Chapter 75 [(*^▽^*)]
It could also be hidden among some objects in a corner, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap. If you don't encounter it, then this player will be the prey this time.
The male player followed behind him, hugging his arms and trembling. "Yes, yes, you're right. Let's search the hallways and corridors first. Oh, and we should check the rooftop too, just in case she's there..."
Lin Leyou didn't care. "Okay, let's go."
In order to search in the hallways, they did not take the elevator, but instead took the stairs, going up floor by floor and checking the corridors on each floor.
When they reached the top floor and stood at the door leading to the rooftop, Lin Leyou noticed the other person's disappointed expression. "What's wrong?"
"I didn't find anything, and I feel like I've been cheated."
Lin Leyou said, "The dungeon rewards are pretty good. If it were this easy, something would be fishy."
He tentatively said something, subtly observing his expression. The man nodded, finding it quite reasonable, "You're right. Completing the task gives you 500 points. Such a generous reward. If it were that easy, something fishy would be going on."
"After all, dungeon bosses aren't easy to find, and once you find them, you still have to defeat them..."
Kill...
Wouldn't that conflict with my third task?
Oh, wait, there doesn't seem to be any conflict. My task is to put the items that control the BOSS back in their original positions. Players can kill the BOSS after completing their task. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
If possible, it's not that he can't cooperate with the players, but to him, these players are too terrible, not a single one is worth watching, so cooperating with them is impossible.
"Now there's only the rooftop left, let's open the door and take a look."
Lin Leyou glanced at him and noticed that he was standing behind him and had no intention of coming forward to open the door. Very well, he was being taken for a fool.
He smirked. No problem, he'd soon find out who the sucker really was.
These players are not just players in his eyes; each player represents 20 points and 100,000 coins to him!
Lin Leyou turned around, reached out and opened the rooftop door, then walked out. The players behind him quickly followed, then said with a grin, "Thanks, bro."
Lin Leyou shook his head, seemingly unconcerned, "It's nothing."
He found it amusing to watch the other person enthusiastically spinning around on the rooftop, only to find nothing in the end.
If it were really that easy to find, then anyone could complete the task.
"What?! There's still nothing there... Could it be hidden in some room?"
He muttered to himself as he walked toward the door, accidentally passing Lin Leyou and continuing forward with his back to him.
Unbeknownst to him, Lin Leyou behind him had already pulled out a cursed dagger from his backpack, intending to finish the fight quickly this time.
The instant he walked through the door on the rooftop, Lin Leyou lightly swung his sword.
The moment he closed the door behind him, there seemed to be a faint, almost indistinct sound of something heavy falling to the ground.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for killing a player. You have earned 20 points and 100,000 gold coins."
Great, this is the second one.
Lin Leyou didn't bother with the corpse. Anyway, the entire community was currently in a dungeon, so the corpse would definitely be disposed of by something else.
And the fact that I killed a female ghost last night should have spread among the ghosts in the neighborhood.
Perhaps apart from the BOSS, nothing can cause me fatal harm, especially since it's during working hours and I have a uniform and a stun gun in my hand, making me safer.
Lin Leyou left the building and quickly went to patrol other places, looking for any lone players. However, he only encountered small groups of two or three players, and no solo players.
It's okay, there's plenty of time anyway, he's not in a hurry at all.
After walking around the neighborhood a few more times, Lin Leyou quickly realized that it was almost time for him to get off work, so he headed towards the security booth. When the captain saw him, he smiled and said, "You've come at the right time, it's time to change shifts."
Lin Leyou nodded. "Then I'll head back now."
"Okay, you can go back now. Remember to change your clothes when you get back, and don't wander around outside before work hours, okay?"
It's four o'clock, time to get off work.
Lin Leyou walked back home, and when he got back, he thought about it and decided to change his clothes and put the stun gun in his backpack.
This is the perfect time to start preparing dinner for myself. I just walked into the kitchen and realized I didn't have an apron, but that's okay, I can buy one later when I have time.
As for the players outside still struggling to survive and searching for clues? Sorry, what does that have to do with me? My priority right now is to fill my stomach.
While sitting at the dining table, he casually picked up a pen and paper and wrote down all the clues he had discovered that day, or rather, some scattered unusual phenomena.
That female teacher is definitely not human, so it's absolutely impossible for her to be the owner of the apartment where Zhou Keke and Zhou Liu live. The property management has also checked this.
The owner of the house where Liu Liu lives is Zhou Keke herself, and she lives alone. However, the security captain said that the property registration is for Zhou Keke and her son Zhou Liu, so if the female teacher wants to enter the house, she must have obtained the consent of Zhou Keke or Zhou Liu.
So Zhou Keke's claim that she didn't know the other person and had no idea that such a person existed might have been entirely a pretense. Did Liu Liu also participate in the deception and charade?
Lin Leyou recalled what Liu Liu looked like when she was young: innocent and cute, aggrieved and dissatisfied, just like a child. Could it be that she guessed wrong?
The identity of this female teacher remains a mystery, which is something we need to pay close attention to. Without a photo, we don't know how to find any clues.
Relying on players?
Lin Leyou gritted his teeth and continued eating. He didn't think it tasted very good. Although he could cook, he could only cook edible food. After all, he didn't have time to learn cooking skills in his previous life.
"Should we go and learn how to cook? We'll definitely be cooking for ourselves a lot in the future."
In order not to neglect his stomach, Lin Leyou included learning to cook in his plans. Just like learning to drive, he planned to learn to drive and cook in Endless City after this dungeon was over.
After all, eating out so many times in this life inevitably spoils one's palate.
Lin Leyou then thought of the quarreling young couple in Unit 3 of Building 2. If she had time, she would definitely want to meet them in person and see what their actual situation was like.
He didn't think it was a coincidence that the players he had killed earlier saw the female teacher enter this unit; there must be something or even someone related to the female teacher in there.
Could it be related to this young couple?
Lin Leyou sighed. He finished his meal and pondered the clues for a while. After cleaning up the dishes, he admired the beautiful scenery outside the window for a moment, then drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness.
Often, if you want to find clues, you have to wait until night, since nighttime is when those things are at their peak.
Lin Leyou was still a little worried, after all, he had been attacked by a female ghost on the first night, which meant that the evil things in the dungeon did not only attack players.
All the NPCs in the instance are actually within the attack range of those things, so the security guards have to patrol 24 hours a day. Wearing security uniforms, they cannot be attacked, and the stun baton has a 10-minute paralysis effect. The most advantageous point is that the stun baton's attack effect has no cooldown time!
It's probably meant to fight off ghosts and monsters.
He looked at his uniform and stun gun in his backpack, which showed that they could not be used outside of working hours.
Okay, so should he listen to the captain now and not go out casually after work? Or should he continue to go out and look for players to see if he can get any useful clues?
If he went out now, he might be able to kill a few players and gain a lot of points and money, but Lin Leyou was not the kind of person who was in a hurry to succeed.
Although he has a bad temper, he can also be quite calm.
"Let's stay home."
Killing the ghost and completing the mission is best done at night; it seems he'll have to think of a way...
He checked all the rooms in the house and, finding nothing amiss, turned back to the master bedroom, his own room to rest and sleep.
I took out my phone to check if I could connect to the internet, but it turned out I couldn't. Sure enough, the Happy Community instance had been temporarily controlled by the out-of-control BOSS.
It was only a little before six o'clock, and Lin Leyou didn't plan to go to sleep. He was currently in a dungeon and couldn't return to the real world, so he could only stay awake.
He walked to the door and looked out through the peephole. He didn't expect to see anything; he was just bored, so he looked around.
But to my surprise, I actually saw something outside.
A woman stood in the hallway outside his house with her back to the door. Her long black hair was draped behind her. She stood there motionless. Judging from her clothes and other features from behind, Lin Leyou recognized her immediately.
The person standing by the door was the female teacher I had seen at Liu Liu's house before.
Lin Leyou smiled. What was she planning to do? Lure him out? This female teacher was definitely some kind of ghost or monster, so what was she planning to do by luring him out?
Was the female ghost seen before she even made a sound, or was she just there to take a look and had no intention of doing anything?
He took out his phone and started sending messages to the team leader.
"Captain, how many security guards are there on patrol?"
The team leader quickly replied, "Three in total, working in three shifts!"
Very well, so these ghosts were ordered by the BOSS to attack the security guards?
After all, security guards are not allowed to use work supplies outside of their working hours, such as the uniform and weapons he has in his backpack.
It seems that the NPCs in the instance also have different stances, such as the ghosts in Happiness Community, the security guards, and the ordinary residents.
