Chapter 631 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui fell silent. He didn't know what to say. Perhaps they already knew they were here, since they only discovered Li Qianqian after following her for two or three minutes.
Perhaps the other party had observed them during this period and did not intend to deal with them for the time being, which is why they focused on following Li Qianqian.
Lin Leyou: "Do you think if we continue to follow him, will he realize that we're also following Li Qianqian? Or will he think we're following him?"
Xue Rui, "Let's move further away."
This time, they didn't seem to be following Li Qianqian; they were just strolling around the mall normally, or perhaps looking for a target.
A few minutes later, they moved a little closer, even coming within five or six meters of the special NPC, and stood outside a shop to buy some snacks.
Just then, the other person turned around and stared at the two of them for a few seconds before shifting their gaze back to Li Qianqian. Very good!
Now they can confirm that this special NPC did indeed know the identities of the participants and did not intend to harm them; it was truly targeting Li Qianqian from before.
Lin Leyou munched on the snacks in his hand and muttered to himself, "I wonder what Li Qianqian's death rules are. If possible, let's get there first. What do you think?"
Lin Leyou: "Of course, we'll wait and see, we're sure we'll find an opportunity."
They didn't follow them any further. After all, there were plenty of surveillance cameras inside the mall, and their mechanical spiders could quietly follow and monitor them without being noticed.
While they were eating, the two of them stayed where they were, found a table and chairs to sit down and rest, and let the special NPC follow Li Qianqian away.
They sat in the rest area in the corner of the second floor, where they could actually see the general area inside the mall. Then they realized that Li Qianqian was wandering around aimlessly, just aimlessly strolling through the mall.
After a while, I went from the second floor to the third floor, walked around on the third floor and then went back to the second floor. Then I went up to the fourth floor, wandered around on the fourth floor for a while and then went straight down to the first floor.
Now I'm on the fifth floor, wandering around and looking at things randomly.
She had no important business here, but the person following her was very patient, showing no signs of impatience despite following her for so long.
Lin Leyou said quietly, "Li Qianqian has discovered him."
Xue Rui smirked, "Let's see who wins."
As a result, they waited for several hours and got a little hungry, but the two of them were still wandering around there, showing no intention of leaving or choosing a restaurant to eat at.
Li Qianqian passed by their rest area another time, but didn't see them at all, perhaps because they were wearing red and had their backs to her.
She merely glanced in her direction as she passed by, then quickly walked away without giving it a second look. Not long after she left, the special NPC also passed by, seemingly casually, but…
Lin Leyou: "This is too obvious. Did he deliberately tell Li Qianqian that he was following her?"
Xue Rui: "He's playing around."
Lin Leyou, "A cunning and treacherous hunter always enjoys watching his prey desperately try to survive, but in the end, he can't escape his grasp, especially the desperate expression on his face when he is caught after running for so long."
Xue Rui, "Indeed..."
Lin Leyou: "This person has a terrible sense of humor. I would never want to know someone like this, and I hope I will never have to work with him in the future."
After all, the ranking list is still there, and he absolutely has to do the volunteer work, hoping to rank high and get some travel vouchers.
The special NPC is now gradually approaching Li Qianqian. Previously, the distance between him and Li Qianqian had been around 200 meters, but now it is close to 150 meters.
Lin Leyou said, "I'm hungry. Let's buy some groceries and cook something to eat."
Xue Rui checked the time. Although it was still a bit early for dinner, it was already late for lunch, and judging from the fact that these two wouldn't be finished anytime soon, they decided to go eat first.
Anyway, there were still two mechanical spiders watching them, so they could get a general idea of what was going on.
Grocery shopping!
After buying groceries, they returned to Xue Rui's house as usual. Just like the previous two days, they cooked dinner and ate outside. While eating, they took off their red clothes and put them into their backpacks.
After all, it would be a bit darker by the time they went to the mall after dinner, and there was no one else around, so their clothing choices would only affect them.
Lin Leyou was finally able to speak freely. Although using the ring to communicate didn't have any impact, it still felt awkward not to speak with her mouth.
How's things at home today?
Xue Rui: "It's the same old story. Something has been tampered with again. This time it's my fault."
Lin Leyou said, "They probably thought the seasoning box had been tampered with, but you weren't affected, so they switched to a different one."
Xue Rui said, "No matter what, I won't get infected."
Lin Leyou said, "It's okay, it's only the third day... As long as we get through tonight's midnight, everything will be fine."
Xue Rui said, "Let's cancel the hotel room reservation. I'll come to your house to find you as soon as midnight strikes."
Lin Leyou: "That's fine, I forgot to check out when I left."
As for the person they met at the hotel? What connection do they have? If he really wanted to cooperate with them, he would have come to them himself.
After dinner, the two cleaned the place up spotless, leaving not a speck of dust. They even carefully checked themselves to make sure they had no trash on them before leaving.
After all, Lin Leyou had used this trick to kill the NPC who owned the dog before. Although the method was insidious, it was very effective.
This time, the two were not wearing red. They came to the mall again, and unsurprisingly, Li Qianqian was still leading that special NPC around inside.
Neither of them planned to go inside. They just found a random spot outside, stood there chatting idly, and waited for the two inside to decide their winner.
Through the mechanical spider, they could see that Li Qianqian, who was walking ahead, had lost her initial composure; fine beads of sweat had appeared on her forehead.
The NPCs following behind remained nonchalant, as if they didn't care about anything.
Li Qianqian suddenly sped up and ran to the first floor, leaving the mall as quickly as possible. As she ran outside, she saw Xue Rui and the other person standing outside.
After the meeting, Lin Leyou and his group remained expressionless, as if they didn't recognize her, but Li Qianqian definitely knew her...
No, they weren't using their own faces in the previous instance, especially since Lin Leyou was the BOSS. Even if they met, they might not recognize each other.
They were able to recognize Li Qianqian because of her words, actions, and unique aura. After all, according to real-world time, it hadn't been that long since they last met in the instance.
After staring at them for a few moments, Li Qianqian suddenly turned around subconsciously and saw that the man behind her had also come out, and he was quite fast.
The distance she had created by surprise just moments ago has now vanished because of her momentary lapse in concentration.
She gritted her teeth and walked towards Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, pitifully whispering, "Hey guys, there's a pervert following me. I've circled the mall several times and still can't shake him off. Can you take me home?"
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui exchanged a glance. So, did Li Qianqian recognize him or not?
Although the faces used in the dungeon were very different from their real faces, and even now, they are still five or six parts different from their original appearances, they can still recognize Li Qianqian. It's possible that Li Qianqian really recognized Xue Rui based on their previous interactions and her resentment at having her purple equipment stolen.
Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised that Li Qianqian had returned to ask for help, but they did not speak immediately. Instead, after she finished speaking, they both openly glanced behind them and looked at the special NPC.
When he realized that all three of them were staring at him, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Then, as if he had thought of something, he turned around and left.
Lin Leyou, "You're saying he was stalking you?"
Li Qianqian noticed the other person leaving and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you both so much. I was being followed and had no other choice. Even if I called the police, there would be no evidence, since he was just following me and hadn't done anything. I was so scared that I came to you for help..."
Finally, Li Qianqian asked, "Could you two take me home? I'm worried he might be waiting for me outside my house."
Lin Leyou said, "If you're careful, he can't really do anything to you, right?"
Li Qianqian, "He's very strong..."
Lin Leyou said, "I mean, he absolutely cannot kill you, so you can go back without worry."
Li Qianqian knew what Lin Leyou meant. In this instance, killing could only be done by using the rules, but she herself had obtained a rule invalidation card by completing the task, and there was no guarantee that others wouldn't get one too!
When that time comes, it will be incredibly easy for this person to kill me!
Lin Leyou pulled Xue Rui's hand and walked to the side, but Li Qianqian was still very scared. She followed, saying, "Wait for me, I... I'm scared! Can you come with me?"
Lin Leyou had already said three sentences. He turned to Xue Rui and asked, "What do you think?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "I'll listen to you."
Li Qianqian paused slightly as she followed them, but quickly caught up. "I'm really begging you. How about I pay you?"
"I won't let you come all this way for nothing, absolutely not!"
Lin Leyou shook his head. "Don't follow us. I just saw him take a taxi and leave. Go back by yourself."
The other person took a taxi and left, but the mechanical spider followed behind, of course, as it was nearing the end of the workday and the number of cars on the road gradually increased.
