Chapter 659 [(*^▽^*)]

At this point, there were still thirteen minutes left until midnight. The woman in red seemed to only realize this now, "Oh right, right, the door wasn't open. Look at my memory, I locked the door when I came out."

She reached out and slammed her hand on the door. With a loud bang, the door was smashed to pieces by the woman in red, and the shattered pieces fell to the ground.

The door that had been blocking their way had vanished. They instinctively wanted to see what was inside, but even standing right there in the doorway, staring wide-eyed, they could only see darkness.

It was as if there was an invisible and intangible black barrier in the place where the door originally was, blocking their view and preventing them from seeing what was inside.

Lin Leyou's flashlight was about to shine into the door when, at that moment, the woman in red grabbed his wrist, and the flashlight beam was only a hair's breadth away from the door.

Xue Rui immediately wanted to come over and help him break free, but Lin Leyou calmed him down.

The woman in red lowered her voice, making it sound hoarse, which sounded particularly eerie and terrifying in the dark and quiet alley.

"Alright, the door is open. Hurry up and go in, don't waste any time."

After saying that, she actually grabbed Lin Leyou's hand and tried to push him inside, but Xue Rui stopped her.

The woman in red, with her dark eyes, stared intently at Xue Rui. "Young man, I was just trying to be helpful. Why don't you go inside?"

Lin Leyou suddenly took out a button and handed it to the woman in red. She was stunned the moment she saw it, and subconsciously let go of Lin Leyou's wrist before taking the button from his hand.

How did you get this?

Lin Leyou shook his head without saying anything, then glanced at Xue Rui. Xue Rui quickly took out one of his own items, which was the one he had given to Lin Leyou before.

They said the woman in red gave them two tokens, one for each of them, to be used to save their lives at a certain time.

The woman in red looked at the two... alarms in her hand.

Yes, this is an alarm. She remembered it; she had given it to the two of them before. She couldn't believe she had forgotten about it. She patted her forehead. "Oh right, there's this too. I almost forgot!"

She took the item from the two of them shortly after, then made no further moves, turned and left without saying whether she could enter the house or leave the alley.

But Lin Leyou still turned the beam of his flashlight into the broken doorway, and they saw a dense mass of corpses piled up inside.

The door didn't lead to a room, but to a large, deep pit. No one knew how deep it was, but it was filled with corpses, the pile almost reaching the doorway.

Lin Leyou said, "If you go inside, then you can really rest."

Xue Rui: "Shall we leave the alley now?"

The lady in red was walking quite fast just now. It's only been a few seconds, and she's already gone in another direction. Now we can't even see her anymore, and the red dot is no longer visible on Xue Rui's prop screen.

Xue Rui released his monitoring ball, "The mechanical spider can't be restored once it's destroyed, so using the monitoring ball is more cost-effective."

Although the woman in red left, the two red dots that appeared earlier at the alley entrance where they had just entered remained there. Although they moved slightly, they did not go far and are still guarding the alley.

The surveillance sphere flew overhead, but it didn't capture anything until it left the alley, at which point two people appeared on the monitor.

They saw the monitoring ball immediately, and the monitoring footage disappeared at the same time.

Xue Rui, "was destroyed."

Lin Leyou said, "These two people look quite alike, and they are very strong and have a lot of items. They are probably residents. Players wouldn't be this powerful."

Xue Rui, "Can I use your 'ghost wall' skill?"

Lin Leyou: "It can be used, but breaking the 'ghost wall' skill is still possible."

Xue Rui said, "I have the skill 'Golden Body,' which gives me 30 seconds of invincibility. If it's melee combat, I should be able to kill them."

Lin Leyou said, "If you can successfully get close to them, I can lend you my Soul-Splitting Dagger."

Speaking of this, Lin Leyou suddenly remembered that he also had a skill called Soul Transformation, which allowed him to transform into a ghost form for ten minutes, causing damage to the souls of others. Combined with his passive skill that doubled the damage, and the Soul-Splitting Dagger... if he could kill one of them, he could possess the corpse that had just died. At that time, he could definitely catch them off guard and kill them, right?

And ten minutes... there are only ten minutes left until midnight.

However, this is all in his imagination. Soul transformation does seem quite powerful, but transforming into a ghost form means that attacks effective against ghosts are also effective against him.

Given the large number of evil spirits that have appeared here recently, these two special NPCs must be carrying weapons to deal with ghosts.

Perhaps after I transform into a soul, I won't be able to get close to them at all. The only difference between me and these evil spirits is that after I use my skill to transform into a soul, no one can see me with the naked eye.

So now the only option is to use Xue Rui's 30-second invincible golden body?

The surveillance screen in Xue Rui's hand, which detects living people, still showed that they were guarding outside the alley and had not left at all. In other words, their combat puppets had not been retrieved yet.

It's absolutely impossible to enter through the alley entrance guarded by these two special NPCs, so the only option is to have the combat golem take a longer route and enter from the other side of the alley.

Xue Rui: "Eight minutes left."

Lin Leyou: "They'll break in."

Xue Rui assessed the situation and concluded, "It will take about five minutes for the combat puppets to come from behind. We must retrieve these two items before the time runs out."

They got the battle golem from the Xiushan Village dungeon, and it has to be said that it is indeed very useful.

The real fear is that these two special NPCs won't even last five minutes before barging in.

"Shall we move back a bit and see?"

The alley has two exits. Someone is blocking the front exit so that they can leave through the back exit.

Xue Rui held his hand, "Don't move for now."

Lin Leyou, "What?"

Xue Rui said, "They can pinpoint our location. Right now, we're close to them, so they haven't left. But if we move to the other side, they might turn around and wait for us on the other side, and then we'll run into the combat puppets."

Lin Leyou was still unwilling to give up, so he tried to locate all the special NPCs and dungeon participants whose names and appearances he knew, but unfortunately, he still couldn't find any location information.

They are all really dead.

Lin Leyou put the ** away. "It seems that, in the entire instance, the only people who can still move around outside are the two of us participants, the two special NPCs outside, and the man in red."

Suddenly, Lin Leyou took out another alarm from his pocket. The one the woman in red had taken was taken by her, but he had another one that the man in red in his neighborhood had given him.

The third of the ten rules of the Rule Kingdom is that if you encounter danger while out at night, you can seek help from the person in red.

What if the person in red isn't around when you encounter danger? Breaking this thing will get the person in red to help you.

Xue Rui: "We're not in that neighborhood, so he won't come here."

The woman in red just took two alarms, which is exactly the kind of device you can ask her for help with.

Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "I've observed this alarm many times before, and it's exactly the same. Do you think it can summon the red-clothed person wherever it's used?"

Xue Rui, "You mean... this can summon a man in red when used in that neighborhood, but here it summons an aunt in red."

Lin Leyou: "Look at the screen, they're about to enter the alley."

Xue Rui looked at the two red dots on the screen. Although they only saw the monitoring ball that had just been released for a moment, that moment was enough for them to see the equipment on the two people.

Wearing black special forces uniforms and covered in defensive gear, even if there were weapons capable of breaking through any defenses and causing damage, the defensive gear would provide the opponent with time to prevent bullets from hitting them.

After all, bullets from true damage weapons can't turn corners and have built-in tracking capabilities.

Xue Rui had already raised the Blood Shadow Gun in his hand, pointing it forward, while Lin Leyou held an empty gun and pointed his flashlight forward.

As the two red dots crossed the line at the alley entrance, their figures came into view. Both sides attacked each other immediately. Lin Leyou had a defensive energy shield, so the attacks failed to harm them.

But in just five seconds, Lin Leyou's energy shield restarted ten times! That is to say, in those five seconds, they suffered at least ten fatal attacks.

"The gold-plated defensive item that Lin Leyou has is really quite troublesome."

Lin Leyou suddenly thought of a plan. He grabbed Xue Rui and rushed through the door beside him. Inside the dark door were countless corpses, and considering the actions of the woman in red earlier, they should absolutely not go in. But Lin Leyou did it anyway.

Xue Rui didn't have the slightest doubt and followed him directly inside.

"Still thinking of running? It's too late..."

"Don't waste time, there are only five minutes left!"

The two ran over quickly, but when they stood in front of the gate, they saw that it was pitch black inside. "Huh? Why can't we see what's inside with our night vision goggles?"

"Let's go in and take a look."

"You stay outside, I'll go in first, and I'll call you again if there's nothing else."

"……OK."

The person in front went in first, but there was no further movement after that. The person standing outside realized something was wrong in less than a minute and quickly took a step back.
