Chapter 95 [(*^▽^*)]
But it didn't matter; he acted as if nothing had happened and continued patrolling the neighborhood.
But gradually, his expression grew even colder than at the beginning. Those few dared to scheme against him, so they should be prepared to be hunted down to the bitter end.
While patrolling, he walked to the security booth in the community and reported what had just happened to the security captain.
The captain looked very surprised. "You mean, four thugs set a trap in the neighborhood to kill you?"
Lin Leyou nodded coldly, "That's right, one of them has already been killed by me, and the remaining three escaped. We don't know where they are hiding now."
The captain stroked his chin, making no particular reaction to the killing mentioned, but said, "Tell me the information on the remaining three, and I will notify the other security guards."
Lin Leyou told him everything he knew about the three of them, "Captain, these people..."
Captain: "Don't worry, I'll tell the other security guards and post notices in the community. If the other security guards encounter them, they'll subdue them."
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's good. We need to catch such vicious criminals as soon as possible."
The captain patted him on the shoulder. "I was surprised too. I didn't expect something like this to happen in the neighborhood. I'm glad you're alright. Okay, go back to patrol."
Lin Leyou left the guard booth, walking and thinking, but he still couldn't understand why these players would do this, since they all knew how important he was as a guard.
What good would it do them to kill him?
Do they have the ability and strength to find the BOSS and kill it on their own?
Or is it...?
He couldn't understand it at all. He wasn't a real player, so he couldn't really understand what players were thinking or how to put himself in their shoes. If someone could... um?
Isn't there a real gamer living in my house? And we have a pretty good relationship.
Lin Leyou took out her phone and sent a message to Xue Rui, briefly describing what had just happened.
Why do you think they did that?
Xue Rui was resting at home. Since Lin Leyou wouldn't let him go out, he would just obey and maybe he could actually pass the level.
He was somewhat shocked after receiving Lin Leyou's message.
"Brother Lin, are you saying they set a trap for you to kill you?"
Lin Leyou: "Yeah, I don't understand. I'm a security guard in this community. What's their purpose in doing this?"
On Xue Rui's side, Lin Leyou didn't know too many specific things about players, so he didn't know that he was being mistaken for a player by other players.
“I told them that security guards cannot be attacked while on duty, but they still attacked me, and of course, the attacks were ineffective.”
Xue Rui's previously anxious heart was relieved. Yes, security guards cannot be attacked.
"They might think you're lying to them and want to kill you and take your equipment."
Lin Leyou blinked. "That's right!"
In Qin Jiao's eyes, they were also players, and they even had such good equipment, especially the stun batons that were standard issue for security guards. If they could get their hands on these things, wouldn't they be able to kill gods and ghosts alike?
At least that's the case in this instance.
Lin Leyou: "So, they're doing all this to steal my uniform and stun gun?"
Xue Rui: "That's right, after all, they are really amazing."
Lin Leyou breathed a sigh of relief after figuring it out. He had thought it was some other complicated plan, but it turned out that they simply didn't believe his claim that the stun gun was invincible, thought he was just bluffing, and after witnessing the power of the stun gun, they wanted to steal it.
It's that simple.
Let's ask more specifically after we meet the remaining three people.
He jokingly replied to Xue Rui, "So, do you want it?"
Xue Rui: "I don't really need it. I can go out with Brother Lin."
Do you want it? Of course I want it!
Lin Leyou suddenly remembered what the captain had said. A total of four security guards had entered the hospital, which meant that there were now four sets of security guard uniforms and stun guns stored in the security room.
If we could make use of this, wouldn't that be...?
But not now. Let's ask when the time is right. Hopefully, the captain has that authority.
Lin Leyou wandered around the neighborhood until he got off work but didn't see the three players. It seemed they had gone back to hide. Well, there was nothing he could do about it.
After getting off work, he took advantage of the half hour he still had to go to the supermarket to buy some things before going home. He got home with about five minutes left before 4:30, which was pretty close to his limit.
Xue Rui, "Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou placed the items on the dining table. "There are some desserts, some cooked food, and some fruits and vegetables. Could you help me tidy up while I go change my clothes?"
Xue Rui stood up. "Okay."
Lin Leyou took his pajamas to the bathroom to change and took a shower. When he came out, he saw the cakes and cooked food he had bought at the supermarket, as well as some snacks, on the dining table.
Lin Leyou sat in the chair. "Let's eat and talk. I know you want to ask me about what I told you before."
Xue Rui sat there somewhat embarrassed. "I...I'm just a little worried."
Lin Leyou said, "It's okay, ask whatever you want. I'm actually quite angry too."
He casually picked up a piece of cake, took a bite, and found it quite delicious.
Xue Rui didn't dwell on it anymore. "How did you get to know them?"
Lin Leyou: "I told you about that before. I saw a group of people gathering in the square, and I was a little worried that they would have a conflict, so I just watched from the side."
"As a result, they seemed to treat me as one of their own, saying some strange things to me, saying that we needed to cooperate to find clues to complete some mission."
“When I went out on patrol today, they came to me and asked me about the security situation. After I answered truthfully, they said they wanted to cooperate with me to kill the evil spirits.”
When he got to this point, Xue Rui roughly understood everything. "So they're responsible for attracting the evil spirits out, and then you're sent to kill them, right?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's right, the result..."
Xue Rui, "So, you killed the evil spirit, but they didn't really want to kill it. They just wanted to lower your guard and make you trust them before they attacked you?"
Lin Leyou: "That should be it. The player who was responsible for luring me to a certain place has been killed by me. I didn't have time to ask for details... As for the remaining three, I couldn't find them even after I got off work. I don't know where they went."
Xue Rui sneered inwardly. Where else could they have gone? Of course, they were hiding in the accommodations assigned to the players by the system at the beginning. That way, as long as they didn't contact the security guards or come out on their own, Lin Leyou wouldn't be able to find them at all.
Just as Xue Rui was thinking about how to deal with them, Lin Leyou suddenly said, "Although I didn't find them while I was at work, I told the captain what they looked like, their names, and some other characteristics. The captain will tell the other security guards and also post notices in the community."
Xue Rui was stunned for a moment before he realized that what was in front of him was not a player, but an NPC. As an NPC, of course, there were other ways to deal with these players.
Moreover, Lin Leyou has blocked all three players' escape routes. As a player, what would happen if you were wanted by the main character of a dungeon?
“In that case… I…”
Lin Leyou shook her head. "Don't think too much about it. Just come out with me tomorrow after I go to work."
Xue Rui nodded, "Okay."
Lin Leyou said, "Since other security guards are being stalked and attacked by evil spirits when they are resting, then when I'm on duty, I just need to go to the other security guards' residences to look for them."
Xue Rui, of course, had no objection to this.
In the quiet of the night, when everyone is fast asleep, someone in a certain house is wide awake.
Lian Yushan carefully pulled back the curtains to look outside, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed that there was no movement. He then closed the curtains and returned to the living room, where he sat on the sofa.
"Yao Mo, what exactly is going on? Didn't you say that guy surnamed Lin wouldn't harm Qin Jiao? At least he could buy us some time to use the props to rescue her!"
Yao Mo's lips twitched. "How was I supposed to know that Lin Nanyue was so decisive, killing without hesitation? And those words weren't mine, they were Qin Jiao's own."
Tang Zhengchu's expression now was completely different from the gentlemanly demeanor he had shown in front of Lin Leyou; his face was cold and indifferent. "What a huge loss!"
"I never expected Lin Nanyue to be so heartless. She actually made up her mind to attack someone as beautiful as Qin Jiao in front of her, and without giving her any time to think about it!"
Yao Mo said, "We're down one person. What are we going to do now? Lin Nanyue is definitely wary of us. If she sees us again, she'll definitely attack us, let alone cooperate with us or get the stun gun."
"He's a security guard, so he has a significant advantage in terms of his status. We can only hide when he's on duty. Should we go out now?"
"Fortunately, we found out his working hours beforehand, which are from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so he can go out now. What do you think?"
Lian Yushan said, "I don't care. Maybe I can find more clues if I go out at night."
Yao Mo said, "But without Lin Nanyue as our security guard, how would we deal with evil spirits? That skeleton ghost during the day... if it weren't for him, we would have been wiped out."
Tang Zhengchu said, "Didn't we use props? If we encounter evil spirits again... we'll kill them if we can, and if we can't, we'll use the props to play dead again."
Yao Mo took a deep breath. "Let's go. We can't waste time. So far, apart from encountering evil spirits, we haven't found any serious clues, and we don't even know where this BOSS is hiding."
In fact, they were all ready. When Lian Yushan opened the door and looked out into the dark corridor, he felt a little scared. "I have a feeling... that the evil spirits in this instance are all targeting the players."
