An infinite journey starting from paradise

But how could my father give up? He'd practically given everything for the Paradise Project! So he secretly infiltrated the secret facility where Hehuan was being held. By the time the organization discovered this and rushed to the cave where Hehuan was being held, she was long gone.

But she didn't fall into my father's hands, but escaped. After all, my father's body was lying there, dead in a miserable state.

Someone rescued Hehuan and killed my father.

I still remember the appearance of my father's body when I was seven. His body was covered in bruises from being beaten, and his expression was terrifying, as if he had seen something horrific.

In the end, He Huan was recaptured, and the organization accepted my father's 'painful despair theory.' But, for some reason, He Huan just couldn't give up completely.

Until three years ago, when I took over the Paradise System project, I proposed to the organization that, instead of making He Huan despair, we should try to make her feel hopeful before pushing her into the abyss of despair.

So I orchestrated a fake rescue operation, freed Hehuan from the organization, arranged a guardian for her, and enrolled her in Rokugawa Academy, a test base controlled by the organization. I also entered the academy as a transfer student, approached Hehuan, and became good friends with her.

Two years passed like this, until she had completely adapted to normal life, until she felt the happiness of being an ordinary person. Only then could everything she cherished be torn apart in front of her and made her fall into despair.

So, three days ago, I arranged a massacre at Rokuqingguan Academy. I had the students who had spent every day with Hehuan kill each other in front of her, and then I, her best friend, would reveal the cruel truth.

Things should have developed like this, but you, the guy who called yourself Lin Shangren, accidentally entered the battle royale game. In the game, you saved Hehuan who was surrounded by crazy students, and she seemed to mistake you for the person who rescued her.

I have to admit, Mr. Lin, you're truly amazing. You were able to escape with her, even find the master transmitter controlling the student collars at the academy, and even track down me, the mastermind behind this. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful you are, you're only human. Poison gas, gunfire, anything would kill you.

You finally surrendered, and He Huan begged me not to hurt you. That's when I realized she had mistaken you for the spiritual pillar that had kept her alive for so many years.

This is a perfect opportunity to completely transform her into Sleeping Beauty. So, I've made a bet with her, threatening your life. I'll erase your memories, implant false ones, and then cast you into a virtual world. And Hehuan wants you to hate her, to hate her to the core. If you kill her with your own hands, filled with hatred, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, I'll kill you.

Being killed by her beloved and watching her beloved being killed were both enough to destroy He Huan's last vestiges of attachment to the real world. However, in order to save you, she agreed to this game. And you, as expected, killed her.

"So that's it..."

Everything was almost the same as what Lin Shangren had deduced in the virtual world, except that the missing part of the cause and effect was completed.

"Well, that's it anyway. You let me manipulate you like an idiot. So, after learning everything, how do you feel now, Shang Renjun?

Do you feel regretful?

In addition, I would like to add that the Ye you like, the gentle and lovely Ye, was played by me completely according to Hehuan's personality in real life. It can be said that the person you like is actually Hehuan, whom you killed with hatred.

So, can you forgive me?"

After all, I am your beloved childhood friend Ye-chan, eh, Shangren-kun~"

Fan Qiye wanted to disgust Lin Shangren again to avenge the humiliation of him making her incontinent, but Lin Shangren just smiled disdainfully:

"Don't you feel disgusted? Or is it that the smell of urine from your lower body has spread to your mouth?

Frankly speaking, with those two urine prints on your chest, you'd better stop talking in such a pretentious tone. No matter how saucy your words are, they can't cover up the stench of your incontinence."

"you…!"

"Me what? I'm so good, I can fuck you until you beg for mercy, until you twitch and piss all over the floor. You think I only fucked you in the virtual world, then can you explain why you're not wearing any panties right now? Is it because you peed and didn't have a change of clothes?"

It can only be said that Lin Shangren lived up to the system girl's evaluation of him as "speaking cleverly". With just a few personal attacks, he broke Fan Qiye's defense.

"Shut up, I wanted to spare your life, you'd better stop irritating me!"

Roaring angrily, Fan Qiye pointed the gun at Lin Shangren.

"What's wrong? Are you angry and embarrassed? Come to think of it, you don't have much time left, right?" Lin Shangren asked with a chuckle.

"What did you say?"

"You must have conducted this experiment without the organization's knowledge, right? The organization is unaware of what you've done."

Lin Shangren's words obviously shocked Fan Qiye.

"you…"

"How do I know? It's simple, the number of people. There were only five of us alive in the game just now. If you had the support of your so-called organization, there's no need for you to enter the game yourself and be beaten to death by me."

"Twice...you, can you tell that the last three memories are false?" Fan Kariya asked in shock.

Lin Shangren smiled slightly: "You don't really think that I am completely at your mercy in the virtual world? You don't really think that I deliberately used socks as condoms to prevent you from getting pregnant? You don't really think that I can't see that the fake world is virtual?"

He gently hooked his finger at Fan Qiye: "When did you get the illusion that I was under the influence of a mirage?"

Chapter 26: Stop talking nonsense and come straight to the point

The Sure Hit and Eagle Finger are activated at the same time, and the effect is set to "pain to the point of paralysis, while maintaining clear consciousness."

Before Fan Qiye could figure out what Lin Shangren meant by "mirror flowers and water moons", he personally experienced what it meant to "suck the marrow from the bones" and "crush the heart and cut open the liver" in the physical sense.

Listening to Hokariya's agonizing screams, Hayashi Shangren, in a rather childish way, ran his hand through his hair. While he didn't quite replicate the famous scene of the blue-dyed hairspray hand, he did have a new, jet-black eyepatch on his face.

[Bruce Hearn's Mask], this is the prop that Lin Shangren had drawn before. Its effect is to improve the user's foreign language learning ability and increase the user's success rate in persuading the opposite sex.

"System, the 'persuasion' in the item description couldn't be physical persuasion?" Lin Shangren asked in his heart.

It’s no wonder Lin Shangren has such doubts. Although this is his highlight moment of killing the villain, Lin Shangren just wants to mosaic himself now:

A naked man wearing only a blindfold approaches a beautiful girl who is lying on the ground without any resistance. This scene is indeed reminiscent of something that minors need to be accompanied by their parents to watch.

[Hmm… I can. Do you need me to help you adjust to physiological persuasion mode?]

"No need... I knew you weren't a serious system."

Lin Shangren shook his head, then walked casually towards Fan Qiye who was still twitching on the ground, picked up her pistol hanging on the ground, and checked the remaining bullets with ease.

"Koch P7, standard nine-round magazine, seven rounds remaining. Pretty good. You won't find it easily in the East Asian Knife Battle Room."

Thinking about it, Lin Shangren looked at Fan Qiye lying on the ground and asked, "How do you feel now? Do you feel like you're in excruciating pain but can't die?"

He squatted down and reached out to grab Fan Qiye's throat: "The pain is relieved."

“Ahem… Ugh…”

After recovering, Fan Qiye couldn't help but want to cough, but the strangled neck made it impossible for her to cough. She could only cough and swallow, her face flushed. But she didn't dare to struggle at all. The pain she had just felt was too terrible, and she didn't want to endure it again.

"Ms. Fan Qiye, now it's time for interrogation. I ask, you answer." Lin Shangren forced a kind smile, "You should know about something called 'empty pregnancy lactation agent', right? That thing is quite inhumane.

Although I don't have that thing, my ability can produce the same effect. So I hope you can cooperate with me, it will be good for both of us."

"You...what do you want to know? Ahhhhhh..."

The sharp pain shot through Fan Qiye's head again.

"I haven't given you permission to speak yet, Miss Hokariya." Lin Shangren gently caressed Hokariya's face, while at the same time increasing the pain she felt to a higher level. "Okay, now the first question, how do we wake up Teacher Aoi and Rika?"

……

After putting on his clothes, Lin Shangren placed the clothes in front of the sinks of Aoi Nanazuki and Makiwa Rika respectively. In five minutes, they would be able to leave the paradise system and wake up again in the real world.

Although they have been honest with each other in the virtual world, Lin Shangren still has to take care of the feelings of several ladies in reality.

As for Fan Kariha, while she was still alive, her current state… was hard to describe. It could only be described as a physical struggle between wanting to live and wanting to die. Lin Shangren's torture procedures were so complex that even the Gestapo would have to admit they were laymen.

[My Lord, now you only need to rescue Manaka Kazuaki and Byakuya Rinone to complete the second mission.]

"Ok, I know."

Lin Shangren took out the [Panacetamol] from the system backpack. Just as the item description said, this medicine that was said to be able to cure all injuries and illnesses looked very much like the "Immortal Orange Juice".

"Can this thing restore Linyin's body to a healthy state?" Lin Shangren asked.

[In theory, this potion can cure all injuries of intelligent creatures, except for "poverty" and "stupidity."]

[My Lord, this potion is extremely precious. Are you sure you want to use it on Bai Ye Lin Yin?]

Facing this little system that was pretending to be confused, Lin Shangren said meaningfully: "Save her first, we can discuss your problem later."

Lin Shangren walked in front of Lin Yin. This shapeless girl kept murmuring the same words over and over again like a broken music box: "So happy... so happy... so happy..."

Suddenly, Linyin's eyes widened, her expression twitching like an epileptic patient, her eyeballs almost popping out, tears gushing out, saliva hanging in thin threads from her slightly open mouth, she tried her best to say in a hoarse voice: "Kill... Kill... Kill me... Wuwu... Kill me..."

Lin Shangren gently wiped away Lin Yin's tears: "It's okay, you are saved. Drink it and you won't be in so much pain anymore."

"System, this thing can be customized to taste, right?"

Yes, my Lord.

"Then let's make it taste like the best orange soda in the world."

Lin Shangren fed the liquid in the element bottle into Linyin's mouth.

“Hmm… um…”

Rin, who was on the verge of death, groaned twice, and her two prosthetic arms suddenly fell off on their own. Thin tubes that looked like long black hair also began to fall off, and then her upper body, which was integrated into the paradise system, also fell off from the complicated mechanical pipes.

Lin Shangren hurriedly caught Rinyin. In Lin Shangren's arms, Bai Ye Rinyin experienced another birth of life. Her skin gradually became thin and pale, and her amputated limbs began to regenerate.

The whole process is not an instant recovery like in anime or games. The regeneration of bones, the extension of blood vessels, and the reorganization of flesh and blood are all visibly bloody... As you can imagine, this rebirth process is definitely not pleasant.

But Rin's expression was one of incomparable happiness and peace - on the one hand because of the joy of her new life, and on the other hand because Lin Shangren used the Eagle Finger to soothe her pain.

"It's okay now. So, I was right back then, wasn't I? Orange soda tastes amazing."

"Thank you...it's really delicious."

Lin Yin's voice was still a little hoarse, as if her new healthy vocal cords had not yet adapted to her new healthy vocal cords, but Lin Shangren could hear that the girl in his arms was truly feeling true happiness at this moment.

[Goal 2: Save Sleeping Beauty (50%)]

[As long as you rescue Zhen Zhong He Huan from the Paradise System, you can complete the second goal. ]

Lin Shangren didn't respond to the system immediately. He picked up Rin Yin like a princess and placed her on the empty laboratory table. Because Rin Yin hadn't adapted to her new limbs, Lin Shangren had to help her put on her clothes.

"I'm a little... embarrassed... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what to say in a situation like this... I... I'm sorry."

Faced with her new life, Rinyin was still a little overwhelmed.

Looking at the pitiful girl in front of him, Lin Shangren gently comforted her: "It's okay, just lie down and rest for a while. I will be away for a little while, maybe just a moment. Don't worry, anyway, you should rest for a while."

After comforting Lin Yin, Lin Shangren reorganized his equipment and abilities: a pistol with seven bullets left, a steel wool that could make him immune to attacks from rich women, a mask of China's own Batman, and two seemingly unconventional but actually very powerful skills.

"System, no need to install, just come directly."

【What...what are you talking about?】

"You are still pretending to be stupid with me. You are talking about traveling through time and space. Next, you must ask me to travel back in time, right?" Lin Shangren said as a matter of course.

"I only have one extra time slot to travel through time, and the people from that so-called organization will probably arrive here soon. In order to rescue everyone, you must guide me to complete the other two tasks.

The reward for goal two is likely a time-travel item that can only be used once, and the reward for goal three is a few time-travel slots. Am I right?"

[My Lord…?]

"Still pretending! I was definitely the one who rescued He Huan over ten years ago, otherwise she wouldn't have tried so hard to help me. Although I can't rule out the possibility that she fell in love with me at first sight when I came into this world three days ago, the first possibility is obviously more reasonable."

[Um...love at first sight or something...Excuse me, you have a bit of Puxin.]

"Of course I'm a trustworthy man, the most trustworthy man in the world!" Lin Shangren thought to himself, "Also, don't change the subject. My coming to this world is definitely not a coincidence, right?"

[Yes... yes, it was my fault... She deliberately exposed the coordinates of this world to me.]

[She, this universe, needs your intervention to perfect her entropy flow. I don't have the authority to tell you more details... Sorry, I'm so useless. π_π]

"Don't be so cute with me. Since you can't tell me everything right now, give me something concrete. Since the rewards for objectives two and three are fixed, then it can't be considered a reward, it can only be considered a quest item! I have to give it to you separately. Do you understand?"

Can they be combined into one?

"Ok?"

[Okay, my lord. In addition to the original mission reward, I'll give you two extra five-shot combos. Is that okay with you? I really can't afford any more.]

"Okay." Lin Shangren nodded. "I know you must have your own difficulties. A system like yours with its own will will most likely encounter various difficulties. It's not easy for us all. Now that we're bound together, we should help each other..."

[Don't try to pua me...it's scary.]

"Ugh, boring."

Lin Shangren rubbed his neck and walked straight towards Hehuan.

"Disconnect and drain the nutrient solution..."

The girl in the palace-shaped device was still sleeping. Lin Shangren looked at her quietly and said softly, "I will go to save you first, then come back to save you, and then I will take you to a world that is not so bad..."

[Goal 2: Save Sleeping Beauty (100%)]

Congratulations on receiving: "Drunken Man's Crossing Rules x1", and 5 draw opportunities.

"Stop talking nonsense and just come."

Lin Shangren gripped the pistol at his waist tightly.
