Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 495 Tao Pai Pai's Name, Turning Against Her (4K+)

"Hehe, as expected of a keen-witted beast, it sensed danger so quickly~"

Whiteface leans back against the body of a fox burning with icy blue flames, without wearing a mask, and smiles contentedly.

The intelligence broker standing in front of her was wearing a black cloak and a white Hannya demon mask. Due to the concealment of the space, his true identity was completely unknown.

This kind of avatar is very common. It is a special avatar often used by many information brokers and reincarnators when doing shady business, in order to prevent others from knowing that it was he who leaked the information.

"Yes, based on the current signs, Tao Pai Pai has realized that someone in the space is deliberately leaking his information, and he suspects the information broker he knows best, Black Butler. Black Butler is furious and is currently using his information channels to find out who is buying and leaking Tao Pai Pai's information."

Bai Mian lay on her back, and the fox spirit obediently adjusted its position to make Bai Mian more comfortable. After the disappearance of Her Majesty [Eternal Destiny], this woman, after experiencing initial fear and rage, has now finally completely let go of herself.

She realized she was close enough to be among the so-called top reincarnators, and she would win a significant title in the upcoming title battle of the next cycle.

What kind of sages are these? They're all useless. If Your Majesty had chosen her to enter the B711 world back then, she believed that with her abilities, she would never have let that Tao Pai Pai guy gain such a big advantage.

On her right hand, a gleam shimmered that only she could see.

Without even looking at the person, she raised her hand and transferred a C-level singularity along with 10,000 dimensional points to the information broker who had disguised his identity.

"Little Gold, you did a good job. Next, continue spreading information about Tao Pai Pai. Ideally, drag everyone who has had dealings with him into it. I want to make this beast paranoid..."

She lay on her back, her delicate, fair legs peeking out from under her gold-trimmed white robe, trembling slightly.

She knew that those guys from the Great Demon Sect probably had some designs on her and were secretly contacting each other, but she didn't take them seriously.

They're all a bunch of idiots, but Bai Mian isn't exactly a magnanimous person, she added.

"Include the news that the Great Demon and the remnants of the Fifth Element are plotting to kill Tao Pai Pai in those other news reports. As for the authenticity and amount of information, you can decide for yourself. Oh, and who else is there... Tianyi, that woman named Tianyi seems to be getting more and more famous lately. She has had some interaction with Tao Pai Pai, so include her too."

The intelligence broker, nicknamed Little Gold, kept his head down, feeling that White Face seemed to be acting on a whim, but this deal was becoming increasingly dangerous.

He sensed a strong sense of unease. This group was not only plotting against Tao Pai Pai, an extremely dangerous beast, but also was internally unstable. These reincarnators, who saw themselves as hunters and avengers, were also wary of and scheming against each other.

After almost every transaction, he would receive orders from his employer to spread negative news about others.

Can this group of people really successfully surround and kill Tao Pai Pai...?

Bai Mian suddenly stood up, her delicate, girlish face suddenly close to Xiao Jinzi's, her eyes narrowed like a dangerous crescent moon.

"I smell fear and retreat, Little Goldie. Are you thinking that our disorganized alliance is no match for Tao Pai Pai?"

[Jin Ruohai]'s pupils contracted, and he subconsciously looked at the description on the avatar. Although this was the other party's private space and the isolation effect was not as strong as that of a public space, the avatar could still theoretically isolate all spying, mind reading, and perception effects.

Seeing this, Bai Mian laughed heartily. She loved seeing these fools being played by her. With just a little psychological suggestion, they would act exactly as she wanted.

This gave her a natural sense of superiority over these mediocre people, a sense of superiority not based on strength, but on... mindset and strategy.

"Alright, Little Gold, stop looking. I can read your mind completely. I hope Tao Pai Pai doesn't find out. That guy... tsk, he's not exactly stupid. If he sees through you, you'll be dead~"

Jin Ruohai nodded and left Bai Mian's private space without saying a word; he was indeed a little scared.

He decided that after this mission was over, he would completely abandon the identity of Jin Ruohai, change his avatar and code name, give up all his previous connections, and start over.

He returned to his private space, which he had decorated like a luxurious clubhouse. It was quite extravagant. He lit high-end aromatherapy and only after smelling the scent did he completely relax.

[A message from XX53562211: Mr. Jin Ruohai, I've heard you're a well-known intelligence broker in the Eastern District. I'd like to make a deal with you.]

A spatial communication message suddenly appeared before his eyes, causing Jin Ruohai to frown. He had already switched back to the avatar he often used under the code name Jin Ruohai, which was a middle-aged man with slightly graying temples wearing an expensive red suit, exuding a calm and composed demeanor.

The message was incomplete, but the code name seemed somewhat familiar to him.

[XX53562211 sent a message: Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Tao Bai Bai]

The pop-up message made Jin Ruohai instinctively stand up abruptly, as if an electric current was rising from his tailbone, instantly making his whole body numb and his face extremely pale.

Yes, this code name starting with double X is Tao Pai Pai!
Because Tao Pai Pai's stall has almost always had high-value props recently, and he has sent quotes to Tao Pai Pai's stall when he was looking for suitable props for many people, he has some subconscious memory of this number.

Why did Tao Pai Pai approach me?!

He found out?!
Jin Ruohai's heart began to pound uncontrollably. He subconsciously wanted to leave the space and return to the real world to temporarily avoid Tao Pai Pai, but as soon as this thought appeared, another contact appeared.

[XX53562211 sent a message: Don't be nervous, I have no ill intentions in contacting you. Perhaps you don't know, but I am actually a very contract-abiding partner, and Black Butler can prove that. If you cooperate with me, I won't harm you...]

This string of ellipses seems to be saying, "If you don't cooperate with me, I can't guarantee I won't target you..."

Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. Jin Ruohai felt that every word Tao Baibai said was threatening. He felt like he had just been toyed with by Baimian. The other party firmly controlled the rhythm of the conversation and saw through his thoughts very clearly.

Damn it, I clearly haven't had any dealings with Tao Pai Pai. It must be someone else who analyzed my personality and habits.
Now, the image of the Black Butler appears in Ruohai's mind. As an information broker whose reputation is growing due to Tao Pai Pai's rise, the Black Butler has already begun to have an impact on his network of connections.

Putting himself in the other person's shoes, he figured that the Black Butler would probably also be willing to put a bad word about him in front of Tao Pai Pai, since he was one of the White Face's regular intelligence brokers. Trying to kill him might not be a bad thing for either Tao Pai Pai or the Black Butler.

And... Tao Pai Pai seems to be the type who would be happy if someone asked him to kill someone...

Jin Ruohai frowned, but ultimately agreed to Tao Pai Pai's request to enter his private space.

The next moment, a pink robe appeared in his private space, long black hair was draped behind him, and Tao Pai Pai sat on his high-end sofa, a signature cruel smile on his lips.

Just by making eye contact with Tao Pai Pai, Jin Ruohai felt uneasy. It wasn't just because the avatar's face was bizarre; Tao Pai Pai seemed to exude aggression at all times, his gaze as if constantly spying on his mind. This made Jin Ruohai somewhat uneasy, but as an information broker trusted by many, he had his own methods. He secretly injected himself with several vials of medicine using the modified prosthetic body within him, and quickly calmed down.

"Mr. Tao Pai Pai, you came to me to discuss how to cooperate. I remember you've always cooperated with Black Butler, haven't you?"

Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes, his smile remaining unchanged.

"With your intelligence network, I think you should know that information and intelligence about me are circulating in many places in the space right now."

Jin Ruohai gave a vague response, neither confirming nor denying, but under the influence of the drug, his expression remained relatively normal.

"Who would want to work with an information broker who can't keep his mouth shut for long, don't you think, Mr. Jin Ruohai?"

Jin Ruohai's heart skipped a beat. Connecting this to the part where the Black Butler was furious and investigated the person who leaked the information, he realized that the Black Butler's anger was probably due to two reasons. On one hand, he had lost Tao Pai Pai's trust and lost his long-term cash cow. On the other hand, he was afraid because he had aroused Tao Pai Pai's dissatisfaction!

Thinking about it this way, Jin Ruohai smiled.

Tao Pai Pai is a reincarnator with immense potential, and it's almost certain that he will become a powerful titled reincarnator in the upcoming new cycle.

Moreover, Tao Pai Pai has not yet built its own power base, making it a major customer with a constant demand for buying and selling!
Jin Ruohai stood up, a reserved yet confident smile appearing on his refined face.

"Mr. Tao has found the right person. In the East District now, when it comes to connections and reputation, I'm probably one of the top intelligence brokers. Black Butler, a newcomer who hasn't even lived three months, naturally has many shortcomings..."

Bai Cangshu could clearly sense the greed and folly in the other party's heart without relying on any special abilities.

His smile grew wider, revealing an undisguised greed. He leaned forward, almost touching Jin Ruohai.

Looking directly into Jin Ruohai's eyes, he began to speak.
"You should know my style. As a tentative first deal between us, I want you to help me find out information about someone's next mission world."

Jin Ruohai's heart skipped a beat, and sure enough, he heard Bai Cangshu speak.

"White Face, that woman must be your customer, right? Find information about her next mission world, and I'll let you take a cut from her Crimson Drop Card. You should know her worth; even I don't often offer that kind of price..."

His pupils trembled, almost suspecting that Bai Mian and the others' plan had been exposed, but Tao Bai Bai had already spoken further.

"Don't overthink it. This has nothing to do with the recent leaks of my information. I'm just itching to hunt down a decent guy."

Bai Cangshu's words were a mix of truth and falsehood. He was indeed unsure who was secretly plotting against him, but he didn't really care about such things. As long as he killed all potential enemies, he wouldn't even need to look for the answer.

As a special reincarnator who possesses [cards], Bai Cangshu naturally listed Bai Mian as his first target for assassination.

Seeing that Jin Ruohai did not answer, Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes.

"Mr. Jin Ruohai, you wouldn't have changed your mind and not want to do business with me after hearing about my goal, would you?"

"Ha~ In that case, if I fail to hunt, I'll blame you."

Jin Ruohai's expression froze. Tao Baibai's threat was so direct that the hormones stimulated by the drugs could hardly contain his wildly beating heart.

He hesitated for a long time, his expression constantly changing. Scenes of Bai Mian and the others scheming against each other, as well as Tao Pai Pai's various feats of defeating higher-level reincarnators along the way, kept appearing in his mind.

Finally, he slapped his thigh and made a decision.

"Her next mission world will most likely be a magical or sorcerous world. Recently, she's been asking me to collect similar things for her, including... relics. I think you can guess her purpose."

Jin Ruohai was well aware that Bai Mian looked down on him, treating him like a stupid pig, and hadn't even separated various intelligence brokers to search for information, to the point that he could guess the world of her mission.

At this moment, it was all handed over to Tao Pai Pai.

However, he still kept a backup plan and did not tell Tao Pai Pai about the alliance. If Tao Pai Pai failed in his hunt, he would still have room to maneuver.

“Very good, Mr. Jin Ruohai, you have made a wise choice.”

After leaving Jin Ruohai's private space and returning to the public space, Bai Cangshu once again put on an expression of barely concealed anger.

He chuckled inwardly, realizing that he hadn't paid a cent, yet Jin Ruohai, an intelligence broker, had betrayed his long-time employer.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. This is the result of his high-profile actions under the identity of "Tao Pai Pai". His illustrious and domineering style has made him, as a newcomer, more valuable than the old-timers like Bai Mian in the eyes of intelligence brokers like Jin Ruohai.

This intangible value will accumulate until, in the end, one's name will become a symbol, and others will no longer dare to spread news that is detrimental to them, just like those supreme beings at this moment.

When Bai Cangshu returned to his private space, Song Xian had already informed him through spatial communication that Dongxia had agreed to his request, and from then on, his "Paradise" would become a true no-man's-land.

Bai Cangshu returned to the real world, sat in the manor, and laughed heartily.

He was holding a prop that had also been sealed away for a long time.

【Cursed Meme: Desire】

This will be the first great gift in his paradise, and he will unleash a new wave of chaos!
[Honkai Impact Value: 343/500 (Order is relatively stable)]

[Honkai Impact Bonus: Less than 1, not effective]

Not enough. This world is far from chaotic enough...
