Chapter 624 [(*^▽^*)]
After Xue Rui finished speaking, he was about to leave when the other person stopped him, "Sir, are you sure you didn't see it?"
Xue Rui raised an eyebrow. Something was off about this person's tone; it even carried a hint of accusation. So…
"So what if you saw it? So what if you didn't?"
He suddenly lost his anxious demeanor, stared at Xue Rui for a while, and then smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll give you the little turtle."
He stared at Xue Rui for a long time as he said this, but Xue Rui didn't show any other expression. "What did you give me?"
Seeing his calm and unhurried expression, the other party was somewhat surprised, wondering if they had misunderstood.
Xue Rui stared at him expressionlessly, but secretly contacted Lin Leyou, who quickly responded.
Just as the other person was speaking, Lin Leyou activated his rule invalidation card. What a close call! Fortunately, he didn't hear any system notification that he had violated the rules.
In other words, what that person just said was directed at Xue Rui. As long as the little turtle isn't in Xue Rui's hands, Xue Rui will be fine.
As for Lin Leyou... he took advantage of the time when the rule invalidation card was activated, quickly took the little turtle out of the box, casually placed it on the path to the side, and let it crawl away on its own.
Only after disabling the effect of the rule invalidation card did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Looks like you absolutely can't pick up random things outside anymore, it could be deadly! This guy... they thought he really lost his pet, but it turns out he was fishing here.
Xue Rui completely relaxed after learning that Lin Leyou had already lost the little turtle, and his gaze towards the person in front of him gradually turned dangerous. "What do you mean?"
The other party may have sensed the danger, but made no attempt to hide it. "Don't you understand? I mean exactly what you think. What? Can't accept it? Then kill me."
Xue Rui narrowed his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, and then suddenly smiled. He quietly left his mechanical spider behind and said, "I understand what you mean."
He didn't linger there, but turned and left, taking Lin Leyou, who was hiding some distance away, with him. Lin Leyou never appeared in his sight from beginning to end.
So the other party didn't know that Lin Leyou was nearby. After the person left, he revealed a cold smile and then continued to search for his little turtle in the surrounding area.
"Isn't it here? Then let's look elsewhere."
There are relatively few people around here, and most people don't pick up things randomly, just to avoid encountering the same thing that happened before. He wandered around here for a long time, and finally started walking in all directions.
After walking to a certain spot, he would turn around and walk around for a while. Finally, he marked out a range and then came to the center of that range, where he found the turtle lying in the small flower bed.
"My little cutie, so you've been here all along! Alright... come with me. Even though I didn't find anything today, I still really like you!"
At this moment, Xue Rui, who was leading Lin Leyou to deal with another NPC in the distance, roughly understood how this person determined the exact location of the little turtle.
He kept searching for the little turtle within that area because he could determine its approximate location. As long as the little turtle didn't stray beyond that area for more than a certain period of time, finding it again wouldn't be considered a violation of the rules.
Since that's the case, then things will be easier. He'll take out the little turtle again later and have it ride in the car and speed away from this area. He doesn't know if he'll be able to pinpoint the turtle's exact location by then.
Lin Leyou: "The remaining two are quite easy to deal with."
Xue Rui didn't take action himself, but instead had Lin Leyou do it. There were two in total, and now Lin Leyou has collected ten, which fulfills the tenth rule.
Now only Xue Rui is left. He's still short three, but it doesn't matter. If they really want to get three, it's not difficult at all. They just need to let the mechanical spiders follow the NPCs home, and they'll know more or less about the other party's death rules, at least one of them.
They didn't go out for lunch, but instead stayed busy until the afternoon before buying groceries and returning to Xue Rui's house. Of course, Lin Leyou was still waiting outside at their usual spot.
Xue Rui went home to cook, and after they finished cooking, they ate out. Lin Leyou even took out some snacks from her backpack to eat, but unfortunately, Xue Rui couldn't finish them.
After they finished eating, it was around 5 p.m. After tidying up, Xue Rui once again followed Lin Leyou to this upscale residential area.
Now we can try to kill the three we missed before. If we can take them down, Xue Rui will have enough people on his side. Even if we can't, it's okay, Xue Rui still has one on his side to keep an eye on.
In particular, Lin Leyou still has someone she met at the mall to deal with, and that's something that needs to be left until the end.
The two of them found a bench downstairs, sat down to rest, and waited for the others to return. The remaining three were exhausted on their way back, but strangely...
Lin Leyou: "Huh? How did those three end up together?"
Xue Rui also looked over and saw three people walking towards them from a distance. At first glance, they thought they were coming towards the two of them, but they turned a corner and walked away.
"It was the three of them?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, it's the three of them. I didn't expect them to get together like this. What should we do?"
He now knows one of the three rules of death for each of them. One is that he cannot drink water directly, which is fatal, so he can only eat fruits and vegetables with high water content.
The other two are that you can't laugh wildly and you can't run.
Logically speaking, the one who can't run is the simplest, but he's been able to hold on until now, so he must be in good control. As for not being able to drink water and not being able to laugh wildly...
It's easy to prevent him from drinking water; just give him a sip. But preventing him from laughing wildly is a bit more difficult. After all, if he doesn't want to laugh, no one can make him laugh, let alone laugh wildly.
When the three of them appeared in Lin Leyou and his companions' field of vision, the two of them simultaneously released their mechanical spiders, which were now nearby.
"Hey, who are you guys targeting? Is it those two from earlier?"
"Didn't you guys keep an eye on it? If you're not willing, you can leave, so you don't come back to claim your share later when you've made a profit."
"But there are only two of them. If all three of us participate, there's no way to divide it, right?"
"How about we go one by one?"
"That won't do. If we go over there, they'll definitely be on their guard."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. We can't split it between two people. Anyway, I'm going first. Don't forget I was last last time, so I'm sure I'll be first this time, right?"
The other two thought about it and didn't object, so they let him go first. As for who would be the second, that was between the two of them.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui exchanged a glance. It seemed that they weren't the only ones who had their eyes on these three; these three had also decided to keep an eye on them on a whim while passing by.
This rule-based country is truly... Everyone is constantly looking for targets, and sometimes they don't even want to let go of opportunities they think they have, even if they just pass by.
For them, as long as they abide by their own rules and don't break them, they won't lose anything even if they don't scheme against others. Even if they get beaten up, it doesn't matter, as long as they don't die.
Lin Leyou became interested. He wanted to see what these people planned to do. Did they know their rules of death, or did they intend to kill them by starting with the Ten Rules?
When the first person came over, he walked over confidently and casually asked as he got closer, "Hey, you guys are here. Did you see someone pass by here just now?"
Lin Leyou shook his head. "No."
"Really not? His clothes are very conspicuous, a purple jacket with reflective strips, very obvious!"
Lin Leyou shook his head again, "I didn't see it. Go look somewhere else."
He said with some regret, "You really didn't see him? He was probably only up to my shoulder, a young man. I arranged to meet him here. Did he come and then leave?"
Lin Leyou looked at him and said, "We've only been here a short time and haven't seen anyone yet."
He then said with some regret, "Really? I'm so sorry to bother you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Leyou said to Xue Rui beside him, "Have you noticed?"
Xue Rui replied, "No, I only pay attention to you."
Lin Leyou paused slightly, not saying anything to Xue Rui, but turning to look at the person who had just been interrupted, "Ah, what were you thinking about telling me?"
He snapped out of his daze, forced a smile, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just apologize for bothering you. Maybe he hasn't arrived yet. I hope I won't bother you by waiting here?"
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "It's alright, you can wait here."
"Is it really okay? Will it interfere with your conversations or anything?"
Lin Leyou said nonchalantly, "It won't have any impact. We don't have anything to hide."
He smiled and nodded, "That's good, that's good. Then I'll..."
Lin Leyou then turned to Xue Rui and asked, "You really didn't see it?"
Xue Rui replied, "Didn't I say I wasn't paying attention? I only pay attention to you."
The person standing to the side was getting a little embarrassed. He tried to hold back, but finally couldn't help it. "Were you doing this on purpose?"
Lin Leyou looked at him strangely, "What did I do on purpose?"
“Intentionally stop at the crucial point of each of the three sentences when you talk to the people around you.”
Lin Leyou chuckled and didn't deny it. "Now that you know, what are you still doing here? Go home and stop embarrassing yourself in public, okay?"
"Fine, you've got guts. You think you're so tough? You really think I can't handle you?"
Lin Leyou, "How do you plan to treat me?"
His face was full of sarcasm. "How do I deal with you? I can just take you right now..."
This was the third time; he still hadn't finished speaking. Lin Leyou turned to look at Xue Rui, "He said he wanted to cure me. What do you think I should do?"
