Chapter 301: Broken Limits
The two little mice hiding under the table felt relieved, but Lin Jiu didn't care about their mental journey.
He didn't even release any murderous intent that could be detected by others. The thought of taking action only flashed through his mind for a moment, but if you looked closely, you could notice the tiny movement of his fingers unconsciously stroking.
That is a relatively dangerous signal.
But in the end, Lin Jiu did nothing. After calming down, he did not leave immediately. He put some pressure on the two little mice before slowly leaving the restaurant.
This was just a little prank.
Who told those two little mice to react so strongly?
Lin Jiu still found the Blue Rose waiter who had not left.
It was just a simple request: help him prepare the bath water before the game was over.
Based on the position of the rose totem, Lin Jiu determined that the blue rose waiter was the one who asked them to draw lots before. As expected, the other party agreed and his attitude was still very respectful.
This is actually a sign of weakness.
Obviously, the poor rose knew that it was no match for Lin Jiu, so it chose to show weakness.
In a sense, it can also be said to be temporary submission.
Lin Jiu was very satisfied with this attitude. Although most of the time he would force people around him to put themselves on the same level as him, it did not mean that he was not arrogant in his bones.
In fact, Lin Jiu would feel a little spiritual pleasure when others bowed down to him.
After all, he was someone who loved having everyone around him, so naturally, he loved the feeling of being held high. Furthermore, he wasn't worried about falling from grace.
Lin Jiu didn't say much to the Blue Rose waiter.
After making his request and receiving a positive response, he turned his focus back to the three special guests mentioned in the rules.
Given Clarint's temperament, he would have come looking for him immediately in the past, but this time he was unusually quiet, only giving him a warning when he entered the manor. Now that it was written into the rules, Lin Jiu realized that the three evil gods were currently in a passive state, unable to actively reveal themselves.
This made Lin Jiu a little curious, and he became more and more certain about what had happened in the Yinshan Village copy.
Something is changing in this game.
Lin Jiu couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, he had a vague feeling that he was about to touch upon some truth.
The hint still couldn't answer the question that seemed to touch the core. Lin Jiu didn't have too much persistence, but just wanted to get some more information from the evil god.
But Lin Jiu was not in a hurry to find them.
It is very likely on the third floor, but Lin Jiu has not found the entrance to the third floor yet.
Lin Jiu was planning to find a dark corner to hide, but unexpectedly, as he stepped onto the stairs, he saw a figure coming out from the corner.
The other party seemed to be planning to go to the other side, and was so cautious that Lin Jiu didn't even hear the footsteps.
The figure naturally noticed Lin Jiu who was in the bright light. He paused, and after confirming that it was not a "ghost", he relaxed a little, but the eyes behind the lenses still showed a hint of vigilance.
I don’t know if it was because of what happened in the restaurant before, or if he was simply wary.
He looked like a scholar, with a strong scholarly air and wearing glasses. Perhaps he was a strange person who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. Of all the strange people, this was the only one who didn't show even a trace of malice towards Lin Jiu, only wariness.
From this perspective, he should be a weirdo who doesn't like to interact with people.
Lin Jiu did not move, and the latter did not know why he suddenly stood there motionless.
It was as if one of them was a "ghost" rather than a "hider" in the same camp.
Lin Jiu's eyes became a little strange. The latter pushed his glasses, nodded at him, and then his whole body tensed up slightly. He walked away quickly with caution.
Lin Jiu didn't withdraw his gaze until the other party's breath disappeared from his observation range.
It's a bit strange and weird.
Lin Jiu evaluated this in his mind and soon found a very suitable blind spot.
Almost the next second after Lin Jiu hid his figure in the darkness, Brett, the tall and thin "ghost", ran to the stairs panting from one direction.
He looked around, his brow furrowed.
It looked like a chase had just taken place, but he had lost it.
Lin Jiu hid in the dark, actively reducing his presence to ensure that he would not be discovered, then he turned his gaze back and continued to observe.
Brett took a while to calm his breathing. He stood at the stairs without moving, but looked around from time to time, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, Lin Jiu heard a sound coming from downstairs.
It's Essen.
Lin Jiu's eyes moved.
It seems that "ghosts" can communicate with each other?
For more than half an hour, both Essen and Brett saw the "Hider", but neither of them succeeded in eliminating it.
Eisen, who was obviously a bit irritable, started cursing and said that this ghost mechanism was not friendly enough to "ghosts". Brett didn't say anything, but it seemed that he agreed with Eisen's statement.
After all, unlike Essen, he still had to search room by room.
However, it is obvious that both "ghosts" are a little bit drunk now.
Lin Jiu watched the two "ghosts" change their respective search areas, and only prepared to walk out of the darkness after they separated for a while.
At this moment, the cold voice of the game system sounded.
Lin Jiu paused slightly, a little surprised.
A player was eliminated?
Lin Jiu thought about it and thought that it might be some unlucky new player who encountered a strange phenomenon in the dungeon but failed to respond correctly.
However, the answer given by the prompt made Lin Jiu stunned, and even his pupils shrank.
[No, it was the player who killed the player.]
Lin Jiu:?
When Lin Jiu saw this sentence in the prompt box, he thought he had seen it wrong for a moment.
Who killed whom?
[Some players also asked the same question as you, Master. I didn't expect you to take action so soon~]
The prompt had a feeling of gloating, and Lin Jiu's attention was focused on the fact that the player killed the other player.
I never expected that what Eugene worried about would actually happen.
And it's not just a simple conflict.
Lin Jiu leaned against the wall, lost in thought.
His first thought after realizing what was happening was displeasure.
Are you kidding? He hasn't killed a player yet!
The second thought was: Who is so bold?
Although this is a possibility, anyone with a common sense will consider the reality.
Due to various issues at the national level, even if there have been conflicts between players, they have only been verbal exchanges and no physical action has ever occurred, let alone taking lives.
Every player will be told privately that unless there is a real situation where players have to be hostile to each other, they are not allowed to fight.
Yes, don’t use your hands.
Lin Jiu is a special case. Xia Minghai's original words to him have always been, "If you want to do something, just do it. Anyway, this side will definitely support you without a brain."
Players from big countries are similar to Lin Jiu and don’t have to worry too much about practical issues, but it’s different for small and medium-sized countries.
Players who enter the game of Rule Tales represent their respective countries. Although it is a brand new system that was born not long ago, its weight cannot be ignored.
After all, if players die, the country will suffer a serious blow.
Under this premise, if a player kills another player, the state will definitely hold them accountable.
If the game is arranged by the game developer and players are forced into a life-or-death situation, then there is nothing that can be done if players kill each other.
You can't just say something stupid like, "Please, die for my country," to someone, right?
So no one broke the "no hands allowed" restriction.
Even if it was Lin Jiu, he would have resisted the urge to attack him no matter how much he wanted to. ——In fact, Lin Jiu didn't have a strong desire to attack the players. After all, everyone was pretty nice to him. Even if they were afraid of him, they wouldn't take the initiative to get close to him and provoke him.
But the current situation is not yet to the point where players have to take action.
Lin Jiu thought that it must be very noisy outside now.
