Lin En has always been the one to hunt others, but this is the first time someone has hunted him.
What can be concluded now is that this "loyal reader" of mine is not a cleanup staff.
Because this person said in his letter that he had been investigating him for a long time, and Lin En would never miss out on key identity information in any face-to-face interview.
"Dong dong dong."
The knock on the door sounded again.
But before Linn could become alert, Reiner's voice came from outside the door.
"It's me."
Linn lowered his guard and stepped forward to open the door.
"I heard some noise from you, what happened?" Reiner hadn't rested yet, so when Linn didn't open the door for a long time and the waiter raised his voice and asked, his attention was also attracted.
"Look." Linn handed the letter to Reiner and then sat in the reception area.
"Hunting mystery novelists..." Reiner couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth after reading, "Is this something a normal person can come up with..."
"It doesn't matter if he is a normal person or not, he is here to kill me anyway." Lin En smiled and didn't take this matter too seriously.
If I were an ordinary person, I would be worthy of attention.
But as a [Transcendent], I have to fear the death threat from an ordinary person. If word spreads, I don’t know how many people of the same kind will laugh out loud.
Reiner frowned and sat across from Linn: "This man said he has been watching you for a while, so will he find out about Joseph City and know that we are the cleanup crew?"
"This person probably didn't follow us during that time." Lin En said. "I was very wary of everyone around me at that time. If there was such a big person, I wouldn't have missed it. And didn't I temporarily teleport back to Tswold City?
Are you there? Do you think I can still get rid of him if he keeps following me? "
"Is it possible they were also the cleanup crew?"
"The possibility is extremely low." Linn continued to analyze. "On the contrary, the more clean-up personnel there are, the more unable they are to hide their situation in front of me. Based on this information, I infer that this person started secretly after I teleported back to Tswold City.
Follow and monitor me.”
Reiner crossed his arms across his chest: "Then change the schedule and find a way to find this person out and deal with it tomorrow?"
Lin En shook his head: "There is no need to delay our business for such an inconspicuous person who only dares to hide in the shadows."
He has the ability to [perceive].
As long as someone who is hostile to you approaches, you will notice it immediately.
So there's no need to worry too much.
"But it is a hidden danger after all, especially since we know very little about this person. If we have to wait for him to come to deal with it, it will actually be a bit passive." Reiner is not afraid of danger to his life. "In addition, when the time comes to deal with the body, we have to deal with it.
It took a lot of thought.”
Lena was right.
First, people are in the dark after all. As long as they don’t show their heads, they won’t be able to feel completely at ease.
Secondly, this is the imperial capital after all. If the enemy comes and kills us, it will cause a big fuss and it will not end well.
"What I'm most worried about is whether this person will use some dishonest means to attack me, such as poisoning." Lin En gradually faced this uninvited guest.
"Let's get rid of him first. If that doesn't work, make him a trigger target for the next mission." Reiner provided an idea.
Lin En quickly refused: "No need. This person can trigger a secondary task at most. Losing one or two days for it will be a huge loss. If another task is in vain, then I will never accept it."
Lin En's next mission is for Level 4 difficulty with 2,000 points.
Now that his rhythm was disrupted by such a psychopath, it was enough to make him unhappy.
He would never allow such an ignorant person to cause greater losses to him.
Reiner couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this: "Then let's have something interesting."
"What?"
"You don't know anything about the other party, and neither do I. The only clues we have so far are this letter and the waiter's knowledge. Then it wouldn't be a bad idea to make some appetizers to practice your skills before starting the next mission."
Linn narrowed his eyes.
He instantly understood what Reiner meant: "A competition?"
"I think it's okay." Reiner has regarded the psychopath who regards Linn as his prey as a warm-up competition before he and Linn carry out the mission. "We will also compete to see who is more capable."
Lin En was really moved when she said that.
He and Reiner are now comrades-in-arms, and it is not convenient for them to fight each other if they want to discuss matters.
Psychopathy comes at just the right time.
The two of them can use this person to fully demonstrate their wisdom and extraordinary power.
The one who catches the murderer first may not necessarily be the smartest, nor may he have the strongest supernatural power, but his overall strength will undoubtedly be the first.
"I have no problem." Linn really wanted to take this opportunity to see Reiner's true ability.
Reiner also held the same idea: "We have the same information and we are on the same starting line, which is fair."
"Let's go back to play, and we can't delay too long. Just one day. If neither of us catch this person tomorrow, we will share information, eliminate the trouble as soon as possible, and get back on track." To be on the safe side, Lin En first
Limit the game time to twenty-four hours.
He really didn't want to make any mistakes and waste a lot of time on this kind of character.
Reiner understands the importance of time: "I don't have a problem with that."
"So, start now?" Lin En's sleepiness was swept away.
Not to mention, treating a psychopath who thinks he is a hunter as a prey makes everything more interesting.
"Okay, but we have to stagger the time a little and try not to bump into each other." Reiner glanced at his watch, "It's nine twenty-one now. I'll set off first, and you will set off again in five minutes. Wait for the game.
When it ends, these five minutes will be counted to ensure fairness."
Lin En immediately felt the desire to win from Reiner: "Go ahead."
"Goodbye." Reiner stood up and left the room.
Lin En chuckled lightly, put away the newly purchased expensive formal clothes, and changed back to the one he came in with.
He didn't want any accident to damage the newly bought clothes.
When dealing with a psychopath, it's best not to suffer any losses at all.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Linn walked out the door, passed the waiter, and walked straight out of the hotel.
He had already asked the waiter about everything he knew from the beginning, so there was no point in asking him now. He would only be widened by Reiner, who was racing against time.
His ideas are extremely clear.
The psychopath said in his letter that he was always monitoring him.
After sending the letter, it stands to reason that the person will stare at him even more closely, anticipating his next move after learning the situation.
That way it's simple.
There is a high probability that this person is nearby, a place beyond his [perception] range, but he can be monitored with the naked eye.
Where exactly?
As soon as Lin En stepped out of the hotel, relying on his combat experience, he felt two eyes staring at him.
"Ha..." He was startled for a moment, then laughed.
Two glances.
One must be the murderer who is monitoring him.
One must be Reiner who started five minutes ahead of him.
Reiner is not stupid. He knows that he is the target of the psychopath, so he deliberately throws himself out as a bait, trying to find out the target mission.
"Then let's see who can find the murderer the fastest." Lin En thought to himself.
