"Is this an illusion?"
Jiang Xin was shocked: "So realistic!"
If Lin Baici had launched a sneak attack just now, Jiang Xin knew he definitely wouldn’t have been killed, but he would have suffered a great loss.
Truly a divine skill!
A beauty that nourishes things silently!
"I guess you don’t want to hear all those ssy rules and pollution, so I’ll get straight to the point!"
Lin Baici started from the auction, where Aunt God introduced the Human-head deity on stage, then focused on the Bankrupt City, as it involved Raphael and Kreiser, the Sea Emperor.
Plus so many onlookers, it couldn’t be hidden,
When Jiang Xin heard that Lin Baici had killed Raphael, he gasped and was a bit unable to sit still.
"If I rember correctly, you just killed the son of a slave owner before, right?"
Does it have to be so ruthless?
Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.
"The younger generation is truly fearso!"
Jiang Xin sighed, unconsciously, his attitude towards Lin Baici improved a bit, because he realized this was a tough guy.
As a leader, he feared those with low emotional intelligence, who embarrass people easily but are extrely capable, making it impossible to trouble their subordinates.
Lin Baici saw Xia Hongyao was eager, scratching her ears, clearly wanting to brag, so he smiled: "Hongyao has been with all along, so whatever I went through, she didn’t miss out, so I’ll have a sip of tea and let her tell it!"
"Okay!"
Jiang Xin knew Xia Hongyao was very strong, but it seed all her nutrition went to her chest, and her brain wasn’t good enough, so listening to her would more easily reveal ’unspeakable’ secrets.
In Jiang Xin’s opinion, Lin Baici would definitely hide so important information about killing the God.
As for the spoils, there’s no need to ntion, if it were him, he would definitely keep one or two items as trump cards!
Xia Hongyao spoke rapidly, full of emotion, her words colorful, eager to finish recounting the experience in the divine ruins in one go.
Jiang Xin listened silently, only asking his female secretary to refill the water, without speaking.
When the sun finally rose, casting dawn over the land, he finally finished listening.
Xia Hongyao’s speaking skills were quite good, not to ntion the final divine pollution, even the part about Oliver’s manor was thrilling, fascinating.
In fact, it was indeed so, with bodies piling up proving it.
"So, you’re saying you killed the God, took the pocket watch, and then ca out?"
Jiang Xin wanted to confirm.
"Hmm!"
Xia Hongyao nodded.
"..."
Jiang Xin picked up his teacup, took a sip: "The pocket watch..."
Before Jiang Xin could request it, Lin Baici had already handed the item over.
Jiang Xin solemnly received it, observed it for a mont, then returned it to Lin Baici.
"Baici, this pocket watch, as a relic of God, is invaluable, but now to purify the divine ruins, we need it to guide the way, you see..."
Jiang Xin sighed: "With this divine ruins erupting in Haijing City District, the later it’s purified, the greater the damage, maybe even causing a disturbance, leading to the deaths of many innocent citizens."
Since this pocket watch could bring Lin Baici and them out, it could bring others out; knowing this auction involved quite a few important people, rescuing them could earn many favors.
Moreover, it might directly lead to God, making it a critical tool.
But the problem is, he couldn’t just open his mouth and ask Lin Baici for it, right?
Even if he tried to reason and persuade him with Haijing’s safety as ’coercion’, he might be refused, and sending Lin Baici back to the divine ruins wasn’t suitable either.
Also, he might not agree, after all, the divine ruins contained several Gods, it was too dangerous.
"Didn’t my sister enter the divine ruins? There shouldn’t be any need to worry!"
Xia Hongyao looked at Lin Baici, she actually wanted to go in again, but she wanted to hear Lin Baici’s opinion.
"What’s wrong with having an extra insurance?"
Jiang Xin looked at Lin Baici, this kid didn’t seem like soone easily fooled by righteousness!
What a hassle!
"We’ll rest for a day, and you can take this ti to make full preparations, then we’ll enter the divine ruins again!"
Lin Baici made a decision.
Haijing has a population of twenty million, it’s the most prosperous city in the Nine States, if this divine ruins spreads, it would cause a severe blow to Nine States’ economy.
Lin Baici wanted to talk to the Aunt God again.
Could she avoid affecting ordinary people?
"Alright!"
Jiang Xin was very satisfied.
He thought Lin Baici would delay for three or four days: "Then you all hurry and rest, I’ll go call people to prepare personnel and materials right now!"
After Jiang Xin left, Xia Hongyao couldn’t hold back any longer, cheering: "Oh yeah, we can enter the divine ruins again!"
"Aren’t you afraid of dying in there?"
Lin Baici felt helpless.
"Isn’t it better than dying of old age in a nursing ho?"
Xia Hongyao was easygoing: "If a monotonous life continues for decades, I’d rather go crazy for a few years, at least in my youth, I did what I love most!"
"Dying for my ideals, I find it quite good!"
Xia Hongyao finished speaking and then chuckled, nudging Lin Baici with her shoulder: "Besides, with you here, how could we easily die?"
"I might not be able to purify all the pollution!"
Lin Baici stood up, planning to call his mom and then go back to school for a look.
If I enter God’s ruins again this ti, what if things go wrong?
"No worries, you still have your looks!"
Xia Hongyao glanced left and right, observing Lin Baici: "The female God should like your type, right? Just convince her to be lenient when you speak."
"Convince your ghost!"
Lin Baici raised his hand and tapped the forehead of the high ponytail.
Xia Hongyao also had so personal matters to attend to, and so the two temporarily parted ways.
After leaving the sanatorium, Lin Baici took out a backup phone and swapped in his SIM card!
As soon as it powered up, WeChat and text ssage notifications started ringing frequently.
Lin Baici glanced over them,
The most ssages and missed calls were from the Tea Girl, followed by the senior Mi Qin.
Lin Baici casually skimd the content. Mi Qin was upset about Lin Baici not responding and disappearing, and then there was his mom’s calls and greetings.
There were quite a few ssages from his childhood friend Li Wei as well, but they were all concentrated last week.
Wang Fang also ssaged, asking when Lin Baici would return ho so she could prepare dinner in advance.
Lin Baici didn’t bother with anyone else, carefully considering his words before calling his mom.
...
Xia Hongyao lived alone, and now her sister was also in God’s ruins, leaving her nowhere to go, so she simply decided to visit Nangong Shu.
On the way, she eagerly opened The Soul of Dragon WeChat group.
Let see what everyone’s been chatting about these days?
Surely it’s about the auction at Divine Ruins?
Xia Hongyao’s fingers glided across the screen.
As expected.
A whopping 999 ssages, all about that. So many that her fingers got tired from scrolling.
Hmph!
Not reading, ti to join in!
This girl is about to start boasting!
Great Detective Xia: Oh my, the morning sunshine is so nice!
Edit, send!
Xia Hongyao stared at the screen.
I bet it’ll be no more than seven seconds before soone replies.
One!
Two!
Three!
The first ssage popped up.
Feast Bro: What’s going on? Has Hongyao’s account been hacked?
Feast Bro: @Everyone!
His @ startled half the group.
Hotpot Fairy: A God Hunter getting hacked? Does the thief have a long life wish?
Feast Bro: Then how do you explain this ssage?
Feast Bro: Wait, does it an the auction at Divine Ruins was purified? I’ll go ask!
Condor Pri Minister: No need, I just asked, it hasn’t been purified, but Hongyao’s out!
Feast Bro: ???
Hotpot Fairy: ???
Big Snake Princess: ???
...
A whole string of question marks, forming a team.
Condor Pri Minister: @Great Detective Xia, Hongyao, stop playing around and quickly report yourself safe!
"Haha, surprised, aren’t you?"
Xia Hongyao gleefully edited a ssage.
Great Detective Xia: Haven’t seen you in days, don’t you uncles and aunties miss ?
Big Snake Princess: Who are you calling auntie? Call sister!
Big Snake Princess: Introduce Lin 18 to now, and I’ll forgive your rudeness, even let you call auntie!
Big Snake Princess: Lin 18 should have co out too, right?
Feast Bro: Hongyao is joking around, indicating that Lin Longyi not only didn’t fail, but is alive and well.
Half Victory: @Great Detective Xia, can you stop keeping us in suspense? Start bragging already!
Xia Hongyao’s habit of showing off was well-known to everyone.
