An infinite journey starting from paradise

[Hehehe~ Actually, even if you've read the original, Master, it's useless. Because in this universe, everything has been magically altered~ (??ω?)?]

Lin Shangren shook his head and ignored Xiao Ai. Instead, he flipped open the copy of the Dark Bible. He turned the pages and saw a strange text filled with words that Lin Shangren didn't recognize at all.

"It looks like Latin, but it's not. Is that how you pronounce 'chicken...thief...die'? It sounds like the name of the eldest brother of the Hong family. Let's check it out."

【Name: Demonic language?】

[Note: This appears to be a demon language transcribed by humans, and there appear to be some transcription errors.]

"Demon language?" Lin Shangren rubbed his neck and asked in his heart, "Xiao Ai, is Demon language also considered a foreign language? In that case..."

While thinking, Lin Shangren put on Bruce Hearn's mask.

[Prop Card: Bruce Hearn's Mask]

[Item Description: China's own Batman, Hou Tianlai, the black mask of Mr. Hou. Wearing it will greatly improve your foreign language learning ability and increase your chances of successfully persuading the opposite sex.]

[Item Notes: Although Mr. Hou's acting range is enviable, he is truly a first-class actor, not a third-class actor!]

"It's great to learn foreign languages. I love learning foreign languages ​​the most. Thank you, Dean Chen Qingquan~"

After Lin Shangren put on the mask, the originally obscure characters in the book gradually became understandable.

"Damn it, scumbag, die, Nastana Road, scumbag, die? Is this the spell used to summon demons? And the method of carving the magic circle, the choice of sacrifice... Tsk, it seems that the person who copied this book doesn't understand demon language at all. Is there something wrong with it? Hmm..."

Lin Shangren kept flipping through the pages of the book.

"There are many parts that are incomprehensible to the language, and the only relatively complete ones are a few spells.

What... Naked Dancing Spell, Instant Spell... I don't think they're as versatile as Eagle Finger...

Having said that, Lin Shangren still memorized these complete spells.

"Magic? Interesting... So, what is this basically?"

Lin Shangren put the manuscript of "Dark Bible" into his shadow, and then picked up the second book.

"'The Egg of Nenis', this seems like an ordinary novel?"

"Brother Shangren."

Ximei's voice interrupted Lin Shangren's thoughts.

"The bed... is made."

Chapter 80 The Library and Its Toilets

On the snow-white bed sheets, Takigawa Yumi's black hair was spread out, her exposed snow-white shoulders stretched out to both sides like lotus roots, the hem of her pajamas was piled up on her slender waist, her two slender thighs were slightly spread out to both sides, and her round buttocks formed an arc.

She looked at Lin Shangren, her eyes full of smiles and anticipation.

Lin Shangren chuckled and leaned over Takigawa Yumi. He whispered in her ear in a gentle tone: "Go to sleep, you are very tired today."

As Lin Shangren spoke gently, a feeling of happiness mixed with a strong sense of sleepiness flooded into Takigawa Yumi's mind. Her eyes became blurry, and then she fell into a deep sleep. The slight curve of her mouth showed that she must have had a beautiful dream.

"Good night."

Lin Shangren gently covered her with the quilt, and then took out the book "The Egg of Nennis" from the shadows.

[Name: "Nenis's Egg"]

Quality: Excellent binding, engineering items, average workmanship

【Status: Complete】

[Producer/Author: Kinokuniya Publishing/Ge Chengxin]

[Note: This novel is by emerging writer Ge Chengxin, telling the story of a young girl who journeys through hell and saves her mother.]

"Girls Wandering in Hell?"

Lin Shangren flipped through the book with great interest.

The book "The Egg of Nenis" was not very thick, and Lin Shangren read fast enough, so he finished the whole book soon.

The content of this book is very simple, just like the notes for the Eye of Innocence appraisal:

A girl journeys to Hell to save her mother. As she wanders Hell, she collects her mother's remains. Once she has collected her mother's body parts, she can make a wish to the Black Egg and resurrect her. However, despite her quest throughout Hell, she cannot find her mother's head. It turns out that her mother's head is inside the Black Egg she holds, ready to hatch when the time is right.

Unfortunately, the girl broke the Black Egg prematurely, causing her mother's unformed head to dissolve into a pool of pus that flowed across the ground. Unbeknownst to the girl, she had already shattered her own hopes of resurrecting her mother. Like Sisyphus pushing a stone, she continued to wander Hell, searching in vain for her mother's head.

"This is a dark fairy tale with a Gothic feel. The problem is... the description of Hell in this book is completely copied from The Divine Comedy. The only difference is that the narrators are replaced by a young girl searching for her mother's body instead of Dante and Virgil, and Beatrice's role is also transformed into a so-called "Hell of the Immortals"!

"But... this is a key clue. Christian Hell, limb collection, black eggs, and the floating of the sky? The stupid and apologetic talent is stolen and the crazy and desperate efforts are made to cross the line.

So, could it be that he collected the body parts of the dead in order to resurrect someone?"

Lin Shangren fell into deep thought.

"Currently, at least three victims are known to have died. Hotaru Koizumi lost his left arm, Haruka Imazumi lost everything except his head, and the owner of the limbs found with Haruka Imazumi's head is unknown. Assuming the limbs belong to Yui Nishizono, then the murderer has collected a head, two torsos, a set of limbs, and a spare left arm. This is enough to piece together a single individual.

But judging by his act of chopping off Hotaru Koizumi's left arm, he seemed dissatisfied with his set of limbs. Was he selecting the most perfect parts of the deceased in order to create a perfect body?

No... If he wanted to resurrect someone, then the thing he should keep most should be the head of the person he wanted to resurrect.

Could it be Nishizono Yui?

If we can confirm that the limbs truly belong to Nishizono Yui, and her head is not found in subsequent cases, then this can be confirmed."

Lin Shangren made a plan. He had to collect some of Xiyuan Wei's personal belongings tomorrow to collect her fingerprints and compare them with those of the corpse.

“This trip was really fruitful.”

Lin Shangren looked at the sleeping Takigawa Yumi with tender eyes. He naturally didn't have any feelings for this girl he had known for less than half a day. But...it was possible that love would develop over time.

If Takigawa Yumi herself is willing, Lin Shangren doesn't mind taking in this helpless little girl.

If that's the case, it would be too casual.

Lin Shangren actually doesn't like sleeping in the same bed with girls he meets by chance, especially those he meets by chance in a bar.

This is certainly a pleasant way to relieve sexual desire, and it is also quite enjoyable to hug girls and touch each other's bodies.

What made him unhappy was the morning they parted ways. He woke to find a strange girl fast asleep beside him, the room reeking of alcohol. The lingering hangover had left him groggy. A moment later, the girl opened her eyes, fumbling around for her underwear. As she put on her stockings, she said, "Did you really not cum inside me last night? I was in my climax."

Then she went back to putting on her eyelashes and makeup in front of the mirror, mumbling to herself about things like a headache and putting on makeup.

The frivolous sexual escapades of twenty-first-century urban youth. Lin Shangren had experienced this only once in his previous life, leaving him feeling incredibly empty and bored. But his friend Hou Yi reveled in it endlessly.

"It's rare to find a girl who's completely devoted to you. If you feel empty, it means you're a 'gentleman'. Congratulations, I didn't use a condom." Hou Yi said, "Sleeping with a girl you don't know is futile, no matter how much you sleep with her, it will only make you exhausted and self-loathing. I'm the same. Of course, this is only during sage time..."

"A gentleman?"

Lin Shangren shook his head and continued to think about the case.

"We're starting to see some clues in the second case. But the first case, the one with the body in the lake, is still completely unresolved. That case is full of contradictions.

The condition of the body confirms that the killer was a highly intelligent killer with advanced anatomical knowledge. He removed the tattoo on the arm, seemingly to conceal the body's identity. But why didn't he destroy the face? That doesn't make sense..."

With all kinds of questions in mind, Lin Shangren lay down beside Takigawa Yumi and closed his eyes.

【Eh~ Are you going to sleep already? ⊙▽⊙】

Lin Shangren, Lin Shangren. The bandits haven't been completely annihilated, the cultists haven't been wiped out, and the great ideal of communism hasn't been realized. How can you indulge in the pleasures of life?!

[How can you sleep at your age? Stop sleeping, go out and kill someone!]

"You... the last time I slept was when that female demon dragged me into the warp. Can't you just let me take a nap for a while?"

The "Little Bird Healer" can cure the abnormal state of "sleepiness," allowing Lin Shangren to always maintain his optimal state of energy. But Lin Shangren still wants to take a nap. Not to rest or relieve mental fatigue, but simply to make himself more human.

"Forget it, let's go do something."

Lin Shangren opened his eyes again.

"Go to the dock and get some chips."

【what? 】

"Go to the US military base in Japan and get some high explosives."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren's body slipped into the shadows.

……

The next morning.

Takigawa Yumi slowly opened her eyes.

"Naito…brother?"

No one responded.

She sat up and saw only an empty bed.

"He left...was he left behind..."

A feeling of sadness rose in her heart.

Then she smelled a fragrance.

Takigawa Yumi walked out of bed barefoot, pushed open the bedroom door, and then saw Lin Shangren frying eggs in the kitchen.

"You're awake." Lin Shangren said, "Then hurry up and wash up. And pack your luggage by the way."

"Eh?"

"It's too unsafe for you to live here alone, so I'm planning to have you move in with me," Lin Shangren said. "How about that? Is that okay?"

"Well...I...I'll go right away." Takigawa Yumi said happily.

"Hmph~ I have to take her to school later. Then I have to go to work at Sakuraha Girls' College. I have to give lectures, collect information about the cult, and collect Nishizono Yui's fingerprints. I have to confirm the information of Yumi's mother... After that, I have to go to Takagi Hospital, and tonight I have to blow up Sugamo Prison..."

Thinking about what to do today, Lin Shangren flipped the fried egg in the pan.

……

After sending Takigawa Yumi to Oizumi College, Hayashi Naoto drove to Sakuraba Girls' College.

Just like yesterday, the female students in their white uniforms entered the school gates in silence. They looked lifeless. Tsukishima Orihime and the student council members stood guard at the entrance, greeting the students and checking their appearance.

"It's still like this... Tsk..."

"Good morning, Teacher Lin!"

An overly cheerful voice came from behind Lin Shangren, obviously from Forty-nomiya Tsuzuko.

"Eh? Didn't the teacher come with Zi Zi today?"

"She is currently staying at Teacher Kuanzi's house." Lin Shangren replied.

"Teacher Hiroko? That's so kind of you. And you drove in a different direction today than yesterday. Could it be that you and Teacher Takashiro... hehehe~"

Lin Shangren said: "She's a good girl, why is she such a gossip?"

"Because I'm interested in you, Sensei," Tsuiko said playfully. "A rebellious priest, investigating something unknown, and even entangled with someone else's best friend. You're a much better source for my story than the mysterious President Tsukishima."

"Writing material...?"

"How about 'The Girls' School Master'? Or 'The Weird Priest of the Church Girls' School'?"

"Hey, hey, are you writing an erotic novel? These two names are definitely wrong, right?" Lin Shangren complained.

"teacher LIN?"

A calm male voice came from behind Lin Shangren.

"It's Mr. Kusaka, good morning." Lin Shangren and Kusaka Tatsuhiko greeted them.

"What are you doing...?"

"Say hello to the students." Lin Shangren said.

"This……"

Tatsuhiko Kusaka seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

"what happened?"

"Teacher Lin." Kusaka Tatsuhiko took a deep breath. "This is a girls' school after all. We male teachers still have to keep our distance from the students. Even if we have a good relationship in private, even if we are siblings, we shouldn't get too close in school. If something goes wrong..."

"But this is the school gate, not the school itself." Lin Shangren interrupted Kusaka Tatsuhiko. "Besides, that school rule will be revised soon."

Tatsuhiko Kusaka opened his mouth but said nothing. He just shook his head and walked into the campus.

"Have you become a Taoist scholar at such a young age?"

Lin Shangren also shook his head, and then walked into the school with Zhuizi.
