"No need to explain, whatever you do, we trust you!"

Gu Qingqiu felt that Lin Baici was too kind-hearted and soft-hearted. Regardless of whether there were justifiable reasons, he could do whatever he wanted.

With the support of immense strength, all rights to explanation belonged to Lin Baici. Look at Wang Sen and Chestnut medal, they both had to carefully flatter him.

In God’s ruins, Lin Baici had the qualifications to be a tyrant if he wanted.

But then again, Xia Hongyao and himself followed Lin Baici precisely because of his kindness.

"Mm, mm!"

Hua Yue Yu and Kim Myungjin nodded quickly.

"God Lin, what have you discovered, please tell us?"

Wang Sen urged.

After observing what Lin Baici did, he roughly guessed it but wanted further confirmation due to the risk to life.

"Does everyone need to take seven bamboo scrolls from this furnace?"

Wang Helin interrupted, his gaze swept over Xia Hongyao.

He knew Xia Hongyao trusted Lin Baici a lot, often boasting about him in the WeChat group, taking pride in him. He just didn’t expect Xia Hongyao to follow Lin Baici’s words to such an extent.

That was a flame that wouldn’t extinguish once touched. Anyone else would be extremely cautious, but with Lin Baici’s command to take bamboo scrolls, Xia Hongyao did it without the slightest hesitation.

What enviable friendship!

Although San Miyairi also did it, it was Xia Hongyao who acted first, proving the flame harmless, thus making it impossible to judge the depth of this Sakura girl’s feelings for Lin Baici. Probably...

Wang Helin looked at San Miyairi and found her gazing at Lin Baici with affection, almost drooling.

Alright!

Let’s correct that,

San Miyairi might also be willing to entrust her life to Lin Baici.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici nodded, striving to consider all details.

"Does it also require burning a person?"

Wang Sen pursued further.

Those observant enough noticed that after Lin Baici threw a man and a woman into the furnace, the flames extinguished for about a second each time. Thus, one can deduce...

To survive this pollution, one needs to obtain seven bamboo scrolls. However, the flame in the furnace won’t extinguish once touched, but it can be suppressed by throwing a person in.

Lin Baici remained silent.

Because the truth was too cruel.

This meant that to end this rule pollution, half of the people would die, and if someone couldn’t retrieve enough bamboo scrolls within a second, more lives would need to be sacrificed to buy time.

At least Hua Yue Yu, Lin Baici could be sure she wouldn’t be able to retrieve the scrolls in one second.

"Isn’t it, so say something?"

Chestnut medal urged.

Burn people?

Chestnut medal didn’t care; with his strength, no one could sacrifice him.

"Idiot!"

San Miyairi rolled her eyes. Isn’t it obvious?

The amateur’s faces turned very ugly, Wang Sen most likely spoke the truth, meaning if people were burned, they’d likely be the ones who’s unlucky.

"Little Linzi, if the bamboo scrolls in the furnace turn to ashes and a person doesn’t retrieve enough, will they die?"

Xia Hongyao focused on the glowing red furnace.

Time was running out.

Little Linzi hadn’t acted yet, clearly thinking of a way to save everyone.

San Miyairi was completely unflustered, this Snow Princess wasn’t some benevolent saint; if Lord Lin didn’t want to burn people, she’d bear that burden.

"There must be another way!"

"Right, don’t rush, think slowly!"

"What are you waiting for? The bamboo scrolls burn and everyone dies!"

"Then jump into the furnace and contribute for everyone’s sake!"

"Everyone stop arguing, trust God Lin!"

The amateurs chattered away, knowing their own worth, and to avoid becoming sacrificial victims, they could only flatter Lin Baici, trying to awaken his kindness.

"God Lin, what are you still hesitating for?"

Chestnut medal thought Lin Baici was too indecisive. Time was short, it was time to be ruthless when needed.

Don’t mention insignificant people, even friends could be sacrificed.

Chestnut medal was frustrated. If not for fearing Lin Baici, he would have acted long ago to catch someone and throw them into the furnace, then retrieve the scrolls.

Seeing Lin Baici still unmoved, he exchanged a glance with Wang Sen, the meaning unmistakable - let’s join forces!

Two Dragon Level powers combined, even if Lin Baici caused trouble, they could withstand it.

Wang Sen remained silent.

If possible, he’d avoid souring relations with Lin Baici.

One must think long-term; future rule pollution would likely rely on Lin Baici.

"If we’re burning people, can’t we burn those guests?"

Someone suggested, pointing towards the other side.

There were quite a few indigenous guests over there.

"Try them quickly!"

"Go ahead, there’s no other way!"

"Why don’t you lead the way?"

The amateurs talked about trying, but nobody acted, knowing it likely wouldn’t work.

This was rule pollution from the Qin Palace, it couldn’t be resolved just by throwing in an indigenous person, it would be too simple.

"What are you all looking at?"

Longxin Hou took a sip of wine, squinting his eyes: "Do you want to die?"

Everyone was shocked, quickly diverting their gaze.

"You have no choice; either be thrown into the furnace or rush over to catch a guest and burn them."

Wang Sen thought of a plan; once someone went over and was killed by a guest, he could retrieve the corpse and throw it into the furnace.

If that worked, it would avoid conflict with Lin Baici.

A male employee from the Security Bureau knew he wasn’t strong enough, unable to beat even other amateurs, let alone Chestnut medal, so he gritted his teeth and rushed towards a weak-looking guest on the other side.
