Chapter 97 [(*^▽^*)]
The security guard stood a short distance away, staring at him for a while before saying, "Hey, who are you? What are you doing here so late?"
Tang Zhengchu let out a long sigh of relief. "Hello, I just encountered something dangerous. Could you... please take me back?"
The security guard paused for a moment, then glanced at the door of the building he had just run out of. He looked around, and only after confirming there was nothing else amiss did he sigh and mutter, "He got away..."
"Alright, tell me where you live, and I'll take you home."
Tang Zhengchu: "Thank you!"
He walked up to the security guard. There was a little distance between them before, so he couldn't see what Tang Zhengchu looked like, since the streetlights weren't very bright.
But now that we're closer...
After seeing his face, the security guard scrutinized him for a long time with extreme disapproval. "Your name is Tang Zhengchu?"
Tang Zhengchu was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously. Then he suddenly realized, how did this security guard know his name?
Before he could even process what was happening, his body reacted first, instinctively trying to escape. In that instant, the security guard in front of him struck him with a stick—yes, the same stun gun that he had been so eager to use in Lin Leyou's hand.
This is a security guard too; he also has a stun gun!
I'd never seen Lin Leyou use a stun gun before, but now I have, but the target was himself.
Tang Zhengchu didn't even put up any resistance before his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
The security guard sneered, "He's definitely no good. Wandering around outside so late at night, who knows what kind of bad things he's up to."
He grabbed Tang Zhengchu's arm, dragged him toward the security booth, and casually tossed him to the captain at the booth.
"What happened?"
“I happened to run into him. He said he encountered something evil and came to me for help. I didn’t see anything evil, so it must have been hiding. I didn’t let this person go either. I didn’t expect to be so lucky.”
Captain, "Put the person down, you can continue your patrol."
"OK."
The security guard left quickly, leaving only the captain looking at the unconscious man on the ground. He then went into the security room, found a rope, tied him up, and threw him outside the security room door.
Ten minutes isn't a long time, and Tang Zhengchu woke up soon after. He looked around groggily, and when he realized what was happening and tried to stand up, he found himself tied up.
"woke up?"
He subconsciously followed the gaze and saw the security team captain sitting there. "You're that... captain?"
The captain nodded. "It really is me."
In front of Tang Zhengchu, he weighed the stun gun in his hand and said, "I advise you to behave yourself. If you dare to do anything, don't blame me, understand?"
Tang Zhengchu: "Um...did I do something wrong? Why are you treating me like this?"
The captain sneered, "Why? Don't you know yourself?"
Tang Zhengchu thought it over and over, making sure he hadn't offended anyone from the security team... Wait! Speaking of which, Lin Nanyue, although a player, seems to be a security guard?
Was the attack on him...?
He cautiously glanced at the security captain sitting to the side, "Um... it's about that Lin..."
The captain interrupted him, having no patience to listen to the thug's nonsense. "Since you know that, that's good. Xiao Lin is one of our community's security guards. You and three others set a trap to attack him, which is going against us!"
"Xiao Lin has already killed one himself, which is good. Anyone who causes trouble in the community and disrupts order should be punished!"
"As for what to do with you, we'll decide when Xiaolin comes to work tomorrow. After all, you attacked him, not me, so I have no right to make decisions for him."
After saying that, she seemed very angry and casually hit him with the stun gun in her hand. Before Tang Zhengchu could do anything, he once again collapsed to the ground with his eyes rolled back.
Tang Zhengchu probably never imagined that he would not die at the hands of evil spirits, but instead fall into the hands of security guards who were supposed to protect the residents of the community and maintain order.
Yao Mo and Lian Yushan, who had escaped beforehand, have now returned to their residence. They closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and huddled in the side bedroom, trembling with fear.
Lian Yushan: "Was that the BOSS just now?"
Yao Mo: "I...I don't know, maybe it is, maybe it isn't."
Lian Yushan said, "Tang Zhengchu hasn't returned; he's probably in grave danger."
Yao Mo said, "It's okay. Even if we stay there to help him, we're doomed. We have to escape... We have a chance to survive if we retreat first."
Lian Yushan seemed not to have heard him say the word "escape," and said, "You're right."
The two sat in the side bedroom for a long time.
Lian Yushan: "Tang Zhengchu did not return."
Yao Mo: "He should be dead."
Lian Yushan was anxious. Tang Zhengchu was close to him. If he died, the mission would be difficult. How could Yao Mo cooperate with him alone?
"What do we do? Now it's just the two of us left, and we've offended Lin Nanyue. Even if we wanted to cooperate with the security guards, we can't. We might not be able to clear this dungeon."
Yao Mo: "Let's put that aside for now. Do you think that evil spirit we just saw will come after us after it killed Tang Zhengchu?"
Lian Yushan was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know. Should we turn on the light and take a look?"
Yao Mo: "Will turning on the lights attract evil spirits?"
Lian Yushan: "I don't know. Aren't evil spirits more likely to appear in the darkest places?"
Yao Mo, “…”
Lian Yushan, "..."
The two remained silent; regardless of whether evil spirits came or not, they knew they wouldn't be getting any sleep that night.
Some time has passed.
Yao Mo: "It's almost midnight. Do you think evil spirits will appear? Like the one before."
Lian Yushan said, "We run fast, so they shouldn't remember us."
Yao Mo: "Then...should we turn on the light and take a look?"
Lian Yushan asked in confusion, "...Afraid of the dark?"
Yao Mo shook his head, "No, it's just that I can't see it very clearly."
Lian Yushan said, "I can't see clearly either, but the lights in the whole community should be off now, except for the streetlights and the security booth at the main gate. Are you sure you want to turn the lights on?"
Now that the lights are on, their room is the most conspicuous in the entire neighborhood.
Yao Mo: "I feel a little cold."
Lian Yushan said, "I didn't feel cold. The props told me that there were no evil spirits in this building."
Yao Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Really? That's good, that's good!"
Just as the entire neighborhood was asleep, Lin Leyou was awakened by the noise of his phone; he had been sleeping very comfortably.
He picked up his phone and saw it was his captain calling. What happened?
Sitting up, Lin Leyou quickly answered the phone, "Captain, it's me, what's up?"
The captain didn't waste any words. "Your work hours have been changed. Now it starts at midnight and ends at noon tomorrow. Come to work immediately."
Lin Leyou glanced at the time; there were still twenty minutes until midnight.
Now the working hours have been changed and increased to twelve hours, which means that just recently, an accident happened to the security guard who was on duty!
Instead of another security guard resting at home.
Otherwise, it would only cause the security guards who are currently on duty to extend their working hours, while my working hours would be from noon to midnight.
But... how could that be?
Aren't security guards in uniform not allowed to be attacked during working hours? How could this have happened?
He didn't have time to think it through. He quickly got up and prepared, opening his backpack to check the uniform and stun gun inside. Sure enough, they were already usable.
He put on his uniform, grabbed his stun gun, and wore a hat and mask.
Just as he was about to open the door and leave, Xue Rui rubbed his eyes and came out from the side bedroom. "What's wrong, Brother Lin?"
Lin Leyou: "I'm a little anxious right now. I'll text you when I have time. You should rest first."
Xue Rui yawned, trying to quickly wake himself up. "Okay."
After Lin Leyou left, Xue Rui belatedly realized that since Lin Leyou dared to go out now, it must be because it was time for work.
What could have caused him to change his work hours?
It's easy to guess; something happened to the other security guards.
He washed up, changed his clothes, and sat on the sofa waiting for Lin Leyou to send him a message. There must be a lot of evil spirits outside at night, so he couldn't miss this opportunity.
Just as Lin Leyou closed the door, he saw a phantom-like ghostly figure drifting over from the elevator, eager to attack him.
Lin Leyou retaliated with a stun gun, finishing off the elusive brat with a single blow before leaving.
"Congratulations to Lin Leyou for slaying an evil spirit. You are awarded 20 points."
He casually picked up a mechanical card, stuffed it into his backpack, and rushed over to the captain as fast as he could. Before he could even speak, he saw Tang Zhengchu slumped at the door.
Captain, "You're here?"
Lin Leyou looked away. "Um, Captain, what exactly happened? Something happened to the security guards on patrol? What's going on? Didn't they say..."
The captain sighed, "Sigh... of course it's because they're too cunning. They can't attack security guards on duty, no attack will work, but they can make the security guards put themselves in danger."
Lin Leyou, "Did you lure him to a dangerous place, and then he got injured because of his own mistake?"
Captain: "Yes, he was asked for help by a resident of the community and went to the lakeside, where he was hit by a broken tree branch. He has now fractured his lower leg and has been sent to the hospital. He won't be fully recovered for several months."
Lin Leyou: "Then there are only three security guards left?"
One security captain and two patrolling security guards.
The captain looked somewhat troubled. "Yes, things are going to get a little difficult from here on out. When will things return to normal?"
At this point, the captain slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to Tang Zhengchu lying on the ground, "Do you recognize this person?"
Lin Leyou looked closely and was surprised to find that it was Tang Zhengchu. Even more surprising was that he had been caught by other security guards, the same security guard who had just been involved in the incident.
