An infinite journey starting from paradise

However, the problem remained: he couldn't confirm whether the consciousness of everyone in the park would be affected if the system crashed. What if the system crashed and the consciousness within was also deleted?

Therefore, Lin Shangren needs to obtain more information about the paradise system from insiders.

Originally, Lin Shangren chose to hint at it quietly because he was worried that the observers outside the virtual world would discover his abnormality.

But now... since the only person watching in reality might be Fan Kariha, and his skills can directly affect her in the real world, can Lin Shangren use the method of knocking Fan Kariha unconscious in reality to buy some time to confront Hehuan?

"System, that 'martial arts-based sure-hit' doesn't specify the form of the sure-hit, right? As long as it's an attack made by me, whether it's punching, kicking, or pressing the nuclear bomb launch button, it will definitely hit the target, isn't that right?" Lin Shangren asked in his heart.

[This is theoretically correct, but, my Lord, you are temporarily unable to use this skill.]

"why?"

[Because this skill requires your real body to perform the required actions, but you cannot control your real body right now.]

"That's not right. Then why can Kato Eagle... I mean, the Eagle Finger work?"

Because the Eagle Finger has reached a level of skill close to the Dao, it can be performed directly by consciousness.

"Fuck...it makes sense and is convincing. You have the final say, right?"

【～(￣▽￣～)】

"It seems I can only wait for the next game opportunity." Lin Shangren pondered, "Can I only rely on the Eagle Finger skill?"

He turned his gaze to the system backpack, which contained three items - all of which were props that Lin Shangren would draw in his remaining two draws.

[Prop Card: Bruce Hearn's Mask]

[Item Description: China's own Batman, Hou Tianlai, the black mask of Mr. Hou. Wearing it will greatly improve your foreign language learning ability and increase your chances of successfully persuading the opposite sex.]

[Item Notes: Although Mr. Hou's acting range is enviable, he is truly a first-class actor, not a third-class actor!]

[Item Card: Panacea Elixir x1]

[Item Description: A magical potion that can cure any disease or injury. To meet the needs of different individuals, you can even specify the flavor of the potion.]

[Note: You can put it into any container, including the Elemental Bottle, Holy Grail Bottle, and Wound Medicine Gourd. However, it only holds one bite, so please use with caution.]

These two items were undoubtedly valuable, but they meant little to Lin Shangren right now. Furthermore, even if he chose to use them, they would only affect his physical body in the real world.

"Looks like we'll have to play another round of games. It's a bit risky to directly contact Fan Kariye right now, so it's safer to take advantage of the game."

Seeing that Lin Shangren remained silent, He Huan took a few steps closer and said in dissatisfaction, "Hey, why didn't you answer me? Did my words hit a sore spot?"

"Ah, yes, yes, exactly as you said, I really do enjoy bullying Ye. Oh my God, I'm such a beast, how could I do this? Wow, wow, wow, I can't stand the moral condemnation and torment in my heart.

How about it, are you satisfied?"

Looking at Lin Shangren's nonchalant expression, He Huan was puzzled. "Hey, could it be that you really are a pervert who enjoys this kind of game? That's really unexpected."

"Oh, don't you want to see me suffer because of the constraints of morality and take pleasure in it? If I really show that, wouldn't that be fulfilling your wish?"

Lin Shangren spread his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm much stronger than you think, and so is she. She's stronger than anyone else, silently enduring all of this, suppressing herself and not daring to reveal her pain. She's so kind that she'd sacrifice herself for others. She and I won't be defeated by this perverted game."

What Hehuan didn't notice was that when Lin Shangren said this, he was not facing her, but facing the glass curtain wall.

"So... you will continue to choose Fan Qiye later?" Hehuan asked.

"That's really worth looking forward to. What happens next might be very interesting."

"Even if the game conditions get more and more extreme, we can definitely persevere. I believe in Ye. Even if the gameplay becomes more and more perverted, she can definitely endure it."

"Eh?!"

Fan Qiye, who had been secretly observing Lin Shangren and Hehuan, couldn't help but tighten her legs upon hearing this. According to the bet she and Hehuan had made, the next game would indeed gradually become more intense.

Originally, Fan Qiye didn't care about this. After all, everything was done through a virtual body, so he could just block out the perception or log out consciously. But now, an unknown bug has appeared in the park system, and the virtual experience will directly affect the body...

"It seems that I can only endure it..."

In the real world, Hokariya walked towards the incubator in the center of the laboratory. Looking at the girl soaking in nutrient solution, she whispered, "To truly become 'Sleeping Beauty,' one must completely despair of the real world. But even in despair, one must never die. Sleeping Beauty must escape into the beautiful dream she weaves, becoming an existence whose only purpose is to watch happy dreams..."

"I don't know why he became your hope... but fate must be on my side. Whether it's your birth or... his sudden appearance."

"All of this is for me... so that I can create a new Eden for mankind... a true paradise created by me, Hokariha. Therefore, it's all worth it."

Fan Qiye walked briskly to Lin Shangren's side. Looking at the young man immersed in the nutrient solution, she gave him a creepy smile. "You've always believed in me... right? I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of despair you'll have when the truth is revealed."

Chapter 17: Another restart? Isn't that annoying?

"Ugh... huh... the rope... the rope is so tight... Shangren, it hurts... can you... loosen it a little?"

With her hands tied behind her back, Fan Qiye knelt on the ground. Due to the requirements of the rules, her butt, which was raised towards Lin Shangren, was shaking restlessly.

Rules of the second round of games:

[Keyhole: Female]

[Number of times: 2]

[Note: forced, tied, spanking]

Lin Shangren looked at Fan Kariye's body quietly. The hemp rope was deeply tied into her body. It could be imagined that her fair body under her sailor uniform must have been branded with deep red marks.

“Nice expression.”

Lin Shangren lifted up Fan Qiye's pleated skirt and reached out to her pure white cotton underwear. He gently stroked it, making a rustling sound...

"Spanking, or SP for short, simply means spanking. It's a form of sadomasochism in the alpha male community... Sometimes I wonder if the instinct for slavery is built into some human genes. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why some people enjoy being slaves and being spanked.

Obviously, independent self and free will are such precious things."

Lin Shangren felt the silky texture of the soft fabric, then suddenly grabbed it and shoved it hard between her buttocks, forming a T-shape. Fan Qiye's snow-white and soft buttocks were exposed in front of him.

"Ye, I'm going to start fighting."

"Eh?"

Snapped! ! !

A crisp sound rang out as the buttocks vibrated, and Lin Shangren's hands felt a little numb, and at the same time a bright red handprint appeared.

"Ah! Ugh...it hurts...ah...why, why do you want to spank me? Ugh..."

"That's the rule of the game."

Looking at Fan Qiye's face twisted with pain and shame, Lin Shangren felt a strange feeling in his heart, an indescribable one. He suddenly felt his whole body heating up.

"You can dominate others without restriction, hurt others, feel no guilt at all... and vent violence at will. Hee... It's just a taste of this virtual world, so it doesn't matter what happens, right?"

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped! ! !

“It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! Ugh…Ah…”

The continuous beating caused Fan Qieye to emit high-pitched and painful cries.

With messy hair, Ye was whimpering because of the constant spankings, with big tears in his eyes. His butt, which had nowhere to escape, became red and swollen, and was cramping slightly.

“Stop…ah…it hurts…please forgive me…wuwuwu…”

"What should I forgive you for?"

"Uh... no... I don't know... ah!"

"Do I have the potential to be a sadist?"

Looking at Fan Qiye's miserable appearance, Lin Shangren stopped beating him. However, he had not forgotten his original plan. He wanted to use this game to make Fan Qiye unconscious, and then use this time to ask Hehuan for information.

"The door to the game room is currently closed. The best opportunity to see her is after the game is complete. To prevent her from discovering anything unusual after waking up, it seems the game will have to be more intense."

Having made up his mind, Lin Shangren gently took off Fan Qiye's underwear:

"Sorry, Ye-chan. Um... could you lend me your remaining sock?"

"Huh? W-what, what..."

"After all, we're really going to do that this time. If we don't have any insurance, what if Yiye gets pregnant..."

"!!!"

Fan Qiye was completely stunned. Who would use cotton socks as a penis? This guy must be a pervert, right?

Lin Shangren took off Ye's cotton socks while speaking slowly, "With a layer of barrier, Ye will feel a little better psychologically, right? After all, in the eyes of some girls, wearing it doesn't count, and not moving or not being pregnant doesn't count either."

"What kind of perverse logic is this?!"

Fan Kariye almost cursed out loud, but the role she was playing now was supposed to be Lin Shangren's gentle and considerate childhood sweetheart, so she had to speak gently:

"It's okay... If it's Naoto-kun, I'm willing to do it. Even if I get pregnant with Naoto's child, it doesn't matter. In fact, I'll be very happy... After we escape together, we can get married right away, how about that?" (Not-so-old trivia: Before 2018, the legal marriage age for women in Japan was sixteen.)

In the real world, Fan Kariya suppressed the feeling of nausea. It was really disgusting to say such words to someone who wanted to rap him.

However, compared to what she had done over the years to complete the Paradise System, and compared to the massacre she had carried out three days ago, this was nothing.

"Come on, do it. Fall deeply in love with me, from soul to body. Let's 'escape' from this game together, and then be captured by Manaka Kagawa. Let her torture us and kill me... Then, you will hate her and kill her with your own hands!"

Fan Qiye stared at Lin Shangren's real body:

"Trading a virtual experience for real-life achievements is a win for me. As for you... one of you will become the new Sleeping Beauty, and the other will become a beast! Come on, come on, come on!"

"Let's get started, Ye."

"Ahhhh!!!"

Fan Kariye screamed at the same time in reality and in the virtual world. The intense stimulation hit her cerebral cortex, making it almost impossible for her to think.

"Gu... How could this happen... Is it your fault?"

Fan Kariya looked viciously at a wall in the laboratory where a defective "Sleeping Beauty" was "placed".

"Once the perfect Sleeping Beauty is finished, I will definitely destroy you... ka... ahhhh!"

Wave after wave of intense stimulation began to continuously impact Fan Qiye's consciousness. She suddenly fell to the ground, arched her waist high, and raised her legs.

“Stop… stop…”

Unfortunately, human instincts are not subject to willpower. The gentle liquid that flowed out soaked her skirt. Judging from the color, she must have been feeling a bit irritated recently.

……

"Huh...huh..."

Looking at Fan Kariye lying on the ground, gasping for air but not breathing in, Lin Shangren was sure that she must have lost consciousness. After all, he had used the Eagle Finger at the last moment, and the effect of that finger had changed from "so good that you squirt" to "so good that you faint."

[Unlocking conditions being determined...]

[Judgment: Complete]

[The door lock of the location is unlocked.]

The door opened and everything went according to Lin Shangren's plan.

Li Xiang, who was guarding the door, saw Lin Shangren carrying Fan Kariye out:

"Ah, they're coming out! What happened to Sister Ye?"

"Rika, take care of her."

Hayashi Naoto handed Hokariya's body to Rika and Ando Miyako, then walked straight towards Hehuan:

"Hehuan, I have something to tell you."

"Why? Are you going to hold me responsible? Because I led you to choose your beloved childhood sweetheart, and now she's in trouble. So, you want to hold a vicious woman like me responsible."

"No. I know everything. This world is fake. It's the Paradise System. Hokariya is the mastermind behind it. You are the Sleeping Beauty at the heart of the Paradise System. Although I lost three days of memory, I know something must have happened to us during those three days. Something happened to me, and you chose to play this game to save me. But don't worry, I won't die. I just want to know if our consciousness will be affected if we forcibly paralyze the Paradise System from the inside."

"Fool…"

Hehuan pushed Lin Shangren away.

"Why can't you do it as I designed?"

"what?"

Lin Shangren was shocked. Could it be that the information he had deduced before was wrong?

Suddenly, Hehuan hugged Lin Shangren again and kissed him deeply on the mouth.
