Chapter 740 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui followed them to the Administration Bureau to give a statement. Of course, the Soul Splitter was also registered. While the registration was being done, Song Huainan and Guo Xia also came over after confirming that the two bodies were indeed real.
"The Soul-Splitting Dagger, a gold-tier weapon item... My goodness... Mr. Xue, you have so many gold-tier items! Do you have any more? How about contributing to the country?"
Xue Rui said, "If there's a suitable one, I won't hesitate to give it to you."
Song Huainan was a little unsure, "Then this..."
Xue Rui: "It can be copied. You can schedule a time first and then let me know."
Song Huainan patted his shoulder with a smile, "No problem!"
Guo Xia interjected, "By the way, you can go back now. If you go back at this time, you'll definitely be home before dark!"
Xue Rui, "Then about this matter..."
Song Huainan: "You were a vicious escaped criminal who was killed while trying to harm others. This was self-defense, so it's fine."
Xue Rui: "Okay, I'll be going now. You can decide the time for copying the props yourselves."
Guo Xia accompanied her outside, saying, "No problem, I definitely won't hold back when the time comes!"
If you maintain good relations with the people in the management bureau, you can easily get away with anything that happens, as long as you don't break the rules.
When he got home, it was just evening. Lin Leyou came over and took his hand. "How was it?"
Xue Rui: "It's nothing."
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright, that was really scary."
Xue Rui glanced at him. "Don't worry, they won't put surveillance cameras around."
Lin Leyou blinked. "How did you know?"
Xue Rui said, "My player level is high and I have a lot of items. Even if they want to release them, they will tell me in advance. They won't spy on me in secret."
Lin Leyou finally relaxed. "That's good. By the way, did I look scared just now?"
Xue Rui glanced at the Soul-Splitting Dagger, "This dagger..."
Lin Leyou: "This is the cursed dagger that the village chief of Xiushan Village traded with me. Remember it?"
Xue Rui: "Okay."
Lin Leyou thought, "As expected of the golden equipment given to me by the leader of the Yin Souls, it's ruthless enough. I like it."
Xue Rui: "Here you go."
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "Doesn't the Administration Bureau still need it? Just give it to me when they've used it up."
Anyway, they're practically inseparable now, so they don't really need such nice props anymore.
Xue Rui did not object, but instead put the Soul-Splitting Dagger into his backpack.
After Xue Qian's death, Xue Rui was essentially free of any worries in the real world, and he even took down Xue Zhengyang and Du Anxian in one fell swoop.
Lin Leyou was finally relieved, but it was clear that he had relaxed a little too soon.
Just three days later, Xue Rui was attacked again, not at Jiangnan Villa, but in the company's underground parking lot.
Xue Rui had arranged with Lin Leyou to cook dinner together tonight and add a little romance now and then. However, as he was looking for his car, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
He immediately retreated, flipping over to hide behind a pillar, and just then, a bullet landed where he had just been standing.
An assassination attempt? How could that be?
Xue Rui immediately took out his monitoring ball, Blood Shadow Gun, combat puppet, and silencing crystal.
More than a dozen monitoring spheres flew out, monitoring the entire surrounding area. The combat puppet headed straight for the direction from which the bullets had come, while the silencing crystal was kept with it.
Xue Rui held the Blood Shadow Gun in his hand and checked the footage captured by the surveillance ball. The combat puppet had already encountered the other party. Judging from the intensity of the battle, the player who came to assassinate him did not look like a professional.
It's like... being casually assigned cannon fodder.
If that's the case, then the real killer must be somewhere else. Xue Rui casually tossed out two mechanical spiders to hide nearby and monitor the situation around him, while the monitoring ball was placed on the outer perimeter.
In just a few seconds, he realized that in this underground parking lot, there was only himself and that assassin who was like cannon fodder. So... was that all?
Xue Rui blinked, then immediately took out a teleportation item. The next second, his figure disappeared from the spot and appeared in the top-floor office.
As he stood in his office, observing the cannon fodder assassin below through the surveillance cameras, he was as expected to witness the assassin suddenly lose his soul, stop all movement, and then explode.
His body turned into endless gray dust, which swept outwards and covered about one-fifth of the underground parking lot on this level.
The spot where Xue Rui was standing just now is naturally included.
The powder did not cause any damage to the surrounding walls, ground, vehicles, or even the surveillance equipment he had deployed; it floated in the air like ordinary dust.
However, the mechanical spider in the corner... observed a real pillar crawling out from a crack, which, upon contact with the powder, quickly shriveled up and eventually turned into dust that floated in the air.
The whole process takes only a second, the blink of an eye.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xue Rui knew that the person targeting him this time was definitely not an ordinary player.
He immediately contacted the management bureau and briefly explained the situation: "It's an emergency. I'll seal off the underground parking lot first. Please come quickly."
"Okay, thank you for your help. We'll send someone over right away."
Xue Rui immediately called the security department and asked them to seal off the underground parking lot. For the time being, the entire underground parking lot was sealed off.
The employees whose cars are parked downstairs probably won't be able to drive away in the short term, but the company also provides shuttle buses so it won't delay their commute home.
The bureau staff arrived quickly; in less than five minutes, the familiar number appeared on the phone screen. Xue Rui answered, "I'm in my office now. Have you arrived?"
Song Huainan breathed a sigh of relief, "We're here. I'm glad you're alright. Now get down, it's safe around here."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
After the two met up, Song Huainan said to him with a grim expression, "Before he died, Xue Qian used all his points to get some items into the real world and then posted an unlimited-time mission on the dark web."
Xue Rui, "Kill me?"
Song Huainan: "This was just discovered. He has a tool that can automatically detect who completed the task, and the reward is all the items he obtained in the real world, which will be automatically delivered to the other party after they complete the task."
Xue Rui, "What kind of prop is it?"
Song Huainan said, "I have to say, Xue Qian is really rich. He has two gold-grade props and ten purple-grade props. If he brought them all to the real world, it would cost several hundred million points. He also has props for setting up this backup plan."
Xue Rui was somewhat surprised. He and Lin Leyou had tricked Xue Qian a few times before, and his points should have been deducted quite a bit. He didn't expect that he still had so many points and items.
At this moment, two people wearing masks and hats and dressed in casual clothes came out of the underground parking garage. They were probably officials. "Officer Song, the inside has been cleaned up. This thing is very rare."
Song Huainan: "Is everything cleaned up? Can we let it go now?"
"Okay, we've collected everything we needed. Let's head back now. But just in case, we've decided to assign someone to handle this..."
Xue Rui refused outright, "No need, these people can't harm me at all."
They were all stunned, and then they realized it was true.
Song Huainan said, "President Xue, this... it's good to have someone help you, it's safer, after all, you have an ordinary person in your family, what if they get involved..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xue Rui took out his phone and contacted Lin Leyou in front of them. In fact, he was already contacting him using the black jade ring, and the mechanical spider left at home had also begun searching for him.
School is on holiday, but Lin Leyou doesn't stay in the real world often during the day. He often goes to the Endless World to find Qin Xingyu and receive special training.
Lin Leyou had just gotten up and was in the kitchen downstairs with his mechanical spider, checking the ingredients they would be using that night.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Xue Rui hadn't contacted him so urgently using the black jade ring in a long time, and just then, his phone made a sound.
kindness?
Lin Leyou quickly answered the phone, "It's me, what's wrong?"
Xue Rui knew immediately that nothing had happened to him. "It's alright."
Lin Leyou, "You think you can fool me?"
Xue Rui sighed inwardly, hung up the phone, and then used the black jade ring to briefly explain the situation that had just occurred, as well as what Song Huainan had told him.
Lin Leyou's eyes widened slightly. "So, this means that as long as no one completes this bounty, it will remain valid indefinitely?"
Xue Rui: "I don't know. I wonder if the prop Xue Qian used has a time limit."
Lin Leyou was very dissatisfied. "There's no such thing as being a thief for a thousand days and guarding against thieves for a thousand days."
Xue Rui thought the same thing. Although the target was him, Lin Leyou lived with him, and those people would eventually find Lin Leyou.
It's not that Lin Leyou is no match for them. No matter how powerful those people are, they would probably just be sending him to his death. But Lin Leyou will go to the Endless World during the day!
What if Lin Leyou happened to be in the Endless World when the other party infiltrated the villa?
Xue Rui said, "From now on, I'll come to work with you every day."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, "You mean, sleep at your company?"
With him by his side, Xue Rui could react in time no matter what happened, and those who came to attack him would have absolutely no chance.
Lin Leyou, “With your good relationship with the authorities, I don’t think there will be many people who will come looking for trouble for you.”
Xue Rui, "A desperate man... will never care about the authorities."
Lin Leyou sighed, "Alright, we'll do it your way."
Xue Rui was slightly relieved. "Okay, starting tomorrow."
After the conversation ended, Song Huainan approached Xue Rui again, "President Xue, are you really not going to give this a serious consideration?"
Xue Rui said, "I go back and forth between the villa and the company every day. Occasionally I go out to discuss business. Your people can follow behind me, but they can't get too close."
It was rare for Xue Rui to back down, so Song Huainan quickly agreed, "It's alright."
