Chapter 778 [(*^▽^*)]
So all we can do is wait?
Lin Leyou didn't have any other good ideas for the time being. As for this space... he secretly took out the Red Lotus from his backpack, but nothing happened.
He put the red lotus back into his backpack with peace of mind, then sat down and waited for Xue Rui to appear. They both had golden snake keys, and since he was here, Xue Rui should come too.
As he waited, in this pure white space, he seemed to lose track of time and gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Oh no, he wasn't asleep, he was just resting with his eyes closed.
Lin Leyou opened his eyes and looked back. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared behind him. Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Xue Rui.
Xue Rui was a little flustered, but upon seeing Lin Leyou, she immediately ran over with a smile and hugged him tightly. "Leyou... I... I thought..."
Lin Leyou patted his shoulder, "It's good that you're alright."
Xue Rui was a little embarrassed. He let go of Lin Leyou and said, "I...I was just worried..."
Lin Leyou said, "What's there to worry about? As long as nothing's wrong, let's find an exit now. The Super Star Dungeon is definitely more than just these childish challenges."
Xue Rui blinked. "Playing around?"
Lin Leyou was a little confused. For him, the previous experience was just like playing around. Wasn't it the same for Xue Rui?
What's going on? Is the difficulty level still random?
Xue Rui probably sensed Lin Leyou's confusion and explained, "Maybe it's because I'm facing you more realistically, and I always feel a little reluctant to do it."
Lin Leyou was speechless. What did Xue Rui say? The Xue Rui he knew didn't seem to say things like that? Wait, maybe he would say those things? But not this seriously?
Xue Rui, "What's wrong?"
He took Lin Leyou's hand and walked slowly forward. Although the surroundings were all the same and it didn't matter which way he went, since Xue Rui was willing to walk, then let's go.
Lin Leyou shook his head. "It's nothing, I just find it strange."
Xue Rui turned to look at him. "Am I the one who's strange?"
Lin Leyou glanced at his black jade ring but remained silent.
Xue Rui suddenly replied, "Then I misspoke. How about I apologize?"
Lin Leyou blinked. Oh, so he could hear it. That meant the black jade ring on the other person's hand was real.
Where he couldn't see, a golden light was hidden beneath his neck, and he felt a little uncomfortable at the back of his neck, so he reached out and scratched it.
Only after finding nothing did he come to his senses. Although the black jade ring was real, it didn't change the strange feeling Xue Rui gave him.
“You…” But he didn’t know how to say it.
Xue Rui stopped in his tracks. "Hmm?"
Just now, Lin Leyou stopped moving forward and stood still. Since that was the case, he had no choice but to stop as well. "What's wrong?"
Lin Leyou asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, "It's nothing, I just randomly picked a direction and started walking forward, and I was getting a little bored standing still."
Lin Leyou sighed and sat down on the ground. Xue Rui sat down next to him. "Tired?"
He glanced at Xue Rui but didn't say anything.
Xue Rui smiled indulgently and said, "I know you want to rest."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand. Shall we eat something?"
Lin Leyou leaned forward, pretending to take food out of his backpack, but what appeared in his hand was a blooming red lotus.
When the palm-sized, light flame, like red smoke, appeared before the two of them, Xue Rui's expression changed drastically, and he immediately moved away.
However, even with an extremely fast reaction speed, it was already too late.
Lin Leyou's eyes seemed to be covered in frost as he coldly looked at the so-called Xue Rui who was rolling on the ground in the distance, wailing incessantly. This person... had revealed his flaws from the very beginning.
Even he hesitated for a moment after coming out of that strange place because of his restored memories, but Xue Rui communicated with him very smoothly as soon as he came out, as if he had never lost his memories.
The subsequent conversation was full of loopholes, making him feel as if the difficulty of this super-star dungeon was just a joke on him. Afterwards, he used the black jade ring to talk to the other party for a long time.
But Xue Rui knew what he was saying, yet he never used the black jade ring to communicate with him. Instead, he spoke directly, not to mention pulling him forward earlier.
He had just come from that place, and now he was being dragged forward. Who knew if this seemingly empty white space might contain passages to strange places?
"Why! Why..."
Lin Leyou looked at the burning figure in the distance, and slowly rose, holding the red lotus in his hands. "How could the real Xue Rui be burned? He always received the baptism of the red lotus regularly with me."
"You can hear what I'm saying through the black jade ring, which means that what you're wearing on your finger is definitely real. You can hear it, but you can't use it."
"This means that this body is indeed Xue Rui's, but the soul inside is another matter. Don't you think so?"
It wasn't Xue Rui's body that was burning, but rather the uninvited guest hidden within it.
As expected, it had reached its limit by now, and large amounts of black smoke continued to churn out of Xue Rui's body, gathering into a cloud in the sky.
Of course, even if it separated from Xue Rui's body, he couldn't get rid of those flames, since they weren't burning Xue Rui's body, but rather burning themselves.
Wherever it is, these flames will follow. At this moment, Xue Rui, who was lying on the ground, slowly turned around. The expression he showed the moment his consciousness returned gave Lin Leyou a strong sense of familiarity.
That's right, this person is the real Xue Rui, inside and out. He saw Lin Leyou holding the Red Lotus, and the black mist burning in the sky, emitting sharp screams.
Xue Rui immediately stood up and stood next to Lin Leyou. "Are you alright?"
Lin Leyou looked at him, "Do you remember what happened before?"
Xue Rui's expression shifted slightly, and he nodded somewhat reluctantly, "Yes."
Lin Leyou found it somewhat amusing. "What? Are you jealous?"
Xue Rui: "He hugged you just now and held your hand."
Lin Leyou suddenly thought of his previous experiences. He didn't know how many times the imposters Xue Qian and Xue Rui had been arrested. If he knew, would he be extremely jealous?
Forget it, let's just keep it from him. Anyway, it's just a challenge set up in a dungeon, not a real person. He doesn't believe that the NPCs in the super-star dungeon are played by residents.
"Then kill him, how about that?"
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay."
Lin Leyou took out the Soul-Splitting Dagger. "This thing is useful. Take it and kill it. Doing it yourself will at least vent your anger. Go."
Xue Rui remained silent, his face grim. He took the Soul-Splitting Blade and slowly walked towards the burning object ahead. Only then did the other party realize what was happening and try to escape.
But at this moment... it couldn't move too fast at all. After all, the pain brought by the karmic fire occupied all its consciousness. Even if it thought of escaping, its thoughts couldn't control its body.
It could only watch helplessly as Xue Rui used the Soul-Splitting Blade to slowly and painfully cut it to death, as if it were being slowly sliced to pieces.
After Xue Rui killed the thing that had taken over his body, he did not receive any system notification. Both of them were somewhat confused about the situation.
Lin Leyou carefully put away the Soul-Splitting Blade, and then planned to put away the Red Lotus as well. However, after thinking about it carefully, he realized that the Red Lotus might still be useful, so he continued to hold it in his hand.
"Let's just pick a direction and walk around, maybe we can..."
Thinking of her past experiences, Xue Rui casually took his hand and said, "Let's go."
Lin Leyou didn't expose him, and the two of them chose a direction and kept walking forward. In this pure white space, the red lotus in his hand seemed like a candle flame that could be blown out with a breath.
However, this seemingly insignificant flame began to unleash its unique power as they continued to move forward.
About three steps to Lin Leyou's left, something unseen was suddenly ignited by the red lotus. As the flames spread, they could see that it was a rectangular object, resembling a door.
The two stood there staring at the door, and... as time passed, the wails and cries for help emanating from inside the door seemed to be the cries of countless people pleading for help. The sounds piled up one after another, a torment to their ears.
Lin Leyou said, "It should be similar to what we experienced before. There are other players inside this door. I didn't expect that lighting this door would actually set everything inside on fire."
"That player is probably in grave danger."
Xue Rui: "It has nothing to do with us."
Lin Leyou said, "Let's keep going."
They continued forward, and along the way, thanks to Honglian, they successfully avoided at least ten doors in their path, ten doors that were right in front of them.
If the Red Lotus hadn't ignited it, they would have definitely plunged in headfirst, perhaps having their memories sealed and being thrown into a familiar or unfamiliar place, just like before.
The two walked and walked, unable to feel the passage of time, but they knew that after walking for a very long time, they once again avoided a door directly in front of them.
"Which door is this?"
Xue Rui: "If I remember correctly, it's the 126th door."
Lin Leyou let out a long sigh of relief, "Is there no end to this?"
Xue Rui looked ahead into the unknown, "It's okay, just keep going."
Lin Leyou glanced at him, "Hmm..."
After a while, Lin Leyou suddenly asked, "Have you noticed that the time intervals between these doors appearing have shortened? At first, they probably appeared every few hours, but was there a half-hour interval between the door just now and the one we're seeing now?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "About half an hour."
Lin Leyou's eyes lit up. "Does this mean we'll be at the end soon?"
