Chapter 49 [Seeking support and collection]
He will probably never forget this scene: the butcher with bandages wrapped around his face, his dark red eyes in the darkness, and the smile that seemed to stretch all the way to his earlobes...
The very last thing was the falling dagger and the message heard in the last second before losing consciousness.
"Congratulations to the player for discovering the Butcher's most valuable possession - the Butcher's knife."
Ah, so that's what it is.
Unfortunately, he could no longer tell anyone about his discovery, and he was killed by the butcher. Will he survive this time?
Lin Leyou stared speechlessly at the player's corpse lying on the ground. He had clearly slashed down from above, but unexpectedly, a horizontal wound automatically appeared on the player's neck, and then the head rolled off and finally stopped at his feet.
On the other side is the player's headless corpse.
Lin Leyou suddenly felt himself become incredibly violent. He deftly stuck the knife in his hand into the wooden board next to him and then let go.
The symptoms of the rage subsided quickly, but it will take a while for him to return to normal.
It turns out that after killing someone, one's emotions instantly become violent and one's rationality quickly collapses. It seems that there is a kill cooldown for this identity, and I need to be more careful in the future.
A player died, and they watched helplessly as his head was severed from his body. Some players with weaker mental fortitude immediately got up and ran towards the dog hole, screaming.
Zhou Feng quickly lowered his voice and shouted, "Hey, don't run around!"
But it was too late. The butcher had already noticed, and he subtly turned his head toward the player who had just run away. Zhou Feng knew it was too late.
He hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and leave! Stop looking and get out of here!!"
But for some reason, the person who went to the lounge to look for something didn't react at all; they didn't move or make a sound. So this is...
Zhou Feng turned to look at the butcher and saw that the butcher was slowly reaching his hand toward the sharp knife that had been stuck in the wooden board. He could almost see the blood of the player still lingering on the knife.
Fresh blood slowly slid down the blade of the dagger and gently fell to the ground.
"Uncle Feng, run! It's too late!"
Lin Leyou didn't rush to chase after them. If he chased after them and killed a player now, he would go berserk again and stand still with his knife out of his hand.
If the player in the lounge happens to come out and see this, wouldn't their weakness be discovered?
So, he plans to let these players go and kill the players in the rest room later, which would be perfect.
However, we still have to put on a show.
He took the dagger and headed towards the dog hole they had escaped through. He wasn't walking very fast. Just as Zhou Feng and the others had all gone out, Lin Leyou was standing near the dog hole.
From Zhou Feng's perspective, the last player to emerge was just a hair's breadth away from being killed by the killer!
"Waaah... Why are they so quiet in the lounge? Are they dead? Is it okay to just go into the lounge?"
"The butcher didn't chase after us, so it seems we can't just leave this slaughterhouse."
"He's dead, he's dead..." The man was terrified.
Zhou Feng covered his left chest with his hand. He looked calm on the surface, but only he knew that his heart was pounding wildly inside his chest, and he even felt like he was suffocating.
There were seven people when they arrived, but only four have come out now. One was killed just now, and there are two others in the rest room. I don't know if they are dead yet.
Zhou Feng peeked through the dog hole and saw that the butcher was still nearby, probably not back in the break room yet.
Meanwhile, Lin Leyou was checking his panel, looking happily at the points and funds he had gained.
Name: Lin Leyou
Identity: A low-level resident of the endless world
Money: 122,000
Points: 20
Talent: None
More than 120,000!
Lin Leyou stroked his chin, thinking, "This is making way too much money!"
If I put in the effort, I might be able to save enough money to buy a house by completing this task.
However, at this point in time, 100,000 yuan seems to be enough to buy a house... Of course, it's definitely not enough to buy one in the provincial capital. Oh well, I'll think about it after this job is over.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him, turned around, and his gaze met that of the two players who came out of the lounge.
The two players probably didn't expect that the killer would see them so easily. Although they weren't very close, there was nothing in between them to block their view, so he could see them at a glance.
"Run!"
"Where do you think you're going?!"
As a result, the two of them ran around like headless flies, one in one direction and the other in the other, and that's how they separated, and...
Lin Leyou watched as one of them opened the iron gate and ran out, while the other plunged headfirst into the depths of the slaughterhouse, stepping on the head of the first player he had killed. Tragically, the player's head hit the ground with a thud, and he was knocked unconscious.
He didn't even let out a scream before he fainted.
Lin Leyou walked over speechlessly and saw the player lying peacefully on the ground with his eyes closed. How stupid, so stupid... Should he give him another chance?
Forget it, why not take the benefits that are offered to me? Wouldn't that make me look like a fool?
As for whether this player will die because of himself?
That's not important. Since he's an NPC in the Endless World, this instance where his job is to kill players will definitely not be the first, nor the last.
He has to get used to it.
As the dagger fell, he gained points and funds.
Lin Leyou ignored the two corpses and let them lie scattered around, since he was sleeping in the lounge, not here.
Today's work went quite well. He stretched and returned to the break room. This time, he didn't need to sleep with the door open anymore. However, he hadn't finished his work yet, and putting on makeup was too much trouble. He didn't plan to take a shower and go to sleep, but instead continued to lie on the floor to sleep.
Anyway, I've slept under bridges and on main roads in my past life, and I've encountered all sorts of conditions, so this little thing is nothing.
He can still sleep very comfortably lying on the hard ground.
Zhou Feng and his group reunited with the players who escaped through the iron gate, and then...
"We searched the entire lounge, but there was nothing there, not even a clue."
Zhou Feng covered his forehead. "That means two players died, but..."
Not only did they fail to find what they were looking for, they didn't even find a single clue. It was all for nothing! Two players died in vain!
"That guy was so stupid. I told him to run, but instead of following me, he rushed into the slaughterhouse. The iron gate was right there. He was incredibly stupid."
