An infinite journey starting from paradise

While arguing with Fululu in his mind, Lin Shangren used the black shadow to take off all his clothes.

"Take a bath first, then...hiss..."

Lin Shangren raised his head and met the eyes of Nogami Saeko, who looked astonished.

"Um...sorry, I didn't expect you to be showering at this hour. I forgot to check before teleporting. Sorry, I'll be leaving right away."

Saeko Nogami did not make a sharp sound like an ordinary innocent girl, but just reached out and took the bath towel and quickly wrapped her body.

"No need, I've already washed it." Nogami Saeko suppressed her embarrassment and said in a calm tone, "By the way, Inspector Lin, could you please bring the luggage in the trunk of my car with you? Reika and I have our spare clothes in there."

Adhering to the principle that if the other party is not embarrassed, then I am not embarrassed either, Lin Shangren did not show any signs of being embarrassed. He said, "I have brought your car back. It is downstairs. I have also removed the tire cable wrapped around the axle... Wait, Saeko, your eyes..."

"What's wrong with my eyes?" asked Saeko Nogami.

"Hmm... it's a bit difficult to explain. To put it simply, it might be because of the healing potion you drank. You have become a demon hunter now. Just like me..."

As Lin Shangren spoke, the gray in front of his pupils disappeared, revealing the lion-like golden pupils inside.

“My eyes…?”

Nogami Saeko walked to the sink and checked her eyes in the mirror.

"It turned golden... How could this happen? Then what about my current body..."

"Don't worry, this is a good thing and it won't harm your body. From now on, your body's functions will far exceed human limits. You will remain forever young and even be able to use magic."

Lin Shangren walked to the side of Nogami Saeko, and while explaining, he drew a triangle with his hand and ignited a small fireball with the Igni Sign.

"Magic?"

"This is called the Igni Seal. There are four other commonly used seals."

"Um, Naoto-nii." Nogami Saeko suddenly interrupted Hayashi Naoto, her cheeks slightly red as she said, "Although your figure is indeed great and big, but...would you like to block it a little?"

"Ah…sorry about my question."

"I'd better step aside for now. Brother Shangren, let's talk after you take a shower."

With that, Nogami Saeko ran out of the bathroom as if escaping.

The sudden surge of information was difficult for Nogami Saeko to process. She hated the feeling of being completely overwhelmed and out of control. She needed to calm down for a while.

Seeing Nogami Saeko leave the bathroom, Lin Shangren put down the towel he had pulled out from the shadows. But his eyes fell on Nogami Saeko's clothes in the laundry basket.

Don't get me wrong, Lin Shangren was not looking at her azure bra and panties, but the throwing knives on her belt and the Sakura revolver in her inner pocket.

Since Nogami Saeko has also become a witcher, Lin Shangren has to prepare some weapons for her to defend herself.

It's not just Nogami Saeko. Since this kind of supernatural monster has begun to appear in this world, the security of Hehuan and the others must also be strengthened, especially for ordinary people like Kisaki Eri and Kujo Reiko. Just a bat familiar may not be enough.

"Looks like I'll have to get some gear, or maybe hurry up and kill that so-called 'Wind God' and his entire family," Lin Shangren pondered. "While it's confirmed that elements of 'Sword Hero Legend' exist in this world, the tone of this world might be quite different from the original. If the star-bursting Kaguya-sama and the underground people who possess countless advanced technologies really exist, dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult."

The trouble lies with the so-called 'Mother Goddess.' She uses those seeds of desire to constantly rewrite and modify this world's reality, and uses Kuroya Naori, a being from another universe, as an observer to freeze the history she has modified, transforming the world into its current state.

[What's wrong with being like this? If it weren't for Kuroya Naori and your severed arm, Michael Heinz might have died in World War II, and there would have been no three sisters in the afterlife.

Not only that, but even the descendants of ancient monument guardians like Kuroba Chikage wouldn't exist. Without your severed hand, it's unclear whether the distillery could research Drug A. Without Drug A, Conan's story wouldn't even begin...

From this perspective, it seems that the Mother Goddess is shaping this world in a direction that is beneficial to you.]

"Objectively speaking, this is true, but I don't know what He thinks subjectively. For example, this time, why did He want to lead me to the church in Liujiao Village?" Lin Shangren pondered.

[Are you saying that the frog man's attack on Nogami Saeko and the others was actually a trap set to lure you?]

"What else? Since the Prajna family fled Liujiao Village so early, it means they are afraid of direct confrontation with me. And if Prajna Feng is really important to the Prajna family, he wouldn't be left alone and neglected, even to the point of becoming a pickpocket.

If they really wanted to rescue Banruofeng for some reason, there would be no need to do it like this.

Yet they had to use Frog Man, a newly born monster, to kidnap Hannya Feng with such fanfare at this very moment. And there weren't any Hannya ninjas among the carjackers. Doesn't this just prove they want to lure me to the church in Rokkaku Village, but are also afraid I might actually gain intelligence on them through Hannya's members? And they know to be wary of my Heart Shadow… This must be the Mother Goddess guiding them again," Lin Shangren analyzed.

[So you want to go over and take a look?]

"This is going to trouble you, my lovely bat girl. In addition to complaining, using mugwort and serving as a reserve energy source, you also have to play some other role, don't you?" Lin Shangren said, taking out the familiar ring from the shadows.

[You want me to be a scout, right? What's the reward?]

"I'll get you an alchemical body right away."

[make a deal!]

"Then come on."

Lin Shangren put on the belt driver and summoned Fururu in the form of amethyst bat. At the same time, he activated the ability of "Schrödinger's Cat" in the [Four Beasts Dice] to turn her into a quantum ghost.

"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

Chapter 389 Tangled

Half an hour later, in the restaurant on the second floor of Misaki Doll Workshop.

Lin Shangren has already briefly explained the current situation to the Nogami sisters.

For Nogami Reika, although the current situation is complicated, it doesn't seem to have much to do with her.

Isn't it true that the handsome, young, wealthy, and powerful blind date that his father found for his eldest sister is actually a magician from another world who is more powerful than God?

Isn't it just that my eldest sister drank the blood of her blind date and became a witcher who is eternally young and can use magic?

What does this have to do with Reika Nogami?

"Yeah, why does it have nothing to do with me?!"

Looking at the white porridge and red ginger in the bowl, Nogami Rika let out a hysterical roar in her heart.

Seeing Nogami Reika staring at the bowl, Wuguo beside her asked with concern: "Is it not to your taste? Do you want to try something else? There are some soup dumplings in the refrigerator."

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I just...just...ah..."

Unable to find the right words to say, Nogami Rika picked up the bowl with a bit of grief and indignation, and drank the porridge in one gulp as if she wanted to turn the discomfort in her heart into appetite.

"Woo...Haoci, another bowl..."

"Ok."

Wuguo took the bowl and smiled as she filled another bowl for Nogami Reika. She then said to Mizaki Ming, "Ming, can you let these two sisters rest in your room for a while?"

"Yeah." Jian Qiming nodded, then put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I'm full. Then I'll go to school first. The classes should be re-assigned today."

"Be careful on the road. The lunch box is already in your schoolbag. Remember to eat well." Wuguo said.

It’s been a long time since mother-daughter interaction. After what happened last night, Wuguo has completely transformed from a “complaining woman” to a “good wife and mother”.

"I understand." Jian Qiming smiled faintly.

"Wait a mininute."

Lin Shangren called out to Jian Qiming, and then took out a tube of his own blood from the shadow.

"Next time you see Misaki, remember to ask her to drink this. It's good for her health."

Although the root cause of the disaster has been eradicated by Hayashi Naoto, Fujioka Misaki should not suffer from leukemia again, but it is better to let her drink Hayashi Naoto's blood first just in case.

"it is good."

Jian Qiming took the test tube and said goodbye to his "parents" and Yura and Misan one by one.

Looking at Jian Qiming's back and the test tube she put in her school bag, Nogami Reika felt even more complicated. Such a precious thing, can you really give it to someone just by saying so?

The opportunity to stay young and immortal is right in front of you. It would be a lie to say that you are not envious.

but……

"After all, it has nothing to do with me, so why think so much? I really don't want to be involved in this abnormal situation."

Now let’s eat.

Nogami Reika lowered her head again.

Yura, who was sitting across from Nogami Reika, saw her like this and asked, "Are you worried about something... or are you troubled?"

Yura herself certainly had no ill intentions in asking this question, she just didn't understand the basic social etiquette very well, and because of her own ability to empathize with others, she felt bad for Nogami Reika.

But when Nogami Rika was asked this question, her face suddenly turned red.

"I... this... oops..."

Nogami Reika couldn't form a suitable response. She wanted to ask Lin Shangren if there was any way to erase her memory of this morning, so that she could forget everything and return to her normal life.

But on second thought, this would be too selfish. The other person saved my life, and I haven't even done anything to repay him, but I'm thinking of severing ties with him. This is a bit too heartless.

"But I still can't help but envy my sister."

Rika Nogami turned her head and looked at Saeko Nogami, who was still a little confused.

At that moment, Lin Shangren suddenly emerged from the shadows, pulling out a row of throwing knives from his belt and placing them in front of Nogami Saeko. He said, "These are for you. I've modified them so they can easily penetrate the frog's skin. There's also a small magic device at the end that uses psychic energy to create a traction thread. I'll teach you how to use it later."

"This is so precious. Inspector Lin..."

Before Nogami Saeko could finish her words, Lin Shangren interrupted, "Didn't we agree that we'd be friends first and then siblings? How come my gift to you has actually strained our relationship?"

"But……"

Lin Shangren continued, "Now, listen to me first. Saeko, you became a police officer to punish evil and promote good, to uphold justice, right? You are a good person with self-control, right? Given your conditions, you will definitely be able to make good use of this power, right? In that case, why not just accept this gift and use this power to do what you have always wanted to do? This power will not hinder you from being a good police officer.

Furthermore, while your power originates from me, it wasn't something I gave you on my own initiative. Instead, it was a rare event that happened to you. In a sense, this is a gift from fate and me. You can deny fate face, but denying me face is unacceptable, right?

"I understand. I will use this power for good, Shangren-nii."

"That's right." Lin Shangren took out a large stack of documents from the shadows and placed them in front of Nogami Saeko.

"Brother Shangren, what is this?"

"We have evidence of drug trafficking by several major families in Liujiao Village, as well as a rough map of the marijuana fields within the village," Lin Shangren said. "I'll leave the criminal aspects to you. Remember to bring your colleagues from the Investigation Section along. I'll handle the supernatural aspects."

By the way, I have to go to the hospital to visit a patient later, so you guys will have to handle the police station on your own, Saeko."

"We'll figure this out, right, Reika."

“Oh…oh…”

Nogami Rika nodded, she looked at Lin Shangren, and finally held back her words.

"Maybe if I act coquettishly and say, 'Brother-in-law, can you let me drink that potion too? What if I can become a witcher?' I can really become like my sister. But... forget it..."

Nogami Reika lowered her head again, but Kamitsuki Yura's gaze towards her became increasingly intense...

……

Half an hour later, Bei Ye met at the hospital.

In the ward, Sanshin Reiko was pointing the amethyst ring on her ring finger at the morning sun outside the window. Looking at the dazzling light scattered by the amethyst, the figure of Lin Shangren appeared in her mind again.

"I'll be back after I solve the problem over there... You're lying."

Reiko Mikami rubbed her lower abdomen.

"After sleeping with him, he left a ring behind and ran off. What if I'm really pregnant with his child... I always feel like I'm following the script of the mother of the male protagonist in the hot-blooded comic..."

Just as Sanshin Reiko was daydreaming, a tall figure suddenly blocked the sunlight.

"Hey~ Are you thinking about me?" Lin Shangren asked.

“Eh…? You…”

Sanshen Lianzi was a little bit unbelievable. If it weren't for the amethyst ring on her hand, she would almost suspect that everything she had experienced with Lin Shangren before was just a dream she had in a deep coma. And now Lin Shangren really appeared in front of her.

"Because of other things that happened, I'm a day later than expected. I apologize." Lin Shangren said as he shook Sanshin Reiko's raised hand. "Let me see... Well, you're in perfect health. You can be discharged today."

"You are……"

"Hey, hey, you've accepted the ring and slept. You're not going to deny it now, are you?" Lin Shangren said, "By the way, I was a little concerned just now. What are you doing with that hand under the quilt? Why is it there? Could it be..."

"Lin Shangren!"

His overly familiar attitude and the clever use of language showed that it was definitely the Lin Shangren she was familiar with.

Sanshin Reiko suddenly sat up, grabbed Lin Shangren's hand that was holding hers, and bit it hard.

"Hey. Shut up." Lin Shangren felt helpless.

"Damn it! The world before I woke up was like the end of the world, with everything falling apart. I thought you were dead, sacrificing your life to reshape a world where no one would get hurt..."

Sanshin Reiko hugged Lin Shangren.

Lin Shangren scratched his head. "Well... I'm fine, and you and the others are fine too. The disaster has been eliminated. I'll help you get discharged from the hospital, and then we'll go to your house to pack your luggage."

"Pack your luggage?" Sanshen Lianzi was stunned.
