Chapter 209 – Crime and Punishment!


The crowd showed their frustration and displeasure upon hearing Wang Hanxu splurging money. In their eyes, money could make the devil turn the millstone; this boy would surely succumb to such temptation, so Wang Hanxu was bound to secure a spot.

It was quite unbearable.

If it were a fair competition, no one would have complained, but why should money buy preferential treatment?

“Damn, being rich is so great, huh!”

Cao Lei cursed.

Wang Hanxu really wanted to say that being rich was indeed great, but at a time like this, survival was the priority, and he couldn’t afford to cause additional trouble, so he held back.

After all, in a few hours, these people would be dead, so there was no need to get angry with them.

Lin Baici looked at Wang Hanxu with a cold gaze.

Wang Hanxu was startled. What’s going on?

Was the money not enough?

Did he want to make an exorbitant demand?

But at this time, Wang Hanxu had no choice. He forced a flattering smile: “Lin God, we can still talk about the money!”

“This rule contamination started because of you. Don’t you plan to do something about it? Are you just preparing to leave alone?”

Lin Baici retorted.

“Lin God, this joke could kill people. How is this related to me?”

Wang Hanxu forced a smile, looking like a victim.

“Don’t you know what you’ve been doing these past few days?”

Xia Hongyao accused: “If you have any sense of responsibility and still remember these are your classmates, you should step forward and accept the punishment!”

“Wang Hanxu, it’s because of you that this happened. You need to find a solution!”

Cao Lei started to rant, not caring whether it was Wang Hanxu’s fault or not; he was desperate for a solution.

“Wang Hanxu, damn it, you made us suffer like this, just admit it!”

“Please, can you take the blame?”

Before the rule contamination began, everyone could still consider Wang Hanxu’s feelings and speak up for him, but after suffering through two rounds of Divine taboo games, they were genuinely scared.

Especially those students who had tasted enough pain and bore scars on their bodies, they didn’t care whether Wang Hanxu was the culprit or not; they just wanted him dead.

“It really has nothing to do with me!”

Wang Hanxu clenched his fists, wanting to fight, but he couldn’t gauge Lin Baici’s strength, and he still needed his help, so he could only endure.

“Can you hear me? Wang Hanxu is right here, if you have grievances, take them out on him, can you please not take it out on us?”

Liu Qing cried out.

After whispering with two of his close roommates, Cao Lei suddenly burst out of the crowd and lunged at Wang Hanxu.

“Beat him up!”

Cao Lei shouted.

Wang Hanxu wasn’t one to be easily captured; he started to fight back with his fists, and this kid, in an attempt to show off, had even learned Taekwondo. Although Cao Lei’s group outnumbered him, they didn’t have an overwhelming advantage and ended up fighting to a standstill.

“Let’s beat him up together!”

Cao Lei yelled, his face anxious.

“Damn it, I’ll see who dares to come up!”

Wang Hanxu grabbed a stool and swung it at Cao Lei’s head, going for the kill.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the third hit, Cao Lei’s head was struck, blood gushed out, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.

“Come on, I’ll kill you all!”

Wang Hanxu, holding the stool, glared with wide eyes, sweeping the entire room.

He alone managed to intimidate so many boys.

“Stop fighting, it might not be Wang Hanxu’s fault!”

Cui Ying stood up, trying to mediate.

“So you mean I’m wrong?”

Lin Baici stared at her, this girl was really love-struck.

“Uh…”

Cui Ying lowered her head, not daring to contradict Lin Baici.

“Lin God, I’ll give you money, I’ll give you face, what else do you want? Stop targeting me!”

Wang Hanxu pleaded with Lin Baici, holding back his rage.

【Punish him, and as long as the Gourmet God is satisfied, you can avoid rule contamination!】

Lin Baici’s mouth twitched, looking at the people in the tent.

“I’ll say it one last time, punish this Wang Hanxu, satisfy the Gourmet God, and you can avoid rule contamination!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Hanxu’s face turned green, but he was still rational, even though he was furious, he didn’t lash out at Lin Baici.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Baici called out to Xia Hongyao and Cai Wenqi, then looked at Liu Qing: “You follow too!”

“Thank you, Lin God! Thank you, Lin God!”

Liu Qing quickly trotted to Lin Baici’s side.

“Aren’t you helping them?”

Xia Hongyao sighed.

“I’ve already told them how to get through, what else should I do?”

Lin Baici couldn’t guarantee that he would always get through every rule contamination safely, even if he didn’t die, leaving some scars would be uncomfortable.

Moreover, although Cai Wenqi had impure motives, she had stayed, so he had to ensure she was brought out safely.

“Gourmet God, help me pick two more students with no issues in character!”

Lin Baici requested.

Rather than figuring out how to get through this Divine taboo game, it was better to go out and strike directly at the source, to kill that Gourmet God.

【At three o’clock, the girl with the red hairpin and the boy in the blue denim jacket!】

“Lin God, take me with you?”

“Please, I don’t want to die!”

“As long as I survive, I’ll do good deeds every day!”

The students surrounded Lin Baici, pleading desperately, trying to gild themselves.

“You, and you, follow me!”

Lin Baici chose the two people pointed out by the Gourmet God.

【Remind these people that if they leave this tent without completing the rule contamination, they will lose their organs!】

Lin Baici didn’t need to say it; the voice spoke directly.

“Without my permission, once you leave this tent, you will randomly lose parts of your organs.”

The Gourmet God’s words stopped everyone in their tracks, their faces filled with horror.

“In this tent, you can live without your organs, but once you leave, you will die immediately!”

“The third punishment game is called ‘Organ Cleansing’. A doctor will perform a live dissection on you, remove your organs, clean them with formalin, and then put them back into your stomach.”

“There will be no pain during the dissection, but there will be pain during the cleaning of the organs with formalin. The deeper your sins, the more intense the pain!”

Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale, and some of the more timid girls even collapsed to the ground, trembling.

To have their organs dissected?

Even if they survived, wouldn’t they be greatly weakened?

“I… I haven’t done anything sinful, can you spare me?”

Cui Ying pleaded.

“Whether you have or haven’t, you’ll find out when your organs are cleaned.”

The Gourmet God sneered: “But you like scum like Wang Hanxu and even defended him, that itself is a sin, so endure the pain!”

“Is it because of Wang Hanxu that we’re being punished?”

Pangzi Ming asked.

“Heh!”

The Gourmet God sneered, not admitting directly, but from the answer to Cui Ying’s question, these college students were pretty much certain.

The divine hunter was right; they were all being punished because of Wang Hanxu.

Damn it!

At this moment, everyone hated this guy to death.

Wang Hanxu’s face changed drastically.

“If we beat him up, can you spare us?”

Pangzi Ming asked in a low voice.

“If you had acted just now, I would have forgiven you. After all, I’m not some murderous demon, but now?”

The Gourmet God’s tone was icy: “It’s too late, your reactions disgust me!”

“Your organs must be cleaned!”

“Let the game begin!”

As the Gourmet God’s words fell, a thick white fog rose in the tent, and when the fog dissipated, the desks disappeared, replaced by a row of simple beds without bedding, just a name tag at the head and an IV stand with a bag of liquid next to it.

Between these beds were white curtains that could be pulled to block the view from the side, creating a separate small space.

Next to the bed was a small cabinet with a glass jar about half a meter tall and a foot in radius, filled with formalin.

Soon, the tent was filled with this uncomfortable smell.

One by one, surgeons in scrubs entered, their faces masked, revealing only a pair of cold, indifferent eyes.

“Get on the bed!”

“Wait for the dissection!”

The voice urged.

“One minute later, anyone not lying on the bed will lose their organs and die!”

This warning made everyone panic even more, all looking to Lin Baici.

“Hurry up and roll!”

The voice urged.

“You’re on your own!”

Lin Baici left, he had no interest in experiencing this ordeal.

Outside the tent, the fog was thick.

“Walk forward, don’t look back, or you’ll bear the consequences!”

The voice warned.

“Lin God!”

Cai Wenqi grabbed Lin Baici’s clothes, indeed, staying with him meant safety.

“Lin God, thank you!”

Liu Qing and the others were also hastily thanking him.

“That culprit should be nearby!”

Xia Hongyao looked around.

“You keep walking forward, and you should be able to get out!”

Lin Baici instructed.

“What are you doing?”

Cai Wenqi was scared; she just wanted to stay with Lin Baici.

“I’m going to catch the Gourmet God!”

After Lin Baici left the tent, he felt hunger, indicating that a Divine taboo was nearby. He discerned the direction and chased after it.

“Hurry up!”

Xia Hongyao urged, planning to send these four people away and then come back to help.

Inside the tent, the atmosphere was oppressive, especially when they saw the doctors standing in front of the beds, picking up scalpels, and looking at them with cold eyes. These college students were so frightened they nearly died on the spot.

“Damn it, what are we waiting for? Let’s do it!”

Pangzi Ming shouted and lunged at Wang Hanxu.

Although the voice had said that punishing Wang Hanxu wouldn’t grant immunity, the Gourmet God definitely hated Wang Hanxu, so maybe beating him up could earn some favor.

And even if it couldn’t, venting some anger was also good.

In short, even if I die, I have to send Wang Hanxu to hell first.

Many people followed suit, including several girls.

At this moment, even Cui Ying didn’t dare to speak up for Wang Hanxu.

“Damn it!”

Wang Hanxu’s stool disappeared, and he tried to take down an IV stand as a weapon, but before he could, Pangzi Ming was already upon him.

“With that energy, why don’t you hit that doctor?”

Wang Hanxu roared.

The brawl began.

No one was breaking it up, and with the fear of live dissection, they fought fiercely, knocking the beds askew.

A minute passed, and many people still hadn’t lain down on the beds, but the Gourmet God didn’t punish them because this was the effect he wanted.

To beat Wang Hanxu to death.

As the saying goes, even a hero can’t withstand a pack of wolves, and Wang Hanxu quickly succumbed, especially after a boy hit him on the head with an IV stand, leaving him dazed and completely defeated.

“Did you see that? We punished him!”

Led by Pangzi Ming, they punched and kicked Wang Hanxu mercilessly.

“Do you want to kill him?”

Cui Ying, still love-struck, mustered the courage to shout.

Everyone’s hands froze. Right, if they killed someone, they’d be executed!

Just as everyone was at a loss, a white fog filled the tent, like an anesthetic, causing everyone to pass out.

When Wang Hanxu woke up, he found himself lying on a cold, hard bed, with the doctor standing beside him, performing the dissection.

“Let me go!”

Wang Hanxu opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He struggled, but he couldn’t move at all, firmly fixed to the bed.

The doctor glanced at Wang Hanxu, indifferent.

A curtain hung over Wang Hanxu’s neck, preventing him from seeing the doctor’s actions, but he could feel the pain and hands stirring in his abdominal cavity.

Soon, the doctor removed a piece of liver and casually threw it into the glass jar.

Plop!

Some formalin splashed out, even some droplets landing on Wang Hanxu’s face.

He was completely numb, sweating profusely.

“You have a problem with this kidney, haven’t you been using it a lot?”

The doctor commented.

In each separated space behind the curtains, a live dissection was taking place. They wouldn’t die, but this experience was more terrifying than death itself.Some people couldn’t handle the shock and fainted, but they were quickly injected with adrenaline and forcibly awakened.

To let them watch with their own eyes as their organs were just removed and cleaned, to feel this pain, that was the true meaning of this rule contamination.

The organ thief’s goal wasn’t to kill, but to make them repent.

Lin Baici stopped in his tracks because he saw the organ thief.

It was a young man wearing jeans, a light blue hoodie, and his entire face was covered with a hat and a mask. He was extremely tall, at least 1.9 meters, but he looked rather thin.

He squatted on the ground, playing with an Ultraman toy missing an arm, likely discarded by some child.

“Why do you have the energy to track me when you could be punishing that bastard who bullied the girl?”

The man in the hoodie didn’t understand.

“It was consensual between them, and even if it resulted in an abortion, who am I to judge? At most, I can morally condemn him, but legally, he hasn’t committed a crime.”

Lin Baici explained.

“Well, I care!”

The man in the hoodie was annoyed.

“You, a thief who steals other people’s organs, what right do you have to be so self-righteous?”

Lin Baici countered, the other’s posture was like that of Batman.

“I steal organs from the dead!”

The man in the hoodie declared righteously: “Anyway, the corpses are going to be sent to the crematorium to be burned, what’s it to me?”

“Did you ask their families?”

Lin Baici couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity. “Honestly, if your family member died and after lying in the morgue for two days, you found their organs gone, leaving only a shriveled abdominal cavity, how would you feel?”

“…”

The man in the hoodie fell silent.

“Are you going to surrender, or shall I take action myself?”

Lin Baici drew his bronze sword.
