Chapter 690 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou examined his mind and found it to be completely blank. If he were playing the role of an NPC, he would definitely have the NPC's memories in this instance, even if only a part of them.
But there's nothing right now, which means... my identity is the same as the player's.
It's okay, anyway, his appearance is completely different from his original self now, so it won't cause any trouble if someone sees him. But where is Xue Rui?
He tried to contact Xue Rui with his ring, but Xue Rui did not respond.
Since that's the case, Lin Leyou decided to look around first, maybe he could find other people. He looked around and found a path behind the big tree. It was probably a very inconspicuous path formed by people walking on it often. He walked along the path.
After walking for about half an hour, we finally saw a wide river in the distance. Following the river downstream, we could see some small hills and forests ahead.
He could even see wisps of smoke rising from behind the trees. He sniffed the air and smelled the aroma of food. So now the question was, was he a villager of this village?
If so, where do you live? If not, would it be taboo to trespass into a village? If you break any rules, could you be killed?
The system didn't give any hints, he didn't know what the main quest was, and he didn't even know if he was playing an NPC or completing a level like other players.
However, the lack of any memory suggests that this might be the player's identity, but it cannot be confirmed with absolute certainty.
Just then, Lin Leyou saw a figure appear in the village in the distance. It was a woman wearing a white top, a red skirt, and a high ponytail. Judging from the speed at which she walked, she seemed a little anxious.
But when the other person saw him standing there from afar, she actually waved at him. Lin Leyou did not respond, but stood there and looked at her.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and instead quickly ran towards him. Lin Leyou was cautious, but he didn't avoid her and just waited for her to come to him.
"Ayou, you're finally back. It's so late. If you hadn't come back soon, it would have been dangerous."
As she spoke, she reached out to tug at Lin Leyou's sleeve. Lin Leyou paused for a moment, but did not pull away. She pulled Lin Leyou toward the woods, saying, "Hurry up, it's getting dark soon. If we can't get home by then, we'll be dragged away by monsters in the night."
Lin Leyou felt something was wrong. When he woke up on the other side of the tree, it was around noon. It only took him about half an hour to walk from there to here. How could it be dark so quickly?
The woman tugged at Lin Leyou, but he didn't move, nor did he even look at her. Instead, he was staring into the distance. "Ayou, what are you looking at? Hurry up! We're going to be late..."
Lin Leyou decided to follow her first, since staying here wouldn't lead to any further discoveries; this place was just a meadow, and only by going to the village could they learn more about other things.
The woman continued to pull him forward, saying, "Right, hurry up, hurry up!"
Hearing her speak so cheerfully, Lin Leyou suddenly stopped, causing the woman in front of him to stop as well. "Why did you stop again? Hurry up, it's getting dark!"
Lin Leyou looked at the sky, where the sun was still high in the sky. Then his gaze fell on the woman's face, and he was certain that he had never seen this woman before.
So this woman is someone I know from my current identity?
She became increasingly anxious, pulling at Lin Leyou with increasing force. He could almost hear the clothes she was pulling on screaming as if they were about to be torn apart.
Lin Leyou's intuition told him not to leave with this woman, so he stood still and did not move, no matter how much the woman pulled at him.
They remained in this stalemate for half an hour before the woman glared at him resentfully. "You're really ungrateful! Since you don't want to come with me, then don't blame me!"
The woman, who had just been smiling and gentle, suddenly threw off Lin Leyou's clothes. In that instant, the sun, which had been hanging high in the sky, suddenly appeared on the horizon, and he could even see the sunset.
This is……
Lin Leyou looked around but didn't see the woman from before; she had vanished into thin air.
Lin Leyou was a little worried, so he took out a branch of the thousand-year-old peach tree from his backpack and slowly moved away from the village hidden in the woods.
He had only walked for less than two minutes when most of the sunset had disappeared, and it was getting dark, but no stars or moon appeared in the sky.
In other words, it was pitch black outside after dark. Fortunately, he was physically strong and could roughly see the outside at night, but he didn't know where the woman had gone.
After dark, Lin Leyou did not rush off in any other direction. Instead, he cautiously waved the peach branch in his hand around, but nothing happened.
It seemed like it was just getting dark, and he didn't see the monster in the night that the woman had mentioned. Wait... could this monster be the woman herself?
As the last ray of light disappeared completely on the horizon, Lin Leyou suddenly felt a sharp pain in the hand holding the peach branch!
He subconsciously switched the peach branch in his hand to his other hand, but as soon as his other hand grasped the branch, he also experienced a sharp pain.
He immediately put the peach branch into his backpack. Just then, he discovered that his night vision had become extremely strong. In the pitch-black night, he could see everything around him as clearly as during the day, even more clearly than during the day.
Just then, Lin Leyou also noticed the difference in himself. He seemed to have turned into a monster. His hands, which had just been holding peach branches, had turned pitch black, and one layer of them had even been charred.
It has to be said that Lin Leyou felt that the monster he had transformed into was at least top-tier in strength. After all, the ghosts and monsters he had encountered before dared not approach this peach tree branch, and even if they did, they would disappear after being whipped.
But even with both hands, this is the best he can do. The burns on his hands are gradually healing, and at this rate, it will take about an hour.
Just then, a woman's voice came from behind him, "So you were fighting over food. I was wondering why you didn't come in with me! But since you got hurt by your own things, you're a fool too."
The voice has changed drastically. Just a moment ago it was a sweet woman's voice, but now it's a monster's roar mixed with a hint of a woman's voice.
He didn't turn around rashly. First, he observed himself. His hands were pale, but black bone patterns appeared on the surface of his skin. Judging from the patterns, they should correspond to the bones under his skin.
His fingernails had turned pitch black, and if he wasn't mistaken, there was a tiny bit of blue light within the blackness—it was poisonous, and highly poisonous at that.
It wasn't just his hands that turned deathly pale; the rest of his skin also turned deathly pale, as if he had suddenly transformed from a living person into a bizarre corpse.
"Why don't you turn around and look at me? I look even better now than I did during the day! Don't you men, whether you're dead or alive, all like beautiful women?"
Lin Leyou thought to himself, "What a pity, I don't like women."
He took out a mirror and looked at himself. He still looked like a human, but his eyes were completely black, the whites of his eyes had disappeared, and there was a jet-black tattoo on his forehead that looked very mysterious; he had never seen it before.
That's about it; the changes are minimal.
However, Lin Leyou could clearly feel that his body had lost its temperature, heartbeat, and pulse, becoming a completely dead monster. He just didn't know what his mission as a monster was...
Could it be that they're going to kill all the players?
But what about the players? Where are the players in this instance? There needs to be a place where humans can gather, otherwise, what can we do?
The female monster remained behind Lin Leyou, but she never went around to face him; she just kept bewitching him from behind.
Lin Leyou, however, was not buying it. He still had many things to figure out, such as whether or not this monster could be killed.
Is this a colleague or someone else?
But... even if he doesn't kill him, he's still annoying. He keeps muttering and muttering behind him, repeating the same things over and over, and he'll also come close to Lin Leyou to harass him.
Moreover, what she said was of no help to Lin Leyou; it was all nonsense and had nothing to do with the current situation. After Lin Leyou tried to contact Xue Rui again, suppressing his frustration, but still received no response, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and took out his Soul-Splitting Blade.
But instead of acting immediately, they waited silently.
As expected, the female monster didn't sense anything amiss. Instead, she continued to approach him from both sides, using her deep, feminine voice to entice him to turn around.
Just as her voice appeared on the right again, Lin Leyou dreamed of swinging a knife towards his right rear!
At this angle, she had turned about halfway around, and with that one strike, the female monster could no longer maintain her melodious and seductive voice, letting out a mournful cry that echoed across the wilderness.
Lin Leyou closed his eyes and relied entirely on his other senses to locate the female monster. Fortunately, her screams were very piercing, which made her location much easier to find.
Taking advantage of the fact that the female monster had not yet recovered from the intense pain and was still screaming in agony, Lin Leyou decisively swung three more swords in that direction.
