As the Ferris wheel turned, the cabin rose, and the entire park came into view for Lin Baici.

In the distance, the lake shimmered with waves, and the lawn was vast, with lush green grass stretching as far as the eye could see. Under the azure sky, kites flew.

Groups of stray dogs frolicked and barked.

Lin Baici noticed many trash cans.

Yes, there were many trash cans scattered throughout the park. When some of the stray dogs got hungry, they would rummage through the trash cans for food.

“Look, Xiaolin!”

Xia Hongyao excitedly pointed to the ground. “Numbers!”

“Yeah!”

Lin Baici also saw them.

On the lawn, some patches of grass were taller than others, clearly trimmed by a master gardener, forming huge numbers.

Starting from 1, they continued in sequence.

“Found it, 502!”

Xia Hongyao cheered. In the direction of eleven o’clock, she saw the shape of 502 formed by the trimmed grass.

If people were standing on the ground, it would be difficult for them to notice these numbers. But if they hadn’t deduced the number 502 and only went on the Ferris wheel, everyone would have overlooked their significance.

After all, it was common to trim flowers and gardens in a park.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici couldn’t wait for the cabin to descend. He took another look at the park, making sure he didn’t miss any details, then held the leg of the giant locust and opened the cabin, wrapping his arm around Xia Hongyao’s waist and jumped down.

Thud!

The two landed and immediately rushed towards 502.

Upon seeing this scene, the others exclaimed with joy.

“Hey handsome, did you find the dog food?”

The gymnast shouted.

“Wait for us!”

The tall guy was afraid that Lin Baici would leave them behind.

But with the Ferris wheel still turning, they didn’t dare to jump down. They could only wait anxiously.

Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao ran all the way and arrived at a small slope covered with grass, about the size of a basketball court.

“Where’s the dog food?”

Xia Hongyao looked around. “Do we have to dig three feet into the ground?”

“Dig!”

Although Lin Baici said so, he didn’t dig randomly. Instead, he headed straight for the 0 in 502 and started digging in that area.

Using the bronze sword as a tool, Lin Baici dug up the soil, causing dirt and grass clippings to fly around.

Xia Hongyao dug a few times beside him and then ran over. She thought Lin Baici had better luck.

After digging for a little over a minute, Lin Baici suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead.

How could I forget about the divination turtle shell?

I should divine it.

Lin Baici took out the turtle shell and held it in his palms, clasping it with both hands.

“Please tell me, where is the dog food?”

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

The turtle shell reached its highest point and then fell freely.

Crack!

It landed in the grass.

“Kneel and offer three sacrifices, respect the heavens and the spirits!”

‘It’ elongated its tone as usual.

Lin Baici could only wait patiently.

“The turtle shell divination, the spirit is wise.”

“West is auspicious, encountering it brings joy!”

Upon hearing this, Xia Hongyao’s expression brightened. “Got it!”

“Which way is west? Be more specific!”

Lin Baici asked eagerly. He had a compass, but due to the interference of the contaminated rules, he didn’t know if the directions had changed.

“…”

‘It’ wanted to say, can’t we have some style? Being too specific about divination is not good. It has to be mysterious and vague to have that taste.

“Hurry up!”

Lin Baici urged. “If something happens to me, I’ll smash you!”

“Turn left 60 degrees and walk about twelve steps forward!”

‘It’ reported a data straightforwardly, solving people’s doubts and urgent needs. It’s what a great man does, no problem at all.

It’s not like it’s afraid of being broken.

Lin Baici immediately turned left and walked twelve steps forward. He started digging the soil. After just a dozen or so strokes, the bronze sword made a clanging sound as it hit something, emitting a metallic noise.

Lin Baici quickened his pace and dug it out. It was a palm-sized iron box.

“If I had known divination was so useful, we should have used it earlier!”

Xia Hongyao regretted a bit.

“It’s useless!”

‘It’ explained, “The smaller the range, the more information I can provide. If you wanted to use me to find something as soon as you came up, it was just wishful thinking!”

“After all, I’m just divination, not fortune-telling.”

Lin Baici saw a small lock on the iron box and directly chopped it off with the bronze sword.

Click!

The iron box opened.

Inside was a thick stack of photos.

“Is this the dog food?”

Xia Hongyao was surprised.

“It should be!”

Lin Baici picked up a stack and quickly flipped through them. They were all photos of Dushan and Wenli.

In the photos, Dushan smiled happily, like a blissful fool.

“Could these be the precious memories of Dushan and Wenli?”

Xia Hongyao saw that these photos were taken from Dushan’s perspective. They were eating KFC together, shopping together, and even going to the zoo together.

In Dushan’s heart, these were his most cherished memories.

“I found the dog food!”Lin Baici shouted, hoping that the wild dogs would stop the countdown and end this round of the game.

“There should be a divine taboo here, right?”

Xia Hongyao took out a stack of photos. “Quick, find the one with the dog in the photo. It might be the divine taboo!”

Lin Baici didn’t feel hungry, indicating that there was no divine taboo in this stack of photos.

“Hey handsome, did you find it?”

The gymnast ran over.

“Hey handsome, you’re awesome!”

Wang Bing cheered.

“I’m sure he found it. I heard him shout!”

The slipper-wearing man slowed down, no longer in a hurry, but was pulled by his girlfriend the next second.

“Why are you dawdling? Hurry up!”

His girlfriend was worried that there was a limit to the number of people who could leave, so she was anxious.

But in the next moment, as a gust of wind carrying the smell of dog feces blew across the lawn, the scenery in front of everyone changed.

“Are we back?”

His girlfriend stood on the balcony, looking at the clothes hanging on the clothesline that had just been washed and were still dripping with water. A sense of joy after surviving a disaster surged in her heart.

Woo woo woo!

She burst into tears.

“Oh damn, the computer crashed!”

From the study, the slipper-wearing man’s wailing could be heard. He had planned to come back after finishing the adult film on the computer, so he could watch it with his girlfriend while playing poker. Now his plan was ruined.

“Why are you wailing? Hurry up and run!”

His girlfriend shouted.

…

The pollution of the rules was purified, and Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao left the park and appeared in Dushan’s bedroom.

Dushan was still the same, with a crooked mouth and a slanted eye, leaning against the gaming chair, paralyzed there.

The only difference was that there was now a Border Collie.

The Border Collie stood on Dushan’s leg, took a bite of food from the takeout box on the table with its dog mouth, and then brought it to Dushan’s mouth.

Some food residue appeared at the corner of Dushan’s mouth, and the Border Collie licked it clean with its tongue.

“What are they doing? Feeding him?”

Xia Hongyao was a little confused.

When Lin Baici saw this dog, he felt hungry, which startled him.

Is it the divine taboo?

Lin Baici instinctively made a move and threw out the Dragon Tooth.

Go!

The Border Collie was startled by the sudden appearance of the two people. It immediately jumped off Dushan and prepared to leave, but the Bronze Sword was too fast.

Restrain!

The Dragon Tooth shot out, carrying a beautiful shadow, pierced the Border Collie’s body, and flew several meters away, pinning it to the wall.

Ahh!

The Border Collie screamed and struggled, leaving behind a trail of blood on its body.

“Huh? Why does it feel familiar?”

Lin Baici thought for a moment and remembered.

A few days ago, Gu Qingxiang invited him to dinner. He saw a dirty Border Collie begging for food outside Yang Er’s barbecue stall.

The Border Collie almost got hit by a wine bottle from a table of customers.

Feeling sorry for it, Lin Baici threw a skewer to it.

He understood now.

No wonder he didn’t have to participate in the first round of the frisbee game in the pollution of the rules. It was because he had given it a skewer.

But can the divine taboo still be a living creature?

Lin Baici frowned. Although he had not been a Divine Hunter for a long time and had not visited the Origin Forum many times, he knew that divine taboos were all lifeless objects.

“Quick, find the divine taboo!”

Xia Hongyao left the master bedroom and searched in other rooms. “Focus on things related to dogs, like dog food, dog leashes, frisbees!”

…

Lin Baici confirmed that Xia Hongyao didn’t know that this dog was the divine taboo from her reaction.

Or maybe she didn’t even think that the divine taboo could be alive.

Ignorance is bliss.

Lin Baici glanced at Dushan, confirming that this guy was really dumb and wouldn’t pose a threat, so he walked up to the Border Collie’s body.

[A loyal dog! It tastes so good. I recommend making it into a hot pot and sprinkling some coriander!]

“Can the divine taboo still be a living creature?”

Lin Baici was curious.

[Generally speaking, it’s impossible. It’s an exception!]

The Food God commented.

“How did it become an exception?”

Lin Baici wanted to know.

[A Border Collie abandoned by someone, its life evolved because it accidentally licked the saliva of a divine being, giving birth to divine grace.]

[In fact, the term “divine taboo” is just a human term. Humans have a very shallow understanding of them.]

“Divine being’s saliva?”

Lin Baici was shocked. “Where did it lick it? When did it lick it?”

Generally speaking, the range of activities for a stray dog shouldn’t be very large, right? Does that mean there is a divine being near Haijing University?

That’s too dangerous!

Even if we take a step back, if this Border Collie has a large range of activities covering the entire Haijing City, it still means that there is a divine being in this city.

Just a divine relic the size of a palm can emit such strong pollution. If it were a living divine being…

I dare not think about it!

[Three months ago, this dog passed by a trash can and licked a takeout box.]

The Food God commented.

“Do divine beings eat takeout? By the way, what exactly are divine beings?”

Lin Baici’s mind was full of questions now.

[They are ingredients!]

[They are gifts from nature!]

In the Food God’s tone, there seemed to be a sense of gratitude.【Alright, enough chit-chat. Let’s start eating while the ingredients are still fresh and haven’t spoiled yet!】

The Food God urged.

“……”

Lin Baici looked at the Border Collie. Eat it?

【Roll the dog meat, the gods won’t stand steady. But this time, I mean divine favor.】

The Food God commented.

“It has divine favor?”

Lin Baici was astonished, and his eyebrows raised. Was this an unexpected surprise?

The Food God didn’t answer.

Two slender arms extended from Lin Baici’s shoulders. They were transparent, shimmering with starlight. In this quiet night, they appeared even more magnificent and beautiful, sparkling with starlight.

They brushed over the Border Collie’s body and grabbed a ball of light from it.

The ball of light was the size of a fist, like a soap bubble. In this dimly lit bedroom, it appeared colorful, and inside it was wrapped a dull golden ball, shining brightly.

This was clearly something that couldn’t be artificially created.

【Thanks for the gift from nature!】

Listening to the Food God’s routine pre-meal prayer, Lin Baici opened his mouth.

The ball of light entered his mouth, burst with a wave, and the soap bubble popped. The dull golden ball made contact with his mouth and instantly melted, turning into a stream of heat that flowed into his throat and stomach.

The sensation was like walking in the snow and ice for a long time, feeling tired and hungry, and suddenly drinking a cup of hot milk.

Comfortable! Enjoyable!

Lin Baici’s body temperature rose, and at the same time, some mysterious knowledge appeared in his mind, rooting and imprinting on his neurons.

A sharp pain attacked his brain, but it only lasted for a few seconds before disappearing. Afterward, Lin Baici felt a tremendous sense of fullness.

Satisfied! Content!

New divine favor, a hundred flavors obtained√.

【Everyone’s life is like a dish, with sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy flavors, or a combination of all, or even a smell that is unbearable and tasteless!】

Lin Baici carefully savored this divine favor.

A hundred flavors, just as the words implied. With this divine favor, he could discern all the smells mixed within by just inhaling.

His sense of smell greatly improved.

【Wow, a very practical divine favor.】

【As a Food God, you should have a keen nose to find delicious food and discern the quality of food.】

【Camels can smell rainwater 80 kilometers away, bears can detect the stench of animal corpses 20 miles away. What about you?】

【You can smell the scent of a female with strong hormone secretion ten miles away!】

“What do you mean, Food God?”

Lin Baici was speechless. “Other animals just look for food. How did it become about finding females when it comes to me? Am I that unsatisfied?”

【The Nine-Leak Fish has been confirmed. Can’t you understand a metaphor?】

【Anyway, even without activation, your sense of smell has already improved, allowing you to smell many odors in daily life that you wouldn’t normally notice. Once activated, it will greatly amplify, allowing you to smell odors several kilometers away, or even more than a dozen kilometers away.】

【But it is not recommended to activate divine favors frequently because there are too many natural smells, and some are too strong, which will seriously affect your appetite!】

【In addition, this divine favor also has a major drawback. Your sense of smell becomes too sensitive, causing you to have higher standards for the quality of ingredients.】

【Ingredients that are slightly less fresh, many people can’t taste the difference, but for you, it’s no different from being rotten and spoiled.】

“Isn’t that terrible?”

Lin Baici was completely dumbfounded.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and they eat three meals a day.

If eating becomes torture every day in the future, who can bear it?

As the saying goes, “If it’s not dirty, it won’t make you sick.” This is actually a self-deprecating remark. After all, who doesn’t want to eat clean and hygienic food that is fresh?

But for the working class, they don’t have the energy or the financial means.

“Fortunately, I don’t plan to go to Tianzhu in this lifetime, otherwise I would be finished!”

Lin Baici thought of the legendary stinky Marasala.

Hiss!

He was already feeling unwell.

Lin Baici instinctively sniffed his nose, and then…

He retched!

Lin Baici felt like vomiting.

In this rented room, there were uneaten takeout boxes, dog feces, garbage, and crawling cockroaches everywhere. The mixture of their smells was suffocating.

He retched!

Lin Baici covered his mouth.

“Hongyao, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going out first!”

Lin Baici ran outside.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Xia Hongyao was startled.

“It’s nothing, I was overwhelmed by the smell!”

Lin Baici ran out of the building, vigorously fanning his hand in front of his nose, accelerating the circulation of air. He felt much better after that.

Come to think of it, wasn’t the scent of a high ponytail without makeup her body odor?

No,

It should be the scent of shower gel.

It smells quite nice!

Then Lin Baici’s brows furrowed because before the sound of dense footsteps approached, many smells had already wafted over.

At least twenty people.

……

Half an hour earlier.

When Xia Hongmian arrived, the head of the three departments immediately came forward to report the situation.”The Mirage City system has been activated. As Xia Hongyao and a wild god hunter have entered the Divine Taboo game, and the rule pollution range is not large, only spreading over half of the Bosuo community, the members of the third team are on standby according to the disaster handling process, without entering the rule pollution area!”

“The current pollution level is tentatively set at 5.0.”

The head of the third team spoke very quickly, but his words were clear and organized.

Rule pollution is dangerous, especially when it reaches above 5.0. There is a great risk for god hunters to enter, so under normal circumstances, if a safety officer has already entered, everyone else will be on standby.

The safety officer who enters first, in principle, avoids purifying the rule pollution and prioritizes gathering information.

Of course, if the polluted area is too large and affects too many people, the safety officers will immediately enter the polluted area and seal the Divine Taboo.

As for the ‘Mirage City’, it is a set of equipment developed by the Jiuzhou Safety Bureau using the Divine Taboo. Once activated, it can form a realistic environment, while blocking all sounds, light sources, etc., to cover the polluted area and prevent it from being discovered and spied on by outsiders.

For example, now, people living around the Bosuo community, if they look over here, they still see the night view of a community, but in fact, that is the effect of the Mirage City.

After the head of the third team finished speaking, he glanced at Xia Hongyao: “Shall we enter the polluted area now?”

He knew that Xia Hongyao was the sister of Minister Xia.

After seeing Xia Hongyao and a boy enter the Bosuo community from the surveillance video, to be honest, the head of the third team planned to stop waiting and go in for rescue directly, but thinking about Xia Hongyao’s style, he didn’t dare to violate the rules.

“No need!”

Xia Hongyao couldn’t abuse her power for personal gain. Even if she was worried about her sister’s safety, if she wanted to enter the polluted area, she would go herself.

“Stay on guard according to the procedure!”

Xia Hongyao instructed, standing under a street lamp, quietly waiting.

Moths attracted to the light fluttered around the lamp.

The early autumn night breeze blew, bringing a slight chill.

Xia Hongyao stood there, not speaking, as quiet as a statue. Half an hour later, she suddenly looked up and glanced at her watch.

“That was quick!”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xia Hongyao’s eyes.

She knew her sister’s intelligence and strength very well, so to purify a Divine Taboo game with a pollution intensity of 5.0 so quickly, it must have been the boy who accomplished it.
