Chapter 103 [(*^▽^*)]
Without a second thought, Xue Rui said, "Thank you, Brother Lin, I'll go!"
Lin Leyou's lips curled up. "You have potential. Get ready, and come with me when I go to work later."
Xue Rui's eyes lit up. "Great!"
After dinner, Xue Rui happily cleaned up the kitchen, while Lin Leyou went to the balcony. The sun had already set, and it was pitch black outside except for the streetlights.
Two evil spirits remain in the neighborhood...
Lin Leyou couldn't help but think of the mirror in the captain's hand that couldn't reflect anything but showed the number 2. That thing was really something.
If I could get my hands on it, I could take it to other dungeons and use it. Wouldn't that give me a chance to check the number of monsters in the dungeon?
I don't know if I'll be able to get something similar in the future.
Time flew by, and Lin Leyou brought Xue Rui to the security booth around the appointed time. The journey was remarkably peaceful, and they did not encounter any ambush by evil spirits.
The two remaining evil spirits in the neighborhood probably wouldn't appear before him while he was at work, but at this moment...
He needed to go to Fan Qing's house to see if the evil spirit that Liu Wenwen mentioned, which looked exactly like his father, would appear there. If he could find it, that would be the best outcome.
The captain looked at them, his gaze lingering on Xue Rui several times. "Is this the person you told me about before?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's right, I trust this person, he's definitely not an evil spirit in disguise."
The captain nodded, looking quite satisfied. "In that case, I'll trust you this time. I hope nothing unexpected happens."
And so, Xue Rui naturally became a temporary security guard.
That's right, Xue Rui is a temporary security guard and cannot become a permanent one; he's a temporary worker...
It's okay, nothing else matters.
To Lin Leyou's surprise, the captain did not assign Xue Rui, the temporary security guard, the task of guarding the gate.
Lin Leyou was puzzled. "Captain, now that there's another security guard, your workload can be reduced a bit."
The captain hesitated for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "He's just a temporary security guard. He can patrol the neighborhood without any problem, but I'll have to be the one to watch the gate."
Lin Leyou, "Why?"
The captain replied matter-of-factly, “This job is very important. A temporary security guard… Even though you are my guarantor, we still need to be careful. It’s impossible for him to replace me right away.”
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "In that case, let him be a patrol security guard, and let another patrol security guard replace you here. That way, Captain, you can go back and rest."
The captain paused for a moment. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he quickly came to the conclusion that he seemed to have nothing to say in rebuttal.
Having no other choice, he could only agree, "In that case, when he comes to work next time, let this temporary security guard patrol for him and let him stay in the guard booth. I'll go back and rest."
Lin Leyou nodded, "No problem, so now he..."
If you come to work at noon, then it's not working hours now, which means you should go home?
The captain said, "Temporary security guards don't have so many rules. There are no mandatory working hours. As long as he comes to work at noon, he can move around freely at other times. Of course, there are fewer people now, so it would be good if he could come out to patrol."
In other words, temporary security guards must come to work when required to do so, and should also work as much as possible even when there are no specific hours.
As expected of a temporary worker, they're exploiting him relentlessly.
Lin Leyou didn't see anything wrong with it, as it meant that Xue Rui could wear a uniform and carry a stun gun all day long.
Furthermore, Xue Rui can now patrol with him, which is not bad.
He immediately led Xue Rui outside the residential area and found the broken statue next to the trash can from yesterday. "It's this thing. I can't move it by myself."
Xue Rui first carefully observed inside the fog, but he found that it was just fog and he couldn't see anything else. "Isn't it said that the fog is full of evil spirits? Countless evil spirits."
Lin Leyou: "We're security guards now, and so are you."
Xue Rui was taken aback. "I almost forgot, so even the evil spirits outside the residential area will avoid the security guards?"
Lin Leyou: "Of course, I came out yesterday and didn't see any evil spirits."
Then Lin Leyou pointed to the statue, "This..."
Since he didn't see any evil spirits, Xue Rui focused his attention on the statue. He examined it carefully and said, "It doesn't seem to be of any use. Is there anything special about this thing?"
Lin Leyou said, "It might be a special item related to Liu Rongping. Let's take it back and repair it first, then we'll see. The captain has prepared a full set of tools for me."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
The two of them worked together to lift the object and brought it back to the residential area, placing it next to the security booth. Lin Leyou then asked the team leader for the head of the statue they had brought back yesterday, as well as the tools.
The captain seemed to have been prepared in advance. As soon as Lin Leyou arrived, he took out all the items and even helped him put them near the statue.
It was very neatly arranged, and just as the captain said, all the tools that could be used were here.
"Take good care of fixing it. Once it's done, put it back in its original location."
Lin Leyou thought of the mark he had discovered yesterday. "Okay, Captain."
The captain stood to the side and stared at them for a while before slowly returning to the security booth.
He was still sitting listlessly in the chair, his arms propped up on the table, his head resting on his arms, looking quite comfortable.
Her eyes seemed closed, yet not quite, as if she were asleep, and it was hard to tell if she was looking at them.
Xue Rui examined the sculpture briefly, then picked up a bunch of tools and tried them out. "It doesn't seem too difficult to repair."
Lin Leyou had actually observed it yesterday. It was indeed not too difficult to repair. He just roughly checked the damaged area. In fact, all he needed to do was to reassemble the head and fix it in place. There were no broken or missing steel plates in the middle.
Lin Leyou thought it was not only not difficult, but extremely simple! Anyone with a little bit of hands-on ability could do it, as long as they weren't stupid.
So, was this sculpture really thrown away because it was damaged? Or was it deliberately broken before being thrown away because the decision was made to discard it?
It's very simple; the repair time was less than twenty minutes in total.
Xue Rui put down his tools, and Lin Leyou collected all the tools and put them back in the security room.
The captain looked at the statue and smiled enigmatically. "Is this thing fixed?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes."
The captain said, "It's all thanks to you. You're such a good person."
That sounds a bit odd, but the captain must have been saying something nice about him, right?
"It's nothing."
Lin Leyou didn't want to talk to the captain anymore for the time being. After discussing it with Xue Rui, the two of them worked together to move the sculpture to the location he had discovered yesterday.
The circular, trampled marks on the lawn perfectly match the cylindrical base beneath the sculpture.
Xue Rui: "It really is here."
They had expected that something would happen or attract something after the statue was placed there, but in the pitch-black night and under the dark shade of the trees, they waited for a long time and nothing happened.
"That's strange, this shouldn't be happening..."
Xue Rui went to check a little further away, but still found nothing.
Lin Leyou thought about it carefully for a while, then walked around the statue a few times to observe it closely. Finally, he decided to try adjusting its angle, hoping to gain some unexpected insights.
The statue was then positioned so that it faced directly towards Building 1.
Although nothing had changed, the two of them could clearly feel that the air around them had changed. If it was calm and uneventful before, it now felt like there was a sense of danger surging in the air.
"Let's go take a look at Building 1."
Xue Rui played with the stun gun in his hand. He had been very envious of the stun gun in Lin Leyou's hand from the beginning, and he never thought he would actually have the opportunity to get his hands on it.
Moreover, the uniform... wearing the uniform actually makes one immune to attacks. No wonder all the evil spirits in this neighborhood avoid the security guards who are on duty.
It cannot attack; if it gets hit, it will faint.
If you encounter a security guard who doesn't have the ability to kill evil spirits, that's fine. But if you have the weapons and methods to kill evil spirits, then encountering a security guard is a real misfortune for the evil spirit.
The two arrived near Unit 2 of Building 1 and observed their surroundings, but did not see the so-called evil spirit clinging to the window.
However, the house was well-ventilated from north to south. Lin Leyou told Xue Rui to wait there while he went to check the back of Building 1. He didn't see anything suspicious there.
Could it be that Liu Wenwen lied? Or is the evil spirit absent today?
Such good luck?
Xue Rui messaged, "Brother Lin, have you found anything on your end?"
Lin Leyou: "No."
But just then, the light came on in the room he was staring at, though the curtains were drawn, so he couldn't see what was inside.
He stood quietly in a secluded spot, watching the other side, and then he saw the person inside pull back the bed curtains and look out.
It was Liu Wenwen. She was clearly standing on tiptoe to look out. She didn't open the window and just looked left and right, as if she was looking for something. But after looking for a while and not seeing anything, she looked very disappointed.
She turned and walked into the room, turning off the light, but she didn't close the curtains that she had only partially opened. This was...
Did you forget? Or was it intentional?
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, I think there's some noise on my end."
Upon seeing the message, Lin Leyou immediately started to walk forward, but he stopped after taking only a couple of steps because he also heard a sound coming from the bushes not far behind him.
