Chapter 722 [(*^▽^*)]
"System notification: Congratulations to resident Lin Leyou for completing the main quest, finding and successfully merging with his other self, rewarding him with 100 million points. Would you like to leave the instance now?"
Lin Leyou: "I will not leave for the time being."
Unexpectedly, it actually worked. He had been fully focused on the Red Lotus in his backpack, ready to take it out immediately if anything unusual happened.
Lin Leyou blinked, then stepped out of the formation. He looked at the two Xue Ruis in the distance and said with a smile, "It's your turn. Go in, it's alright."
The two Xue Rui nodded to him and entered the formation. After the snake-man monster manipulated the formation, only one Xue Rui remained inside.
Lin Leyou didn't speak, but instead used the ring to ask, "How does it feel?"
Xue Rui: "Very good. The irritability and murderous urges I had before are gone."
Lin Leyou, "Shall we go?"
He asked if he meant leaving the instance, and Xue Rui nodded of course, "Let's go."
He had a bad feeling about this instance and wanted to leave now.
Just as they were about to leave, the snake-man spoke, "My people."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui were standing together when they heard what the snake-man monster said and looked at him. However, the snake-man monster did not speak. Instead, he turned around, took out a brick from behind him, and reached in to touch it.
After rummaging around inside for a while, he took out a box about the size of a palm and handed it to the two of them.
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow, but did not refuse. "Thank you, Village Chief."
Xue Rui followed up, "Thank you, Village Chief."
The young man said, "Gentlemen, let's go."
They didn't open the box rashly, but instead left. In the square, the young man said goodbye to them in a good mood, "Have a nice night."
He finished speaking and left, leaving the two of them staring at each other in the square.
At this point, they both regained all their memories and were unsure whether to go to villa number 15 or 16, but in the end they chose villa number 16.
After merging, they became human, but their powers as ghosts remained. Villa No. 16 is decorated with plants, making it even more suitable for them.
When they returned to their lodgings, they were faced with the snake-man monster, which was actually the box that the village chief had given them.
The box was only the size of a palm, but it couldn't be stored in the space, meaning it could only be opened within the instance. Of course, they didn't know what was inside.
Lin Leyou said, "I might as well put it in the next room and control the plants to turn on."
Xue Rui said, "To be on the safe side, it's safer to open it in the yard outside."
Lin Leyou thought about it and agreed, "Let's do it this way."
Although their mission was complete and they could leave the instance at any time.
Several vines drooped down beside him, then rolled up the box and carried it outside. They stood inside the window watching as the vines easily opened the box, revealing two... keys?
Lin Leyou, "The key."
Xue Rui's eyes lit up, "Could it be..."
Lin Leyou blinked. He had just learned that entering the Super Star Dungeon required a special key, and now he had obtained it? Wasn't that a bit too easy?
Lin Leyou: "I don't know if it is, let's see first."
The vines brought in the opened box, revealing two keys. They were antique-looking bronze lock keys with a golden snake wrapped around them, unlike the keys they had expected.
He took one of the keys from the box into his hand.
"System prompt: Use this key to travel to the village chief's hometown."
He handed the key to Xue Rui, who took it and examined it. "The key to the village chief's hometown."
After Lin Leyou picked up another key, the box in front of them suddenly turned into specks of light and disappeared, startling the two of them.
"The village chief's hometown... the hometown of the snake-man monster?"
Xue Rui: "To this day, we still haven't figured out what exactly this village chief is all about, or why he would help players complete the game."
Lin Leyou, "And is this key something that all players who voluntarily go to the village chief to fuse with can obtain? The player from last night was unconscious and we brought him there, so he didn't get it?"
Xue Rui, "Give it a try?"
Lin Leyou, "Should we stay here and find other players to try?"
In that case, they would have to find a way to deliberately leak this information without letting the players know that they did it on purpose. Is that feasible?
Xue Rui said, "Otherwise, let's leave."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Leyou said, "Let's go. Whether others can get this key or not is none of our business. Even if they could... what good would it do to go to that instance together..."
After discussing it, the two decided to stop exploring and leave the instance.
Actually... if they tried again, they would find that there are only two such keys in this instance, and even if other players go voluntarily, they will not be able to get them.
Lin Leyou took a deep breath after leaving the instance. He could finally relax for a while. Although he only earned 100 million points this time, at least he came out unscathed.
At this moment, Xue Rui said goodnight to him through the ring, and Lin Leyou replied with a smile, "I'll go to sleep in a bit, I'll miss you."
Xue Rui, "I will...miss you too."
Lin Leyou couldn't suppress the smile on his face; having a lover like Xue Rui was indeed something to be excited about.
For some time afterward, although Lin Leyou moved to a new house, he kept to himself and rarely went out. Apart from occasionally going out to buy supplies, he spent the rest of his time at home.
Of course, occasionally a couple of mechanical spiders would be sent to Xue Zhengyang's house to check on things. I wonder how that illegitimate son, Xue Qian, is doing. That guy is really tough; he's been targeted several times, but he's still alive.
And today...
Lin Leyou lay on the sofa in the villa, with the busy housekeeping robot in front of him, but his mind was not on it. He was thinking about what Qin Xingyu had said when he left yesterday.
"You're going back to school the day after tomorrow, so I'm giving you two days off. You don't need to come here these two days. Once you're in school, you can come during your holidays."
In other words... unless he officially graduates from Qin Xingyu's school, he will go to school on school days and go to Qin Xingyu's school on non-school days. Wouldn't that mean he has no time for himself?
Lin Leyou looked somewhat dejected. He took out his device and located all the names he could think of. When he located Zhou Nanyue, he suddenly realized that his location had actually moved from the border to the capital of Z Province... which is now the city where he is.
He didn't check the exact location carefully, since being here meant he had been arrested and sent to this prison.
He is currently in a prison. If he were to check the exact location, wouldn't he be able to find out where the prison is?
Wait! What if that thing isn't it? What if Nan Yue doesn't get caught this week, and he's just looking for a chance to come back and does something bad?
He immediately checked Zhou Nanyue's location again and found that he had moved.
Only two minutes have passed since then, and his location has already changed. Can this be considered prison? No.
Only then did he begin to pinpoint Zhou Nanyue's location. What was this person doing in H City? Wasn't he afraid of being arrested? What was his purpose in coming back...? Besides Zhou Feng, her father, who else was here?
There's also his mother, Liu Jiao, whom he sent to work in a factory. More than half a year has passed, and he doesn't know where Liu Jiao is now. Could Zhou Nanyue be after them?
He checked Liu Jiao's location and found that she was still in the factory he had sent there, where she was provided with food and lodging, and all the money she earned was hers. She must be very happy right now.
He sat up and tracked Zhou Nanyue's location in real time, discovering that he had entered the urban area of H City and was heading towards the factory where Liu Jiao was located.
Good grief, so he's here for his parents. What does he mean by this?
His parents... Zhou Feng is indeed a player, but Liu Jiao is an ordinary person. Does he want to cause trouble for an ordinary person?
Lin Leyou got up and looked out the window. The sun was blazing, making it unsuitable to go out, but he couldn't worry about that now. He could, of course, ignore it, but this Zhou Nanyue…
Lin Leyou once colluded with Xue Qian, and although there is no evidence now, he still put the two of them together. Perhaps they are still communicating in secret?
He was definitely going. He put on a mask and hat, grabbed his car keys, and drove away from the villa area. He arrived at the factory as quickly as possible. The area was full of factories, and the surrounding roads were wide. He randomly found a shady spot under a tree and parked his car there.
At that time, surveillance was not very widespread. Of course, it will be gradually installed after a while, and then people will not be able to come out so freely.
He waited in his car, surrounded by many other cars parked in the shade of the trees, where he stood out from the crowd.
He sat in the car for a while, then decided to get out. As he walked behind the closed factory gate, a security guard stopped him. "Hey, who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Lin Leyou: "Hello, does your factory have a female worker named Liu Jiao?"
The security guard didn't seem like someone who was just sitting around doing nothing; he looked wary. "Do you need something?"
Lin Leyou said, "Don't misunderstand. I was the one who brought her here to work. I just wanted to let you know that his gambling and abusive son has been looking for him recently. It seems he found out about this place and might come looking for him at any time."
The security guard was stunned for a moment. "What?! You're the young man who brought Sister Liu to work at the factory?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "It's me. I just came to remind you that if anyone asks her, just say there's no such person and you don't know anything about her. Just don't let her son find her, or she'll definitely be in trouble."
