Chapter 175 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou continued, "Just as I got on the bus and before I even closed the door, just as I was about to close it, I suddenly heard an unusual sound. I turned around and saw a grenade on the seat next to me. I didn't even have time to look at the driver before I kicked the door open and ran out. As for the driver, I don't know what happened to him; I didn't even look at him."
"The car exploded shortly after I ran out. I didn't see the driver after that. People gathered around, but we couldn't find the driver. We don't know where he went."
Guo Xia, "Do you remember what a hand grenade looks like?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment. Of course he remembered. He had obtained almost the exact same grenade in the Endless World before. It was a white-grade item, costing 10 points each.
kindness?
White-packaged grenades?
He gave Guo Xia a brief description of what the white grenade looked like, and Guo Xia and Song Huainan exchanged a glance.
Lin Leyou was somewhat uncertain. Could this really be a white-grade grenade brought from the game world? So fast?!
So quickly, players have already brought items from Endless World into the real world and started using them?
And I actually encountered it so quickly?
Lin Leyou suddenly thought of something he had overlooked for a long time: were the weapons in the Endless World the same as those in the real world?
Are there still differences?
If there is a difference, is it significant?
Guo Xia: "Mr. Lin, can you tell me who you've offended?"
Lin Leyou thought about it. It was impossible for the people from his hometown to know that he was in the provincial capital, H City. The only people he had offended were those who were with Zhou Nanyue.
"I've only been in H City for a few months, and I've always kept to myself. I recently bought a new house, which is currently being renovated. The only people I've had a falling out with are Zhou Nanyue and his cronies."
"Zhou Nanyue was released after having two fingers chopped off because her family couldn't raise enough money to pay off a debt she owed to the casino."
"When I passed by, he saw my earring and demanded money from me. After I refused, he brought his cronies to my house to break in and steal."
"I don't know what happened, but two of the three people got into a fight and started stabbing each other in my place. You all know what happened after that. Could it be that the people from that mobile casino that Zhou Nanyue frequents have a problem with me?"
"After all, Zhou Nanyue and his friends are said to be regulars there."
To use this white grenade in the real world, the total cost is 20 points, which is equivalent to 200,000 in real world money. Who is this big shot who is willing to spend points on someone as insignificant as himself?
Are players this powerful now? The Endless World game has only been open for a short time, and some players have already accumulated enough points to squander at will?
Guo Xia, Song Huainan, and Lin Leyou chatted about some ordinary things for about half an hour before ending the conversation. They even thoughtfully escorted him home and exchanged phone numbers.
At the entrance of the residential compound, Guo Xia solemnly instructed Lin Leyou, "Mr. Lin, if you encounter something like this again, remember to call us immediately, okay?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "I understand, don't worry."
As their car drove away, Lin Leyou's relaxed expression faded, and he slowly walked back. On his way back, he tossed a small spider into the bushes, and the spider then traveled back to his rented house at a speed several times faster than he could walk.
They searched the house inside and out, but found nothing.
They probably thought he would be killed by a grenade, so they didn't come to the residence to set up anything, but that might change after a while.
He returned to his room, lay on his bed, and stared at the ceiling, genuinely surprised.
First, there's the matter of him being attacked. When Zhou Nanyue was taken away after the trial, what was that expression she gave him? Was she laughing at him for being about to be blown up?
Guo Xia and Song Huainan, these two criminal police officers, don't seem to be ordinary police officers either. If I'm not mistaken, they should be players, or at least one of them is a player, or they know the secrets of players and the Endless World.
"Phew... Why am I so unlucky?"
I was thinking how lucky I was to have obtained the Golden Sun item, but I never expected to be so unlucky after returning to the real world and encountering such complicated things. I'll definitely have to spend 100,000 points to force myself to wake up frequently in the future.
No, this rented house isn't safe enough anymore. He needs a place where he'll be absolutely safe while he's in the Endless World.
A basement? Dig your own basement?
However, this house is on a high floor and there is no possibility of a basement. Even if we wanted a basement, we would have to wait until we moved into that villa.
The villa is still under renovation, and it won't be ready to move in for at least a few months.
Lin Leyou recharged his little spider with several hundred more points, and had it monitor the surroundings to see if any suspicious people were around.
A whole night passed without any movement.
Lin Leyou's face was grim. Was there really no way to find the culprit? Was it related to the people at that mobile casino?
Would a gambler like Zhou Nanyue, who went bankrupt and had his fingers chopped off, really be able to get a relatively skilled player who could pull out a hand grenade to deal with him?
Lin Leyou stood near the balcony and looked out. The scenery here was incomparable to the view from the apartment in the Endless World Happiness Community.
But that's not what he's concerned about now; what he's worried about is his own safety.
He couldn't go to the Endless World in peace until this matter was resolved, so he couldn't wait for police officers Guo Xia and Song Huainan; he had to go out and look for clues himself.
One mechanical spider was still a bit too few, so Lin Leyou gave the system another 300,000 points and brought out a second mechanical spider to use in the real world.
Two mechanical spiders, each worth 500 points, which is quite a lot, but compared to having to pay 100,000 points for each forced awakening in the future, it's still worth it if we can solve this troublesome problem.
Lin Leyou first released his mechanical spider, which not only observed around the house, but also searched every place where his house could be seen.
Sure enough, after this thorough search, the mechanical spider actually found several suspicious people in the apartment building in front of his building.
Lin Leyou hadn't suspected them at first, but when the mechanical spider passed near their house balcony, he overheard their conversation through it.
"When are we finally going to get to this point? I'm itching to get back to work!"
"Isn't it because you, you piece of trash, failed to kill him with your bomb before, so you have to do it again?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. Who knew he could open the door and run away? I even had to destroy the surrounding surveillance cameras before I could do anything, otherwise I'd be wanted by the police now. Thank you, brother!"
"Don't thank me. If you fail again this time, you can leave our team."
"Don't worry, big brother, this time I'll definitely succeed. I have good brothers to help me. If I fail again, then I'm really hopeless. It's okay if you give up on me."
"You said it yourself."
"I said it!"
"Those two policemen talked to this guy earlier, but I don't know if they recognized the bomb's unusual nature. There's probably someone else watching him in the shadows right now, so don't make any rash moves for the time being..."
He realized halfway through his sentence that their status was different now than before, so what if someone was watching them?
They can still kill this person without anyone noticing. He escaped from the car before only because he was lucky. This time, with their perfect plan, they are absolutely certain to succeed.
"By the way, big brother, how much money will we get after this mission is completed?"
"It'll need at least a million!"
"The boss who hired us gave us 800,000, and we'll split it among ourselves."
"What?! 800,000? The grenades we threw earlier cost 20 points each, which is 200,000. We'll need to use some more items later, and if they cost more than 60 points, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage? It's much more cost-effective to exchange points for money directly!"
The eldest brother gave him a look of exasperation. "He deposited it directly into our cards! If it were points redemption, it would be cash, you understand?"
He blinked, still somewhat confused. Cash is money, and money deposited into a card is money too. What's the difference?
Another person who had been silent couldn't hold back any longer and leaned close to his ear, saying, "Money that other people transfer to us can be spent freely, we can swipe our cards. But if we receive cash, that cash is all black money from unknown sources. If we get caught, and we can't explain the source of the money, do you think we might get arrested and locked up?"
He then realized, "Right, right! Look at my brain, I can't even think of something this simple. So when do we make our move?"
“He went back into the house earlier and hasn’t come out since.”
Lin Leyou did not come out. He was lying in bed watching these people loudly discussing how to kill him, and he found it somewhat amusing.
So what should he do now?
The killings in the Endless World all take place within the instance. Although it is possible that players will actually lose points and die, that is the rule of the game, and they will not feel any guilt.
But this is the real world, the world I live in. In my previous life, I was always mediocre and had never witnessed anything like this.
Having never committed any crime before, am I now about to take action in the real world?
He took out his phone and looked through Guo Xia and Song Huainan's numbers. Should he contact them?
If I really need to contact them, what should I say? What reason should I use to cover up how I discovered these people wanted to kill me?
Tell the truth?
no!
