Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 566 Protector Tao Pai Pai, Meme Curse Released (4K+)

"This is... a paradise?!"

Lin Qinfu looked at the city, which had been completed in almost half a day. The streets were paved with thick black stone slabs, the layout was quite regular, and different streets were distinguished.

In areas with more shops, the stone slabs on the ground are finer.

Lin Qinfu, leading his armed militia, cautiously entered the new city.

Even holding a gun did not give these local militiamen any sense of security.

Bai Cangshu watched as Lin Qinfu and the other representatives of the local families entered before turning around and leading them from the commercial street toward the inner city.

He redesigned this real-world city belonging to the reincarnators according to the layout of public spaces.

Arranged in a circular pattern, with the Tower of Babel at the center of the city, each shop serves as a stall for the reincarnators to rent or sell. Each shop is directly created by the reincarnators using shaping magic.

And immediately, the magic and barrier will be reinforced to ensure their stability.

Bai Cangshu is expected to establish more than three large barriers within the city to repel ordinary people, reduce the destructive power of energy released in the urban area, and significantly suppress sensory abilities.

Although the functions within the reincarnation space cannot be fully realized, the time that a reincarnator can stay here is... infinite!
Moreover, everyone who enters the city will be declared to be under his protection the moment they enter.

Given his current notoriety, this would be a powerful attraction.

Subsequently, he will arrange for Jin Yue'an and others to further refine the commercial area so that the reincarnators can more easily find what they need here, and to form a patrol force to maintain order.

Located in the very center of the city, Bai Cangshu specially built a Tower of Babel.

The lowest level of the Tower of Babel will serve as a duel arena for resolving disputes between reincarnators. There, they can resolve conflicts entirely through force or vent their inner violence.

As for the higher levels, Bai Cangshu had his own plans. He had always hoped to hunt down powerful individuals everywhere, but here, he could use some rewards to attract those powerful reincarnators to come to this tower and fight with them.

And he will be waiting on one of the floors inside the tower...

Lin Qinfu was no longer paying attention to Boss Bai's expression; he was stunned by the sheer size of the city that had appeared out of nowhere.

As someone who coordinated with multiple construction units, I witnessed the city being built bit by bit, and it was completed at a speed that far exceeded the normal construction progress, thanks to the financial offensive of the March Consortium.

However, compared to the speed at which this city, which exudes a solemn aura, was built, it was on a completely different level.

"Boss Bai... are these people... ability users?!"

He also saw the strangers leaning against the wall; they all exuded an aura that made people afraid to approach them.

Du Enqin walked up from behind at this moment. She wouldn't ask about something so obvious; she just noticed something else.

"Boss Bai, do you mean that ordinary people like us can also move into this city?"

She still remembered the terrible disaster two days ago, but she dared not show her fear on her face. Perhaps Lin Qinfu had been following Boss Bai for so long that she had forgotten that Boss Bai in front of her was actually the most terrifying person.

The city did indeed collapse two days ago, but Boss Bai is completely unharmed!

Bai Cangshu glanced at the woman who was a bit smarter than Lin Qinfu, and pointed at her from a distance.

Zira~
In an instant, a faint electric current seemed to pierce through Du Enqin's body, flowing rapidly from within her.

She felt as if her body had been activated in that instant. With a tremor, she felt unusually clear-headed and much lighter.

"Boss Bai..."

Bai Cangshu reached out his hand, and Du Enqin immediately stopped talking, but her face was still filled with surprise and joy.

"Times have changed, and the two of you naturally need to board the ship of this new era..."

Du Enqin looked pleasantly surprised, while Lin Qinfu still felt confused and even a little frightened; his mind was indeed a bit slow to react.

But Bai Cangshu didn't care about their reactions at all, and just continued.

"Of course, the waves of the new era are turbulent... extremely turbulent..."

"A single misstep could result in utter destruction."

At this point, Bai Cangshu suddenly looked at the two of them, and both of them were instinctively startled.

Bai Cangshu held the cursed meme in his hand and said to the two of them...

"Survival is the beginning of a new era!"

Lin Qinfu felt a sharp pain on the hairs on his back, as if they were about to stand on end. The intense sense of danger felt like a hand gripping his spine.

"Boss Bai... Boss Bai... can we not..."

Click.

It was like something being crushed, or like an invisible curtain being broken.

Lin Qinfu instinctively stepped back, looking at Bai Cangshu in horror. He saw that the faces of the people who had been leaning against the ground in the distance had all changed.

"Release a meme at this time, Mr. Tao Pai Pai?!"

The group quickly retreated, but Bai Cangshu seemed oblivious and burst into laughter.

"This is extra reward for you. It's good stuff. With your mental strength, just be careful, you won't die."

Perhaps Dainichi's actions were intended to ease the conflict with Tao Pai Pai, or perhaps he genuinely believed that Tao Pai Pai and he shared the ambition to change the world, making them kindred spirits.

Therefore, those sent to rebuild the paradise for Bai Cangshu were all titled spellcaster-side reincarnators.

Its mental attributes are quite high, so it won't be easily consumed by memes and curses (desires).

Of course, if someone is indeed too fragile in character, this special curse from the world of [Sweet Home] could still pose a fatal threat.

Lin Qinfu staggered a few steps, clutching his throat. There was no smell or taste, but he felt as if something had entered his body.

Ignoring his fear of Bai Cangshu, he started running towards his jeep, wanting to escape at all costs.

Du Enqin touched her body, but she didn't feel any changes. Moreover, the ability that Boss Bai had just used on her felt very magical and had an excellent effect.

She was willing to accept the invitation from the so-called "new era".

Therefore, Du Enqin stayed where she was.

Bai Cangshu observed both of their reactions. Regardless of their choices, it made no difference to him.

The meme curse has been released, and it will continue to spread before it dissipates, causing all those infected to be drawn to their deepest desires.

Then comes the nosebleeds, the mutation phase, auditory hallucinations, and the generation of various special powers based on one's own desires.

The stronger the desire, the more drastic the change.

Those consumed by desire become monsters, but those who maintain their spirit can preserve their reason.

A monster whose desires are completely satisfied will cocoon itself and transform into a "new human" who has shed all desires.

Bai Cangshu looked at Du Enqin, who showed no reaction, and clicked his tongue.

"You don't have the qualifications."

On the contrary, Lin Qinfu, who was timid and cowardly, had undergone some kind of change inside.

Du Enqin looked lost and disappointed, but remained silent behind Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu also said to her

"Next, chaos will ensue around this city. You will be responsible for guiding those with abilities who have successfully entered the park, as well as those special infected individuals who have maintained their sanity, to register."

"Shops in this city can be leased to registered individuals."

"As long as we stay in this city, we will not be in danger."

After Bai Cangshu finished speaking, he leaped up and flew directly up the tower, which was hundreds of meters high, in Du Enqin's horrified gaze.

The few ability users who were still here earlier have also disappeared.

Du Enqin's heart was pounding wildly. She knew that Boss Bai had probably done something, and Lin Qinfu had been affected, and many others would be affected next!
She took several deep breaths to calm herself down. Looking at the empty city, she decided to recruit her team first...
-
You have been affected by the meme curse (desire).

You have been exempted from this effect.

Standing atop the highest level of the tower, Bai Cangshu looked at the prompts on the panel, feeling slightly disappointed. He had hoped to use this curse to intensify the desires within him. While surging desires weren't the light of the heart, they could bring him closer to that feeling.

Almost everyone who displayed that intense, thrilling energy before him was accompanied by strong emotional fluctuations.

Bai Cangshu sat up cross-legged, and his body naturally floated in the air.

Now~
Faint flashes of lightning appeared and disappeared from his body into the air, then spread out in circles.

In the sky, dark clouds began to roll, and muffled thunder rumbled.

[Heart Network Lv9] is fully released, and the entire city is completely brought under Bai Cangshu's perception.

Furthermore, Bai Cangshu now possesses the ability to clearly perceive the coordinates and thoughts of others simply by having their names mentioned. It can be said that within the range of the mind network, he is no different from Enel on Skypiea at that time.

Boom!

Thunderclouds rolled downwards, quickly pressing down on the amusement park and echoing the black tower.

Bai Cangshu closed his eyes.

[Magnetic field rotation, currently: 2 horsepower (increasing)]

The lightning accumulated within Bai Cangshu's body, combined with abilities such as the Heart of the Thunder Emperor, continued to rapidly propel the magnetic field upwards.

With a thought, Bai Cangshu conjured a Qi sword on his knee.

This thing probably comes from a world derived from a web novel. The [Qi Sword] is quite powerful when used for attack, and can injure people from a distance.

However, Bai Cangshu, whose martial arts skills have now reached the pinnacle of mastery, no longer finds this level of energy release and condensation appealing.

As long as the energy level is sufficient, he can release [Qi] and [magnetic field] more freely.

[Wild and Concealed Light EX051, you are absorbing the energy of the item Qi Sword. This action will irreversibly reduce the quality of the item Qi Sword and eventually destroy it.]

Ignoring the spatial prompts, Bai Cangshu unleashed a powerful aura and magnetic field from both hands, enveloping the Qi sword.

[You have absorbed 1 point of Qi, increasing your Qi attribute by 1 point.]

[You have absorbed 1 point of Qi, increasing your Qi attribute by 1 point.]

[You absorbed 1 point of Qi, increasing your Qi attribute by 2 points.]

……

The purest innate Qi, like sweet dew, seeped into Bai Cangshu's body little by little, nourishing the increasingly dense Qi within him!
Bai Cangshu felt as if her cells were being nourished, with a continuous flow of energy. The feeling was extremely comfortable, making Bai Cangshu's energy even stronger.

Boom!

The thunderclouds rolled downwards, almost touching the black tower.

Suddenly, Bai Cangshu opened his eyes. Amidst the flashes of lightning, his gaze pierced through a distance of nearly a hundred kilometers, landing on a dense forest on the outskirts of the amusement park.

call out!call out!call out!
A figure kept flashing, occasionally splitting into several shadow clones that flew in all directions.

But a strong chill appeared from the river, and soon, a person slid down the ice on the river.

"Kagerou, that's enough. Hand over all your items and singularities, and I might consider sparing your family."

The newcomer had a full head of white hair and was enveloped in frost. As he walked, the surrounding dense forest was completely frozen.

The man known as Yang Yan had a lot of blood on him. He was wearing gray work clothes and looked pained when he heard what the other man said.

"Using family members as leverage, are all of you from the Far East Magic Society this despicable?!"

The white-haired man remained unmoved and continued forward. Yang Yan, having nowhere else to turn, looked at the distant black tower and rolling thunderclouds, and suddenly shouted...
"Lord Tao Baibai!"

"I want to join Paradise, please grant me protection!"

The sound continued to roll, amplified by chakra. The white-haired man's expression changed, and he stopped worrying about the other party's gadgets and singularities.

A hand reached out, and a strong blast of freezing air immediately swept towards the man.

Yang Yan reversed his body, stepped onto a tree, and leaped out of the forest, escaping forward through the air. However, a huge ice pillar suddenly shot out from the forest like a giant spear, piercing towards Yang Yan in the air.

Shit!

A bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky, shattering the ice pillar with a deafening roar.

"Within the Paradise Territory, Reincarnators are not allowed to fight each other."

A cold voice, accompanied by rolling thunderclouds, fell from the sky.

Yang Yan landed from the air, staggered, and suffered frostbite on his ankle. He looked at [Frozen Cloud Wujiu] who had landed opposite him, grinned, and smiled with lingering fear.

"Haha... I've arrived! I've arrived at the amusement park!"

"You can't touch me! Lord Tao Pai Pai will protect me!"

With that, Yang Yan turned around and sprinted towards the tower.

Yun Wujiu frowned as he looked at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky. Tao Baibai's momentum was too terrifying, and he dared not make another move for the time being.

After a moment's thought, he also headed towards the black tower.

Tao Pai Pai promised to provide shelter, but did not say that he himself could not enter.

He decided to go in and take a look himself.

But after taking only a few steps, a new notification suddenly appeared.

You have been affected by the meme curse (desire).

[Testing is underway...]

[Check failed; you have been affected by the meme curse (desire)]

Yun Wujiu paused, as many past scenes began to appear inexplicably in his mind.

When I was young, I was pinned down in an icy lake by that group of people, and the feeling of impending death, as if I were about to freeze to death, came back to me.

tick, tick...

Thick blood began to drip from his nasal cavity.

Yun Wujiu shook his head, feeling an unusual spirit begin to appear in his mind, with intense malice spreading continuously.

Click, click.

A chilling aura began to spread naturally from his feet...

Yang Yan ran quickly, stepping on the treetops, and soon left the dense forest and came to an open area.

The black tower and the enormous, magnificent "Paradise" were now fully visible.

He was about to continue his journey and ask Lord Tao Pai Pai for a way to save his family. If necessary, he was also willing to sell the secret to Lord Tao Pai Pai.

At least, now that Lord Tao Pai Pai knows that secret, those people from the Far East Magic Society probably won't have it easy.

Roar!
A roar that sounded like that of some kind of wild beast rang out, and the next moment Yang Yan saw a creature on all fours, with a human-like head but a beast-like body, charging towards him.

The creature was bluish-gray all over, and as it ran, it roared again; its eyes were pitch black.

Yang Yan felt a jolt throughout his body, and his body began to sway.

Oh no, it's infrasound?!

He touched his ears; his eardrums were ruptured, and his balance was affected.

He immediately formed hand seals, and his clone was released again.

bang bang bang...

The monster crashed into it, shattering its clones one by one.

Yang Yan hid underground, feeling dizzy and uncertain.

What's going on? Monsters exist in the real world too?!
