Chapter 590 [(*^▽^*)]
Of course, the remaining Zhou Feng is not bad either. He is a retired soldier. Although he is a little older, his age is not a problem after becoming a player.
Looking at it this way, you have to admit, Xue Rui's player team is really impressive.
Moreover, Xue Rui has now set his sights on Guo Chengzheng and Rong Yuwen, whom he encountered in the previous instance. Now it remains to be seen whether the two of them will accept Xue Rui's invitation.
After killing Hang Qing, Lin Leyou finally got off his back. "Am I heavy?"
Xue Rui said, "I can't feel any weight at all."
Lin Leyou blinked. "Really?"
Xue Rui put away his weapon, glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, then took Lin Leyou's hand and left the place. "Let's go, we should go back."
Instead of returning to the cabin, they went to the restaurant to take a look. There were some people in the restaurant, including Lin Wanyi and Jiang Xiali.
Are they ordering food and getting ready to eat?
When Lin Wanyi saw them, she reached out and waved to them, signaling them to come over.
Lin Leyou led Xue Rui to their table and sat down. "Did you need something?"
Lin Wanyi shook her head. "Let's eat together."
Lin Leyou felt something was off. He stared at Lin Wanyi for a while, then looked at Jiang Xiali, who was bowing his head and remaining silent with a normal expression, before standing up.
"No need, my partner and I won't be eating here tonight, you guys eat."
As he spoke, he took Xue Rui's hand and left the restaurant. As they were leaving, the restaurant manager came out to try and stop them, saying, "Gentlemen, it's so late. You came to the restaurant to eat, so why are you leaving without eating anything? Doesn't that make us seem like we haven't been hospitable enough?"
"I know we haven't done a good job these past few days. How about this, I'll treat you two to dinner for free tonight, with all fresh ingredients!"
Lin Leyou feigned hesitation, while Xue Rui stood silently beside him, as if it were none of his business. The manager's gaze lingered on him for a moment before returning to Lin Leyou.
He could tell that Lin Leyou, not Xue Rui, was the one who could make the decisions between the two.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Leyou said, "Let's forget it. We're not very hungry. We've been walking around all day and are a bit tired. We want to go back and rest early and come down to eat tomorrow. By the way... is it still free to eat tomorrow?"
The manager paused for a moment, then said, "Tomorrow... tomorrow is also free, you can come anytime. Take care, both of you."
Lin Leyou led Xue Rui away from the restaurant, and the two slowly walked up the mountain. "It's much quieter now."
Xue Rui looked back at the restaurant with some confusion, but the lights were off! The restaurant was completely dark from his perspective.
What happened? Weren't Lin Wanyi and Jiang Xiali waiting inside for dinner just now?
Lin Leyou also saw this scene, but his expression remained unchanged. "Let's go."
Xue Rui, "What's going on... that's not what we were talking about..."
Isn't this a supernatural dungeon?
If we rule out supernatural causes, then it can only be a skill! Is this a player's skill or a dungeon boss's skill?
The two calmly withdrew their gazes. "It can't be..."
It couldn't be a player. If it were, the manager would never side with a player and fight with a tourist. Normal players have no reason to fight with ordinary tourists.
Their main mission is definitely to leave the resort or kill the resort's instance boss, which has absolutely nothing to do with ordinary tourists.
Only resort staff would target tourists; after all, that seems to be their goal.
Lin Leyou shook the hand she was holding, "Don't think too much, go find Lin Wanyi."
Xue Rui: "Those two are fake, they're illusions."
Lin Leyou said, "Yes, it's a fake illusion. They're definitely somewhere else right now. Let's go look for them in their cabin first."
The wooden cabin where Lin Wanyi and Jiang Xiali lived was at the foot of the mountain and easy to find. The two of them soon arrived outside the cabin. The cabin was dark and quiet, so it was obvious that no one was inside.
It's already dark, but the two of them haven't returned yet. Could it be that they've gone off to enjoy some time alone together, just like them?
Xue Rui, "Since that's the case, then we..."
Lin Leyou sighed, "Since they're not here, let's go back to our cabin. It probably won't be more than two days until the end."
In a maximum of two days, the battle between the players and the BOSS will begin. At that time, they can just hide nearby and watch.
But when they reached the middle of the mountain and were about to turn onto a side road to go back to their cabin, they spotted two figures ahead of them.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Yu Peng and Wang Yi. What were they doing here?
Hearing the noise, Yu Peng turned around. "Oh, you two are back? I've been waiting for you!"
Lin Leyou, "Do you... have something to do for us?"
Yu Peng waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to check on you. I'm relieved to see you're back."
After he finished speaking, he walked straight past them down the mountain, while his girlfriend, Wang Yi, followed closely behind him like a little follower, as if he would lose him if he slowed down even a step.
The two quickly disappeared down the road, leaving only a few streetlights illuminating their path...
Huh? This is...
Just as Lin Leyou noticed the streetlights, they unexpectedly went out the next second!
The entire mountain... no, the entire resort and other villages in the distance were plunged into darkness, the only light coming from the twinkling stars in the sky.
Lin Leyou looked up at the night sky through the bare branches of the tree and said, "I must say, the starry sky is beautiful tonight."
Xue Rui: "Shall we go to the observation deck at the top of the mountain?"
Lin Leyou shook his head and looked at Xue Rui, "Didn't we already go? The whole mountain is dark and barren now, what's there to see?"
"The entire resort is without power, and with that incident, things are likely to get complicated tonight. Let's head back and see what happens tomorrow."
The two returned to the cabin without paying attention to anything outside. Their return was heard by the things in the vase outside the back window.
It was so bored here that even the slightest sound would cheer it up.
Yu Peng and Wang Yi had already reached the foot of the mountain and were standing near the No. 1 wooden house, seemingly waiting for someone. The streetlights going out did not affect them at all.
Yu Peng even looked at the sky with great interest; the stars tonight were indeed very beautiful.
Yu Peng: "Wang Yi, how long have we been dating? I forgot."
Wang Yi paused slightly, "I...I've been with you for over four years."
Yu Peng muttered softly, "It's been more than four years...that's quite a long time. Do you think I've been good to you?"
Wang Yi: "Baby, of course you're good to me, why are you suddenly asking this question..."
Yu Peng turned around, staring intently at him. "What do you think?"
Wang Yi's hands trembled. "This... how would I know? Is there something I did wrong? Just tell me, I can change it."
Yu Peng sneered, "What did you do wrong? You're wrong in every way! If I could, I would have secretly killed you long ago, why would I have waited until now?"
Wang Yi didn't immediately understand what Yu Peng meant. "Baby, what... what are you doing?!"
Yu Peng, "You think you can still hide this from me?"
Wang Yi subconsciously took a step back. "No...don't do anything rash, baby! You're the one I love the most. I only want to be with you, I only like you, my whole being belongs to you."
Yu Peng seemed not to listen to what he was saying at all. "I give you the best of everything, but what I never expected was that you were actually sent by them."
"The food you bring me is always mixed with unnecessary things. When you take me out, you always try to indirectly provoke me with all sorts of little things, and then calm me down after I've finished throwing a tantrum... in order to reinforce my image as a short-tempered and unreasonable person in other people's minds."
Wang Yi's ingratiating expression quickly disappeared, and he looked at Yu Peng with calm eyes. Yu Peng, however, showed no interest in his change of expression and continued to stare directly at him.
"You were sent by them to monitor me, isolate me, and then bring me back to the village, right? After all, the food you gave me was prepared by them."
Wang Yi then spoke up, "This is a good thing."
Yu Peng seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and asked him in return, "Since you think this is a good thing, then let me ask you, why don't you do it?"
Wang Yi fell silent. He didn't know how to answer, but he knew the answer in his heart: he was unwilling, absolutely unwilling.
After all, this is ultimately meant to be fed to...
So what he just said about it being a good thing is complete nonsense. Nobody thinks it's a good thing because nobody would willingly fatten themselves up and give themselves to a monster to eat.
After much thought, Wang Yi could only come up with one explanation: "That... belongs to your family. It's said that if they share the same bloodline, it will evolve more perfectly."
Yu Peng was speechless. This Wang Yi was really shameless. "You're hopeless."
Wang Yi wanted to say something, but now that he had been exposed, although he didn't know when it had happened, it was clear that he no longer needed to pretend.
Yu Peng didn't want to give him a chance to speak anymore. Before Wang Yi could react, Yu Peng suddenly produced a palm-sized sharp knife and plunged it into his neck!
Wang Yi stared at him in shock, his hands trembling as he reached out to grab the hand holding the knife. He made a few last sounds, but Yu Peng could no longer understand what he was saying.
His cold, hard gaze fell on Wang Yi's face, then he pulled out the knife, and blood spurted out from Wang Yi's neck. He slowly knelt on the ground, looking up at Yu Peng, who was coldly staring at him with the knife in his hand.
"Baby...I love you."
Yu Peng understood what Yu Peng was saying, but he no longer believed Yu Peng's words. If Yu Peng really loved him, how could he do such a thing to him?
