Goldfish’s raspy voice dragged on for a long time, like the wail of an old person on the verge of death, sending chills down one’s spine.
Dorisan panicked. With the duo of the black brothers, Lin Baici and Jiuzhou Man Li Yintong paired up, she was left alone with Bath. If Bath decided to ally with the black brothers, whose flesh they would use was already obvious.
"Bath, I have healing Divine Grace!"
Dorisan flipped her long hair and cast a seductive glance at Bath.
Bath raised his eyebrows.
The atmosphere in the room grew tense.
"Yang, what do we do? Who do we partner with?"
Gently covering his mouth, Gan discussed with his brother: "I suggest we choose Lin Baici!"
Yang didn’t hesitate at all. Bath seemed smart, but it was Lin Baici who had discovered the key point in the first rule pollution incident they encountered. Also, when he was suffocating just now, it was Lin Baici who had risked approaching the fish tank and pulled him back.
After exchanging glances, the black brothers walked in unison to Lin Baici’s side.
"God Lin, our brothers request to join your team!"
Ashley Yang’s tone was sincere.
Lin Baici replied with a slight smile.
Dorisan was in a panic. Those black brothers were too despicable, directly giving in. They really were from a colonized place, accustomed to being slaves, willing to abandon all personal dignity.
Now the pressure was on her side.
Dorisan was very worried. Judging by the appearance of the Jiuzhou Man, he didn’t seem to like big women with large waists and hips. Someone like Yintong, with her fresh and clean look, seemed more to his taste.
While she was still pondering her next move, Bath had already made a choice: "God Lin, request to join the team!"
When Big Ocean Horse heard this, she was dumbfounded and blurted out, "What about me then?"
Bath was indifferent, as if he hadn’t heard her.
Letting Lin Baici decide whose flesh to use would definitely cement a cold and cruel image. Such a person couldn’t gain the loyalty of their subordinates, because anyone could be the next one to be abandoned.
Bad guy, let Lin Baici do it!
Bath wasn’t worried that Lin Baici would use his flesh because Bath could tell that the other man was wise. He would surely choose the one of least value to the team.
Dorisan, no escape now.
The black brothers also thought of this, and so their gazes landed on Dorisan.
"I curse your lungs!"
Li Yintong wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling lucky to be from Jiuzhou and Lin Baici’s compatriot. Otherwise, she’d have been chopped up and fed to the Goldfish by now.
What’s going on with these people? Why are they suddenly all begging to join the group?
Is Lin Baici’s ability really that strong?
"God Lin..." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Big Ocean Horse switched to a more respectful address, but before she could finish her sentence, Goldfish interjected.
Goldfish shouted, and the next second, Li Yintong began to suffocate. This time it was quick and ruthless; her face instantly turned red from the asphyxiation.
Lin Baici growled and quickly removed the White River Dolphin’s Tooth necklace from his right wrist, stuffing it into Yintong’s mouth.
As soon as the jujube-sized tooth entered her mouth, Yintong instantly felt a rush of air flow into her lungs, bringing her immense relief.
Yintong could breathe again. Although she was still in poor shape, she was definitely not going to suffocate to death.
Lin Baici’s eyes lit up. The Black Tripod Bowl and the Bodhi Messenger’s Cassock couldn’t be activated, so he thought other Taboo things were also restricted, but it now seemed that some could be used.
[Some Taboo things complement and counteract one another. The rule contamination caused by Goldfish is equivalent to throwing a person into the sea—suffocating by being deprived of oxygen. The White River Dolphin Tooth can help humans breathe underwater and thus is the natural enemy of this Goldfish!]
"What creature’s tooth is this?"
Bath asked, curious, then commanded Tai Mei, "You go outside now!"
If Li Yintong came to no harm, then everyone could use this tooth necklace to escape the room.
Yintong ignored Bath.
Bath wasn’t discouraged and ordered Dorisan: "You, go to the windowsill, feed the Goldfish!"
"Didn’t you hear it? That monster wants flesh!"
Big Ocean Horse ignored Bath, after all, he was the first to abandon her.
"God Lin, what should we do?"
The black brothers asked in unison, ready to follow any order like loyal henchmen.
Dorisan felt like she was about to face trouble, so she suggested, "God Lin, why don’t you let me test it out by taking this tooth outside?"
Given the choice between being chopped up to feed the fish or taking a risk, Dorisan preferred to gamble.
"Have you forgotten about the corpse in the next room?"
Lin Baici watched their behavior, gaining a deeper understanding of human nature.
Big Ocean Horse suddenly became excited: "But how do we get that corpse over here?"
Not having to be cut up was indeed great news.
"Aren’t there other people on this floor? Just call them, and have them throw the body in here!"
Lin Baici snorted, "If they don’t help, when we get out, we’ll kill them first!"
"Jilu, I know you’re nearby, hurry to room 9015 and bring that woman’s corpse over here!"
Big Ocean Horse shouted.
"Jilu, stop playing dead!"
Black brother Yang shouted, "If you don’t do it, we’ll consider you an enemy!"
"You needn’t worry, the rule contamination should be limited to this room only!"
Bath’s words sounded more pleasing compared to those of Dorisan and the black brothers.
Yintong quietly poked Lin Baici’s ribs, whispering, "I have Divine Grace that can drag that corpse over here!"
Lin Baici was in no rush and wanted first to see what the characters outside were like.
