Deities Are All Just My Food

Chapter 203: Chapter 115 Bai Ci•Holmes•Lin_1

The midday sun, still bearing the ferocity of the autumn tiger, showered the long street.

On Fu An Road, a noodle shop.

"Do you have a specific target, or are you just wandering randomly this afternoon?"

Lin Baici picked up a chopstickful of smashed cucumbers, a bit too vinegary for his taste.

Though he had over ten million yuan in his bank account, he didn’t feel the need to dine on fish and meat every meal or frequent upscale restaurants; casual street-side eateries like this were quite alright.

"Those mad dogs seem to mostly appear around Haijing Polytechnic, and nearly all the victims are students from your school, so I think the Taboo things might be in some community around here!"

Xia Hongyao analyzed.

"..."

Lin Baici didn’t know what to say. Even if they narrowed it down to one community, it was still like looking for a needle in the ocean, right?

"Can you give me all the information on those people attacked by the mad dogs?"

Lin Baici decided to take matters into his own hands.

He wasn’t an employee of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau yet, and wasn’t sure if he was allowed to access this information, but High Ponytail seemed to have already treated him as one of her own.

"Here, take a look for yourself!"

After logging into the security bureau’s internal website on her phone, Xia Hongyao handed it to Lin Baici.

Lin Baici was not shy, taking the phone and browsing through it quickly.

"Did you find anything?"

Xia Hongyao was eager, as Lin Baici had shown exceptional intelligence on the train and at the ruins of Palm Harbor.

"Sister, I’ve only just started looking!"

Lin Baici smiled wryly: "You eat first, then lean back and take a nap. Look at those dark circles under your eyes!"

"I live off my intelligence!"

Xia Hongyao took a sip of her soup.

Most women care about their skin, hoarding makeup and refusing to leave the house without it, as if they would die without their cosmetics.

But Xia Hongyao was an exception. She always appeared bare-faced and never cared much for her attire; whenever Lin Baici saw her, she was always in sportswear.

Lin Baici curled his lips. You’re only a D on the intelligence scale and you say you live off your intelligence?

However, after a glance at High Ponytail’s Bear Greatness, Baici suddenly felt it didn’t matter if she had dark circles under her eyes or even a haggard face.

Because Greatness is the truth.

Men are destined to bow before it.

Of course, that excludes the heretics who prefer flat-chested girls.

Lin Baici read ten lines at a glance, fast. Too bad his talent was Guo Er Cheng Song, not a photographic memory, otherwise he’d be even more efficient.

Half an hour later.

"Boss, how much?"

Lin Baici called out.

"Sixty-five yuan!"

Lin Baici scanned the QR code on the wall.

Two bowls of spicy oil noodles, a plate of mixed vegetables, some smoked meat, and two sodas—a real bargain.

"Little Linzi, what do you think?"

Xia Hongyao stood on the street, stretching languidly.

Many passing men immediately glanced over.

The dappled shadows of the plane trees fell on her, as if draping a veil of gossamer across the peaks of the Himalayas.

Srisss!

Xia Hongyao tugged the zipper of her sports jacket all the way up.

Lin Baici immediately noticed many regretful glances.

"Let’s take a turn around Boxue Community first!"

Gu Qingxiang lived there, so Baici planned to ensure the safety of the community first.

"Okay."

Xia Hongyao had driven a BMW 3 Series today, parked by the roadside. She walked over and saw a parking violation ticket stuck to the glass by a traffic policeman.

Nonchalantly, she tore it off, crumpled it into a ball, and tossed it into a trash bin three meters away.

"..."

Lin Baici was surprised. Could you really do that?

"Get in the car!"

Xia Hongyao, seeing Lin Baici’s expression, shrugged. "On official business, it doesn’t matter if I park illegally or run a red light, but usually, I still follow the rules."

"Of course, even if you wanted to pay the fine, you wouldn’t have the chance. The bureau takes care of it."

She waited for Lin Baici to get in and buckle up before they set off.

Great, he’d found another reason to join the Security Bureau.

Boxue Community comprised seven-story residential buildings that were quite old; the peeling paint and fallen wall textures showed signs of decay.

Since most Boxue residents were tenants, and many of them were college students, hardly anyone cooked, and food deliveries were common at this hour, with numerous delivery workers coming and going.

The community wasn’t big, only featuring twelve buildings.

"Look quick!"

Xia Hongyao suddenly tugged at Lin Baici.

Lin Baici looked over and wow, a dirty border collie ran fast out of a corner with takeout in its mouth.

"Is it fetching takeout for its owner?"

Xia Hongyao found it quite amusing.

"I think it looks more like a stolen delivery!"

Lin Baici, seeing Xia Hongyao’s puzzled face, explained: "That dog’s too dirty, doesn’t look like a pet."

"Its owner might not be a clean freak!"

Xia Hongyao differed in opinion: "There are many who don’t like to shower, and another possibility, its owner could be a homeless person!"

"Red Medicine, you’re impressive!"

Lin Baici gave her a thumbs-up.

He admitted there was a chance of that.

"Haha!"

Xia Hongyao placed her hands on her hips and jutted out her chest, beaming with pride.

She admired Lin Baici and acknowledged his strength, so being praised by a Dragon Level prospect made her happy.

After circling the area without finding anything, they were about to leave when they heard people arguing.

"You asked me to leave the delivery outside your door, and now that it’s gone, you blame me?"

A delivery guy in a yellow uniform was clearly upset.

"You never left it; I came out to grab it after using the bathroom, not even a minute later, and there was nothing there."
