Chapter 46 [Seeking support and collection]
However, Xue Rui definitely wouldn't recognize himself, since his appearance has changed so much that even he wouldn't recognize him.
Lin Leyou said in a hoarse voice, "Come in, don't linger too long."
Zhou Feng: "Okay, okay, thank you."
He led his men slowly through the iron gate, while Lin Leyou remained motionless, sitting there as if he couldn't see them at all.
The eight men circled the room several times, but found nothing, nor any clues. In other words, they did not find the butcher's treasure.
"Where exactly is it?"
"I think it must be in that little house, that one."
"But that's obviously where the butcher sleeps, so they definitely won't let us in there."
"What should we do then? Come tonight?"
"The butcher sleeps inside at night, what's the point of coming here?"
"What about during the day? The butcher is awake during the day. Are we going to go in right in front of him?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
"I have no idea."
"Then why are you talking so much nonsense?"
"Isn't what you said just stating the obvious?"
Zhou Feng was annoyed by their constant arguing, but he didn't have a good solution right now, since the butcher was sitting and resting near that hut, and it was absolutely impossible to go in in front of him.
Should we ask him if we can go in?
That would be very impolite, since it's where he rests. Asking about it might trigger something bad, like being killed.
They argued back and forth, not knowing what to do. In the end, their attention fell on Zhou Feng, since he was the oldest among them and looked very serious and reliable.
"Uncle Feng, what do you think?"
Zhou Feng pondered, "It's certain that we can't ask questions casually. That rest room is different from this slaughterhouse; it's the butcher's private territory. If we ask questions casually, we could very well get killed."
Some people were so shocked that they swallowed hard on the spot, "Yeah...yes, that's true."
He was the one who agreed to ask or go in to check earlier. He hadn't thought much about it before, but after Zhou Feng said that, he realized it.
"Hey, Uncle Feng, this butcher is unarmed right now. Should we force our way in and take a look? If we can find that thing, we can just grab it and run. What do you think?"
As soon as she said this, everyone turned to look at her. She was one of the two newcomers named An Xiu. She looked like a weak girl and had been terrified before. No one expected her to say such a thing.
Zhou Feng, "Are you going?"
An Xiu was stunned for a moment, then shrank back, "I...I just said that..."
"Ha! So you were the one who gave the suggestion and sent others to their deaths. I thought you were going by yourself. I never expected that you, who were so delicate and pitiful before, would be so scheming at heart."
It was another woman in the team, Fang Hong.
When Anxiu heard what she said, she didn't refute it. She just shrank pitifully behind everyone, as if she had been bullied.
In the real world, many men would probably come to comfort her, but here, no one can guarantee their own safety, so they don't have the energy to care about others.
Lin Leyou's ears were numb from listening to their conversation at the entrance of the lounge. It was true... she could hear them very clearly!
He was so embarrassed.
However, one thing is certain: if they really barge into his lounge, he can indeed kill the player who barges in.
So are they going to break in?
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xue Rui standing behind Zhou Feng. To be honest, he had never seen such a young boss before. He was so soft and still had some baby fat on his face.
She looks completely different from how she appears as an adult. When was the first time I met Xue Rui in my past life? It was after I found a job when I met Xue Rui who came to inspect the construction site.
He remembered that he was only in his thirties at that time, still very young, but compared to Xue Rui, he was worlds apart.
As if sensing something, Xue Rui turned his head slightly to glance at Lin Leyou. Lin Leyou, however, was not afraid at all and kept his gaze fixed on them.
After noticing this, Xue Rui didn't realize that the butcher was looking at them, but rather at all of them. He whispered a reminder, "The butcher is looking at us."
The players who were still talking suddenly felt as if they had been grabbed by the throat, unable to utter a single word. They all cautiously glanced at the killer.
Under the gray sky, the butcher sitting in front of the rotting iron gate stared intently at them through his dirty bandages, his eyes seemingly soaked in dark red blood.
An Xiu stopped pretending at this point; she was genuinely trembling with fear. "I'll talk... I'll talk... Have we been here for too long?"
"Is there a time limit? If we exceed the time limit, can the butcher still kill us?"
Everyone was terrified. "Uncle Feng, why don't we go out first? There's no rush. Let's leave now and come back to check on things next time."
Zhou Feng agreed, "Let's go, let's go out first."
If we stay here now, something bad might happen.
After all eight of them had left, Lin Leyou sighed deeply in his heart. Really... am I that kind of person?
He won't attack anyone he allows in, as long as they don't attack him first.
Lin Leyou blinked in confusion. It was just a glance, why the big reaction? He went back to the lounge and looked in the mirror. His outfit was a bit scary.
But it hasn't gotten to that point, has it?
Players who had escaped the slaughterhouse were resting on the path, panting heavily.
Zhou Feng took a few deep breaths to calm his racing heart. "How is everyone?"
"It's alright, it's alright, the butcher didn't chase after us."
"Thank goodness, they didn't chase after us..."
"So what do we do next?"
"Back to the hotel?"
"It's almost noon now, how about we go have lunch first?"
"Agreed."
"We still need to be careful with our money. If we can't complete the mission for a long time, this money might not be enough."
"Let's go, let's go, I'm so scared, my hands and feet are still shaking."
Xue Rui followed behind everyone. He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he didn't sense any murderous intent from the butcher. Instead, he felt a sense of familiarity.
"Is it just my imagination?"
He muttered to himself.
Zhou Feng walked up to him. "What did you say?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "It's nothing."
Zhou Feng: "I haven't even asked you your name yet."
Xue Rui thought for a moment, then said, "Zheng Li."
Zhou Feng: "Okay... By the way, what are your thoughts on what's most valuable to a butcher?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "I don't know, but I have a feeling it's not something simple."
