Chapter 300 [(*^▽^*)]
Thinking of this, Lin Leyou couldn't help but say, "It's not worth eating this just for a meal. Maybe it will be more useful in the future."
Xue Rui didn't seem to care. "It's nothing. I've drawn this five times in a row, so I have fifty. Giving Brother Lin two is fine."
Lin Leyou withdrew her earlier emotion and said, "How about we eat then?"
The two had a hearty meal and then realized they were perfectly fine, so they didn't need to take the medicine anymore. Lin Leyou was in a great mood. "Let's go for a walk to digest our food."
Xue Rui smiled and followed him out. "Okay, which way do we go?"
Lin Leyou casually pointed in a direction in front of the couple, "This way."
It was the opposite direction from Ah Rong's house, and the couple breathed a slight sigh of relief. But they quickly cleaned up their house and then went to keep an eye on things from the side.
Even if you go in the opposite direction, you might still end up back. That thing in Ah Rong's house that can't be removed really can't be discovered.
Little did they know, Lin Leyou and his group's target this time was not A Rong's dilapidated house at all, but the village chief's house.
They had only been out for a short while when they saw six players waiting at the fork in the road ahead.
"You guys are here early."
It's obviously ironic.
Lin Leyou laughed and said, "What? You're up to something big tonight? Did you come out without eating?"
They paused slightly, unsure of what to say. They had only learned during the day that these villagers might be colluding with the village chief to capture players, so how could they possibly eat anything?
"You're quite carefree. It'll be interesting if you die from the poison and fail to clear the game."
"Hey, remember to tell me before you die. Since you're going to die anyway, let me kill you. That way I can at least get some points as a reward, which is also beneficial to others."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui remained expressionless. "Let's talk about it later. Getting back to the main topic, how are your preparations going?"
"Of course we're ready. We can leave at any time. We've also arranged for things to be kept an eye on things at the village chief's house."
This thing is definitely not the same as a mechanical spider; it must be some other prop, such as simple surveillance equipment.
The footage the mechanical spiders brought back showed that they wouldn't officially begin the sacrificial ceremony until midnight. Going there now was a bit early, since it was only just getting dark, around 6 p.m., and there were still more than five hours to go.
"Should we go now or wait?"
Lin Leyou: "Isn't it a bit early to go now?"
"We can lie in wait around the village chief's house first, and then break in when the time is right."
Lin Leyou: "I have no objection."
Xue Rui: "I'll listen to Brother Lin."
And so, the eight of them quietly arrived outside the village chief's house and hid not far away, naturally avoiding other villagers.
They always made up all sorts of excuses when they left their residences; they were always out whenever they had time, and the villagers who took care of them had long been used to it.
Therefore, there was absolutely no doubt about it.
As for what bad things the village chief's family was up to today, how could ordinary villagers know? Even the couple living with Lin Leyou and Xue Rui had no idea.
They only knew that the village chief wanted to arrest these masters, but they had no idea what the specific time or purpose of it was.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were hiding in one place. They seemed to be observing the village chief's house, but in reality, they were using mechanical spiders to detect the situation inside in real time.
The underground space where the altar is located is now being prepared, filled with plenty of fine wine and food. Of course, the ten players kneeling around the altar are still in the same position as when they were unconscious.
There's no change at all. If I woke up now, I probably wouldn't even be able to feel my body.
It's estimated that the female ghost will appear around midnight. After all, it's obvious who this kind of sacrifice is for. The living don't need such things at all; only the dead... the female ghost needs them.
But they still couldn't figure out what the village chief was up to, and whether there would be any real benefits in doing this.
Lin Leyou was puzzled. He thought of the words carved on the ground again: "Two idiots... Village chief... Two criminals." It seemed like an insult, but in reality... there was a hidden sense of incongruity in it.
Suddenly Xue Rui said, "Brother Lin, it sounds like there's movement."
Lin Leyou subconsciously observed his ten mechanical spiders, but there was no movement! Could it be that Xue Rui's mechanical spiders had discovered something?
"What?"
Xue Rui gestured with his chin in one direction, "It's them."
He spoke very softly and dared not make any big movements, because if they realized that they had been alerted, they might take action beforehand.
Lin Leyou's face immediately turned very ugly. The commotion didn't come from the village chief's house, but from the people who had all agreed to break into the village chief's house with them to find the captured player.
So after all that discussion, the final decision wasn't aimed at the village chief's family, but at the two of them!
You can get points after killing them!
But they didn't even consider that there were only two people on this side, so how were the points to be divided?
Oh right, maybe they don't actually intend to let the players captured at the village chief's house go. They want to kill them first, then break in and kill the players or even NPCs inside. That way, even if they fail to clear the level, after deducting the penalty points, they can still gain a lot of points.
But... only Xue Rui is a player, Lin Leyou isn't. If he's really killed, but they don't get 200 points, they get 2000 points, plus a notification for killing a mole, wouldn't they be exposed?!
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui both grabbed their weapons immediately. Of course, Lin Leyou was ready to activate his talent, Ghost Wall, at any moment, to see who would be the boss.
He touched his mask, which he had been wearing since the beginning, except when he was resting or sleeping at his residence; it had become a habit.
Fortunately, his face wasn't exposed; otherwise, it would have been dangerous later.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin, what are you planning to do?"
Lin Leyou said, "They must have done something to this area before they met up with us. Fortunately, we chose this hiding place ourselves, so they probably couldn't have predicted it in advance."
Xue Rui, "Shall we leave here first?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's right. Leaving this place, although it's hard to guess, there aren't many places to hide around the village chief's house. If they prepare a few more props and set up a net-like setup, they'll be able to catch a few."
"We should get away now, go further away. Anyway, there are still more than five hours before the sacrificial ceremony begins. We are not the ones who should be anxious."
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay."
The two acted immediately, taking advantage of the fact that no players were paying attention to them, and quickly left the location, hiding under a distant ridge.
Although this place is easy to spot, the six of them definitely didn't set up any props here.
After all, this place wasn't meant for hiding people, and it was a bit far from the village chief's house, so even if the six of them had a lot of props, it would be limited.
Sure enough, after seeing them move, the six people seemed a little anxious, and soon one of them came over to persuade them.
"How did you get here? It's a bit far from the village chief's house. If something happens, we won't be able to get there in time."
Lin Leyou shook his head, "It's okay, we're not in a hurry. If there are any problems, you can go in first and we'll catch up later. If you find anything good, you can put it away first. We just want to focus on safety and get through the checkpoint."
The players who came to persuade them were a bit confused. These two, who seemed so powerful before, were actually the "survival kings" type?
What should he do if that's the case?
"So you really don't want to go in and get firsthand information? Or don't you want the good stuff inside? What about the quest items?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "It's alright. Since the quest says so, it means the number of quest items is at least half the number of players. I'll just look for them later."
"If you don't go over, and there are any changes to the operation, it's easy for others to see me running back and forth like this."
Xue Rui pointed to the sky and said, "It's already dark. There's no moon tonight, and even the stars are scarce. No one will see them."
"Why...why are you so stubborn? Shouldn't we be choosing the optimal solution right now?"
Lin Leyou: "What is the optimal solution? Is listening to you the optimal solution?"
His lips twitched, and he was speechless. He simply couldn't say that his side of the solution was the optimal one.
"Do whatever you want!"
The two sides parted on bad terms. He returned to the other side with a dark expression, leaving Lin Leyou and Xue Rui there as if they were no longer meant to see each other.
However, he returned in less than an hour, this time with a smile on his face and speaking softly, as if afraid of upsetting them.
"Some of us noticed that things seemed to be getting lively at the village chief's house. It looks like something is about to happen and they want us to gather there so we can rush in together."
Regardless of whether it was for a mission or not, the village chief's house did become lively, that much is true.
It's almost eight o'clock now, and the sacrificial ceremony will begin in a little over four hours. Thinking about it...
"There seems to be no movement now, you should go back first."
He focused his attention on the village chief's house with some skepticism, but he really didn't hear anything. What was going on?
Just a moment ago they were shouting as if they wanted the whole world to know, but now they're silent.
Since there was indeed no movement, it was not appropriate to say that they were going to take action. Without an excuse, the person returned to their original position and began to discuss the next plan with the other five players.
Xue Rui leaned close to his ear and whispered, "There seems to be something wrong inside."
Lin Leyou touched her ears somewhat awkwardly. "Really?"
