Chapter 81 [(*^▽^*)]
He didn't see any team players, let alone any lone players. It seems that this group of players is very skilled and cautious. It will be much more difficult for him to kill them than before.
Qin Jiao greeted him immediately, "Hello Lin Nanyue, we've been waiting here for a while."
Lin Leyou said, "I came over after I finished eating."
There were only ten people in the small square, including him; the rest probably wouldn't come.
"Let's talk. The rest of you don't need to wait any longer."
Qin Jiao waved her hand, "I don't care, let's start. Yao Mo, have you found anything?"
Lin Leyou focused his gaze on the man Qin Jiao called Yao Mo. This was the last man left in the morning. He was tall and muscular, with no prominent muscles, and was obviously a trained fighter.
Lin Leyou thought for a moment, why not learn some martial arts skills in addition to learning to drive and cook? Although he has some experience now, he would definitely lose if he were to fight someone who is really good, unless he borrows props or something.
He doesn't want to be the weak one.
He was especially thinking about Xue Rui, who could live for decades to come.
Lin Leyou also realized that he had a deep impression of Xue Rui, but there was nothing he could do about it. He died because of Xue Rui in his previous life, and he was able to become an NPC in the Endless World in this life because of him.
It can be said that everything I have achieved now is deeply related to the other party, and I certainly cannot forget it easily. In fact, as time goes by, I will remember it more and more deeply.
Yao Mo sighed, "What could you possibly find in broad daylight? I've searched my home, the entire building, and even the whole neighborhood, and everything seems normal."
Qin Jiao stroked her chin. "Actually, it's the same on my end. Do all those things have to wait until tonight to come out? Or should we talk about it tonight?"
Yao Mo: "That's what I was thinking too. By the way, you're a security guard, have you found anything over there?"
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. "The security guard's identity is special. I've been patrolling or dealing with trivial matters all morning. If there's anything wrong with me, it's that I kicked a troublemaking NPC out of the community. Of course, I don't know if I really kicked him out, and I won't try to."
Yao Mo was taken aback. "They were kicked out through the main gate?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes."
Yao Mo was a little concerned, "Could you describe it in more detail? What was his complexion like when he went out? Did he make any noise after entering the fog?"
Lin Leyou, "What sound did you make? No, but as for your expression, it was one of displeasure, since you were kicked out."
Yao Mo, "So there are no abnormalities?"
He seemed somewhat eager to try.
Lin Leyou stopped them, saying, "That's an NPC. Players shouldn't try it on their own, after all..."
Yao Mo sighed, "Yeah, after all, dying means failing to pass the level and losing points. I don't really care, since I have enough points anyway, but it's not good to fail like this. Points aren't meant to be wasted."
Qin Jiao looked at the remaining people, "What about you?"
Since they've come here, they're all hoping to exchange intelligence or seek cooperation, since no one knows if they'll actually survive.
Everyone shook their heads, and no one found anything unusual. Lin Leyou, on the other hand, thought it was quite normal. It was still daytime on the first day, so those ghosts and monsters were unlikely to appear.
Or perhaps they specifically target players who are searching for clues alone, which was probably the case last time as well. Based on this, we can deduce that these ghosts may not be particularly strong.
So next time you encounter that female teacher ghost, maybe you can try slashing her three times with the cursed dagger. If that doesn't kill her... just go home immediately.
"In that case, let's go back first and meet up here again in the evening, around six o'clock."
Six o'clock...
Lin Leyou would never leave her home outside of working hours, so...
"Sorry, I won't be coming. We'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Lin Leyou turned and left without giving them a chance to ask why.
Yao Mo sighed as he watched his retreating figure, "He's a decent player. It would be great if we could recruit him."
Qin Jiao: "Yes, but it's a pity. She doesn't seem interested in me. Maybe she likes men? Why don't you give it a try?"
Yao Mo looked disgusted. "Don't talk nonsense. Look at the way he spoke to me just now. Did he seem interested in me?"
Qin Jiao covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, it was just a joke, don't take it seriously."
"By the way, what are you planning to do this afternoon? This neighborhood seems too normal, but that's precisely what makes it strange. Is it really true that nothing will happen during the day, and those things will only come out at night?"
Yao Mo glanced at the players who had just left, then led Qin Jiao away, saying, "Who knows?"
Qin Jiao said, "There's no other way but to come out and check it out tonight."
Yao Mo: "But this security guard won't come out tonight; he won't come until tomorrow morning. What do you think?"
Qin Jiao touched her hair. "I feel like there's something going on, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's because I know some secrets, like not being allowed to go out at night?"
Yao Mo paused for a moment, "We can't go out at night, and we can't find anything during the day, so how are we supposed to complete this instance's quest?"
Qin Jiao said, "That's true. We have to go out and search tonight. I just don't know what secret Lin Nanyue has discovered. Honestly, she's discovered such a big secret and she won't tell us. What if we accidentally die?"
"It's quite difficult to understand the rules of this instance. By the way, did you really not encounter anything? Nothing, like any kind of evil spirits."
Yao Mo smiled and said, "Of course I didn't run into them. You didn't either, I can tell."
Qin Jiao sighed silently. "Yes, I wasn't lying. I really didn't encounter any. This neighborhood is so clean at first glance. I asked some NPCs if they knew of any haunted houses or strange places in the neighborhood, but they all said they didn't know anything about them."
Yao Mo: "Lin Nanyue is a security guard, he must know a lot."
"But what's the point if he doesn't tell you? Are you going to ask him?"
"Let's wait until we meet tomorrow to talk about it. I have a feeling he's not simple, or maybe he wants an equal exchange. Let's find something of value first and then exchange it with him. Then he won't be so secretive anymore."
Qin Jiao thought this made a lot of sense. "Then let's do as you say. Shall we go for a walk in the neighborhood together tonight? It's safer than going alone."
Yao Mo considered it for a moment and agreed. They had worked together in another instance before and the experience was quite good, so there was no problem with working together again this time.
"Okay, let's meet here at six o'clock tonight."
Qin Jiao smiled and left. As long as the goal was achieved, nothing else mattered.
Lin Leyou didn't encounter anything in the community this afternoon and arrived at the end of the workday peacefully. He said goodbye to the team leader at around 4 p.m. and had to hurry home.
The items available during these working hours can be used until 4:30, just like they could be used at 7:30 in the morning. This lack of strict usage time is very friendly to him.
He was a little disappointed not to see the other security guards who were handing over their shift to him. Speaking of the other two security guards, he had only seen their photos and names in the security room, and knew nothing else about them.
However, it's not a big problem. If there are problems within the security team, then this instance will be doomed.
He got home and was about to open the door when he heard the door to the stairwell behind him being kicked open with a bang, followed by hurried footsteps in the hallway.
Upon seeing the person in a security guard uniform with their back to him, he shouted, "Hey! There's a ghost behind you, get out of the way!"
Lin Leyou turned around and saw two people running in. He didn't recognize them... wait, he didn't recognize the one in front, but he recognized the one behind!
Not only do we know each other, but we are also very familiar with each other.
How could this be? How did Xue Rui end up in this instance? I didn't see him in the small square before... wait, when we met up in the small square this morning, two players were missing.
So these are the two?
Oh no! If Xue Rui sees him, then what will happen... So Lin Leyou decided to stand still and turn his back to them.
Xue Rui had been keeping an eye on the stairwell, but when he realized that the things that had been chasing them hadn't followed, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the floor to rest against the wall.
"They didn't catch up?"
"No……"
"Thank goodness, they didn't catch up, we survived!"
Xue Rui's gaze fell on the security guards, but because they had their backs to them, he couldn't tell who they were.
"Um... hello?"
Lin Leyou recognized that it was Xue Rui's voice. Would he recognize her voice if she spoke now?
Since I can't change my voice, I don't speak, I just open the door and go home?
That won't do. Xue Rui can't be killed so easily, so we'll definitely run into him outside tomorrow, most likely!
What will we do then? We'll be seen sooner or later, so it's better to... wait, there's more than just Xue Rui here, there's another player too. Even if we're going to talk, we'll only communicate with Xue Rui.
Seeing that he didn't speak or react and just stood there motionless, Xue Rui felt a little uneasy, and another player who was originally resting started to get scared again.
The two shakily helped each other to their feet. The entire corridor was eerily quiet. The other player felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, and he could almost hear the roaring sound of his blood churning within him.
No one dared to make a move, and even Lin Leyou was a little scared. What should he do now?
In the end, the player couldn't take it anymore and fled while screaming. Now, only Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were left in the corridor.
"Great," Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief. If it were only Xue Rui, then there would be no problem.
He slowly turned around. Xue Rui hadn't managed to escape immediately, and now he had his only gold-plated weapon, a dagger, in his hand. If this strange security guard attacked him...
Unexpectedly, the security guard's first words were...
"Zheng Li?"
