Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Isewei Bonnie sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

"Tell me, what trouble is this time?" Isewell Bonnie hung Hank's pendant around her neck. Although Hank often scared Isewell Bonnie at that time, in the execution agency, the person who had the best relationship with Isewell Bonnie was actually the pervert Hank.

Perhaps it was because Hank also had a daughter, so he put all his feelings for his daughter on Bonnie Isabelle.

And Isaac Bonnie never experienced fatherly love since she was a child, otherwise she would not have to become a detective to make a living at the age of twelve.

Lin Yi sat on the sofa in the office of the head of the execution agency, his eyes swept between Issevi Bonnie and Reinhardt: "I need you to help me investigate someone - Senator Bell."

When Isaiah Bonnie heard the name, her expression changed slightly.

Various rumors about Congressman Bell flashed through her mind quickly - the most mysterious congressman in the parliament, who lived in seclusion all year round, rarely appeared in public, and even rarely attended banquets within the parliament.

There are countless rumors about him. Some say he is the behind-the-scenes manipulator of power, while others say he is the spokesperson for an ancient organization.

But no matter what, the existence of Congressman Bell remains a mystery.

"Senator Bell?" Reinhardt frowned even more tightly. "Dean Lin, why are you investigating him? He is a member of the parliament. Any action against him may cause unnecessary trouble and even put us in a passive position. The parliament will not sit idly by."

Lin Yi did not answer immediately, but took out a document from his arms and gently placed it on the table.

The cover of the document was printed with the Imperial Sanatorium logo and a red seal reading “Top Secret” in the lower right corner.

"This is the file of Patient No. 17 in our nursing home. Before he died, he mentioned that Senator Bell might have connections with the Phantom Forces and might even be their pawn."

Isaac Bonnie quickly flipped open the document, her eyes quickly scanning the scribbled words.

The document records in detail every word of Patient 17 before his death, especially the parts about Senator Bell, the Phantom, and the "Immortal King".

"The Immortal King..." Issevi Bonnie murmured in a low voice, with a hint of fear in her tone, "The source of the Phantom, an existence beyond our understanding. Once it awakens, the entire Phantom Continent will fall into endless darkness."

In fact, this sentence comes from a long-standing nursery rhyme, but Isaac Bonnie herself can't tell exactly when it started to be circulated.

All she knew was that ever since she could remember, this nursery rhyme had been imprinted in the memory of every citizen of the Phantom Continent like a curse.

Reinhardt's expression turned solemn. Lin Yi's words contained too much information for him to digest for a while.

After a moment, Reinhardt asked in a deep voice: "Dean Lin, are you sure about the authenticity of this file? If Senator Bell is really connected to the Phantom Force, then the seriousness of this matter is far beyond our imagination."

Senator Bell is a member of parliament after all, and although the Execution Service and the Imperial Sanatorium seem to be overbearing in the Zul Empire, in essence, it is just that Monarch Harold has delegated some power to the two of them.

This power may seem enormous, but in reality it is like walking on thin ice. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.

Once the parliament finds out that the execution agency and the Imperial Sanatorium dared to investigate them, I'm afraid all members of the parliament will be furious.

Those old foxes who usually appear to be righteous will never miss this opportunity to strike down dissidents.

What will happen then is anyone’s guess.

Maybe it will be a bloody political purge, or maybe it will be a silent transfer of power.

But no matter what, the execution organs and the Imperial Sanatorium will be the first to bear the brunt and become thorns in the eyes and flesh of the parliament.

Reinhardt's fingers tapped unconsciously on the table, the rhythm was chaotic, revealing his inner struggle.

He knew that Lin Yi's words were not groundless, but the risk of investigating the congressman was too great, high enough to doom all of them.

If they fail, not only will they die without a burial place, but the entire execution agency may be uprooted.

Those forces that were once suppressed by them will pounce on them like hungry wolves and tear them to pieces.

Reinhard himself really didn't care, and he had long since disregarded life and death.

But the execution agency was held up by Su Xiao with great difficulty. Reinhardt didn't care about his own life or death, but he would never let the execution agency be disbanded in his hands.

"Do you have any evidence?" Reinhardt asked in a deep voice. "After all, Senator Bell is a member of the parliament. Touching him is tantamount to challenging the authority of the entire parliament. Those old foxes will never sit idly by."

Lin Yi shook his head: "No, this is why I came to you."

Isewei Bonnie bit her lip, and several methods flashed through her mind quickly, but each of them came with huge risks.

Sneak into Senator Bell's residence? It's heavily guarded and difficult for strangers to get close.

Through connections within the parliament? But who can guarantee that those people won't betray them?
Every plan is like walking on a tightrope. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.

Reinhardt was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I will cooperate with you. But you must ensure that all members of the execution agency will not become your victims."

"Don't worry, Bai Ye doesn't want me to take you to die." After Lin Yi brought up Su Xiao's name, Bonnie and Reinhardt's expressions were obviously much more relaxed.

"Then take me to the sanatorium first. I've only heard about it before, but never seen it with my own eyes." After making the decision, Isaiah Bonnie's character was immediately exposed.

There was a hint of excitement in her tone. This little girl was fearless and very curious, otherwise she would not have chosen to be a detective.

Although this kind of personality makes her very successful in her detective career, it also makes her prone to getting into trouble.

In the past, with Su Xiao's support, even Monarch Harold would not easily target Isewei Bonnie.

Everyone knows that if you mess with Isaiah Bonnie, you are messing with that man.

This also allowed Isaiah Bonnie to run rampant in the imperial capital and have a great time.

Now that Su Xiao is gone, Isaiah Bonnie has naturally restrained her temper and acted much more cautiously.

But the appearance of Lin Yi ignited the suicidal fire in her heart again.

Lin Yi glanced at her and said, "A sanatorium is not a fun place."

Isewei Bonnie curled her lips: "Don't worry, I'm a professional detective and I know my limits."

Lin Yi didn't say anything else and turned towards the office door.

The moment he opened the door, the two guards at the door were still standing straight opposite the door, looking straight ahead, like two sculptures.

As members of a secret institution like the Imperial Sanatorium, they naturally knew that there were some things that were not suitable for them to hear.

In this place, knowing too much often means being one step closer to death.

They have long learned to remain silent when appropriate, or even disappear completely when necessary.

"Drive to the nursing home."

"Yes."

As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, the two guards immediately took action and quickly arranged a vehicle.

Isewei Bonnie and Reinhardt followed Lin Yi and walked out of the door of the execution center.

A black armored vehicle had stopped at the door, the door was open, and the driver stood respectfully by the side, waiting for the three people to get in the car.

Isewei Bonnie glanced at the car and couldn't help but muttered, "What a high-level treatment. Even an armored vehicle is used."

Reinhardt patted her shoulder gently and reminded her in a low voice: "Bonnie, don't talk nonsense."

Isewei Bonnie stuck out her tongue and made a face: "Got it, I'll pay attention."

The car door closed, the engine started, and the vehicle slowly drove out of the gate of the execution house and headed towards the Imperial Sanatorium.

Back at the Imperial Sanatorium, Lin Yi glanced at the two guards behind him and said, "You can go back now."

The two guards immediately saluted and turned away, their steps quick and steady without any delay, obviously they were accustomed to Lin Yi's orders.

Isewei Bonnie looked at their backs and couldn't help but whispered, "They are really well-trained."

Lin Yi ignored her sigh and walked straight to the elevator on the first floor.

The elevator door closed, and after Lin Yi swiped his ID card, he pressed a button marked "Special Isolation Area".

The elevator began to slowly descend, and Isaiah Bonnie felt a cold breath gradually spreading.

Isaac Bonnie's fingers unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, and various rumors about the special quarantine area flashed through her mind - the most dangerous criminals in the empire were imprisoned there, they either had terrifying awakening abilities, or held secrets that could subvert the empire. Everyone who was imprisoned in the special quarantine area had almost no chance of coming out alive.

The elevator door opened again, and a bone-chilling chill hit me in the face.

Isewei Bonnie subconsciously wrapped her clothes tightly and followed Lin Yi out of the elevator.

On both sides of the corridor are closed metal doors inlaid with thick explosion-proof glass, and the glass surface has a cold luster.

Through the glass, you can see the awakened people imprisoned inside.

They huddled in the corner, some whispering as if talking to themselves; some laughing wildly with a creepy madness in their laughter; others stared at the ceiling expressionlessly with empty eyes, as if their souls had been taken away long ago.

The lights from the corridor were projected onto the ground, lengthening the shadows of the three people.

As Isewei Bonnie's eyes swept across the rooms, an indescribable feeling of depression surged in her heart.

"Are these people... all awakened?" Isewei Bonnie asked in a low voice, with a hint of trembling in her voice.

Lin Yi nodded: "Yes, they are all imprisoned here because their abilities are out of control and threaten the safety of the empire. Some have gone crazy, while others are still struggling."

"Do they... still have a chance to get out?" she couldn't help but ask, with a hint of hope in her voice.

"Once they are locked up in the special isolation area, there is no possibility of getting out. This is not only their cage, but also their grave."

Isaac Bonnie's heart sank as her eyes fell on one of the rooms where a young girl was imprisoned.

The girl curled up in the corner, hugging her knees tightly with her hands, her eyes full of despair.

"Let's go, we don't have much time."

Under Lin Yi's guidance, Reinhardt and Issaweir Bonnie walked through the corridor and came to the ward where Patient No. 17 was located.

When the three of them arrived here, Lin Yi found that the outside of the ward had been sealed with a lot of tapes.

Outside the room, an old man in a white coat was standing there quietly, seemingly thinking about something.

"Dean."

After Lin Yi saw the old man, the memory in his mind instantly told him the old man's identity.

Herbert Abbott, the director of the Imperial Sanatorium, is rarely seen on weekdays. It is said that he has a relationship with the current monarch Harold. The specific relationship is unknown, but it is known that Harold trusts him very much.

"Oh, it's Dean Lin, and these two are..." Herbert looked at the two people behind Lin Yi.

"These two are from the execution agency. I specially invited them here to investigate the cause of death of Patient No. 17."

Herbert's gaze lingered on Lin Yi's face for a moment, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

After a moment, he nodded, with a hint of warning in his voice: "Is that so? In that case, don't run around after you let them in. You know this place well, what to do and what not to do."

Having said this, Herbert turned and prepared to leave.

At the moment when Herbert passed by Reinhardt and Bonnie, Isewei Bonnie felt as if a piece of ice was walking past her.

The chill emanating from her body made her shiver uncontrollably, as if even her blood was frozen.

Reinhardt closed his eyes. The moment Herbert passed by, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura. The feeling was like a human encountering a ferocious beast in the wilderness, which instinctively aroused a surge of adrenaline in his body.

As Herbert's figure disappeared behind the elevator door, the corridor returned to silence again.

Isewei Bonnie couldn't help but shudder and whispered, "What's wrong with that old man? The aura around him makes people feel very uncomfortable, just like... like a demon crawling out of hell."

Lin Yi did not answer, but walked to Ward 17 and tore off the seal: "Remember, don't touch anything you shouldn't touch, and don't ask any questions you shouldn't ask."

As he spoke, he pointed gently around.

Isaiah Bonnie looked where he pointed and noticed that the ceiling and walls of the corridor were covered with hidden surveillance equipment.

Lin Yi pushed open the door of the ward, and the light in the room was projected onto the ground, reflecting a patch of dried black blood.

Isewei Bonnie couldn't help but cover her nose and whispered, "This place... feels like hell."

Lin Yi walked into the room and his eyes fell on the bloodstains on the ground: "Patient No. 17 died suddenly here. He revealed some key information before he died, but before he could finish, he suddenly died."

Reinhardt squatted down and carefully examined the bloodstains on the ground.

His fingers lightly touched the bloodstains, and his brows furrowed slightly: "These bloodstains... don't look like ordinary blood. Their color and texture are a bit abnormal."

Isaiah Bonnie also came over: "Could it be some kind of toxin, or is it caused by the awakened person's ability getting out of control?"

Isewei Bonnie glanced around the room and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a bulge in the corner of the wall.

Her curiosity was aroused, and she walked over quickly and bent down to take a closer look.

Due to the light, she found that there seemed to be something drawn on the raised area, but due to the angle, she couldn't see clearly what it was.

Both Lin Yi and Reinhardt noticed Bonnie's actions, but neither of them stopped her.

As Bonnie adjusted the angle, a strange picture gradually emerged before her eyes - it was a pattern similar to an eyeball, with distorted lines around the pupil, as if staring at some indescribable existence.

The moment Isaiah Bonnie was stared at by that eyeball, her heart trembled violently.

Her breathing became rapid, the world before her eyes began to distort and deform, the light around her gradually dimmed, and was replaced by a bottomless darkness.

She felt like she was falling, surrounded by an indescribable sense of oppression, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching her in the darkness.

"What...is this?" Her voice echoed in the darkness, but there was no response.

Suddenly, a low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears, as if coming from a distant abyss: "What... did you see?"

Isaac Bonnie wanted to scream, but found that she couldn't make any sound.

Her consciousness seemed to be pulled by some invisible force, gradually sinking into deeper darkness.

Outside, Isaiah Bonnie's pupils were dilated, her face was as pale as paper, and her lips were trembling slightly, but she could not make any sound.

Her body stood stiffly in place, like a body without a soul, only her empty eyes were still staring ahead unconsciously.

Seeing this scene, a purification spell fell on Isaiah Bonnie's head.

With the help of purification, Issevi Bonnie's mental state finally returned to normal.

Her body trembled violently, as if she had woken up from a nightmare. She gasped for breath, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Bonnie's eyes gradually regained clarity, but there was still a hint of fear that was difficult to conceal.

"I...I just..."

Reinhardt quickly stepped forward and held her shoulders: "Bonnie, are you okay? What just happened?"

Isaiah Bonnie shook her head, trying to calm herself down.

Her eyes fell on the rune on the corner of the wall again, and there was a hint of fear in her voice: "That eyeball...it's looking at me. I felt like I was falling into darkness, with countless pairs of eyes looking at me...that feeling was too scary."

Just then, Isaac Bonnie felt her nose seemed a little hot.

She subconsciously raised her hand and touched it, and her fingertips touched a touch of warm liquid.

She looked down and found that blood had been flowing out of her nose at some point, dripping down her fingers onto the ground.

"I... I have a nosebleed?" There was a hint of panic in her voice, and she obviously didn't expect that she would be affected so seriously.

With Lin Yi's comfort, Isaiah Bonnie's mental state gradually stabilized.

Not long after, her body softened slightly and she fell into a deep sleep. It seemed that what happened just now was too much for Bonnie. (End of this chapter)
