Chapter 669 [(*^▽^*)]

Xue Rui blinked, because the instance was so peaceful that he had even forgotten about it.

Without a word, he pointed upwards, "To the rooftop?"

Lin Leyou nodded, "Let's go. If they're really after me, fighting in our house will definitely damage the house, and it won't be worth it."

Of course, the house will definitely be restored to its original state after the dungeon ends, but even so, he doesn't want to see his house destroyed.

After getting dressed and ready, the two went up to the rooftop. Looking down from the rooftop, they could see the player walking downstairs and heading in aggressively.

The last player clearly noticed their gaze, and when he looked up, his eyes met theirs. "They're on the rooftop, let's go to the rooftop!"

A female player with long, straight black hair and a little black dress suddenly spoke in a man's voice, and the two also noticed that there was another female player dressed the same standing next to him.

The two of them thought of it at the same time: the red-haired and green-haired men who hadn't been caught by security guards in the past few days were obviously in disguise.

Xue Rui, "Do you think the security guards will be persuaded by them?"

Lin Leyou shook his head, "Logically speaking, the BOSS is both harming the players and targeting the security guards. Logically speaking, as long as the BOSS appears, if the players go to ask the security guards for help, the security guards will definitely not sit idly by, and may even come over together."

They could even hear the thumping footsteps of someone rushing up the stairs, and just then, the security guard rushed over from a distance.

Lin Leyou was puzzled. "Wait... what's going on? They're treating me like a boss and attacking me?"

Xue Rui, "Should we make the first move?"

Lin Leyou: "Logically, if we kill all the players, the dungeon will be over, but the security guards will arrive, so should we kill the security guards too?"

He recalled that the security guards had special buffs and very powerful equipment while on duty.

Before long, about seven or eight players arrived on the rooftop and stood not far from them, just staring at them.

Lin Leyou looked over and saw two well-disguised red-haired and green-haired players, as well as the group of one man and two women that he had been watching. He didn't recognize the rest, but they didn't seem like idiots.

"How suspicious, why are they both wearing black masks so late at night? Never mind, that's not important. Which of these two is the BOSS again?"

"It's the tall one."

Okay, case solved. The tall one is Xue Rui. It turns out they got it wrong. This group of people didn't think Lin Leyou was the BOSS, but rather they thought Xue Rui was the BOSS. So why is that?

Their lives had been very regular for the past few days, and they hadn't done anything wrong or attention-grabbing, so why were they mistaken for the BOSS?

"We've already recognized the BOSS, so why isn't he making a move? Shouldn't he be transforming by now?"

How would I know?

"Does this mean we need to attack? Shall we try attacking first?"

Lin Leyou took a step forward angrily, "What are you doing? Harming others at will in the Happiness Community?"

The players were stunned for a moment when they heard Lin Leyou say this. Then, the male player who had been pretending to be a security guard shouted anxiously at him, "Come here quickly! The one next to you is a demon, not a real person. Get away from him immediately, or you'll be a hostage!"

Lin Leyou thought he was talking nonsense. He knew who the boss was in this Happy Community instance, so what was wrong with these players?

They could easily kill these players now, since they were the ones who initiated the attack on the ordinary NPCs in the community, and you were just acting in self-defense.

Lin Leyou: "You say he's an evil spirit, but words are meaningless. Produce evidence."

Upon hearing this, the players were all stunned for a moment. Produce evidence? Well, they really didn't have any evidence. As for why they chose Xue Rui and called him the BOSS, there was actually a reason.

That was Red Hair and Green Hair's assessment: their leader, Yellow Hair, went to find the two men, but never returned. Soon after, they discovered that Yellow Hair's body had been dumped by the security guards into the mist outside the gate.

It was also because the security guards did not throw the body out immediately after taking it away, but left it by the gate for a while, which is why the two of them happened to see it when they passed by.

The blond guy was definitely not killed by the security guard. So how else could he have died? They had encountered evil spirits in the neighborhood before, but these evil spirits were definitely not powerful enough to kill the blond guy silently.

So in their view, only these two are the culprits. So who is the BOSS? That's a good question. Red Hair then took out a prop. This prop wasn't that powerful; it was just a blue-grade prop, but it could detect people who were different from others.

If there is an old man among a group of young people, then the old man will be marked. If there is a ghost among a group of people, then the ghost will be roughly marked.

But the mark was really blurry, and he could only roughly know its location, so Red Hair couldn't be 100% sure that the oddball was Xue Rui.

If Lin Leyou and Xue Rui had known he had this tool, they would have known immediately. The reason this tool led them to Xue Rui was entirely because Xue Rui had smuggled himself in.

Everyone else, whether NPCs or players, entered the instance through normal means, which is why they were marked. However... if Xue Rui wasn't there, then the one marked would definitely be the BOSS.

However, there is one certainty about this prop: the location of the mark is very vague. We can only know a general location, but we cannot determine who it is. So now they are at a stalemate.

Just then, the security guard downstairs caught up with them. "Have you found the leader of the evil spirits?"

Lin Leyou recognized the person who came up. "Hello."

The security captain was taken aback when he saw him. "You're the leader of the evil spirits?"

Lin Leyou shook her head, "How could that be? We've known each other for so long, how could you not know?"

The security captain nodded. "That's true. You couldn't possibly be him, so what about the people around you..."

Lin Leyou sighed, "This is my boyfriend. He just happened to be on holiday and came to stay with me for a few days. He'll be going back soon. He wasn't a resident of this community before. He can't possibly be some kind of evil spirit leader, can he?"

Upon hearing this, the red-haired man was stunned. He thought this was the BOSS, but he was told that his prop was pointing at him not because of this, but because he was not a resident of this community!

Apart from him, everyone else in the community, whether they are living people, players, or evil spirits, all belong to this community!

The three security guards who had just arrived all looked at the player and asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened? Why did they say he was the leader of the evil spirits?"

As a result, the two female players who were disguised as having long, straight black hair quietly hid in the darkness, preparing to escape. Just kidding, although they were very confident in their disguise, if they stayed together for too long, who knew if they would be discovered?

Lin Leyou then asked, "Hey, why are you two running away?"

Everyone's eyes turned to that direction, including the security guards and the other players. The players were also a little surprised. "Why did they run away? Oh right, it's what they told us, BO... said the Demon Leader is here!"

"Yes, that's what they said. They came to us and said that the leader of the evil spirits is that tall guy, and they want us to take him down together!"

Three security guards surrounded them, but Red Hair and Green Hair weren't about to be captured. They were closer to the exit, and before the guards could take two steps, they turned and ran. In the blink of an eye, they were inside, and casually closed and locked the rooftop door.

When the security guard realized what was happening and tried to break down the door, he found it was already locked.

"Break them open! These two are definitely suspicious. Seize them, and if they resist, shoot them on the spot!"

Several security guards took turns ramming the door, and after about ten seconds it was broken open. Then all the security guards rushed out and disappeared from their sight. Now only Lin Leyou and his companion, along with some other players, were left on the rooftop.

There's no point in the players staying here now; they need to continue searching for the real boss and killing it, but they still have no clue how.

Or perhaps they've already discovered some anomalies, but they don't know where the real boss is. The evil spirit lives in the neighborhood disguised as a human, which is the most difficult part.

There are many people in the neighborhood. They have searched for many strange people, but they cannot be sure. They have even been attacked by many evil spirits at night. So far, the only players they know are the few in front of them and the two who just escaped.

As for whether there are any other surviving players, they themselves don't know.

"Um... well, we have something to do, so we'll be going now."

Lin Leyou nodded casually, and after watching them leave, he took Xue Rui's hand and returned home. "Are these players even capable of anything?"

Xue Rui said, "It's highly unlikely that they'll be able to clear the game. They haven't even finished killing all the evil spirits yet, so the BOSS definitely won't appear."

Lin Leyou: "That's right, that's roughly the process for this instance. It's a pity they didn't know to actively hunt down the evil spirits. They brought this situation upon themselves. There are only a few hours left..."

He had already retrieved the mechanical spiders that had been placed outside, so there was no need to put them out anymore. Since the game was over anyway, the players wouldn't come looking for them anymore.

The last few hours were very quiet in the whole neighborhood. Lin Leyou and Xue Rui leaned together and looked at the photos they had taken in other instances. They hadn't looked at them much in the resort instance.

Previously, Lin Leyou would choose for herself, but now that Xue Rui is here and they have time, they can take a look at some more, pick out some that Xue Rui likes, frame them, and put them on the cabinets and bookshelves outside.

After looking at so many photos for several hours, Xue Rui had only barely finished. In the end, he selected one photo from each of the various instances, saying, "If only I could get them over there..."
