"What is pollution?"
"As everyone knows, it occurs because the Heavenly Dao becomes unstable and develops a warped personality, which then causes pollution."
"Pollution is unpredictable."
"Unpredictable events, times, places... all of these can lead to pollution."
Zhao Haili stood on the platform, pacing back and forth with a black pointer in her hand.
"It cannot be controlled or predicted..."
"No one can say for certain what causes pollution. Someone might lose their entire family and still remain unaffected, while someone else might simply get bullied that day and become polluted the very next second."
Everyone fell silent.

Although the Heart of the Order Keeper was established later, there were too many criminals to manage properly, so the authorities often turned a blind eye.
