Chapter 257 [(*^▽^*)]
Not to mention the Wu brothers, Wu Feng and Wu Leng, even Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised. Was Xue Rui going to help his BOSS? What was going on?
Could it be...? Could it be...?
Lin Leyou had a somewhat immature idea in his mind, but he refused to think about it any further.
He maintained his boss-like demeanor and actions, charging towards the two somewhat stunned brothers. If they still had some leeway before, they were now in a panic.
After all, they now had one more person to be wary of. Xue Rui was pointing his pistol at them, then at Wu Feng, then at Wu Leng, making their emotions fluctuate wildly and making it very difficult for them to endure.
In particular, having to face a crazed BOSS head-on is something no human could do.
But Lin Leyou didn't care about that. As long as it was beneficial to him, that was fine. Now the two brothers couldn't take care of both sides, so Lin Leyou quickly seized the opportunity.
Just as he was about to plunge the knife into Wu Leng's chest, his body paused again, this time for an even shorter time than before.
But in just that short time, Wu Leng escaped once again. Of course, because the time was too short this time, the other party did not have a chance to attack him while escaping.
This time, Lin Leyou did not chase after them, but stood still and pondered what was going on with him.
It's certain that some player used an item; it definitely wasn't Wu Feng or Wu Leng, since they also seemed quite surprised. It's definitely not Xue Rui, since Xue Rui isn't pointing his gun at himself right now.
So that leaves only one person, the woman named Zhou Lin who's been hiding in the corner all along. Who would have thought…
If Xue Rui hadn't been on his side, those two pauses would probably have been enough for Xue Rui to blow his head off, or for the two brothers to team up and kill him.
Wow, that's amazing. You should never underestimate a woman's abilities. Lin Leyou has witnessed it firsthand this time.
So what exactly was the item used? How many times will this effect last? Could there be a third time? Or a fourth time?
If that's the case, wouldn't my subsequent actions be greatly hindered? Although the second pause was shorter than the first, but...
Lin Leyou could no longer take the risk. Wu Feng and Wu Leng were already mentally prepared. If there was a third time, no matter how short the time was, they would definitely use the best tools to kill him when their bodies were stiff.
Therefore, he now has to change his target to Zhou Lin first, kill this female player first, and then chase after the two brothers. This is the safest way.
He stood there with his head tilted, seemingly deep in thought. In everyone's view, Lin Leyou turned around. This time, he didn't chase after Wu Leng and Wu Feng, but instead turned to look at Xue Rui.
As if regaining his senses in that instant, he slowly walked step by step to Xue Rui, "Thank you for helping me, although I haven't gotten rid of the unclean things yet..."
Xue Rui felt a little uneasy. He himself didn't know if he had really helped the right person. Was the BOSS in front of him really Lin Leyou?
If not... wait? If not, it doesn't seem like such a big deal?
After all, Wu Leng had already smashed the piano, and there was nothing inside. That was enough for him. He would never do anything to anger the BOSS again.
Once he solves the puzzle and finds the quest item, he can leave, since he has received the BOSS's promise.
"You are welcome."
Wu Feng and Wu Leng didn't dare to speak loudly at all; they could only glare at him angrily, as if they were about to come and deal with him at any moment.
However, Xue Rui seemed not to see them at all and completely ignored them, which made them even angrier. Although he did not fire a shot, their rescue was definitely not due to Xue Rui's help.
Wu Leng finally couldn't hold back and cursed at him, "What exactly do you want? You little trash, you're really something. You think you can just suck up to the BOSS and he'll let you go?"
Xue Rui ignored his shouts and instead looked at Lin Leyou, continuing to observe him. After realizing that the other party might be Lin Leyou, he actually noticed many familiar details.
The more he looked, the more convinced he became that this person was exactly the one he had been thinking of.
So much so that they missed Wu Feng and Wu Leng's ugly and gloomy faces once again. Now they are already planning how to kill both the BOSS and this hateful Xue Rui!
After finishing his conversation with Xue Rui, Lin Leyou turned around again, but this time not to find Wu Feng and the others, but to the location where Zhou Lin was hiding.
His fingers lightly gripped his dagger as he slowly moved toward where Zhou Lin was hiding.
"Ah... the time for hide-and-seek is over, you can't hide anymore, come out quickly."
Zhou Lin didn't react at all, as if she hadn't heard him.
Lin Leyou wasn't annoyed; she figured she could just let things pass. "If you don't come out, how about I come find you?"
Zhou Lin suddenly asked, "If you find me, then does that mean it's my turn to find you?"
Lin Leyou thought Zhou Lin wouldn't respond and would join forces with Wu Feng and the others to deal with him once he got closer, but he didn't expect her to say something like that.
So how should I put it?
Lin Leyou tilted her head and looked at Zhou Lin, who was sitting on the ground leaning against the wall and looking up at her. "You said you want to play hide-and-seek with me?"
Zhou Lin suddenly smiled, exuding a captivating charm. "Is that alright?"
Lin Leyou was surprised. This female player was the boss of the seduction dungeon? She was really something...
But Lin Leyou wasn't buying it.
"I feel like it might be possible, but it also seems like it might not be. How about... I get to know you better first?"
He continued walking forward, and at this point, the distance between them was less than five meters. Lin Leyou only needed to take a few more steps to reach Zhou Lin.
But for some reason, Lin Leyou subconsciously stopped when he was three meters away from Zhou Lin. He looked around carefully but found nothing.
Only Zhou Lin remained calm, leaning against the wall and watching him, a faint smile even playing on her lips. Was she simply waiting for him to... seek his own death?
Lin Leyou stood there without moving, quietly watching Zhou Lin. He wasn't in a hurry, but Zhou Lin was.
Zhou Lin didn't show it on her face, but she was indeed a little anxious inside. This BOSS was really smart, and if she wasn't careful, she might be killed in the next second.
Lin Leyou stood there without moving, entirely because of the subtle sense of crisis brought about by the BOSS's identity.
Is it that we can't go any further, or that we can't make a move against Zhou Lin?
Which one is it?
Lin Leyou tilted her head and looked at Zhou Lin, "Did you put something on me?"
He finally realized something. If Zhou Lin used a disposable prop, it would be impossible for her to pause twice in a row. If she used the same prop twice in a row, how could he not have noticed?
Even Xue Rui didn't see it.
Then there's only one possibility: Zhou Lin somehow managed to put some unknown prop on him and hide it somewhere.
He couldn't feel anything wrong with himself at all. Of course, he was just guessing and not very sure. Little did he know that when he asked, Lin Leyou noticed that Zhou Lin's expression had changed.
Although she quickly recovered, Lin Leyou, who had been watching her closely, still noticed. Very well, it really was true; she really had some kind of prop on her.
So this prop is really powerful!
She's really amazing; she can influence him more than once.
The second pause was already very short, so the item's energy should be almost depleted. There might be a third time, but a fourth time is probably out of the question.
Since that's the case, then he should continue chasing Wu Feng and the others. Zhou Lin definitely has more tricks up her sleeve.
When he got close enough, the sense of crisis he subconsciously sensed was definitely not something simple; it might have been something that could kill him.
In order to ensure the success of the mission, Lin Leyou decided to temporarily back down, let Zhou Lin go, and at the same time, let himself go.
Lin Leyou walked to the middle of the music room again, to the smashed piano, stood there blankly for a while, then walked to the other three pianos, sat down and tried them out, and the countdown appeared again as expected.
He tried two other aircraft, and they worked too!
That's right. The task is to work twelve hours a day, but it doesn't say you have to sit in front of the piano in the middle of the music room. You can sit here too!
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief; that was good.
He looked at Xue Rui, "My favorite piano is gone, will you help me?"
Xue Rui's lips twitched. He didn't really want to refuse, so he could agree, he absolutely had to agree!
And so, to the astonishment of Wu Feng, Wu Leng, and even Zhou Lin, Xue Rui nodded in agreement, "I'll help you."
Lin Leyou was a little surprised, but still nodded with a smile, "You're really too kind. You're worthy of being the person I've chosen. In that case, come and help me. They've really committed heinous crimes. They actually smashed my piano!"
Seeing his excited yet pitiful expression, Xue Rui suddenly felt motivated. "Okay!"
Wu Feng stared at him in disbelief. "Hey! Are you out of your mind? You're really helping the BOSS fight us?"
Wu Leng: "Did you forget your brain when you went out? There are plenty of us now, we'll be fine if we go together. But if you help him kill us, and you're the only one left, you'll definitely die too!"
Xue Rui: "I think we can trust them."
Wu Feng and Wu Leng were both speechless after Xue Rui's words. In short, the most important thing now was how to get out of here!
That's right, they definitely have no way to get out of here unless some players come in from outside to help them, otherwise there's absolutely no hope.
