An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Yes...but..."

"That's good."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren lightly flicked Feng Lingyueying's blade.

The combat skill "Ding Ding" is activated, and the effect is to break the defense with one hit.

"Xiao Ai, for the underground laboratory, this layer above ground is considered its defense, right?"

[It is indeed possible to think so.]

"That's good."

Lin Shangren suddenly raised his dagger high and slashed it hard at the floor. The moment the blade touched the floor, the entire stadium floor disappeared instantly as if annihilated.

Lin Shangren and the corpses and bullet shells on the ground in the gymnasium all fell down.

The guards on the underground floor were originally staring at the direction of the elevator with full alert. They never expected that the enemy attack would come from above their heads.

"Woo!"

Lin Shangren, who was in free fall, suddenly felt a pain in his balls, as if the essence in his sac was suddenly sucked dry, which was quite uncomfortable.

"System, what's going on?!"

[Using a rule-based skill of this level consumes energy. I can't let you use it recklessly, right? Running out of energy is considered an abnormal state, right? So, you need to empty your magazine to recover.]

[If it breaks through with one strike, then does the Maginot Line count as France's defense? You can't just destroy a strategic defense line stretching for hundreds of kilometers with one strike without any cost, right?]

"What kind of defense is the Maginot Line? Wait, I suspect you're kidding, and I have irrefutable evidence!"

【Ahem～（*/?＼*）】

Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a moment. The next moment, Lin Shangren's crotch ammunition was replenished due to the effect of [Little Bird Healer]. Lin Shangren also landed steadily, standing with the knife in his hand in a relatively cool posture.

He scanned the scene in the basement laboratory with a cold gaze: the guards were clearly startled by the sudden onslaught of bodies, many even being knocked down by them. A large pile of corpses conveniently blocked the entrance to the escape route, effectively blocking the path of the researchers attempting to escape.

"Xiao Ai, music."

【Ah... do you want to continue? 】

"Of course. All criminals in this organization will be sentenced to death in my opinion."

【Eh? 】

Lin Shangren drew another long sword from the shadow cast by his right hand on his chest. Facing the panicked researchers and mercenaries, he forced a kind smile:

"Everyone, every one of you must die tonight!"

With one knife, he beheaded the man, ripped open his stomach, and threw out his intestines!

While Lin Shangren was passionately criticizing physics on the underground floor, the researchers on the second underground floor were completely panicked, especially the research team that came to replace Fan Kariying. It was only their first day in office, and they hadn't completed the handover procedures yet, but they had already run into such a big mess.

However, at this moment, Fan Kariying was calmly watching these idiots busying around like ants on a hot pan.

He said slowly, "The defense systems on the second and third floors are impregnable. They can easily withstand even a nuclear explosion. As long as the entrances and exits are locked, the enemy will never be able to break in."

"Then lock it down quickly! Our deaths are no big deal, but the Paradise System prototype and Sleeping Beauty must not be harmed in the slightest." The new director shouted, "Deputy Director Hokari, hurry up! Protecting the lab is paramount."

"Okay...but..."

"But what?"

"Activating the defense system requires shutting down all internal communications. That means if it's activated, we won't be able to communicate with the outside world. We can only wait for rescue. I'm afraid..."

"Don't worry about it!" the new supervisor said firmly. "Activate it immediately. I've already sent a distress signal to headquarters! The supplies on the second and third floors should be enough to hold us over for a while."

"well……"

Fan Kariying showed a strange smile. He walked to the control console, cut off communication with the outside world, locked all the passages in the underground laboratory, and then entered a code.

"All right."

"Is it resolved?" asked the new supervisor.

"It's solved, you will be solved soon!"

Leaving these words behind, Hokari Ying quickly entered the hidden elevator next to the control panel, heading to the third floor. Then, the petri dishes stacked on the second floor were simultaneously opened, awakening the various clones and Behemoth potion experiments dormant within.

The collars around their necks kept flashing red, which meant... they were out of control!

"Ahhh! Don't come here!"

The frantic experiment subjects pounced on the researchers, tearing and biting them. The second floor of the underground laboratory quickly turned into a biohazard hellscape.

While the cult blood-spattering sword-fighting movie was being played on the first floor and the biochemical crisis was being played on the second floor, Fan Kariying had already arrived on the third floor.

Since the Eden Organization no longer trusted him, there was no need for him to stay here. He wanted to take away the key to the Paradise System, the first Sleeping Beauty and her clone, and the girl named Manaka Hehuan.

"Hahaha, I invented the paradise! Only I deserve to own it, only me!!!"

The author says:

Author's words: Sorry, I was dragged to visit relatives today, so I updated a little late. Sorry, sorry, sorry, woohoo.

Chapter 42: Pests Don't Deserve Limbs

"I have to admit that unchecked, random killing is not good for mental health."

Lin Shangren wiped the blood off the knife with his arm.

"Of course, this is even more detrimental to the enemy's physical health."

【What a cold joke】

At this moment, Suzumoto Emi's voice came from his headset again: "Shangren-kun...what happened to you? Was there an accident? Are you okay?"

"I've already dealt with the guards on the first floor. However, the situation was chaotic just now, and I might have accidentally injured our undercover agent."

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Lin Shangren shrugged helplessly.

"Wait, how did you get into the first floor?"

"Take the stairs." Lin Shangren said as a matter of course.

"Huh?" Suzumoto Emi was a little confused. "What?"

"Nothing. Um, Ms. Suzumoto, did something happen? You sound anxious."

Suzumoto Emi is indeed very anxious. Her current condition can be described as eating peppercorns and touching electrical wires - she feels numb.

She regretted it now, deeply. If she had known Lin Shangren was so reckless, she would never have agreed to let him rescue them: This kid is like a little mouse drinking cat's milk, he is no ordinary tiger. After his commotion, the Eden Organization will definitely move the entire academy away, and then all of Suzumoto Emi's planning for so many years will be in vain.

Fortunately, the situation wasn't yet irreversible. The most urgent task was to evacuate Lin Shangren, this precious experimental material. As for Sleeping Beauty and the Paradise System, they would have to make plans for it later.

Suzumoto Emi took a deep breath and said in a calm voice:

"Shang Renjun, you may need to retreat. You're making too much noise, and Eden has activated the underground laboratory's defense system. Unless you can pass through the walls, you won't be able to enter the second floor.

I have arranged for someone to pick you up, so please leave the gymnasium immediately and head towards the secret passage."

"It's just a wall pass, simple as that. Miss Suzumoto, I'm going to go deeper."

Lin Shangren once again drew out the Fengling Yueying, slightly bent his left index and middle fingers, and stretched out his ring finger and little finger to gently tap the back of the knife.

"Ding ~"

"One strike breaks the defense."

Lin Shangren inserted Feng Ling Yue Ying into the ground, and the next moment the floor was completely destroyed. Corpses, blood, bullet casings, tables, chairs, benches, and experimental equipment fell like rain onto the second floor of the underground laboratory.

Blood, corpses, wailing and the smell of sulfur and gunpowder, this scene is like hell descending.

Lin Shangren landed steadily with a knife and a gun in hand.

Just when he was about to start another killing spree, the scene before him was completely beyond his expectations: before he arrived, the third floor of the underground laboratory had become a hell on earth.

He saw a large group of naked people frantically devouring and killing the researchers in white coats. The Eye of Innocence's identification results showed that these were all experimental subjects for the Behemoth Potion.

To make matters worse, their status bars showed that they were already in a near-death state - while releasing them, Fan Kariying used the collar to inject them with a drug that could drain the human body's full potential.

"Wait, what is this? A clone!"

Lin Shangren's eyes fell on a young man who was banging his head against the ground.

[Name: Hokari Ei (Clone)]

[Race: Human? Clone]

[Status: Crazy, Soul Rejection, Near Death]

[Note: The clone created by Hokari Ying using his own genes, due to the mismatch between soul and body, fell into a state of organ rejection. He was also injected with a rage potion. He, they have no cure.]

"Soul rejection? Soul?"

Lin Shangren was a little confused. He asked in his heart, "Xiao Ai, what is the soul?"

[The soul is the soul~(￣▽￣～)~]

"Seriously, is the soul mentioned here the same as the traditional concept of soul or spirit?"

Yes, and not entirely.

The soul is a special energy field. It does not possess consciousness itself, but after combining with reproductive cells, it can gradually shape the consciousness layer and external form of intelligent life.

The union of the soul and body is the complete life. Generally speaking, the soul only unites with the body when the reproductive cells fuse.

[The soul is unique, cannot be copied, and cannot be destroyed.]

After listening to the explanation of the system girl, Lin Shangren immediately thought of the experiment of cloning Sleeping Beauty that Fan Kariya mentioned in the future.

"So, the experiment to clone Sleeping Beauty failed because clones don't have souls," Lin Shangren pondered. "Then what about Rin? And these clones...

"Soul rejection? Could it be..."

[Yes. After death, the soul of an intelligent being separates from its consciousness and body. In that case, the soul will first seek out a fertilized egg, but there's also a chance it will merge with the soulless body.]

Lin Shangren clenched the knife and gun in his hands.

"Beasts!"

The furious Lin Shangren didn't lose his composure. When he saw the tragic scene on the second floor, he immediately realized that it was definitely Fan Kariying, the former supervisor, who had released these experimental subjects. He had most likely already escaped from the second floor.

"No, he won't run away. He will take this opportunity to kidnap He Huan!"

Lin Shangren inserted Feng Ling Yue Ying into the floor again. This time he did not eliminate the entire floor, but only annihilated a small area under his feet.

After jumping down the deep hole, Lin Shangren finally arrived at the third floor of the underground laboratory.

The pure white floor and ceiling, the Paradise System standing in the center, and the petri dishes scattered throughout the room. Clearly, this place is more like the place where the future Hokariya plays perverted games than Suzumoto Emi's laboratory.

Lin Shangren's gaze locked onto the bald Nakaden, who stood in front of the petri dish, doing something unknown. His eyes of innocence revealed him to be Hokari Ei.

Fan Kariying obviously did not notice the arrival of the god of death. All his attention was focused on cracking the code of the petri dish.

"Damn it... Damn it... Why can't I solve it? Don't worry... Don't worry, there's still plenty of time."

Looking at Fan Karieing who was muttering to himself, Lin Shangren kicked him in the waist and then kicked him in the knee, making him kneel on the ground.

Fan Qiye obviously had not yet reacted to what was happening. When his brain sensed the severe pain coming from his lower back, Lin Shangren stepped heavily on his head again.

"Wait...ah...ka..."

With a side kick, Fan Qiying fell to the ground, and Lin Shangren stepped hard on the wrist bone of his right hand, breaking it.

"Ah! You... stop it!"

"It hurts to the extreme, but stay awake." Lin Shangren said calmly.

"No... Who are you? What do you want? I... Aaaaaaah!"

Lin Shangren ignored Fan Qiying's pleas for mercy. He raised his foot and stepped on Fan Qiying's hip again. Judging from the sound, the lightest kick would at least break the bone.

"Pests deserve only to be trampled to death."

"Stop! Stop it!!!"

"Oh!"

What responded to Fan Kariying was a continuous barrage of bullets.

Lin Shangren took out his Glock and emptied the magazine between Fan Kariying's buttocks.

"Huh? That's not right?" Lin Shangren was a little confused. "Why didn't you scream?"

"Hahaha... there... there I cut it off a long time ago..." Fan Kariying showed a perverted smile, "Since my genes have been passed down, how could I possibly leave behind something that might desecrate Huimei?"

"nausea."
