Chapter 620 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou sighed, "Even if I know in my heart that nothing's wrong, it's no use. This feeling is just everywhere..."
Xue Rui: "You're being targeted... Don't worry, I will absolutely not let this person get away with it."
He will absolutely not let those who have their eyes on Lin Leyou get away with it easily!
Lin Leyou said, "I also feel like I'm being targeted. This resident definitely has a grudge against me. Logically speaking, the NPC played by the resident shouldn't have revealed all their cards so early."
Xue Rui: "Perhaps it was a prop he possessed himself."
Lin Leyou said, "This has been going on for a while, almost ten minutes."
Xue Rui was still worried, "You can't rest?"
Lin Leyou nodded, but then realized that the other person couldn't see her nod. "Well, but I already said we wouldn't sleep and would meet up after midnight, so it's okay if we don't rest now. If you're worried about me, I'll come find you later, and we can find a place to curl up. I'll lean on you and sleep for a while."
Xue Rui's eyes flickered slightly. "You can't even sleep peacefully at home now. Don't sleep."
Lin Leyou said, "I understand. When we meet up outside, how about we find an internet cafe or hotel and get a private room? We can each have one person sleep while the other keeps watch over us."
Xue Rui: "No problem."
Although such places may still be somewhat dangerous, having trustworthy people around makes any place the safest.
This is really a loophole, and hopefully things will remain calm until midnight the next day.
Lin Leyou couldn't close his eyes at all. He could only sit on the bed with his eyes open, staring at the ceiling, or use his phone to browse news about this dungeon world to supplement his knowledge.
Residents still have cell phones, but players in the dungeon world certainly don't have their own cell phones. So if they want to know information... there are internet cafes.
I just don't know if they'll ever think of going to an internet cafe.
Xue Rui must have known about Lin Leyou's current situation, so he would talk to him from time to time to distract him. And it has to be said, this method is indeed very effective.
Lin Leyou was still somewhat energetic until midnight. When the time came to midnight the next day, the sense of crisis that had been lingering around him suddenly disappeared, as if it had never happened.
He collapsed onto the bed in that instant. To be honest, this intense sense of crisis had persisted until now, and even he was finding it hard to bear.
"System notification: At midnight on the second day, the number of remaining participants is 369."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath. There were only so few people left, which meant that 131 people had died in just one day. It seemed that the remaining time would not be easy to get through.
Xue Rui: "Leyou, let's set off now. I found a hotel near your house, which should be the most luxurious hotel in the Kingdom of Rules. I've already booked the best suite."
Lin Leyou didn't care about that. "A room that's too big is not good. It will be more difficult to search, and some people might take advantage of it, for example, by hiding in a corner of the suite."
Xue Rui: "It's okay. I've set up my entire surveillance system in the suite. If anyone comes, I'll definitely be able to spot them immediately."
Lin Leyou slowly got up, changed her clothes, and planned to leave home to wait for him at the hotel. Xue Rui had already gone downstairs to hail a taxi. On his way, he bought some of Lin Leyou's favorite foods at the night market.
Lin Leyou, "You went out?"
Xue Rui: "Okay, I'm hailing a taxi now. Be careful over there too."
Lin Leyou: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
He opened the door and went outside. There was nothing there. When he left, he left the mechanical spider he had retrieved at home, since Xue Rui was going to come and stay with him starting on the fourth day.
I've been feeling a bit unwell these past couple of days, so I'm staying at a hotel. I hope the hotel can be a little more accommodating.
There was nothing unusual about him when he went out, until he got downstairs and stood on the path looking at the man in red standing under the street lamp.
Lin Leyou stood there with a serious expression, looking at the man in red in front of him. After a while, he realized that the man was just standing there without making any extra movements, and he didn't even turn around.
It didn't seem dangerous, but Lin Leyou still changed direction and walked. If he got close to the man in red and he spoke to him, should he reply or not?
After all, the man in red doesn't seem to need to follow the rules at all; he can move freely in this rule-bound world, and he can't afford to offend him.
Just as he was about to take another path, the man in red standing in front of him suddenly turned around and looked at him. Lin Leyou paused slightly and withdrew the step he had just taken.
The man in red slowly walked towards him. Lin Leyou did not sense any killing intent or malice from the other party. It was as if he was just walking in this direction and passing by.
However, Lin Leyou still used the gold-plated defensive item very cautiously, and even held the rule invalidation card in his pocket, just waiting for the opponent's move.
To Lin Leyou's surprise, the other person walked over and stopped about three meters away from him, saying, "I want to thank you."
Lin Leyou found it strange. Thank yourself? Thank what?
"You don't need to say anything, just listen to me."
The man in red spoke in a cold, detached voice, as if he had been soaked in ice water. His tone was flat and devoid of any emotion, as if he had lost all connection to the world.
“He used his dog to kill someone who was very important to me. He was always very careful, but I never expected to fall into your hands.”
Lin Leyou gave him a strange look. Wasn't the man in red supposed to break the rules? If he hated him, why not just kill him?
The man in red said, "I know what you're trying to say, but things aren't as simple as you think. I won't say anything more. This neighborhood is my patrol area. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to me, and I'll help you."
He then took out a black object and handed it to me, saying, "Take this. Use it within the community, and I'll come over immediately."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment and then took the device. It was a black mini alarm with a very inconspicuous button on it. Pressing the button would bring the other party over.
He naturally put the mini black alarm into his pocket. Although he didn't know if it was reliable, he still planned to keep it. If it was useful, that would be great; if not, it wouldn't matter.
The man in red saw that he had accepted the gift, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he turned and left. Lin Leyou watched him walk away before heading towards his destination, first stepping out of the community gate.
It was past midnight, and although people could go out, few people ventured out. He could only see a few scattered figures moving around in other places.
Lin Leyou didn't pay attention to them, but he didn't ignore them either. Now, everyone in this instance except Xue Rui needs to be on guard!
When Lin Leyou arrived at the hotel entrance, he was surprised to see Xue Rui waiting for him inside. He'd arrived so quickly!
Lin Leyou didn't think much of it and went inside to meet up with Xue Rui.
There were still many people in the hotel. He said, "You came very quickly."
He then touched the ring again, muttering to himself, "How long have I been here?"
But Xue Rui only said one sentence, "Not quickly, you arrived just as I got here."
Xue Rui in front of him said that, but then another voice rang in his ears, "What? How long have you been here? I'm still in the taxi, we'll be there in about two or three minutes. What's the situation over there?"
Lin Leyou paused slightly, stopped in her tracks, and said, "It's nothing, I just saw you."
Xue Rui was on his way out of the car, his eyes gradually turning dangerous. "Don't wander off, wait for me over there."
Lin Leyou: "No problem, I will take good care of myself."
Just then, Xue Rui, who was walking ahead, turned around and looked at him. "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou knew that the person impersonating Xue Rui had no idea that they had a pair of black jade rings that allowed them to communicate anytime, anywhere without restrictions.
"It's nothing, I just feel a little tired and want to sit here for a while."
Xue Rui found it strange, "If you're tired, you can just go upstairs and sit down. It's not good here with people coming and going."
Lin Leyou ignored him and walked to the sofa in the lobby to sit down. "I need to rest for a bit."
Xue Rui sighed, "Fine, if you want to rest, then rest. I'll keep you company."
Lin Leyou nodded casually, "Then you can sit down too."
Xue Rui was sitting only a body length away from him. If he were attacked from that distance, he would definitely be hit, provided that he wasn't wearing that golden protective shield.
And is this person actually a resident playing an NPC? If so, how much reward would he receive for killing an NPC played by a resident as a participant in the instance?
Or is the reward the same as killing other people?
However... he didn't know the rules of death for this person, so if he wanted to take action, he could only use a weapon to kill him by activating the rule invalidation card, which probably wouldn't reward him with points.
The other person was probably thinking about something else, and the two sat there for two minutes. Then, as if he had made a decision, he turned to look at him and said, "I'm going to the restroom. I'll go to my room when I get back, okay?"
Lin Leyou said, "Okay, go ahead. I don't need to stay in the lobby to rest all the time."
He paused slightly, then quickly walked towards the restroom, where Lin Leyou was waiting... Less than a minute later, Xue Rui walked in from outside the door. He looked at Lin Leyou and then ran over quickly, "How is it?"
Lin Leyou: "You went to the restroom, less than a minute ago. Shall we go look for it?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment and shook his head, "Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. Let's get through the first three days and wait for them to come to us."
Lin Leyou said, "Well, it's a pity. I've already released all my little spiders, and I don't have any better mobile surveillance tools on hand for the time being."
Otherwise, they would definitely want to monitor the other party, and even if there were small spiders around, they would hesitate, since if the other party were playing the role of an NPC resident, they would definitely have a way to find the mechanical spider.
He would absolutely be heartbroken to lose even one of these mechanical spiders.
