Chapter 204: Chapter 115: Bai Ci Holmes Lin_2

The girl was very angry.

Because she had diarrhea, she didn’t immediately open the door to get the takeout. As a result, she came out after wiping her butt,

and it was gone?

"I left it there."

The delivery guy also yelled back, anxious, as he still had other deliveries to make, and any delay meant he couldn’t complete them.

"I don’t care, you owe me compensation, or I’ll complain about you!"

The girl was fierce.

"Why should I compensate you? Maybe you already took it and want to scam me for another one!"

The delivery guy was irked: "Check the community’s surveillance!"

"What damn surveillance does this crappy community have?"

The girl was so angry she wanted to hit someone, vowing to herself that as soon as she got a pay raise, she would be the first to move out of this shabby neighborhood.

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao exchanged glances.

The takeout that the Border Collie had grabbed was indeed stolen.

"Stop arguing, your takeout was stolen by a dog!"

Xia Hongyao tried to mediate.

"Look, someone saw it!"

The delivery guy was delighted.

The girl paused, then questioned, "Do you have evidence?"

"I don’t, but I saw it."

Xia Hongyao tried to convince the girl, but Lin Baici stopped her.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Baici pulled Xia Hongyao away.

"Hey, don’t go, be a witness for me, damn it, don’t leave!"

The delivery guy shouted, trying to stop Xia Hongyao, but the girl grabbed him.

The two started to scuffle.

In the car, Xia Hongyao was somewhat unhappy: "Do I look like a liar?"

"That girl knows you’re right, but if she acknowledges it, she would have to bear the loss herself. Now, by insisting that the delivery person didn’t deliver, it becomes the delivery person’s responsibility."

Lin Baici knew what the girl was thinking; even if she couldn’t get full compensation, she intended to get some of it back to lessen her loss.

"Alright, it’s just a minor interruption. Let’s go to the school!"

Lin Baici already had a plan, but he still took out the Divine Turtle Shell.

He put his hands together with the shiny turtle shell between them, silently incanting in his mind.

"Where is the Taboo thing that creates mad dogs? Please guide me to it!"

After chanting three times, Lin Baici tossed the turtle shell into the air.

The turtle shell flew up vertically and before hitting the car roof, it came down again, landing on Lin Baici’s thigh.

Xia Hongyao looked over.

A prolonged voice echoed inside the car.

"Kneel with five body parts touching the ground, offering three sacrifices, reverence not the heavens but the spirits and ghosts!"

"Divination with the Turtle Shell, consulting the spirits for insight, today brings great misfortune."

"Avoid going out! Avoid dogs! There will be bloodshed!"

The divination was over, and Lin Baici immediately felt a chill that made him shiver involuntarily.

It was like walking through a graveyard at night, chilled by the wind.

Lin Baici knew it was not his imagination, but rather the curse of the Divine Turtle Shell taking effect, beginning to corrode him.

If it had been someone with a weaker constitution, they would at least be down with a cold for a few days.

"Are you ever accurate?"

Xia Hongyao disliked the divination result.

"Your luck is not good these days, better to go home, take a bath, get some rest. Insisting on being outside, misfortune is more likely than luck!"

’It’ explained.

Ah!

I haven’t divined in so many days, it’s driving me mad.

"From their expressions, most of these people exhibit impulsive, depressive tendencies. Why don’t I set up an altar and divine for them?"

’It’ suggested.

Lin Baici threw the turtle shell into the Black Tripod Bowl, joking, if he allowed it to perform divination, would there be any survivors on this street?

Xia Hongyao didn’t believe these things, and Lin Baici wasn’t too concerned either. They reached the office building, parked the car, and went to find the leader of the College of Life Sciences.

"I’ve asked them before, no luck."

Half of those bitten or killed by the rabid dog were students from Haijing Polytechnic’s College of Life Sciences. The first thing Xia Hongyao did when he arrived was to inquire with these department leaders.

"Ask again!"

Lin Baici wanted to hear it for himself.

The dean of the college didn’t have a pleasant face to see Xia Hongyao and didn’t even offer a drink.

"Haven’t I already said it? What more do you want to ask?"

The dean complained.

"My colleague has a few more questions, please answer them thoroughly. If we can’t resolve this, we’ll have to take you to the station for further investigation!"

Xia Hongyao showed his ID, speaking sternly, which was quite intimidating.

But he was just too bulky, lacking a sleek presence.

Lin Baici inquired about the condition of the victims, but the dean simply didn’t know and had to call a few counselors to clarify.

After two hours of hassle, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao bid farewell and left.

"This is no different from what I found out before."

Xia Hongyao sighed, feeling like he’d wasted his time.

"Let’s go to the dormitory building, you handle the girls, I’ll take the guys. Ask them if there’s been any gossip or rumors in the department lately. Got a recorder? Record everything!"

Lin Baici delegated the tasks.

The male students of the College of Life Sciences lived in Building 9. Lin Baici made calls to Qian Jiahui and Fang Mingyuan to ask if they knew anyone.

Fang Mingyuan mentioned a new basketball buddy, a senior from the department.

Lin Baici bought a box of drinks and a bunch of snacks, intending to seek basketball advice as a pretext to visit this senior’s dorm.

He wasn’t in, but no matter, Lin Baici chatted with others.

With drinks and snacks as icebreakers, and tossing in some discussions on games and basketball, the atmosphere quickly warmed up.

After a while, Lin Baici felt the timing was right and began subtly shifting the conversation: "Has anything major happened in your department lately? Tell me about it so I can brag to my roommates when I go back!"
