Chapter 453: Chapter 204: Rule Contamination Outbreak _2

"Others say she jumped from the building, but looking at her like this, it’s clear she’s using the threat of jumping to secure a recommendation spot or something!"

Cai Wenqi surveyed Li Mei, who didn’t have a scratch on her. It was apparent that the threat of jumping was just a bluff to seize the greatest benefits. If it were Cai Wenqi, she would definitely do the same.

More than half an hour had passed, some students had left, but many more were still engrossed in their studies.

"Your students at Haijing Normal University are very diligent, aren’t they!"

Xia Hongyao remarked.

At this point, there was no sign of these students heading back to their dormitories.

"Commander Xia, that’s survivor bias. The students who come to the library are the ones willing to study. If you look at the dorms, you’ll find many playing games and using their phones!"

Cai Wenqi was eager to show off, not missing any chance, solely to gain Lin Baici’s approval.

"Uh..."

Xia Hongyao’s expression froze, and she felt a bit of embarrassment creeping in, quickly glancing at Lin Baici.

He doesn’t think I lack even this basic deductive ability, does he?

Should I tell him that today my role is to be Watson, to be Yuanfang, not focused on solving cases but simply to assist?

Cai Wenqi, having noticed Xia Hongyao glancing at Lin Baici, immediately realized that Lin Baici was the decision-maker.

"But you’re right, Commander Xia; most of our students really love to learn, especially since our school’s brand doesn’t quite match the prestige of God Lin’s Haijing Polytechnic, which makes finding jobs more challenging."

Cai Wenqi added another line to save face, complimenting Xia Hongyao and flatteringly Lin Baici.

"Are we going to keep waiting like this?"

Xia Hongyao murmured softly; she was growing restless, particularly because the male students around them weren’t focusing on their books and kept sneaking glances at her.

The feeling was very uncomfortable.

"Do you have a better plan?"

Lin Baici retorted.

Xia Hongyao shook her head, then let her hands naturally drop by her sides and leaned her upper body on the table, resting her head on one side to observe the students.

"God Lin, could I add you on WeChat?"

Cai Wenqi asked, her demeanor as meek as a sycophant yearning to add a goddess on WeChat. In fact, she could have gotten Lin Baici’s WeChat from Li Wei, but even if he added her out of respect for Li Wei, what if they didn’t chat?

Lin Baici took out his phone, about to let Cai Wenqi scan his QR code, when his stomach suddenly growled.

A wave of hunger swept over him.

"Taboo things are approaching!"

Lin Baici was instantly invigorated. He didn’t look around immediately for fear of alerting the ’internal organ thief’: "Look around, is there anyone who doesn’t seem like a student? Or maybe a student behaving oddly?"

"Okay!"

Cai Wenqi was quick on the uptake, leaning close to Lin Baici as though they were a couple whispering, but her eyes very much searching the nearby area.

A whiff of shampoo scent drifted into Lin Baici’s nose.

"Red Medicine, you go somewhere else!"

Lin Baici had forgotten about this.

"Huh?"

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

"Move, quick!"

Lin Baici was frustrated. Xia Hongyao was like a big bear, drawing too much attention.

"I see someone, by the third window on the west side, standing there!"

Cai Wenqi tensed up: "Is he... is he a bad guy?"

Xia Hongyao instinctively looked over.

"Don’t look!"

Lin Baici reached out and wrapped an arm around Xia Hongyao’s shoulder.

"What does he look like?"

Lin Baici didn’t look over; he didn’t want to make eye contact with the person: "Find a moment, and sneak a photo of them!"

"Black hoodie, hat, and a mask, can’t see the face!"

Cai Wenqi took several selfies with her phone, discreetly capturing the ’internal organ thief’ in them.

Lin Baici took a look. The other person was very keen on protecting their privacy, with an oversized hoodie and head wrapped up tightly; except for a pair of eyes, nothing was visible.

Xia Hongyao also leaned in, "Can we make a move now?"

"Aren’t you worried this guy might cause a contamination of the rules?"

What if the person was a deranged villain? This was the library, with hundreds present. If the crowd got involved, there’s no telling how many might die.

"Go to Li Mei’s side. If things get dangerous, take her hostage. I’ll deal with that internal organ thief!"

No sooner had Lin Baici finished speaking than Cai Wenqi, anxious, leaned close to Lin Baici’s ear to remind, "That guy’s gone!"

Perhaps because she was too nervous, or maybe it was a bit of cunning, Cai Wenqi’s lips brushed against Lin Baici’s cheek.

"Action!"

Lin Baici stood up and quickly left the library.

"Could God Lin be in danger?"

Cai Wenqi worried.

Lin Baici, unresponsive to her, caused a small sense of loss in Cai Wenqi. However, considering Lin Baici’s looks and status, he surely wasn’t short of women throwing themselves at him.

Cai Wenqi glanced at Xia Hongyao.

Um!

Not including her.

"You should get out of here fast!"

Xia Hongyao urged her, then got up and walked towards Li Mei.

Cai Wenqi hesitated, aware that this might be her closest encounter yet with a God Hunter, so she decided to take a risk.

"I’ll cover you, it’s less likely we’ll be discovered!"

Cai Wenqi followed Xia Hongyao.

...

Lin Baici gave chase, his hunger fading, indicating that the other party was rapidly distancing themselves from the library.

"He mustn’t have noticed me. He just came to check on Li Mei, and after ensuring she was alright, he left!"

Lin Baici pondered, what was the relationship between Li Mei and this guy?

Moreover, the first time he had come to this university, the hunger he felt was seemingly because of this guy.

Lin Baici hurried on and, after approximately three minutes, he saw the hoodie-wearing man with his hands in his pockets, head down, walking along the cement path towards Building B.

That was a chemical laboratory building, closed at night due to the large amounts of chemical reagents inside.

"Did this guy notice me?"

Lin Baici frowned. Or was the other simply passing by this area?

He thought of a possibility, could it be that the guy was worried about collateral damage from radiation rule contamination, so he was trying to lure him in for a one-on-one confrontation?

But would a thief who stole internal organs care about the life or death of others?

Lin Baici quickened his pace; his nature was such that even if he knew there was danger ahead, he wouldn’t back down.

Sure enough, as the man in the hoodie reached the shadowy area on the west side of Building B, he suddenly swung his fist, shattered a window, and darted inside.

"Fuck!"

Lin Baici cursed and immediately sprinted. Concerned about being ambushed, he didn’t enter through the broken window but made a hole in the glass of the classroom next door and went through.

Lin Baici activated Snake Bone Soft Body and skillfully crawled in. Just as he was moving through the classroom, ready to break through the door, his heart gave a violent thump.

Something was off!

Why was the light on in this classroom?

Lin Baici’s first thought was that someone had forgotten to turn it off, but he seemed to recall that when he came in, this classroom was dark.

"Your feeling is right; you’re already caught in rule contamination!"

"If you leave this classroom without completing the homework assigned by the teacher, you will die!"

The rule contamination erupted naturally and subtly, which is why Lin Baici, being more vigilant, avoided directly breaking through the door, which Xia Hongyao might have done, resulting in death.

"Homework?"

Lin Baici turned his head to observe.

The classroom was arranged with four rows of single desks, fifteen desks per row. On each desk, there was a banana and a white metal box, similar to containers used in hospitals to hold surgical instruments.

The ceiling lights weren’t ordinary energy-saving bulbs but the shadowless lamps used in hospital operating rooms.

The atmosphere felt eerie and frightening.

"I didn’t notice these just now?"

Lin Baici was startled, rule contamination really was unpredictable. He turned his head to look at the blackboard, where five words were written.

"Today’s homework is learning surgical suturing!"

"Please carefully suture your own banana!"

The remaining three lines were erased by the blackboard eraser, leaving only vague white traces.

"..."

Lin Baici frowned; was this related to medicine?

He was completely unskilled in this discipline.

And what about these erased three lines? What did they say?

Could it be the key information to purify the rule contamination?

As Lin Baici was about to discern the traces more carefully, he felt something wet on his skin. Lowering his head, he saw that on the skin that was exposed, blood was flowing down.

A lot!
