An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Phew~ This ability is incredibly versatile. Once I've resolved all of this, I'll definitely have to calm down and develop new uses for it."

Thinking about this, Lin Shangren looked at Aoi Caiyue, who was not far away. Although the researcher holding her had been completely swallowed by the shadow, she still lay on the ground and did not stand up.

"Natsuki, are you okay?"

He quickly ran to Aoi Nazuki and tried to help her up.

Aoi Nazuki twisted her body constantly and said weakly, "Mr. Shangren, please help me... My chest... is so uncomfortable. My body is so weak and I can't use any strength."

Lin Shangren grasped Aoi Natsuki's slender waist and held her in his arms. The results of the Eye of Innocence showed that Natsuki had fallen into a weakened state due to a neurotoxin.

"That person just stabbed my neck with something." Caiyue snuggled up to Lin Shangren's chest and whispered, "Well... they were all swallowed by their own shadows. Mr. Shangren, will they drown?"

Lin Shangren shook his head and said, "No, there are more suitable ways to die waiting for them."

"A more appropriate... way to die?" Aoi Nazuki was a little confused.

"Natsuki, don't think about such a cruel thing. Take a rest first."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren activated the Eagle Finger and made Aoi Nazuki fall into a deep sleep.

"Under the circumstances, letting a girl suck on my oregano is a bit outrageous. Since this poison won't harm Natsuki's body, let's deal with it later."

At this moment, Suzumoto Emi's voice interrupted Lin Shangren's thoughts.

"Hey! Natsuki was poisoned by the poison I researched. Only I can save her. Let me go!"

Lin Shangren turned his head and saw Suzumoto Emi's exposed head. There was an obvious shoe print on her face, her facial features were distorted, and blood was still flowing from her nose.

She pretended to be crazy and said:

"Shangren-kun, we can still talk. There's no need to go this far. As long as you let me go, I can heal Natsuki, and I can also complete the Paradise System... No, no... I can help you release your sister who is trapped in the petri dish."

Lin Shangren held Aoi Nazuki in his arms and pulled out a Glock from the shadow of his right arm cast on his thigh. He did not respond to Suzumoto Emi, but slowly walked towards her head.

"And... and... I can improve the Paradise system. Together, we can control all of humanity! We can achieve eternal life together!

I can give myself to you...you can play with me however you want...I can be your Xing slave...and Natsuki, we can serve you together!"

Looking at the hysterical Suzumoto Huimei, Lin Shangren squatted down, put the gun to Suzumoto Huimei's face and asked: "Are you so afraid of death?"

Suzumoto Emi did not answer this question, but stuck out her tongue. She forced a seductive look and licked the Glock that Lin Shangren was pressing against her face.

"Slurp~ Shang Renjun, you, are you really willing to kill me like this? As long as Shang Renjun wants, I... I can do anything!"

Seeing that Lin Shangren did not respond, Suzumoto Huimei's voice became more charming:

"I was wrong... I shouldn't have wanted to control you... I was just too insecure, so I wanted to control everything. But, but now it's different, Shang Renjun is so powerful, I... I am completely conquered by you! I can be your slave and willingly dedicate myself to you, Master... Master...

I… I have accumulated a lot of wealth, I have gold and weapons… My brain, my talent, can all be owned by you, my master…”

Hearing this, Lin Shangren put down his gun and reached out to Suzumoto Emi's cheek.

At that moment, when Suzumoto Emi felt relieved and Lin Shangren's gentle caress touched her skin, a pain that was difficult to describe in words pierced through her head.

Suzumoto Emi screamed in agony and almost fainted, but her consciousness remained clear.

"You really are afraid of death," Lin Shangren said softly, "That's right. Not to mention you, even the universe is afraid of death."

Suzumoto Emi obviously couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Hayashi Naoto's words. She just wanted to survive.

"Shang Renjun... please... please don't kill me... I really didn't lie to you this time... I was wrong... I was really wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you, I shouldn't have wanted to use you and your sister, I shouldn't... I shouldn't have used Caiyue...

"Hey, Shangren-kun, if you kill me, Nayue will be sad too. If I hadn't always protected her, she would have become a guinea pig on the experimental table, or a plaything for those perverted wealthy businessmen. For Nayue, please, spare my life. I was wrong, I know I was wrong, and I will change!"

Facing the tearful Suzumoto Emi, Hayashi Naoto forced a kind smile and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I won't kill you so easily. Hey, Emi-chan, I actually have another ability, an ability that can control people's feelings and emotions. You still remember the pain just now."

As he spoke, Hayashi Shangren pressed his finger against Suzumoto Emi's forehead.

“Yeah!!!”

In severe pain, Suzumoto Emi let out a scream that was not like a human voice.

Lin Shangren continued slowly, "Aside from pain, I can also make you feel other sensations. For example, I can change your perception of time.

Next, your perception of time will change. Time will flow slower for you, and one second will feel like a year..."

Due to the effect of the Eagle Finger, even though she felt the pain as if thousands of swords were piercing her body and her heart and bones were being torn out, Suzumoto Emi still maintained a clear consciousness and could clearly hear Lin Shangren's words.

"No... please..."

"It's still too short to feel like a year per second. How about this... Huimei-chan should know Zeno's paradox, so I will set your perception of time to be like Zeno's tortoise: so that you can never reach the reality of the next moment." Lin Shangren said with a smile.

The so-called Zeno's tortoise, one of the "Four Mythical Beasts of Physics", is often used to refute the continuity of time and space: time and space are infinitely divided by a geometric progression, so you cannot go from one point to another, or from one second to the next.

The "flying arrow is motionless" in Zhuangzi's "Tianxia" is similar to Zeno's tortoise. I won't go into details here, just think of it as "Pinduoduo cuts the price":

If Suzumoto Emi is in this state, her consciousness will be trapped in this second forever.

To some extent, Lin Shangren helped her realize her dream of conscious immortality, but she needed to endure the pain and torture of "eternity" in this subjectively perceived immortality.

"Please...kill...me..."

A second passed quickly in the real world. Lin Shangren retracted his fingers, and Suzumoto Huimei's eyes lost their luster, but she was still alive.

Hayashi Shangren still showed mercy, because... he couldn't really set Suzumoto Emi's perception of time to the state of "Zeno's paradox", he could only settle for the second best and let Suzumoto Emi "feel like billions of years in each second".

After enduring extreme pain for 100 million years under subjective feelings, although Suzumoto Emi was still alive, her consciousness had long been completely collapsed by the torture, and she... gave up thinking.

"Huwu~"

Lin Shangren whistled briskly.

[My Lord, this is much more brutal than Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi... It's scary. ψ(｀??)ψ]

"Indeed, this trick is against the will of nature, so it's better to use it less." Lin Shangren agreed.

His skills were truly outrageous, seemingly unorthodox, but in reality, terrifying. Although he was still a mortal, he was confident that he could use his conceptual abilities to kill or drive insane many beings far more powerful than himself.

"Heh, now that we've dealt with Suzumoto Emi, it's time to get back to business."

Picking up the chubby Aoi Nazuki, Lin Shangren walked towards the petri dish where Rin and Hehuan were imprisoned. The model of the petri dish was the same as the one they were imprisoned in in the future timeline. Lin Shangren quickly rescued Hehuan and Rin, who were still little loli.

"It seems like my hands are not enough. I can't even hold it."

Looking at the two sleeping little lolis and Natsuki who was snoring softly, Lin Shangren made a decision.

"Although this may seem a bit cruel, it is also a helpless move."

He hugged Natsuki's soft body, and then woke her up with the Eagle Finger.

"Hmm... a little... uncomfortable..."

Aoi Caiyue slowly opened her eyes and met Lin Shangren's gaze.

"Naiyue, are you feeling better?" Lin Shangren asked.

"Hmm... I still can't muster any strength."

"It seems that Natsuki's illness is very serious. Only injections can cure it."

As he said this, Lin Shangren's hand had already reached into Aoi Caiyue's arms. Through the loose cotton bra, he could feel that the pink head that he had sucked out had shrunk back into her body.

Feeling Lin Shangren's gentle kneading, Aoi Caiyue cried out: "Ah! Mr. Shangren...don't...be so shy."

Lin Shangren withdrew his "dirty hands" and then went to untie his belt.

Caiyue's face flushed instantly, and she asked shyly, "Do you want to... do it here?"

"We have to make this quick. We have other things to deal with. Natsuki, come on, open your mouth."

Chapter 45: Stars in Dreams

"Are you going to bite Mr. Shangren here...? Now?"

Aoi Nazuki was a little confused, but she subconsciously reached out to unbutton her shirt.

"Natsuki, what are you going to do?"

Aoi Natsuki blinked her watery eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she said softly: "Didn't Mr. Shangren say last night that I should use my breasts to hold the back half? Because Mr. Shangren's is too long and it will press against Natsuki's throat and make it uncomfortable."

"Ah... no... this time I'm simply helping you detoxify. Natsuki has important things to do after she recovers."

"Recover your spirits... But Mr. Shangren doesn't look very energetic~" Caiyue leaned over and blew on the flagpole that Lin Shangren had not yet raised, "Huff~ Wake up, Mr. Shangren. Sniff~ Sniff~ Ahwu..."

Feeling Caiyue's moist and hot mouth and soft tongue, Lin Shangren immediately became alert.

“Wu…Wu…cough cough…”

Natsuki couldn't help but cough dryly when something suddenly hit her throat, but she still began to stutter.

"Hi~"

To be honest, Lin Shangren really wanted to fully enjoy the tender time with Caiyue, but now was not the time. He could only "bear the pain" and put his fingers on her neck.

"Natsuki, it's coming out."

"Eh? Ugh!"

The Eagle Finger activated, and a large amount of "Secondary Panacea" poured down Aoi Nazuki's throat. She instinctively spat out the still hard "syringe" and kept coughing:

"Ahem... ahem... Mr. Shangren, this is too sudden!"

Lin Shangren gently stroked Aoi Nayue's back and said, "Sorry... Um, Nayue, are you feeling better?"

"Hmm...feels better."

Aoi Nayue wiped the corner of her mouth, then licked the burnt blood off her hands, just like a kitten.

Lin Shangren helped Aoi Caiyue fasten the buttons on her chest and said, "Caiyue, I need your help later. Can you help me hold these two children?"

"child?"

Only then did Aoi Nazuki notice the two sleeping girls lying behind Lin Shangren.

"So cute... Hey, what you just did... Wow! That's so embarrassing, Mr. Shangren!"

Aoi Nazuki covered her red cheeks.

"It's okay... They were both asleep and didn't see how upset you were, Natsuki." Lin Shangren comforted her, "They are also victims of the Eden Organization. We have to take them with us."

"Um... oh... so that's it."

Aoi Caiyue lowered her hands and revealed her eyes. She looked at Lin Shangren eagerly: "Then... Mr. Shangren... where is the teacher? Do you want to take the teacher away? Although she did something excessive, but... she is really good to Caiyue... even if...

No no... Let's listen to Mr. Naoto... But, Natsuki still... But... Ugh..."

"Caiyue?" Lin Shangren asked with concern.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Naoto. Natsuki, Natsuki doesn't know what to do." Aoi Natsuki whispered sadly, "Natsuki hasn't figured out how to be a free person. Natsuki knows that the teacher only treats Natsuki as a pet... But, she is so good to Natsuki, Natsuki can't... can't forget... even if she has ulterior motives. I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Mr. Naoto."

"It's okay, Caiyue doesn't need to apologize." Lin Shangren stroked Aoi Caiyue's head gently, "Caiyue didn't do anything... The ones who are wrong are this damn organization and those guilty people."

Lin Shangren knew clearly that not only Aoi Caiyue, but also the other students in Rokukeikan Academy, who had lived in a huge lie since childhood, would be confused and unsure of where to go after suddenly regaining their freedom.

It is difficult for a caged bird that has never experienced freedom to suddenly become a free bird.

"It's okay, Caiyue." Lin Shangren continued, "It's okay..."

"Wow... Mr. Shangren, can you help me make the decision? Before I... Before I learn to make the decision on my own."

Caiyue buried her face in Lin Shangren's chest, and she finally chose to escape temporarily.

Looking at Caiyue hiding in his arms, Lin Shangren did not feel helpless or any other unhappy emotions. He said in a gentle and calm tone:

"Suzumoto Emi was indeed very kind to Natsuki, but it was she and the organization behind her who turned Natsuki and many innocent children into experimental subjects.

Her kindness to Caiyue was not out of equal love, but rather charity from the oppressor to the oppressed, to satisfy her own sense of superiority. Therefore... she deserves to be punished."

"Ugh... Natsuki knows."

Caiyue raised her head again and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Shangren."

"Come on, Natsuki, we should get down to business."

The two stood up again, walked over to the sleeping Hehuan and Linyin, and picked them up respectively.

"Mr. Shangren, are we leaving?" Natsuki asked.

"Do not."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren once again walked in front of the paradise system.

"Who is this? There's another person in here." Aoi Nazuki also came over and asked curiously, "Mr. Shangren, who is she? She looks like this child. Are they sisters?"

"I don't know either. It should be a learning problem." Lin Shangren said.

"Byakuya Rinone, a girl who, despairing of the world, chose to commit suicide. You, lost in a dream of false happiness, would you mind waking up for a moment?"
