Chapter 84 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou led him to the guest room, the only one in the house. Fortunately, it had everything he needed. "Everything is new, so you can use it without worry."

Having participated in so many dungeons, Xue Rui didn't care whether he was using new equipment or not; as long as it was a safe place, he wouldn't have any problems.

And...he is now...

Lin Leyou escorted him to his guest room and then returned to her own. Unsure if anything would bother her that night, she decided to make the most of her time to rest.

However, something did come to bother her at night, but Lin Leyou had already learned to control her emotions and pretend not to hear any noises outside.

Xue Rui was startled at first, but he quickly realized that it was just a sound coming in, and those things wouldn't actually break in. In that case...

These sounds were like hypnotic sounds to him, because in the previous dungeons, especially the last one, he didn't even have a chance to sleep.

The slightest sound or disturbance would instantly wake him up, and he would immediately grab his weapon.

That's all the noise we're making right now, it's just a drizzle!

Of course, Xue Rui also knew that if he hadn't been so lucky to meet Lin Leyou, tonight's situation wouldn't have been much better than the previous instance.

Lying in bed at night, Lin Leyou was waiting for a system notification, such as whether his first mission had failed, but he waited for a long time without receiving one.

What's going on?

Xue Rui has already accepted that he is an NPC, so how come the mission hasn't failed yet?

And it's something I've practically admitted to myself, so is there still a chance for things to turn around?

Are the conditions not met yet?

He silently recited the system's commands in his mind.

"Hint: The player needs to deny your identity in person and provide evidence."

Lin Leyou blinked. So, it's possible to cheat on the first task, right?

Even if Xue Rui already knew in his heart that he was not a player and knew that he was an NPC, as long as he did not say to his face that he was not a player and did not give a reason, then his first mission would not be considered a failure!

So now he's only one word from Xue Rui away from failing his first mission?

"You're not a player, you've admitted it yourself!"

Lin Leyou didn't know what to say. In short, this was a good thing. Now, the only problem left for him was how to explain his close relationship with the other players to Xue Rui.

Hmm... what kind of excuse would be appropriate?

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xue Rui, who had been getting a very good rest, got up early and busied himself in the kitchen. For him, the most important thing now was to win over this Boss Lin.

I've already met him in three different instances. This NPC is definitely not simple; at least he can move around in many instances.

Xue Rui thought highly of him.

When Lin Leyou woke up and came out, she saw Xue Rui making breakfast, which smelled quite delicious—fried eggs. "You got up so early?"

Xue Rui: "It's not that early, making breakfast should be enough."

Lin Leyou checked the time; it was still early. After washing up, she came out and saw breakfast on the table. "Sure enough, I'm just not suited for this..."

Xue Rui came out of the kitchen. "What's not quite right?"

Lin Leyou pulled out a chair and sat down. "Not really suited for cooking..."

Xue Rui, "What's wrong?"

Lin Leyou said, "It's nothing. I just cooked myself a few meals before. Although they were edible, they were very different from the food outside."

Food from outside.

Xue Rui caught the word, but he quickly realized that there was a supermarket and a mobile phone store in the neighborhood, so it was normal for there to be restaurants as well.

But thinking about this, Xue Rui finally came up with an unlikely idea in his mind.

Is this an entire world? The dungeons players need to clear each time are actually small parts of this world, like the beginner dungeon, Fish Village…

Yes, Shangyu Village, Qingshui Town, and Xingfu Community.

This happy community is clearly located in the city. Is this a city?

He took a bite of his fried egg. "Is Happiness Residential Area in the city?"

Lin Leyou glanced at him without saying a word, "Yes, it's still more convenient to live in the city."

really!

Xue Rui's breathing became rapid. He wanted to ask more, and his gaze fell on Lin Leyou, but he found that Lin Leyou was looking at him with an unreadable expression.

He paused slightly, and the thought in his mind immediately vanished.

No, now is not the time to ask this. If I ask too much, the NPC might become suspicious... Losing this NPC's favor would be a huge loss for him.

After finishing his meal, Lin Leyou checked the time again. It would be 7:30 in a little while. He prepared his things and changed into his security guard uniform and equipment as quickly as possible at 7:30.

I grabbed a mask and put it on. Even if I ran into Xue Rui, I still had to hide my face. After all, I had no experience with this before, so I would have to be more careful in the future.

Xue Rui is the only one who knows his identity; the other players can forget about it. From now on, no matter what NPC they are, they will have to hide their appearance.

"Let's go, we should head out."

Xue Rui: "Okay."

He had already packed his things and was waiting. He was already at the door when Lin Leyou called him.

The two stood at the door, and Lin Leyou suddenly said, "By the way, a group of strange people have recently come to the neighborhood, so be careful when you go out."

Xue Rui was taken aback. "What strange person?"

Lin Leyou said, "There were people who gathered together and said strange things. Just in case, I stood nearby and watched them. As a result, they also said some strange things to me."

Xue Rui roughly understood who Lin Leyou was talking about. Could it be another player? Did they mistake the security guards who were watching them for players when they gathered?

Xue Rui: "So what did they say?"

Lin Leyou said something about looking for something, looking for clues, and wandering around the neighborhood.

"In short, they are a group of dangerous people who want to do bad things. I will keep an eye on them. If you encounter any strange people in the neighborhood, don't talk to them."

Xue Rui nodded, inwardly speechless. "Okay, I understand."

Lin Leyou suddenly asked a question, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, do you also live in this neighborhood?"

Xue Rui hesitated. Lin Leyou didn't ask last night, but asked this morning. Did she suspect him?

He thought about his role in the community: "I came to visit relatives, but unfortunately, all of my relatives had to leave for other commitments, so I had to stay here alone for a few days."

“But I ran into her yesterday… I’m a little afraid to go back, so…”

Lin Leyou: "So that's how it is. Then you dare to cooperate with me and provoke those things."

Xue Rui said, "This is my relative's neighborhood, and if I don't deal with it, I won't feel at ease staying here for the next few days. I was chased yesterday, and I don't think they'll let me off the hook for the next few days. I should be under their watch. Anyway, since things are already like this, I might as well try to see if I can kill them all."

“Bring him to Mr. Lin so you can kill him.”

After Lin Leyou went out, she looked at him and said, "Okay, this is also my job. With you cooperating, I can have an easier time. In that case, you can go for a walk in the community first, and then wait for me at the security booth... which is near the community gate. I will come to find you there."

Xue Rui: "Okay."

He didn't secretly follow Lin Leyou; who knows if the NPCs would be able to spot him?

He simply circled around twice, then followed Lin Leyou's instructions and waited for him at the entrance. Lin Leyou had already arrived at the supermarket.

This supermarket is only accessible to residents of the neighborhood; players, of course, are unaware of it and cannot enter.

He picked out the most expensive phone and left quickly.

When he arrived at the gate, it was only ten minutes to eight o'clock.

He handed the phone to Xue Rui and the box, which also had a receipt on it. Xue Rui accepted it without saying a word, and carefully looked at the receipt. It was from the Xingfu Community Supermarket, and the price was 20,000 yuan.

The receipt didn't have much information, and after looking at it, he didn't find any more information, so he had to give up.

He first handed over 20,000 yuan to Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou glanced at it and did not refuse. This was real money to him, and he casually put it into his pocket, which was actually put into the system.

"Shall we exchange numbers?" Xue Rui said with a smile, holding up his phone.

Lin Leyou nodded, he didn't care about that, since the two of them wouldn't be able to communicate at all if they weren't in the same instance.

After exchanging numbers, Lin Leyou felt a little strange looking at Zheng Li's number in her phone, wondering when Xue Rui had told her his real name.

Xue Rui: "Can you tell me Mr. Lin's name?"

Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes and pointed to the security room. Looking through the glass, he could see photos of all the security guards on the wall, with their names below them.

Lin Leyou's name, his real name, is below his photo.

So the name Lin Nanyue that I mentioned to Qin Jiao and Yao Mo before was a bit deliberate... If it were discovered, wouldn't I be suspected?

Xue Rui nodded after seeing this, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

Lin Leyou thought for a moment and then said, "Don't call my name in the neighborhood, okay?"

Xue Rui was taken aback for a moment, but didn't ask why. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

The security captain came over and said, "Xiao Lin, come in for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Lin Leyou patted Xue Rui on the shoulder, "You go first."

Xue Rui: "Okay."

After he walked away to a distance, Lin Leyou followed the captain into the security room. "Captain, what happened?"

The security captain looked grim. "Yesterday, a patrolling security guard was attacked and has been taken to the hospital."

Lin Leyou understood what he meant: that there were only two security guards patrolling now, right?
