An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Half forty percent completed?"

Looking at the two incomprehensible words "Sleeping Beauty" and "Paradise System" on the system panel, Lin Shangren once again said in his heart:

"The world I'm currently in is a virtual world created by the so-called Paradise System. Sleeping Beauty is the key to the Paradise System."

Goal 1: Find out the truth about the world (60%)

"Huh? This actually works? Interesting... They won't give direct instructions, but I can still infer information based on the system's feedback like this..."

Hayashi Naoto shook his head and walked to the electric chair where Ando Tomoko was tied up.

[Warning: Electric shock is about to begin. Please stay away from the electric chair.]

"No."

Hayashi Shangren reached out and grabbed the straps that bound Ando Tomoko's torso, pulled it hard twice, pretending to be trying to save someone.

"Everyone come and give me a hand, I can't pull it up by myself."

[Warning, other players, please get away from the electric chair immediately!]

"I won't! If you have the guts, electrocute me too. I'm the only man here anyway, so let's see if you can continue this perverted game after I die."

Lin Shangren was shouting hysterically, but his eyes were calmly observing the reactions of everyone present.

The petite schoolgirl Rika Makiwa was completely frightened. She hid behind her teacher Natsuki Aoi and trembled.

The only adult present, Teacher Aoi, did not make any move. She just looked at Lin Shangren with a worried look on her face.

My childhood sweetheart, Fan Kariya, bit her lower lip tightly. It was obvious that she was also scared, but she was still trying to stay calm.

As for the other two, Byakuya Rinone and Manaka Hehuan, there was no emotion at all on their faces.

"laugh…"

Suddenly, Lin Shangren noticed that a smile flashed across Zhenzhong Hehuan's face. The smile was only a flash, but Lin Shangren still caught it.

"There's something wrong with that woman!"

"Shangren...I'll help you."

Finally mustering up the courage, Hokariya came to Hayashi Naoto's side and helped him pull the straps that bound Ando Tomoko.

"I can't... pull it. It's tied too tightly. Shangren, why don't we just... give up."

Chapter 3: Brain in a vat? The Matrix?

"give up?"

As an NPC used as an example, Ando Tomoko was doomed to die. Hayashi Naoto's act of desperately trying to save her was simply to gauge the attitudes of everyone present.

But Hayashi Naoto did not intend to give up Ando Tomoko's life so easily, because he had other things to confirm.

However, the mastermind behind this virtual world will not allow Lin Shangren to destroy her game.

[Final warning, players Lin Shangren and Fan Qiye, please leave the electrocution area immediately.]

"No! If you have the ability, you can kill me!"

"Oh!"

A powerful shock wave suddenly exploded with the electric chair as the center, and the powerful impact force blew Lin Shangren and Fan Qiye several meters away.

"Damn... you can't afford to play, right?"

Before Lin Shangren could stand up, he heard Ando Tomoko's screams of pain.

“Woo…Gu…Woo…Woo…”

Brutal electric current flowed through Ando Tomoko's body, sparks danced on her fair skin, and then a scream like vomiting blood burst out, filling the entire white room.

Ando Tomoko's body, bound by several belts, spasmed violently with a crackling sound, and the entire chair shook with her convulsions. The only things on her body that could move freely - the ribbon of her sailor uniform and her two pigtails - also swung wildly under the intense electric shock inside her body.

Such a tragic scene is unbearable to watch.

The most timid one, Rika Shiba, let out a shrill cry, which mixed with Ando Tomoko's wails, making it creepy.

Teacher Aoi suddenly shouted, "No! Lin, you can't go over there! It's dangerous!"

Lin Shangren, who had just stood up, actually rushed straight towards the electric torture chair.

"Toko is beyond saving, Shangren, don't do anything stupid!" Fan Kariya also stopped him.

Lin Shangren rushed forward despite the dissuasion and hugged Ando Tomoko's trembling body tightly.

"Gah! Aaaaah!"

The moment he touched Ando Tomoko's body, Hayashi Naoto also let out a shrill scream.

"It can actually simulate the feeling of a real electric shock... It seems that the computing power of the so-called paradise system is used on the tip of the knife. Next... let's see if my other hypothesis is true... Aaaaaaah! It hurts so much!"

Accompanied by indescribable pain, Lin Shangren's consciousness gradually became blurred.

Then the electric current stopped and Lin Shangren fell straight to the ground.

At the moment when he completely lost consciousness, Lin Shangren looked at everyone present.

Teacher Aoi's face was filled with surprise and fear.

Rika Makiwa hid behind Teacher Aoi and her face could not be seen clearly.

Bai Ye Linyin's face remained calm.

Manaka Hehuan turned her face away, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly.

And Fan Kariya...the childhood sweetheart who always acted like she cared about Lin Shangren, actually had a face full of disgust and aversion.

"interesting…"

The satisfied Lin Shangren completely lost consciousness.

[Ding~Consciousness attack detected]

[Attack Type: Memory Deletion]

[Memory disguise in progress...]

[Disguise Completed]

[System suggestion: Please pretend to have forgotten what just happened.]

Accompanied by the mechanical sound of his system, Lin Shangren opened his eyes again.

Sure enough, he was in the original white room.

"Haha, that's true."

Lin Shangren pretended to check his physical condition as he did last time, while thinking about his current situation.

After fully confirming that this world was virtual, Lin Shangren had several very important questions:

First: Is this world like a brain in a vat, where the person behind the scenes can control a person's actions and thoughts at will, implanting ideas into their brains at will? Or is it like The Matrix, where the person behind the scenes can only simulate the environment but cannot directly change a person's will, and at most can only delete some of their memories?

Second: If I die in this virtual world, will my real body die as well?

Third: How should I leave this virtual world?

In order to get answers to a few questions, Lin Shangren chose the suicidal behavior just now.

As for whether he would really die?

According to Lin Shangren's reasoning, it definitely won't happen, not easily.

The person behind this virtual world will never let Lin Shangren die easily.

Lin Shangren deduced this based on the outrageous rules of the game: as he said before, he was the only man, and as long as he died, the perverted game could not continue at all.

"So, what's the point of this game? Creating a virtual world just so I can choose someone to fuck? Using a cyberpunk dick to penetrate a virtual body, what's the point?"

The answer to this question cannot be inferred based on the information currently available.

"It seems that I can only follow their plot for now."

Lin Shangren raised his head and looked at the pure white door. The indicator light on the door turned from red to green and then opened.

On the other side of the door, just like last time, they were still there. Including Ando Tomoko, everyone else stood there as if nothing had happened.

Just like last time, Fan Kariye stumbled over, but this time her words were slightly different: "Shangren! How are you? Are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Lin Shangren answered calmly, but in his heart he was a little more wary of this so-called childhood sweetheart.

Then, the entire process was basically the same as last time, except for some minor, insignificant differences in what each person said.

Lin Shangren still pretended to be a hot-blooded good guy, but this time, after being thrown away, he did not choose to "die together" with Ando Tomoko.

“Wuwuwu…Gua ...

Ando Tomoko's screams and Makiwa Rika's cries intertwined. Aoi-sensei turned her head away with a look of grief on her face.

Fan Qiye hugged Lin Shangren's arm tightly, as if out of fear, or as if... afraid that Lin Shangren would do something stupid.

"Tomoko...Tomoko is dying."

Lin Shangren could hear Fan Qiye's hoarse crying voice.

"That girl's acting is pretty good." Lin Shangren couldn't help but complain in his heart, "It's certain that Fan Kariye is not a good person. What should I do..."

Fan Kariye's acting was excellent, and Lin Shangren's was no slouch either. Although he was mentally pondering how to deal with the current situation, he still managed to put on an expression of righteous indignation and grief.

"Beast! Beast!"

Finally, the shock stopped.

Ando Tomoko's body, which had been twitching non-stop, suddenly lost strength, and the gag in her mouth fell off, and yellow-white foam flowed out. Her eyes were wide open and rolled back, and she died with her eyes open, looking extremely miserable.

[Ando Miyako, elimination is complete.]

Accompanied by this emotionless mechanical mixed sound, the door of the room opened.

[Players, please move to the main room]

"Everyone..." Teacher Aoi said to everyone with a trembling voice,

"Let's... go. Come on, everyone..."

Teacher Aoi supported Rika, who was crying so hard that she was exhausted, and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, Lixiang fell down.

"Wu, wu… No… Ahhh… I can't leave… Rika, I'm so scared."

She was still sobbing incoherently, her legs were shaking, and her waist seemed to have no strength.

It was obvious that the little girl was terrified.

"A classic burden... Could this guy also be an NPC?"

With such thoughts in mind, Lin Shangren still walked to Rika and Teacher Aoi like a passionate big brother.

"Teacher, leave it to me."

"Classmate Lin?"

"Rika, I'm sorry."

“Eh? Yeah!??”

Lin Shangren put his arm around Li Xiang's waist and lifted her up with one arm. Li Xiang was very small, almost like an underdeveloped elementary school student, and very light. Lin Shangren felt that he could probably run a thousand meters with this little girl under his arm.

"Ye, teacher, let's go."

Four people walked through the door, and Lin Shangren's eyes were fixed on the two people who had walked into the room first, Manaka Gawain and Byakuya Rinone.

Looking at their expressions, it was as if they hadn't witnessed the horrific scene of Ando Tomoko being electrocuted at all. They were extremely calm.

"laugh."

"!"

Lin Shangren noticed that Zhenzhong Hehuan seemed to smile again.
