Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

“Have the Scavengers become so decadent now? A mere fourth-rank person dares to bully you and act arrogantly?” After hearing Lin Yi’s words, none of the Scavengers members present dared to speak out in rebuttal and could only lower their heads in silence.

Except for Peacock, most of the other scavenger members are just newcomers who have just entered the Samsara Paradise and have not even passed the second-level trial.

Who among the truly capable contractors would work hard for the meager rewards of a scavenger? Anyone who could advance to the second rank could earn a lot of money by simply taking on a few missions, so why would they have to be inferior to others and endure this humiliation?

"Do you know which adventure group this fourth-level guy is from? He came to someone else's territory without even saying hello. Does he really think he's that important?"

Before he finished speaking, a cold murderous intent emanated from Lin Yi, and the scavenger members around him instantly felt as if they had fallen into an icy cave, and breathing became difficult.

They felt in a trance that the person standing in front of them was not a human being, but a ferocious beast from ancient times, locking its prey with bloodthirsty eyes, ready to tear apart anything that dared to challenge it.

"Sir!" A member of the scavenger team said with a trembling voice and cold sweat on his forehead, "We have already found out that the nickname of the man just now is 'White Lizard', and he belongs to the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Adventure Group'..."

Peacock quickly took over the conversation, respectfully handed the tablet to Lin Yi, and added: "The structure of this adventure group is similar to the Beast Pirates in One Piece. The leader is a dragon blood sorcerer, so they only recruit professionals or contractors with animal blood. The half-crocodile you just killed and this white lizard are both the backbone of the group."

As he spoke, Peacock's eyes unconsciously glanced at Su Xiao beside Lin Yi.

She secretly thanked her lucky stars that she had not been foolish enough to provoke these two evil gods - otherwise, her fate would probably not be much better than that of the half-crocodile.

"Let me see..." Lin Yi looked down at the information about the Ten Thousand Beasts Adventure Group on the tablet computer, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Hmm? Why does the base of this adventure group look so familiar?" He tapped the screen with his fingertips and said thoughtfully, "Are the guys from the God Emperor also nearby?"

According to the information, the Ten Thousand Beasts Adventure Group is stationed in Luoshan City in the neighboring province, while the headquarters of the God Emperor Adventure Group is located in Linjiang City, more than 50 kilometers away.

Although they were not adjacent, in the real world where the forces of the contractors were intertwined, this distance was enough to cause friction between the two major adventure groups.

Lin Yi took out his cell phone and dialed the private number of "Matcha", the chief healer of the Divine Emperor Adventure Group.

"Hello, who is this?" A lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone. The sound of water dripping in the background was particularly clear, as if the other party was taking a shower.

"It's me." Lin Yi responded briefly.

"Oh? Doctor?" Matcha's voice suddenly became lively. There was a splash of water in the bathtub, and it was obvious that she stood up directly.

She casually pulled a towel over her graceful figure and said, "What a rare guest! I can actually receive a call from you in the real world."

At this moment, Matcha is in a five-star hotel under the Shenhuang Group. As the chief nanny of the adventure team, she also enjoys top treatment in the real world.

The multinational corporation run by the God Emperor Adventure Group in the surface world pays huge dividends to its core members every year.

For Matcha, every day in the real world is precious.

After all, the next time you enter the reincarnation paradise, you might have to face the Shura field with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

In this case, why not enjoy this brief peaceful time? Top-quality red wine, private SPA, custom-made fashion - this is the life she deserves.

"I want to ask you something." Lin Yi's voice came through the phone. Matcha on the other end of the phone could even imagine the dangerous expression on his face with his eyes narrowed slightly. "Ten Thousand Beasts Adventure Group, are you familiar with it?"

Matcha, who was wiping her wet hair, suddenly froze, and water droplets slid down her slender neck.

She frowned slightly. Outside the French window, the neon lights of the city cast tiny shadows in her amber pupils. "Ten thousand beasts? Those mad dogs?"

She tossed the towel aside, her silk bathrobe opening slightly as she moved, "Why, did they annoy you?"

"Well, there was a blind fourth-level guy who came to my territory to cause trouble, and I killed him." Lin Yi said indifferently, "By the way, their leader is a dragon?"

"A dragon? Ha, just a hybrid lizard. That guy is called 'Tyrant', a fourth-level warlock. He takes himself seriously just because he has some dragon blood. But..." She paused and lowered her voice, "There's something wrong with their group recently."

"Something's wrong?"

"Yes, they seem to be doing some kind of 'blood experiment' in the real world."

Matcha's voice was filled with disgust. "They captured a lot of ordinary people for live experiments, and even the contractors started to disappear. The God Emperor warned them personally last week, but those lunatics..."

Lin Yi's eyes flashed coldly: "Send me the coordinates."

Matcha was stunned: "What are you doing? Don't mess around. Although their group is crazy, they are not weak, and there may be someone behind them..."

"Someone?" Lin Yi sneered, "That's great, let's kill them together."

There was silence on the other end of the line for a few seconds, and then Matcha sighed, "Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up. But... don't make a big fuss. The real world is not like paradise, and it will be hard to explain to the authorities."

"Don't worry, the official is here with me." Lin Yi hung up the phone and looked up at Peacock. "Have the scavengers received any reports of missing persons recently?"

Peacock was stunned and quickly looked through the tablet: "Yes! In the past three months, there have been more than 20 missing cases in the neighboring province, but they were all ordinary people, so we didn't pay much attention to it..."

"Give me all the information."

Lin Yi took the tablet and swiped the screen quickly with his fingertips.

Although the archival records are fragmented, the deliberately blurred photos of the scene, the unreasonable way of disappearance, and the strange energy residue at the victim’s last appearance location - this is definitely not an ordinary crime, but the work of the contractor.

“Heh, a bunch of idiots who don’t know how to live or die, actually dare to do this kind of thing in the real world.” He threw the tablet back and glanced at Su Xiao at the same time. His meaning was very clear: do you want to come over and play?

Lidya Su did not answer immediately, but looked down at Bubu Wang at his feet.

Bubuwang's tail made a rustling sound on the floor, and his claws unconsciously scratched a few white marks on the tiles. Seeing this, Su Xiao nodded and said that he would go together.

At the same time, Lin Yi called the person who made the soup.

Although these soup cooks look like crazy people, the boss behind them is really awesome. Being able to snatch a meal from the scavengers is not a job that ordinary people can take on.

On the other end of the phone, the soup cook's breathing became heavier, like a shark smelling blood.

"Ten thousand beasts... Tyrant... Living experiment..." The hoarse voice was filled with twisted excitement, "Doctor, you really gave us a great gift."

Lin Yi sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, can you answer it?"

"Take it! Of course!" The soup cook laughed creepily, "The soup made from this dirty soul must be... delicious."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi looked at Lidya Su and said, "Those crazy people who make soup will start first, and we will follow."

Su Xiao nodded, his fingers unconsciously stroking the hilt, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "How to deal with the experimental subject?"

"If you can save them, save them. If you can't save them..." Lin Yi paused, "Send them to freedom."

"Woof!" Bubu Wang suddenly barked excitedly, with his big furry tail raised high, drawing a cheerful arc under the light.

Its round dog eyes sparkled with eagerness - this kind of house-destroying activity has always been its most anticipated entertainment.

Peacock was terrified when he heard this. The soup cooker? That was a madman that even the top leaders of the scavengers were unwilling to provoke!

She swallowed and asked carefully, "Sir, do you need support from the scavengers?"

Lin Yi glanced at her with a half-smile: "Why, are you not afraid of taking responsibility now?"

Peacock felt the fabric on her back was soaked with cold sweat, but she still said, "The actions of the Ten Thousand Beasts Adventure Group have seriously violated Articles 37 and 89 of the Real World Contractor Convention. The Scavenger has the right to intervene in the investigation."

“Whatever you want.” Lin Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense and turned to walk out the door. “But don’t get in the way, or I’ll take care of you too.”

……

Three hours later, at the base of the Ten Thousand Beasts Adventure Group.

This is a manor disguised as a biopharmaceutical company, with high walls, electric fences, and patrolling guards who all have a faint aura of wild beasts.

However, at this moment, the manor was dead silent.

The gate was open, and two fully armed guards were slumped in twisted postures on either side of the gatepost.

Their riot helmets were tilted, revealing their wide-open eyes, and the corners of their mouths were exaggeratedly raised, frozen in a creepy smile, as if they had seen paradise in the last moment of their lives.

Lin Yi stepped over a pool of sticky liquid that exuded a strange aroma and frowned, saying, "The soup cook is really quick."

Su Xiao knelt on one knee, the hem of his black windbreaker falling into a pool of blood.

He gently dipped his tactical glove's index finger into a little liquid, twisted it on his fingertips, and sniffed it. "Hallucinogens mixed with neurotoxins. It seems that their methods have been upgraded again."

Suddenly, Bubuwang pricked up his ears, growled, and pointed toward the main building.

"It seems the real master is not dead yet. Let's go and meet the 'dragon'."

Walking through the landscaped area in the center of the park, the two noticed that the surroundings were eerily quiet.

There was no body except for a few pools of undried blood on the ground.

Apparently, all the living things in the park had been packed up and taken away by the soup cook, ready to be used as raw materials for making soup.

The alloy door of the main building was ajar, and dark red light seeped through the gap, casting a long and thin streak of light on the dark ground, like a half-open blood-red eye, spying on the intruder's every move.

boom--

Lin Yi raised his leg and kicked hard, and the door burst open.

In an instant, a strange smell mixed with a rotten, sweet and fishy smell came like a wave towards me, making me feel nauseous.

Inside the hall, dozens of two-meter-high transparent culture chambers were arranged in a matrix, with twisted and deformed humanoid creatures suspended in each chamber.

Some are covered with blue-gray scales, some have limbs transformed into sharp claws, and some even have deformed flesh wings torn out on their backs, like a stitched-together monster.

The light green culture fluid glowed with a strange fluorescence, illuminating the entire space like a biochemical laboratory in a nightmare. Su Xiao's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his right hand was already on the hilt of the knife. The blade was three inches out of the sheath, and a cold light flashed.

The knife flashed like lightning, and the nearby culture chamber cracked.

Those sleeping experimental subjects didn't even have time to open their eyes before they fell into eternal sleep under the light of the knife.

"boom!"

Suddenly, there was a loud sound of glass breaking on the second floor, followed by a wild beast-like roar.

A black shadow smashed through the tempered glass railing on the second floor and fell heavily in the center of the hall like a cannonball.

The marble tiles on the ground cracked instantly, and spider-web-like cracks spread in all directions.

After the smoke and dust cleared, a humanoid creature was revealed, twitching violently. Its upper body still retained human features, but large areas of skin were cracked and falling off, revealing new green scales underneath. Its lower limbs had been completely mutated, and its thick lizard tail was unconsciously flapping the ground.

The other person's eyes were filled with extreme pain and madness, and tears mixed with blood slid down from the corners of his eyes.

"Save...save me..." The monster raised his right hand, which had been deformed into a claw, with difficulty, and squeezed out a few unclear syllables from his throat.

But in the next second, its body suddenly spasmed violently, its spine twisted and bulged like a living thing, and something under its skin was squirming wildly, as if it was about to break out of the body at any time!

Lin Yi's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and swung out a sword energy.

The sword energy accurately penetrated the monster's brows, its movements froze instantly, its eyes filled with pain gradually lost their luster, and finally it fell to the ground with a bang, splashing a pool of blood mixed with scales.

"The blood fusion failed, there is no hope." Lin Yi withdrew his hand and turned his gaze to the second floor.

In the shadows, a figure more than two meters tall was walking slowly.

With every step taken, the metal corridor creaked under the weight, as if it would collapse at any time.

"Tyrant?" Lin Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Who are you?" After seeing Lin Yi and Su Xiao, the tyrant did not rush up immediately.

"It looks like the soup cook is gone. That's good, since I won't come here in vain."

"Soup cookers? I tore those lunatics to pieces when they were running around in the lab." The tyrant grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp dragon teeth. "Their soup pot is now cooking their own bones."

Su Xiao's Dragon Slash was already three inches out of its sheath, and the cold blade light drew a blinding cold light in the dim laboratory: "You captured ordinary people for experiments?"

The tyrant suddenly laughed wildly, and the laughter made the glass of the incubator buzz: "Ordinary people? No, these are volunteers! They crave power, and I grant them evolution!"

He opened his arms, and the muscles under his scales squirmed strangely, "Look at this perfect bloodline!"

"I've seen a lot of crazy people, but it's rare to see someone as disgusting as you."

As Lin Yi spoke, he pulled out a long sword from his waist. This long sword was a masterpiece that Lin Yi specially commissioned a forging master to make.

It is made of thousand-layer Damascus steel billets that are repeatedly folded and forged, and the naturally formed patterns on the blade are like flowing water waves.

Even in the equipment rating of Samsara Paradise, this weapon is good enough to be rated as a white boutique.

But at this moment, a bigger question arose in Lin Yi's mind - how did the tyrant use his skills in the real world?

According to the rules of the Reincarnation Paradise, when the contractor returns to the real world, all bloodline abilities will be sealed unless special props are used.

But the energy fluctuations surging from the Tyrant in front of him clearly showed that some skill was ready to be unleashed.
As the energy fluctuated, the tyrant's skin was completely covered with blue-black dragon scales, and two broken wings of flesh were torn out from his back. Wherever his tail swept, the metal wall was cut like paper.

But in the eyes of Su Xiao and Lin Yi, this seemingly ferocious monster was just a living target.

Faced with the ultimate skills of the grandmaster-level technique, the tyrant didn't even have time to see the opponent's movements clearly before he felt a sharp pain in his tail.

The thick dragon tail that was raging just now fell heavily at Su Xiao's feet, and the broken end was as smooth as a mirror.

The tyrant staggered back a few steps, and the dark purple blood spurting from the severed tail corroded small pits on the ground that emitted white smoke.

For the first time, fear appeared on his ferocious face: "It's impossible that my dragon scales can withstand artillery shells."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yi had already rushed forward.

"laugh!"

Three cold lights flashed, and three thick fingers with blue-black scales flew into the air while spinning.

"Ahhhh!" The tyrant let out a heart-wrenching howl, and his broken wings flapped wildly, stirring up a gust of wind mixed with the smell of blood.

The instruments and equipment in the laboratory were blown all over the place, and several glass chambers filled with culture medium exploded, splashing green liquid everywhere.

The tyrant's bloodshot dragon eyes suddenly locked onto Su Xiao, and he turned and pounced on him, ignoring the severe pain from his severed fingers.

Su Xiao did not dodge or evade, and raised the long sword from bottom to top.

The tyrant's entire right arm, along with his right flesh wing, was cut off at the root and fell heavily to the ground.

Before the tyrant could react, Su Xiao had already grabbed the knife with his backhand, and the two thick dragon legs were broken.

The tyrant's huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a twitching human stick.

"Damn it! Who are you! Who are you?" Although his limbs were cut off, the tyrant's vitality was very strong and his voice was still very loud.

Lin Yi walked closer slowly, with the tip of his sword against the tyrant's throat: "Now, tell me who gave you the special item that allows you to use your skills in the real world?"

The tyrant opened his bloody mouth and revealed a ferocious smile: "Haha, I can tell you who it is, it depends on whether you have the ability to cause trouble for him."

"Who?"

"Gray Gentleman."

"Okay, I'll take you on your way."

The tyrant's head flew high, drawing a parabola in the air.

The pair of dark golden vertical pupils still maintained a sarcastic look before death, until the head hit the ground heavily and rolled several times before stopping.

After resolving all of this, Lin Yi reported what happened in the real world to the Samsara Paradise.

At the same time, the gray gentleman who was hiding on a planet in the void took out a crystal fragment that was gradually dimming.

The purple light that was originally flickering on the fragment had now completely gone out, turning into a handful of ash that drifted away from between the fingers.

"So fast? Did Samsara Paradise send someone to handle it?" The gray gentleman pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes behind the lenses thoughtful.

"It's just an idle chess piece. If it's gone, it's gone."

Gray Gentleman has placed more than one chess piece like the Tyrant in the real world, all in order to restrain the Samsara Paradise at a critical moment. The Tyrant is just one of the chess pieces.

Five minutes later, the members of the Divine Emperor Adventure Group also arrived here.

Matcha, wearing high heels, leisurely kicked away a piece of charred scale beside her feet, and glanced at the messy laboratory ruins on the ground.

"You guys are quick." Matcha pulled out a small jewel-encrusted fan from her handbag and fanned it gently.

Lin Yi put away his sword and glanced at her: "You came at the right time, please help me deal with the aftermath."

"Oh, you're ordering us around now? I even changed into a new skirt just to watch the fun~" Matcha pouted her lips in a wronged manner.

Su Xiao's Tang sword returned to its sheath with a clang. This action made all the Divine Emperor members present tense up involuntarily.

“Don’t dig too deep into what’s going on here. Leave the rest to the scavengers.” Matcha’s fanning hand suddenly stopped.

She knew Su Xiao too well—this man who never talked nonsense was definitely not joking in his warning at this moment.

Since the God Emperor Adventure Group was asked not to dig deeper into the matter, it means that this matter is extremely dangerous. If the God Emperor Adventure Group digs deeper, it is very likely to lead to the annihilation of the God Emperor Adventure Group.

Matcha turned and looked at the members of the Divine Emperor behind him: "Everyone withdraw, start the memory erasure procedure."

Several members of the Divine Emperor were visibly stunned for a moment, but their professional ethics made them immediately carry out the order.

One of the contractors wearing glasses took out a prop that looked like a pocket watch, and light blue ripples instantly enveloped the entire place.

"Is this clean enough?" She tapped her temple with her fingertips. "Do you want me to get rid of this memory of mine?"

"You don't have to. Go back and tell the God Emperor, he will understand." Although the existence of hunters and violators is top secret in the Samsara Paradise, starting from the fourth level, this secret becomes increasingly difficult to maintain like a leaky sieve.

The reason is simple—the number of contractors began to drop sharply.

Veterans who have been fighting in the mission world for a long time have already noticed this truth from clues.

At a high level, it can no longer even be called a secret.

Some brazen offenders will even leave marks on purpose as a veiled challenge to the hunters.

Just like the name mentioned by the tyrant before his death, Gray Gentleman, is one of the most dangerous offenders. (End of this chapter)
