Chapter 709 [(*^▽^*)]
"Cunning! So cunning! The second one should be mine!"
"What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? Everything is mine! Don't think that just because you can use the things in my backpack, I'll acknowledge you. In my eyes, you're nothing but a fake!"
Thus, the person with two weapons was clearly much stronger, and killed the other one without much effort. Now, the main event was about to begin.
He held two weapons and stared at the corpse before him. "Heh heh, did you really think I was a fool? A fake, thinking it was the real me?"
"Now that I've killed you, my mission should be complete, right?"
He waited happily for the system notification, but unfortunately, instead of receiving the notification that the task was completed, he…
"Pfft!" He spat out a mouthful of blood while still smiling, and then many terrible wounds appeared on his body. If you looked closely, these wounds were exactly the same as those on the corpse in front of him.
"How...how could this be...?"
He stared incredulously at the wounds on his body, then slowly collapsed to his knees, finally falling to the ground and losing his life.
Seeing this scene, the four people in the coffee shop were all surprised. The two who were ghosts calmed down a lot, while the two who were humans breathed a sigh of relief.
Since killing the other party would also mean his own death, he decided not to take action, which greatly relieved Xue Rui, the human.
They watched through the surveillance equipment over there as the two corpses gradually turned into nothingness and disappeared completely, before they retrieved the surveillance equipment.
Before that, there were clearly other noises around them. Their surveillance equipment remained inactive until all the other surveillance equipment hidden around them left before they slowly brought their own back.
The ghost Lin Leyou sighed, "I never expected it to turn out like this."
Lin Leyou, a human, said, "Thinking about it carefully, this is quite normal, after all, we are all the same person."
Ghost Lin Leyou said, "That's right. Now we can rule out the simplest method. Hopefully, we can find other methods."
Lin Leyou, a human, said, "Many others must have seen those commotions. We don't need to explore them ourselves; we can just wait and see."
The ghost Lin Leyou said, "I don't know if there's enough time."
At this moment, the ghost Xue Rui suddenly said, "What if we eat it at night?"
Upon hearing this, the three people present were stunned for a moment. After they became ghosts again that night, they would eat the human one, and in this way, they would become one.
This is completely different from the mutual slaughter that just happened.
With just that one sentence, the atmosphere among the four people became tense once again.
Then, Lin Leyou, the ghost, said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous. There's no rush. We can observe further. After all, fighting each other is only a last resort."
The way you're saying this makes it sound like you're definitely going to take action in the end.
Lin Leyou, a human, was not intimidated by him. "What you said makes sense, but... as humans, we are definitely on the positive side, and I think we should focus on the positive side."
When he said this, the ghost Lin Leyou hadn't said anything yet, but the ghost Xue Rui next to him was the first to look at him.
Soon, Lin Leyou, a human, felt a chilling aura mixed with a strong killing intent, as if it would kill him right then and there.
Just as he was becoming wary, the ghost Lin Leyou took Xue Rui's hand and placed it on his knee, saying, "Don't be angry, anyway... they can't beat us."
Human Lin Leyou was speechless, "..."
The ghost Xue Rui eventually withdrew his gaze, but the human Lin Leyou felt that the chilling killing intent surrounding him had not disappeared; this ghost Xue Rui was targeting him.
After realizing that killing their own counterparts would also result in their own death, they abandoned the idea of acting immediately. However, waiting until night... was still an ordeal for the two humans.
Lin Leyou, a human, didn't want to be attacked by the two ghosts in front of him tonight, so he said directly, "Why don't we wait a bit and see if there are any other players in the same situation as us, one human and one ghost, and let them kill each other?"
Ghost Lin Leyou said, "Good idea. That's what I was thinking too. Let the others try it first, and once we find the right way, we can successfully clear the dungeon and leave."
Just then, the ghost Xue Rui said to him through the ring, "Let's go."
The ghost Lin Leyou found it strange. He glanced at Xue Rui beside him but didn't say anything. "In that case, there's no need for us to gather together now. Contact us when you have any clues."
After saying that, he stood up and left the coffee shop with Xue Rui.
The two who remained far away breathed a sigh of relief only after the others had gone far away.
Lin Leyou said, "I felt like I had just walked through the gates of hell. That other you was absolutely terrifying."
Xue Rui: "I didn't want to either... He really wanted to kill us."
Lin Leyou said, "It's strange, why is the other you so different from the other me? You see, the other me is always calm and peaceful."
"Wait, is it because you are that kind of person?"
Xue Rui rarely showed an expression of not knowing what to say. "You want to say this?"
Lin Leyou said confidently, "Isn't that right? It's all about ourselves. What kind of person he is reflects what kind of person you are. I have my reasons and evidence."
Xue Rui didn't know how to refute it, because he also felt a strong killing intent towards his other self. The other person probably sensed his killing intent, which is why he didn't intend to hold back.
However, they did not expect the other party to be so obvious, revealing their murderous intent in front of everyone present. "The situation is a bit complicated. We'd better make sure that even if a ghost eats another version of itself, it cannot survive alone."
"otherwise……"
Lin Leyou said, "I know without you telling me, and we can't take out the props beforehand, in case they use them against us, otherwise they would come looking for us now and..."
Xue Rui said, "Let's put that aside for now and find the other players first. There were so many surveillance cameras around, so there must have been a lot of players who saw that scene. Let's investigate these people first."
Lin Leyou said, "They will definitely try to find out the location of their other self as quickly as possible, because if the other person dies, they will also die."
Xue Rui: "As long as you take out all the props from your backpack, your other self will definitely notice. Then, when the other self also takes out props, put the props you just took out back in."
Lin Leyou said, "Stop talking. Look over there in the square. People are already verifying each other's identities. Before, all the people I saw verifying their identities were humans. Now, maybe there are ghosts or monsters?"
Xue Rui: "I don't know, let me check first..."
The two ghosts who returned to Villa No. 16 were indeed staying at home. As for the situation outside, let the surveillance equipment and the two humans worry about it.
Ghost Lin Leyou, "What do you think?"
Xue Rui: "I think killing them all would be the best course of action."
Lin Leyou, "I think you're a bit too bloodthirsty. And... there's one of me over there, are you really going to kill me?"
Xue Rui was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, "I only like you, he doesn't remember me at all."
Lin Leyou smiled and hugged him, wrapping his arms around his waist. "Although I don't mean it to you, it's still me. You would never say that normally. Stop hiding it and tell me quickly what happened."
Did you receive a system notification?
Xue Rui was truly stunned. "You..."
Lin Leyou: "Tell me, is there anything else I can't know?"
He sat on the other man's lap, leaned in and kissed him; sometimes, a handsome man's charm works every time.
Xue Rui then deflated, "Actually... I did receive a system notification."
Lin Leyou said, "Tell me about it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
Xue Rui: "It's okay to tell others. The system prompt is actually very simple: kill the other party."
Lin Leyou, "Your system prompt is: kill another version of yourself who is human? And then what? What are the rewards after killing him? Can I clear the level and leave?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment, then shook his head. "The system notification only said to kill the other you in front of you, without saying anything else. But since there was a system notification, it must be correct, right?"
Lin Leyou didn't think so. "The situation is a bit special. I feel like something's not right."
Xue Rui, "What?"
Lin Leyou said, "Generally speaking, if it is correct, the system will indicate the reward when issuing a task or prompt. This time, there is only the content and no reward, which is obviously very strange."
Xue Rui, “This…”
Lin Leyou: "You're definitely hiding something, tell me now!"
As he spoke, he slowly approached Xue Rui, as if he wouldn't give up until he finished speaking.
Xue Rui hadn't expected Lin Leyou to be so perceptive. He had indeed only revealed a small part of it, but he didn't intend to tell the rest. Once he did, Lin Leyou would definitely not allow it.
He moved closer to Lin Leyou in a fawning manner, picked him up, and placed him on the sofa next to him, nuzzling against his neck. "Brother Lin, don't ask anymore..."
Lin Leyou blinked, looking at the ceiling covered with plant vines and branches. Something was fishy!
Furthermore, Xue Rui wasn't planning to tell him his little secret. There was definitely something wrong with this system notification specifically given to Xue Rui. What was it? Xue Rui wouldn't tell him…
He felt an itch being rubbed against his neck. "Xue Xiaorui, are you really not going to tell me? What is it? Why are you keeping it such a secret?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a light pinch on his side. The sensitive spot and the light pressure were almost unbearable.
Lin Leyou froze instantly. "Stop fooling around!"
