Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"What's going on?" Quan Zhengchu heard the complaints of other passengers who were woken up by sudden braking. He frowned and asked the driver with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

The driver's face turned pale. He turned around and forced a smile at everyone. His voice was trembling slightly. "There was a problem with the car. I called a mechanic. It will be fixed in about ten minutes."

His tone sounded relatively calm, but Quan Zhengchu noticed that the driver's legs were trembling slightly, as if he was trying hard to hide something.

"Then can we go down and get some fresh air? It's so stuffy in the car." Just as Quan Zhengchu was about to speak, a middle-aged man next to him spoke first, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

The driver nodded, his smile still forced. “Sure. But don’t go too far. I’ll honk when the car is fixed.”

Quan Zhengchu didn't say much, but the uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

He silently followed the other passengers out of the bus, but his pace was a little slower than usual, and he gradually fell to the back of the crowd.

The Guangming Street area is remote and quiet, with only the rustling of wind through the grass.

The road was empty, with no other vehicles in sight.

“Something’s wrong…” Quan Zhengchu murmured in a low voice, looking around.

Suddenly, there was a roar of an engine in the distance, low and rapid, like the growl of a wild beast.

Quan Zhengchu looked up suddenly and saw several black SUVs speeding towards him.

Several black SUVs came to a sudden stop in front of him, and the friction between their tires and the ground made a harsh sound.

The car door was pushed open suddenly, and several men in black windbreakers got out quickly. Their movements were clean and neat, obviously they were well-trained.

They didn't give Quan Zhengchu any chance to react. They just held his arms and stuffed him into the car like dragging a piece of cargo.

The passengers around were stunned, as if they had pressed the pause button on this scene.

Some people opened their mouths wide, while others subconsciously took a few steps back, their eyes full of shock and confusion.

These days, they have heard a lot of news about the trafficking of women and children, but the kidnapping of an adult man in broad daylight is simply unheard of.

"Okay, everyone get on the bus." The bus driver let out a long sigh. The tension on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a sense of relief.

He waved his hand, signaling the passengers to get back on the bus.

"Um... don't we need to call the police?" A female college student took out her cell phone tremblingly, with shock still lingering on her face and a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

The driver waved his hand and explained in a relaxed tone: "He is an official. He just sent me a message through our company's internal system, saying that there is a fugitive in my car and asked me to find a way to stop the car and cooperate. Don't worry about it."

After hearing this explanation, the passengers suddenly realized what was going on and breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, discussions broke out in the carriage. Some people took out their mobile phones and couldn't wait to call their relatives and friends, and began to vividly describe today's "adventure".

"Guess what I encountered today? A fugitive! He was in the car I was riding in!"

"Is this true? Don't brag!"

"Why would I lie to you? That scene was like a movie!"

For ordinary people, the identity of a fugitive is too rare, and even brings an inexplicable sense of excitement.

As a result, this accident soon became a topic of conversation among them after dinner, and Quan Zhengchu's fate was completely changed at this moment.

"Um... brothers, I wonder what you can do for me?" Quan Zhengchu forced a smile and glanced around the car.

The several fully armed men in black around him had no expression on their faces, and the atmosphere in the car was so depressing that it was almost suffocating.

His smile froze on his face, beads of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead, and his back was already soaked with sweat.

"Li Erming, whose real name is Quan Zhengchu, is a professional swindler who specializes in trafficking young women who are inexperienced in the world. There is a small gang behind him that mainly engages in human trafficking." The man in black sitting in the passenger seat reported Quan Zhengchu's background coldly without even turning his head.

Quan Zhengchu's heart sank, and the smile on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a pale face. His lips trembled slightly, but he could not make any sound.

He didn't expect that his identity would be investigated so thoroughly, even the disguised name and the activities behind it were exposed.

Over the years, he thought he had acted secretly and had never left any loopholes, but it seemed like these people in front of him had already laid a tight net, waiting for him to fall into it.

"Brothers, this... this must be a misunderstanding." Quan Zhengchu tried to explain, but his voice trembled uncontrollably, like a candle swaying in the wind, which could go out at any time. "I am just an ordinary small businessman. How could I do such a thing? You must have recognized the wrong person..."

"Shut up." The man in black sitting next to him interrupted him coldly, his voice as piercing as ice.

The muzzle of the gun in his hand gently pressed against Quan Zhengchu's waist, and the cold touch made Quan Zhengchu stiffen all over.

Quan Zhengchu immediately fell silent, not daring to make any sound.

His brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to escape, but the situation before him was clearly beyond his control.

These men in black were obviously not ordinary law enforcers. Their actions were decisive and their methods were ruthless, leaving him no room to maneuver.

The SUV was speeding on the road, the scenery outside the window was rapidly receding, and Quan Zhengchu's heart was sinking with the speed of the car.

He didn't know where these people were taking him, let alone what was waiting for him.

About half an hour later, the SUV drove into an abandoned factory.

The iron gate outside the factory was rusty, as if no one had set foot in it for many years.

The wheels rolled over the gravel and weeds on the ground, making a teeth-grinding friction sound.

The lights in the factory were dim. A few rickety chandeliers emitted a faint light, illuminating the mottled walls and piles of abandoned machinery around.

Quan Zhengchu was roughly dragged out of the car and pushed into the factory.

His hands were tied behind his back, his wrists were so tight that they hurt, and he staggered as he walked, almost being dragged forward.

After entering the factory, a woman in secretary clothes was sitting on a chair and swiping her mobile phone, seemingly contacting someone.

"Boss, the person is here." The man in black who was escorting Quan Zhengchu said respectfully, with a hint of awe in his tone.

Kong Que nodded, his eyes fell on Quan Zhengchu: "Are you sure the person is correct?"

"Well, that's him."

Quan Zhengchu swallowed, his throat felt dry as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper.

He forced a smile, but the muscles on his face were so stiff that they seemed frozen, and his voice was trembling and almost out of tune: "Miss, are we...are we having any misunderstanding? I don't know you at all...did you find the wrong person?"

"Shut up." Peacock interrupted him coldly, with undisguised disgust in his tone.

She didn't want to listen to Quan Zhengchu's nonsense at all, so she took out a dagger from her waist. The blade gleamed coldly under the dim light.

Quan Zhengchu's body involuntarily shrank back, but he was held firmly down by the man in black behind him, unable to move.

His voice became sharp and panicked: "Wait! Please listen to my explanation! I really-"

Before he finished his words, Peacock took a step forward and stabbed the dagger in his hand into Quan Zhengchu's mouth.

The blade stirred fiercely in his mouth, and blood gushed out instantly, staining his chin and collar red.

Quan Zhengchu let out a heart-wrenching scream, but the dagger blocked his throat and turned it into an indistinct whimper.

Peacock pulled out the dagger, and blood dripped down the blade to the ground, making a slight "tick-tick" sound.

Quan Zhengchu's tongue had been crushed into pieces, his body was shaking violently, and the fear and despair in his eyes almost overflowed.

He fell to his knees with a look of horror on his face, spitting out a pile of minced meat.

He never expected that the woman in front of him would be so cruel and didn't even give him a chance to explain himself.

You know, Peacock is a fourth-level contractor in the Samsara Paradise. He has experienced countless life-and-death battles and his hands are covered in blood.

For a scum like Quan Zhengchu, if Lin Yi and Su Xiao had not specifically asked for him to be kept alive, she would have buried him alive with her own hands and would not have given him the chance to talk nonsense here.

"Hello, Doctor, the person has been caught and is now in an abandoned factory outside the city. Do you need me to help you send him over?" Peacock dialed Lin Yi's number with a hint of respect in his tone.

"No need? You have to come over by yourselves. Okay, okay, got it. Our people will be waiting here." After hanging up the phone, Peacock showed a relaxed smile on his face.

Last time, due to her mistake, the relationship between the Scavenger Organization and Lin Yi and Su Xiao became estranged. This incident not only caused the organization to suffer losses, but also caused Peacock to be severely punished by his superiors.

Lin Yi and Su Xiao are now famous in the Samsara Paradise. Even if the Scavenger Organization cannot win over the two, they definitely do not want to be their enemy.

This time, as soon as Lin Yi called, Peacock immediately mobilized all his forces and intercepted Quan Zhengchu in the city with almost lightning speed, not giving him even a chance to escape.

In the abandoned factory, Quan Zhengchu knelt on the ground with blood pouring from his mouth. The severe pain made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

His hands were tied behind his back, his wrists were purple from being tied, and his body was shaking constantly with fear and pain, like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation.

"A scum like you makes me feel sick even breathing." Peacock looked at Quan Zhengchu coldly, with undisguised disgust in his tone.

She kicked Quan Zhengchu's shoulder with her foot, not too hard or too light, but enough to make him fall to the ground in a mess.

"Just stay still and don't try to play any tricks."

Quan Zhengchu curled up on the ground, making indistinct groans from his throat, like a wild beast with its vocal cords cut, unable to utter a single word.

The atmosphere in the factory was so depressing that it was suffocating. Only the painful gasps of Quan Zhengchu and the "tapping" sound of her peacock high heels on the ground echoed in the empty factory. Each sound was like a death knell striking in Quan Zhengchu's heart.

About ten minutes later, the roar of an engine came from outside the factory, breaking the silence, followed by the sound of a car door closing.

Peacock raised his head, a smile on his face: "The real master is here."

The footsteps came closer and closer, and Lin Yi and Su Xiao appeared at the factory gate. Fatty Ma and Heipang followed behind them with a bit of uneasiness on their faces. It was obviously the first time they had encountered such a scene.

"He's here." Peacock pointed at Quan Zhengchu on the ground and said in a relaxed tone, "According to your request, he was left alive."

After seeing the four people clearly, Quan Zhengchu's pupils suddenly contracted and his body trembled violently with fear.

He tried to explain, but could only make inarticulate whimpers.

"Quan Zhengchu, right?" Lin Yi said coldly, "Next time you reincarnate, keep your eyes open and don't dare to offend anyone."

On the way here, he had received all the information about Quan Zhengchu and knew that this man was a complete scumbag and that the things he did were heinous.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Quan Zhengchu's sobbing became more intense, as if he was using all his strength to express his regret and beg for mercy. However, without a tongue, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and could only make intermittent hoarse sounds.

“What do you mean?” Lin Yi turned his head to look at Lidya Su, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

"Of course I'll give this guy a good beating." Fatty Ma gritted his teeth as he took over the conversation. The fat on his face trembled slightly with anger. "Damn it, he actually bullied my cousin. He must be tired of living!"

After saying that, Fatty Ma rushed forward and kicked Quan Zhengchu to the ground.

Quan Zhengchu rolled several times like a broken sack, blood splattered from his mouth, but he couldn't even scream.

"Leave it to me, you two go out." Su Xiao crossed his hands, and then several transparent filaments appeared in his hands.

After hearing Su Xiao's words, Fatty Ma and Heipang both left the factory, leaving Lin Yi alone, who found a chair to watch Su Xiao's performance.

It has to be said that as a killer, Su Xiao really understands the pain limits of various parts of the human body.

In Su Xiao's hands, Quan Zhengchu truly experienced what the eighteen levels of hell were.

Inside the factory, his screams echoed intermittently in the empty factory building, mixed with indescribable pain and despair, as if they were wails coming from the depths of hell.

The transparent filaments in Su Xiao's hands were like poisonous snakes, entwined around Quan Zhengchu's joints, muscles, and nerves. Each filament precisely stimulated his limit of pain, as if playing a symphony of death.

Quan Zhengchu's body twitched uncontrollably, and sweat mixed with blood soaked through his clothes, forming a pool of dark red water on the ground.

His eyes were wide open, his pupils filled with fear and regret, as if he was silently praying that all this would end as soon as possible.

Su Xiao's fingers lightly picked up the thread, and the thin thread trembled slightly. Quan Zhengchu's scream instantly rose an octave, and then stopped abruptly, as if even the strength to scream had been drained away.

"You know what?" Su Xiao said calmly, his tone as calm as if he was chatting, "The pain nerves in the human body are actually very interesting. They can withstand pain far beyond your imagination, but they won't let you pass out easily. This is to protect humans, but for you, it's a torture."

A gurgling sound came from Quan Zhengchu's throat, as if he wanted to say something, perhaps begging for mercy, or perhaps confessing.

But Su Xiao did not give him a chance. The thin thread gently picked up again, and Quan Zhengchu's body suddenly stiffened, and then collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, depriving him of even the last bit of strength to struggle.

Lin Yi sat on a chair nearby, legs crossed, in a relaxed posture as if he was enjoying a carefully choreographed performance.

"Where did you learn this technique?"

Su Xiao did not look back, the transparent filament in his hand still wandered on Quan Zhengchu's body, as if completing the final finishing work: "You will know after using it more."

Hearing Su Xiao's answer, the scavenger members who were responsible for guarding the factory couldn't help but shudder, and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

Their eyes unconsciously avoided Su Xiao's direction, as if looking at him any longer would bring unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, they finally understood how big the gap was between themselves and the high-level contractors - not only the gap in strength, but also the disparity in mentality and ruthlessness.

At the very least, they certainly wouldn't be able to chat and laugh like Lin Yi after witnessing such a scene.

Inside the factory, Su Xiao stopped what he was doing.

Quan Zhengchu's body completely collapsed, and he fell to the ground like a puddle of mud, without even the strength to twitch.

His pupils lost focus, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body, leaving only an empty shell.

"Almost done." Lidya Su put away the filaments and turned to look at Lin Yi, "What should we do next?"

Lin Yi stood up, walked up to Quan Zhengchu and glanced at him: "This kind of scum is a waste of air if he lives. Let's kill him."

Su Xiao nodded and unsheathed the long sword in his hand.

The knife flashed, Quan Zhengchu's body trembled, and then it completely stopped.

His eyes were still unfocused, but the last glimmer of light in his pupils was extinguished.

"Clean it up." Lin Yi gave an indifferent instruction, then turned and left the factory.

Su Xiao put away his sword and glanced at Quan Zhengchu's body without any fluctuation in his eyes.

He turned around and followed Lin Yi's footsteps, and the two of them gradually disappeared into the night.

Outside the factory, Fatty Ma and Heipang saw the two men coming out and hurriedly went to greet them, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation on their faces.

Fatty Ma rubbed his hands and asked cautiously, "Is it solved?"

"Solved. You should be more careful next time and don't let Xiaoling come into contact with this kind of people again."

Fatty Ma nodded quickly, with a hint of fear and self-blame in his tone: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her and will never let her encounter this kind of danger again."

Heipang also patted his chest and said in a loud voice: "With us here, no one dares to bully her! If anyone dares to touch her, I will be the first to say no!"

At seven o'clock the next morning, the streets gradually became lively. The fried noodles from the breakfast stalls exuded an enticing burnt aroma, accompanied by the shouts of the vendors, awakening the vitality of the entire city.

Fatty Ma's cousin Xiaoling had no idea what happened last night. She only knew that after Fatty Ma came back, he told her seriously not to contact Quan Zhengchu anymore, saying that this person's identity was questionable.

Although Xiaoling was a little confused, she was very obedient and did not ask any more questions. She directly deleted Quan Zhengchu's contact information, as if this person had never appeared in her life.

At the same time, Lin Yi was sitting in Lidya Su’s jewelry store, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, his eyes fixed on the black eyeball on the table.

The two had been studying these eyeballs since last night, but no matter what they did, the two eyeballs did not react at all, as if they were just two ordinary glass beads.

Just as the two were guessing the origin of this thing, the shop door was pushed open and a crisp sound of wind chimes was heard.

A girl in a dress walked in with brisk steps and a hint of curiosity and anticipation on her face.

Lin Yi recognized this girl instantly after seeing her. After all, she was the only one who could harass Su Xiao for so long without getting into trouble.

Seeing Li Murui, Su Xiao suddenly remembered something and picked up a black eyeball from in front of him.

"then."

Su Xiao threw the black eyeball towards Li Murui. Although Li Murui was a new contractor, after the baptism of the Reincarnation Paradise, her reaction speed was not slow. She immediately reached out and caught the black eyeball.

“What is this? It looks weird.”

Li Murui raised her dark eyeballs in front of her and looked at them curiously, but soon her face began to turn blue and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"help me…"

Li Murui's voice seemed distant, and a strange wave enveloped her.

Nourishing ~
The metal wire popped out from Su Xiao's cuffs, wrapped around the eyeball, and pulled it away from Li Murui's hand.

Li Murui seemed to have lost all her strength. She knelt down on the ground with a plop, breathing heavily. Sweat dripped down her white chin, wetting the ground.

"Interesting. You should choose the right dish based on the person you are dealing with?" When Lin Yi saw Li Murui's reaction, a hint of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, as if he had discovered something interesting.

He walked to Li Murui, squatted down, and asked with a hint of curiosity: "What did you feel just now?"

Lin Yi patted Li Murui's cheek. His action was not gentle, but the strength was just right to prevent her from fainting.

Li Murui rested for a few minutes before she recovered. Looking at her expression, she might burst into tears at any time.

"I... I see a lot of eyes." Li Murui glanced at the black eyeball with lingering fear, her voice trembling almost out of tune, "What is this? Am I cursed? Master, you can't harm me..."

"I'm not your master, nor your father. As for the origin of this thing," Su Xiao glanced at Li Murui and continued with a smile, "It's just an ordinary item brought out from the fourth-level world. There shouldn't be any risk."

Li Murui widened her eyes, looking unconvinced: "I am of a low rank, don't lie to me..."

"Go on and tell me what you just saw."

"I saw……"

Li Murui frowned, as if recalling something horrible, and whispered: "I saw... a lot of eyeballs, and a lot of people. They were all sitting on very high seats, and there was a huge golden eye in the center... That's all."

"Eyeballs, many people, huge eyes..." Lin Yi stroked his chin and repeated Li Murui's words thoughtfully, and then made a reasonable deduction based on her description, "Could it be an ancient god?"

Su Xiao shook his head, because he did not sense any breath of the ancient god from these two eyeballs.

"Bubu, try it."

Bubuwang was also very curious about the black eyeball. He stretched out his paw and pressed on the black eyeball, and Bubuwang shivered.

"What did you see?"

"Woof~" Bubu Wang shook his head, indicating that he didn't see anything, but just had a very bad feeling.

"Am, come here." Su Xiao looked at Am beside him again.

Am also stepped forward, and after it touched the black eyeball, it just shivered, and nothing happened.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi and Su Xiao looked at Li Murui at the same time. After being stared at by the two, Li Murui couldn't help but shiver.

"Well... my mother seems to be pregnant. I have to go back quickly." Li Murui gave a very forced smile and her body moved involuntarily towards the door, trying to escape from this place of trouble.

“Go back to the Samsara Paradise and I’ll give you a dark purple main weapon.” Lin Yi spoke with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Li Murui stopped in her tracks instantly. She turned around abruptly, her eyes shining as if she had seen a treasure: "My mother suddenly had a miscarriage, so I don't need to go back! Tell me what you need me to do, I can guarantee it will be done!"

In front of the dark purple main weapon, things like danger can be put aside.

Li Murui abandoned her moral principles without hesitation and approached Lin Yi, her face full of anticipation.

five minutes later.

"No! I regret it, ahhh, NO..." Li Murui's voice was filled with tears, and her whole body collapsed on the ground, looking exhausted.

Ignoring the already exhausted Li Murui, Su Xiao and Lin Yi continued to torment the black eyeball, but there was still no response.

At this moment, Li Murui finally recovered from her exhausted state and looked at the two people with resentment: "You are murdering me! Murder! I was almost scared to death just now!"

Lin Yi patted her shoulder with a smile, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, you are still alive, right? Besides, didn't we promise to give you a dark purple main weapon? This is a big win for you."

Li Murui curled her lips. Although she was still a little scared, she felt much better when she thought of the dark purple main weapon: "Then you must keep your word!" (End of this chapter)
