Chapter 370 [(*^▽^*)]
With those eyes, filled with messy, dark red blood vessels, staring right in front of them, what other explanation could there be?
"ah--"
On a cement road near a large expanse of farmland in the suburbs, a piercing scream suddenly rang out. Two cars, one in front of the other, drove into the farmland beside the road and were unable to move.
Meanwhile, police sirens could be heard in the distance, indicating that someone had called the police, though it was unclear whether it was Xue Rui or a passerby who noticed the situation.
In short, it was time for him to leave. There were only ten minutes left. His black figure, enveloped in black mist, disappeared into the vast night, and his blood-red eyes gradually faded away.
With less than ten minutes remaining and the potion he had taken giving him some time, he took out his weapon, reconfirmed the elite monster's location, and flew directly there!
Although it can only fly close to the ground, this speed is much faster than simply running. The red dot is not far ahead. It probably ran halfway and didn't notice its own figure, so it found another hidden place to hide. This elite monster really doesn't learn its lesson.
He saw the burning vehicle in the distance. Xue Rui was nearby. He had already tied up the unconscious person. Lin Leyou saw that he was not in danger, so he left with peace of mind.
Following **'s instructions, he arrived at a dark pond, another place with water, and this time the red dot was located in the very center of the pond.
It seems they've learned from past mistakes; when they're close to the shore, their reaction time to an attack is slower, but this isn't the case when they're in the middle of the pond.
He's in the middle of the pond. If you want to attack him, you have to get to the middle of the pond first. That way, he'll notice you, and you'll have time to react and defend yourself.
In the past, Lin Leyou would have been discovered, but now... there's still some time. The effect of the mirror has just worn off, and this short time is just right for him to use it.
Not to mention, now he also has the Song camp's setting of immense strength, plus his own passive skill, and the cursed dagger. With these three skills stacked up, he can probably take four or five hits with this dagger like his former self.
This monster has already been hit twice by me, so if it gets hit again, it shouldn't matter.
A fleeting dark shadow appeared near the pond. This elite monster was completely hidden in the pond, even its two tentacles were concealed in the water, so it would definitely not be able to find itself in a short time.
Lin Leyou didn't like to dawdle either. A cloud of black mist appeared swiftly in the center of the pond, as if it had appeared suddenly in the blink of an eye.
By the time the elite monster hiding in the water realized something was wrong, the gleaming blade tip had already pierced its eye.
The monster's shrill screams were blocked and absorbed by the water in the pond, and did not travel far. Lin Leyou immediately withdrew his dagger, then quietly floated away and landed on the edge of the pond. He just watched as the monster rolled and writhed in the pond, as if it was in extreme pain.
"System, is he dying?"
"System notification: Fatal blow achieved. Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for completing the timed mission and earning 1 million points, 10KG of gold, and gold-tier equipment. All items have been sent to your inventory. Please check."
"System notification: Recycle the Devil Mask."
Lin Leyou nodded repeatedly, but he was a little surprised when he heard that the Demon Mask had been retrieved. Then he realized that the ten minutes of the Black Mirror's timeout had expired and the Demon Mask had been retrieved.
The real him appeared by the pond. He stared blankly at the dark fields around him. Should he be glad that this place was far away from where Xue Rui had the accident?
Lin Leyou looked at the pond, which had returned to calm. The monster that was in it just moments ago had disappeared; its corpse should have been recycled by the system.
Wait, can this gold-tier item be used in the real world? This was a reward he received while doing a mission in the real world, so he shouldn't need to hand over points of equal value to the item, right?
He tried to take it out of his backpack and succeeded. Being able to take it out meant that it could be used in the real world. Looking at the ** in his hand, Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. This was really good.
"**: Enter the other person's name or title, imagine what they look like in your mind, and you can locate them. The closer the distance, the more accurate the location! There are no restrictions on the objects that can be located."
Lin Leyou muttered the last sentence, "Unrestricted partners... does that mean anyone, alive or dead, is acceptable?"
He tried typing in a description of an artifact from the Capital Museum and then imagined what it looked like. As a result, a red dot appeared on the screen, displaying a map of the country with a huge red dot covering half of the capital.
This is probably because the distance is too far, so only a general location has been marked. The exact location will be clearer once I get to the capital.
"It really can locate objects..."
He canceled the location tracking, put the items back into his backpack, and planned to locate Zhou Nanyue's position when he got back. This person was always a threat as long as he stayed outside.
Zhou Nanyue is a gambler and greedy man. After experiencing so many game instances, he will definitely become ruthless. If he were to hide in a poor and remote mountain village, who knows how many innocent people would fall victim to his cruelty.
He looked around and slowly walked to the nearest cement road, retrieving the mechanical spiders he had released earlier as he went.
After collecting all the spiders, he slowly walked back to the area closer to the city center along the cement road, pretending to play on his phone as he walked.
That way, even if you meet other people on the street, they won't doubt you.
He walked for more than an hour before reaching a small market with a relatively large number of people. There, he found a taxi, got in, and told the driver the name of the residential area where he lived, saying, "Just drop me off at the entrance of the residential area."
"Okay!" The taxi driver was originally planning to go elsewhere to see if there were any passengers, but he didn't expect that as soon as the previous passenger got out of the car, another one would come!
Xue Rui looked at Guo Xia in front of him, "Officer Guo, that's how it is. These people's identities are different from mine, but..."
Guo Xia said, "I know. I just checked their identities. But they are a criminal gang, so they should be dealt with severely. The country is cracking down on these things now, and they will definitely lose their lives."
Xue Rui, "The one who helped me before..."
Guo Xia said, "It's not necessarily to help you, but since the other party even injured someone, they're probably a relatively law-abiding player. Let's go, let's leave first. Although you had your reasons for what happened a few days ago, you still need to write a self-criticism for using the item. But as long as you're okay, I promise that if we're quick, we can go home today."
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay, I understand..."
They left the scene quickly. In addition to writing a report at the Special Cases Management Bureau, Xue Rui also had to go to the police station to give a statement. By the time he got home, it was already past 1 a.m.
Upon returning to the old house, Xue Rui learned something: while he was being attacked, the old house was also attacked!
After all, he had just approached when he saw the police cars parked at the gate and in the yard. "What's going on?"
It was past one in the morning, and Grandpa Xue was still sitting in the living room, not asleep. "Grandpa? What happened? Are you alright?"
Grandpa Xue relaxed when he saw him. "It's alright, Grandpa is alright."
Xue Rui looked at the police officers around him. "Grandpa, it's so late. You should go to sleep first. Leave the rest to me."
Old Master Xue thought for a moment and then nodded, "Alright, I'll go upstairs first. As for the old house... everything that needs to be said has been said. You should get some rest too."
They all tacitly refrained from asking any unnecessary questions. After escorting him back to his room, Xue Rui went downstairs to the living room and asked the housekeeper, "What exactly happened?"
“Young Master, the thing is, around 11 p.m., a car suddenly appeared near the old house, and a lot of people got out of the car, intending to force their way in. But as you know, the old master had left many bodyguards in their regular clothes at the old house just in case.”
"Although the other side had more people this time, they didn't seem very professional, and they didn't seem to be fighting hard. After seeing that we were prepared, they all retreated. Several of our bodyguards had minor injuries and have been sent to the hospital, but the rest of us are fine."
Xue Rui was relieved. "Do you know who sent them?"
The butler shook his head. "It's not clear yet, but..."
Xue Rui sneered, "Who else could it be? Anyone with half a brain can figure it out—it's them! Keep an eye on Grandpa. If they come back, unless Grandpa says they can come in, keep them out!"
The butler, of course, knew the gravity of the matter. He had worked for the Xue family for decades and was quite old. Now he was wholeheartedly devoted to Old Master Xue and only listened to his words.
"Don't worry, young master, I will do as you say."
Xue Rui breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, let those who are alright go back and rest."
"Yes, young master."
After asking the police officers who were still collecting evidence some questions, Xue Rui returned to his room. It was already very late, and he had a lot to do tomorrow.
Although he was furious, this wasn't an endless world, and he couldn't solve the problem with killing and brute force. Getting some sleep and resting was the most important thing. As for who that black mist was...
He didn't know, but he had a special feeling in his heart, "Forget it, let Officer Guo and the others investigate this matter. It's not something I can interfere with."
After returning to his residence, Lin Leyou took a shower, feeling exhausted. He lay on the bed, took out his phone, lazily typed in Zhou Nanyue's name, and then imagined what Zhou Nanyue looked like.
