Chapter 637 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui, "Shouldn't they have a rule that they must kill us using the rules?"
Lin Leyou: "Definitely. If they were using props or violence, they would probably have already attacked by now. What do you think?"
Xue Rui said, "The sooner the participants are killed, the faster they complete the task and the more system rewards they can get, all of which are taken from the dead participants."
Lin Leyou looked out the window. When he had just drawn back the curtains, he saw that it was windy outside, very windy, and the trees in the community's greenery were being blown about.
But when he looked outside, he discovered that it was snowing!
"It's snowing..."
In his past life, he had only ever seen snow on television. He spent his entire life in the south, from birth to death, spanning several decades, and he had never seen real snow.
Of course, I've seen it many times in dungeons throughout my life.
They went to the window to look outside. Xue Rui was somewhat surprised, "It really is snowing, but how could this be..."
Lin Leyou knew what he meant by "impossible," considering that the temperature outside was quite warm yesterday, probably at the transition between summer and autumn.
But now... I never expected winter to arrive so suddenly.
He subconsciously took out his phone and started scrolling through today's news, only to find that no one was mentioning snow.
At this moment, Xue Rui pointed out the window, "Look at the distance."
Lin Leyou stared at it for a long time, but couldn't find anything wrong. "What's wrong?"
Xue Rui: "Don't you have mechanical spiders outside? Take a look through them."
Lin Leyou has two mechanical spiders outside, one with the special NPC and the other with Li Qianqian. Xue Rui also has two outside, one with the special NPC who raises little turtles and the other with Li Qianqian.
When Lin Leyou opened his eyes again, he said in surprise, "It didn't snow in either of those places. What's going on? How can it snow in parts of a city in a country governed by rules?"
Xue Rui: "It's probably the effect of the props; someone attacked us."
Only then did Lin Leyou remember what the man in red had said to her last night. So that's how it was.
Xue Rui, "What?"
Lin Leyou sneered, "Let's go, let's go out. Stay close to me to avoid being attacked. Oh, and take all the weapons with you, there might be a fierce battle later."
Xue Rui: "We really need to go out, so that if a fight breaks out later, the houses here won't be destroyed."
Lin Leyou sneered, "It's not that bad. After all, if it were a dilapidated house, that would be a violation of the ninth rule of the Ten Rules: maintaining the cleanliness of the environment of the rule-making country."
Xue Rui said, "This can't be avoided by simply activating the rule invalidation card. If it's not cleaned up and restored to its original state, it will still be killed by the rules after the rule invalidation card's effect is deactivated."
However, the two still did not intend to destroy their home. After leaving a surveillance ball and some mechanical spiders inside, they opened the door, went outside, and then went up to the rooftop.
Standing on the rooftop, Lin Leyou looked into the distance and saw that the entire residential area was shrouded in a blizzard, but outside the community walls, the weather was normal.
However, the other residents in the community who were walking around outside did not notice the heavy snow, and people passing by outside the community also seemed to see nothing.
Lin Leyou: "Such a grand display of props, and only the two of us can see them?"
He grabbed a handful of snow and squeezed it; the snow had all melted, and his hands felt icy cold. "I feel a bit cold. Should I go back and put on more clothes?"
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "No need, just wait for them."
He casually took out his gold-plated, gem-encrusted weapon, an empty blade, and concealed the Soul-Splitting Dagger in his sleeve, securing it so he could draw it out and slash at the enemy when needed.
As for Xue Rui, he took out his blood-sucking dagger and hid it in his sleeve, just like Lin Leyou. After tying it up, he took out his Blood Shadow Gun, which was the weapon that caused real damage.
The bullets for this gun are purchased with points. You don't need to add bullets yourself; the gun will automatically fill with bullets after the points are deducted, and you can fire it immediately.
Lin Leyou: "I haven't seen how effective your gun is yet."
He had never actually used the Bloodlight Sword in his own hand, but it wasn't really suitable for the present situation.
Xue Rui and his companion walked along the edge of the rooftop, seemingly observing whether anyone was going to attack them, but they waited there for a long time without finding anyone.
Lin Leyou frowned. "What's going on? Isn't this just a scheme to trap us? Why aren't you making a move?"
Xue Rui released all the surveillance cameras he had retrieved. More than twenty cameras flew around the neighborhood quietly, but no abnormalities were detected.
Lin Leyou suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone and sent some messages to a number he had saved long ago. Then he pulled Xue Rui to a corner of the rooftop.
Xue Rui looked down and saw the lakeside in the community. There was a familiar bench there. If he remembered correctly, on that day, the couple had completed their respective death rules there. No, it was the woman who helped the man complete the other's death rules.
Looking at the time, there's still some time before that point. They can wait here. Anyway, it's not very cold, and it seems that the snow and wind... aren't that powerful yet.
The two waited quietly for about twenty minutes, and the woman they had seen yesterday morning appeared on time near the bench. She sat there waiting, just like before.
After waiting for about two or three minutes, the man appeared, still holding a bright red rose. Upon seeing the woman sitting in front of him, he smiled, quickly ran over, knelt on one knee, raised the red rose in his hand, and looked at her with deep affection. "Beautiful lady, I really like you so much. Will you marry me?"
In the past, a woman would definitely have refused immediately, and if she was in a bad mood, she would have even cursed him out. But today, she didn't refuse him right away; instead, she turned around and stared at him for a long time.
The man was taken aback by this scene. He didn't know what was going on. They had been chatting on their phones fine before he left, but now...
Although he didn't know what had happened, he vaguely sensed that something was wrong. But since he had already spoken, he had to wait for the other party's response before he could continue.
To his surprise, his ominous premonition actually came true.
After staring at him for a while, the woman in front of him suddenly grinned, revealing a somewhat terrifying smile, her eyes appearing extremely ferocious.
"Okay, I'll marry you."
Her face was terrifying, but the words she spoke were leisurely, melodious, and pleasant to hear.
But when the man heard the sound, he didn't find it pleasant at all. Instead, he looked terrified. He flung the red rose out of his hand, and the blood-red petals fell onto the white snow, looking like clusters of blood.
He roared hysterically at the woman, but she didn't react at all. Instead, she returned to her previous calm and sat steadily on the bench.
In just four or five seconds, the man clutched his neck and collapsed to the ground in a disheveled state, like a chicken being strangled. He rolled around in the snow, but seemed completely oblivious to the wind and snow.
His death was extremely distorted, but the woman died peacefully leaning against the bench, looking as beautiful as she had in life.
Logically speaking, this woman died because of this man, and this man died because of this woman, but the cause and effect lies with Lin Leyou, so he still received 20 million points.
Xue Rui saw a man in red appear, and noticed that he glanced in their direction, then pulled Xue Rui back two steps. They stopped only when the man was out of sight. "How is it?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "I received 20 million points, so that counts. I didn't expect this woman to actually throw herself into this situation just because a man is dating her best friend."
Xue Rui said, "Her love is somewhat twisted, but if nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to live a smooth life."
Lin Leyou said, "Forget about that, I just saw the man in red. Let's go find him and ask him."
Xue Rui, “Remember, no more than three sentences.”
Lin Leyou: "I know, let's go."
The two quickly went downstairs, but when they got near the bench, all that was left were traces of bodies being dragged away in the snow. Neither the man in red nor the two corpses were there.
Lin Leyou said, "We're walking too fast. Let's look around."
So the two of them started searching all over the neighborhood, but they couldn't find it anywhere.
Xue Rui stopped him, "Forget it, if they can't find us, they just don't want us to find them. Let's deal with this snowstorm problem first. I think... that might be more important."
Lin Leyou said, "I didn't feel any threat, so what's the point of this snowstorm? No one else felt anything, or even saw it. It's definitely targeting us specifically."
"But it's not aggressive, so what's the point? To trap us in our apartment complex during a heavy snowfall?"
Even so, they can continue searching for targets within the neighborhood without hindering their operations.
Xue Rui said, "I always felt that there must be some specific purpose behind this."
Lin Leyou held his hand and said, "The snow is too heavy. In our eyes, there is already a centimeter of snow on the ground. If it keeps snowing like this, it may bury the entire community in snow."
Xue Rui: "That's probably impossible."
Lin Leyou suddenly realized something, "This shouldn't be real snow."
Xue Rui said, "I know what you mean, but I think snow is water. Snow falling on the ground and water being sprinkled on the ground should be the same. It doesn't count as damaging the environment."
Lin Leyou touched his chin. "Okay, okay, it doesn't count."
