Chapter 658 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou looked around a few times. "So, now we have nothing to do?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Xue Rui said, "Someone's coming."
Lin Leyou suddenly remembered, "Oh right, Jiang Changdong can't sense our location, but the other surviving NPCs can, so they came to deal with us, didn't they?"
Xue Rui walked over to Lin Leyou, and the two leaned against each other.
Lin Leyou said, "Be careful. If it's the same kind of bullet as before, it might break through my protective energy shield."
Xue Rui: "It's okay, I can avoid it."
Lin Leyou said, "Don't do anything reckless!"
Just as Xue Rui was about to speak, a bullet appeared to his side, heading straight for his temple. Fortunately, Lin Leyou's protective shield blocked it, giving him time to dodge.
They quickly opened the door to the rooftop and went down to the next floor. Inside the building, the other party would have no way of confirming their exact location.
As they moved at great speed, some evil spirits around them who were unable to dodge in time were killed by the peach tree branches waved by Lin Leyou.
Lin Leyou couldn't help but sigh. This peach tree branch was indeed specially made for killing ghosts. If it could be made into a peach wood sword, its power would definitely be even greater.
After this instance ends, there will be a 30-day gap. Aside from the mandatory labor ranking, I will finally have time to find someone to help me with it.
In comparison, the Soul-Splitting Dagger seems somewhat inferior, but it can sever the souls of living people, a feature that the peach branch cannot match.
From this perspective, these props and weapons are relatively balanced.
Lin Leyou held Xue Rui's hand and said, "This special NPC will definitely be keeping a close eye on us for the last half hour."
Xue Rui, "I wonder about Tang Anzhi and the others..."
Lin Leyou said, "Let me try to locate them."
The search for Tang Anzhi yielded no response, nor did the search for Feng Jia and Sheng Yang; they were both dead!
He then located three special NPCs: Qiu Baiyu, Zhang Xing, and Hu Yu. Jiang Changdong was already dead, and although he returned as a ghost, he was no longer a threat.
Lin Leyou: "All of these people are gone."
They tried to locate Jiang Changdong, but found that Jiang Changdong was also unlocatable. Either the evil spirit had disappeared, or he had died and turned into an evil spirit, which made it impossible to locate him.
Xue Rui: "Are we the only two participants left in this instance now?"
Lin Leyou felt a chill run down his spine. "How many special NPCs are left?"
Only now did they realize that the city seemed to have suddenly become quiet, and the many noisy and bustling sounds that used to be there were now gone.
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "Let's go check out the residential area first."
Lin Leyou made a quick decision and controlled the aircraft to fly at low altitude to quickly reach the vicinity of the residential area. After arriving there, they found that the place was still the same as when they left.
Apart from the building that Jiang Changdong and his men destroyed, the rest of the place was completely intact. There was no one outside, which made sense; at this time, anyone still alive must be indoors.
After arriving at this place, Lin Leyou put away the flying vehicle and led Xue Rui to a corner to hide. They did not see the woman in red and did not know where she was.
Lin Leyou thought, "It seems this aunt in red has a lot of influence; no one has made a move here."
Xue Rui: "That was true before, but it's not necessarily true now."
Lin Leyou saw him take out a special prop with a screen, and then realized that it seemed to be used to scan living people. Their location was the center point, and all the red dots around it were living people.
These red dots are all inside buildings, meaning they are ordinary NPCs who are currently staying indoors peacefully. The places where they are hiding are surrounded by buildings, so other special NPCs who want to deal with or attack them must get close to them.
Lin Leyou: "Does it really require getting closer to us to do that?"
Xue Rui thought of the armed helicopters, the tanks he had seen outside that were being operated by someone else, the rocket launchers that were firing from a high place in the distance, and many other heavy weapons.
It has everything!
Xue Rui: "Do we need to keep moving to be safe?"
Lin Leyou said, "Something seems off; it feels too quiet."
Xue Rui: "No one is coming over."
As soon as they finished speaking, the two saw a new red dot appear on the edge of the screen. This red dot was moving towards their location, seemingly walking in the middle of the road, openly and honestly.
Xue Rui: "It's the aunt in red."
The mechanical spiders Lin Leyou sent out also discovered it. "Not bad."
The woman in red was wearing her familiar red clothes. She walked towards us from a distance at her usual pace, looking quite unhurried.
It took her about four or five minutes to walk up to Lin Leyou and the others, as if she had known they were there all along. "Hey, what are you two doing out so late at night?"
"I don't know, is it possible to get into trouble outside? If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my house for a while. Anyway, I have to patrol at night, and no one lives at my house."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui exchanged a glance, and were about to speak when the aunt waved her hand to stop them, "No need to say anything, just come with me, come on, come on!"
They initially wanted to refuse, but wouldn't it be much safer to go to this woman in red's house?
Would that special NPC really dare to attack the red-clothed man's house? From that distance, a cannonball could blow up the house and the man inside.
Lin Leyou said, "Let's go, let's go and take a look."
Seeing this, Xue Rui didn't say anything more and followed the woman in red forward. They walked further and further into the secluded area. It was already close to midnight, and it was very dark outside.
The rest of the city was destroyed, so even the streetlights were out, but this neighborhood still had streetlights on. However, the woman in red led them to the intersection of a road without streetlights.
They stood at the intersection and did not continue forward. At this moment, they realized that this was the same intersection where the woman in red dragged the corpse when they killed the first person here using the rules.
Xue Rui looked at Lin Leyou, who then casually took out a flashlight and turned it on.
With the light of the flashlight, they could see the entire alleyway clearly, and once they saw it clearly, the creepy feeling from before seemed to disappear.
The woman in red said, "It does look much brighter here. Come on, come inside, follow me. My home is not far inside."
Xue Rui secretly used the ring to tell Lin Leyou, "There are more red dots now, and they're heading this way very fast."
Lin Leyou immediately took his hand and walked into the alley. If someone were outside now, they would see that the flashlight beam that could be seen just now disappeared after the two of them entered the alley.
But Lin Leyou and Xue Rui didn't notice anything unusual as they walked into the alley. They followed the woman in red and walked in until they were about halfway through. The woman in red stopped and pointed to the door on her right. "This is my house. You can go in."
Lin Leyou stared at the door before him. There wasn't even a keyhole, let alone a doorknob. So how did he open it? Did he push it open or pull it open? Or...?
The woman in red said, "Oh dear, you all need to go inside quickly. I have to go on patrol later. Tonight is really not peaceful, and there are many places that I need to keep an eye on."
Lin Leyou took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard what sounded like footsteps coming from the alley entrance. He instinctively moved his flashlight in that direction, and the alley instantly became bright again.
There was nothing there, and no one there.
Lin Leyou thought he had misheard, but Xue Rui used the black jade ring to tell him that there were two red dots outside the alley. If the location of the red dots was correct, then they should be able to see each other if they shone their flashlights on them.
But they couldn't see anything at that moment. Could they be in the sky?
Lin Leyou raised his flashlight and shone it into the air, but there was nothing there. It couldn't be his younger brother who fell down!
The display screen in Xue Rui's hand did indeed show the two red dots. He had rushed over here and was still standing at the entrance of the alley, but for some reason, he was standing there motionless.
Lin Leyou: "Fifteen minutes left."
Xue Rui checked the time. Indeed, it would be midnight in fifteen minutes, at which point they would be able to successfully clear the 3S difficulty dungeon.
I just don't know if we can really get through those last fifteen minutes safely.
Lin Leyou sensed something was wrong. He pulled Xue Rui closer, and the two of them moved even closer together. The protective energy shield enveloped them both, which made them much safer.
The woman in red said, "Why aren't you going in yet? I can't waste any more time."
Lin Leyou reached out and knocked on the door, but there was no response. He was actually testing the woman in red to see if she would realize that she was supposed to open the door for them.
Unfortunately... the woman in red seemed not to hear the knocking or see him knocking at the door. "Hurry up and come in, don't waste time!"
She kept urging them, but it was unclear what she was urging them to do. How were they supposed to get in with the door closed? Break down the door? Just kidding, wouldn't the woman in red take action if they did that?
If the woman in red makes a move, where will they go? If they run out, they'll definitely have to go outside her patrol area, so what will they encounter once they're outside?
Those two relentless special NPCs will continue to hunt them down until the very last moment, and will not stop until they are dead.
Of course, it's okay if the mission fails now, since failure only deducts 1 billion points. They already have over 10 billion points, so losing 1 billion isn't a big deal.
But they were all unwilling to accept it.
Lin Leyou once again reached out and knocked on the door in front of the woman in red, indicating that the door was not open.
