Chapter 986: Chapter 468 Haunted Apartment, Test Begins

The light of dusk, streaming through the window edges, sprinkled inside the dormitory.

Du Ke’s appearance was quite ordinary, the typical common face, not easy to distinguish when thrown into a crowd, but he bore a refined elegance, like a freshman just starting university.

"Here, take this!"

Du Ke passed another stick of chewing gum to Lin Baici, his tone warm and overly familiar.

"Thanks!"

Lin Baici accepted the gum and in turn, fished out a pack of Friend-brand cigarettes from his pocket, offering one back.

He meant no harm; he just wanted to bond a little with his roommate to avoid any minor conflicts.

It’s one thing for ordinary people to live together, beset with various small grievances, let alone God Hunters; each one was filthy rich and powerful, and definitely wouldn’t indulge the other.

"Smoke mine! Have mine!"

Du Ke pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, insisting on giving Lin Baici a loose one, his enthusiasm unbridled.

"..."

Lin Baici smiled and

decided against offering his cigarette.

At least for now, Du Ke seemed pretty friendly.

"Which division are you from?"

Du Ke peeled open the gum, tossed it into his mouth, and while stowing his luggage, struck up a conversation.

"Haijing, Lin Baici!"

Lin Baici sized up his new roommate, thinking they would be living together for a good half a month.

"Ah? Haijing?"

Upon hearing the name of the place, Du Ke instantly turned around, his eyes bulging as he looked at Lin Baici: "Is Chief Xia Hongmian really that beautiful?"

Du Ke’s eyes blazed with fanaticism, evidently a fan of Xia Hongmian.

"Very beautiful!" Lin Baici laughed, "But when you see her, you’ll overlook her appearance!"

Lin Baici, having seen Xia Hongmian several times, had never really noticed her looks due to an inexplicable pressure, much like the first time he met the Great Shaman.

"I get it, I get it, with such big-shots, their aura is just too strong, looks are merely an embellishment, not that important at all!"

Du Ke nodded, adjusting his glasses: "But being a bit more beautiful is, of course, even better!"

"Need a hand?"

Lin Baici asked, casually slipping the cigarettes back into the pack.

"No need, no need, just sit down!"

Du Ke couldn’t hold back for even a minute and, with a somewhat sheepish and curious look, burst out asking: "Do you have a photo of Xia Hongmian?"

"..."

Lin Baici was speechless; Du Ke was quite desperate, wasn’t he? Besides, even if he had one, he couldn’t show it to him—it would be slightly creepy.

And they had just met, completely unfamiliar with each other.

"A work photo? A group photo? You don’t have any?"

Du Ke was like a hungry puppy waiting to be fed.

"None!"

Lin Baici shook his head.

"Bro, you..."

Du Ke adjusted his glasses, disappointment written all over his face.

If it were me, I’d at least sneak some shots to feast my eyes on every night before snuggling into my bed.

"What’s up with your glasses?"

Lin Baici changed the topic.

All God Hunters had enhanced their physiques, and being here as examiners meant their strength was not weak, so Lin Baici was surprised to see Du Ke wearing glasses.

"Oh, these!"

Du Ke touched his glasses and pushed them up his nose bridge: "My face is too small, which makes me look youthful, so I wear glasses to appear more mature."

"And don’t you think this gives me a scholarly aura?"

Du Ke was proud that putting on glasses added ten percent to his looks.

"Yeah, very handsome!"

Lin Baici complimented him politely.

Du Ke bent down to tidy up his bedding and within seconds, turned back around: "That, Xia Hongmian has a sister, named Xia Hongyao, isn’t she pretty too?"

"Extremely pretty!"

Lin Baici chuckled to himself, thinking that her brain wasn’t quite right.

"Got a photo?"

Du Ke hoped ardently, regretting that the cafeteria meal that evening was free; otherwise, he would have treated Lin Baici to a lavish dinner.

"None!"

Lin Baici thought it over; he truly didn’t have a photo with High Ponytail.

"Dude, not to rag on you, but when you’re this close to the water, can’t you enjoy the view?"

Initially, Du Ke wanted to ask if Lin Baici had never been in a relationship.

But then he glanced at Lin Baici’s face,

oh well, probably more girlfriends than one could count on a hand.

"Does your Xijing examiner team have someone named Deng Mingyu?"

Lin Baici inquired.

"Yeah, he’s our lead examiner this time. Do you know him?"

Du Ke finished setting up his bed and took out a set of bathing supplies from his backpack, placing them in the washroom.

"I’ve heard the name; supposed to be very impressive!"

Lin Baici responded noncommittally.

"Heh!"

Du Ke chuckled, the meaning of the laughter was lost on Lin Baici.

The two of them chatted casually now and then, and at six o’clock, the camp sounded a series of electronic bells.

Ding Dong!

A message came in.

Great Detective Xia: Let’s go eat, meet downstairs.

"Going to eat?"

Lin Baici got up, calling out to Du Ke.

"Let’s go!"

Du Ke showed no intention of calling his Xijing colleagues and left with Lin Baici. Just as they reached the dormitory building’s entrance, he nudged Lin Baici’s arm with his elbow.

"Look quick!"

Du Ke muttered.

At the entrance stood six women, with one of them dressed in sportswear, her black hair tied into a ponytail, exuding a youthful and athletic freshness, like a sleek and beautiful horse!

"Real big, huh!"

Du Ke blurted out, even spreading his hands as if holding a basketball, then placing it over his head as if comparing sizes.

"Little Linzi!"

Xia Hongyao waved: "Come over, I’ll introduce you to a few sisters!"

Whoosh!

Besides An Yi Xian, the remaining five women’s gazes drifted over, first scanning Du Ke, and then began to appraise Lin Baici.

"Damn!"
