Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Back at the manor, Dai La was sitting side by side with King Dai Mao, with exquisite snacks on the silver plates in front of them.

King Saber sipped his black tea, while Dai Dela stuffed his cheeks with cake like a greedy rabbit.

Just as Su Xiao was about to pull out the carved dining chair and sit down, Lin Yi suddenly grabbed his wrist.

This abrupt action made everyone else, except Dai Deila who was concentrating on eating, put down their knives and forks, and their vigilant eyes wandered between the two of them.

"Dela, how did you sleep last night?"

"I slept well."

The girl responded vaguely, cream smeared on the corner of her mouth, and a big piece of the strawberry cake in her hand was bitten off.

Almost at the same time, everyone in the restaurant looked at Dai La, including King Saber, who had always regarded himself as Dai La's knight.

"What... did you just say?" the question echoed in the silent space.

Di Ya, who was hiding in Dai Daila's body, felt a tremor in her heart and a cold sweat quietly fell on her face - did she accidentally reveal something just now? Her mind was working rapidly, trying to find the flaw, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm.

"I slept well." She tried to imitate Daila's tone, but there was a subtle tremor in her voice. "Is there any problem?"

boom!
The next second, the dining table was suddenly overturned by a violent force, and tableware and food flew everywhere.

Lin Yi's fingers instantly clamped Dai Baila's neck with such force that she almost suffocated.

"First, Della would never speak in such a contemptuous tone - she knows her identity better than anyone else."

"Secondly, her upbringing would never allow her to give such a perfunctory answer."

His five fingers slowly tightened, and the power of the abyss wrapped around Dai Daila's body like a chain, completely blocking Dai Daila's ability to move.

"So - who are you?"

"Just... because of this?"

Di Ya was completely stunned, his mind went blank.

She never imagined that her identity would be completely exposed just because of a casual answer - what kind of brains do these guys in the Samsara Paradise have?
Lin Yi's eyes gradually turned dark black. At this moment, the temperature in the entire restaurant seemed to drop by several degrees.

The old charlatan at the side frowned and stared at Lin Yi.

If the City of Death had not yet arrived, he would even suspect that Lin Yi had been eroded by the power of Death.

And in Lin Yi's vision, two completely different life energies were emerging from Dai La's body.

Although one of the masses was huge, it was also scattered and thin. It was suppressed to the edge of the body by another more refined force and curled up in the corner.

"Got you."

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Yi's right hand pierced Dai La's chest, and blood splattered.

He tightened his five fingers and forcibly pulled out the still beating heart!

“Crazy…crazy!!”

Di Ya's voice was distorted by fear. She occupied Dai La's body in order to make Lin Yi hesitate - but who could have thought that this guy didn't even hesitate for a second and directly killed him!
This group of people... are simply crazy!

Although his heart was pulled out, Deira did not die immediately.

Ordinary people in this world, no matter how weak their physique is, are comparable to the small BOSS in the first-level world. Even if they lose their heart, they can still barely hold on for a few seconds.

But a few seconds were enough for Lin Yi.

He raised his right hand, and a gentle light of advanced healing magic instantly enveloped Dai Dela's body.

Dai La, whose consciousness had been gradually becoming blurred, suddenly felt a warm force surging into his body - the stagnant blood began to flow again, and the broken tissues regenerated rapidly.

“Ahem…Haaaaaa——!”

Under King Dai's incredulous gaze, Dai La suddenly sat up, gasping for breath like a drowning man regaining air.

She instinctively covered her chest with her hands, but what her fingertips touched was no longer a hideous bloody hole, but skin as smooth as before.

There wasn't even a trace of a scar on her snow-white skin.

Her pupils trembled, her fingertips unconsciously clenched her collar, and the phantom pain in her chest made her breathing tremble.

"What did you do?"

Dai Dela's voice was so soft that it almost broke, as if with just a little effort, the absurd reality before his eyes would dissipate like bubbles.

Lin Yi withdrew his hand coldly, with a faint glow of healing magic still lingering on his fingertips: "I just replaced your heart. I'll talk about it after I deal with the 'guest' in your body."

His eyes were locked back on the heart in his hand, or more precisely, on the abnormal life energy within the heart.

"Now, it's time to talk about you."

"Do you want to get out by yourself, or do you want me to pull you out?"

Di Ya was completely panicked at this moment.

She originally thought that occupying Dai La's body would make her invincible, but Lin Yi's methods were completely beyond her expectations - he could actually remove the heart without killing the host, and could even directly regenerate a heart!
The King of Daimao finally reacted at this time, unsheathed his holy sword, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the heart in Lin Yi's hand.

The old charlatan sighed and slowly took out an ancient book from his arms: "Alas, young people nowadays are always so open-hearted... However, this is a good case."

He turned the pages of the book, muttering something, as if preparing to cast some spell.

Di Ya knew that he had no way to escape.

"Okay...I'll come out!"

The next second, a ray of dark purple energy seeped out from the heart like a poisonous snake, twisted and condensed in mid-air, and finally turned into a vague female outline.

The shadow was erratic, but one could still make out her hideous face and eyes full of hatred.

“Finally showing up?” Lin Yi sneered, and the power of the abyss instantly turned into chains, tightly binding Di Ya's consciousness.

"You all go down for now."

At this moment, Su Xiao, who had been silent, finally spoke.

To be honest, Su Xiao's original plan was to solve the problem of "wearing" directly - simple, efficient, and without future troubles.

But he didn't expect that Lin Yi could remove the violator from the host in this way.

King Dai Mao clenched the hilt of the sword and struggled for a moment.

As the guardian of Daila, she should have stayed, but when her eyes met those of Lin Yi and Su Xiao, the invisible sense of oppression forced her to compromise.

Finally, she silently helped the unconscious Dai La up and turned away.

This time, her mission was a complete failure—she had no idea when the offender replaced Deira.

The pride of being a knight was severely shattered by reality at this moment.

"Talk?"

"Oh? That's strange." Di Ya's consciousness sneered harshly, "In the past, you hounds would fight to the death when you saw me. Why, the sun rose from the west today?"

She had originally prepared to abandon this clone. After all, if she fell into the hands of the hunters in the Samsara Paradise, it would be a blessing to die a quick death.

Unexpectedly, the other party took the initiative to propose negotiations, which completely disrupted her plans.

Lin Yi slowly dragged a chair over, and the metal legs made a harsh sound as they scraped against the ground.

"If it was before, I would have killed you without a second thought, but this world is different. I believe you should have understood part of the horror of this world."

"So, how did this ghost world come about?" Di Ya's shadow fluctuated violently, obviously he was hit in a sore spot.

She originally thought that the Black Throne Continent was just an ordinary fifth-order native world, and planned to seize the core of the world after plundering its resources and prepare to change paradise, but she later found that she was overthinking.

The core of this world is indeed easy to find. It is embedded in the throne in the Black King's palace. You can find it as long as you are not afraid of death.

But first, you have to break through the outermost defenses of the Black King's Palace.

Five thousand elite Royal Guards, each one is a battle-hardened killing machine.

Following closely behind were a thousand extraordinary people from the Senate, and finally, there were three hundred veterans who were specifically assigned to guard the palace gates. They were monsters that had survived countless bloody battles and had long surpassed the limits of mortals.

This is just the outermost line of defense of the palace. If you continue to enter, you will face the real horror. Di Ya once tried it. She occupied the body of a soldier and sneaked into the palace where the Black Throne was located quietly.

Her action had just begun when it came to an end.

When she stepped into the main gate of the palace, she saw a straight and wide corridor in front of her. It was more than 20 meters wide and seemed to lead to the abyss of hell.

On both sides of the corridor, densely packed black-armored soldiers stood still like sculptures. Although they were still breathing, they were like cold machines. Only the occasional blink of their eyes proved that they were still alive.

The moment Di Ya stepped in - without even giving her any chance to react - these black-armored soldiers suddenly jumped up, the weapons in their hands turned into whirlwinds of death, instantly strangling the body she occupied into pieces.

From then on, Di Ya completely gave up the idea of ​​stealing the core of the world.

The black-armored soldiers in the corridor alone were enough to reduce her to ashes. There must be even more terrifying creatures in there.

"So, what on earth do you want to keep me here for?" Di Ya, who was condensed from the black mist, transformed into a high-backed chair in mid-air and sat lazily leaning on it. "If you want to find someone to chat with, I suggest you go find that innocent and silly girl - my time is much more precious than you think."

Although abandoning this body would bring about considerable backlash, Di Ya was not panicked.

As long as you are still alive, there is always a chance to turn things around.

It was this confidence that made her willing to patiently listen to Lin Yi finish his words.

"How about cooperation?"

The moment Lin Yi finished speaking, Di Ya's movements suddenly froze.

She blinked and tilted her head as if she didn’t hear clearly, then pointed at herself in disbelief, then at Lin Yi, with an absurd smile in her voice: “I, the violator. You, the hunter. Both of us - cooperate?”

The moment she said this, even she couldn't help laughing out loud.

The hunters of Samsara Paradise are actually going to join forces with the violators? This is probably the funniest joke she has ever heard.

"To tell you the truth, a place like Dead Silence City is not a forbidden area for a Level 5 Contractor. But if we join forces, we might be able to get a piece of the pie there."

Lin Yi stared at Di Ya and expressed his thoughts.

Di Ya floated silently in the black fog, and no emotion could be seen on his face made of fog.

But Lin Yi and Su Xiao both knew it well - she was shaken.

For offenders, this is an irresistible temptation.

Unlike the contractors who can return to paradise, violators are like exiled lone wolves, forever trapped in a world full of dangers.

They must devour resources like gluttons and travel through the various worlds controlled by the Void Tree before they can find a chance to become stronger.

What's even more cruel is that their evolutionary path is a hundred times more difficult than that of the contractors.

For the same attribute improvement, the contractor only needs to consume 100 units of resources, while the violator has to pay 200 units or even more.

This desperate gap forced them to resort to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs to plunder the origin of the world.

Resources are the lifeblood of violators.

Once their growth rate slows down a bit, what awaits them is the hunter's ruthless pursuit - it will be a hunt to the death.

"You do this? Aren't you afraid of being attacked?"

Di Ya looked at Lin Yi. Although he didn't say everything, Lin Yi and Su Xiao knew who Di Ya was not talking about.

"Don't worry, it's not like we haven't encountered other violators before. As long as you are willing to pay a certain price, you can get rid of your violator status."

This is indeed true, but it is a thorny road soaked in blood.

If you want to get rid of the identity of a violator, you will have to suffer a lot even if you don't die - not to mention that the Samsara Paradise is the cruelest of all the paradises, and its punishment for betrayers is enough to scare even the most hardened desperadoes.

In this situation, only one in ten people can become a contractor.

Di Ya fell into deep thought at this moment. It was obvious that Lin Yi's words really touched Di Ya's heart.

When he was young and ignorant in the Apocalypse Paradise, Di Ya thought that the violators were so awesome. However, after jumping to the Samsara Paradise, Di Ya was chased and hunted until he lost all his pants.

Now that Lin Yi told Di Ya that he had a chance to make a new choice, Di Ya naturally would not give up the opportunity to regain the contractor.

"We can cooperate, but a contract must be signed." Di Ya finally spoke, his voice was a little wary, but he couldn't hide the desire.

This opportunity was too precious to her, like the last straw a drowning man grasped.

"Okay, I'll draw up the contract."

Seeing that Di Ya did not refute their words, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Lin Yi and Su Xiao at the same time.

Three minutes later, a contract notarized by the Samsara Paradise took shape in Lin Yi's hands.

This seemingly ordinary contract contains hidden secrets - not only does it adopt a layered contract design, it also incorporates a bunch of traps such as ultra-micro text, mirror contracts, and multi-layer contracts.

These techniques are considered advanced skills in the contract master circle, and they are difficult to detect unless you are an expert.

All I can say is that Di Ya suffered from his lack of experience.

As a violator, she had come into contact with straightforward contractors in Apocalypse Paradise, where the contracts were as straightforward and frank as the users' personalities.

After arriving at the Samsara Paradise, she was either on the run or preparing to escape, and had no chance to gain in-depth understanding of the contract culture of this paradise known for its cunning.

In her simple understanding, a contract notarized by the paradise should be fair and just.

After taking the contract, Di Yazai read the terms carefully, and only after confirming that every term was reasonable did he solemnly leave his mark on it.

However, at the moment when the mark was completed, something strange happened - the contract strangely split into thirty pieces in her hands, each of which flashed different contract clauses, and then dissipated into the air like a phantom.

Di Ya was stunned when she saw this scene. Her trembling fingers almost poked the noses of Lin Yi and Su Xiao. The restraint of the power of the contract made her whole body stiff, otherwise she would definitely tear these two treacherous men to pieces at all costs.

"Don't look at it. You want to restore your status as a contractor, but you don't want to pay the price. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

The validity of this contract is limited to the current world. This is a carefully calculated compromise: it not only prevents Di Ya from doing something desperate, but also ensures that she cooperates obediently in this world.

At the same time, Lin Yi and Su Xiao need to report to the Samsara Paradise that Di Ya wants to restore his identity as a contractor. Whether for the identity of the contractor or for himself, Di Ya must tolerate Lin Yi and Su Xiao in this world.

Under the rule system of the Reincarnation Paradise, this contract is like a double-edged sword - it not only constrains Di Ya to cooperate with their actions in this world, but also gives her hope of being reborn.

When it comes to violators, the park has always adhered to the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go."

All the violators who can be recruited have special value.

About five minutes later, ripples suddenly appeared in the space.

A girl in a black and white maid outfit appeared out of nowhere, her skirt swaying gently with her movements.

She had an androgynous and delicate face, with short black hair casually falling on her ears. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of sparkling gemstone earrings on her earlobes, which glowed eerily under the light.

"Are all the styles of your Samsara Paradise like this?"

Di Ya was sitting opposite the two of them, and he gritted his teeth as he said this.

She was originally quite confident in her wisdom, but since she stepped into the Samsara Paradise, all her pride was crushed - here, she was like a mouse being toyed with by a cat, no matter how she ran, she could not escape the hunter's clutches.

Every confrontation was like a loud slap in her face.

At this moment in the Black Throne Continent, all forces and resources have been completely integrated by Lin Yi and Su Xiao, like a tightly woven net, and no force can shake their control.

For Lin Yi, there is only one last step left - to complete the throne succession ceremony, open the palace of the Black King, seize the core of the world, and complete the second ring mission.

"I have another question." Di Ya said coldly, slowly took off his gloves, and showed his hands to Lin Yi and Su Xiao, "Who is the old charlatan next to you? He is obviously a living person, but when I tried to invade his consciousness, I was infected with the 'death' of the Dead Silence City..."

On her hands, strange black lines were wriggling like living things, spreading upward along her skin, as if some curse was devouring her life.

"That old guy is not simple. If we really fight him one-on-one, our chances of winning are only 40% to 60%."

"You six?"

"He's six."

Hearing Lin Yi's words, Di Ya frowned and could only curse his bad luck in his heart.

"I was so unlucky to come into this world."

Ever since she set foot on this continent, she seemed to be haunted by bad luck—whether it was the local forces or the hunters from the Samsara Paradise, they all pinned her to the ground and did not give her a chance to breathe. (End of this chapter)
