Chapter 682 [(*^▽^*)]
They can't replace the glass right now, so they can only repair it. Fortunately, they had applied tape beforehand, so most of the glass shards didn't fly out; they were stuck on the glass. The few that fell on the ground were quickly cleaned up.
Of course, they all saw the rock that had hit the glass and fallen to the ground outside. The squad leader couldn't help but mutter, "If such a big rock hit someone, wouldn't they die on the spot?"
"Alright, continue your patrol. Pay special attention to the windows. If any are broken, notify me immediately and fix them as quickly as possible."
Their people came and went quickly, and soon only Lin Leyou and his colleague No. 1 remained. After everyone else had left, the two began to talk.
Colleague #1: "When he came in just now, I stared at him, but it turned out he was staring at you the whole time."
Lin Leyou naturally noticed that his colleague number two had been staring at him, probably observing his expression and attitude. But unfortunately, whether what he said was true or false made no difference to him.
Even if it were true, or even if the situation were far more terrifying than he described, it wouldn't change Lin Leyou's expression unless something completely unexpected happened.
So how exactly did this dungeon kill so many players?
Colleague Number One patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, what are you doing standing here in a daze?"
Lin Leyou snapped out of his daze. "Let's go, this way."
The two quickly left, leaving behind only a broken-looking piece of glass and a small shard of glass that they had overlooked, reflecting light during the thunder and lightning outside.
It's been four days already, and he's already off work, but there haven't been any deaths. After changing out of his work clothes, Lin Leyou met up with Xue Rui again. The moment they saw each other, they knew that neither of them had gained anything. Everything was calm in the hotel; the players were all alive, and no staff members had died.
Xue Rui took him to eat first, and only after they finished eating did they return to their room on the fifth floor.
Lin Leyou said, "If there's no reaction on the fourth day, I guess we'll have to wait until the last day to give you a big one."
Xue Rui: "This instance will last a total of five days. We arrived on the island at 8 o'clock on the first day, which means the end time is tomorrow... no, the day after tomorrow at 8 o'clock."
Lin Leyou, “So…”
Xue Rui said, "I think there's a high probability that nothing will happen tomorrow. The real incident will definitely happen between midnight and 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow."
Lin Leyou, "Are you sure?"
Xue Rui shook his head, "I can't be sure, but it's probably true."
Lin Leyou: "Then doesn't that mean we don't have to do anything now?"
Xue Rui said, "No, if you want to kill all the players in the hotel in a short period of time, you absolutely cannot treat the players differently."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "You mean, the person behind this will target everyone in the hotel and kill them indiscriminately?"
Xue Rui said, "Only in this way can we be quick, leave no trace, and avoid being caught by players who might try to escape with the staff."
Lin Leyou, "You're right, so... there was a bomb planted in the hotel?"
When the time comes, everyone in the hotel will be blown away, and the island may even be sunk. There will definitely be no survivors.
Unless you can fly...
However, Lin Leyou looked out at the storm and realized that flying was definitely not an option, given the strong winds and rain, and the occasional lightning strikes. Therefore, the safest option was a submarine.
Xue Rui: "A bomb... that's not impossible, but maybe it's poison or poison gas."
Lin Leyou said, "But after so many days... apart from us, the other players must have turned the entire hotel upside down. It's impossible that no one noticed."
Xue Rui said, "Then this thing must be hidden somewhere that no one can detect, or it's in the dark."
Lin Leyou, "You mean, something that can kill everyone is right in front of us, something we see every day, but we can't connect it with death at all?"
Xue Rui: "This is my opinion."
Lin Leyou said, "It's very mind-bending. I'm starting to believe the possibility of the sacrificial ritual that the NPC mentioned. Maybe the witch doctor used magical witchcraft to make us all die naturally without pain, and then sacrificed everyone's hearts to the big boss behind the scenes."
"What we need to do now is to find the witch doctor who is hiding in the hotel, disguised as an ordinary person. This witch doctor could be a staff member or a tourist."
"No one stipulates that all tourists are 100% players. There may be some imposters hiding among them, which can influence the players' judgment."
Xue Rui, "So you mean the mastermind is hidden among the staff, and the witch doctor is hidden among the players? Or maybe the opposite?"
Lin Leyou: "What I mean is, anyone could be."
Xue Rui: "Should we go and test the waters?"
Lin Leyou shook his head. "I doubt we can find out by testing. I'm sure other players have thought of the possibility that there might be a ghost among the players, but even with over three hundred players acting at the same time, they couldn't find it. So it's even less likely that the two of us, who don't have any identification tools, could find it. Let's just wash up and go to bed."
This was the first time Xue Rui had been completely useless in a dungeon, and he felt somewhat frustrated. "Wait?"
Lin Leyou said, "Without any clues, what can we do but wait? Let's rest. Don't eat supper tonight. Just wait in the room and see if any clues will come to us on their own."
Xue Rui was somewhat unwilling, but there was no other way but to do as Lin Leyou said.
However, he didn't give up after all and went out again at 10 p.m. Lin Leyou didn't care and let him go. When he came back, it was almost 11 p.m., and he was carrying some takeout boxes, which were full of delicious food.
Lin Leyou, "Did you find anything?"
Xue Rui shook his head. "No, let's eat."
Lin Leyou didn't discourage him. Judging from his expression, he knew he hadn't gained anything. It was more important to eat first, and he should recover after he finished eating.
After finishing their meal, Xue Rui pulled Lin Leyou into the bathroom for a kiss and a hug. He had a cold face but was seeking comfort, and Lin Leyou didn't refuse. In any case, they didn't go all the way.
Lin Leyou lay on the bed, leaning against Xue Rui's chest. It was now 1 a.m., and this was the fifth day. After today, the dungeon would end at 8 a.m. tomorrow.
Very soon... really very soon, the dungeon is almost over, and the final, devastating attack could appear at any moment, perhaps catching everyone off guard.
Unsurprisingly, no one died until Lin Leyou woke up, had breakfast, and changed into his work uniform to gather in the lobby again.
Lin Leyou saw that the players along the way were not relaxed or smiling, but rather very nervous, with grim faces. Everyone had a premonition that things were in big trouble.
Colleague Number One pulled him away, saying, "Don't just stand there, let's go, this way."
Lin Leyou then came to his senses and followed him. Their patrol route was relatively remote, but they did not expect to run into colleague number two, who was standing alone at the corner ahead.
Colleague Number One paused for a moment after seeing him, then looked behind him. "Why are you alone? Where's your partner?"
He shook his head. "They're in the back. We'll meet up there later."
After he finished speaking, his gaze fell on Lin Leyou, staring straight at her without getting any closer.
Lin Leyou didn't speak, waiting for the other party to speak first.
Colleague Number One looked back and forth between them, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, so he just stood next to Lin Leyou, giving off a feeling of subtly protecting him from behind. As a partner, he was not bad.
Then it was colleague number two who couldn't hold back any longer, "Didn't you think about anything else?"
Lin Leyou, "You mean... you're the witch doctor? Or you're the boss?"
The other person probably genuinely didn't expect Lin Leyou to have such thoughts in his mind. "What are you saying?!"
Lin Leyou looked puzzled, frowning innocently. "Isn't that right?"
"Of course not!" he exclaimed angrily. "How could you think of me like that?"
Lin Leyou: "But... if it wasn't you, how would you know so much?"
Their conversation confused Colleague Number One, who was standing to the side, but he quickly realized that Lin Leyou was just acting!
Well, at first he really didn't realize it was acting. This acting is truly amazing. He thought there was a real witch doctor.
Colleague Number Two was speechless for a moment, unsure how to explain the situation. "I...didn't I already say it was through special channels..."
Lin Leyou, "So, although you're not the witch doctor or the boss, you're an accomplice to evil, one of their subordinates, which is why you know so much?"
Colleague Number Two stopped talking to Lin Leyou and left angrily, looking like he was fleeing in panic.
After he left, Colleague Number One smiled and said, "You acted really well just now."
Lin Leyou: "Really? Thank you for the compliment."
Actually, it was also to test the other party, but judging from his appearance, at least the other party was neither a witch doctor nor the boss behind him, so... we still need to wait a little longer.
Lin Leyou rarely saw Xue Rui during his daytime patrols. Perhaps due to the time constraints, Xue Rui was working harder and being more meticulous than in the previous days.
However, when Lin Leyou finished work, his colleague No. 1 handed him a red envelope and said, "This is the red envelope I promised you before."
The red envelope I promised him?
Lin Leyou thought carefully before remembering what had happened on the first day. She squeezed the thin red envelope and said, "Thank you."
There shouldn't be anything there, and his men are fine too.
He casually stuffed the red envelope into his pocket and left. His main concern now was something else, especially since he hadn't found anything after a day of patrolling.
