Chapter 754 [(*^▽^*)]
The captain then waved to the security guard behind him, "Go on patrol, take this with you, and make sure you're careful, understand?"
"Yes, Captain!" He took the lamp that the security captain handed him and left.
It was a small light, about the size of a finger, that could be hung on a belt. Lin Leyou watched as the security guard's small light swayed as he walked away.
What's going on?
The security captain then said, "There's a new kind of ghost in the neighborhood. Whoever kills this ghost will be controlled by it for a period of time."
Lin Leyou, "How long is a period of time?"
The security captain said, "I'm not sure, maybe half an hour to an hour."
Lin Leyou thought for a moment. He had originally planned to kill the ghost himself, but the ghost suddenly screamed, deliberately attracting the security guards...
He briefly recounted what had just happened, and the security captain stroked his chin. "I see... That ghost probably knew it was no match for you, so it deliberately lured the security guards to kill itself, and then controlled them to kill you."
Lin Leyou said, "But... he didn't make a move directly. I only came to find you after I got home, and that's how I met him at the gate. Could he possibly be able to predict the future?"
Wait, precognition? Could it be... that the precognition device he and Xue Rui had previously guessed wasn't a one-time use item? This is a huge problem!
The security captain waved his hand, "No... I guess he wanted to come find you after his shift ended."
Lin Leyou's anxiety subsided temporarily. "Yes, I was overthinking it."
The security captain said, "I have a feeling that this time the ghosts are targeting you."
Lin Leyou looked at him, "You noticed too?"
The security captain said, "Hmm... this time, the resident who played the ghost doesn't seem to have some personal grudge against you, does he? He's even stopped doing missions... But then again, an S-rank difficulty dungeon has millions of points, so he might not even care about it."
Lin Leyou naturally knew that millions of points were child's play for Jiang Changdong and his group, something they could throw into the water without batting an eye, but now was not the time to talk about that.
"I have a question for you."
"Go on," the security captain said.
"What should be done if someone is found to have illegally entered the community?"
The security captain was surprised by his question: "What should we do? Either kill him or expel him."
He pointed to the thick black fog outside the gate. The security guard had run into the fog and hadn't come out yet. He didn't know if he was alive to return.
Lin Leyou continued to ask, "Isn't there any other way?"
The security captain said, "Of course there are. Someone will take him in. But the person who takes him in must be a homeowner in the community and be responsible for all the illegal immigrant's actions afterward."
"Otherwise, once discovered, a warrant will be issued by the security team, and it will not be withdrawn."
Lin Leyou said, "It feels much stricter than before."
The security captain certainly knew, because he had seen that person near Lin Leyou more than once during the numerous dungeon runs, and he always felt something was off, but…
"That's natural. This time the dungeon is more difficult, and the rules in many places will be much stricter. So either you sit here and act as a guarantor, or you tell him not to leave before it's over."
Of course... being targeted by ghosts and monsters, even if they wanted to spend these few days in peace, the other party probably wouldn't allow it. In that case, they would have no choice but to take the initiative.
Lin Leyou, "Let me ask you, the basic rules within the instance remain the same, right? For example, the security guards and the ghosts are enemies, and they will start a battle when they see each other."
The security captain said, "That's right. If we encounter a ghost, we will definitely kill it. If you encounter a security guard who doesn't kill ghosts, then he is definitely a fake."
Lin Leyou said, "Since that's the case, then I'll vouch for him here. In that case, is it possible to take him to search for monsters in the dungeon and kill them one by one?"
The security captain stroked his chin, somewhat hesitant. "Are you sure you want to actively seek out and kill ghosts?"
Seeing his expression, Lin Leyou asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The security captain shook his head. "Of course there's no problem, it's just that... the S-rank dungeon is very difficult. The monsters here are much stronger than you used to know."
Lin Leyou was quite surprised to hear him say that, but then he realized that he had never told this friend, whom he was fairly familiar with, what difficulty level of dungeons he had cleared over the past few years.
"Don't worry about that." I didn't say it before, so there's no need to say it now.
"I previously acquired a very powerful weapon specifically designed to deal with ghosts and monsters, and I also have defensive items that I obtained several years ago. These ghosts and monsters can't harm me."
The security captain said, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Come over and act as a guarantor."
Lin Leyou quickly stepped forward and, under his guidance, wrote a guarantee. He then received a tag from him that he could wear around his neck so that the security guards would recognize Xue Rui.
The security captain gave him this thing, saying, "The person who vouched for you, remember to carry it with you when you go out, otherwise it will be troublesome for you if the security guards keep an eye on you."
Lin Leyou packed his things away. "No problem, I'll go now."
He quickly returned home with the items, then handed this to Xue Rui, saying, "Take this and we can go out. When we do, we can search for ghosts and monsters and kill them all."
Xue Rui's expression was icy. "No problem."
He took the sign with him and left home with Lin Leyou. The two went outside again, but this time they didn't need to pay special attention to the security guards' positions; they only needed to focus on finding ghosts.
They appeared to be ordinary residents, wandering aimlessly around the neighborhood without any defenses. Sure enough, they attracted ghosts in less than ten minutes.
They knew that the ghosts that could be attracted were just cannon fodder. The truly powerful ones would not be sent out alone by the person behind the scenes, but would be the result of a detailed plan to unite all the elite ghosts.
Lin Leyou scoffed, "This ghost is only worth one knife."
They went to a dark corner where there was no light, and huddled together so close that an outsider would think they were being intimate, while those who knew...
Although the ghost wasn't very intelligent, it was still somewhat intelligent. Seeing them like this, it knew its chance had come. But as it got closer, a cold light flashed, and it felt an unprecedented pain. Before it could even think of escaping or scream, the cold light flashed again.
The monster vanished before their eyes.
Even with Lin Leyou's guarantee, Xue Rui's smuggled identity meant he couldn't gain any benefits in this instance, which is why Lin Leyou intervened just now.
He can at least get some points by killing ghosts, and if he's lucky, he might even get some items.
After the ghost was killed, Lin Leyou only gained a few hundred points, which was not much. He was indeed cannon fodder and had no value at all. As for items, there was no need to even think about them.
"Let's go, let's keep looking."
Xue Rui thought for a moment, then took out a small black mouse. "How about we use this?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "This is good, let's use this. How could I have forgotten about it before..."
Xue Rui obtained this little black mouse in a 3S-level dungeon. The black mouse was only about half the size of a palm, but it had a gold gem embedded in its head.
This is a gold-plated gem item, the Tracking Rat. The gold-plated gem is a reward obtained in another 3S dungeon, and this Tracking Rat is indeed very suitable for this situation.
Seeing this little black mouse, Lin Leyou couldn't help but think of the little mouse that an NPC had brought out in the Kingdom of Rules, which was really cute.
Of course, the one in Xue Rui's hand is also very cute. It's fluffy and round, with a tail covered in fluffy fur. You just want to wiggle it a few times.
Xue Rui: "Search for ghosts and monsters, just search anywhere."
The little black mouse flicked its fluffy tail, its two little ears on its head twitched, jumped off his hand, hopped a couple of times on the ground, and then hopped and ran in a certain direction.
The two quickly followed and soon found a ghost huddled in a corner in the stairwell on the second floor of Building 3. The ghost did not appear to be very powerful.
Although it was slightly better than the previous ghost, it was only a matter of two more cuts.
Lin Leyou didn't even glance at the thousand points he had earned this time. "Let's continue."
Throughout the night, they found ten ghosts using the tracking rats. Except for one ghost that escaped through a stairwell window in the form of black mist, they killed the remaining nine.
The Soul-Splitting Dagger truly lives up to its reputation as a golden weapon given to it by the ghostly village chief of Xiushan Village. Its power must extend far beyond the weapon itself.
He had been held by the village chief of Xiushan Village for countless years, and during that time he had become tainted with some ominous things. However, these things were useless to him; they only amplified the damage that the Soul-Splitting Dagger could inflict on his soul.
After daybreak, they returned home to cook and rest. The two went to the bathroom to wash up, leaving the cooking to the robot. They could eat right after showering.
Lin Leyou also took out some good dishes that he had put in his backpack before. They were all meat. The two of them had been busy all night and hadn't eaten anything. They ate everything on the table, including some fruit, before finally brushing their teeth and going to bed.
Xue Rui originally wanted to spend a few comfortable days with Lin Leyou in the Happiness Community, but he was unexpectedly forced to work overtime. He harbored deep resentment towards the person who caused this incident and vowed to eliminate them completely once he found an opportunity.
However, they still haven't seen the Jiang Changdong family they envisioned, which is quite a disappointment. Let's wait a little longer... maybe they'll be out in a few days.
These things will definitely not remain hidden forever.
The two of them rested, but the players who had been hiding all night slowly began to emerge. They had come out to look around during the day yesterday but found nothing. However, they were attacked by ghosts at night and several of them died.
Now they dared not come out at night anymore.
