An infinite journey starting from paradise

People have souls, and after death, the soul may attach itself to a nearby body that does not have a soul. The probability of successful attachment is about 24%, which is close to one-quarter.

After confirming this, Hokari Ying was ecstatic. He looked at the black-haired girl sleeping in the petri dish with surprise. His beloved was not dead, but was trapped in the body of this little girl!

Although the conscious clones he created did not have their previous memories, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart: Huimei was so beautiful, intelligent...perfect! She would definitely become a special case that could maintain her original memories.

So, he awakened Bai Ye Lin Yin for the first time.

And then... he despaired.

The girl in front of him was extremely ignorant and had no memory of Suzumoto Emi at all, just like the clones with independent consciousness he created in previous experiments.

The cloned girl might contain the soul of her beloved, but that soul has long been washed away of everything that came before: emotions, memories, and consciousness.

She was no longer Suzumoto Emi, but a new person.

After realizing this, Hokari Ying went completely crazy. His original love for Suzumoto Emi completely turned into hatred for Byakuya Rinone: There might be his beloved soul in the body of this little girl, but if it was not for completing her, why would Suzumoto Emi die?

He began to abuse Rin inhumanely. If he had not chemically castrated himself to show his loyalty to Suzumoto Emi in their platonic love, he might have done something beastly to Rin.

Fortunately, Hokariya didn't know that Suzumoto Emi had faked her own death and that Rin's body was filled with the soul of a schoolgirl who looked just like Suzumoto Emi. Otherwise, he might have done something even more unscrupulous.

After torturing Rinne madly, Hokari Ei was surprised to find that pain could actually improve her adaptability to the paradise system.

Faced with this great discovery, he became ecstatic again. He seemed to have found a way to mass-produce Sleeping Beauty: clone Sleeping Beauty's body, kill people to give the clone a soul, and then torture the clone to improve her compatibility with the paradise system.

Love is dead, but his career is on the rise. Fan Kariye doesn't know whether to be sad or happy. Perhaps he should sort out his feelings, take his beloved's legacy, and completely complete Sleeping Beauty.

Then, reality gave him another big deal. Although pain could improve the adaptability of the clone to the paradise system, it could never reach the level of Sleeping Beauty. It could only barely become the secondary core of the paradise system and could not replace Sleeping Beauty at all.

In other words, he worked hard for a long time, but in the end all he got was a defective product.

To make matters worse, the clone's body actually experienced organ rejection. Unlike the previous soulless clones who would inevitably fail, the souled clones actually experienced organ rejection for unknown reasons.

In this way, even if the clone is used as the secondary core of the paradise system, it will not last long and must be equipped with a mechanical life support device to ensure her survival.

Fan Kariying was completely desperate.

At this moment, the organization's top leaders told him that he was no longer useful, and another group had found a better way to create the second generation of Sleeping Beauty. They would come to replace him tomorrow.

Faced with this last piece of steel and concrete that broke the camel's back, how could Fan Kariying not go crazy on the spot?

Compared to the crazy Hokari Eimi, Suzumoto Emi's emotions are very stable.

She was reading the intelligence sent by the insider and already knew that her previous research direction had gone astray.

But none of this matters to her. It doesn't matter who creates the perfect Sleeping Beauty. What matters is who is in control of the park system.

As one of the inventors of the Paradise System, Suzumoto Emi had already left a hidden backdoor in it. As long as the time is right, she can take over the control of the Paradise System at any time.

"Using consciousness detection equipment, they found a girl with a consciousness highly similar to Sleeping Beauty's...? Consciousness, such a mysterious thing, how could they even research it?"

Thinking, Suzumoto Emi turned to the next page, and then she saw a photo of a girl, a cute girl with brown hair and crimson eyes.

"She looks just like a doll." Suzumoto Emi thought, "Her name is... Manaka Gakuen?!!!"

“Haha…haha…puff hahahahaha!”

Suzumoto Emi couldn't help but cover her face and laugh out loud.

"It's actually his sister? His sister completed the crucial step for me to achieve mind control over all of humanity and achieve the immortality of consciousness. His brother brought me the possibility of physical immortality and a discovery that could shake up physics!"

"Shang Renjun, you two brothers and sisters must be a gift from God to me! Hahahahaha!"

……

"Haa ...

"Hu...hu...hu..."

Aoi Nayue was in Lin Shangren's arms, moaning loudly and her beautiful long legs trembling slightly, but she still hugged Lin Shangren's body tightly with her hands and feet like a baby koala.

"Mr. Shangren, can you tell me about the world outside the island? I've always been curious about the outside world."

"Okay. Once this is done, I'll take you to see the outside world for yourself...not just the outside world, but other worlds as well."

Lin Shangren said softly.

Chapter 39 Preparing for a Night Raid

"My arm is a little numb..."

Lin Shangren, who had a good sleep, opened his eyes and saw Aoi Nayue still sleeping soundly with her head resting on his arm. He tried to liquefy a small shadow under his arm and slowly pulled his arm out.

“What a handy ability.”

While kneading his arm, Lin Shangren looked at the timer on his wrist. Nearly thirteen hours had passed.

"I was so pressed for time and so busy that I didn't even have time to develop my ridiculous skills."

Looking at the shadow of his right arm projected on his left arm, Lin Shangren suddenly punched his left arm hard.

There was no sound, no feeling. Lin Shangren's right fist did not hit his left arm, but instead sank into his left arm. To be more precise, it sank into the shadow cast by the right fist on his left arm.

"Oh, very good! The so-called shadow is a physical phenomenon caused by light being blocked. When two objects are placed together, there will definitely be a shadow at their joint. With a shadow, I can liquefy it into mud.

Therefore, I can achieve the effect of the natural devil fruit elementalization in One Piece. As long as..."

Lin Shangren pulled out his right fist, which had been stuck in his left arm, and struck again. This time, his right fist landed firmly on the left arm, making a crisp "snap" sound. Then, his right fist slowly sank into the shadow.

"As long as my reactions are fast enough." Lin Shangren shook his head. "It's a shame it's not a permanent passive, I have to activate it myself. But it's enough. I already have the recovery and endurance provided by 'Perpetual Chicken and Phoenix', so I don't really need a permanent physical damage reduction."

Although the system lady said that [Little Bird Doctor] still had to abide by the law of conservation of energy, she didn't deny Lin Shangren's statement that "unless the enemy could immediately destroy his basket, he would be immortal." Xiao Ai's words were actually a reminder that he needed to ensure that his body's sugar, water, and protein could continuously produce the golden liquid.

"Using Shadow Swamp the moment the enemy hits you is like a perfect parry in a Souls game."

Thinking about it, Lin Shangren looked at his own shadow on the wall again:

"Although I can liquefy shadows, I probably can't penetrate walls. After all, I'm liquefying the shadows on the wall, not the wall itself."

“Woo… woo… huh~”

While Lin Shangren was thinking, he heard the girl humming softly. Turning around, he saw Aoi Caiyue sitting up and rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Um…good morning, Mr. Naoto."

Because she had just woken up, Caiyue's voice was sticky, just like her body - she had sweated a lot last night, and her body was covered with Lin Shangren's sticky stuff.

"Good morning, Caiyue. How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Shangren asked with concern.

"No... I slept very comfortably, huh~"

Aoi Caiyue stretched lazily in front of Lin Shangren without any scruples.

Looking at the pink bulges on the trembling and bouncing white rabbits still standing upright, Lin Shangren felt relieved.

"It's good that you didn't shrink back."

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren shook his head in amusement: "Even if it shrinks back, I will suck it out again!"

"Eh? What are you laughing at, Mr. Naoto?" asked Aoi Nazuki in confusion.

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting." Lin Shangren replied, "But Nayue, she saw everything~"

"Well……"

Caiyue seemed a little confused. She held up her breasts and looked at Lin Shangren again, saying, "Mr. Shangren, don't you like to look at them...?" They seemed to like looking at Mr. Shangren very much. Before, they always closed their eyes.

Come...Xiao Zuo, Xiao You, say hello to Mr. Shang Ren. Good morning~Mr. Shang Ren.

Looking at Aoi Caiyue holding her chest and shaking it back and forth, Lin Shangren got excited again.

"A little morning exercise shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Just when Lin Shangren was about to take a short nap with Aoi Nayue, the doorbell rang.

"Damn! The timing is perfect, damn it!"

"ah!"

Hearing the shrill doorbell, Aoi Nazuki woke up completely.

"Clothes...clothes...I can't let others see me in this embarrassing state."

Just when Aoi Nazuki was about to put on her sticky and wet white lace panties again, Lin Shangren draped the quilt over her and said, "Go back to bed first. I'll take care of it."

"Ok…Okay."

Aoi Nazuki obediently shrank back into the quilt.

Lin Shangren put on his clothes and opened the door.

As expected, it was Suzumoto Emi.

What followed was a carefully planned Shura scene. Faced with the scene of the child she raised sleeping with the young man she had a crush on, Suzumoto Emi pretended to be shocked, unbelievable, and sad. She acted like she had been deeply betrayed.

Hayashi Shangren followed her script and acted with an extremely guilty look, constantly asking for Suzumoto Emi's forgiveness.

Seeing that Hayashi Naoto looked so guilty, Suzumoto Emi mercifully chose to forgive him, and said that she cherished Hayashi Naoto and Aoi Nazuki equally, and also hinted to him that as long as he was really obedient, he would have the opportunity to eat the "teacher-student rice bowl".

In the end, it was the standard ending of “it’s come to this, let’s go eat first”.

The whole process is full of hypocrisy and acting, without any bonus scenes or key foreshadowing, so this long section of nagging plot is omitted here and we get straight to the point.

After breakfast, Suzumoto Emi called Hayashi Naoto to the laboratory alone and said straight to the point, "Naoto-kun, I have found information about your sister. This is the information sent back by the insider."

Suzumoto Emi called up her edited information about Manaka Hehuan on the big screen.

Looking at the little girl with brown hair on the screen, Lin Shangren couldn't help feeling sad: "Hehuan...where is she now? Is she in the academy? I'm going to save her now!"

"Calm down, she hasn't arrived at the academy yet." Suzumoto Emi "comforted" her, "She's expected to be sent to the academy tonight."

"What do you mean?" Lin Shangren asked knowingly, "Wasn't she taken to the academy?"

"No." Suzumoto Emi shook her head. "Your sister is special, just like you. Eden's purpose in taking her away is not simple. They want your sister to become the core of the Paradise system.

Remember what I said? The Paradise System is actually a terrifying weapon capable of mind-controlling all of humanity. And the people of Eden believe that your sister, Manaka Gawain, could be the perfect core of that system. Take a look at this first."

Suzumoto Emi handed a document to Lin Shangren, who looked through it carefully.

The materials are very similar to the information that Fan Kariha gave in the future timeline: In addition to the research team of Fan Kari Hide and Suzumoto Emi, the Eden Organization also has another group of researchers studying the paradise system. They found a way to create Sleeping Beauty through other means and found the most suitable experimental subject, Manaka Kazuaki.

Today they will bring Manaka Kazuhan to Rokukeikan Academy to replace Hokarie Hideo and take over the academy's amusement park system prototype and "Sleeping Beauty".

"Tonight?"

Lin Shangren pondered and looked at Suzumoto Huimei. He asked, "Ms. Suzumoto, I must rescue Hehuan. I can't let them turn my sister into a weapon."

"We will help you. However, the elite troops of the organization are responsible for escorting your sister this time. With our current strength... I am afraid..."

"It's okay," Lin Shangren said. "Ms. Lingben, no matter how strong the people of the Eden Organization are, they are still human. If they are killed, they will die. Unless they have a way to fly or eliminate their shadows, otherwise, they are lambs to be slaughtered to me.

The maximum range of influence of my ability is about a hundred meters in radius from me. The enemy will definitely not be able to cope with it if they don't know my ability.

All I need is accurate information about my sister's location, a firearm with a silencer, and enough ammunition. Ms. Suzumoto, please trust me."

"Okay...I believe you!"

In fact, Suzumoto Emi didn't want to let Lin Shangren, the precious experimental subject, take risks, but she had to do so now.

According to her original plan, she only needed to wait for the Eden Organization to perfect Sleeping Beauty, and then use the backdoor left in the paradise system to control the perfect paradise system.

However, the capabilities of another group of researchers at Eden truly surpassed Suzumoto Emi's expectations. Not only did they discover how to create Sleeping Beauty through their study of consciousness, they also discovered the true purpose of the Paradise System's final form. This is why Eden's top management chose them to replace Hokari Ei.

If they were allowed to continue their research, they might discover the control loopholes that Suzumoto Emi left in the paradise system. Therefore, Suzumoto Emi must take action immediately. She needs to kill that group of researchers and control this special individual, Manaka Kazuka, in her own hands.

Although she has accumulated a lot of strength, she is still "slightly disadvantaged" compared to Eden's large group of mercenaries. She will definitely not be able to win in a head-on confrontation, and her attempt to fake her death and escape may be exposed.

In desperation, she could only use Lin Shangren as a surprise soldier.

She did not doubt Lin Shangren's strength. The information passed to her by the insider included the miserable scene of the recovery team that was eliminated by Lin Shangren: they were pinned to the ground and bled without firing a single shot and without any ability to fight back.

Looking at the indignant Lin Shangren, Suzumoto Huimei thought to herself, "The problem now is how to firmly control him. What we have now is not enough. Haha... Fortunately, I know the limits of his abilities."

Suzumoto Huimei looked at Lin Shangren's hands: "Just control his hands and prevent him from forming seals."

"Ms. Suzumoto?"

"Ah! Shangren-kun, what did you say?"

"Um... I want to ask, how many people can we send out? Also, what are the characteristics of the undercover agents we infiltrate over there... I'm afraid I will hurt them by mistake." Lin Shangren said.

"Our operation this time only needs to rescue your sister. It's not yet the stage of a full-scale war with Eden. Therefore, they can't be exposed yet. Shang Renjun is best not to kill the researchers."

"Um……"

Lin Shangren lowered his head, as if thinking, and asked again: "So, I'm the only one?"
