Chapter 628 [(*^▽^*)]
Upon hearing the knock, the two looked up and exchanged a glance. Xue Rui sat up and said, "I'll go see."
Lin Leyou got up and followed, "Together."
Xue Rui walked to the door and looked out through the peephole, only to see... a stranger. He didn't open the door, but stood inside and asked, "Who is it?"
The unfamiliar man outside the door said, "Hello, I live next door and I'd like to have a chat with you."
Xue Rui said, "It's time to rest. There's nothing to talk about. Let's talk again when it's light."
The other party still refused to leave, saying, "I have something very important to discuss with you."
You... this person even knows that two people live here, which means he saw them before.
Xue Rui: "Just say what's on your mind, we need to rest."
The people outside still wouldn't give up. "I'm with you. I'm here to discuss what's to come. After all, I think you've probably noticed that there are a lot of people on the other side."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui exchanged a glance. The person outside was one of the participants in the instance. Although the other party said so, they could not trust him at will.
After all... NPCs played by residents can also take out props from their backpacks. If someone pretends to be a participant and comes looking for them, and the NPCs believe them, they will definitely suffer a terrible fate.
Xue Rui, "Do you think this is believable?"
Lin Leyou shook his head, "It's not credible for now."
The person outside continued, "I encountered their attack earlier and desperately need teammates now. They are really strong, and I think it would definitely cause problems if we tried to deal with them alone."
Lin Leyou blinked. "It's only the third day. Whatever happens, we can talk about it on the fourth day. Please go back now, we need to rest."
Those outside probably sensed Lin Leyou's firm stance, and this time they didn't choose to continue the argument. "In that case, I'll come back to see you tomorrow. I hope we can have a proper chat then."
He then left, and it was true that he stayed in the suite next door.
Lin Leyou pulled Xue Rui back to the room, saying, "Let's go to sleep."
Xue Rui nodded, carried Lin Leyou back to bed, and the two took turns sleeping until dawn. The main purpose of going out today was to find the remaining two unlucky guys for Xue Rui.
Xue Rui had two mechanical spiders watching the target, but only knew the death rule of one of them. However, Lin Leyou had made a lot of progress. Of the four mechanical spiders he released, two of them had found useful information. Lin Leyou then suggested that they go to the neighborhood where he lived first.
They had just stepped out of the building and hadn't even gone downstairs when they saw a cleaning lady cleaning the hallway. The two of them didn't say much, but pretended not to see her and quickly took the elevator downstairs.
The cleaning lady was wearing a red coat, so was it a red-clad cleaning lady or a cleaning uniform? A red uniform?
When they arrived on the first floor, they saw an even more outrageous scene: all the staff on the first floor had changed into red uniforms, and it was easy to tell that they were all the same style.
Of course, the service staff's uniforms look more refined and better-looking, and the styles are also better, but that can't change the fact that they are red clothes!
"Gentlemen, did you sleep well last night?"
Lin Leyou nodded, then pulled Xue Rui away from the hotel quickly. Fortunately, these people just watched them leave and had no intention of chasing after them.
Lin Leyou, "What do you think?"
Xue Rui: "The eighth rule of the ten rules is that you can't wear red clothes out at night, but it's daytime now, so in theory everyone can wear red clothes out."
Lin Leyou looked at the people coming and going on the street. Almost half of them were wearing red clothes. Some were a little more subtle and wore them underneath with other colored coats on top. But some people were very direct and wore them out in public. They walked around in a swagger. When they met each other, they would talk directly. But usually, the person who spoke first would shut up and leave after saying three sentences.
After all, the person who speaks first will be the fourth to speak, so they can't continue. And if there's no one else around, or if no one else talks to them, they're definitely doomed and have to leave as soon as possible.
This is dangerous. Everyone who comes out wearing red is in danger, but while they themselves are in danger, they may also find opportunities to make others break the rules.
Lin Leyou found it strange, "It's only been three days, and they can't wait any longer."
Xue Rui: "It's only about half, but I estimate there will be more by the fourth day. Why don't we wear red clothes and go out too?"
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. "Does that mean as long as you don't speak directly with your mouth, you're not breaking the rules?"
Xue Rui: "How about we go back and give it a try?"
Lin Leyou thought of the wedding dress in her backpack, which was red. Now she could go back to the hotel and try it on indoors.
Xue Rui was very interested in this. "Let's go back and try it on. It'll save us the trouble of buying a red dress."
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "If I went out in a red dress like that at night, it would probably scare people to death. Of course, it's not suitable for nighttime."
The two returned to the hotel once again, ignoring the staff on the first floor. They went straight back to their suite, and of course, checked every corner of the room first to make sure it was safe before taking out their wedding clothes and putting them on.
Both of them took out their rule invalidation cards and opened them, and then began to talk. When they got to the fourth sentence, they were indeed prompted by the system that they had violated the rules, but because they had the item, the punishment was invalid.
They communicated using the black jade ring again, and this time it went smoothly without breaking the rules. They took out their phones again and typed or sent messages to each other, proving that this would not violate the rules.
Only after completing the experiment did they put everything away.
Lin Leyou said, "It seems... this rule only stipulates that you can't speak more than three sentences, but the other methods are fine, so it's acceptable."
Xue Rui looked at the coat of the wedding dress and asked, "Shall we wear this out today?"
Lin Leyou smiled slightly, "Then so be it."
The couple donned their wedding attire, which was in a traditional style with intricate and elaborate ancient embroidery. Although it looked somewhat luxurious, ...
The two of them looked really good together in their outfits.
When Xue Rui led Lin Leyou out the door, they encountered the same person who had knocked on the door that night on the first floor. Upon seeing the two of them, his eyes lit up and he wanted to come over and talk to them, but he quickly noticed their red clothes and the way they were holding hands.
Moreover, neither of them glanced at him when they left, as if he were invisible.
He thought about it and decided not to chase after them. They said to wait until the fourth day, so it would be the fourth day. It was only the third day now, so he still had to be careful. It would be best to wait until the fourth day.
Lin Leyou subconsciously touched the ring. "Let's go to the neighborhood where I live first. Two of the four mechanical spiders we sent out last night were successful. I just finished collecting ten for you."
Xue Rui glanced at him and silently agreed.
A third of the people on the street were wearing red, and they looked perfectly normal. But even so, the two of them still stood out because their red clothes were long and in an ancient style. They were so luxurious that everyone was envious, especially those who were a couple like them.
Some of the bolder ones came over and struck up a conversation with them, "Hey, please wait a moment! I... I don't know where you ordered your red clothes, could you tell me?"
Xue Rui waved his hand, "This was a gift from a friend. I can't make it or sell it."
After saying that, he took Lin Leyou's hand and left quickly. The people behind them didn't chase after them or stop them from leaving; they just stood behind them and watched the two of them walk away with great envy.
"I said this is so beautiful, I wish we had one too."
"What's the big deal? We've already seen the designs, so we can just go to a high-end couture shop. We can even customize the embroidery patterns we like. Although the patterns on their red dresses are very nice, I still prefer the others."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say. Let's go, we'll go now!"
Lin Leyou, who had already walked away, smiled slightly and communicated with him using the ring, "You really weren't lying."
These two red robes were indeed a gift from a friend, but this friend is different from others; he is the chief of Xiushan Village, a major boss in another instance.
Xue Rui: "I rarely lie."
Lin Leyou led him back into the residential area. The two people who had been targeted had already come downstairs. One of them was sitting on a bench by the river in the middle of the residential area. This woman was also wearing a red dress.
Meanwhile, another man was walking towards where the woman was. He was also wearing red. Could the two of them know each other?
In particular, the man was holding a bouquet of red roses, very beautiful roses.
Lin Leyou and his companion walked to a higher spot some distance away and quietly watched the two people.
Lin Leyou: "The death rule for women is not to accept a man's marriage proposal, and the death rule for men is that they must propose and be rejected at least once a day."
After listening, Xue Rui remained silent for a while before saying, "This..."
Lin Leyou said, "These two are a match made in heaven. I wish they could be together."
Xue Rui said, "But we can't answer for this woman. This man... if we stop him from proposing, are we supposed to lock him up for a day?"
Lin Leyou: "We could drug him and make him sleep all day. Wait, wouldn't drugging him count as feeding him? That would be against the rules, wouldn't it?"
Xue Rui: "Let's wait and see."
The two stopped communicating and focused on the situation in the distance, where Lin Leyou's mechanical spiders were gradually gathering in the shadows.
The man knelt down on one knee upon arriving at the spot, saying, "My beauty, marry me!"
The woman snorted coldly, "No, get out of here!"
The man once again raised the roses in his hand with heartfelt emotion, "Wife, I really love you, please marry me!"
The woman's lips twitched. "Don't yell like that! I already said no, or I'll beat you up if you don't leave!"
