Chapter 626 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui looked at the residential complex ahead. "Is that the house? Shall we go over there now?"
The mechanical spiders had already been arranged over there. Lin Leyou noticed that the other person had just left the room. "He went out."
Xue Rui, "How is it?"
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Something feels off. Let's not get too close for now and wait a bit."
Xue Rui thought so too, so the two of them waited until 6:30 in the evening.
After waiting for so long, this person actually went out and took a walk in the neighborhood below, instead of going back.
At this point, Lin Leyou subconsciously touched the ring and secretly told Xue Rui, "Something's not right."
Xue Rui's expression remained unchanged. "Something's definitely not right. Shall we leave?"
Lin Leyou: "Then let's go to the other person's side?"
Xue Rui: "We don't know the rules of his death yet, so going there now is pointless. Should we go home?"
Lin Leyou said, "Okay, I'll take you hunting tomorrow for the two you're missing."
Xue Rui said, "Don't go to sleep before midnight. Tomorrow will be the third day. Once tomorrow is over, you won't be subject to the second rule."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's go."
The two of them stood outside until 6:30, and then just left. People taking a walk in the neighborhood were furious when they heard the news. "What's going on? Weren't they here to deal with me?"
"They're leaving already? Are they playing me for a fool?!"
"What did you say? I was too obvious and they discovered me? Why don't you say this was a plan we discussed together?!"
"Alright, alright, stop shirking responsibility, okay? Tell me what to do now! Tell me!"
He stood quietly and listened to the person on the other end of the phone for a while, then his expression gradually calmed down. "Is that okay? This will take a long time, and I don't want to use that method until the very end."
"Go yourselves if you want to. I'm definitely saving it for the last two or three days. Alright, don't bother me unless it's important. We'll split up for the next few days. I'll go find trouble with the others first. Neither of them is easy to deal with, and I don't want to confront them directly yet."
"Stop bothering me, go by yourself!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone and went home. He was now an NPC here and also needed to abide by the ten rules, especially the two death rules that belonged to him personally, which he had to pay attention to at all times.
I can't go out tonight. It's already 6:30. I can't go out after 8:00. I have to stay at home and wait until midnight on the third day to go out to run errands. Just to be safe!
The others who had been hiding in another corner also left, but they didn't disperse; instead, they moved to another place to continue their discussion.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui went back to their respective homes and stayed until after midnight before going to their hotel rooms, since it was only the second day and they couldn't wander around.
Xue Rui escorted Lin Leyou, who had lost his resurrection coin, to his doorstep. Only after confirming that Lin Leyou had entered the house did Xue Rui return home. The journey was safe, and he did not encounter any unexpected situations.
The two chatted using their black jade rings while sitting on the same bed in the same home, in the same master bedroom. No one who saw the black jade ring would think it was a communication device.
It seems that even in the Endless World, you probably won't see such an item. Maybe it's only possible if the big boss of Xiushan Village gives it to you personally. What a pity... so far, only they have it.
Moreover, a black jade ring like this is probably unique, just like the Soul-Splitting Dagger. Even if someone reaches the level he and Xue Rui did in the future, the gifts given by the village chief of Xiushan Village will definitely be different from those given to them. There should never be another ring like this again.
Lin Leyou sat on the bed and released all nine mechanical spiders he had retrieved from his body, leaving five to keep watch in various corners of the house so that he would have time to react if anyone came.
The remaining four were released to repeat yesterday's actions, to see if they could find four more NPCs to cause trouble. Everyone in the Kingdom of Rules would look for opportunities to target others at any time. Lin Leyou would not hesitate for a moment when he made his move in this seemingly peaceful instance.
Xue Rui, "Eating?"
Lin Leyou suddenly heard Xue Rui's voice and subconsciously replied, "You've already eaten, haven't you?"
Xue Rui: "We ate a little too early before, now we can eat a little more."
Lin Leyou said, "If you want to eat... when you come at midnight, I'll buy some things at the night market downstairs and bring them to the hotel. How about I eat in front of you?"
Xue Rui: "That's fine."
Lin Leyou stopped mentioning that and started talking about what had just happened. "That person... his name is Qian Yujin. He is unemployed, but his parents send him living expenses every month. His parents are not particularly rich. They run a breakfast shop. He spends his days either at home or out playing."
Xue Rui, "Qian Yujin... the rules of death he revealed..."
Lin Leyou said, "According to the rules of death I observed from my mechanical spider, you can't jump, but now it seems that this is probably false."
Xue Rui said, "There were other people watching us. I felt it as soon as I got out of the car."
Lin Leyou said, "Indeed, it's much more obvious than last time. Last time, we only vaguely felt that something was wrong, but this time... they're not even willing to pretend anymore?"
Xue Rui said, "Since the personal death rule we observed in secret is fake, let's put it aside for now and look at the others first."
Lin Leyou, "How's that one you're keeping an eye on going?"
Xue Rui checked the area where he had placed the turtle as bait. After returning home, he put the turtle in a glass tank and, after eating, was now teasing it through the glass.
But the little turtle didn't react at all and just stayed inside without moving.
Xue Rui: "We haven't received any relevant information yet; we'll probably have to wait."
Lin Leyou said, "I released four more mechanical spiders. If you can't find them over there, I can cast a wide net here. It would be strange if you still have two left. If there are more, we can share them. After all, killing one rewards ten million points, which is a rare opportunity."
Xue Rui: "No problem, ten is enough to secure our position, any more will be a bonus."
While chatting with Lin Leyou, he checked the situation in his home, especially the kitchen items, such as seasonings. He only had three mechanical spiders left; the two he had collected during the day had been released again, and now he only had some monitoring balls left.
He did leave some surveillance cameras at home, but these cameras could only move; their other functions were no different from normal surveillance cameras.
In other words, as long as there are tools and means, there are ways to prevent his surveillance ball from capturing the real footage, which means... the surveillance ball he left at home may not have played its true role.
Before inspecting the kitchen, he checked every corner of the house to make sure there was nothing suspicious before he picked up the spice box from the kitchen.
Upon opening the small box containing salt, it did seem to contain some extra items, but he couldn't be sure. However, a moment later, he noticed the difference.
When I checked this salt box last time, I specifically shook it to smooth out the small indentation I'd made with a spoon, but now the center seems a bit too high...
He dipped his finger in the powder on the surface and examined it carefully. Then he opened the invalid rule card, tasted it with the tip of his tongue, and found it to be sweet.
Of course, he only tasted it and would never swallow it. He immediately rinsed his mouth with the prepared warm water more than ten times to make sure that no sugar residue remained before turning off the prop card.
It really is candy!
This means that during the day, someone did indeed sneak into his house and put white sugar in his salt box while he was away.
Moreover, this white sugar is not simply white sugar. After all, there is a difference between white sugar granules and salt granules, and anyone who knows how to cook can definitely tell the difference.
These people had ground the white sugar into powder.
Once it's thrown in, you really can't tell at first glance. If you're cooking at home without paying close attention, you'll definitely get caught in the trap.
Xue Rui acted as if he hadn't noticed anything, took out the seasonings he had prepared earlier from his bag, and made himself some late-night snacks or small treats to eat with Lin Leyou at the hotel later.
People who come to his house definitely know that he will cook at home, which is why he does this. Fortunately, he personally selects all the ingredients, so there won't be any problems.
Moreover, he and Lin Leyou always go to different places to buy groceries, and they never buy from the same place twice, so it's impossible for those people to make preparations in advance.
Lin Leyou, "Have you cooked?"
Xue Rui: "Um, do you want to eat?"
Lin Leyou: "If we do it now, won't it all be cold by midnight?"
Xue Rui: "Let me make some easy-to-eat food so you can eat it with what you bought at the night market later."
Lin Leyou: "Eat and then sleep? You go to sleep first tonight."
Xue Rui: "...Okay."
It doesn't matter who falls asleep first, the key is whether they get enough sleep.
But then his hand, which was cooking, paused noticeably, not for any other reason than the person who kept the little turtle and was being monitored by the mechanical spider.
While he was talking to the tortoise, he inadvertently blurted out, "Just one more, little darling. Just one more and we'll have the perfect number for this batch! Don't forget, I'm your most loving master. Everyone else is fake; they just want to eat you. Remember to come back. If you don't, your master will be gone forever, understand?"
As he continued talking, he said all of these things, and Xue Rui heard them.
This person's personal death rule is definitely related to this little turtle; once he truly loses the little turtle, he will violate the death rule.
