An infinite journey starting from paradise

Thinking about it, Lin Shangren reached out to the paradise system. Although he could not break through the high-voltage current protection of the paradise system, he could try to use the sure-hit attack and the eagle finger to wake up the sleeping Sleeping Beauty from a distance.

Lin Shangren pointed his finger into the air, silently muttering, "Wake up, Sleeping Beauty. Eagle Finger is activated, the effect is 'wake up from the shock of stepping on empty air.'"

[My Lord, this effect is too vicious.]

In the petri dish, Sleeping Beauty's feet did kick, but she did not wake up.

"Ok?"

Lin Shangren originally wanted to wake up Sleeping Beauty so that he could confirm whether she really wanted to die, so that he could destroy the paradise system with peace of mind. Of course, if there was really no way to confirm this, Lin Shangren would also "sacrifice" this Sleeping Beauty, whom he had never met, for Hehuan and the others.

"It seems that we still have to use force."

Just when Lin Shangren was about to draw out Feng Ling Yue Ying and use one strike to break through the defense and solve the problem of the paradise system, his spider sense suddenly sounded an alarm.

The Paradise System's petri dish emitted a powerful light, instantly enveloping a twenty-meter radius around the Paradise System.

Lin Shangren was just about to activate the Shadow Swamp to protect Natsuki and the others, but he failed in one step.

He just felt his eyes go dark and fell into a coma.

……

【End of the celebration ψ(｀??)ψ】

"what?"

Hearing the arrogant voice of the system mother, Lin Shangren opened his eyes again.

"Xiao Ai, what's going on?"

Lin Shangren looked around in confusion, only to find that it was completely dark and he couldn't see his hand in front of him.

[Because your bold behavior triggered Sleeping Beauty's defense mechanism, you and your companions were pulled into the dream. ]

"In a dream? Sleeping Beauty's dream? Isn't it said that her dream was extremely happy? Why is it pitch black?" Lin Shangren asked in confusion.

[This is not the dream of Sleeping Beauty, but the dream of Hehuan Zhenzhong. ]

[Because her special soul can influence the consciousness of all humans in this universe, after the defense mechanism was triggered, you entered her dream first.]

"Hehuan's dream? Pitch black, nothing... Why is it like this?"

Because the Eden Organization had erased almost all of her previous memories and emotions, even her dreams were pitch black.

Thinking about it, Lin Shangren reached over his body and placed a flashlight in the shadow on his chest. Before his hand touched his chest, Lin Shangren suddenly realized that this was a dream and he should not be able to use the power of the shadow marsh.

"Damn... at least there has to be some light."

The moment Lin Shangren said this, a faint light suddenly appeared around him, and the golden light spots flew around his body like fireflies.

"This...? God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light?"

Thinking, Lin Shangren said loudly: "Let there be light, bright light."

Sure enough, those firefly-like light spots gathered into a ball of light, illuminating the surrounding environment: this seemed to be a cave, with nothing around it except stone walls.

No... there's another person lying on the ground.

"Hmm…Is it daybreak yet?"

Under the illumination of the light, Aoi Nazuki, who was lying on the ground, woke up again and slowly sat up.

"Natsuki, are you okay?"

Lin Shangren walked forward and helped Caiyue up.

"Ah... Mr. Shangren, where... where is this?"

"This is a dream. We are dreaming." Lin Shangren explained.

"Eh? Dream...ah!"

Aoi Nazuki suddenly cried out, "They're gone, Mr. Shangren, the two children are gone!"

"It's okay, we'll go find them now." Lin Shangren said.

"Because it's a dream, everything you wish for can come true. Is this the true function of the Paradise System? Everyone in the dream can change everything in the dream at will."

[That's right, the full version of the Paradise system is capable of achieving this level of simulation, a completely controllable dream.]

[Since Hehuan was only affected, the core of the paradise system is still the Sleeping Beauty Byakuya Rinone, so now only you and Natsuki are pulled into the dream.]

"I understand." Lin Shangren answered in his heart.

Then he said, "Take me and Natsuki to find Hehuan and Rin'in."

The next moment, the scenery around Lin Shangren and Aoi Caiyue changed rapidly, from a relatively wide cave to a small and dark cave.

In this narrow cave, there are two little girls in white dresses, one with black hair and the other with brown hair, snuggling together.

Seeing Lin Shangren and Aoi Caiyue suddenly appear, Hehuan quickly protected Lin Yin behind her. She pretended to be brave and said in a trembling voice: "Who...who are you? Don't...don't come over..."

Linyin huddled up in fear, sobbing, "Don't... don't hit me, it hurts... it hurts... wuwuwu..."

Looking at the two poor girls, Lin Shangren squatted down and stretched out his hand, as if to indicate that he was not a bad person.

He whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. I'm here to save you. Hehuan, Linyin... Believe me, I'm not a bad person."

Although Lin Shangren's attitude was sincere, He Huan still stared at him and Cai Yue warily:

"You...you don't come over here..."

Seeing the girls like frightened little animals, Aoi Nayue couldn't help but feel extremely sad. She wanted to hug the two poor little girls, but she was afraid to scare them. She had no choice but to ask Lin Shangren for help: "Mr. Shangren, what should we do? They... are so pitiful."

"Yes...even the dream was filled with darkness and despair, with only the two of them huddling together for warmth. Even the people trapped in the cave in the cave theory could see reflections of the outside world. However, they, stripped of everything, were left with only darkness."

Thinking, Lin Shangren began to build starlight around him. He wanted Hehuan and Linyin to see the most beautiful scene he had ever seen - the sea of ​​possibilities.

The bright starlight soon surrounded everyone.

Hehuan, who was originally alert and nervous, was also attracted by this magnificent scene.

"Wow...what is this? It's so beautiful!"

“It’s the stars.”

While the girls were stunned, Lin Shangren walked to their side.

The author says:

Author's words: There is another chapter in the evening~

Chapter 46: I May Be Able to Realize the Dreams of All Humanity

Facing the dazzling sea of ​​stars, He Huan muttered in a daze: "Stars... shining brightly, I should have seen them before, right? I can't remember..."

"Does Hehuan like stars?" Lin Shangren asked softly.

"ah!"

He Huan was startled. She looked at Lin Shangren warily: "What...what do you want to do?"

Lin Shangren waved his finger, drawing a Milky Way in the sea of ​​stars. He said, "Great, stars, right?"

"Hmm... I remember I should have seen it before." He Huan whispered, "But... I can't remember clearly."

"Acacia?"

Lin Shangren squatted down and looked straight at the lovely girl in front of him.

"Hehuan? Why do you call me that? Is this my name?" the girl asked in confusion. She seemed to have let down her guard.

"Yes, Hehuan, the real Hehuan, that's your name." Lin Shangren said, and wanted to touch Hehuan's head, but she avoided him.

"Don't...don't touch my head!"

"Okay, sorry sorry."

Lin Shangren smiled warmly.

He Huan continued timidly, "Um... can you tell me about my past, big brother? I only vaguely remember living with many people. But I can't remember what they looked like..."

Lin Shangren did not answer, but asked: "Has Hehuan always stayed in this cave?"

"Well... I've been here all alone for so long..." He Huan said with a gloomy expression, "Then, she came. She was just like me, she didn't know who she was. She was very timid, and she said there was a bad guy outside who would beat her up, and it would hurt a lot."

Lin Yin, who was hiding behind He Huan, poked her head out slightly. She looked at Lin Shangren timidly: "Well... he's not a bad guy. He's not that bad guy."

"Don't be afraid, the bad guys are gone." Lin Shangren said soothingly.

Looking at the pitiful Rin, he felt that he had been too gentle when he had dismembered Hokari Ei with a chainsaw. If conditions allowed, he would find four big, thinly clothed men in the Amazon rainforest to show that scumbag the meaning of despair.

"But... I'm still so scared..."

Linyin hid behind Hehuan again.

Lin Shangren was not very good at comforting children, and faced with such a situation, he was a little overwhelmed. He looked at Aoi Caiyue as if asking for help:

"Nayuki..."

"Wow, Mr. Shangren, they are so pitiful, wow... those guys... the people from the Eden Organization are really... damnable."

Seeing that Caiyue couldn't provide any help, Lin Shangren could only use his best method of coaxing children.

"Rin, Hehuan... do you want some candy?"

Lin Shangren stretched out his hand, and a few fruit candies appeared in his hand.

"Sugar? I remember! It's something sweet!" Hehuan said in surprise.

In the orphanage, eating delicious fruit candies was a very happy and profound memory for Hehuan, so there are still some memories of this part remaining in her mind.

Rin asked in confusion, "Sugar...? What is it?"

Yes, this cloned girl, born in a petri dish, had never seen sugar. She didn't even know what sweetness was…sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty—she had never tasted any flavor. She had never seen the stars, the sky, the sun, or anything beautiful in the world.

She only had a body that was artificially matured to the age of seven and a language that was instilled in her. Her memories were only of the pure white walls and ceiling of the laboratory, and the hideous demon who constantly tortured her with pain.

"Would you like to try it, Rinne?"

Lin Shangren peeled off the candy wrapper and brought the candy close to Linyin's small lips: "Try it, hold it in your mouth for a while, don't swallow it directly."

"Well."

Lin Yin tentatively bit the candy in Lin Shangren's hand, and then her face blossomed with an unprecedented expression of happiness. In Lin Shangren's eyes, Lin Yin's happy look overlapped with her in the future timeline.

Lin Shangren clenched his fists, then opened them immediately. He turned to the two girls and asked, "Hehuan, Linyin, do you want to go out with me? Outside the cave, there are more beautiful things waiting for us in the wider world. Okay?"

Looking at the hand that Lin Shangren extended, He Huan was a little hesitant: "Shall we go out and take a look? I'm a little... a little scared..."

"Wow... there are bad guys outside..." Linyin said weakly, "But, if there's candy, it's not a problem..."

Lin Yin timidly grabbed Lin Shangren's hand.

He Huan finally grabbed Lin Shangren's hand: "Can we just... hold hands like this forever?"

"Of course." Lin Shangren said with a smile, "If Hehuan is scared, you can hold on tighter. The same goes for Linyin."

"Um…"

The two girls nodded.

"Natsuki, come on, let's all get out of this cave together."

"it is good!"

The four of them held hands, and then the surrounding environment began to change rapidly. The narrow, dark cave turned into an open field, and the rocks under their feet turned into soft grass. A breeze blew, carrying a hint of grass and dew, brushing Lin Shangren's cheek.

"Wow! That's amazing! So beautiful!"

Hehuan raised his head and saw a clear and bright night sky. Although it was not as gorgeous as the sea of ​​possibilities constructed by Lin Shangren, it was more peaceful and beautiful.

"The wind... is cool..."

Hehuan opened her arms, feeling the breeze passing by her side, gazing at the night sky. She was even reluctant to close her eyes.

"It's really beautiful."

Linyin released Lin Shangren's hand and took a step, attempting to run, spin... This was her first time moving freely. Her steps were awkward, and she even tripped accidentally. But, lying on the soft grass, she didn't cry out in pain like a normal child would. Instead, she smiled.

"It's wonderful... the world outside."

"Yes."

Lin Shangren also sat on the grass, and Aoi Nayue held his arm and leaned on his shoulder.

Looking at the joyful Hehuan and Rin, Natsuki whispered, "Mr. Shangren... For the first time, I felt how precious this sky and everything I could feel were."
