Chapter 649: Chapter 322: Rule Contamination Erupts Again!_2

...

"What do you think? Still want to kill him?"

Li Yintong joked.

"Did I say that? You heard wrong; I said we should take the opportunity to befriended him!"

Huang Jinxiang stood up, not wanting to stay here anymore, "Let’s go, we should explore the room!"

"Not going!"

Li Yintong refused, "Don’t bother, Lin Baici definitely has some kind of exploration-related Divine Grace. Following him is more worry-free and less effort."

Huang Jinxiang shrugged his shoulders but went anyway.

God Hunters explore the God’s ruins for the Meteorite and Taboo things. Following Lin Baici might be more efficient, but there will be no share of the spoils for themselves.

...

The night seeped through the gap in the curtains into the room, and the dismal white glow of the energy-saving light swayed.

Lin Baici felt as if he had traveled to a distant place,

where the breeze was gentle, the birds and flowers were fragrant,

making his vitality burst forth, wanting to keep running recklessly, until like a firework rising in the midsummer night sky, he exploded completely.

Pop pop!

The sudden noise startled Lin Baici; he grabbed the bronze sword lying next to him and stared at the window.

"Oppa!"

Kim Myungjin hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Lin Baici put his finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

"Shh!"

Lin Baici got out of bed and approached the windowsill.

Pop pop!

That thing was still tapping on the window!

The glass was covered with newspapers stuck with tape, sealed tightly so nothing could be seen.

Lin Baici grasped a corner of the newspaper and ripped it off with force.

Rip!

A torn strip of newspaper the size of a palm fell awa,y and then Lin Baici saw something round and wrapped in bandages, propped on the outside.

"What is this?"

Lin Baici frowned. His first instinct was to puncture it with his sword because the thing outside had raised its hand to smash the window, but in the next instant, the creature seemed startled as if it had seen a ghost and quickly sank downwards, disappearing from sight.

"Why does it feel like the creature was scared off as if it saw a ghost?"

Lin Baici was speechless.

Up until now, he had also seen quite a few monsters. Although he might be startled at first glance, most of the time, he wasn’t panicked because monsters could be killed.

"Oppa!"

Kim Myungjin had gotten up, one hand clutching the blanket, her chest covered.

"It’s not a big problem!"

Lin Baici smiled slightly, "Take a rest, I estimate the Knocking door ghost will come soon."

Just as it happened on the 9th floor, soon after the creature tapping the window appeared, the footsteps of the Knocking door ghost would resound.

"Kill it to get the master key, then find the Badge and search other floors!"

Lin Baici planned to gather everyone before continuing to search the room.

Kim Myungjin wanted to continue as well, but she understood that battling monsters was the priority, so she got up to wash in the bathroom, where the water from the shower was too hot, and even after adjusting, it didn’t help.

With no other option, she had to make do with the tap water instead, but even that was scalding hot.

"Oppa, come quick!"

Kim Myungjin, even without much experience dealing with rule contamination, knew something was wrong.

Lin Baici was getting dressed and, upon hearing her, rushed into the bathroom, only to find it sweltering like a sauna.

The water flowing through the pipes vaporized in abundance, turning into scorching steam.

The condensation fogged the bathroom mirror.

"Come out first!"

Lin Baici carefully felt the room’s temperature.

Indeed, he had felt overly warm earlier but thought it was due to the exercise; only now did he realize that the room temperature had risen.

The sensation was uncomfortable, like being in a house without air-conditioning in the dog days of summer.

Bang bang! Bang bang!

Someone was banging on the door.

"Is it the Knocking door ghost?"

Kim Myungjin held her breath.

"Brother Lin, there’s a problem!"

Li Yintong knocked hard, "Come out quick!"

Lin Baici didn’t hurry to open the door. While waiting for Kim Myungjin to get dressed, he stepped into the bathroom and popped the Meteorite into his mouth.

This hard stone, shrouded in light, dissolved into a stream of warmth as soon as it entered his mouth, flowing into Lin Baici’s stomach, then spreading throughout his body.

Crack! Crack!

Lin Baici’s bones made a sound as they strengthened and grew taller, his skin reddened and emitted a large amount of steam, making the bathroom even more suffocatingly hot.

"God Lin, come out quick, rule pollution has erupted!"

Huang Jinxiang banged on the door with force, as if wishing to disrupt the good thing Lin Baici had going.

After ’consuming’ the Meteorite, Lin Baici’s constitution visibly strengthened. What had felt oppressively hot was now much more bearable; he no longer sweated much, which indicated an enhanced ability of his body to regulate itself.

Waves of heat were coming through the door.

Lin Baici could clearly sense it, a result of his heightened senses. He clenched his fist and felt full of strength, robust to an extreme degree.

"Awesome!"

Lin Baici swung his fist in the air, relishing the healthy feeling. He then turned to leave the bathroom and go open the door.

Kim Myungjin looked at Lin Baici’s back, feeling that he seemed to have grown a bit taller, and she wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was a subtle change in Lin Baici’s temperament, becoming more rugged, and his entire body exuded an aesthetic of strength.

It reminded her of that time in middle school when she visited the African savanna, where she saw the Lion King that just by lying there and licking its paws, radiated the aura of the king of beasts.

Lin Baici opened the door.

Creak!

The door hinge let out a piercing noise.

"Ah?"

Li Yintong, upon seeing Lin Baici and meeting his eyes, for some reason, felt a sudden instinctive fear.

"God Lin, rule pollution has erupted!"

Huang Jinxiang reported.

Both he and Li Yintong’s foreheads were covered in sweat, and they frequently licked their lips, clearly suffering from severe thirst.

"What Taboo thing triggered it? Where is it?"

Lin Baici inquired as he stepped into the hallway and looked around.

The couple was going from room to room, trying to turn door handles in an attempt to find the Taboo thing causing the radiation pollution. Big Ocean Horse and his black brother were hasty in coming down from upstairs.

"God Lin, we just went to the 11th floor, and when we tried to go to other floors, we got shocked!"

Big Ocean Horse reported, "It seems a badge is only a pass for two floors."

"What are you all waiting for? Start searching!"

The female of the couple yelled urgently. Her perspiration was non-stop, her underwear almost completely wet through.

"With God Lin here, no need to panic!"

Li Yintong flattered with the demeanor of a minion.

The male of the couple clearly didn’t trust Lin Baici, ignoring Li Yintong’s words. He questioned everyone, "What have you all been doing just now? Tell me quick!"

The couple wanted to find out through this method where the Taboo thing was and how the pollution was triggered, but unfortunately, no one paid them any attention.

Bath, Jilu, and the others had gone upstairs to check earlier, and had also come down now.

"Did you find anything?"

Huang Jinxiang asked.

"There are people upstairs, but they are fine. We felt very hot, so we hurried down."

Bath loosened his collar and looked around, "Where’s the Taboo thing? Where is it?"

"Haven’t found it yet!"

The female responded.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Jilu urged, "Go search for it!"

The couple and Jilu immediately took action, but the others didn’t move, instead looking towards Lin Baici.

"Search the floors."

Lin Baici commanded.

Under the crisis of life and death, everyone moved quickly. In just ten minutes, they had searched through all the rooms on the floor that could be opened but found nothing.

"Fuck, the Taboo thing isn’t in one of these locked rooms, is it?"

Jilu complained.

Everyone looked displeased. No one dared to break down a door by force, as they had already tried it: without a key, they would get electrocuted.

"Hurry up and catch some mice to get keys, or else we’re going to roast alive in this heat!"

The female urged, her hair strands stuck to her face with sweat.

The temperature on this floor was still rising, like an oven that was heating up, and everyone was like bread being baked.

If this continued, they would surely be cooked through.

"There are too few mice, how long will it take to catch one?"

Big Ocean Horse despaired, "And there are too many rooms as well!"

"Then what do you suggest? Wait to die?"

Ash leigh Gan shook his head in dismay.

"Figure out a way to lure that Knocking door ghost out and then kill it to get the universal key."

Bath spoke up, looking at Lin Baici, "God Lin, you must have a way, right?"

All eyes turned towards him, filled with hope!
