An infinite journey starting from paradise

Thanks to the knowledge of red magic he gained from Tokita Misaki, Hayashi Naoto was finally able to break the barrier protecting Koizumi Akako and enter the witch dimension where she was hiding.

Lin Shangren was soaring above Jianggutian, clutching the "Spoon Killer's Spoon." This seemingly unremarkable silver metal spoon would point to the direction of the person the user desired. Once the target was found, the user would strike them with the spoon until it broke. Once broken, the spoon would self-repair within 24 hours.

At this time, the spoon was pointing directly to a forest behind Ekoda High School. It seemed that Koizumi Akako was hiding there.

Lin Shangren landed on the ground, the spoon in his hand floating in mid-air thanks to the levitation stone ring, pointing like a compass to the depths of the forest. Lin Shangren walked in the direction the spoon pointed. Before he found Koizumi Hongzi, he encountered another beautiful girl. Who was it? Nakamori Aoko.

At this time, Nakamori Aoko was kneeling in front of an ancient tree with tangled roots, with her hands clasped together as if praying for something.

She was praying to this ancient tree, which was said to be quite powerful, for her father, Ginzo Nakamori, and her childhood sweetheart, Kaito Kuroba.

Because Hayashi Naoto's arrest of Kid was so effortless, the local police in Ekoda, in an effort to save face, pushed Nakamori Ginzo out as a scapegoat. Although Hayashi Naoto ultimately cleared Nakamori of suspicion as an accomplice of Kaito Kid, the police still detained him on charges of dereliction of duty and embezzlement of public resources.

With the two most important men in her life imprisoned, Nakamori Aoko naturally weeps every day. She wants to help, but doesn't know where to start, so she can only turn to these illusory things for help.

However, those supernatural things are illusory in other purely materialistic worlds, but they exist in this world in a real way.

Aoko Nakamori's prayer did attract the attention of a certain existence, and this would completely change her destiny.

Chapter 402: An Unfair First Meeting

“Knock knock~”

Next to Nakamori Aoko who was kneeling on the ground praying, the quantum ghost Lin Shangren knocked on the air in front of the ancient book a few times.

As Lin Shangren knocked, ripples like water waves spread in the air in front of him, and the space in front of him seemed to become distorted.

Nakamori Aoko, who was kneeling on the ground and praying with her eyes closed, only felt a breeze blowing in front of her eyes. She opened her eyes and saw the same sturdy and strong ancient book in front of her, but this time the ancient tree seemed to have undergone some changes that she could not explain.

"Is it an illusion? Or did the gods hear my prayers?" A strange feeling arose in Nakamori Aoko's heart.

The "god" had indeed heard her prayers, and if nothing unexpected happened, her father would be released and go home in a few days.

Lin Shangren has also entered the witch space where Koizumi Hongzi is hiding.

Unlike a half-baked witch like Tokita Misaki, Koizumi Akako, the orthodox descendant of red magic, possesses a much larger witch space: it is a floating island as big as ten football fields, surrounded by twisted red-leaf forests, guarding the scarlet and dark Gothic castle in the center of the floating island, and a blood-red crescent moon hanging above the castle.

"Castlevania, huh? Do you want me to grab a whip and cosplay as a Belmont?"

Lin Shangren spread his senses, intending to test the enemy's strength. Suddenly, the ferocious-looking crimson forest before him stirred, as if alive. The trees twisted and shifted, creating a wide path through the middle like Moses parting the sea. The crimson leaves from the giant trees on either side of the path fluttered down, weaving a long, long red carpet across the ground.

Lin Shangren thought, "Oh? Are they welcoming me?"

[You're already telling dirty jokes before we even meet, you're such a jerk.]

"Huh? Not... some dirty joke?"

Lin Shangren was still trying to argue with his bat lady when he heard a burst of devilish laughter "Hahahahaha~hahahaha~" coming from far away.

Lin Shangren looked up at the source of the sound and saw a flock of crows flying towards the castle, carrying a magnificent throne inlaid with gems. On the throne, Koizumi Hongzi, wearing her classic midriff-baring witch costume, sat with her legs crossed, her face hidden and a smile gazing in Lin Shangren's direction.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, Mr. Evil God from Another World. You don't seem as terrifying as Lucifer described you to be."

Koizumi Akako's attitude is very arrogant, but her voice has a kind of enchanting charm that is enough to make those with weak minds easily indulge in it and find it difficult to extricate themselves.

"Should I say that she is worthy of being a beauty who claims that all men in the world are her captives? Although she is not very old, her demeanor... is quite arrogant." Lin Shangren thought to himself.

[That’s right, flying so high and still wearing a skirt, aren’t you afraid of people seeing under your skirt?]

Lin Shangren didn't have the habit of looking up when talking to people, and Koizumi Hongzi didn't seem to want to be left behind. So, with his right hand in his pocket, Lin Shangren gently grasped the handle of Bear Grylls's Hunting Knife.

In an instant, the pressure from the top of the food chain, centered around Lin Shangren, was unleashed, sweeping across like a cold front. The crows carrying Koizumi Hongzi's throne screamed and scattered, some even perishing with fright, plummeting to death.

Not only the crows that were scared to death by Lin Shangren were free falling from the sky, but also Koizumi Hongzi and the throne under her buttocks were falling.

Although Koizumi Anko's throne was able to float due to its inherent flight magic, and the crows were merely decorative, the almost condensed pressure was so terrifying that even Koizumi Anko was horrified and stopped casting magic, causing the throne to fall uncontrollably.

"Boom!"

The throne fell straight down not far in front of Lin Shangren, and Koizumi Hongzi also fell flat on her face due to inertia. Although she was not injured, she was still in a mess. The golden snake heads that decorated her shoulders and head were crooked, and she was also covered with a lot of dust and crow feathers.

"It hurts..."

Koizumi Akako rubbed her buttocks which had been shaken badly, and the queenly demeanor she had just displayed was gone.

"Clean and new."

Lin Shangren snapped his fingers, seemingly casting a spell, but in reality, he was merely using a thin layer of black shadow to cleanse the dust from Koizumi Hongzi's body. He also checked to see if she was carrying any weapons. As for her three-dimensional form, Lin Shangren naturally didn't touch it. After all, it was obvious at a glance that his eyes were his ruler.

"Are you okay?" Lin Shangren asked, "Did I scare you?"

"I'm… fine."

Koizumi Akako stood up as if nothing had happened, but her expression was as impatient as a cat squatting on a hot tin roof and calling for sex.

"This... this is the way we witches show our respectful hospitality to our distinguished guests. That's it!" Koizumi Hongzi said with a blushing face.

Looking at Koizumi Akako who was trying hard to save face, Lin Shangren felt that she must have some kind of middle school syndrome.

[She's a witch after all. It's normal for her to be a little bit crazy.]

Koizumi Hongzi raised her long hair, trying to regain her queenly demeanor. She asked Lin Shangren in a slightly arrogant tone, "I wonder if Mr. Evil God has come to me to ask me something?"

Seeing that Koizumi Akako still maintained this attitude, Hayashi Naoto also got playful. He pulled out his police ID from his pocket and showed it to Koizumi Akako, saying, "Special Inspector Hayashi Naoto of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department is arresting Koizumi Akako in connection with the Kaito Kid serial theft case. You have the right to remain silent. If you do not remain silent, everything you say can be used as evidence in court. You have the right to hire a lawyer during your trial. If you cannot afford an attorney, we can hire one for you. Do you fully understand your rights?"

After a smooth Miranda warning, Hayashi Shangren started by using shadow control to handcuff Koizumi Akako.

[Well done, making her choose between jail and becoming a dua-lang! This is exactly what I wanted to see!]

Furulu was very excited, and Koizumi Akako was also dazzled by Lin Naoto's dazzling operations.

No, this isn't right, is it? Where's the supposedly beautiful, cunning, and resourceful witch versus the evil god from another world? What the hell are you doing?!

"what are you doing?!"

Koizumi Anko tried to use magic to break free from the handcuffs, but these seemingly ordinary handcuffs were entangled in her wrists like a maggot, as if they had grown into her body. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get them free.

"Alright. Come with me and cooperate with the investigation, Ms. Koizumi." Lin Shangren said in a businesslike tone, opening the entrance to the witch space. He then pulled out a piece of black cloth from the shadow space. "Although there's no one outside, I still have to ask according to the rules. Do you need to cover your hands with handcuffs or cover your face?"

"Hey? Are you serious? Stop, stop, stop, let me go!" Koizumi Hongzi said in panic, "You are the evil god, and I am a witch! This isn't how we interact, is it? Let me go, don't you have questions for me? This isn't necessary, is it?"

"First of all, I'm a human being, a genuine human being," Lin Shangren said. "Also, it's the same thing as asking questions in the interrogation room. It's more likely that you'll be able to explain more clearly once you're in the regret chair."

"No...how do you behave like a normal person? And I'm a witch! A witch!" Koizumi Akako argued.

"What's wrong with being a witch? Aren't witches human? Can't witches be arrested by the police? That doesn't make sense." Lin Shangren said, "I advise you to confess and get leniency. I have a wife who was once the chief judge of the Inquisition. If I were to interrogate you, the most I'd do would be to use the legendary killing stick. If it were her, she'd have to show off her talent. Have you heard of 'Hammer of the Witches'?"

Seeing that Lin Shangren didn't seem to be joking, Koizumi Hongzi finally softened her stance. She said, "Mr. Evil God, I know you must have questions for me. For example, about the origins of witches and the history of this strange world. There's no need for us to be so hostile. We can go to my castle and talk slowly. I predicted your arrival, and I've already prepared some refreshments..."

[Sleepy tea and spiked chocolate, huh? Boss, she's trying to rape you. I suggest you strike first. Give her a quick, easy, and powerful blow to dampen her spirit.]

"You're just... learning dirty talk in my head, aren't you?"

Faced with the seemingly excited Fururulin Naoto felt a little helpless, but he still accepted Koizumi Akako's suggestion. He was still quite curious about how many "surprises" this little girl in front of him had prepared for him.

Author's words: Visiting relatives is so troublesome...ahhhh

Chapter 403: Don’t try to force me!

Dim candlelight, towering ceilings, intricate and gorgeous chandeliers, mottled murals and stained glass windows on the walls - Koizumi Akako's residence is indeed no different from the castles where the dark nocturnal nobles live in traditional vampire literature.

But her castle was too empty. Along the way, Lin Shangren didn't see any living creatures here except a few crows and bats.

"Where is your servant?" Lin Shangren asked.

Hearing Lin Shangren's question, Koizumi Hongzi, who had originally had a gloomy face, suddenly smiled. She answered the question irrelevantly: "Ha, I knew it, I must have servants."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lin Shangren was a little curious.

"I mean, I don't have a servant right now, but in the eyes of you, the evil god from outside the domain, I should have one. That means I was indeed destined to have a servant, which matches my original divination results." Koizumi Hongzi said with some pride, "I said my divinations can't be wrong."

Koizumi Akako's words were a bit complicated, but Lin Shangren still understood her consciousness and also understood an important message. Koizumi Akako knew that this world was constantly being rewritten.

Koizumi Hongzi continued to ask, "Hey, was my original servant an intelligent, elegant, and ageless dark elf elder sister?"

"No, he's a loyal old dwarf butler," Lin Shangren replied. "He probably looks like this."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren took out the dragon-shaped green gem from the shadows. The jade emitted a blue light, and then, like a holographic projection, a three-dimensional image of a bald dwarf in a gray suit wearing a butler's suit was projected in the air.

The Dragon Head Jade, a treasure retrieved by Lin Shangren from the basement of the Stained Glass House, was originally a secret treasure belonging to Princess Kaguya. Its function is to create virtual projections and even illusions. According to the results of the Eye of Innocence, the Dragon Head Jade may have other effects, but these can only be unlocked after collecting another secret treasure of Princess Kaguya.

"Is that what it looks like? It's really... a bit disgusting." Koizumi Hongzi said with a hint of disgust, "But it's better than nothing. If I have someone to help me, everything will be much easier."

As they talked, the two walked into a reception room in the castle. Because she was still handcuffed, Koizumi Hongzi had to use some effort to open the door.

"Hey, can you take this thing off now? I've already agreed to cooperate with you." Koizumi Akako raised her hand and gently struggled with the silver handcuffs that were handcuffed to her wrists.

"Okay. But..."

"but?"

Just as Koizumi Hongzi was about to ask Lin Shangren if he had any other conditions, she felt a gust of wind brush her cheek and a flash of silver light passed before her. Then, with a snap, the handcuffs broke apart, and a broken spoon head bounced high under the reaction force, finally hitting Koizumi Hongzi on the head.

"It hurts! Hey, what are you doing..."

"Okay, we can talk frankly." Lin Shangren interrupted Koizumi Hongzi's complaints, and he teleported to a sofa and sat down safely.

Looking at the still gentle black tea and heart-shaped chocolates on the table, Lin Shangren couldn't help but smile: "You should know that these things have no effect on me, right? This kind of chocolate will make you devoted to you once you eat it."

"I don't have any other refreshments here, so I can only treat you with this." Koizumi Hongzi forced a smile as she sat down opposite Lin Shangren and crossed her legs.

"I see." Lin Shangren picked up a piece of chocolate and ate it. "It tastes good. By the way, I remember that you developed a crush on Kuroba Kaito because your charm and chocolate had no effect on him, right?"

"hehe."

Koizumi Hongzi just sneered and didn't intend to continue the conversation. She asked back, "You don't want to ask such a boring question, do you?"

"Just asking casually," Lin Shangren replied, "Then let's get to the point. First question, how did you know I came from another world? Did you ask that magic mirror or that so-called Lucifer?"

In the original work of "Magic Kaito", Koizumi Akako has a magic mirror similar to the one that Snow White's stepmother has, and she often asks the magic mirror questions such as "Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?"

In addition to the magic mirror, Koizumi Hongzi often uses some magic rituals to summon a demon named "Lucifer", asking him various questions or borrowing his power to cast magic.

"Or maybe some other kind of god?"

"It was Lucifer," Koizumi Hongzi replied. "It was the time you captured that Kidd guy. I was just casually fortune-telling to see if he was in danger. Lucifer, like a madman, reminded me not to do such fortune-telling and that it would be best not to have any contact with you. I'd better stay away from him, otherwise..."

"otherwise?"

"Huh." Koizumi Hongzi sighed. "It's no use hiding anything from you anyway, right? Even if I lie, you can't escape my sight. If you want, you can just invade my mind and read all my memories. In front of you... I'm probably just like an ant?"

"You're saying this as if you're some unreasonable monster."

"Haha, people who break into other people's homes and handcuff them are indeed very reasonable." Koizumi Hongzi said sarcastically.

"Yes, it's not only about reason, but also about the law. If I arrest someone, I can still talk about physics. Have you heard of the legend of the killing stick?" Lin Shangren said with a smile.

[You're right. I think she's in trouble again.]

For some reason, Fururu is particularly hostile towards Koizumi Akako.

"whispering sound…"

Suddenly, Koizumi Hongzi laughed again: "Haha, indeed, a terrifying evil god like you actually acts according to human laws. That's quite reasonable indeed."

"So, let's all be honest. At least we can keep it off the surface." Lin Shangren then asked, "Go on. What else did Lucifer say? What would have happened if you hadn't hidden from me?"

"He...He said..." When she said this, Koizumi Hongzi's cheeks suddenly turned red.

"Why? Can't you tell me? What's the restriction?" Lin Shangren asked. "How about you summon it out and I'll talk to it myself."

"Huh..." Koizumi Hongzi took a deep breath, "There's nothing to be ashamed of, it's not true..." she muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Lin Shangren asked.

"I said, if I don't avoid you, I will become a gift from the world to please you." Koizumi Hongzi said with a blushing face.

"A gift from the world to please me?" Lin Shangren was a little confused. "What does this mean?"

"I just want to be your plaything, give birth to your children..." Koizumi Hongzi's voice gradually became smaller, but her face became redder and redder. This was certainly not because of shyness, but because of embarrassment and a little bit of...fear.

She continued, "Lucifer said that you are an evil god from a place beyond the knowledge of this world. All universes are just playthings to you, and... you are quite cruel and very... lustful."

"Uh..." Lin Shangren wanted to refute, but didn't know how to refute.

[Slander, absolute slander! It slanders you!]

"But...but I see you're so law-abiding, and you've even deliberately transformed yourself to play the police officer, and you're still talking about laws and regulations. You must be an evil god who's particularly abiding by the rules, right?

Although I am the most beautiful woman in the world, and all men will be fascinated by my beauty, it is reasonable for you, as an evil god, to want to take away this most shining star in the universe. But... you won't force me, right?" Koizumi Hongzi looked at Lin Shangren expectantly, as if hoping for a positive answer.

Lin Shangren didn't respond to Koizumi Hongzi's question, but instead asked, "What else did it say? By the way, what exactly is Lucifer? Are there any other evil gods in this world? Also, do you know the Mother Goddess? And what is Pandora? Do you know?"

"You...you really are attracted to me, right?" Koizumi Hongzi suddenly covered her chest. "You're deliberately avoiding me! Answer my question first!"

[Pushinnu, steamed shrimp heads.]
