An infinite journey starting from paradise

Lin Shangren ignored the bewildered Ami and turned to look at Pisco, who was standing beside him. "Pisco, are there any new developments at the winery?"

When keywords such as assassinating politicians, manipulating the stock market, illegally manufacturing arms, kidnapping IT workers, and driving up rice prices came out of Pisco's mouth, one after another, more cruel than the other, Takuya Mifune on the side remained calm. It was Ami who finally came to her senses. This was right. This was the Black Organization she had in mind.

"Besides that, Vermouth seems to have returned to mainland Japan, and her purpose is unknown."

"Vermouth..."

Lin Shangren rubbed the back of his neck. He was very interested in this Thousand-Faced Witch.

Lin Shangren was interested in Vermouth because her body was a good model for research. Vermouth's eternal youth was due to Drug A, and in this world, Drug A's prototype was Lin Shangren's flesh and blood. Therefore, Lin Shangren was curious about what had happened to cause Vermouth's condition, whether it was reversible, and whether it could be replicated.

"Can you confirm her specific whereabouts?" Lin Shangren asked.

Pisker replied, "This is... difficult. I'll do my best, Boss."

"No need. I can handle this myself. Apart from her, are there any other developments in the winery?" Lin Shangren asked again.

"Yes... Also, Chianti, who was originally on a mission abroad, was suddenly transferred back to Japan. I'm still trying to figure out the reason."

"Is that so...Okay, what else?"

"That's all, Boss. The winery seems to be deliberately distancing themselves from me... You see..." Having said that, Piske became a little worried.

"Don't worry, you won't die until the great ideal of everyone having access to education and everyone having the opportunity to play is realized. And you, Mifune." Lin Shangren turned to look at Mifune Takuya standing beside him. "Do your best. The work you are responsible for now is related to the happiness and dreams of children. Okay, you guys continue. I'm leaving now. Take it."

After leaving behind a few design drawings and a small box of mineral water mixed with Lin Shangren's blood, Lin Shangren snapped his fingers and teleported himself and Ami Ening back to the building of Seven Star Entertainment Co., Ltd.

Suddenly engulfed in darkness, Amy was at a loss. When she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in an unfamiliar room. A pretty blonde girl was looking at her with a smile.

"Ah! Ikezawa Yuko?!"

Looking at the big star who suddenly appeared in front of her, Ami was still a little confused, but at this time she saw Ikezawa Yuko walking towards her quickly.

"Master~"

"Ah."

Lin Shangren reached out and ruffled Ikezawa Yuko's hair as if caressing a pet. He said, "Arrange a room for this little girl, and then take her to see Hehuan... Well, let's take her to see Maye so that Hehuan can rest a little longer. Just tell her that she is the person in charge of the game development department that I have chosen. I will explain the details to her when I come back."

"I see."

Yuko Ikezawa nodded slightly.

"Then leave it to you."

Leaving these words behind, Lin Shangren disappeared once again, leaving behind only the confused Ami and the smiling Ikezawa Yuko.

"Miss, please follow me."

“Oh…oh…”

Although she didn't understand the situation, the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, so Ami obediently followed Ikezawa Yuko.

On the other side, the winery's underground laboratory in Tokyo.

This is Lin Shangren's next destination. He wants to come here first to confirm Miyano Shiho's current situation, and at the same time, he wants to collect some recent intelligence about the organization from here.

However, the situation in the underground laboratory was beyond Lin Shangren's expectations.

Chapter 408: Incident

The brewery is an underground laboratory somewhere in Tokyo.

If nothing unexpected happens, now should be the researchers' break time.

Normally at this time, Miyano Shiho would first play with the white mice left over from the drug experiment, and then eat a sandwich covered with blueberry jam with hot coffee.

But in this story, it is impossible for there to be no accidents. In terms of the fact that there are no accidents, there have never been any accidents.

Miyano Shi's lab was locked from the inside. The coffee on the lab table was still steaming, and the mice in the sealed box still bore traces of finger touches. On the floor, next to a chair leg, lay a sandwich with two bites left in it.

Judging from the situation at the scene, it seemed that Miyano Shiho had suddenly encountered some strange incident and was forced to leave this absolutely completely sealed laboratory. To be able to do this, it must be that the other party possessed some kind of supernatural power.

The historical footage that Lin Shangren re-enacted using the power of Laplace's demon also proved this speculation.

Laplace's demon's vision showed that Miyano Shiho was indeed preparing her dinner. However, when she finished making the sandwich and was about to start enjoying it, a strange magic circle appeared under her feet. Then, a flash of purple light left only the sandwich that had been bitten.

"It's this magic circle again."

Lin Shangren froze the scene from the historical fragment of Laplace's demon's reversal. He carefully observed the magic circle that appeared at Miyano Shiho's feet.

The style and depiction logic of the magic circle are exactly the same as the magic circle that summoned Lin Shangren to Alfheim, with only slight differences in details.

During the days that Lin Shangren spent in Alfheim, he studied the magic book left by the Elf Saint Nanali and the magic book given to Noel before the sacred tree withered. He studied the summoning magic in it especially carefully, after all, it might be related to the so-called Mother Goddess.

With Lin Shangren's current mastery of elven magic, he could probably confirm that this was indeed a teleportation array leading to the world of Alfheim. The problem was, time in that world should have been frozen by Ashrose, so why would a array leading to that world appear here?

"Is it because of the time difference between the two worlds, or is there some other reason? Could it be that Xiao Ai's time stop function failed?"

Before Ashrose regained consciousness, Lin Shangren was afraid it would be difficult to find the answer to this matter. The more important question now was whether Miyano Shiho would encounter any accident.

"If the time stop in that world hasn't broken, then she shouldn't be in danger for the time being. If it doesn't, the familiar I left in her shadow can also temporarily protect her...if the enemy isn't too formidable." Lin Shangren pondered. "If the time stop doesn't break, then there's more to consider...Huh, I'm suddenly feeling a bit passive again."

Just at this moment, the door of Miyano Shiho's laboratory was suddenly forced open from the outside, and several armed winery members rushed in, pointing their guns at Lin Shangren who was standing there in a daze.

"Who are you?! Where did you take Lady Shirley?"

The red glow in Lin Shangren's eyes, symbolizing Laplace's demon, faded. Looking at the guns pointed at him, he felt somewhat annoyed. "Don't question me! I want to know too!"

A pale blue glow emanated from his palm, forming the regular script character for "water." The power of the Water God Pearl was activated. The next second, the leading member of the winery's peripheral personnel was instantly drained of all their water, transforming into mummies even drier than the Trisolarans of the Chaos Era.

After all, these peripheral members were specially selected by Gin to protect and monitor Miyano Shiho. Although they witnessed such a horrific situation, they still pulled the trigger with considerable professionalism.

Gunfire rang out, and the bullets made a crisp "ding-dang-dang" sound when they hit Lin Shangren's skin, and then fell to the ground.

Lin Shangren looked at the lit word "Water" in his hand, then looked up at several winery members who were firing and reloading.

"Well, since this is a lab, I'll just do some inhumane experiments on you scumbags. You can only control water, but you can't control its three states? That shouldn't be the case.

What if we speed up the blood flow and the friction of water molecules in their bodies? Holy crap, they're cooked from the inside out! They're all boneless, kind of gross.

Don't run, it's your turn next."

……

A few minutes later.

A cocktail bar on the top floor of the Daikoku Building in Beikacho.

This is one of the winery's high-level strongholds, and codename members of the organization often come here to rest, hand over tasks, and exchange information and intelligence.

At this time, the big man Tequila just walked into the bar with a thick file bag under his arm.

When Bourbon saw Tequila come in, he smiled meaningfully while standing behind the bar mixing his own drink.

After Gin's limbs were crippled by Hayashi Shangren, temporarily transforming him into Otto, Bourbon and Tequila formed a temporary strategic alliance. Bourbon helped Tequila connect with Rum, helping him switch sides, while Tequila helped Bourbon investigate intel on programmers targeted by organizations like Nakajima Hideaki and Itakura Taku.

"It seems to be going well?" Bourbon asked.

Tequila asked back, "Why are you taking the handover here?"

"There won't be anyone else here anyway, will there?"

Gin and Vodka were recovering from their injuries, and the other codenamed members had their own missions. The bar's de facto controller had become Bourbon himself. Therefore, this was the perfect location for handing over information. If nothing unexpected happened, there wouldn't be any.

Just as Tequila was about to hand the information he had investigated to Bourbon, a slightly shrill female voice came from the door of the cocktail bar.

"It's really rare to see you two in the same frame."

“Chianti?”

After seeing the blonde woman in a tight black motorcycle suit and heavy makeup at the door, Bourbon quickly bowed and unnoticeably took the file bag from Tequila's hand.

"Shouldn't you still be in the Kingdom of Vespania?" Tequila asked.

"Gin called me back," Chianti said as he walked towards the bar and lazily sat down on it. "It just so happens that Princess Mira over there will be visiting Japan soon, so I came back to Japan in disguise as a secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

She did not shy away from telling her mission to other code members. After all, she was just an executor. If Gin, the task setter, did not impose any restrictions, she would also be happy to share her experiences with other colleagues.

"Do you have any other mission this time?" Bourbon followed up Chianti's question.

"Hmm, do we have to investigate and deal with a young inspector? I heard that he seemed to have given Gin and Vodka a hard time?" Chianti said, pointing to a drink on the menu, but after thinking about it, he didn't order it.

"Let's have some Chianti iced tea," she said. "All they have here are cocktails. It's like some kind of gang-bang."

"Well said. But it seems Chianti can't be mixed with other liquors. It wouldn't taste good if you forced it together."

As he spoke, Bourbon placed a piece of shaved ice and a few slices of lemon in a wine glass, and then poured in the freshly opened bottle of Chianti red wine.

"You bastard, are you mocking me for being old?" Chianti's expression seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Actually, Chianti can be used to make cocktails," Tequila, who had been standing there, suddenly said, "Chianti can be mixed with sherry and some syrup to make a red and white cocktail."

"Forget it, I'm not interested in little girls." As he said this, Chianti drank the red wine in the glass.

"By the way, do you have any anti-material sniper rifles? Get me one," Chianti said. "This target is a bit tricky, I need some large-caliber equipment."

"Your target should be the special inspector named Lin Shangren, right?" Bourbon asked. "Dealing with him is indeed a bit troublesome."

Bourbon, or rather, Rei Furuya, had previously investigated Hayashi Naoto's background, much like Nogami Saeko. Because he had the backing of the Tokuko Kokusho…er, the Japanese Public Security Bureau, he was able to uncover more information than Nogami Saeko had. Although, like Nogami Saeko, he was unable to uncover any information about Hayashi Naoto's past, he did manage to uncover all of Hayashi Naoto's registered properties in Japan. Combined with Hayashi Naoto's recent surge in attention in the entertainment and news industries, Rei Furuya suspected Hayashi Naoto was actually an American spy, deployed specifically to control Japan's real estate and media sectors.

"Although I don't know his true purpose, since the organization is going to take action against him, this is a good opportunity to test his strength. If Chianti really kills him, it will also eliminate a potential threat to the national security of the Japanese islands."

Bourbon thought so and gave Chianti the address of an organization's arms depot.

"Go here, the things here should meet your needs."

Chapter 409: Fate's Prank

"Aoyama the old thief is still too lacking in imagination. Well, maybe it's because 'Sword Hero Legend' is for children, so he can't do anything too bloody, violent, or abstract."

At a warehouse in Shinjuku, where the winery was located, Officer Lin Shangren, who had just finished his crackdown on gangsters, sighed. After several more experiments, Lin Shangren couldn't help but sigh, "This Water God Pearl is truly incredibly useful."

Hit them with giant water balloons? Soak them with high-pressure water guns? Or even use immense force to drain all the water out of their bodies?

If the purpose is simply to kill someone, it would be more efficient to fill the opponent's alveoli with water and damage the opponent's lung lobes.

Lin Shangren used this efficient method to quickly eliminate some members of the organization in several gathering points in the winery.

At this time, he was looting guns from the stronghold while opening the door of the warehouse where corpses were piled up, preparing to throw them into Tokyo Bay to support Japan's land reclamation project.

"If someone finds a bunch of drowned bodies here tomorrow, the cute little guys at the Metropolitan Police Department will probably have to work overtime again. Better to deal with it for them. Ha, I really am a good leader who cares about my subordinates."

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren loaded another box of 7.62mm bullets into the shadow space. With Lin Shangren's current strength, if he was to kill someone, even without using superpowers, he would be more efficient than using firearms just by tearing them apart.

However, like a certain hulking figure in Archon armor who gets a bit grumpy when he wakes up, Lin Shangren still quite enjoys the feeling of killing with his gun. Moreover, soon, he'll be launching a war of restoration across Midgard in another world. While the elves' magic is certainly powerful, it's unlikely to be as effective on the battlefield as a 7.62mm steel magic wand.

"The winery's inventory is still not enough. It seems that I still have to rob the warehouse of the US military stationed in Japan before leaving. No, Uncle Yongshi is half my father-in-law now. Things from his own family should be taken, not robbed." Lin Shangren thought.

"I think it would be quite amusing, an elven ranger with an AK47, praying for the wind element's blessing of precision while madly unleashing ammunition. Every shot locked the head, every shot penetrated the armor.

Hmm... I remember the magic book Nunnally left behind mentioned the creation of a large golem. If the Alchemical Colossus were to be equipped with a mechanical structure and heavy thermal weapons, a hand-made Gundam would be just around the corner."

What's a Gundam without beam weapons?

"Then design the appearance to be a Zaku or a Tiger. Speaking of which, didn't Xiao Ai find a universe of outer space mecha battles? In the past, we didn't have enough strength to produce in space for a long time, so we put it on hold temporarily. Now, if we go there and don't kill indiscriminately, we should be able to protect ourselves, right?" Lin Shangren thought.

[The Real System is a surefire killer, and the Super System can be a bit more subtle and effective. But if there's a precious item like King Jim inside, who can cause the entire universe to understand each other in a matter of seconds, then you're on your own.]

"Then let's wait a little longer. We still have a lot of problems to solve."

While chatting idly with Fululu in his mind, Lin Shangren had already packed up all the guns and corpses, ready to call it a day and leave.

"Today's anti-gangster campaign ends here. The spoon won't be repaired until tomorrow afternoon. So let that bitch Karasuma Renya live for another ten hours."

With this thought in mind, he teleported with the pile of corpses towards Tokyo Bay, just in time to pass by Chianti, who was coming to retrieve weapons. Lin Shangge was particularly irritable tonight due to Miyano Shiho's disappearance. To prevent Chianti from being mistaken for a swarm of soldiers, some mysterious force manipulated the road conditions, causing her to arrive two minutes late.

In fact, Miyano Shiho's disappearance was also the result of that power's efforts to allow "Haibara Ai" to appear smoothly.

Due to a series of unexpected events, in order to prevent further accidents, Lin Shangren's optimal solution for the winery has changed from slowly invading and brainwashing, then gradually controlling it, to immediately eliminating it. In addition, Lin Shangren himself does not have the evil taste to raise a legal little loli, so the basic conditions for the birth of "Haihara Ai" have been lost.

In order to ensure the smooth birth of Haibara Ai and facilitate a series of subsequent events, a guy who had been keeping an eye on Hayashi Naoto and intended to turn him into his own personal plaything took action again.

"When Miyano Shiho woke up, she would appear in the prison cell of the Kingdom of Keludora. The bats that Xiao Shangren left on her would temporarily protect her. However, to prevent herself from being tortured to death by the disgusting beastmen, she still took ATPX4869 and committed suicide in the cell, but ended up turning into a child. With her thin body, she was able to escape the cell of the Keludora military camp... What's next, hehe~"

In the depths of space beyond the multiverse, a tall, voluptuous female figure fiddled with the astrolabe that symbolized fate. Her eyes were fixed greedily on Lin Shangren, who was in the scientific universe.

"Haven't you touched those girls yet? That won't do. It's not enough to just take their virginity in a simulated dream. You have to make them lose their virginity in reality as well."

She really wanted to reach out and directly throw Ayano Aya and Akazawa Izumi, who had taken off their clothes, into Hayashi Naoto's bed and force them to make love with violence. However, at this moment, she was temporarily unable to directly interfere with and control the lives in that world, and could only create some "coincidences" and "chain reactions."

"It's really troublesome. But what we have the most is time. I can wait."

……

Seven Star Entertainment Co., Ltd.

Lin Shangren, who had just finished work and returned home, suddenly shivered, as if someone had suddenly licked the back of his neck with a wet, slippery and cold tongue, and he felt very uncomfortable.
