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 652 [(*^▽^*)]
After the security guard took out the mouse, he placed some things in front of it. After sniffing them, the mouse darted around on the ground and finally turned into a miniature golden-gray lightning bolt, quickly heading in the direction Jiang Changdong and the others had left. Of course, they didn't go far; instead, they went to the residential building next door.
This is the house where Zhang Xing and Yi Nanfeng lived before.
The security guard looked at the residential building and thought to himself, "Good heavens, is the most dangerous place the safest place?"
He followed the mouse into the building. In less than three minutes, five people escaped from different directions, moving extremely fast. Some even disappeared on the spot, their whereabouts unknown.
Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu also ran away separately, but soon they found that the aunt in red appeared downstairs. Jiang Changdong looked back and saw the security guard leaning out from upstairs, holding a mouse in his hand and smiling at them. "Don't run away. You can't escape from this aunt."
The woman in red had already walked over. "I thought you had run away. I didn't expect that after doing something like this, you would still have the guts to stay on my turf."
Jiang Changdong was very confused. "Why is this happening... It shouldn't be like this."
The woman in red smiled and said, "In the past... even if this place was chaotic, very few people dared to do bad things on my turf. You are not the first, but you are definitely the worst off, I'm telling you."
At this moment, Lin Leyou had brought everyone to his home in a luxury residential area. Xue Rui had been sent to bed by him, while he and the other three were eating snacks and chatting in the living room.
Lin Leyou suddenly laughed and said, "I left surveillance equipment over there. Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu were caught by the aunt in red over there, and a security guard was also there to help."
Especially the security guard had a fluffy, round, golden-gray mouse in his hand, which looked really cute, but he didn't keep mice as pets.
Tang Anzhi said, "It's strange. According to you, the aunt in red was talking about how things were in the past. That 'past' is quite interesting."
In Lin Leyou and Xue Rui's opinion, this aunt in red probably has memories of the previous activation of the dungeon. Just like the villagers in Xiushan Village, an SS-level difficulty dungeon, the village chief would want to exchange items with Lin Leyou!
This is to make it easier to deal with people coming to Xiushan Village in the future, which means they will retain their memories. Now they have encountered this aunt in red again.
So the young man in red in this neighborhood also has memories? If what he said before is true, wouldn't he have to experience the pain of losing his loved one again and again?
Lin Leyou said, "That's not important. What's important is whether Jiang Changdong and the others will be caught and killed by this aunt in red. He's with Qiu Baiyu now, and the other three have already scattered and fled. But neither the aunt in red nor the security guards chased after them. I guess it's because it has nothing to do with the bombing, so they let them go."
Tang Anzhi stroked his chin. "This situation is a bit complicated. Will they really arrest or kill the couple?"
Lin Leyou said, "How would I know? Anyway, one thing is certain: Jiang Changdong and Qiu Baiyu won't have the time to bother us or the other participants for the time being. There are eleven people left now. Besides the five of us, there are six others. I wonder how many of these six will be left by the end of the night. It would be better if there were more, so that we could pass the final level more smoothly."
Sheng Yang and Feng Jia sat obediently on the side, eating snacks and watching them talk. Although they were somewhat confident in their abilities, in front of the real big shots, they were no different from novices with decent skills.
Especially when they learned that out of 500 players, only eleven remained, and that they were two of them, their sense of crisis was overwhelming!
Honestly, if Lin Leyou and his group hadn't found them before, they probably would have been killed by now.
In their view, there shouldn't be any players with a billion points right now, so the 100% of those 500 players who died must have died in the real world as well.
In other words, this game will kill over 490 players, and only a handful will be able to complete it. They don't even know if they can successfully complete the game.
Although they had experienced players guiding them, whether they could ultimately succeed depended on their own efforts.
Just then, Lin Leyou suddenly heard Xue Rui's voice, "Brother Lin."
Lin Leyou paused slightly, and Tang Anzhi looked over. "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou shook her head, "It's okay, there's nothing to do right now anyway. I'm going to sleep for a while. As for you guys, just stay in the rooms in the same house as before. After you finish eating, go lie down for a while. We can talk about anything else when it gets light."
Tang Anzhi said, "No problem. But you two are truly lovers. Your houses are exactly the same. It seems you're living together."
Lin Leyou smiled but didn't say anything. He waved and walked into the master bedroom, while Tang Anzhi and the others continued eating and drinking. Of course, for Tang Anzhi, it was actually very simple to realize that Feng Jia and Sheng Yang were outsiders.
He knew it from the beginning, since apart from outsiders, no resident of the endless world would call themselves a player.
Feng Jia and Sheng Yang were no strangers. They talked with Tang Anzhi for a long time. Although they looked pitiful and helpless, they still had basic vigilance. Tang Anzhi asked many questions and got answers to them, but there was not much useful information.
Furthermore, unless players know each other in the real world, they will not reveal too much about the real world to other players, especially things related to their own identity and privacy.
After realizing he couldn't get any more information, Tang Anzhi ended the conversation. "Go back and rest. I'll go get some more sleep too. We'll discuss the plan again when it's light. The two of them will act together, while the three of us will need to act together."
Lin Leyou returned to the master bedroom, looked at Xue Rui lying on the bed with his eyes open, sighed deeply, got into bed and covered himself with the blanket, "Go to sleep."
Xue Rui then held the person in his arms and fell asleep instantly. Lin Leyou found it unbelievable. Did Xue Rui really not be able to fall asleep without holding her?
If that's the case, then in the real world, when he can only sleep alone, can he still fall asleep?
Or maybe I should give him a life-size doll that looks just like me? That way he can sleep with his own... doll in the real world.
Lin Leyou was speechless, but now was not the time to speak. He took out his phone and started browsing the live news, only to find that the entire city had undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time.
The news reports were all about attacks on certain places, bombs, fires, and even sabotage of water pipes.
Of course, those who commit arson or even drowning will inevitably die for violating the rules, but what are their reasons for doing so?
Although rule invalidation cards or resurrection coins are not exclusive to dungeon participants and special NPCs, ordinary NPCs who possess these two items are extremely rare.
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes as he looked at the real-time news. Although there were very few, the total population of the city was definitely over ten million. Under such circumstances, even if there were few ordinary NPCs with items, there should be at least a few hundred. If they were more powerful, there could be over a thousand.
If that's the case, then we can find the reason for the high frequency of these news reports: ordinary NPCs with invalid rule cards are starting to exert their power.
What's worse is that this isn't the time for the real riots to begin yet. There are definitely more people like them who will go out after 8 PM to make a final stand.
In other words, the real chaos is expected to begin after 8 o'clock; what we're seeing now is just minor skirmishes.
Lin Leyou continued to observe Jiang Changdong and the other special NPCs. Qiu Baiyu was also a resident with many props, so she had not yet been caught by the aunt in red and the security guard with the rat. As for Jiang Changdong, his strength was no less than that of Qiu Baiyu.
Zhang Xing and Yi Nanfeng stayed together, but instead of going out to find something to do, they observed Jiang Changdong and his group from a distance, seemingly preparing to help.
The other Hu Yu is wandering around outside, looking for someone, probably other participants. They're killing as many as they can now, so they can unleash their killing spree tonight and do whatever they want.
Lin Leyou had arranged for some mechanical spiders outside to constantly relay the chaos outside to him, but fortunately, even though there were many things happening, they were all on a small scale.
After observing the situation, he realized that now was not the best time, and the neighborhood was really quiet with nothing happening. He wondered if the man in red in charge of the neighborhood was the same type as the woman in red in the other neighborhood.
People are not allowed to do bad things on their own property, especially things like damaging the community environment.
Lin Leyou took out his two alarms. One belonged to the woman in red in the residential area and was brought to him by Xue Rui. The other was given to him by the man in red in the same neighborhood.
It only works when it's crushed on the other side's territory, and I don't know if that's actually effective.
Time seemed to pass slowly, but it actually went by very quickly, as if it were only a blink of an eye, yet it was already dawn outside.
They stood on the balcony and looked out. The neighborhood was still peaceful, but further away, they could see black smoke billowing from many places.
Tang Anzhi, "So chaotic..."
Sheng Yang: "Can we really get through this?"
Tang Anzhi said, "What are you afraid of? Don't we have attack helicopters? When the time comes, are there any helicopters stronger than ours? Besides, I have ten minutes of invincibility at the end, which can guarantee that we won't be killed."
Sheng Yang thought it made sense, "That makes sense."
