nine remain on the seventh day.
Lin Leyou was very satisfied with this.
But he waited and waited, until Xue Rui woke up, but they still didn't make a move.
Xue Rui rubbed his eyes. "They didn't go out?"
Lin Leyou: "Hmm, does that mean we're planning to operate during the day? We need to go out during the day too."
Xue Rui: "Go to sleep, I'm keeping an eye on them."
Lin Leyou placed the ** in his hand into Xue Rui's hand and told him the names of the other two people, "You can locate these four people at any time. If they go out, remember to wake me up."
Xue Rui took the item in his hand and subconsciously checked it with the system. It was actually a gold-grade item! His eyes widened. If this thing were given to the authorities in the real world, wouldn't they go crazy?
"For me to use?"
Lin Leyou gently elbowed him, "You can use it for now, remember to return it to me when I wake up."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
It's not that I can't give this to Xue Rui, but it's definitely not possible now. This thing is really too precious; it was a reluctant reward from the system when he was doing a task in the real world.
Since his rebirth, he has never seen such a special prop anywhere else!
Lin Leyou closed his eyes, ready to sleep. Xue Rui held him in his arms as he always did when they slept together, so that Lin Leyou could sleep in a comfortable position.
Xue Rui held his phone in one hand and this device in the other, checking the location of the four people every now and then, only to find that they hadn't moved at all.
If this wasn't a high-end prop, Xue Rui would have thought that these four people were just using puppets as props in their residence while they quietly left to carry out their own mission.
As dawn broke, Lin Leyou woke up. Looking at the sunlight streaming through the curtains, he thought, "It's a beautiful day. But since I woke up naturally, it means..."
Xue Rui helped him sit up. "They haven't made any moves for the past few nights."
Lin Leyou checked the documents again, one by one, "They really didn't go out. What are they planning to do? Are they planning to just kill us first?"
Xue Rui: "They can't do it."
He got up and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Lin Leyou put away the props, washed up, and changed into casual clothes. "We won't go far today. We'll just look around here."
When he walked into the living room, he looked down from the balcony and, unsurprisingly, saw the familiar auntie below, dragging a corpse in one hand. She was already working so early; at this rate, she must be destroying hundreds or even thousands of corpses every day.
Xue Rui said, "They will try to leave and follow them to find other participants."
Lin Leyou calculated the time, "Today and tomorrow, as long as we can hold on until midnight tomorrow, we will win."
Xue Rui said, "We not only want them to fail their mission, but we also want to kill them before the dungeon ends."
He was making breakfast with a pot when he said this, and his tone was very calm, as if he were talking about what to eat later, but Lin Leyou could feel the murderous intent flowing in his tone.
Are you angry?
Xue Rui, "Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu."
Lin Leyou: "You want to kill them? You want to do it yourself?"
Xue Rui: "Of course."
Lin Leyou sat on the sofa with a smile on her face. "Why?"
Xue Rui glanced back at him. "Because of my lover, because they deserve to die. I just don't know if I'll lose more points if I'm killed while failing the mission."
Lin Leyou: "That shouldn't happen. They'll only deduct points for failed missions, nothing else."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Xue Rui's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "It's alright, we won't deduct too much. We need to let them experience the feeling of death."
Lin Leyou ate a hearty breakfast with great satisfaction, then took out his ** to check it again, and this time he noticed something different.
The people sitting in the two adjacent residential buildings went out and left in two opposite directions.
Xue Rui: "Immediately arrange for the mechanical spiders to follow."
At daybreak, he retrieved the monitoring ball, since it was too conspicuous during the day, and the mechanical spider was a safer option.
Fortunately, although the mechanical spiders cannot fly, they are not slow. Even if they are lost along the way, it doesn't matter, as Lin Leyou can still use ** to determine their location.
The two of them then left the residential area. They didn't separate from them, since they both had mechanical spiders. They just randomly picked one to follow them, and kept a safe distance so they would never be detected.
Everyone outside was dressed in red during the day, so the two of them also wore red wedding coats to blend in. The red color looked very beautiful. As a result, they stopped communicating directly and instead used their black jade rings to communicate.
Lin Leyou: "The person we're tracking now is Zhang Xing, the special NPC who raises turtles. This person is very fast, which means he has a clear objective and definitely knows the exact location of a certain participant."
Xue Rui: "Wouldn't that mean they could also find out our exact location?"
Lin Leyou said, "Judging from their complete lack of awareness, even if we can pinpoint their location, it will likely be very limited. There's no need to worry too much."
After following Zhang Xing for about half an hour, they noticed that he had stopped, and this location was near an aquarium.
Not far from where Zhang Xing was, there was a huge aquarium sign. Could his target be inside this aquarium? Was he an employee, or someone who was visiting it today?
The mechanical spider followed behind, but it was still unclear who its target was. By the time the two of them arrived at the aquarium, Zhang Xing had already gone inside.
The mechanical spider followed him around inside a few times, but it still didn't know who he was targeting. Lin Leyou and his companion didn't go in either, deciding to confirm the target first.
Zhang Xing wandered around inside, not getting very close to anyone, but the two of them still noticed the person he had been paying attention to through the mechanical spider.
His target wasn't the people working there, but the visitors to the aquarium. This male visitor was also wearing a very eye-catching bright red outfit and walking around inside, as if he were immersed in the various animals in the aquarium.
