Chapter 324 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou burst out laughing upon seeing the message. How could Xue Rui be so eloquent? Was the "dirty stuff" he was referring to the mud he had thrown on Niu Xiaohua earlier?
He suppressed his smile. "This mud is really dirty. You'd better not touch it in the future."
Xue Rui replied, "This is standard practice for someone in my position. I just really enjoy throwing mud at others. Fortunately, I haven't done anything more serious."
Lin Leyou said, "There's nothing we can do about that. If you change your habits, it will be easy for others to see through you. After all, participants in the dungeon also have a lot of memories given to them by the system."
Although participants need to constantly recall and search for these memories to find useful information, there's no other way around it, given how difficult this instance is.
Moreover, some memories cannot be found simply by searching for them; some memories can only be recalled by touching or seeing familiar things.
Lin Leyou arrived at the place where his parents' bodies were found. The place was very ordinary, with only a small stream, about five or six meters wide, filled with pebbles. He took off his shoes and walked into the stream. The water was only about halfway up his calves, and that was the deepest part.
The water was crystal clear and refreshingly cool. Lin Leyou walked around in the stream a few times and saw some small fish, but nothing else.
But then again, this is where the body was found, so the police must have searched the area thoroughly several times. If they couldn't find anything, they certainly couldn't find anything themselves.
He walked upstream along the direction of the water flow, hoping to find something, but unfortunately, he walked upstream for a long time without finding anything.
I checked the time and realized it was already past 3 p.m. It would probably take more than half an hour to walk home from here, so I thought I'd better hurry back. I don't think it's good to stay here any longer.
He didn't walk very fast, but slowly made his way back. There were mechanical spiders guarding the area, but no one else was nearby except for himself.
In other words, no one was lurking around planning to ambush him, but... just because there was no one nearby didn't mean no one was watching him from afar, so he still had to be careful.
When he arrived at the village, it was almost four o'clock. He was lucky enough to run into two people at the village entrance, people who looked very familiar: Niu Xiaohua and Luo Qingzhou.
Luo Qingzhou handed the item in her hand to Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou was taken aback for a moment, then leaned closer to see that it was an invitation. So, did she have to give money? A wedding gift! How much should she give?
Seeing his hesitation, Luo Qingzhou smiled and said, "Take it. As for whether you come or not, that's your decision. We are truly in love and hope to receive the blessings of the villagers."
Lin Leyou did not accept the invitation directly. Instead, she looked around to make sure no one was nearby before saying, "I've been very troubled lately. I just came back from the stream."
"I thought I might find something, but I didn't find anything. Can you tell me why?"
When Luo Qingzhou heard him say these words, he was stunned for a moment, and it took him a few seconds to realize what he meant.
Lin Leyou said that he came back from the stream where his parents' bodies were found, looking for clues but finding none, and asked if he knew anything.
Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words, and Lin Leyou's expression also turned somewhat disappointed. Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by him.
"Lin Leyou, would you like to come to our wedding? We are truly in love..."
Lin Leyou said, "I have something very important to do, so I probably won't have time to attend your wedding. I apologize in advance. Of course, if you're willing to give me some clues, maybe I can save some time."
Luo Qingzhou: "How did you know I would have any clues?"
Really?!
Lin Leyou's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, she showed no extra emotion, remaining as indifferent as before. "If you tell me, I'll attend your wedding and offer you my blessings for a lifetime of happiness, how about that?"
How about it? Of course it's great!
Luo Qingzhou seemed to really like Niu Xiaohua, a woman who looked more than ten years older than him.
They don't match in looks, assets, or age. I don't know how they got together. Is it really true love?
Luo Qingzhou seemed very happy and then agreed. "Actually, there really was someone interfering in this matter. At that time, Huang Bing's child was caught in a rainstorm and did not come back. The village chief organized people to go out and look for the child."
"Actually, your parents originally intended to go in another direction to look for their child, but they didn't expect to meet Huang Bing himself on the way. I still remember how despondent he looked at that time."
"I ran into your parents at the crossroads, so I talked to them for a bit, and then led them to the stream. He came back later, but your parents didn't come back with him. I was taking shelter from the rain in a nearby tree hollow..."
"I hadn't thought much of it at first, but then I found out your parents died by the stream, and I felt something was fishy, but..."
Lin Leyou nodded, "But you felt it was none of your business and didn't say anything. Besides, although you saw it, you didn't have any evidence to prove what you said. Even if you told the police, it wouldn't help. Because without evidence, and Huang Bing firmly denied it, there was nothing you could do. He would hold a grudge against you when he returned, and might even think about getting rid of you to prevent future troubles."
Luo Qingzhou looked at Lin Leyou with some surprise. "You're absolutely right. I had too many concerns, so I just pretended I didn't see anything. But since you asked me personally, I'll tell you. However... I won't tell anyone else. If you bring someone else to ask me, I will absolutely not admit it."
Lin Leyou nodded, "I understand, so you don't need to worry. I promise to go to your wedding and give you my blessings."
Luo Qingzhou and Niu Xiaohua were both very happy. So far, only Lin Leyou had accepted their invitation and promised to come back to wish them well.
God knows, they've sent out invitations to so many people, but some simply didn't accept them, some accepted them but didn't care, and some accepted them with a smile, but the mocking look in their eyes was truly heartbreaking.
Lin Leyou left with the invitation. He only opened it when he got home. He originally thought that getting married might take some time to prepare, but he never expected that the wedding would be the day after tomorrow!
And the wedding was held at Luo Qingzhou's house. By the way, where is Luo Qingzhou's house again?
I searched and searched, and found it here. In that case, I'll prepare to go the day after tomorrow. I'll find my best outfit first, so I can wear it on that day and at least not lose face.
Lin Leyou took a deep breath, took out her phone and continued chatting with Xue Rui, "I'm home."
He locked the door after opening it. Of course, there was no one else in the house. Before going home, he had the mechanical spider search the entire place to make sure it was safe.
Lin Leyou was preparing lunch for himself when Xue Rui sent him a message: "Brother Lin, I've found a way to get in, but if I act now, my parents might find out. What should I do?"
His meaning was clear: should they act now? If they acted now, they might be discovered, but if they didn't act, would they just leave the clues right in front of them untouched?
Lin Leyou: "Let's not talk about that for now. Didn't you say you were going to go find Jiang Xiaming? Did you find him?"
Upon seeing the message, Xue Rui sighed deeply, "I didn't find him. Maybe I just didn't recognize him. Oh well, we'll meet sooner or later anyway. He doesn't know we're in cahoots."
Lin Leyou: "You're right. The most important thing now is to find all sorts of clues. By the way, has your first mission been triggered?"
Xue Rui: "It was triggered. It was shortly after I found the partitioned room. At that time, I was wondering what was in this partitioned room."
Xue Rui had actually thought of all sorts of monsters that might be in this partitioned room, but he still couldn't be sure until the very last moment.
Lin Leyou said, "Since that's the case, you have no choice but to go into this partitioned room. I'll handle things on my side myself. You need to be careful on your side too, and remember to act like a stranger when you're outside."
Xue Rui: "No problem!"
Dungeons that require two people to team up and hone their skills are actually quite terrifying. Although having an extra helper seems trustworthy, ...
In such an environment, with such a dungeon environment, even teammates who initially trust each other will eventually fall apart.
Lin Leyou sighed inwardly more than once at the complexity of the S-level difficulty dungeon.
Finding the first mission was truly a good thing. Lin Leyou congratulated him again before saying, "If there is any danger, remember to contact me immediately."
Xue Rui: "No problem, Brother Lin!"
Lin Leyou put away her phone and then started preparing dinner for herself. She had eaten lunch at the village chief's place, so she wouldn't be able to get a free meal for dinner and would have to cook for herself.
While cooking, Lin Leyou's mind wandered. Could this Huang Bing be the one who killed his parents? He gasped. Was the process of completing this mission simply to make the players kill each other?
He thought about it for a long time and decided to go find Huang Bing to ask him when he went out later. No, he should go find Huang Bing first, hoping that he would be home.
But... to his utter surprise, just as he finished dinner and was about to head out to Huang Bing's house, he heard a deafening banging on his door.
Lin Leyou found it strange, so he went over to take a look, only to find that the people outside were police officers! What was going on?
He asked cautiously, "Who's outside?"
"Hello, we are from the town's public security bureau. Could you please open the door? We have some questions for you. Just answer truthfully."
