An infinite journey starting from paradise

However, between her buttocks, a beautiful pink world unfolded as her fingers played with it. She felt a little dizzy, as something sprouted within her, a fluid like a demonic barrier swelling and spreading within her. That fluid was gurgling, surging uncontrollably.

Everyone has desires, and they always need to do something to adjust the hormone balance in their body. When this need and desire is externalized, it becomes the torturous feeling called "loneliness."

Mitsuko Asaya, an "older single woman" who has been single since birth, is no stranger to this feeling.

In fact, she was only 26, far from being "old". It was just that her plain and somewhat old-fashioned uniform, old-fashioned hairstyle and thick glasses masked her charm and made her look a little older.

But Asaya Mitsuko doesn't care. After all, her job doesn't require her to show off her physical charm. She has no regrets about dedicating her youth to this work of upholding justice.

However, whenever she was alone in a room like now, she would still be tormented by the loneliness and unable to control herself.

"Ugh... this place needs a good... wash."

As her fingers rubbed, Mitsuko Asaya's eyes became moist with shame under the dim light, her lips opened and closed under the rush of desire, and her legs squirmed and opened and closed in the direction of joy.

Just as the excitement was gradually turning, her foot, which had been hanging high on the wall of the tank, slid heavily into the water, splashing countless water. The sound was exaggerated, making her ears ring and she felt a sense of loss and despair.

"What on earth am I?"

Mitsuko Asaya was very lost. She had already started to comfort herself during her ignorant adolescence, but her mind had never been able to clearly outline the image of someone who could truly convince her, conquer her, and make her willingly give everything for him.

And now, she met such a person in reality, but the brilliance he exuded was so bright that she felt dwarfed and dared not approach him.

"Who are you? You're from the Metropolitan Police Department's Special Homicide Investigation Division, which reports directly to me, Hayashi Shangren! As DIEs, you have unlimited power when investigating unsolved cases. When it comes to suspects, you can only decide whether you want to investigate, not whether you can.

DIE represents delayed justice. If anyone wants to hinder the implementation of this delayed justice, I will definitely make him pay the price! "

Thinking back to Lin Shangren's powerful words that day, Mitsuko Asaya felt that her already aroused buttocks became even more aroused.

"He's really... so handsome! I want to get close to him, follow him, become his loyal dog, I want... I want to die for him!"

Mitsuko Asaya fantasized that she and Naoto Hayashi were fighting against a large number of criminals, and that she would eventually block the fatal bullet for him and die in his arms.

"I was held in Inspector Lin's arms, tightly and tenderly. He watched my life slip away bit by bit, grieving and angry for me. I became someone so important to him that he would never forget me... Dying for him, leaving him with a lifelong regret for me..."

Imagining such a scene, Mitsuko Asaya in the bathtub couldn't help but twist her body.

Soon, Asaya Mitsuko calmed down from her fantasy. After all, it was just a fantasy, so why not imagine a happy ending? She fell in love with Inspector Lin, was gently embraced by him, gave birth to a son and a daughter for him, and lived a happy life.

Fantasizing, Mitsuko Asaya's fingers slid down again.

"Ah~ Inspector Lin... no... Shang Renjun, Shang Renjun will have dinner at Miwako's house across the street today... We're only a few walls apart, so close, and yet I'm fantasizing about him doing something so shameless... But, I can't hold it anymore... oooo~"

In the restaurant of Sato Miwako's house about ten meters away, Lin Shangren, who had already sat down, suddenly looked a little strange.

Noticing this, Sato Miwako quickly asked, "Inspector Lin, is there something wrong with the food I cooked? Or..."

"No, your craftsmanship is excellent." Lin Shangren replied, "I just... my ears feel a little uncomfortable, and I seem to be hallucinating."

Responding to Sato Miwako, Hayashi Shangren prepared to temporarily shut down his overly sensitive demon hunter senses. He couldn't help but complain inwardly, "Am I surrounded by these nymphomaniacs? Why would someone I know be so greedy for my body?!"

Chapter 453 Please accept my power and avenge my world

"Is that so? Inspector, you must be too busy. You should make sure to rest."

Although Sato Miwako kept smiling as she said this, she felt very uneasy inside. She thought to herself, "I clearly wanted to repay Inspector Lin, but I took up his precious rest time. Am I being too selfish?"

A capable and heroic person becomes cautious, worried about gains and losses, and hesitant when dealing with another person's affairs. This is enough to show how high the status of that person is in her heart.

Initially, while Sato Miwako admired Hayashi Naoto's investigative abilities, she had some reservations about his brutal approach to law enforcement. However, after learning that he had pushed for the abolition of the statute of limitations for criminal cases and, with a few words, solved the Chousilang case, bringing justice to her father twenty years late, her heart now held Hayashi Naoto on par with her father.

"It wouldn't be called hard work, but there are indeed a lot of things that need me to deal with." Lin Shangren answered and picked up a piece of tempura shrimp from the plate and put it in his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing, he commented, "It tastes great, and the cooking time is just right. Has Officer Sato ever taken any special cooking classes?"

"Yeah. I learned it from a cooking show on TV when I was a kid. I've been making it for years and it's now my specialty," Miwako Sato replied.

"So that's how it is. That's good."

"Thank you."

"Um……"

"Well……"

The atmosphere at the dinner table was awkward. Sato Miwako, nervous and awkward, was at a loss for words, while Hayashi Naoto was a reserved person, oscillating between a poor articulation and a clever way of speaking. Their only common topic seemed to be the various cases, but this was clearly not the right time to discuss them. Hayashi Naoto could have used his acting skills and interrogation techniques to find a topic to liven up the atmosphere, but he was too lazy to do so.

[Let's find something to talk about. The atmosphere is so awkward right now.]

"She expressed her gratitude to me, I accepted it, and I am very satisfied with it. This is good." Lin Shangren answered in his heart.

"Should I say something? But Inspector Lin has been eating fried shrimp and egg rolls. He must like them, right? Uh... will it disturb him if I speak now?" Sato Miwako thought to herself.

So the two of them inexplicably fell into an awkward silence, but Asaya Mitsuko became more and more passionate.

"If it's Shang Renjun, then yes, both the front and the back... oh~ I'll leave it all to you... I'll fill it all up with Shang Renjun..."

With his hands working one in front and one behind, he kept twisting his body, and the hot water in the bathtub kept surging and overflowing.

Imagining Lin Shangren pressing down on her, thrusting gently yet fiercely, Asaya Mitsuko's fingers moved faster and faster, the amplitude of her movements gradually decreasing, the frequency becoming increasingly fierce. Her body tensed to the limit, her waist arched like a bridge, her snow-white thighs twitching, her head shaking violently, her vagina tightening, squeezing out large streams of glistening fluid.

"went!"

Mitsuko Asaya bit her lips tightly and thrashed around a few times, then fell to the bottom of the bathtub again. Drops of blood oozed out from her bitten red lips and dripped into the bathtub.

Suddenly, Mitsuko Asaya felt a sharp pain in her chest, and even her limbs seemed to be cramping and she couldn't move - this was a sign of heat shock.

Prolonged soaking in water over 40 degrees Celsius naturally causes blood vessels to dilate, blood pressure to drop, and heart rate to increase. This also increases the risk of dehydration and blood viscosity, potentially leading to blood clots or coronary artery spasms. And then there's the intense "exercise" that Asaya Mitsuko engaged in.

During self-comfort, a normal adult woman's heart rate can reach 120-150 beats per minute, and her blood pressure rises by about 30%, which greatly increases the stress on the cardiovascular system. The Valsalva maneuver (breath-holding—you can try it; at the peak of orgasm, people hold their breath uncontrollably) during orgasm can cause overexcitation of the vagus nerve and trigger arrhythmia.

In addition, the bathroom in the single apartment rented by Mitsuko Asaya was too small, and she did not ventilate it in advance, resulting in limited oxygen content in the room.

The combination of these factors led to her current predicament: heart congestion, confusion, and cramps in her limbs. If this continued, she would probably lose consciousness in the bathtub and eventually drown.

Fortunately, she was a police officer after all. If she had disappeared, her colleagues, especially Sato Miwako who lived across the street from her, would have come to look for her immediately, so her death scene would not have developed into a bizarre scene like "Twenty-eight Days of the Bathhouse Girl".

"Ruined…"

When she thought that the forensic team would definitely find out that she died in an embarrassing way by drowning due to masturbation, Mitsuko Asaya even wanted to bite off her tongue to confuse the audience before she completely lost consciousness.

Fortunately, Lin Shangren did not completely shut down his demon hunter senses. After smelling the smell of human blood, he used shadow touch to confirm the situation of Asaya Mitsuko, and just happened to perceive this scene.

"A good female detective almost scratched herself to death. This guy is unprecedented and will never be surpassed."

Sighing helplessly, Lin Shangren used shadow control to remotely lift Asaya Mitsuko's delicate body out of the water, and used a few drops of her blood to heal her body.

"Cough cough cough."

Mitsuko Asaya coughed violently several times and spat out the bath water that had choked her organs.

Still frightened, she hurriedly stood up from the bathtub, intending to dry herself and leave. However, as soon as Asaya Mitsuko stepped out of the bathtub, her feet inexplicably slipped and she fell backward. Just as her temple was about to hit the bathtub faucet, Lin Shangren blocked it again, causing her to fall into the bathtub.

"Strange, two fatal accidents in a row. This isn't the set of Final Destination."

Knowing there must be something fishy going on, Lin Shangren quickly used his shadow touch to scan the apartment where Asaya Mitsuko rented. Suddenly, a necklace placed on the vanity in the outer room of Asaya Mitsuko's bathroom caught Lin Shangren's attention.

"This thing is made of the Seed of Desire, but it seems a little different."

Lin Shangren sensed a strange spiritual energy emanating from the necklace. Although it was very weak, he could still feel that it was very similar to the seeds of desire that Lin Shangren had cleared away, but also somewhat different.

"This thing wants to accidentally kill Asaya Mitsuko and then use her soul to recharge itself?"

To be on the safe side, Lin Shangren put the necklace into the shadow space, then closed his left eye and used the [Eye of Innocence] to identify the information of the necklace through the shadow.

Lin Shangren originally thought that this necklace would not reveal much information like the other seeds of desire, but the results of this identification far exceeded his imagination.

[Name: Contaminated Dreamstone Fragment]

[Quality: Conceptual Creation? Superb Craftsmanship? Miraculous]

[Status: Conceptual power added, infected by ■■'s blood, insufficient energy]

【Producer: Morpheus, ■■】

[Note 1: This fragment, a magical artifact embodying the supreme power of Morpheus, the Sandman, a member of the Endless Family—the Dream Stone—disintegrated. Contaminated by ■■'s blood, it retains the Dream Stone's ability to transform illusions into reality, blurring the lines between dreams and reality, while also significantly reducing the energy required to power it. Instead of consuming the special energy derived from the Sandman, it now consumes the special energy generated by the souls of intelligent beings and the desires of humans.]

[Note 2: Although eroded and transformed by ■■, the Dream Stone fragments still retain the power and message left by its true owner.]

[Note 3: "No matter who you are, please accept my gift and avenge my world!"]

"!"

After reading this message, Lin Shangren was so shocked that he almost stood up.

Seeing Lin Shangren's sudden change of color, Sato Miwako thought there was something wrong with the dish she made, so she quickly asked, "Inspector Lin, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's okay... I'm fine."

Lin Shangren forced himself to calm down, but the surprise in his heart did not subside at all.

The Infinite Family, Morpheus the Sandman, the Dream Stone... As an American comics reader who used to send Tom King and other mentally retarded DC comics editors to heaven all year round, Lin Shangren knew too well the value of these keywords.

The so-called Endless Family personifies seven concepts in the DC Comics universe: Dream, Death, Fate, Despair, Desire, Delirium, and Destruction. They exist outside the DC Comics multiverse. To put it simply, in their full form, they are the story's most powerful outsiders, and only the "Supreme God" (the comic book writers and editors) can truly punish them.

In short, it's ridiculously strong.

Take the Sandman, for example. His demonstrated ability alone includes the ability to rewrite reality at will: turning reality into a dream, transforming the most abstract, bizarre, and illogical dreams into actual reality. It's like a comic book character taking over the brush of a creator outside of the comic book.

It's conceivable that mastering this power would allow one to easily alter the history, present, and future of the material world, constantly shaping it to one's own liking. If the Creator in religious mythology required everything within the world to adhere to certain rules and logic in order for it to function properly, then this power could shape reality at will, without any logic at all.

"Something of this level...this powerful force...how could it be..." The words in Lin Shangren's mind had become somewhat incoherent.

He reached into the shadowy space and gently touched the dark red gemstone inlaid on the necklace with his index finger. Suddenly, a magnificent scene that was difficult to describe appeared before his eyes.

My Lord!

Seeing that Lin Shangren's soul suddenly began to fluctuate violently, Ashloth outside the multiverse hurriedly protected him. After his soul was protected by Ashloth, the scene in front of Lin Shangren, which was incomprehensible to human senses and could not be described in human language, gradually became concrete.

In a sea of ​​brilliant stars, a shady-haired, black-robed, smoky-makeup shamatte was kneeling on the ground. A fuzzy black shadow that could barely be made out to be the shape of a young girl was gradually approaching the kneeling shamatte. In her hands, she was holding a helmet that looked like a gas mask and a small linen bag that kept leaking sand.

Just as she approached the Shamatte, a gothic beauty wearing a black tank top, with pale skin and smoky makeup suddenly appeared and stood between the black shadow and the Shamatte youth.

However, as the black shadow raised his arm, the Gothic beauty who appeared later also floated up, as if she was strangled by an invisible hand.

The black shadow casually threw the Gothic beauty far away, then walked to the kneeling Shamatte youth, stepped on his face, bent down and grabbed the ruby ​​necklace on the Shamatte youth's neck, and then kicked and pulled.

The Shamatte youth rolled on the ground in pain. A middle-aged man in a green robe and holding a book in his hand witnessed the whole process not far away but dared not say a word. The Gothic beauty who was thrown away struggled to get up and then knelt down dejectedly, while the black shadow walked away with satisfaction.

The scene ends abruptly.

"Gulu."

Lin Shangren swallowed his saliva. He remembered that Ashrose had said that when he faced a scene that humans could not understand, Ashrose would transform it into a form that could be understood by human senses and thinking and present it to him.

In other words, the street-fighting-like scene he just witnessed was actually a "war of gods" that was far beyond the comprehension of intelligent creatures.

"Oreil, Death, Fate... And, is she the Mother Goddess?"

Lin Shangren wanted to recall what he had just seen, but his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain.

Just as Lin Shangren's consciousness was a little fuzzy, his weapons and the cards in his system backpack that symbolized his abilities: [Demon Slayer], [Sword of the Lake Girl], [Finger of the Eagle], [Guaranteed Hit of Morality]... All the props and abilities from the system girl shone at the same time, and the light seemed to dispel the severe pain in Lin Shangren's head. Then, he heard a series of voices, including those of men, women, young and old, repeating the same words: "Please accept my power and avenge my world!"

Chapter 454: Empty your mind and work hard

The overlapping prayers were like devilish sounds piercing Lin Shangren's ears, stirring his brain. He tried hard to sort out his thoughts, but the chaotic information made it impossible for him to calm down.

"You have no moral principles...you come to deceive...you come to attack..."

"Things shouldn't be like this. After defeating the Trisolarans, everyone on Earth should continue to live and work in peace... Why..."

"I'm sorry...my dear Millicent..."

"Her power can devour the white frost, and will devour everything... We were all wrong... Run, Ciri, run!!!"

In a trance, Lin Shangren saw a series of devastated scenes. He saw an old man with purple eye sockets, a young man with exceptionally long fingers, an armored man with his head burning like a fireball, and a white-haired man holding a broken sword and roaring in despair. Lin Shangren recognized the face of the white-haired man, the famous White Wolf Geralt.

Without exception, they were all in desperate situations. Without exception, they faced a terrifying black shadow that would devour and annihilate all existence.

Lin Shangren widened his eyes. He wanted to see exactly what was happening and what would be their final outcome.

At this moment, a pair of white and cold hands covered his eyes.

"Don't look at it anymore."

Ashrose's voice rang in his ears.

Feeling the cold and warm touch coming from his eye sockets, Lin Shangren realized that his eyes seemed to be injured and bleeding.

Lin Shangren closed his eyes, and when he closed his eyes at the conscious level, he opened them again in reality. He saw Sato Miwako kneeling beside him with tears in her eyes, pressing her hands on his chest helplessly as if performing CPR.

"Your handling method was inappropriate and your actions were wrong. You failed in first aid." Lin Shangren tried his best to speak in a strong voice, but the dizziness in his brain had not subsided yet, so his voice was a little trembling.

"ah!"

Sato Miwako was completely terrified after hearing Hayashi Naoto's voice. She shouldn't have been so flustered, but anyone else would have struggled to maintain composure after witnessing someone they'd considered the most powerful and reliable suddenly freeze in their eyes, shed tears of blood, and collapse to the ground.

Feeling a slight warmth on his lips, Lin Shangren guessed that Sato Miwako had performed artificial respiration in addition to CPR. However, he didn't have the energy to delve into this. After sitting up, he pulled his consciousness into the simulated dream and slowed down the flow of time within it as much as possible. He needed to sort out the current situation.
