Chapter 478 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou suddenly noticed something, "Xiao Rui, look, Xue Qian seems to be walking back. Besides him, there's another person with him, and there are two red dots approaching the river."
Xue Rui watched for a while, "These two should be the first people the Kowloon Gang sent. I didn't expect..."
Lin Leyou said, "I think I know why Xue Qian is here. He must have obtained some clues about the Kowloon Gang and used them to enter this instance."
Xue Rui said, "If he fails in this instance, he will definitely die."
Lin Leyou sighed, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that Xue Qian might have a tough life."
He had heard of Xue Qian in his previous life, and even when he died, Xue Qian was still alive, occasionally jumping out to cause trouble for Xue Rui, but Xue Rui always managed to thwart him.
Moreover, Xue Rui doesn't always deal with things head-on. Occasionally, he will find an opportunity to strike hard and give Xue Qian's side a bloodbath, of course, a bloodbath in the business world.
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "They're by the river. I wonder if they'll cross it. If they do, will the village chief and the others still be able to arrest them?"
They watched as the green dots that had been gathered in Xiushan Village appeared one after another, and then they moved quickly forward, searching for anyone who was alone in the vicinity. Whenever they encountered someone alone, they could usually deal with them within a minute and quickly bring the red dots to the thief's pit in the back mountain.
Of course, even if they encountered a tough opponent and couldn't beat them on their own, they would call on the surrounding villagers to gang up on them and take them down in two or three minutes. After they had eliminated everyone except Xue Qian and his companion, the village chief led the villagers to the cemetery.
Not only them, but even the icon of the ghost spider was nearby.
Besides the map, there was also Xue Rui's monitoring screen, which displayed ten images showing the situation at the cemetery, with the village chief watching the only intact tombstone.
"We need your help this time. You need to separate and trap them so that we can take action."
Lin Leyou and the others did not see a response, but the village chief nodded, "Okay, it's good that you know."
Sure enough, there was a ghost over there in the graveyard. They couldn't see it with the naked eye, and it couldn't be captured by surveillance cameras. But then again, they didn't feel anything before, but when all the villagers gathered together, it became very obvious. At first glance, all the villagers looked like rotting corpses, but their eyes were intact and bright, flashing with a red light in the dim forest. With so many of them, it was chilling to look at.
Just then, a villager grabbed the ball and shook it. "Little guy?"
Xue Rui wiggled the ball to indicate that they were watching.
"Hehe, I knew you guys were watching. Well then, watch closely, our strength is not to be underestimated..."
"Alright, come and get ready. Stop talking nonsense. The two kids are about to eat; they don't have time to chat with you."
"I was just saying, you're such a nosy tigress!"
"You bastard, you'll never get married in your life!"
The village chief sighed, but didn't stop them from bickering. He believed that such moderate bickering helped improve their relationship, and he supported it, after all... sometimes it was really too lonely.
The arrival of those two little ones did bring a bit more life to the village, and if possible, everyone really hoped they could stay in the village a little longer.
Lin Leyou looked at the red dots in the thief pit on the back mountain. "There were three before, then twenty-nine more were thrown in, so now there are thirty-two people in the pit. I wonder if throwing people into the pit will continuously deduct points."
Lin Leyou suddenly remembered the system he had forgotten about for a long time. Would he get an answer if he asked the system? Sometimes he would get an answer, sometimes he wouldn't, but there was no harm in asking.
He asked the system this question directly, and luckily, he got an answer.
"System notification: The soul of the person thrown into the thief pit in Xiushan Village has left their body and is trapped in a void, forever wandering there and unable to escape, unless killed by the villagers themselves. Every hour, 100,000 points will be deducted, turning into a wisp of resentment, which is the most important food for the villagers to survive in the world."
Lin Leyou knew that Xue Rui couldn't hear this answer, so he told Xue Rui.
Xue Rui paused slightly, "Really?"
Lin Leyou laughed and said, "It's true, the system wouldn't lie to me. In that case, should we try our best to capture Xue Qian alive and throw him into the thieves' pit? Then we can stay in this village for a few months?"
Xue Rui smiled, clearly in a good mood. "Since we can keep deducting points, it's certainly not bad."
Xue Qian was thrown into the pit for several months, losing tens of millions, nearly one hundred million points. Then, he failed the mission and lost another one hundred million points. Even Lin Leyou couldn't guarantee his survival, let alone this guy. They didn't believe Xue Qian could have so many points.
The village chief and his group overheard Lin Leyou's conversation and were secretly discussing who Xue Qian was.
Just as they were wondering, Lin Leyou started boiling water in the pot and added, "Xue Qian and the other two are staying by the river. They probably don't plan to cross the river to meet up with those people. Instead, they plan to wait for them to come. I wonder if the village chief and the others will go to the river."
The village chief and the others nodded. Oh! So it was by the river. One of those two people was Xue Qian, the enemy of these two children. In that case, how could they, as elders, turn a blind eye?
The village chief gestured towards the river, and soon four or five villagers came out. They were seen playing around as they walked towards the river, completely ignoring the two men.
Lin Leyou and his group naturally noticed this as well, because two monitoring balls were being carried towards the river, and soon they could even see the river in the distance.
The villagers were quick, and when they reached the riverbank, they indeed saw two figures. One of them did indeed look somewhat like Xue Qian, and that was certainly true.
Xue Qian whirled around to look behind him, but when he saw nothing there, he paused slightly. "How could this be? I clearly felt it..."
"What did you feel? I didn't feel anything."
Xue Qian squinted and looked around, but still couldn't find anything. Was it just his imagination? But things weren't as simple as he thought. "You really didn't feel anything?"
After asking the question, Xue Qian did not receive an answer. At this point, he realized something was wrong. How could someone not speak when they were standing next to him?
He didn't even dare to turn around, and asked again in a calm tone, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
At the same time, he found something in his palm. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly lunged into the river. The villagers who had been behind him, planning to scare him before grabbing him, were stunned.
"You're such a fool, you've been discovered!"
Although Xue Qian jumped into the river, as long as he didn't actually reach the other side, he was still within the area that the villagers of Xiushan Village could move around in, and he wasn't feeling well in the river either.
The water ghosts in the river were constantly trying to get close to him, screaming as they lunged at him, only to be blocked by something. But this did not stop their obsession with finding someone to replace them and stay there.
Xue Qian moved relatively slowly, and then stopped swimming forward. He looked up at the pitch-black ghost claw that was grabbing down from above, gritted his teeth, used an item, and disappeared into the river. The ghost claw above arrived a step too late and missed its target.
"Huh?" The villager floating above the river was taken aback. He blinked and then looked behind him.
"He disappeared? Where did he go?"
"I don't know...it just vanished into thin air."
"Oh ho, you've got some skills! You managed to get away..."
"So what do we do now? Was the one we just caught... or the one that got away?"
“I found out. The one who got caught wasn’t the one who ran away earlier.”
"Oh dear, what should we do?"
"It's alright, he'll come back anyway. Once he gets here, no one can escape the curse of Xiushan Village. We'll catch him then."
The one who was caught was thrown into a pit of thieves, while Xue Qian's location...
Lin Leyou looked at the map and said, "I don't know whether to say Xue Qian was lucky or unlucky."
He was lucky, actually, to escape from the villagers, and he even appeared on the other side of the river, landing right next to a large black ant nest.
He stood there blankly, completely soaked. The icy river water dripped onto the pile of rocks. Before Xue Qian could react, a swarm of black poisonous ants, like a black tide, surged out from the cracks in the rocks and surrounded him in less than two seconds.
Fortunately, they had already left the place where the ghosts were. Xue Qian used a prop to isolate the black poisonous ants, preventing them from getting close to him. Then he took out a flamethrower and sprayed it wildly at the black poisonous ants outside, burning a path before quickly moving out and finally running in the direction from which the Kowloon Gang members had come.
Lin Leyou sighed, "This Xue Qian is really lucky. I was right before."
Xue Rui stared at the red dot representing Xue Qian on the map without saying a word, but the murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable.
Lin Leyou patted his shoulder, "It's okay, he'll come back anyway. As long as he wants to complete the mission, he'll have to give up the mission and voluntarily lose 100 million points. I don't even know if he has that many points."
Xue Rui looked at his points; he didn't even have that many. "It's about time to eat."
Lin Leyou took a walk around the kitchen and found that everything was almost ready. The meat was cooked first and was now done. Next, they could use these vegetables to make a few vegetarian dishes and then they could eat.
