Chapter 106 [(*^▽^*)]
Seeing his somewhat dazed expression, Xue Rui became uneasy. "Brother Lin, what... have you thought of?"
Lin Leyou recalled everything that had happened since the start of the instance and realized that he would go to that person whenever he needed a clue.
But is it really him?
Since I first met him, he has always been the one who has offered me help. I had also met this security captain when I first came to the neighborhood to rent a house.
That's not right either. The dungeon wasn't open at that time, and it was the first time I'd met the team leader, so it's understandable that I couldn't tell.
After the dungeon is opened, many of the designated NPCs and monsters will appear.
And Xue Rui is right, so many security guards who have worked in the community for so long have had accidents, but he is the only one who survived, and he is just a new security guard.
The only difference between him and other security guards is that he possesses weapons that can actually kill evil spirits.
The other security guards have been here for a long time, and they must have opened the dungeon before. In any case, their experience is definitely more than mine.
Why is this time an exception?
The one who has been hiding behind all this and controlling everything is probably the uncontrolled BOSS in the dungeon. We don't know what it wants to do, but it has indeed controlled so many evil spirits to come and die in front of it.
All the evil spirits in the neighborhood are dead, leaving only one real BOSS. What benefits will this bring to the BOSS?
Isn't the only option to personally engage the player in combat? Are there other options?
That's not right either!
Lin Leyou paced back and forth, somewhat agitated.
This instance has gone out of control, yes, it has gone out of control!
This means that, originally, after all the evil spirits in the neighborhood died, the BOSS would indeed have to come out and continue the dungeon.
The instance will refresh once all players are killed or the instance is killed by other players.
But once it's out of control, this BOSS might have other options.
So what is the choice?
We'll have the mobs back? Where will these mobs come from?
Lin Leyou's first thought was of the densely packed evil spirits lurking in the mist outside the residential area...
Although he had never seen it with his own eyes and it was all told to him by the captain, he knew that Tang Zhengchu, a player, was indeed left in the fog and then died.
What exactly is in the fog is currently unknown, but it is certain that it is not something good.
Lin Leyou felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of this possibility. Could it be that the evil ghost BOSS, now that all the monsters in the neighborhood have died, could allow the evil ghost in the fog outside the neighborhood to enter?
If that's the case, then they are definitely going to lose!
The most dangerous people are those in the community, especially myself; they'll definitely be killed by the BOSS, and if that happens, the instance will have to return to normal...
Perhaps we really need to wait for the security personnel outside to resolve this. What will happen to all the NPCs in the community who have been invaded and controlled by evil spirits?
Erasure everything? Then send in new NPCs. Yes, it's very simple. Then it will be as if nothing ever happened.
He will also die quietly.
Lin Leyou let out a long breath and looked at Xue Rui, "Are there any suspects?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Yes."
Lin Leyou, "Shall we say it together?"
Xue Rui: "Okay."
Lin Leyou, "Three, two, one..."
Xue Rui: "Captain!"
Lin Leyou, "Captain!"
The two looked at each other for a while, then both breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Leyou, "Why do you suspect him?"
Xue Rui: "First, this evil boss's goal is for you to kill all the evil spirits in the neighborhood except for himself. So he will try every means to make you come into contact with these evil spirits, or control these evil spirits to appear near you so that you can kill them successfully."
"So, Brother Lin, from the first evil spirit you killed to the insect-shaped evil spirits you killed before, have you encountered any that were particularly difficult to kill? Any that were very powerful, would fight back, or would attack?"
Lin Leyou shook his head. "No."
There really isn't any. Although there are a few exceptions where a knife is used to cut, requiring many cuts, it's just a matter of delaying the process and doesn't pose any real danger.
He initially thought it was because the community security guards were well-equipped, but he never imagined there were so many hidden stories behind it.
But looking back now, it seems to be true.
Especially when he first started working with Xue Rui and Qin Jiao, every time they encountered a demon, it would appear right in front of him when he opened the door, and he only needed to seize the opportunity to swing his stun gun.
Looking back now, it seems there were quite a few coincidences.
so……
Xue Rui said, "Brother Lin... Logically speaking, Liu Rongping should not be easy for us to find. Even if he is seen, he can escape quickly and will not be caught. Especially since the captain said that he used a stun gun three times before and it was no use. That should be true."
“If that’s the case, then if you need to kill Liu Rongping, then we need another way, such as telling you about the existence of this statue so that you can do it voluntarily.”
"He must know the purpose of the statue. After you finish doing all this, you will find that Liu Rongping, who was nowhere to be found, has suddenly appeared and is clinging to the statue like a madman. He is very easy to kill."
Lin Leyou, “The first point is that the captain deliberately revealed the matter of the sculpture so that I could meet Liu Rongping smoothly and kill him faster. The second point is what I told you before about the captain taking out a mirror-like object that showed the number 2, right?”
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin mentioned it briefly before, and I really found it amazing that it was a hint about the number of evil spirits remaining in the community."
Lin Leyou said, "I thought it was amazing at the time, but now that I think about it, I realize something is wrong."
Xue Rui: "It's very suspicious that the captain of the frontal security team actually possesses a tool that can detect the number of evil spirits. I'm more inclined to believe that the thing belongs to the evil spirit BOSS and is used to check how many subordinates he has left."
Lin Leyou, "It was precisely when I mentioned this that your suspicions about him deepened, to the point that you became certain, right?"
Xue Rui said, "I couldn't be really sure before, I just felt that the captain was becoming increasingly suspicious and might not be on our side, but I couldn't confirm his true identity. But now it seems..."
Lin Leyou sighed, "If we're not mistaken, the captain is probably the real BOSS!"
Even though Xue Rui was somewhat prepared, he still gasped when he heard this. No matter how much he suspected before, he only thought that the captain was controlled by an evil spirit or that he was cooperating with the evil spirit to betray the other members of the security team.
"Brother Lin, are you serious? If you're really that sure, then we'll have to be extremely careful in the battles to come."
Lin Leyou said, "No matter what, now Liu Rongping is probably the only evil spirit left in the whole community. We don't know what will happen next, so we absolutely cannot kill this evil spirit now."
Xue Rui: "So what do we do now?"
Lin Leyou said, "Destroy the statue and throw it back outside."
Testing the captain?
Let's see how he reacts first.
Xue Rui hesitated for a moment, but readily nodded in agreement.
Lin Leyou then walked over and electrocuted Liu Rongping, who closed his eyes and passed out, but his limbs remained tightly wrapped around the statue.
Lin Leyou's lips twitched. He tore him off and threw him on the ground, then kicked him aside. "Annoying thing, I spared your life and you still don't know to get lost."
They then removed the head that they had just painstakingly attached to the statue, and the two of them carried the statue, huffing and puffing, to the gate.
The captain, who had been dozing off inside the gate, suddenly widened his eyes as if they were about to pop out when he saw them. The drowsiness on his face vanished instantly, and he slammed his hands on the table and stood up.
"What...what are you doing?!"
Such a strong reaction?
Lin Leyou naturally looked puzzled. "Captain, why are you so agitated?"
The captain paused for a moment, realizing he had indeed been too excited, but...
"What exactly is going on? This statue..."
Lin Leyou shook his head, looking somewhat dissatisfied. "This thing is useless."
The captain looked somewhat shocked. "Why didn't it work?"
It's as if they're saying you're talking nonsense.
At this point, they could basically confirm their guess.
Lin Leyou sighed, "It's been sitting there for so long, and it's been completely useless... I haven't seen any evil spirits, so I moved it here and threw it away again."
The captain's face was somewhat grim, with a hint of incomprehension mixed in. "Perhaps we haven't left it out long enough? Should we try leaving it out for a few more hours?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment and shook his head. "Forget it, this thing is an eyesore. Let's just throw it out. If other residents in the community see that the trash that was thrown into the trash can has been put back into the community, they might have something to say."
The captain wanted to say something more, but Lin Leyou and Xue Rui didn't listen to him at all. They quickly moved the things out and casually threw them into the garbage dump outside.
However, this time they dropped it in a different location than before. Previously, the statue was completely shrouded in mist and could not be seen from within the residential area. But now they dropped it on the other side, with half of it exposed outside the mist.
The captain's voice seemed to tremble as he spoke, "You guys are really efficient."
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, I still have to go on patrol. By the way, Xue Rui, you go home and rest first, and come over to relieve me at noon."
Xue Rui: "Okay, Brother Lin."
Without any hesitation, he turned and left.
Seeing Lin Leyou about to leave for patrol, the captain immediately called out to him, "Little Lin!"
Lin Leyou stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?"
Captain, "After the statue was placed, did you really not see any evil spirits appear?"
Lin Leyou remained silent for a while, and the captain's gaze was fixed on him, as if there was some danger.
