Chapter 756 [(*^▽^*)]
Unfortunately, it was consumed by karmic fire and no one could save it. In the end, it could only watch helplessly as it burned to ashes and disappeared into the sky above the neighborhood.
The final scream echoed through the neighborhood for a while before completely fading away.
Lin Leyou received a system notification: "Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for killing the elite monster. Reward: 500,000 points."
"I received 500,000 points. With the reward for clearing the game being only 2 million, killing an elite monster for 500,000 points should be considered a lot, right?"
A quarter of the reward for clearing the dungeon is indeed a lot, which shows that this elite monster is definitely a heavyweight in the dungeon, perhaps even second only to the BOSS.
Xue Rui: "Yes, BOSS has lost a key general."
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "He must be jumping up and down in a panic right now. This ghost's ability is too special. Once it is destroyed, whatever plans the other party has, they will definitely have to be completely overturned."
Xue Rui, "Are we still going out now?"
Lin Leyou nodded with a smile, "Let's go out, why aren't we going out? Someone gave us such a big gift, we should go and return the favor now."
"After so many days of hunting ghosts, the number of ghosts in this dungeon is definitely very small. Now that such a special elite ghost has been killed, let's try our best to turn the BOSS into a lone commander."
Lin Leyou chuckled, "I don't believe it won't come out."
Although the time it took to take out the red lotus was very short, even that short time was enough for all the ghosts and monsters surrounding his house to be tainted by karmic fire.
Xue Rui: "I can see the footage on my surveillance camera. Just now, the entire neighborhood was indeed covered by ghosts at a fixed time. The BOSS has big plans."
Even so, the monster is now dead.
Lin Leyou: "The system notifications came one after another. Besides the elite ghost at the beginning, there were three more scattered notifications afterward, all of which were rewards for killing ghosts."
In other words, besides the dark ghosts that covered the entire neighborhood, there were three other ghosts lying in ambush around his house, just waiting for them to come out.
Xue Rui said, "They would never guess that we have a prop like the Red Lotus. Even now, they're probably still guessing."
Lin Leyou hesitated, "I don't know if they will find out that the deaths of these ghosts were caused by karmic fire. After all, they are well hidden at a distance... so they won't be contaminated by these flames."
Xue Rui: "So what if we knew?"
Lin Leyou looked at him, "Hmm?"
Xue Rui, "Is there any way to stop the karmic fire?"
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow, then thought for a moment, "No, any ghost or monster that gets close to the karmic fire will be ignited even without touching it. It's just that unreasonable."
Xue Rui: "That's good."
Lin Leyou took Xue Rui's hand and said, "Didn't you say you were going out to find ghosts? Let's go. You can take out your tracking mouse now, but be careful, in case you get targeted..."
Xue Rui nodded. Although his Tracking Mouse was a gold-plated gem item, it could automatically return to his backpack and deduct points for repair after being damaged, but the repair still took time.
Time is the most precious thing for them now. Today is the sixth night, and after midnight, there will only be 24 hours left.
Lin Leyou, armed with gold-plated defensive gear, prepared himself and left home with Xue Rui. The doll on the balcony was still there; it belonged to Xue Rui, after all, the balcony also belonged to their home.
However, the doll props that Lin Leyou placed at the front door disappeared, which must have been destroyed by ghosts. Fortunately, the many monitoring balls that Xue Rui released did not show any abnormalities.
At this moment, Lin Leyou contacted the security captain, who replied to the message.
"Are you alright over there? I had no idea what happened, that darkness just now..."
Lin Leyou: "It's nothing. Do you know what happened with that darkness that covered the entire neighborhood just now?"
The security captain replied after a while, "It is a ghost. Its strength is definitely the strongest below the BOSS level. It was just burned by fire. One of my security guards accidentally touched it and ended up covered in flames. It has been burning ever since and is screaming in agony."
A sense of guilt flashed through Lin Leyou's mind. People in the distance could not be attacked by the Red Lotus, but it would be a different story if they touched a burning ghost.
If you touch the flames, you will be burned; that is the terror of karmic fire.
Lin Leyou thought about it. He had previously told the security captain that he had obtained a very powerful item. Now that the captain was telling him about it, he probably already had doubts.
"Only those who are full of sins can be ignited. It doesn't necessarily mean that they are evil people. As long as people are alive, whether they like it or not, they will always be tainted by sins. For example, eating meat is a kind of killing, but such sins are very rare."
Murder counts too, but killing evil people will lessen the sin, while killing ordinary or good people will increase the sin.
The security captain asked, "Really? What's the solution?"
Lin Leyou, "You touched it?"
Security captain: "No!"
Anyone with experience wouldn't touch something of unknown origin. He thought about how he had almost touched it before and felt a bit scared.
"That...this flame..."
After reading it, Lin Leyou didn't know what to say, so he answered him truthfully, "It will naturally disappear after the sins are burned away, provided that he can hold on until then, otherwise..."
Upon seeing this, the security captain knew that the security guard in front of him was beyond saving. After all, he didn't know how to calculate the amount of sin. However, the security guard's flames were still burning fiercely, but his wails were gradually subsiding. He would soon be dead.
However, this is not a loss. The dungeon boss has lost a key member and will soon be left with no one. The other outsiders are all hiding now and don't dare to go out at all.
After all, even a cannon fodder monster could wipe them out. If they came out now, they would only become dead souls in the monster's hands. Therefore, hiding was the best option for them.
Even so, a few players who didn't believe in the superstition still went out to try their luck, but they never came back and were swallowed up by the darkness.
They're definitely dead. Not just in the dungeon, they wouldn't survive in the real world either. After all... they're all new players with very few points. Failing to clear this dungeon will cost them two million points.
For them, failure means death.
Fortunately, the thick, dark matter was burned away by the flames right before their eyes. One person instinctively reached out to catch a small spark, but the moment he touched it, he was engulfed in flames.
Within minutes, the man died, but he appeared completely unharmed. Only then did everyone realize how dangerous it was outside.
All the players stayed huddled in their assigned accommodations, refusing to go out no matter what. Since there was only a little over a day left, they planned to just drink water and get through the remaining time.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui had no idea what these players were thinking. They went out together, and Xue Rui didn't put his tracking mouse on the ground, but dragged it in his hand.
Whichever direction the tracking mouse looked in, the two of them would head in that direction, and they were much faster.
This time, however, the tracking mouse kept leading them in circles around the neighborhood, and when they returned to the same spot for the third time, it stopped.
Lin Leyou said, "Knowing that the tracking rats can find them, they are probably constantly changing locations, and the tracking rats are always chasing this... If I'm not mistaken, the remaining monsters are either the BOSS or they are all gathered together, moving together to avoid our pursuit."
Xue Rui: "I reckon only the BOSS is left."
Lin Leyou said, "This can't go on forever. I'll take out that flying vehicle and chase after them. It's faster, so I should be able to catch up."
He took out the aircraft, sat on it, and Xue Rui stood on it. The tracking mouse was placed in Lin Leyou's hand, since it was more convenient for Lin Leyou to hold the tracking mouse since he needed to control the aircraft.
Sure enough, having the flying machine made things much more convenient. The tracking mouse probably found it very fun too. As long as it changed direction and looked in a certain direction, it would fly in that direction, without having to go around looking for stairs.
Using this method, they chased him around the neighborhood for several hours before finally managing to catch a glimpse of his whereabouts.
Lin Leyou immediately controlled the aircraft to quickly approach and saw a humanoid ghost not far away. This person looked just like an ordinary person, but perhaps because of the darkness, his skin appeared abnormally pale, and it was obvious at a glance that he was not a normal person.
Xue Rui: "We finally caught them."
Lin Leyou said, "Don't get your hopes up too high. He runs fast, and he might run away again in a bit."
Xue Rui hesitated for a moment, "Is this really...?"
Is it Jiang Changdong?
You can't tell just by looking at them. After all, once you become a BOSS, you use the BOSS's appearance. Even Jiang Changdong and the others can't be sure right now.
Lin Leyou: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, let's deal with him first. You take the gun and shoot him."
Lin Leyou had all the items and weapons that could hurt ghosts, but he didn't have any ranged weapons... Hmm? He suddenly thought of the Soul-Binding Bowl he had obtained in the real world. Although it could only be used once every twenty-four hours to trap a soul, it was still quite useful, wasn't it?
He took out his prop, the Spirit-Trapping Bowl, from his backpack. "Come closer, I'll use this. You poke it with the gun, but be careful."
Xue Rui: "No problem."
In fact, with Lin Leyou's gold-plated defensive items, the chances of them being hurt are very small, unless there are extremely special items that can avoid these items and injure them.
However, using them in this instance would be a huge loss, because they are just ordinary NPCs. There would be no loss if they died, and the system would even compensate them with some points... no, it would compensate Lin Leyou.
Xue Rui doesn't exist, and of course, Xue Rui's identity is also a big problem.
Xue Rui shouted, "Now!"
The monster has been dodging and hasn't retaliated yet, but its defense is really good. Xue Rui has attacked so many times, and many of those attacks hit the monster squarely, but the damage it has done is very small.
