Chapter 333 [(*^▽^*)]
Luo Qingzhou paused for a moment before realizing, "Right, right, the '囍' character! We need to put up the '囍' character! I'll go prepare it right away!"
Lin Leyou: "What about the wedding attire? And the banquet, have you prepared everything?"
Luo Qingzhou was a little embarrassed. "We have prepared two wedding dresses, but as for the banquet... we don't know how many people will come, so we haven't made any preparations. We'll see how many people are coming tomorrow before we start preparing."
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's good... By the way!"
Luo Qingzhou, "What?"
Lin Leyou noticed that Luo Qingzhou had only peeked out from inside the door since earlier, and showed no intention of coming out.
This makes it seem rather strange to be idle; the posture is rather odd.
But he acted as if he hadn't seen them and continued to ask, "Didn't a lot of people come with us just now? Why didn't I see them? I came from the direction of the village, and I didn't see them go back either. What's going on?"
Luo Qingzhou: "Oh, Xue Rui's mother took a shortcut back after receiving the money. I don't know about the other villagers. Everyone dispersed, and I couldn't check on them all."
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Someone behind me told me about your wedding tomorrow. I asked him if he was coming to the wedding, and he said he was, but he didn't have an invitation. I told him to come and ask you for an invitation. Did you see him?"
Luo Qingzhou reacted even more strongly to these words than before, "You're coming to my and Xiaohua's wedding? To get an invitation?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Yeah, he has a friend who's supposed to come together tomorrow, but his friend didn't get an invitation... Hey, have you seen him?"
Luo Qingzhou seemed to only then realize, "Huh? I didn't see anyone else, and I didn't see anyone else after that."
Seeing all his expressions, yet still not moving an inch, Lin Leyou knew there must be something behind that door that he couldn't see.
Since that's the case, he's not the kind of person who's stubborn. He already summoned the mechanical spiders, and they're already at the wall.
"Since everything is alright, I'll head back now. You all prepare well for tomorrow's wedding, and I'll come over for the celebration tomorrow."
Luo Qingzhou nodded with a smile, her face and eyes full of joy, "Okay, okay, you must come tomorrow!"
After Lin Leyou turned and left, Luo Qingzhou stood at the door, peeking out to watch him walk away. She only breathed a sigh of relief after he turned the corner and disappeared from sight, then pulled her head back and closed the door.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the closed door, gently rested her head against it, and looked down. From this angle, she could see some bloodstains on her pants and shoes, as well as the torn hem of her pants that had been scratched by something.
Luo Qingzhou took a deep breath, turned around, and saw Niu Xiaohua lying in the yard.
Niu Xiaohua's eyes are now closed as if she is asleep, but if you look closely, you will find that Niu Xiaohua's chest is not rising and falling, she is dead, and there is a small pool of blood under her body.
Luo Qingzhou looked at Niu Xiaohua lying in the yard, feeling a headache coming on. "What should we do..."
At this moment, no one noticed a tiny mechanical spider watching the situation in the yard from the wall. Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it. It turned out that it was not related to Xue Rui, but to Niu Xiaohua.
He received a reply to his message to Xue Rui.
Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"
Lin Leyou said, "It's nothing. I just went to Luo Qingzhou's place and didn't see you."
Xue Rui said, "He came back as soon as he got the money, and left very quickly. The other villagers also dispersed."
Lin Leyou: "It's good that you're alright. By the way... I just saw that Niu Xiaohua died."
Xue Rui was stunned when he saw the message. "Dead? Niu Xiaohua?"
Lin Leyou narrowed his eyes. "That's right, it is indeed Niu Xiaohua. She's lying in Luo Qingzhou's yard right now. They're getting married tomorrow. I wonder what Luo Qingzhou plans to do."
Xue Rui said, "Let's wait and see. Since he's not canceling the wedding, he must have a way."
Lin Leyou: "Could this dungeon also have some supernatural elements?"
Xue Rui: "Who knows? Let's be prepared, just in case."
Lin Leyou: "Then I'll listen to you."
Xue Rui: "By the way, after I took her home, I went out again and wandered around outside. Sure enough, the police stopped me and asked me for information!"
Lin Leyou's heart skipped a beat. "What did you say?"
Xue Rui quickly sent a message, saying, "I stayed up all night playing on my phone and didn't sleep. When I went to the bathroom, I saw Jiang Xiaming walking by outside through the window, heading in the direction of Huang Bing's house."
Lin Leyou blinked. "That's right, we can't directly call him the murderer..."
Xue Rui: "Of course, after all, I didn't see it. I'll just tell them what I saw. Jiang Xiaming is already the police's prime suspect."
Lin Leyou smiled wryly, "I estimate I'll be ranked second."
Xue Rui: "It's alright, it's alright, we'll figure out another way."
Lin Leyou said, "I guess being arrested by the police and forced to leave the Jingu Village area, losing points until you commit suicide, is a way of eliminating someone. This method is even more vicious. Not only will you lose points for failing the mission, but you will also lose a lot of points for leaving Jingu Village, maybe more than five million!"
Xue Rui felt a pang of pain when he saw it; indeed... the points deducted were too severe.
Lin Leyou returned home. It was only morning. What should he do now?
Wait, how could I forget Zhao Changzhou? Didn't he say he was going to find Luo Qingzhou to get an invitation? Why didn't he go? Did something come up and he had to leave midway, and is he going again this afternoon?
Anyway, as long as we get the invitations today, there's no need to rush.
Wait a minute, he remembered that he had Zhao Changzhou's contact information on his phone. He exited the page where he was communicating with Xue Rui, opened the contact information, and sure enough, Zhao Changzhou's number was there.
You can't contact people outside the instance while inside it, but you can if you're both inside the instance. He can try now.
He sent a message to Zhao Changzhou.
Zhao Changzhou replied after about ten minutes, "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou: "I just went to look for Luo Qingzhou, and he said he didn't see you. I thought you had been murdered."
Zhao Changzhou: "No, no, I just have an emergency to deal with first, I'll go this afternoon."
Lin Leyou: "That's good."
He didn't want the person he had just acquired for exchanging information to be killed, especially since Zhao Changzhou's teammate, or rather, his own mission, was to help the police find the real culprit.
This can be seen as a way to clear his name. Hopefully, they will put in the effort. Once the police catch or confirm that Jiang Xiaming is the real culprit, his name will be cleared.
The second task should be coming soon, right?
I wonder if there's any progress on Xue Rui's second mission.
Just as Lin Leyou thought of this, he received a message from Xue Rui: "Brother Lin, I know who the baby lying in the small coffin looks like."
Lin Leyou paused slightly. "Who?"
Xue Rui replied after a while, "Me."
Lin Leyou: "What? You?"
Xue Rui: "It's not me, it's the current Xue Rui. At first, I thought he looked familiar but couldn't remember him. I just went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and realized that he looks a lot like me now."
Lin Leyou, "So the doll in the coffin is your double?"
Xue Rui: "No, I thought it was myself, but the task wasn't completed, so I said my older brother, but that still wasn't completed. Then I said my younger brother, and that was completed."
"The third task has arrived, which requires me to find out why there is such a partitioned area in my room, containing a coffin containing a doll that looks very similar to my younger brother."
Lin Leyou: "Then we'll definitely have to start with your current parents."
Xue Rui: "I know that, but it would probably be quite dangerous to investigate this. I don't know if my parents will suddenly turn into vengeful ghosts and take my life when I expose this secret."
Lin Leyou chuckled upon seeing this, "If that's the case, then run away quickly and come find me. I'll protect you."
Xue Rui: "That's great, I'll come to you if I'm in danger."
After returning home, Lin Leyou did not stay at home, but went out and walked around various places in the village. Of course, he did not stay near the villagers' houses, but walked around the surrounding fields and near the foot of the mountain, seemingly observing the terrain and the condition of the surrounding fields.
He acted as if he was about to do something big, and many villagers, upon seeing him, thought they might end up working for him in the future, so they spoke highly of him behind his back.
Lin Leyou was unaware of all this; he simply planned to stay here until the mission was over or the dungeon was cleared, and he wouldn't be coming back again.
However, his serious demeanor led the participants, who were unaware of his identity, to believe that he was just an ordinary NPC and they did not pay much attention to him.
After all, a true participant wouldn't waste time doing meaningless things like he did when there's no one else to be alone with.
Even with a month's time, they would have to race against the clock to complete the S-rank difficulty dungeon and have any chance of clearing it.
After all, not everyone has the confidence to have five million points.
Lin Leyou has done everything he could. Now, clearing his name is up to the police, Zhao Changzhou, or his teammates.
Of course, it's also possible that they first threw themselves out as cannon fodder, and then provided clues to the police after their own failure.
As Lin Leyou walked along the road at the foot of the mountain, the police in the village in the distance saw him and asked other villagers what Lin Leyou was doing.
The villagers all know that Lin Leyou plans to live in the village and contract some land to grow fruit, but he doesn't know whether to contract mountain land or farmland.
The police officer said, "I see. That shows great ambition. You've adjusted your mindset well; you're a good kid."
