Chapter 579 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou frowned slightly; the smell of blood...
He gave Xue Rui a look, and Xue Rui nodded, "Never mind, we didn't lose anything. If anything else happens, remember to let us know in advance."
The security guard breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, don't worry, guest..."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Rui began to lead Lin Leyou to inspect the entire house, and even opened the door and went outside to inspect the outside of the wooden house and some nearby areas.
They all breathed a sigh of relief after they finished their inspections and returned inside.
Xue Rui: "It's nothing."
Lin Leyou sighed and lay down on the newly added sofa. "Since there's nothing else, let's rest. This sofa is quite comfortable. Come over here too."
Xue Rui walked over and lay down casually in Lin Leyou's arms. Lin Leyou didn't object. "Let's play games. It's still early. Oh, and there are some snacks here..."
So the two of them played games and ate snacks at the same time, which was quite comfortable.
However, the staff at the resort at the foot of the mountain were not happy at this time.
"Are you serious? The news about adding a sofa wasn't communicated properly? Where is he?"
"We've looked for him, but we just can't find him. Something's not right!"
"Let's all go out and look for them. There aren't many customers right now anyway. Just leave two people here at the restaurant. Everyone has already had dinner, so they shouldn't be coming back anytime soon."
"Okay, let's go out and look for them quickly. I have a feeling something might have happened."
Now, apart from a few players, all the remaining tourists are resting in their cabins.
The fact that almost all the resort staff were out patrolling the area was noticed by the players. When some players went up to ask them, they all said it was a patrol, which made sense given what happened last night.
Although the players didn't believe it, they couldn't get any answers no matter how many questions they asked. They didn't press the matter further, figuring they would eventually find out what had happened if they just kept watching.
As a result, they were called away by others not long after they met these people. These people did not go anywhere else, but returned to their posts as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the players all felt that something must have happened, but as long as the NPCs didn't say anything, they wouldn't know. Meanwhile, three people had gathered at the security room, the same three people as before.
"Do you know?"
"Of course I know, I'm the one who found him!" the security guard said somewhat discontentedly. "I really didn't expect something like this to happen, that he was the first one chosen."
"The problem now is that the resort already has a small number of security guards, and now there's one less. What if something happens next?"
The doctor said nonchalantly, "Anyway, it's already started. What's the use of you being anxious? It'll be the same result sooner or later. And all we need to do is make sure we bring that thing with us."
The security guard gradually calmed down. "Yes... as long as you wear that thing, that's the most important thing. As for the others..."
The doctor shook his head. "If Yu Peng weren't here, perhaps we could have stopped him, but given the current situation, do you want to step in?"
After careful consideration, the security guard shook his head. "No, it's too difficult and too dangerous. Let's just ignore it. As long as he doesn't try anything with me, I can turn a blind eye."
The restaurant manager said, "Our main concern right now is how to appease these tourists. There are still a lot of tourists, and if they all rebel, it will cause trouble. After all, they can't leave, and we can't leave either."
"Leave the task of calming the guests to me," the security guard said. "Anyway, the signal and mountain roads can't be fixed in a short time. Let them stay a few more days, and the number of people will naturally decrease."
"Once it's almost time, we won't have to worry anymore. It would be good enough if we could let them continue to live here."
"Then it's settled. Everyone go back now, and we'll begin when the time is right..."
At this moment, all the tourist NPCs were completely unaware of this, but a few scattered players overheard their conversation using props and immediately had an ominous premonition.
If we stay longer, will the number of tourists decrease?
The security guard's initial statement implied that there was one person missing from the security team, but this could not be publicized or even told to anyone.
Of course, Lin Wanyi, who had been paying attention to this, also heard these words. He did not hide his actions, so Jiang Xiali knew about them. He just didn't know the content of their conversation.
Moreover, he didn't ask any further questions. Since Lin Wanyi had said that this was a secret mission, he shouldn't inquire about it casually to avoid any problems.
Lin Wanyi is usually quite arrogant outside, and has offended many people. As a result, many people have been secretly observing her. Once they confirm that Lin Wanyi is in trouble, they will chase after her like sharks that smell blood.
Jiang Xiali leaned against him, looking at her phone. Since they couldn't connect to the internet in the instance, she played some single-player games, which were quite fun.
After finishing her work, Lin Wanyi moved closer to him. "Want to play together?"
Jiang Xiali said, "Okay, you can play with it. I've only played it a few times so far, but I'm not very good at it yet."
Those inside the cabins were all fine, eating and playing as usual, but those outside were in a bit of danger. At this moment, Hang Qing was leading Su Tong and the other person to explore the area near the garden at the foot of the mountain.
But I couldn't find anything. This garden is a garden whether it's day or night. The only difference is that the garden is very beautiful during the day, but it becomes very eerie at night.
The prop in Su Tong's hand didn't react. "There are no ghosts here."
Hang Qing sighed, "I know there are no ghosts. This isn't a supernatural instance, so where would ghosts come from? I asked you to check for other moving things besides us, because they might come to attack us."
Su Tong, "The conversation between the security guard and the other two mentioned that one of the guards is missing... Are you really sure something might come out to attack us tonight?"
"There was a security guard who got eaten before, maybe he'll eat his fill tonight and won't come out?"
Hang Qing was speechless. "A monster that eats people, do you think it would be satisfied with just one person? Such a monster either keeps suppressing its appetite, but once it gets a taste for meat, it will never be able to resist again. I guarantee it will definitely appear again. Just wait here."
Su Tong looked around. "Why did you choose this place?"
Hang Qing: "It's quite beautiful here, it's good to stay and take a look."
Su Tong was taken aback. "Huh?"
While she was still in shock, Hang Qing turned around and a dagger appeared in his hand, stabbing her in the neck from the side.
After Su Tong's shocked gaze fell on Hang Qing's face, she realized that Hang Qing's eyes had changed drastically, becoming dark and lifeless, like a stagnant pool of water.
Only then did he realize that Hang Qing was no longer Hang Qing; he was being controlled by something.
Hang Qing drew his dagger, then smiled vividly at Su Tong, who was lying on the ground. "Don't overthink it. I wasn't controlled. I just triggered a hidden main storyline. Sorry... since you trusted me the most, I had to start with you. See you later."
Su Tong breathed her last with resentment, thinking to herself that when she returned to the real world, she would make Hang Qing pay, kill her, she absolutely had to kill her!
Hang Qing looked at Su Tong's corpse, put away his knife, and left quickly. In any case, there were no surveillance cameras inside the garden, or rather, the entire resort had very few surveillance cameras, with only some in the most critical locations.
Just in case, she had parted ways with Su Tong in a place with surveillance cameras beforehand, and then walked up the mountain. If you watched the surveillance footage, you would definitely think that she was going back to rest, while Su Tong was coming to the garden, and she was taking a detour to meet up with her.
Now all she has to do is go back the way she came and stay in the house. As long as she doesn't expose herself, she will definitely be able to pass the game in the end. The points she gets after successfully completing the hidden main storyline are indeed much more.
Su Tong's body was left on the spot, and the dark and silent night was slowly broken. Soon everyone noticed that the wind was blowing outside, and it was almost as strong as the night before.
Lin Leyou, who was inside the wooden house, was also a little surprised. "It's windy outside again. Will it be windy every night?"
They had changed positions; Lin Leyou was leaning against Xue Rui, playing on her phone, with a chicken claw in her mouth.
Xue Rui: "Don't worry about it, we're very strong anyway."
Lin Leyou only glanced at it briefly, as the curtains were drawn and she couldn't see what was happening outside. "If it weren't for the need for secrecy... I would have gone out to investigate long ago. If I could help him, I could get a pretty good reward."
Xue Rui paused slightly, "Received a reward?"
Lin Leyou said, "Do you remember that time in Qingshui Town? I helped Lin Wanyi and received a lot of benefits. If you can help this time, not only me, but you will definitely be rewarded as well."
Xue Rui, "This is a good thing, but..."
Lin Leyou sighed and took a bite of a chicken foot. "But this time it's a secret, so we'd better help him without knowing the details, otherwise... not only will we not get the reward, but we'll also get into trouble."
Xue Rui: "So we can only wait for him to contact us?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "We can only wait. It's alright... If he can't handle it, he'll definitely come looking for us. If he can handle it, even if we don't have good luck this time and miss this opportunity..."
Xue Rui: "There will be better opportunities in the future."
Lin Leyou: "Hmm... no rush, we can just live our own lives."
The wind is howling outside tonight. If you look closely, you'll see that the wind is even stronger than last night. But many people are resting and playing inside the cabins. They only know that it's windy outside, but they don't think about whether the wind is stronger than yesterday.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Leyou and the others took a shower and then lay in bed to continue playing until after 11 p.m. before finally going to sleep.
