Chapter 758 [(*^▽^*)]
Xue Rui, "You like it especially?"
Lin Leyou looked away. "Who wouldn't love a cute little thing?"
Xue Rui, "Then..."
Lin Leyou quickly interrupted him, "You're the cutest. You're the one I like the most in the world."
Xue Rui stopped talking, paused for a moment, and then continued eating.
Lin Leyou looked at him with a smile. This time, Xue Rui didn't say anything, but he blushed, probably feeling embarrassed himself.
Lin Leyou naturally wouldn't make trouble for him. "Let's eat, the food will get cold soon."
At that moment, inside the house where the other players were hiding, all the players were crammed into the master bedroom, supervising and protecting each other.
No one is allowed to leave this room alone. If someone wants to go out, two other people must accompany them to prevent anyone from being misled into opening the windows or doors.
Just as they were munching on cookies, there was a knock on the door, followed by a familiar voice.
No one spoke, but looked at each other. Finally, someone whispered, "It's that guy who went out a couple of days ago. The voice sounds a lot like him, but I forgot what he looks like."
"Ignore it. If he hasn't come back for so many days, he must have died out there. This is fake."
"It's fake, it's fake. Let's keep quiet and it'll leave on its own in a bit."
The person who was knocking and talking outside left after a few minutes, probably realizing that they couldn't get the door open using that identity.
Then someone knocked on the door again, but they didn't say a word. The first few times they had discussed whether the person was real or fake, but the later times they remained calm and completely silent.
From day to night, the door was knocked on no less than five times. They had gotten used to it by then, and only after dark did they excitedly check the time.
"I'll be able to clear the game in five or six hours, and I'll have two million points in my hands soon!"
Regardless of any noise outside, these players resolutely remained silent and refused to open the door, as if no one was in the house. Since the ghosts and monsters could not enter the house, they could only temporarily abandon these ants.
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui went out again at this time. Xue Rui held the tracking rat in his hand. "If he is determined to hide, we may not be able to kill him."
Lin Leyou knew this perfectly well, "Was it Jiang Changdong and his group...?"
Xue Rui: "Many players have gone over and knocked on the door."
Lin Leyou: "They haven't opened the door yet, have they?"
Xue Rui: "Of course."
We've already warned them. If they open the door again, they deserve it. "There are a few ordinary NPCs inside, with the same status as us."
Lin Leyou was stunned for a moment before realizing, "You mean the ordinary NPC residents of Happiness Community also went to knock on their doors?"
Xue Rui, "Something seems off, but..."
Lin Leyou stroked his chin. The two stood under a street lamp and did not continue walking in any direction. However, at this moment, two figures appeared not far away.
They were walking together, heading this way.
Lin Leyou and his companion spotted them immediately, but didn't make any extra moves. Instead, they stood under the streetlights playing with the tracking mouse in their hands, looking like two ordinary residents taking a walk with their pets in the neighborhood at night.
The two people who appeared earlier looked like a couple. They held hands and would occasionally stick together and kiss each other.
Lin Leyou and the others looked somewhat surprised, but they didn't pay much attention. Sometimes, there really are residents like that who take advantage of the darkness to come to a secluded spot in the community to make love.
You can do it at home, of course, but sometimes it's more exciting outside.
At this moment, the couple also noticed Lin Leyou and his companion, and looked at them with rather strange eyes. When they got closer, it looked like they were about to pass them and walk away into the distance.
However, at this moment, the couple stopped and turned to look at them.
The woman reached out and put her arm around the man beside her, saying with a grin, "You two look so well-matched. Showing off your love so late at night, really..."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui frowned slightly. Although what this woman said wasn't offensive, her tone was a bit off.
Xue Rui touched the tracking rat in his hand, but the tracking rat did not react to the two people, which meant that they were not ghosts or monsters, but perhaps just NPC residents with ill intentions.
They didn't speak, merely glanced at each other before looking away and preparing to leave.
The man saw that they were about to leave without saying a word and didn't react, but when the woman next to him pinched him hard, he gasped and rushed over to block their way.
"Please don't walk so fast, you two."
Lin Leyou found it strange. Did he know these two people? He had lived in this community for so long and had never seen them before. They were either original residents of the community or ordinary NPCs played by residents who had been assigned to the community.
So which one are they?
The two people stood there watching them, and the man and woman felt a little awkward under their gazes. Fortunately, the woman spoke up, "I just wanted to ask where you bought this little pet? I'd like to have one too."
Xue Rui put the tracking mouse directly into his pocket, then put it into his backpack, just in case.
Lin Leyou's eyes were unfriendly. "This is a Totoro. If you want one, you can buy one and keep it as a pet."
The woman paused for a moment. Totoro?
"Don't lie to me. I've seen Totoro before, but none of them are this small. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why make up such an excuse?"
Lin Leyou's gaze lingered on her for a moment. "I don't want to talk about it."
Upon hearing this, the man and woman were momentarily stunned and didn't react immediately, but they quickly realized that this was a response to what the woman had just said.
The woman's lips twitched, and her expression became somewhat strained. She still hugged the man beside her with a hint of grievance, saying, "He's so cold-hearted. I just wanted to ask about this pet, and he was so fierce."
The man was also a little embarrassed. "Gentlemen, if it's alright, can I pay for it? I'll pay double, no! Triple the price, how about you two sell it to me?"
Without saying a word, Xue Rui grabbed Lin Leyou and started to leave.
They were about to leave quickly, but the two men seemed to be clinging to them. "Don't go, don't go! It's just a rat, how much is it worth? It's fine if you don't want to say where you bought it. I'll give you this much money, you can go buy another one yourselves. Isn't it a good thing to sell this to me? You're getting so much money for free."
Lin Leyou said, "We're not selling. Don't stop us anymore. It's so late, we need to go home."
He felt something was off. These two seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and they must have come with a purpose to harass them. Could it really be for the tracking rats they had?
But... if they knew the inside story, they would definitely know that the tracking rat would never be sold, so they are just stalling for time?
Lin Leyou stopped talking the next second and immediately took out the flying device from his backpack. He put one arm around Xue Rui's waist, and the two of them were carried away by the flying device, without giving them any time to talk.
The aircraft flew them to the rooftop of Building 5, and they could walk directly down from there to get home.
Not long after they left, the man and woman showed signs of annoyance.
The woman said, "I'm leaving. It seems it still won't work."
The man said, "There's nothing I can do about not being able to find a topic to talk about, since we've never met before and don't know each other."
Using the tracking rat as a starting point was just a temporary solution, with the aim of delaying time, just as Lin Leyou and the others had thought. However... it failed.
At this moment, some thin black lines appeared around them, just like the thin black lines that had ambushed Lin Leyou and his group before.
The crack, stretching for tens of meters, is still clearly visible in the residential area. Many NPCs have seen it. The area around the crack has been cordoned off by security guards, who are not allowed to approach it.
The woman said, "If this doesn't work, let's look for other ways."
"What other options do they have? They just need to wait at their lodgings for a few hours, and once that time is up, the instance will be over."
"Then what's the point of saying this now? Is there any other way?"
The man sighed, then looked around. "Let's go. We've probably been exposed. There's probably something watching us here. Let's get out of here first."
The woman was a little worried. "What if we leave here? What's meant to be with us will follow us wherever we go."
The surveillance equipment is hidden in the shadows, and they can't shake it off at all.
The man said, "It's alright. As long as we leave here, those surveillance devices that are tracking us will naturally disappear."
The woman paused for a moment, then realized what she meant. "Alright, let's go."
The two left together, and behind them, and even further away, some black lines appeared and disappeared in the air and on the ground, as if searching for something, but in the end they seemed to find nothing.
On the rooftop, Lin Leyou and his companion looked at the tracking mouse in their hands. The tracking mouse was now responding, and the direction it was looking was exactly where they had just encountered the couple.
Lin Leyou: "The BOSS just appeared over there, probably to protect them."
Xue Rui: "It is indeed in that direction, but I'm not sure if there's only one BOSS left."
Lin Leyou checked the time. "There are about five hours left. Why are the monsters so determined to kill us? What good will it do to kill us in this dungeon?"
Xue Rui: "It's useful to me."
Lin Leyou is a resident, so it doesn't matter, but it might not be the case for Xue Rui.
How did he know your identity?
Xue Rui said, "He may not know, or it may just be targeting us."
Lin Leyou thought about it and realized that the ghost was actually targeting him. Xue Rui was just along with him and that's why he was also targeted. However, the tracking rat in his hand was indeed too powerful, which led to it being targeted as well.
"How are things now? Are you still going to look for it?"
Xue Rui said, "I don't think it's a question of whether we go looking for them or not, but rather that they will definitely come looking for us."
Lin Leyou said, "If he comes looking for me, I definitely won't let him get away with it."
Xue Rui said, "The black lines that appeared earlier indicate that this attack is definitely not simple. Your gold-plated defensive items may become ineffective."
