The more powerful the divine hunter, the easier it is for them to become obsessed with exploring the God’s Ruins, because for them, it means infinite possibilities.

The lifetime of an ordinary person is within reach at a glance.

Having two or three houses, a virtuous and beautiful wife or a dutiful husband, one or two excellent and obedient children, plus millions of dollars in savings.

This is already a very good life.

Above that, those who can earn tens of millions, or even billions, have their own careers, their own confidantes, and then what?

They can still be tormented by illness, and their bodies will age and weaken…

This is a natural process of life, not subject to human will. Even the supreme emperor cannot obtain immortality, and may even suffer from sequelae due to some illnesses.

But becoming a divine hunter, immortality is unattainable, but having a healthy body for decades is not a problem at all, not to mention obtaining the powerful power of divine grace.

The more divine grace a divine hunter possesses, the higher their position in the ecological chain of the natural world. They have transcended the constraints of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation because they pursue higher goals.

Is death terrifying?

Terrifying! But for divine hunters, there are some things that surpass death and are worth sacrificing their lives for.

And most of these things can be found in the God’s Ruins.

“…” Lin Baici fell silent. He was already somewhat obsessed after exploring two God’s Ruins.

Thinking about that wine pool and meat forest, it made him want more and more powerful divine grace. The enhancement and strengthening of his body also made him enjoy this healthy state, and he couldn’t help but want to eat more meteorites.

However… Lin Baici looked at Xia Hongyao’s hand.

Her fingers were slender, fair, with perfectly trimmed nails, and round fingertips. It seemed that with a gentle grip, she could hold the entire spring!

“Sorry, can I think about it again?” Lin Baici declined.

If it was half a month ago, even if someone offered him an annual salary of one billion, he would have nodded without hesitation. But after experiencing this God’s Ruin, he needed to carefully plan his own life.

Of course, he would also take this time to learn more about the Nine Provinces Security Bureau.

But he had a good impression of Xia Hongyao.

This girl who liked to tie her hair in a high ponytail was definitely a trustworthy friend. Although she lacked intelligence, she dared to fight and was willing to risk her life without hesitation.

If they were to explore the God’s Ruins together, Lin Baici would entrust his life to her.

“Of course, you can. It’s your right!” Xia Hongyao admired Lin Baici’s calmness.

“Thank you!”

Lin Baici held Xia Hongyao’s fingertips and then let go, so as not to make her feel embarrassed.

“After you’ve made your decision, you can call me or tell Hongyao.”

Xia Hongyao took out a business card and handed it to Lin Baici. She glanced at the bulletproof car and said, “Also, thank you for bringing Hongyao along!”

On the other side of the bulletproof car, Xia Hongyao pressed her face against the window and looked over with a worried expression.

“I’ve had a great time working with Hongyao!” Lin Baici explained, “She is not a burden and doesn’t need me to take care of her!”

Xia Hongyao nodded, “I look forward to you becoming my colleague. Goodbye!”

“Goodbye!” Lin Baici watched Xia Hongyao leave. Her back was straight and steady, and each step seemed to be the same length.

[Sniif!]

The Food God made a sniffing sound, as if there was a delicious feast in front of him. Before tasting it, he forcefully sniffed, enjoying its deliciousness.

“I really want to eat her!”

“I really want to eat her!”

The Food God muttered to himself.

“What’s so special about her?” Lin Baici was curious. Even when facing the divine corpse, the Food God had never shown such an urgent attitude.

The Food God didn’t answer and fell silent.

“Xiao… Xiaobai, you just turned down an annual salary of one billion!” Xia Hongyao left, making Hua Yueyu suddenly feel lighter, as if after a home visit, strict teachers and parents had left, and she could have fun.

“Let me calculate, one billion divided by twelve, oh my god, a monthly salary of 8.33 million.” Hua Yueyu was shocked. It was a lot of money.

Like those top 10 athletes, top stars, they could earn this much money in a year, but those people were too far away from Hua Yueyu and had no sense of reality. After all, no matter how much they earned, it had nothing to do with her. But Lin Baici was a friend in real life.

Can someone tell me how I can make people believe “I really have a friend with an annual salary of one billion” when I brag on the forum?

Hurry up, I’m in a hurry!

“Now that you’re a divine hunter, you can also earn a lot of money if you want to, but this profession is dangerous. It’s safer to be a streamer!” Lin Baici chuckled and rubbed Hua Yueyu’s head.

“What’s safe? If I accidentally show my feet, I’ll be banned and accused of violating the rules. I’m really innocent. If I want to sell my legs, can the super moderators tell?” Hua Yueyu felt wronged. Being a streamer is also tiring, okay? The competition is fierce, and she doesn’t know how many people are watching her. Once she makes a mistake, she will definitely be criticized and harassed by haters every day. It puts a lot of mental pressure on her.

“Daddy, how about you support me?”

Hua Yueyu giggled, “I don’t eat much. A banana and a bag of milk for each meal is enough for me!”

“???” Lin Baici was puzzled.

“Haha, just kidding!” Hua Yueyu glanced at Lin Baici’s arm. She actually wanted to hug Xiao Bai’s arm and have some intimate gestures to deepen their relationship, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

Ah! I’m still too shy. If it were Jin Yingzhen, that Korean fox, she would have made a move long ago.

Speaking of which, Xiao Bai is too serious. He hasn’t experienced these flirtatious words. I have to be careful in the future, so as not to accidentally run over his face while driving.

Because of being a streamer, Hua Yueyu had to drive a lot, otherwise, the atmosphere wouldn’t be lively. But she was just strong in words, and currently had zero practical experience.

“To be honest, Xiao Bai, what are your plans? Are you going to join them and make a living by exploring the God’s Ruins?” Hua Yueyu worried, “I feel like the death risk in this line of work is too high!”

Hua Yueyu used to envy those divine hunters, but after experiencing this God’s Ruin, she had some second thoughts.If it weren’t for following Lin Baici, I would definitely be in trouble.

“Whether to join the Jiuzhou Security Bureau or not is still uncertain, but I definitely want to explore the God’s Ruins. You don’t know how amazing the divine grace is!” Lin Baici thought of the Wine Pool and Meat Forest again and quickly wanted to find an opportunity to try it out!

“No matter what, I support you!” Hua Yueyu tiptoed and patted Lin Baici’s shoulder. “And this time, I owe you a lot, so I’ve decided to upgrade the Wine Pool and Meat Forest for you. I’ll find you seven dragons, how about that?”

Hua Yueyu thought about herself and actually obtained the powerful divine grace of the Drunken Immortal Fist. Suddenly, she felt that it was not enough to just serve Lin Baici without cosplaying as a dragon. She couldn’t accept it.

“If you treat me as a friend, don’t talk about owing favors!” Lin Baici looked at the dispersing dark mist in the sky, raised his hands, and stretched lazily.

Great!

…

When Xia Hongyao saw Xia Hongmian return to the bulletproof car, she quickly poured out the prepared words.

This time, she must secure Lin Baici’s exemption qualification.

If my sister doesn’t agree, I won’t do it either. I’ll go and be a wild divine hunter with Xiaolin.

“Sister, let me tell you, Xiaolin… uh, Lin Baici is super strong!” Xia Hongyao had just said a sentence when Xia Hongmian interrupted her. “I know!”

“Huh? You know?” Xia Hongyao was surprised. “How do you know?”

Xia Hongmian glanced at her sister.

“Well, you definitely don’t know everything. Let me tell you in detail. At that time, we encountered an altar…” Xia Hongyao spoke very quickly, but before she could finish, she heard Xia Hongmian’s words and froze.

“I gave him the terms for recruiting geniuses!”

After a few seconds of being frozen, Xia Hongyao became excited.

“That’s great! I finally have the first member of the team!” Xia Hongyao was very happy and slapped the seat under her butt hard. But soon, she frowned again. “Wait, sister, you came up with so many reasons before and didn’t give him the exemption qualification. Why did you agree directly now?”

“Because I saw him!” Xia Hongmian explained concisely.

“…”

Xia Hongyao was speechless. What kind of reason was that? It seemed like you didn’t trust my judgment?

Depressed!

“He didn’t agree!” Xia Hongmian leaned back on the chair and closed her eyes.

“What didn’t he agree to?”

Xia Hongyao was puzzled and then reacted. “You mean he didn’t agree to the terms for recruiting geniuses?”

Xia Hongmian couldn’t be bothered to answer such a question.

“Why?” Xia Hongyao didn’t understand. The previous person who received this contract was Ying Baili, the strongest newcomer in the Jiuzhou Security Bureau.

This contract represented the recognition of the Security Bureau, not just the benefits.

What kind of recognition? Recognition of strength!

The newcomers who received this contract were called Dragon-level Reserves within the Security Bureau.

It meant that they would definitely become divine hunters at the Dragon level.

“After the God’s Ruins, you will help him with the post-process.” Xia Hongmian instructed.

“Oh!” Xia Hongyao would take care of it without Xia Hongmian saying anything.

After the God’s Ruins, the survivors would be taken away by security personnel for questioning, describing their experiences in the God’s Ruins.

After the investigation, the security personnel would conduct decontamination work on them and have them sign a confidentiality agreement.

Whether to publicly disclose the God’s Ruins, a supernatural disaster, had been a subject of debate within the Security Bureau for more than ten years.

Some elders believed that it should be made public and that citizens should not be protected like children, while others were concerned that publicizing this information would cause social panic and irreparable mistakes.

Currently, humans still knew very little about the radiation contamination from the divine remains.

Three years ago, the intelligence of six employees of the Security Bureau regressed to that of infants. After investigation, it was discovered that the reason was that six years ago, they had seen a photo of a divine being.

This seemed like such a trivial action, but it caused the intelligence of six people to regress. Two of them became dead flesh a year ago, with no hope of recovery.

If the information about the God’s Ruins were made public to the citizens, if there were any terrifying information that the Security Bureau had not noticed, it could directly lead to contamination of the citizens years later, causing absolute chaos in society.

Some divine hunters stayed behind to continue rescuing survivors, searching through the ruins to ensure that no divine taboos were left behind and that the contamination had been completely cleaned up.

The others returned to headquarters. Lin Baici and Hua Yueyu followed Xia Hongyao and went to the building of the Haijing branch of the Security Bureau. It was a fifty-story commercial building located at 128 Tai’an Road. It looked no different from other office buildings.

Swipe the card, enter the building, and go up to the seventh floor.

Xia Hongyao called two young girls who had just graduated, and they seemed to be in charge of recording for Lin Baici and Hua Yueyu.

“Yuyu, say whatever you want, don’t be afraid.”

Xia Hongyao accompanied Hua Yueyu into another room.

These investigations needed to be conducted separately.

The girl wearing a bee-shaped headband played with a voice recorder and didn’t start immediately. Instead, she curiously asked Lin Baici.

“What is your relationship with Sister Hongyao?”

“You’re so handsome, do you have many girls chasing after you?”

“How many girls have you impregnated? When they had abortions, did you pay for it or did they pay for it themselves?”

Lin Baici frowned. What kind of messy questions were these?

【A girl who has been contaminated to some extent after accidentally encountering a divine being. Her mind has some problems, and she often asks others about love topics. If the person answers, they will also be contaminated and will always think about breaking up. The relationship cannot last.】

“…”

Lin Baici was shocked.

Just answering a few questions could lead to contamination?

This was too terrifying!

Lin Baici decided to remain silent.

Five minutes later, Xia Hongyao came back. “How is it going?”

“Sister Hongyao, this gentleman is not cooperating.” The girl complained.

“No, Xiaolin has a good personality.”

Xia Hongyao was surprised and looked at Lin Baici.

“Sister Hongyao, have you been looking for a boyfriend recently? Do many boys chase after you? If you accidentally get pregnant, will you give birth or have an abortion?” The girl’s eyes were full of curiosity.

“I don’t have time to look for a boyfriend…”Xia Hongyao was caught off guard and was about to answer when Lin Baici was frightened. He stood up abruptly and shouted, “Shut up!”

“Huh?” Xia Hongyao was confused. What’s wrong with you all of a sudden, Lin?

“I get it, you two are secret lovers. After all, your chest is so big, no man can resist!” The young girl made her own assumptions.

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

Xia Hongyao wanted to say that this was her best friend, but Lin Baici rushed over in a few strides and covered her mouth.

“Come with me!” Lin Baici didn’t really want to deal with this, as it could expose the Food God, but he had no choice. Xia Hongyao worked here and would often interact with this young girl, who would eventually be contaminated.

“That girl has a problem, she seems to have been contaminated.” Lin Baici lowered his voice.

“Huh?” Xia Hongyao was startled, turned her head, and saw the young girl peeking out from behind the door like a groundhog.

“Stop being surprised, go handle it!” Lin Baici urged.

“Okay!” Xia Hongyao trusted Lin Baici very much and didn’t ask him how he found out that the recorder had a problem. She left immediately.

Soon, fully armed security personnel came and took the young girl away.

Lin Baici and Hua Yueyu were making records and eating the takeout brought by Xia Hongyao. By the time everything was done, it was already ten o’clock at night.

“At this time, your school should be closed, right? The Security Bureau has dormitories, but I guess you’re not used to it. Why don’t you stay at my place for the night?” Xia Hongyao invited.

“Don’t bother, you’ve had a long day too. Rest early, I’ll stay at a hotel.”

Jin Yingzhen had booked a Hilton luxury suite at Haijing University of Technology for a year. It would be a waste not to stay: “Little Fish, will you come with me?”

“Okay!” Hua Yueyu nodded.

“That’s good, I still have some official business here. After I finish, I’ll take you to a nice place!”

Just out of God’s Ruins, Xia Hongyao was actually quite busy.

“Another nice place?” Lin Baici joked.

Palm Harbor is actually quite high-end. If it hadn’t been hit by a meteor, it would definitely be a great experience.

“Don’t worry, this time it’s in the city, and the boss lady there is very beautiful. I guarantee that once you go, you won’t want to leave.”

Xia Hongyao personally saw Lin Baici and Hua Yueyu out and even called them a taxi.

“See you another day!”

……

In the office, Xia Hongmian put down the phone, operated the mouse, and opened the surveillance video.

A subordinate just reported that a female employee in the Security Bureau had been contaminated and had mental problems. It was Xia Hongyao who discovered it.

Soon, Xia Hongmian saw Lin Baici in the video.

She pressed the pause button, got up to pour a cup of coffee, and continued.

After browsing all of Lin Baici’s videos in the Security Bureau, Xia Hongmian searched forward in the surveillance, then locked onto the moment seven days ago when the young girl went out to get takeout.

A deliveryman in a Meituan uniform handed over a takeout order. With the clarity of these cameras in the Security Bureau, they couldn’t capture his face clearly.

Xia Hongmian took a sip of coffee, her eyes turning cold.

Recently, all kinds of strange things have been happening.

Do they think my knife is not sharp anymore? Or have their necks hardened?

……

Xia Hongyao returned to the office and was about to work when her phone rang. She glanced at it and saw that someone had @ her in the ‘Soul of the Dragon’ WeChat group.

Prime Minister Crane: @Detective Xia, what’s the situation with the God’s Ruins in Haijing? Has it been broken?

Hotpot Immortal: With Minister Xia in charge, it must have been resolved long ago.

My Daughter is the Best in the World: I really want to explore the God’s Ruins with Minister Xia, but my daughter is the cutest!

Eat Xi Ge: @Detective Xia, was the loss severe?

Xia Hongyao first sent a red envelope of two hundred yuan, then replied.

Detective Xia: It’s already taken care of.

Prime Minister Crane is old, but he’s the fastest. He was the first to grab it, but it was a bit small.

6.6 yuan.

Eat Xi Ge: Thanks boss, I can add a meal tonight.

Prime Minister Crane: How many rule contaminations were encountered in total, and how many Divine Taboos were sealed? Can you send a copy of the investigation report?

If they follow the procedure, everyone can get the investigation report of the God’s Ruins, but it will take two or three days.

Detective Xia: I was involved in the whole process of the God’s Ruins today. If you have any questions, just ask.

Then she sent a laughing emoticon.

In the past, Xia Hongyao could only watch these group leaders exchange experiences in the group, which made her very envious. Today, she finally had a chance to show off.

Hmm!

If Xiao Bai becomes my companion in the future, won’t I be able to come back and show off every time?

Just thinking about it makes me feel excited.

Prime Minister Crane: Minister Xia is ruthless, personally training her sister.

Detective Xia: My sister didn’t go.

Prime Minister Crane: ???

Hotpot Immortal: ???

Eat Xi Ge: If Minister Xia didn’t go into the God’s Ruins, why would she let you in? Does she want to eat your seat?

A Wandering Red Ghost: Who was the Dragon-level leader of the team?

Even the lurking ghosts were shocked.
