Chapter 86 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou said, "I will patrol the entire neighborhood. You can watch my location and look for clues around me. If you find anything, you can come find me immediately."
"You must never let them know you're nearby when you're attracting them."
Qin Jiao: "Don't worry about that, we're not beginners either."
Yao Mo was also very confident about this, saying, "I already have an idea. Let's go. I feel more at ease if we act together and cooperate with each other."
Qin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem. In that case, let's go check out Building No. 3 where we encountered the female ghost last night. Brother Lin will be coming to find us later. If we don't show up for a long time, we'll have to leave it to you."
Lin Leyou agreed.
Watching their retreating figures, he hoped he hadn't made a mistake in using this method.
There's nothing I can do about it. These little monsters run away and hide very well when they encounter me, and I can't just waste my invincible state during work hours.
The reason Xue Rui had to say so much to these players was actually for his own benefit. Aren't players just there to be used? Of course, it wouldn't hurt for him to take out a few useless cannon fodder when he had the chance.
After they disappeared from sight, Lin Leyou got up and walked in the direction they had left. He looked around, wondering where Xue Rui had gone.
Did they really go to Building 1?
Soon Lin Leyou received a message from Xue Rui: "Building 1".
Lin Leyou calmly put away his phone and slowly walked towards Building 1. He didn't take the route most people took, but instead went through the path in the green belt.
As he approached Building 1, he received a number 5 from Xue Rui. He then slowly approached the entrance of Unit 5 within the green area.
About two minutes later, Xue Rui sent a string of gibberish. Lin Leyou rushed out of the green belt as fast as he could, reached the unit door, pulled the door open with his left hand, and held the stun gun in his right hand.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Xue Rui rushing towards him, with a hideous demon behind him. Lin Leyou's eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted, "Crouch down!"
Before Xue Rui could even process what was happening, his body reacted. However, because he had rushed too fast and couldn't stop in time, he knelt down as he crouched down, instinctively grabbing Lin Leyou's legs with both hands.
Lin Leyou didn't have time to react to his action. He subconsciously raised the stun gun and slammed it hard on the evil spirit behind him, which hadn't been able to stop in time. The evil spirit immediately collapsed to the ground, convulsing continuously.
While panting, Xue Rui helped Lin Leyou to his feet. He leaned against the wall to rest, while Lin Leyou pulled a sharp knife from his pocket, blocking Xue Rui's view as he was breathing heavily behind him.
He stabbed the convulsing demon on the ground twice, but it wasn't enough!
This male demon is quite powerful; two strikes weren't enough. In that case, let's do another strike. Three strikes should be enough, right?
As expected, after the third strike, the demon gradually turned into gray fragments and disappeared into the air amidst screams, leaving behind a card.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for slaying an evil spirit and gaining 80 points!"
Before Xue Rui could see clearly, he first put away the dagger in his hand, then looked through the card and found that it was the same as the item that had dropped after he killed the female ghost.
"Click to use and you will randomly receive a mechanical item."
He thought about it and realized that this card seemed a little different. He had killed a female ghost before, and naturally, the same mechanical spider would appear when the female ghost appeared.
But the demon I just killed had 80 points, while the female ghost only had 50 points. That's such a big difference. Could the item I get from this card not be a mechanical spider?
He didn't shy away from the fact that he clicked to use it.
"Congratulations on obtaining a blue-grade mechanical spider. This mechanical spider requires 10 points to activate and consumes 1 point for every hour of use."
grass!
Xue Rui, having rested, also came over to take a look. "What is that?"
Lin Leyou tossed the ball in her hand to him, "Do you want it? Here you go..."
Xue Rui reached out and caught the item. After examining it, he accepted it well. After all, these days, the only other ways to obtain items besides buying them in the shop, participating in lotteries, and getting them in dungeons are...
The items in the shop are ridiculously expensive, and he hasn't been able to accumulate enough points to buy a decent item yet. As for the lottery? That's an even deeper pit!
Only items obtained from dungeons are slightly better; he likes even blue-quality items, and they're basically free.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Leyou: "I'm not interested in these little trinkets. You can have them if you want."
He still had two mechanical spiders in his backpack, but they weren't activated yet. Maybe they weren't some kind of junk, but he just hadn't activated them so he didn't know what they were for.
Xue Rui blinked. He felt that the longer they spent together, the less Mr. Lin seemed to hide his true emotions from him.
Small piece of trash...
Lin Leyou said, "Alright, find a place to rest first. If you want to continue the operation, remember to let me know in advance. Also, remember to contact me if there are any other issues."
Xue Rui blinked. "Mr. Lin, what if we spend a lot of time together, and those evil spirits realize we're connected and stop chasing me?"
Lin Leyou: "No, they won't find out."
Xue Rui, "What?"
Lin Leyou said, "Because all the evil spirits that sense my presence will run far away, they won't know anything about our conversation. They won't even know we're together. As for which ghosts died, and who killed them..."
"Is it like if you're in Building 5, do you know who killed someone in Building 1?"
Xue Rui blinked blankly, "It seems...it seems like that."
Lin Leyou said, "But just to be on the safe side, let's cover it up a bit. I'll go first, and you can leave after a while."
Xue Rui had no objections, "No problem!"
After leaving Building 1, Lin Leyou quickly took a side path towards Building 3. Yao Mo and Qin Jiao had told him about their experience in Building 3 the night before, and the direction they had just left was also towards Building 3.
If that's the case, then I should be fine going that way.
Qin Jiao and Yao Mo are currently strolling leisurely in the corridor of Unit 3, Building 3.
Qin Jiao cautiously observed her surroundings. "Do you think she'll ever appear here again?"
Yao Mo said, "Luckily, we managed to slip away last night. It must be furious. It will definitely not let us off the hook if it finds us here again."
Qin Jiao: "So now all we can do is pray it's still here?"
Yao Mo: "They shouldn't have gone too far. We can wait here; they might appear soon."
Qin Jiao let out a long breath, "I've played so many dungeons and my clearance rate isn't low, but this is the first time I've blatantly and actively sought out ghosts."
Yao Mo: "Maybe we'll encounter similar situations again in the future, let's get used to it first."
Qin Jiao rubbed her arms. "It seems a bit cold. What do you think?"
Yao Mo touched the skin on her arm. "It does seem a little colder than before, but not noticeably. I wonder if they've spotted us."
Qin Jiao said, "In short, let's go downstairs first. If we can get out, it means everything is fine."
Yao Mo didn't waste any words, "Let's go."
The two quickly went downstairs. As they walked down two floors from the third floor and were about to open the stairwell door, they suddenly noticed a number 3 above them!
Still on the third floor!
A ghost wall!
The two immediately stood back to back and observed their surroundings.
Qin Jiao gritted her teeth, "They came so fast, so silently. If we hadn't seen this number, we wouldn't have known we'd been infected! I wonder if that young man Lin will even realize we're in trouble."
Yao Mo: "Now we can only hope he arrives soon."
Qin Jiao said, "That won't do. We have to lure this female ghost out before he arrives. Otherwise, even if he comes, the female ghost is well hidden and can escape immediately."
Yao Mo took a deep breath. "This is really bad."
Lin Leyou didn't know which unit they had entered, so he could only carefully hide himself outside the building and see which unit had a problem.
Meanwhile, Qin Jiao and Yao Mo were carefully walking in the corridor, but no matter whether they went up or down, they could only reach the third floor.
They didn't dare open the stairwell door at all. They had tried to open it last night, but what appeared before them was not a corridor, but the same old stairwell.
Furthermore, the stairwell opposite the door is even more eerie. There are no lights, it's pitch black, and there are even strange rustling sounds. It's terrifying. I only looked at it for a few seconds yesterday and my hair stood on end.
Of course, it might just be a trick by evil spirits, but they dared not gamble. What if? What if it's even more dangerous inside?
Qin Jiao, "Do you remember how we left last night?"
Yao Mo: "Of course I remember. They used my props to move us to the road outside the building, which is how we escaped. But those props are no longer available."
Qin Jiao felt a little regretful. Maybe she shouldn't have come, but... whether she regretted it or not, she was already here. Now she just needed to figure out how to stall for time until Lin Leyou found out and came looking for them.
And they need to lure the female ghost out during this period, otherwise if the female ghost notices Lin Leyou in advance, she will only run away and hide, and all their previous efforts will be in vain.
Yao Mo: "Let's try going down further."
The two walked down the stairs, one looking ahead and the other behind, but no matter how long they walked, the floor in front of them was always number 3.
Yao Mo: "Let's try going up again after coming down."
The result was the same for both of them when they went up.
Qin Jiao: "Didn't we already try everything? Will there be any changes if we try it again now?"
Of course, nothing has changed.
