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

When Chu Xiu arrived, he found her sitting on a park bench, feeding stray cats with a few sausages in her hand. She was wearing a long skirt in a gentle color today, and her smile was gentle and harmless.

"You're here?" Lin Chu finished feeding the last bit of food and patted the seat next to him. "Sit down, let's chat."

At such a close distance, Chu Xiu really couldn't take action unless the other party showed any hostility.

He walked over and sat down on the other side of the bench. He could smell the fragrance coming from the other person.

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

"Have you received any new missions recently?" Lin Chu's tone sounded like he was reminiscing with an old friend.

Chu Xiu nodded: "It's a narrow escape from death."

Lin Chu looked at the stray cat running away: "I haven't answered it yet, I don't know what the next time will be."

"Just tell me what you want to say."

Lin Chu paused: "Have you been following me again recently?"

Chu Xiu shook his head: "After I told An Xingyu's mother about you, I stopped following you."

"Is that so?" Lin Chu lowered his head. "Then I recently felt someone following me. Wasn't it you?"

"no."

Lin Chu turned her head and looked at the other person carefully. Chu Xiu let her eyes scan him calmly.

"Okay, since it's not you, I won't settle the score with you. Let's talk about something else." Lin Chu took out a dagger from his sleeve and put it back. "Can you tell me some mission knowledge?"

“Aren’t they all on the website?”

"I want to know something different. As someone who has completed at least fifteen missions, you should know some inside information, right?"

"What do you think I know?"

"For example, the reasons for the changes in the world, and the similarities and differences between the two worlds." Lin Chu smiled, revealing a small dimple. "Otherwise, what is the reason for you to enter unnecessary missions again and again? Of course you have a purpose, and your purpose must be not simple."

Chu Xiu thought for a while, and was just thinking of an excuse to get away with it, when he saw the other party stand up, turn around, and hold a gun in his hand.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at his throat.

"You!" Chu Xiu was about to resist, but he found himself weak all over and unable to move.

Considering the fragrance coming from the other person, how could Chu Xiu not know why

Lin Chu said: "The one who followed me was An Xingyu's father. Coincidentally, I got the gun from him." As for how she got it, Chu Xiu must have known her method by now.

"Now, tell me what you know. Otherwise..." The muzzle of the gun moved down, "I won't kill you, but I'm not sure if I'll accidentally cripple you. A broken arm or a broken leg would have a big impact on the mission, right?"

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

Chu Xiu barely gathered his strength and reached back, but was caught. He said calmly: "Are you sure you really want to do this?"

"Otherwise, I'm just a lunatic." Lin Chu smiled and tapped the muzzle of the gun towards the other person's face, "Weren't you the one who provoked me first?"

"Don't tell me so many consequences. I don't want to hear them. I just want to know what results you have achieved and what are the unspoken rules in the mission?" Lin Chu believed that the other party must know something, otherwise, how could he survive until now again and again

She urgently needed to enter the mission world again, but the mission that others were avoiding showed no sign of coming. And according to her investigation, Chu Xiu entered the mission world so often that it was a bit abnormal.

Chu Xiu had no way to deal with a lunatic who was both rational and paranoid. He hated himself for not taking action the first time they met, but was deceived by her kind appearance, which resulted in him being unable to fight back now.

Thinking about it more carefully, was it intentional for her to make the other party feel controlled when they first met

"What do you want to know?" Chu Xiu tried to move away from her and regain his strength. But Lin Chu came closer, the perfume on her body became stronger, and she said, "Why were you able to enter the mission so many times?"

Chu Xiu paused and said: "Just find a team of taskers and go with them." However, not many people were willing to do this, and no one wanted to lose their lives, so few people knew about it.

"What is the purpose of your frequent missions?"

“…want to get out of the mission.”

The scent of Lin Chu not only made people feel weak, but also seemed to make people "open their hearts". Chu Xiu tried to hide it at first, but then he thought, why can't he make a teammate like this? He didn't hide too much and answered whatever he was asked.

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

"What's the name of the NPC you're talking about?"

Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lu Yanli."

As soon as he said this, he met Lin Chu's surprised eyes.

"Lu Yanli? Do you know him?"

In another world, Lu Yanli was riding a car to another city.

He was being watched, and this time, he was being watched for an exceptionally long time. Wherever he went, he could feel the supernatural phenomena clearly moving towards him.

Here’s the trouble…

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

But he couldn't do anything anymore. Ordinary people couldn't kill weird things, and the weird phenomena in the real world he lived in were not subject to any rules at all.

The train TV was broadcasting news about the excavation of an ancient tomb. At that time, Lu Yanli was being forced by Yi Yun to coax her "daughter" to sleep, so he missed the extremely familiar figure that flashed across the screen.

When the figure passed by, he glanced at Lu Yanli for a second, and then disappeared. When Lu Yanli looked up, the pale-faced host reappeared on the screen.

Ancient tomb... Ancient tomb... It seemed that all "people"' attention was focused on the ancient tomb these days, and Lu Yanli was no exception. While being harassed on the train, he was working hard to translate the texts.

Perhaps because he had heard it once before, he finally had an impression of the words. However, there were still some characters that he was not familiar with and he didn't know what their pronunciation and meaning were, so he could only leave them blank for now.

What surprised him was that no one knew when the king and his god appeared, and the dynasty was unknown. The style of their clothing and utensils were different from any other country or region in the world.

However, he did not have the tools of a professional archaeological team, and could not tell the age based on the degree of decay. He could only barely judge that this country... should be at least three hundred years old.

Just as I was thinking about it, the train suddenly braked and fell into darkness.

"Ah—" the passengers screamed.

If you listen carefully, you can easily hear the excitement and malice contained in the screams, as well as some... sounds that simply cannot be made by a human.

Lu Yanli saw the face of the girl in front of him clearly. She was wearing a beautiful red dress and was looking at him with her head tilted.

And the reason why he could see clearly was that Lu Yanli stretched out his hand, and there was a little green light on his fingertips.

That was the impact of the mission, and it had not been completely eliminated. As Lu Yanli watched, he became increasingly worried, and a mushroom once again emerged from his bones.

It's just like a firefly.

An absurd idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Why did it stop so suddenly?" More and more passengers began to complain. The air was filled with the strong smell of blood and the sound of a beast chewing. But no matter how much the passengers complained, the train remained motionless.

It was not until a long, long time had passed, when the programs on TV started to switch to the next one, that the lights in the train came on brightly.

Looking over there again, where were the hustle and bustle of passengers? Lu Yanli was the only one in the entire train, sitting on the bloodstained seat.

The car windows were covered with bloody handprints.

The carriage door opened and a steward walked in pushing a dining cart.

There was a plate on the dining car, and on the plate was a head that looked exactly like his. But the head of the flight attendant had long disappeared!

As the dining cart moved forward, the head's eyes gradually met Lu Yanli's, and his expression gradually became more ferocious.

Lu Yanli didn't look at it and let it be taken away by the dining car.

He suddenly felt something was wrong.

Since “my own” head was placed on the dining car, where did the flight attendant’s head go

"Hurry up!" Lu Yanli called out to the flight attendant, and then, everyone snatched away his dining cart.

The moment he took over, the attendant's clothes fell off and quickly fell to the ground. He then lifted the cloth covering the dining car... As expected, there was a bloody body inside. His head was missing, and there was only a headless body curled up in the car.

The human head on the plate, which looked exactly like his, slowly calmed down.

It is not difficult to imagine that if the flight attendant was allowed to push the dining cart out, his head... would actually be taken away.

This is where... he lives.

Soon, we arrived at the station and the door opened. Outside the carriage, it was pitch black.

After Lu Yanli got off the train, he turned back inadvertently and found that all the passengers who had disappeared in the train had returned. They sat in their seats, staring at Lu Yanli quietly with their eyes.

He didn't know how long this targeted life would last, nor when the next tasker would arrive. Lu Yanli was even looking forward to it.

Once he had seen what the normal world was like, he became extremely annoyed by such weirdness.

"Why are there so many people on this mission?"

After posting the information on the website, the workers organized an offline gathering. As soon as they arrived, they were shocked.

There were actually more than thirty people who came.

"Are you all on the same mission? Going to the Psychic Town?"

"Yes, mine too."

"We still have plenty of time. We won't leave until half a month later. We can get to know each other better and have some discussions."

"The mission is very strange. Everyone, check it out. The one I received is that we need to find and kill a person named Lu Yanli. There is no time limit."

"Mine too."

"By the way, the person I killed gave me some information. What about the person I found? Does anyone have any clues?"

"No, the mission only said to find a person who disappeared in the psychic town. It didn't say who it was, and didn't provide any information."

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

After she learned from Chu Xiu how to join the mission, she couldn't wait to come to the scene according to the contact information given on the website. At this moment, she was shocked when she heard the content of everyone's mission.

Why kill him
