Chapter 169 – Egyptian cat girl


“It’s Xia Hongyao!”

Lin Baici immediately ran over, hearing the sound coming from ahead, Xia Hongyao should be in battle.

Everyone now sees Lin Baici as their savior, so when they saw him running, their hearts tightened. They didn’t know what happened, but they quickly followed, afraid of being left behind.

This time, Lin Baici was lucky and didn’t encounter any rule contamination. Two minutes later, he saw Xia Hongyao. She was fighting a group of mummies, accompanied by over a hundred people.

“Hongyao!”

Lin Baici shouted and joined the battle.

These mummies were similar to the ones he encountered before, with average combat power but more in number. However, with Xia Hongyao’s intelligence at D, her strength and speed at A, and wielding a short knife, she made the mummies cry for their parents.

When Xia Hongyao heard the sound of hurried footsteps, she was worried that another group of monsters had arrived.

She was confident in her own safety, but protecting these ordinary people would be difficult. However, she was relieved when she saw that it was Lin Baici.

“Xiaolinzi!”

Surprise and excitement instantly appeared on Xia Hongyao’s face. “What are you doing here?” she asked.

“Visiting the cultural relics exhibition!” Lin Baici replied, holding a torch and smashing a mummy’s head, then casually lighting it on fire. “I didn’t expect to encounter God’s Ruins again!”

And it was caused by a divine being. This was really frustrating!

“This time it has nothing to do with me, right?”

Xia Hongyao had invited Lin Baici to play twice before, and both times they encountered God’s Ruins. She was concerned that Lin Baici would think they were incompatible or that he would see her as a bad luck charm.

If that were the case, their chances of forming a team would be slim, which would greatly disappoint Xia Hongyao because she had high hopes for Lin Baici.

“It does have something to do with me, but it’s fine, right?”

Lin Baici self-deprecatingly replied, but he was indeed a bit worried. Did he have a constitution that attracted rule contamination?

The probability of God’s Ruins appearing was not high, but in the two months since he became a divine hunter, he had encountered three of them.

During that time, he also encountered a crazy dog and a crazy maid at the Dragon and Beauty Bar. The danger level of that encounter was definitely not much lower than exploring a God’s Ruin.

Oh, Lin Baici also remembered that after feeling hungry at Haijing Normal University, he saw a person wearing sunglasses and a mask.

That person was acting suspiciously and was obviously not a good person. “Hehe, don’t worry, I don’t mind you!” Xia Hongyao laughed innocently, like a silly dog.

She was telling the truth. She even hoped that Lin Baici could really attract God’s Ruins so that they could explore more together.

Oh!

Should I move in with Xiaolinzi?

If I hadn’t taken on a mission at the last minute, I would have definitely missed this God’s Ruin.

Gu Qingqiu stood in the crowd, watching as Lin Baici talked to Xia Hongyao while effortlessly killing the mummies. It seemed as if he was on an outing.

Those terrifying mummies, like wild dogs, were easily cut into two pieces or had their heads smashed by his sword. This level of combat power was beyond that of a divine hunter.

“No wonder he was able to shoot a crazy dog from dozens of meters away during the military training performance. I just don’t know how long he has been a divine hunter,” Gu Qingqiu’s mind was filled with various thoughts.

She knew that she shouldn’t be daydreaming right now and should be vigilant against the mummies, but she couldn’t control herself. She was so curious about Lin Baici, the first time she had ever felt such a strong attraction from a boy. It had nothing to do with love, just pure curiosity.

It was like a child seeing an ant nest and wanting to dig it open to see how big it was, or seeing stars and wanting to know what was above them.

After futilely attacking, the mummies retreated.

Xia Hongyao was ultimately alone and couldn’t protect everyone. A few unlucky people were captured. “Sister Hongyao!”

Hua Yueyu greeted her. “Little Fish, you’re here too?”

After Xia Hongyao finished speaking, she saw a woman dressed like a member of a Korean girl group walking towards Lin Baici, sizing her up. Damn, this must be the legendary open-chest sweater, right?

Just looking at it makes my heart race, not to mention a man. High ponytail was overjoyed.

I’ve learned! I’ve learned!

Haha, Xiaolinzi, just wait for my beauty trap! “Sister, hello!”

Jin Yingzhen greeted proactively. “Hello!”

When Xia Hongyao heard the tone of this girl’s voice and saw her bow slightly, she knew she was a Korean girl. No wonder she was dressed so provocatively.

By the way, wouldn’t those tight jeans be uncomfortable on the thighs and buttocks? And what about these boots, aren’t they suffocating?

Xia Hongyao was still wearing her usual sportswear, paired with a pair of sneakers, and her hair was still tied up in a high ponytail, exuding a sunny and lively aura.Hua Yueyu secretly compared Xia Hongyao to Jin Yingzhen and found that Xia Hongyao’s figure was slightly bigger, but she didn’t know how to dress. Sportswear couldn’t highlight her figure at all.

What a waste! It would be so good if it were me!

Hua Yueyu pouted, “If I had Xia Hongyao’s figure, I would wear low-cut outfits every day. Qingqiu, let me introduce you to her!”

Xia Hongyao waved towards Gu Qingqiu in the crowd, “This is Lin Baici, my deputy leader and good buddy!”

Gu Qingqiu walked over with a faint smile on her lips as she looked at Lin Baici, “Hello, I’m Gu Qingqiu!” “I’ve seen you before!”

Lin Baici smiled back, a few days ago at the Haijing Polytechnic Library, there was a chubby girl who lost her wireless earphones and blocked the library, not letting anyone leave.

This girl came forward and asked the chubby girl how much her earphones were worth, and directly gave her two hundred yuan to solve the problem.

In addition, she was quite beautiful herself, so Lin Baici was impressed by her. “Is that so?”

Gu Qingqiu thought to herself, I’ve seen you several times, and the video of you playing basketball is still on my phone. Ah!

Do you know that ever since that day, I have been getting up early to jog for a week, hoping to see you playing basketball, but you never appeared on the basketball court.

Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen looked at Gu Qingqiu and felt a sense of unease.

This girl had a pure temperament, wearing a chiffon dress and a shoulder-baring blouse, paired with a jacket and carrying a bag, giving off the appearance of a well-behaved girl.

Her skin was slightly pale, obviously due to a lack of exercise, but this actually gave her a delicate and weak beauty, just like Lin Daiyu.

I pity her at first sight. “In the library!”

Lin Baici remembered Zhu Qiunan, fortunately she wasn’t here, otherwise it would be lively.

“Xiaolin, let me tell you, Qingqiu is amazing. We just encountered a rule contamination, and she found the key point to purify it, and even obtained two identical divine blessings!”

Xia Hongyao also benefited from it and obtained a divine blessing.

“Sister Hongyao, I couldn’t have done it without your strength!”

Gu Qingqiu modestly replied, but there was still a hint of arrogance in her expression. Because this achievement was truly worth boasting about.

“Oppa is even more amazing. He has already broken two rule contaminations!” Jin Yingzhen thought that Lin Baici was the strongest.

“Two?”

Xia Hongyao was shocked, “This God’s Ruins has only just begun, and you have already cleared two divine taboo games?” Truly worthy of being my deputy leader!

Proud!

Gu Qingqiu looked at Lin Baici, her expression unchanged, but her heart was full of regret. Ah!

Why did I encounter Xia Hongyao instead of Lin Baici? I really want to see what it’s like when he purifies rule contaminations.

But it’s not too late, there should still be divine taboos in this God’s Ruins.

Gu Qingqiu was completely different from the others. She wasn’t afraid and didn’t have the urge to escape. “Why did you appear at the Provincial Museum?”

Lin Baici was curious and gestured for everyone to continue moving forward.

“There is a seven-day Ancient Egypt exhibition here, which attracts many visitors. My sister was worried that someone would cause trouble during this opportunity, so she asked me to keep an eye on it!”

Xia Hongyao explained.

As long as there are large-scale exhibitions or events in the city, the Security Bureau would send a few divine hunters to maintain order.

In case someone uses divine taboos to create rule contaminations, they can handle it in a timely manner. But basically, there are no such extreme people.

Xia Hongyao thought it was just routine work, but in reality, Xia Hongmian received intelligence and knew that the Lost Coast had come to Haijing.

If her sister knew, she would definitely want to participate, so Xia Hongmian sent her away. She just didn’t expect Lin Baici to also come to the museum.

“How much do you know about the divine?” Lin Baici asked in a low voice.

“I don’t have enough authority to access such information. My sister knows, but she never tells me. In short, she just tells me to run away when I see a divine!””Is it just going on like a headless fly?”

The salesperson interrupted, wanting to build a relationship through conversation and join Lin Baici’s small circle: “I feel like it’s a waste of energy!”

“You can find a place to hide!”

Xia Hongyao didn’t have the idea of being a cannon fodder, so she didn’t care at all whether these people followed or not: “But in God’s Ruins, luck is important. Even if you hide, you may still encounter rule contamination!”

Lin Baici remembered the statue of the Buddha of merit in the Dragon Zen Temple. It was wandering around. Speaking of which, when the temple’s God’s Ruins were broken, he didn’t know where that thing went.

“There’s a situation!” Gu Qingqiu whispered.

She found bloodstains on the ground ahead, like the kind of minced meat left on the ground after a person was run over by a mud truck.

Everyone was shocked.

“There has been rule contamination here!”

Xia Hongyao kicked the headless human body murals on the ground with her foot. “Are these real people?”

Gu Qingqiu frowned. “Why are there no heads?” “Because their heads are on the giant stones!”

The salesperson spoke fluently and quickly explained with a few sentences, and then he didn’t forget to flatter Lin Baici: “Thanks to Lin Dashen, we can survive!”

The salesperson didn’t know if it was appropriate to call Lin Baici by his name directly, so he simply called him the same way as calling those skilled players and experts when playing games.

Although Xia Hongyao and Gu Qingqiu had not experienced this kind of rule contamination, when they looked at this corridor, which was more than a hundred meters long and covered with headless human body murals, they knew how cruel things had just happened here.

Those who survived because of Lin Baici finally realized his importance. Without him, everyone would have been completely wiped out.

After leaving this death zone, everyone walked for more than ten minutes and discovered a new situation. “Look, there are statues!”

Gu Qingqiu had very good eyesight and was very observant. She discovered the anomaly before Xia Hongyao.

Thirty meters ahead, there was a black statue that looked like it was carved from some precious stone material, emitting a dark glow.

Everyone walked over.

The statue was a female, about one meter fifty tall, with a pair of cat ears on her head and a black cat tail on her coccyx.

Coupled with the whiskers on her face, she looked like a walking cat person, vividly lifelike. “Could this be a real person?”

The salesperson’s scalp tingled.

“Be bolder and remove the ‘could’!”

Xia Hongyao reached out to touch the statue, but Lin Baici grabbed her wrist.

[A cursed unlucky person turned into a cat person statue, and vital signs have disappeared. There is no need to panic. Touching it will not infect the curse.]

[Her internal organs are still in a flesh and blood state. If taken out now, they can be transplanted to others. Also, if you have any needs, you can take advantage of the situation and have a completely different experience.]

“Shouldn’t we stop going forward?” The girl with the hairpin was scared.

Many people had this thought and persuaded Lin Baici one after another. “It’s probably too late!”

After Lin Baici finished speaking, a soft female voice sounded. “Welcome to my kingdom!”

Everyone’s faces showed fear.

The girl with the hairpin looked at Lin Baici with pleading eyes. “Let’s run away quickly, okay?” “It’s too late!”

Xia Hongyao warned, “If you can hear this voice, it means that the rule contamination has already taken effect. If you try to escape now, you will definitely be punished!”

“If anyone doesn’t believe it, they can try!”

No one dared to try. Even if there wasn’t a cat person statue standing here, everyone wouldn’t dare to joke with their lives.

“It’s fortune, not calamity, that can’t be avoided. Let’s go!” Gu Qingqiu urged, her eyes filled with eagerness.

Everyone followed Lin Baici and walked forward cautiously. The number of cat person statues gradually increased, with both males and females, young and old.

“There are more than two hundred!” Hua Yueyu roughly counted.

With so many cat person statues standing here, it was like a jungle. After everyone passed through, they saw a huge stone platform.

On the stone platform, there was a golden balance made of gold, with delicate cat god patterns carved on it, each one exquisitely raised.

The entire balance shimmered with a golden light, dispelling some of the darkness. “Where is the monster?”

Gu Qingqiu looked around, her eyes filled with excitement.

Jin Yingzhen glanced at this girl and felt that she was crazy.

A black cat about one and a half feet long suddenly jumped onto the stone platform, walked elegantly with graceful steps, and settled down next to the golden balance.

It extended its cat claws and casually flicked the tray of the balance. The balance immediately moved up and down.

“I like knowledgeable people, so let’s answer some questions!” The black cat’s amber eyes, as if they could communicate, swept across everyone present. “Five questions, answer them all correctly, and you can leave this place.”

“Cough, what if we answer incorrectly?”Gu Qingqiu glanced at the cat-like statues, “Turned into these things?” Lin Baici was slightly surprised, this girl was quite bold!

From her behavior, it was not that she didn’t know the danger of the monster, but she simply didn’t care. [She was enjoying the thrill of walking on the edge of death!]

“If you answer incorrectly, you’ll stay here, listening to others’ answers!”

The black cat didn’t mention death, but everyone knew that if they turned into statues, they would definitely not survive. Thus, the atmosphere on the scene instantly became tense and oppressive.

“Is there anyone willing to step forward first and show off their extensive knowledge?” The black cat asked, fiddling with the scales.

No one spoke.

“If no one volunteers, then I’ll randomly select!”

The black cat’s little paw lifted, moving slowly from left to right, then suddenly stopped.

In the direction where the black cat’s paw pointed, there were more than twenty people. Seeing this, their faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly moved aside.

“The male in the black top, please come forward to answer the question,” the black cat called out.

“Great God Lin!” The man in black looked at Lin Baici.

“Stop looking at Oppa and go answer the question!”

Jin Yingzhen urged, she was worried that this man’s actions would draw the black cat’s attention to Lin Baici, choosing him to answer the question, which would be troublesome.

“Good luck!”

Lin Baici had no information to offer, he was helpless to assist.

“Does this black cat like black? So it picks people in black clothes first?” Gu Qingqiu reasoned.

Upon hearing this, people around immediately looked down at their clothes. A few people wearing black jeans immediately started to take them off.

Better safe than sorry. “First question!”

The black cat nestled next to the scales, stretched out its little paw and flicked it: “How many cats are there around me?” Everyone immediately looked around, intending to count, but they didn’t see a single cat!

“Am I blind? There are no cats here, right?” Hua Yueyu rubbed her eyes. “So, zero?”

The girl with the hairpin sounded very unsure. “It can’t be that simple, can it?”

The salesman felt that there must be a trap in this question: “Could it be a brain teaser?” “If it asked how many fish there are, I could definitely count, but cats, I’m not good at that!”

The middle-aged man who liked fishing scratched his scalp.

It felt like the end was near!
