Chapter 619 [(*^▽^*)]
Just as Lin Leyou was about to find an opportunity to put the chili powder into the pot and bowl, he heard the sound of the door opening outside. He wasn't the only one living in this house!
The man, busy in the kitchen, paused for a moment before turning around and walking out. "Wife, you're back?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Leyou controlled the mechanical spider to rinse the chili powder stuck to its legs in the soup pot. Only after confirming that the chili powder had been incorporated into the pot did he control the spider to hide.
"Why are you cooking? Let me cook, you go and rest, you've been busy all day..."
"Alright then, I still have some work to finish. Anyway, I've taken care of most of the things. You just need to prepare the dishes a little, and the rice is already in the cooker."
"Okay, I understand. Go ahead and get busy."
And so the man returned to his room, while his wife, the woman who had just returned, went into the kitchen.
Lin Leyou hid the mechanical spider in a high place this time, on top of a cabinet, so he could see what was happening in the kitchen. To his surprise, while the woman was cooking, she secretly took out something from her pocket—a small jar about the size of a finger. When she opened it, it contained red powder.
So... is this chili powder?
She took out her chopsticks, dipped the tip of one into the soup pot, stirred it, and then placed the small jar on the windowsill outside the kitchen window.
The kitchen window has privacy film on it, so you can't see this thing unless you open the window.
The woman quickly prepared all the food, and soon all the dishes were served. "Come out and eat!"
She even tasted the soup. "Mmm, this soup tastes just right!"
Lin Leyou looked at the woman with some surprise. She was that man's wife, but she had attacked her own husband. Living in this world really tests one's humanity.
This is easy to happen when feelings are fake, but his feelings for Xue Rui were real. They both knew each other's rules of death, but they would never use them to kill each other.
The man came out of the room and sat down in a chair. "It smells so good. As expected of my wife. Eat up."
The two ate like an ordinary couple. The man put a piece of celery and pork on his wife's plate, while the woman ladled him a bowl of soup.
The man watched the woman eat the food he had put on her plate, while the woman watched the man drink the soup she had ladled for him. They were so engrossed in their observation that they didn't even realize what they were eating.
When they noticed each other's gaze, they both froze for a moment, then simultaneously covered their throats, staring at each other with disbelief.
Lin Leyou was now certain that the two of them had attacked each other at the same time. It seemed that neither of them was innocent. Now he wanted to know if he had killed the man.
No need to worry, just wait a few more seconds and you'll know.
The two lay on the ground, clutching their necks and rolling their eyes. In just five or six seconds, they breathed their last.
Lin Leyou waited for his system notification, and soon he heard the notification he wanted to hear: ten million points had been credited to his account.
Without wasting any time, he controlled the little spider to leave through the crack in the toilet window and climb back to his home by climbing the outer wall.
Lin Leyou slowly wiped the chili powder residue off the mechanical spider's legs, then placed the mechanical spider in a corner of the house to monitor the situation, especially when he was not home.
There are eight mechanical spiders in this community. Four of them have discovered the rules of death for those people, but they are all specific actions, so there is nothing he can do about it for the time being.
We can only wait and see when they go out, and then try to find an opportunity to do so.
Lin Leyou waited quietly. Time gradually came to eight o'clock. There was only the light of the streetlights on the street outside. There were no other figures that could move around. He didn't even see the figure of the man in red.
Although the people in red have special privileges, they still have to follow the rules most of the time, right?
Just as Lin Leyou was about to look away and draw the curtains, he saw a figure appear under the streetlight outside, and he was immediately stunned.
It's the man in red I saw during the day; he's walking around outside!
So... the people in red don't actually need to follow the rules? Otherwise, how do you explain this?
Lin Leyou told Xue Rui about this discovery directly, and Xue Rui, for some reason, also happened to see the aunt in red whom he had seen many times before.
Xue Rui said, "Stop looking, let's close the curtains first."
Lin Leyou also felt a little creeped out, and then planned to draw the curtains. In fact, he had already drawn the curtains halfway, and now he only needed to pull them open.
But just then, he noticed the man in red under the streetlight downstairs look up at him, with the same expression he had when he saw him during the day.
Lin Leyou was taken aback when he noticed his gaze. This person wasn't looking in his direction, but at him!
He was pretty sure of that.
Why is this man in red looking at him? Is he trying to get revenge for that dog owner?
Lin Leyou glanced at it a few times before slowly drawing the curtains. He then went back to bed and lay down, where he absentmindedly touched the ring. "That man in red was looking at me just now."
Xue Rui didn't answer immediately, but after five or six seconds said, "That lady in red also looked at me, something's not right."
Lin Leyou paused slightly, then drew back the curtains, but the man in red who had been under the streetlights just moments before had vanished, and there was still no one outside. It was as if everything he had seen was just his imagination.
"It's gone."
The woman in red on Xue Rui's side had also disappeared, and he had a bad feeling. "Is she targeting us?"
Lin Leyou said, "I think we shouldn't sleep tonight. We should meet up immediately after midnight."
Xue Rui thought so too, "Be careful between eight o'clock and twelve o'clock."
Lin Leyou naturally knew, "I understand, you should also be careful."
The woman in red had said she could protect them, so Lin Leyou thought Xue Rui wouldn't be attacked by her, but he thought he might be in trouble.
It was already past eight o'clock, and it was absolutely forbidden to go outside. But for some reason, Lin Leyou still felt there was danger. This feeling lingered in his mind, forcing him to take it seriously.
Within the rule-bound realm, anyone who violates the rules will be killed, rendering the defensive items in his inventory useless. Therefore, he must activate the rule-invalidating card!
The three-hour rule invalid card has already used up twenty-five minutes. If it is activated now, who knows when problems will occur.
More importantly, he always felt that there shouldn't be any problems at home, but this lingering sense of crisis was very real.
Or should we let our intuition decide this time?
Lin Leyou used the rule invalidation card with some suspicion, but the sense of crisis quickly disappeared. He frowned slightly. What happened? It disappeared after he used it?
He deactivated the rule invalidation card again, and the sense of crisis enveloped him once more. Unwilling to believe it, Lin Leyou activated the item again. The sense of crisis disappeared, the item was deactivated, and the sense of crisis reappeared.
Very good...very good! It feels like I've been locked onto by some strange gadget.
Good grief, there must be a resident playing an NPC secretly watching me!
Lin Leyou felt that he was caught in a dilemma: whether to use the prop or not. He was indeed feeling a sense of crisis. If he didn't use it, it felt like there was a sword hanging above him, its blade pointing at him, as if it would fall at any moment, but it wouldn't.
Even though he knew it wouldn't fall, he was still very worried. After all, there was a sword on it, and if it fell, he would die, he would definitely die!
Lin Leyou sighed deeply, finally holding the rule invalidation card in his hand, but did not use it. Instead, he chose to tough it out. This sense of crisis was definitely caused by someone using a prop, just to make him use up all the time he had left on the rule invalidation card.
etc……
Lin Leyou suddenly realized something: why would an NPC who was targeting him do this? It was as if they were specifically watching him and then leading him step by step to his death.
First, confirm your identity and location, as well as the rules of death. Second, use props to distract yourself and carelessly write something in that shop, causing him to use up his only chance to use a resurrection coin.
This approach is clearly targeting the invalid cards they possess.
How does this NPC know that he has an invalid rule card? Does he know that he has a total of three hours of invalid rule card usage time?
Although there are only two and a half hours left now.
Xue Rui suddenly asked, "Ayou, how's it going on your end?"
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. "Why have you changed how you address me again?"
Xue Rui: "It sounds nice, let's change the way we call each other."
Lin Leyou sighed, "Whatever... By the way, why did you ask that? Is it because of your situation?"
Xue Rui said, "I'm fine here, but something feels off. I've been thinking about it, and I think something must have happened to you."
Lin Leyou blinked. "I'm fine here, don't worry."
Xue Rui: "Really? We can't hide it from you."
Lin Leyou sighed, "You really do ask questions that dig deep!"
Xue Rui smirked, "You find me annoying?"
Lin Leyou: "How could that be?"
He told Xue Rui the truth about what had happened. He had just suppressed Xue Rui's idea of going to that store, and if he hid it now, Xue Rui would definitely explode if he found out later.
Xue Rui: "It's definitely a prop."
Lin Leyou: "Yes, I feel my whole body is covered in hair, and my hair is standing on end. I always feel like there is danger around me. Every time I subconsciously check my surroundings, I feel very dangerous, but there is nothing there."
