Chapter 625 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui understood and patted Lin Leyou on the shoulder, "It's alright, leave it to me."
He then stood up and walked up to the other person, the one Lin Leyou had told him not to run away from. The other person panicked when he saw Xue Rui coming over, "You... what are you going to do?"
Nothing much, Xue Rui just wanted him to move a little. Before the other person could react, Xue Rui grabbed his arm and twisted it forcefully.
The other party was no match for Xue Rui's strength and turned around with his back to him. He was a little slow to react and blinked blankly ahead. By the time he realized what was happening and tried to run away, Xue Rui had already put his hands on his back and pushed him forward hard.
The other person was caught off guard and was pushed by Xue Rui.
Sometimes, even when you know you shouldn't do something, your body's subconscious reaction can override your brain.
To avoid falling, his body instinctively took a few steps forward. When he stopped and regained control, his face turned deathly pale. Oh no, he had just run away!
Sure enough, in just a few seconds, he died just like the NPCs who had previously violated the rules and died, and even the manner of his death was the same.
The body lay there, but Xue Rui paid no attention to it. Instead, he turned back to Lin Leyou's side.
Lin Leyou's lips curled into a smile. "You can see a piece of red fabric at the hem of his clothes after he fell to the ground and struggled."
This person came over specifically to talk to them, seemingly about unrelated things. Considering that the other party was absolutely unaware of their death rules, then this person definitely wanted to use the Ten Rules to kill them.
One of the ten rules for building a good relationship with someone who specifically comes to chat is the fourth rule: don't exchange more than three sentences with someone wearing red.
Just now, Lin Leyou happened to be at the crucial moment of three sentences, and turned to talk to Xue Rui. This way, he could break the condition of speaking continuously and avoid being killed by the rules.
Of course, he didn't know that the person was wearing red underneath, because it was impossible to tell. He only did it as a precaution, but he didn't expect that the person would actually guess correctly. It can be considered that he successfully defended himself once.
Soon Lin Leyou saw a familiar face again. The man in red appeared nearby, walked over, and quietly took the body away without even glancing at them.
The two people who had been waiting in the distance saw that the person who was coming was dead, and they immediately gave up the idea of continuing. Instead, they turned around and left, but unfortunately, two mechanical spiders were following them.
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "You're still short two, right?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Yes, these two are just right."
Lin Leyou stood up. "Let's go, let's follow them. We can't do anything about the one who can't laugh wildly for now, but we can still do the one who can't drink water."
He was carrying a box containing a baby hamster, and even some small items needed to raise a hamster. Of course, since it was only for a short time, he was just having a little fun in the dungeon, raising a small, fluffy hamster.
They took a shortcut and walked to the front, where there were no surveillance cameras. Then Lin Leyou took out a bottle of water from his backpack, which he had put in the Endless World. After all, in the dungeon world, you can't put anything in your backpack except for items.
After taking the bottle and unscrewing the cap, Xue Rui suddenly said, "It's probably not a good idea for us to do it ourselves here."
Lin Leyou said, "Didn't you get a purple-grade puppet before? Take yours out and put it here. When they arrive, just fill it with water."
There are two purple-grade puppets in total. They were obtained from other players in the Xiushan Village dungeon. Each of them has one. They are combat puppets, so the quality is quite good.
After Xue Rui took out his combat puppet, he handed the bottle of water to him and then led Xue Rui away from there, walking into the distance. Soon they appeared on the surveillance footage and walked even further away.
Combat golems can take other special routes, such as climbing walls to catch up, thus making the matter irrelevant to them.
The people who died on the bench before did so because they broke the rules. After all, they didn't have a murder weapon or give the other person anything to eat. But this time it's different. This time, they're going to force water into the other person's mouth.
If someone dies after being flooded, it's a bit difficult to determine the cause. What if the water was poisoned? Even if the person did die because they violated the rules, it would require a police investigation to confirm. Right now, they absolutely cannot get involved in such a troublesome matter.
The combat puppet was waiting there with a water bottle. The two people who were walking towards them were still in shock and had no idea that the two people they were afraid of had already walked ahead of them, and even arranged for a combat puppet to wait for them at the corner ahead, which was also a blind spot in the surveillance.
Just as the two appeared at the corner, they immediately saw this unfamiliar person. Just as they were wondering about it, the person who couldn't drink water noticed that the stranger was holding an open bottle of water!
He was startled and didn't even get a word out before he hurriedly turned to leave. But even though he reacted quickly, he still couldn't escape.
Right in front of the third person, the combat puppet reached out and grabbed the collar of the person who was trying to run away, pulling him forcefully towards itself. Then, it shoved the mouth of the water bottle in its hand into the person's mouth and roughly poured water into his mouth. Under such conditions, even if he didn't want to drink, he was forced to drink a few mouthfuls of water.
After confirming that he had filled the water bottle, the combat puppet grabbed the bottle and ran away. He was extremely fast and even managed to evade the surveillance cameras in front of him with a very difficult maneuver, eventually disappearing from their sight.
The person who was forced to drink the water slowly knelt on the ground, then covered his neck, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground, taking his last breath.
Xue Rui also received a timely system notification, having earned another ten million points. Now he only needs one more.
The combat puppet pushed open the door from the stairwell and walked over. Xue Rui put the puppet into his backpack, leaving only a water bottle. Lin Leyou took out his own bottle cap, closed the water bottle, and then put it into his backpack.
"For the last one, the death rule prohibits laughing wildly. Two friends have died in a row, so this one should be quite difficult. Should we give up?"
Xue Rui: "Give up."
The two immediately retrieved their mechanical spiders, which they needed to use in many places. Since they had given up on each other, they certainly couldn't waste them here.
Lin Leyou, "So, are you planning to go see the person you met at the mall, or the person who fished with the little turtle outside?"
Xue Rui: "Let's go check out the one in the mall first. We haven't discovered the other party's death rules yet."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's go."
The two took a car to the neighborhood where the man lived again. The man who had just been flooded to death had indeed been killed. There was only one other person at the scene, the one whose death rule was that he could not laugh wildly.
At this moment, he was constantly explaining that he didn't do it, but that a stranger did it, and that after giving his friend water, the stranger ran off in a certain direction, leaving no time to react.
However, the police who had arrived did not believe his one-sided story and directly handcuffed him and took him away.
The man in red stood nearby, looking at the corpse on the ground. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. So what if it was killed by the rules?
How could the police not know whether this person was killed by the rules? They certainly knew, but they still took this person away. What does that prove?
Just kidding. In a country governed by rules, even police officers, aside from the legitimate red-clad individuals, are required to comply with the tenth rule!
However, the police station cannot arbitrarily search for targets outside and directly attack them like other NPCs, so they can only use this method to randomly select targets.
Anyway, as long as they died according to the rules, they are not considered criminals. Of course, the investigation should still be carried out properly. The body will be sent to a special place for examination, and according to the procedure, it will take three days to get the results.
Therefore, this person will be detained for a maximum of three days, no more. If they want to take action against this person, they should do so within three days; otherwise, they will have to release him.
At this moment, the person targeted by Lin Leyou and Xue Rui was at home chatting and texting on his phone, "We've arrived! Have you all arrived?"
"Don't worry, it's all in place."
"Really? This time, two of them are against me..."
"It's alright, anyway, the death rules you revealed were fake, so what are you worried about?!"
He thought about it and realized he was right. "You're right. What am I worried about?"
Lin Leyou looked at the little hamster he was carrying. "You know, this little hamster has been following us the whole time, hasn't it...?"
Xue Rui: "Indeed, it can sometimes affect our operations."
Although the hamster is very small, its rustling sounds can still be heard, especially by people with good hearing, such as the two of them.
Lin Leyou said, "We can't leave it outside; that would be considered throwing away trash."
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "The person who deliberately lost the turtle before..."
He thought of the person who had tried to use the rules to kill them.
Lin Leyou said, "He deliberately lost the little turtle, but as long as it's within a certain range, it doesn't count as breaking the rules. So why did he say he'd give it to you? You can't eat the little turtle."
Xue Rui said, "If you give it to me, the little turtle won't be considered his property, and even if it gets lost, it won't be considered a violation of his rules."
"Later... I suspect he has a hidden way to make the turtle in my hand keep running away, so that we would be the ones breaking the rules."
Lin Leyou blinked. "You mean, this little turtle can run by itself?"
Xue Rui: "Very likely, after all, we're not going to eat this turtle."
Lin Leyou nodded, "You're right. After all, if he gives it to you, you can't just throw it away. You can only take it home, and once you take it home, the little thing will quietly slip away."
