Chapter 88

The place Lin Chu arranged to meet was a park. Because it was located in a remote area and the winter climate was damp and cold, there were very few people, making it suitable for a secret meeting.

When Chu Xiu arrived, he found her sitting on a park bench, feeding stray cats with a few ham sausages in her hand. Today, she was specially wearing a long dress in a gentle color, with a gentle and harmless smile.

At such a close distance, and with the other party not showing any hostility, it was really difficult for Chu Xiu to act.

He always felt something was off, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

Chu Xiu nodded: “A near-death experience.”

Lin Chu watched the stray cat run away: “I haven’t taken one yet, I don’t know what the next one will be.”

“Just say what you want to say directly.”

“It wasn’t.”

Lin Chu turned her head and carefully sized him up. Chu Xiu let her gaze sweep over him, appearing completely at ease.

“Isn’t it all on the website?”

“What kind of inside information do you think I know?”

And the muzzle was pointed directly at his throat.

“You!” Chu Xiu wanted to resist, but found that his whole body was weak and difficult to move.

Thinking of the fragrance coming from her, how could Chu Xiu not know why?

Lin Chu said: “The one following me was An Xingyu’s father. Coincidentally, this gun was taken from him.” As for how she took it, Chu Xiu should know her methods by now.

She held the gun in one hand, pointing it at Chu Xiu, and with the other hand, she took out another gun from behind his waist, weighed it in her hand, and smiled coldly.

Chu Xiu, barely gathering strength to reach behind him, was caught, and calmly said: “Are you sure you really want to do this?”

She urgently needed to enter the mission world again, but there was no sign of the missions that others were avoiding. And according to her investigation, Chu Xiu entered the mission world with an abnormally high frequency.

Thinking about it carefully, was her being controlled by others the first time they met also deliberate?

Chu Xiu paused: “Find a team of mission takers, and go with them, that’s all.” It’s just that not many people are willing to do this, no one wants to risk their lives, so not many people know.

“What’s your purpose for doing missions so frequently?”

“…Want to get rid of the missions.”

However, when Chu Xiu said that he believed in a cult because of an NPC, Lin Chu frowned, feeling that the person he described sounded a bit familiar.

Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment, but still said: “Lu Yanli.”

As soon as he said it, he met Lin Chu’s surprised eyes.

“Lu Yanli? You know him?”

*

In another world, Lu Yanli was about to take a bus to another city.

This was the trouble…

Facing Yi Jun and Jing Tao, who were no longer like normal people, Lu Yanli only felt annoyed.

But he couldn’t act again. Ordinary people couldn’t kill the weird, and the weird phenomena in his real world were not bound by any rules.

The news was playing on the train television, still talking about the excavation of the ancient tomb. At that time, Lu Yanli was being forced by Yi Jun to coax her “daughter” to sleep, so he missed a fleetingly familiar figure on the screen.

When that figure passed by, it glanced at Lu Yanli, then disappeared. When Lu Yanli looked up, the pale-faced host reappeared on the screen.

Ancient tomb… ancient tomb… it seemed that all “people’s” attention these days was focused on the ancient tomb, Lu Yanli was no exception. While being harassed on the train, he was painstakingly translating those texts.

Perhaps because he had heard it once, he finally had an impression of those texts, but he was still unfamiliar with some characters, and didn’t know their pronunciation or meaning, so he could only leave them blank for now.

What made him strange was when that King and his God appeared. The dynasty was unknown, and the style of clothing and instruments was different from any country or region in the world.

And he didn’t have the tools of a professional archaeological team, so he couldn’t determine the age based on the degree of decay. He could only barely judge that this country… should be at least three hundred years old.

As he was thinking, the train suddenly braked sharply and plunged into darkness.

“Ah–” The passengers screamed.

Listening carefully, it was not difficult to hear the excitement and malice in the screams, and some… were not sounds that humans could make at all.

Lu Yanli saw the face of the girl in front of him clearly. She was wearing a beautiful red dress and tilting her head to look at him.

And the reason he could see clearly – Lu Yanli stretched out his hand, his fingertips glowing with a little bit of green light.

That was the influence of the mission, which had not completely disappeared. Looking at it, Lu Yanli was always worried that a mushroom would drill out of his bones again.

It was like a firefly.

A ridiculous thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Until a long time had passed, and the programs on the television began to switch to the next one, the lights in the train suddenly came on.

Looking again, where were the bustling passengers? Only Lu Yanli was in the entire carriage, sitting on a blood-stained seat.

The train windows were covered with bloody handprints.

The car door opened, and a train attendant walked in pushing a dining car.

On the dining car was a plate, and on the plate was a head that looked exactly like him. And the train attendant’s head had disappeared without a trace!

The head on the plate moved forward with the dining car, its gaze slowly meeting Lu Yanli’s, and its expression gradually becoming ferocious.

Lu Yanli didn’t look at it, letting it be taken away by the dining car.

He suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Since the dining car was carrying “his” head, then where did the train attendant’s head go?

“Wait!” Lu Yanli stopped the train attendant, and then snatched his dining car.

And the head on the plate that looked exactly like his face slowly returned to calm.

It was not difficult to imagine that if he had allowed the train attendant to push the dining car out, his head… would have really been taken away.

This was… where he lived.

Soon, the station arrived, and the car doors opened. Outside the car, it was pitch black.

After Lu Yanli got off the bus, he looked back inadvertently. In the train, all the missing passengers came back, they were sitting in their seats, watching Lu Yanli quietly with pairs of eyes.

He didn’t know how long this targeted day would continue, and he didn’t know when the next task taker would arrive. Lu Yanli was even looking forward to it.

Once he had seen what a normal world was like, he was extremely disgusted with such weirdness.

“Why are there so many people in this mission?”

There were actually thirty or so people.

“Yes, mine too.”

“There’s still plenty of time, we don’t leave until half a month later. Everyone can get to know each other and discuss it.”

“The mission is strange, everyone check it out. Mine is that we need to find a person and kill someone named Lu Yanli. There is no time limit.”

“Mine too.”

“By the way, information about the person to be killed was also given, but what about the person we need to find? Does anyone have a clue?”

“No, the mission only says to find a missing person in the Spirit Medium Town. It doesn’t say who, and doesn’t provide information.”

A group of people gathered together to discuss and brainstorm, among them sat Lin Chu.

Why kill him?
