Chapter 750 [(*^▽^*)]
Of all the people Lin Leyou knew, apart from those he barely knew, the person he had the least contact with was Hua Yun'an. Why would he take the initiative to send him a message?
I clicked on it and took a look.
"be safe."
Upon seeing these four characters, Lin Leyou immediately thought of Jiang Changdong's family. He was certain that Jiang Xiayue had already emerged from that instance and returned home.
No abnormalities have been found yet, but Jiang Xiaoyue, who just returned, is said to be unusually well-behaved.
Jiang Xiali paid close attention to news about Jiang Changdong's family and would always share it with him as soon as possible. Lin Leyou would also happily discuss it with him.
In any case, this is in my best interest.
Could it be that Jiang Xiaoyue's return has reminded Jiang Changdong of the items and points he lost because of me, and now he wants to settle old scores with me?
However, he now basically doesn't leave Endless City. When school starts, he goes back and forth between school, home, and Qin Xingyu's place, occasionally going out shopping or participating in the NPC role-playing tasks randomly matched by the system.
Or he would go to dungeons with Xue Rui, always choosing 3S-level dungeons.
Jiang Changdong wouldn't be able to harm him in Endless City, but he might have a chance in the dungeon. However, he wasn't afraid because he was with Xue Rui, since they had already faced a tough challenge in the dungeon before.
Is he going to cause trouble for me in the random NPC role-playing instance? Or is he going to make a move in the Happiness Community?
be safe.
What time, what place, and what aspect?
Lin Leyou replied to Hua Yun'an's message. He thought for a long time before finally replying with "East".
Hua Yun'an replied a few minutes later, "Smart."
Lin Leyou sighed and put his phone aside. It seemed that Hua Yun'an wouldn't tell him anything more. That made sense; given Hua Yun'an's status, she couldn't very well challenge the rules of the Order Management Bureau as the captain of the enforcement team.
He had already given the maximum reminder he could, but what about Lin Wanyi...?
Forget it, I won't ask anymore. After all, although Lin Wanyi is slightly better to me, she is also the captain of the law enforcement team, and the rules that cannot be violated are the rules that cannot be violated.
Lin Leyou's gaze fell on Xue Rui once again. This matter could not be hidden, otherwise Xue Rui would definitely be angry with him when he found out later.
His back will suffer again then.
Xue Rui was preparing food in the kitchen when he turned around and asked, "Is something the matter?"
Lin Leyou: "You're quite something. I didn't say anything, and you already knew."
Xue Rui: "So something's wrong?"
Lin Leyou briefly explained what had just happened, "I don't know the specifics yet, but it's definitely related to Jiang Changdong. I don't know what he's planning to do."
Xue Rui was silent for a moment, then said, "My problem is solved. Now it's just your problem that's left."
Lin Leyou: "Yes, Jiang Changdong... It all started because of a gold-tier defensive item."
Xue Rui: "It's not just about the props anymore."
Lin Leyou smiled slightly, "They brought this on themselves. They've probably been bullying others for so long that it's become a habit, so they think it's their right to bully others."
"If someone bullies you one day, you'll think that person is incredibly audacious to actually fight back!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Rui couldn't help but smile. "Really?"
Lin Leyou: "Isn't that right? Haven't you ever met someone like that?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "I've met all kinds of people."
Lin Leyou, "The situation..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. Both of them were stunned. They knew that the dungeon had just started and it was still early morning. Anyone knocking at this hour was definitely not normal.
Lin Leyou said, "You cook, I'll go check on things."
He got up and walked towards the door, but for some reason, the message Hua Yun'an had sent him suddenly popped into his mind, and he involuntarily stood some distance away from the door.
He then immediately exchanged for a very cheap puppet. After the puppet appeared, it hopped over and looked out through the peephole. At that moment, he looked at the surveillance screen with it.
A monitor screen was hanging on the wall next to the door, showing the view outside. He couldn't see anything on the monitor, and the puppet couldn't see anything through the peephole either.
Lin Leyou touched his chin, wondering if he was overthinking things.
Xue Rui, "What's going on?"
Lin Leyou: "There's nothing outside."
Xue Rui frowned slightly. "Then don't worry about it, come and serve the dishes."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, I'm coming."
He went into the kitchen, where Xue Rui had already prepared two dishes. "Not bad, you were quick. How many more dishes are there?"
Xue Rui: "There are two more. Wait another ten minutes."
Lin Leyou: "Okay."
He carried the dishes to the dining room, casually put the plates down, glanced at the door, and then smiled. Perhaps he was being too sensitive? How could that be…
Less than twenty minutes later, dinner was served. They sat down in the dining room to eat, having completely forgotten about the knocking on the door. "It's delicious. No wonder my boyfriend makes this."
Xue Rui paused slightly, then picked up a piece of meat and brought it to Lin Leyou's mouth, which Lin Leyou happily ate.
Xue Rui prepared a fairly large amount of food, but the two of them still finished it all. In the real world, that amount of food would be enough for five people.
Lin Leyou patted his stomach. "I'm full."
Xue Rui stared intently at his slightly protruding belly for a moment, but after Lin Leyou noticed, he looked away and slowly cleaned up the restaurant and kitchen.
During this time, Lin Leyou's gaze remained fixed on Xue Rui. After he finished tidying up and sat down next to him, just as Xue Rui was about to speak, the knocking on the door sounded again.
Lin Leyou blinked. "What are you trying to say?"
Xue Rui had forgotten what he was going to say. "I'll go take a look."
Lin Leyou waved his hand, "No need."
He tossed out the puppet he had just bought, which went to open the door, then walked outside and closed the door behind it.
Lin Leyou observed the outside world through the doll. There was nothing around it, and the doll sat obediently against the door. "Isn't this perfect?"
"Don't use the mechanical spider recklessly. It's easy to destroy in such an unprotected place. This item is irreparable; once it's broken, it's broken. It can even self-destruct."
Xue Rui nodded, and he also took out a puppet. This puppet didn't go to the front door, but went to the balcony, where it sat.
Lin Leyou: "The ghosts were a bit naughty tonight, always bothering us, but they should be fine now."
Xue Rui: "That's a bit strange."
Lin Leyou said, "It is indeed strange, but it's okay. If it comes to bother us, we can just kill it. It's just that... this time the ghost is quite good at hiding."
They knocked twice, but they couldn't find where the ghost was hiding.
However, nothing else can enter this house without Lin Leyou's permission, so there's no need to worry about that.
Besides, we're in a dungeon now. Even if they are killed, they'll only be killed as dungeon NPCs, not actually killed.
Lin Leyou hugged Xue Rui's waist, "It feels so good."
Xue Rui: "You have a better feel for it."
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
The two chatted back and forth, groping each other as they entered the room. Lin Leyou was pushed onto the bed by Xue Rui, who half-heartedly allowed him to touch her inappropriately.
However, after fooling around for so long during the day, they were just playing around and didn't intend to do anything real. After playing around for a while, they decided to go to sleep.
Xue Rui held Lin Leyou in his arms, letting him lean against him. The two of them closed their eyes, preparing to sleep for a while.
However, they had only been asleep for less than an hour when the puppet outside the door suddenly noticed some unusual noises. Of course, a puppet is just a puppet.
It just sat there leaning against the door, not even moving its button eyes, as if it were a real doll.
In the pitch-black corridor, a faint rustling sound seemed to come from inside the stairwell door in the distance. After about ten minutes, the stairwell door was slowly pushed open.
In the silent corridor, there was a slight sound of a door being pushed open. The soft sound of the door being pushed open was so jarring in the quiet night. Only then did the puppet show any reaction.
The doll's eyes seemed to shift, from looking straight ahead to looking towards the stairwell door, which was behind a corner and couldn't be seen unless the doll went over there.
Of course, the dolls wouldn't go over there; Lin Leyou had arranged for them to guard the door. Since they were to guard this place, they absolutely couldn't leave unless an attack came to their door.
Lin Leyou was already asleep, and even Xue Rui was asleep, but neither of them was in a deep sleep. If there was any noise, they would wake up immediately.
After the hallway door slowly opened a crack, it paused for several minutes, as if someone was deliberately preventing it from closing completely. During this time, the rustling sound from before also disappeared.
However, the doll's gaze remained fixed on the direction of the stairwell door, as if it had sensed something.
A few minutes later, the hallway door slowly closed again, and the entire space outside fell silent once more. At this moment, the doll's gaze returned to its previous straight-ahead position.
It seems the crisis has been averted.
Lin Leyou and his companion only slept for a little over three hours before waking up. It was still dark outside when they woke up, so they lay on the bed with their eyes half-closed, resting until the sky began to lighten.
Xue Rui drew back the curtains and saw the familiar golden scenery outside. There were so many golden ginkgo trees outside the window; no matter how many times she saw them, she never got tired of them.
He walked to the living room balcony and saw the puppet he had placed there the night before. He hadn't noticed anything unusual last night. Lin Leyou also checked the puppet placed at the door.
There was nothing unusual. Last night before going to sleep, I gave the doll instructions not to leave the doorway and to attack any unknown creatures it encountered, which would also wake me up.
However, I was not awakened, which means that nothing happened last night.
