An infinite journey starting from paradise

[State: Fear, despair, pain]

[Note: This frightened good girl needs to be comforted quickly.]

Lin Shangren walked up to Zi, placed his hand on her forehead, and whispered, "Heal."

In fact, he was using the Eagle Finger to calm Zi's emotions.

"It's okay, I'm not a bad person. After my first aid, your brother is fine."

Zi came back to his senses and took a closer look at Lin Shangren, the 6'8" tall black-clad burly man. He instinctively stepped back, "Don't come over here! Who are you?! What have you done to my brother?! Don't come over here! Help!!"

"I told you, I'm not a bad person, and your brother is just in a coma. As for my identity..."

At this moment, the prompt sound of [Devil's Fake Passport] rang in Lin Shangren's mind.

[The identity has been written. Please enjoy your adventure in this world boldly.]

[Your identity in this world is...]

Chapter 59: Within three days, you will be "open-minded"

【Name：Lin Shangren】

[Race: human male]

[Identity in this world: Party member, assassin, quasi-teacher, pseudo-priest]

[Note: A war orphan of Chinese living in Japan, a resilient young man who grew up alone. On the surface, he's an ordinary young man who's just returned from studying in the United States, but in reality, he's a criminal hunter waiting for an opportunity to punish evildoers.]

Then, a small piece of memory information flooded into Lin Shangren's mind.

As the trial of Japanese war criminals who invaded China was imminent, the Japanese Communist Party and radical factions of Chinese organizations in Japan began a series of cleanup operations against war criminals who had escaped the Tokyo Trial: mainly by investigating and confirming other crimes, ending their political lives and sending them to prison.

As a conservative, you think the actions of the radicals are too conservative, so you decide to act alone and use physical means to end the biological lives of those beasts.

Recently, you discovered that a comrade from the Japanese Communist Party was investigating a far-right official who escaped the Tokyo Trial. He seemed to have made considerable progress, but he also seemed to be being targeted by the other side. So you decided to secretly protect him, but ended up just witnessing him being attacked...

"Fuck!"

Lin Shangren was undoubtedly surprised to see his identity in this world. He immediately thought of a very important question: "What year is it now?"

"The motherland is about to try the war criminals who invaded China, that is, before June 1956..."

Thinking, Lin Shangren looked around and saw a calendar on the wall on the right.

"Showa 31... That's 1956. January 14th. This date is a bit tricky. Whether I'm killing those bastards in Japan or returning home and applying my knowledge... I can do a lot!"

Although he was very excited, Lin Shangren remained calm on the surface. He said to Tokisaka Yukari, "I am your brother's comrade. He is out of danger for the time being. You should go see him first."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren stepped aside to make way.

Seeing this, Tokisaka Yukari hurriedly ran to Tokisaka Reito's side to check his injuries.

"Blood...Brother, he lost a lot of blood...Brother!"

Tokisaka Yukari hugged Tokisaka Reito's body and began to cry bitterly.

Although Tokisaka Reito's back was soaked in blood, the wound he had sustained had already healed. His breathing was also relatively steady. Soon, Yukari felt the rise and fall of Reito's chest. Only then did she realize her brother was still alive.

Lin Shangren ignored the Tokisaka siblings and instead squatted down and began to examine the bodies of the two masked men.

"No obvious features. Besides a pistol, bullets, and a dagger, he only had a few scattered banknotes on him... Is he a professional killer or a death squad? Damn, this guy's belt is almost untied.

That's not right... Why would this person try to rape that girl? "

Generally speaking, if the purpose of a professional killer is just to kill, then after killing the target, he will quickly destroy the evidence and escape, and will never do too many unnecessary things.

If the intention was to humiliate the victim, the elder brother should have committed the crime first, humiliating the siblings before killing them.

"We still have too little information... We can't even confirm the purpose of these two guys."

"Ok!"

Just at this moment, Lin Shangren's spider-sensor alarm sounded.

"Shadow Touch."

Lin Shangren closed his eyes slightly and activated his new ability, Shadow Touch, developed from the Shadow Swamp. Using it, he could liquefy all shadows within a certain radius, centered around himself, by a few microns. This allowed him to sense the movement of objects within the shadows and assess their surroundings. Because the depth of the liquefied shadows was imperceptible, this technique didn't drain Lin Shangren's energy significantly, making it difficult for enemies to detect his detection.

“Someone is approaching with strong hostility.

coming! "

Just before the killer entered the room, Lin Shangren teleported in front of the Tokisaka siblings. When the killer entered the room with a gun in hand, Lin Shangren opened the "Three Thousand Kills" in his hand.

The pitch-black bulletproof umbrella deflected the whistling bullets. Lin Shangren pulled the trigger of the hook rope, and an extremely sharp spike with a barb popped out from the tip of the umbrella. Then the entire umbrella tip shot out, dragging the rope with it.

After the umbrella tip pierced the attacker's chest, severing his spine and exiting from behind, the barbs on it unfurled. Lin Shangren gently pulled, and the shark-toothed barbs embedded themselves deeply into the killer's flesh.

The killer's spine was broken, and he lost the ability to move. His legs gave way and he fell to his knees. But he didn't drop the gun and wanted to fire back. Unfortunately, he would never be able to lift his arms again.

"As expected of me, I'm a pretty accurate shooter. Haha, judging by the situation, even if I don't kill him, the best outcome for him is high-level paraplegia."

Although the enemy had lost the ability to resist, Lin Shangren did not completely let down his guard. After using Shadow Touch to confirm that there were no more enemies nearby, he turned around and asked about the situation of the Tokisaka siblings.

"Are you guys okay?"

"Ah... ah?"

Everything happened so fast that Tokisaka Shizuka, who was protected by the black umbrella, didn't realize what was happening. She only heard a few gunshots and the man's screams.

"It's okay. I've already dealt with the accomplices of those two people." Lin Shangren said with a smile, "Tokisaka... Zi, right? You are Comrade Tokisaka Reito's sister. You'd better step aside for a while. What's about to happen is not suitable for a girl to see."

"Eh?"

As he spoke, Lin Shangren lightly pulled the trigger and released the umbrella. The rope at the front of the umbrella straightened, and then the entire umbrella flew towards the man, almost "pinning" him there, and the dark umbrella cover just happened to block his miserable appearance.

“Aa ...

The killer let out a hysterical scream.

Lin Shangren walked over slowly, looking down at the killer with a cold gaze.

【Name: Chrysanthemum Steps Aspirations】

[Race: human male]

[Identity: ツAttached to the inspection and diagnosis of the 5th pen frame]

[Status: Severely injured, paralyzed, in pain]

【Note: This guy might have something important on him.】

Lin Shangren gripped the umbrella handle and began to twist it slowly. He said, "Mr. Killer, can you tell me your purpose? As a rule, I don't like to torture people. So, can you cooperate? Leniency for confession, severity for resistance."

His tone was gentle, but his hands did not stop moving. The alloy barb that penetrated deep into the flesh had already torn off a large piece of skin.

"Ah! Stop it! I'm telling you, I'm telling you! Stop it now! I'm confessing everything! We...we were just trying to rob someone...we were just trying to steal some money...Please call the police and have them arrest me. You don't need to get your hands stained with blood because of a nobody like me...Ah! Ahhhh!"

Lin Shangren tugged at the umbrella handle, pushing the hook deeper. "Weave, keep weaving. Come, let me remind you.

After hearing the words "the father of the son ...

"not good!"

Realizing that this guy might commit suicide, Lin Shangren kicked him in the chin with a side kick, and the leather boot with steel plates inside directly dislocated the killer's jaw.

However, Lin Shangren was still one step too late, because the killer did not commit suicide by poison or biting his tongue, but by... magic.

A black pattern resembling bat wings and a uterus appeared on the man's forehead. Then his eyes rolled back and his body shrank at a visible speed, ultimately transforming into a "mummy."

"Ah? What's going on?"

Lin Shangren pulled out his umbrella and began to check the condition of the mummy.

"This guy...it's like he was drained of energy in an instant. Why is this happening?"

"…Hmm? What is this?"

Lin Shangren found a file bag inside the mummy's clothes. After opening it, he discovered that it was full of materials about a politician named Abe Keisuke.

The materials show that Abe Keizo had committed countless crimes during the invasion of China. When he was a member of parliament in Japan, he neglected his duties, accepted bribes, and engaged in corruption. He also had ties with the Japanese government and the Chinese government.

"These should be the evidence investigated by Comrade Tokisaka. Then this group of killers were sent by this bastard named Abe to kill people and destroy evidence." Lin Shangren analyzed in his mind.

"Your last name is Abe, you're involved in a cult, and you're a devil. Fine, I must help you 'open your mind.'"

Lin Shangren mentally passed judgment on the bastard. He didn't need the Grand Assassin, Yamagami-kun, to be accurate with his spear. But... a single shot would be too easy for the bastard. Lin Shangren wanted to teach him the true meaning of "Zeno's Prison of Pain."

"Um...what on earth happened...my brother...and these people..."

From behind Lin Shangren came the trembling voice of Tokisaka Shizuka. Although she was still frightened, her mind had at least calmed down a lot.

"My name is Lin Shangren, your brother's comrade." Lin Shangren turned around and said, "These guys are most likely assassins sent by Abe Jiezang to assassinate your brother.

Your brother has recently been investigating a corruption case involving Abe, which angered him. So he sent assassins to silence him and retrieve the evidence.

Lin Shangren showed Zi the document in his hand, and then continued: "I noticed this, so I came to remind your brother, and happened to see this scene.

"Thankfully, your brother was lucky; the bullet that hit him wasn't very effective. It didn't penetrate deeply, nor did it create a cavity. He was simply knocked unconscious by the impact. I've already given him first aid, and he should be able to recover in a month or so."

"Is... is that so?" Zi asked doubtfully, "Then what should we do next? Call the police?"

"The police may no longer be credible."

"Huh? Why?" Zi was a little confused.

Lin Shangren explained, "Just now, when I subdued the last killer, he claimed to be a burglar who only wanted to rob the house and begged me to call the police to arrest him. Admittedly, he said this to save his life, but if he were arrested, the documents on him would be exposed. But he wasn't worried about this, which shows that he didn't care if the police saw these important evidence."

"Because they have people in the police force..." Tokisaka Shizuka continued what Hayashi Naoto said.

"Probably."

"Then... what should I do? Oh right... I can contact Brother Yuzumi. He's my brother's good friend and a police officer... No, if this involves some big shot... Brother Yuzumi might be implicated too..."

Tokisaka Shizuka looked at Lin Shangren with a pleading look: "Mr. Lin... What should we do?"

"Of course, contact the organization. Come with me first and go to a safe place." Lin Shangren said.

"Organization...? A safe place...?"

Lin Shangren nodded. He had just completely absorbed the information set by [Devil's Fake Passport], including his several safe houses and contact information with the Japanese Communist Party and Chinese organizations. Although his character was a lone wolf isolated from various organizations, as the saying goes, "All Bolsheviks in the world are one family!"

"It's really convenient, [Devil's Fake Passport]. It gives you an identity and a job, plus a house and a car..."

Lin Shangren pondered and carried Tokisaka Reito on the ground. He said to Tokisaka Yukari, "Ms. Tokisaka, come with me. My car is outside your house. Let's go to my safe house first, and then I will contact our organization."

Chapter 60 Multitasking

A pure black Packard 200 was driving in the night outside Zenpukuji River.

Although Packard had merged with Studebaker due to poor management and would completely disappear two years later, the Packard 200, a car that carried the American dream of a generation, can still be called a "luxury car."

At least in Japan in 1956, those who could afford to drive this car were "Brahmins of the middle class, the best of the best", and of course they could also be "celestial beings" from the upper states.

Lin Shangren, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was quite satisfied with the gifts of this [Devil's Fake Passport]: the 4.7-liter inline eight-cylinder engine had decent horsepower, and the 3-speed manual transmission and 2-speed automatic transmission were not too awkward to drive.

"It's just too conspicuous, which is not conducive to covert operations. But the good thing is that ordinary military and police officers would never dare to stop such an American luxury car."

While thinking, Lin Shangren expanded the task panel.

Objective 1: "Evil Deeds Must Be Repaid": Excommunicate war criminals who have escaped legal justice. (No limit on the number of participants; final reward depends on mission completion. You can request settlement at any time; the mission will be closed after settlement.)

[Goal 2: "I'm just a detective passing by": Solve the mystery and find the real culprit. (Automatically activated when encountering a case, up to five cases. After solving the mystery, you will get a chance to win a prize)]

Objective 3: "Demon Hunter Ginseng": Hunt down demons and demon followers wandering the mortal world. (No limit on the number, rewards depend on completion. You can settle your settlement at any time, and the mission will be closed after settlement.)

"Compared to the last linear mission, this one offers a lot more freedom. Perhaps it's because there's no cosmic interference in this universe. I can play however I want.

It's January 1956 now. I'll spend a few months completing the system's tasks before returning to China to advance science and technology and engage in construction. There's plenty of time. I can even support the international communist movement...

First, I'd complete the system quest. Objective one was a simple matter of confirming the target and then going directly to the Death God's door to call out their names. Objective three would require more time to gather information, as it involved demons, magic, and other mysterious things.

But what about Objective 2, solving the mystery...? This feels like putting "Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishment" between "Blood Battle on the Bund" and "The Witcher." Could it be that the mystery in Objective 2 is related to the other two missions?

Obviously, Lin Shangren cannot know the answer to this question for the time being.

What he had to figure out right now was how to help the Tokisaka siblings.

"We can't simply hand them over to the organization and walk away. After all, the one who wants to kill Comrade Tokisaka is a cult that wields magic...

There is no need to take that person as an example. It is not necessary to take the time to think about the person. The more you think about it, the more you will feel. It is not necessary to take the time to think about the person. The more you think about it, the more you will feel about it.

No, it wasn't so much that the killer unleashed magic, it was more like he triggered a 'self-destruct device' that someone had left on him."
