Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

"Sir, the atmosphere here... seems a bit oppressive." Xue Shi said casually, with a hint of tentativeness in his tone.

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Madam is indeed perceptive. The people imprisoned here are extremely dangerous people, and their auras are naturally different from those of ordinary people. If your brother is really imprisoned here, I'm afraid he has been implicated."

Xue Shi nodded and said nothing more.

She did not speak again, but simply glanced at the prisoners in the cell.

Most of the prisoners in the cell were huddled in the corner, dressed in tattered clothes. They had no reaction to Blood Eater's arrival, not even the inclination to look up.

After walking for a while, Xue Shi suddenly stopped. She raised her hand and pointed to the cell: "Sir, the prisoner in that cell... seems familiar."

Lin Yi looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a thin man curled up in the cell with his head lowered and his messy hair covering his face.

The man's clothes were tattered and his exposed skin was covered with scars, both new and old.

"Is this the Madam's younger brother?" Lin Yi asked with a hint of doubt in his tone.

Xue Shi shook his head and whispered, "I just think his figure is a bit like my brother. Sir, can you let me get closer to take a look?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly, seeming a little hesitant, but finally nodded: "Okay, but you have to be careful and don't get too close. This prisoner... is very dangerous."

Xue Shi walked slowly to the cell door, staring at the man.

Her fingers moved slightly, and an almost imperceptible black mist quietly flowed out from her fingertips, spreading towards the man silently like a poisonous snake.

Just as the black mist was about to touch the man, he suddenly moved, revealing a strange face.

"how"

Xue Shi clearly felt the breath of the Eye of Void on the other person's body, so why was it a stranger?

Before she could sort out her thoughts, the man suddenly raised his hand and threw a handful of blue powder at her.

The powder spread rapidly like star fragments, forming a light blue mist in an instant.

Xue Shi's reaction was extremely fast, and his body dodged backwards almost instinctively.

As soon as her skin touched the powder, she felt a biting chill, as if countless tiny ice needles were pricking her skin. The chill instantly penetrated into her bones, causing her movements to slow down for a moment.

"Not good!" Xue Shi's heart trembled and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Damn it, do you know who I am?"

Blood Eater is not a fool. She has devoured the memories of countless humans and experienced countless conspiracies and betrayals. Even the dumbest pig should understand that he has fallen into a carefully designed trap.

It was obvious that he had been caught in a trap by the other party, but he was still foolish enough to fall into the trap.

Xue Shi looked down at the arm that had just touched the blue powder and found that the arm that had touched the blue powder was withering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She could clearly feel that the vitality in this body was being devoured by the powder at a very fast rate, and even her strength was being lost.

"The methods used by your execution agency are truly vicious." Xue Shi's voice was icy cold and filled with endless murderous intent.

Lin Yi stood not far away and took two steps back. At the same time, all the cell doors in the prison opened with a "click" at the same time. The dull sound of metal friction echoed in the empty corridor, which was particularly harsh.

This is not the heavy prison area of ​​the execution agency at all, but just an ordinary cell area.

This was where the Black Crow merchant and the three-man team were imprisoned. Although the initial repair work did not take much effort, all the prisoners here had already been transferred out.

Now these vacant cells were being utilized by Lin Yi and Reinhardt, turning them into an elaborate prison net specifically designed to trap her.

"This 'Withering Poison' is specially prepared for you. It can quickly erode your flesh and energy. The more you struggle, the stronger its effect will be."

Seeing his arm withering faster and faster, Xue Shi realized that what Lin Yi said was not a lie. This body was rapidly collapsing, and his vitality was draining away bit by bit like sand in an hourglass.

The next second, her body began to tremble, and countless black cracks appeared on the surface of her skin, like a piece of porcelain about to break.

These cracks spread rapidly and covered her entire body in the blink of an eye.

Then, her body completely collapsed within a second, turning into a thick black mist and dissipating into the air.

However, the black fog did not dissipate. Instead, it condensed in the air and gradually formed a vague human-shaped outline.

In the black fog, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened, exuding a heart-pounding murderous intent.

……

After seeing Blood Devourer's ability, Lin Yi couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

To be honest, Bloodsucker's abilities were indeed extremely strange, especially those skills related to spirit and memory, which were almost impossible to guard against.

No wonder it was able to sneak into the Zul Empire quietly without anyone even noticing.

This ability is a nightmare to ordinary awakeners - once they are hit, they may even forget their own last name.

But Lin Yi was not afraid. He had the purification skill in his hands, which made Xue Shi's strange abilities mostly useless in front of him.

Whether it's mind control or memory erosion, in the face of purification, they are nothing but futile tricks.

Originally, Lin Yi asked Reinhardt to send out a number of awakened people just to be on the safe side, but now it seems that these preparations are completely unnecessary.

The black fog spread rapidly like a living thing, transforming into countless tiny black tentacles that swept towards the surrounding awakened people like a spider web.

Before the awakened ones around could react, they were touched by the black fog. Their eyes became empty in an instant, and the weapons in their hands turned and aimed at Lin Yi.

Obviously, Blood Eater has turned them all into his puppets and made them sharp blades in his hands.

"Hehe, let me let you experience the feeling of becoming enemies." There was a hint of mockery in Xue Shi's voice, as if he was appreciating the desperate situation that Lin Yi was about to fall into.

Under Blood Eater's control, those awakened ones quickly surrounded Lin Yi.

Just as the Awakener was about to launch an attack, Lin Yi raised his hands and a soft ripple appeared on his palms.

The ripples spread quickly like ripples on the water, instantly covering the entire cell area.

Wherever the ripples passed, the eyes of the awakened ones gradually regained clarity.

[Successfully eliminated Raman Herman's abnormal state, talent 'Redeemer activated', permanently increased 30 health points, 15 points of abyss power. ]

[Successfully eliminated Ward Isidor's abnormal state, talent 'Redeemer activated', permanently increased 30 health points, 14 points of abyssal power, soul strength increased by 1. ]

"What am I doing..." An awakened person looked down at the weapon in his hand, a hint of doubt and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He clearly remembered that he was just about to attack Xue Shi, but how come in the blink of an eye, the enemy in front of him became Lin Yi?
His mind was in a mess, as if a memory had been erased.

Not only this awakened person, but other awakened people who had just regained consciousness also showed similar expressions.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and shock, as if they couldn't understand what had just happened.

"Are there any other means?"

Although the rank of group purification is not as high as purification, it is more than enough to remove the control of blood sucking.

"Impossible! How could you possibly break my mind control?"

Bloodthirster has tested the limits of his abilities many times. Even Dark Eclipse, the speaker of the Shadow Council, could not break his "mind control" in such a short time.

Although Dark Corruption's attributes are much higher than Blood Devourer's, Blood Devourer cannot pose a substantial threat to him, but at least it can escape unscathed from Dark Corruption and eventually win a seat in the Shadow Council.

No matter who stands in Lin Yi's position today, facing the control ability of Blood Devourer, they will inevitably pay a huge price, and may not even be able to keep it at all.

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" The black mist around Blood Eater surged again. This time, when it invaded the bodies of the awakened people around him, it not only corroded their minds, but also deliberately disturbed their spirits, trying to make these awakened people fall into complete chaos, or even kill each other.

As Lin Yi raised his hand, the Blood Devouring skill was dispelled once again.

Lin Yi looked at Blood Devourer and ordered the awakened ones around him: "Go ahead, remember to come alive."

The awakened people around heard Lin Yi's order and quickly took out specially made rope nets from their pockets.

These rope nets may look inconspicuous, even crude, but their origins are extraordinary - this is one of the relics, known as a "pocket".

The effect of the "pocket" is simple and crude, but extremely effective: it can prevent any energy creatures from escaping from the rope net.

For demons like Blood Eater, this is undoubtedly a natural enemy.

When Reinhardt and Lin Yi entered the basement, they directly took out all the "pockets" in stock. Unexpectedly, they came in handy this time.

"Impossible! My ability is invincible! No one can break my control! No one!"

In the past, Blood Devouring's ability could be said to be invincible.

Whether it is an ordinary awakener or other powerful people in the Shadow Council, they cannot easily break its "mind control".

Even the top few in the Shadow Council were immune to its skills only by relying on their own super high attributes, and this was the first time that Blood Devourer had encountered someone like Lin Yi who forcibly removed its control ability.

"Memory stripping."

There was a murderous intent in Xue Shi's voice. It raised its right hand made of black mist and pointed it at Lin Yi.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in its eyes, and it tried to completely erase Lin Yi's memory, turning him into a mindless puppet.

In this way, no one can threaten its position.

But when the blood-sucking attack landed on Lin Yi, it was like a drop in the ocean, without causing the slightest reaction.

Lin Yi still stood there, his expression calm, even with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Xue Shi was stunned, and a hint of disbelief flashed in his scarlet eyes.

It couldn't understand why its "memory stripping" had no effect on Lin Yi.

Xue Shi raised his hand, and another "memory stripping" shot towards Lin Yi.

The result this time remained unchanged, Lin Yi even yawned lazily.

To put it bluntly, "memory stripping" is still a soul attack, but with Lin Yi's current soul strength, Blood Eater's attack is like an ant trying to shake a tree, and it cannot cause any effect on him at all.

At the moment when Xue Shi was stunned, seven or eight rope nets fell from the sky and directly covered its head.

The moment these rope nets touched the edge of the Blood-Sucking Black Mist, they seemed to form an invisible film, sealing Blood-Sucking's figure firmly in the rope nets.

No matter how Blood Devour struggled or how the black fog churned, it could not break free from this bondage.

"What the hell is this thing?! Let me go!" There was a hint of fear in Blood Eater's voice. It tried to corrode the rope nets with black mist, but the rope nets did not move at all.

"I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."

Looking at Xue Shi who was tied up, Lin Yi walked out of the cell.

Outside the iron gate, Reinhardt was already leading an elite team and standing by.

Once Lin Yi is unable to deal with the Blood Devourer inside, Reinhardt will immediately lead his men in to provide support.

When Lin Yi appeared at the door, Reinhardt's face showed a hint of disbelief.

"Solved? So quickly?" There was a hint of surprise in Reinhardt's voice, and he was obviously surprised by Lin Yi's efficiency.

You know, the last time Lin Yi fought with the Eye of Void, the two sides fought fiercely, and the aftermath of the battle almost razed the entire street to the ground.

This time, before Reinhardt even felt any unusual movement, Lin Yi had already walked out of the cell.

"I was just lucky. I happened to be able to restrain that guy's ability. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy. That guy can control other people's minds and their memories. If we're not careful, it's easy for him to break through from the inside."

After listening to this, Reinhardt nodded solemnly.

Although Lin Yi said it calmly, he could hear how dangerous Blood Devouring's ability was.

This ability is simply a magical skill for lurking and undercover. If you are not careful, the enemy may collapse your defense from within.

As for Lin Yi saying that he could control these abilities, Reinhardt was not surprised.

There are quite a few people with strange abilities in the Imperial Sanatorium. Didn't they cause a commotion some time ago?
At that time, Reinhardt personally led a team to blockade the scene and knew a lot of inside information.

Therefore, Reinhardt was not surprised at all that Lin Yi possessed abilities or items that could restrain mind control.

The Imperial Sanatorium has already suffered a setback in this regard, so it is impossible for it to suffer a big loss again.

"Come here, go to the warehouse and get some psychotropic drugs to distribute. If you feel your mental state is abnormal, take the drugs immediately."

As the empire's violent agency, the execution agency naturally also has methods to deal with mental manipulation.

Soon, Xue Shi was taken to a basement cell alone.

The awakened ones guarding the surrounding area have been carefully selected and have a certain resistance to mental attacks, so as to prevent the other party from escaping from prison.

When Lin Yi returned to the office, he found Winnie lazily leaning on the sofa, holding a piece of cake in her hand and stuffing it into her mouth in big mouthfuls, while with the other hand she would occasionally pick up the water cup and take a few gulps.

"came back."

"Well, the other party wants to see you again." Winnie said vaguely, her mouth full of food, and her voice sounded a little muffled.

The place where Edmund von Klein was was not an ordinary place. It was the residence of the Klein family. The number of private soldiers there was even greater than that near the Parliament Palace, and the security was so tight that even a fly could hardly fly in.

Winnie spent a lot of effort to sneak in quietly, but she finally achieved her goal.

Winnie shrugged, took out an exquisite invitation letter from her arms and threw it to Lin Yi.

"Edmund von Klein's reaction was very interesting." She let out a playful smile. "After he read the letter, he finally gave me this."

Lin Yi took the invitation and scanned the exquisite gold-plated font: "Private dance? It seems that they finally can't sit still anymore."

Although he and Reinhardt's power in the empire is now enough to make the parliamentarians wary, their political strength is far from enough when facing these ancient families that have been passed down for thousands of years.

The power and trump cards of these families are deeply rooted and intertwined. Not to mention him, even old foxes like Herbert and Harold have to be cautious and take every step carefully when facing these families. (End of this chapter)
