An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Why do you ask so suddenly?"

"Because... Teacher, you are too strong, but I am like something that has always huddled in its shell. Teacher said that I can treat you as a friend, but friends must have something in common, right?" Dongzi blinked his eyes as calm as a lake and stared at Lin Shangren.

"Are you lonely?" Lin Shangren rubbed his neck. "Occasionally, when I haven't found a home. Because I have no place to stay and no one I can trust, I feel lonely."

"Is that so... So..."

"So what?"

"No, it's nothing."

Dongzi moved away from Lin Shangren.

"Okay, teacher, it's already late, I'd better go back first."

"Hey."

Lin Shangren called out to Dongzi, who had his back to him.

"what happened?"

Lin Shangren hesitated for a moment as his eyes met Dongzi's. Then he simply said, "Be careful on the way back."

After watching Dongzi walk away, Lin Shangren started the car engine.

[Hey~ My Lord, are you interested in this little girl? (?ω?)]

"Because she asked me for help."

Lin Shangren said.

“And I’m going to help.

Memorandum: Investigate the background of Fuyuko Kuchiki. I'll entrust this to Yuzumi, along with the files from Sakuraha Girls' Academy eleven years ago and the case from six years ago."

【Understood～】

My Lord, what are you going to do next? Who are you going to kill tonight?

Lin Shangren stretched out his right hand, and a list slowly emerged from the shadow of his right hand.

"Shinjiro Nakahara, the largest capitalist in Tottori Prefecture, has close ties with a large group of right-wing politicians. Most importantly, he participated in and implemented Japan's policy of releasing counterfeit currency into occupied and liberated areas during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and was deeply involved in the Japanese army's 'Golden Lily' plan to plunder Chinese cultural relics." Lin Shangren read out the information on the list.

[Send his whole family to death tonight? ]

"Are you crazy? I can't fly, so how am I going to get to Tottori Prefecture tonight?"

[You can teleport continuously, chewing high-calorie compressed biscuits to replenish your energy while teleporting twenty meters at a time.

Anyway, it takes almost no time to teleport, and you don't have to worry about hitting the wall, as long as there is a shadow. And at night, there are dark shadows everywhere.

If you want to kill me, just teleport over there~]

"So I don't need to collect intelligence and confirm his residence and other travel information?" Lin Shangren asked helplessly.

「Eh~ I thought you'd already done your research. Turns out you haven't. If not, why are you reading his message? |?ω?｀)」

"My stupid system mother, I told you to send his whole family to hell. He is not in Tokyo, but his son is." Lin Shangren said, and took out a medical record from the shadows.

"Nakahara Yukito, Shinjiro Nakahara's only son. A staff officer of the 9th Division of the Kwantung Army, he directly participated in numerous campaigns against the Anti-Japanese United Army. He was later transferred to the 100th Unit in Changchun... but later returned to Japan due to a bacterial infection, just before the Soviet invasion. He almost got sent to Siberia to dig potatoes, bastard."

He is currently recuperating in the sanatorium of the Rottenwood Institute of Pathology. And… these others in the same sanatorium also deserve to die.”

Lin Shangren rubbed his neck.

"Just said goodbye to Kuchiki Yasumasa's granddaughter, and then you're going to kill someone in his hospital... This... No."

Lin Shangren laughed,

"The ones I killed weren't even human. Besides... I was just doing this for the sidewalk, satisfying my own need to kill people to relieve my boredom."

Lin Shangren pulled out the modified Glock from the shadows: "God doesn't exist, so my gun won't jam."

……

Half an hour later, at the sanatorium behind the Kuchiki Pathology Institute.

Lin Shangren's figure emerged from the shadow of the sanatorium gate. Looking at the waning moon in the sky, he whistled briskly.

"Death, here to collect people."

Lin Shangren's figure disappeared into the darkness again.

In the intensive care unit on the third floor of the sanatorium, Nakahara Yukito lay soundly asleep in his bed. It was only seven o'clock, but having lost half his lung to a bacterial infection, he had lost his normal sleep schedule fifteen years earlier.

Suddenly, Nakahara Yukito felt a chill in his sleep. His frail body, which made him extremely sensitive to temperature changes, caused him to snap open his eyes. He then saw a man in a black trench coat and a strange mask standing by his bed, looking at him.

"You're awake, Nakahara Yukito."

Lin Shangren said in a calm tone,

"To be honest, before I came here, I was planning to cut you into several pieces and mail them to your family. But now I find you in this state worse than death. So, how about that bacterial bomb? It feels good, right? Oh, it looks like it's mixed with a little chlorine. Haha, you guys are really worse than beasts."

Nakahara Yukito had long lost the ability to resist or even call for help. He just looked at Lin Shangren with horror in his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, I've changed my mind." Lin Shangren smiled. "I'm not going to kill you anymore. I'll let you live, and of course, the same goes for your fellow patients downstairs. It's just that your lives will be a little worse than they are now."

Very, very bad.”

Lin Shangren pressed his finger against Nakahara Yukito's forehead.

"Do you know anything about electrocution? Oh, of course you do.

Under the stimulation of the high-voltage current, your tendons and veins contract violently, your skin feels like it's burning, and your body feels like it's being ravaged by immense pressure. The pain in your flesh finally alarms your bones, causing your heart to contract violently. After a few seconds, your heart feels like it's being squeezed tightly, like a cracking orange. It feels like millions of ants are crawling and biting all over your body, and like tiny needles are piercing every part of your body. Finally, your brain will be roasted by the current, giving off a foul smell like burnt pork.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, that sounds painful. Fortunately, I can ensure that you can enjoy the electric shock and still survive. "

Lin Shangren pulled up a kind smile.

"Ready, Yukito Nakahara, are you ready to experience the subjective stimulation of electric shock lasting a hundred thousand years? Don't worry, it won't last long in objective time."

Yukito Nakahara didn't know what the strange young man in front of him was going to do, but he instinctively felt a fear deep in his bones.

"Gah...Gah...Mi...Misa...Gah...I..."

Spouting incoherent words, Nakahara Yukito reached for the bedside table.

"Looks like you're ready."

The Eagle Finger was activated, and the next moment, Nakahara Yukito's facial features twisted together due to severe pain, and then loosened again - he was not dead, but the Eagle Finger severed the connection between his will and body.

Lin Shangren withdrew his finger and looked at Nakahara Yukito's bedside table. There sat a fruit plate and a photo frame. The fruit in the plate was still fresh, but the photo in the frame was already worn and worn. It was a photo of Nakahara Yukito and a young woman. Nakahara Yukito was wearing a kimono, while the woman was in a white wedding dress. Clearly, it was a wedding photo.

"Nakahara Yukito, Nakahara Misa, 1936. He seems to have gone to Manchukuo that same year... Hmm? This woman?"

Lin Shangren looked carefully at the woman in the photo. She had long hair like a waterfall, fair skin, a tall and slender body, and a beautiful face.

"Dongzi?"

The woman in the photo bore a 90% resemblance to Fuyuko. No, it was more than 90% similar. Comparing the woman in the photo to Kuchiki Fuyuko gave Hayashi Shangren the same feeling as comparing Rin to Sleeping Beauty Rin. The woman in the photo was just a bit more mature than Fuyuko, but otherwise they were identical.

"How could this be? Could it be that Fuyuko is the child of these two? No... the time doesn't match. And if Fuyuko is really the child of a big family like the Nakahara family, how could she be the adopted daughter of the Kuchiki family?"

Chapter 99: You can eat, bathe and eat at the same time

"I didn't expect this little girl to have so many secrets. It seems I have to investigate Kuchiki Fuyuko's background myself."

Lin Shangren stared at the moonlight outside the window and made a decision.

His actions weren't over yet. After dealing with Nakahara Yukito, Lin Shangren disappeared into the shadows once again. Then, a melodious whistle could be heard from several other intensive care units in the Kuchiki Pathology Institute's sanatorium.

"Electric shock, slow slicing, beheading, wearing a sackcloth, sandalwood punishment... I can't help but sigh that humans are truly gifted at hurting and torturing their own kind.

However, these tortures are still quite useful in dealing with these bastards who are no longer human beings."

Thinking about it, Lin Shangren expanded his task panel.

[Goal 1: "Evil deeds should be punished" (Completed: 68)]

"It should be 75," Lin Shangren corrected. "Although the seven here didn't die immediately, when the effects of Eagle Finger wore off, the pain accumulated in their consciousness was enough to destroy their nervous systems. The nightmare ended, and then they died."

[So, my Lord, have you prepared the stage rewards? ?ω?]

"We're just getting started. I haven't even finished off that inbred bastard and his relatives yet. Monarchy is still too backward in this era, even if it's constitutional," Lin Shangren replied. "Besides, the more you kill, the better the reward. I've only been in this world for a week, there's no rush."

"I've only solved one case, and there are still three that haven't been triggered. As for the demons and cultists, I've only killed one demon and fewer than forty cultists. It seems I've been too lazy..."

So, you're planning on working overtime tonight to clear out some more cult dens in Tokyo? ?( 'ω' )?

"Of course...home."

Lin Shangren touched his empty stomach.

"I'm starving, and Ximei is waiting for me at home."

……

Two and a half hours later, Lin Shangren's safe house.

The outer living room was empty, but Lin Shangren's black coat and shirt were thrown on the sofa, and the umbrella-style "Three Thousand Kills of You" was tilted on the coffee table. A white cotton bra was hanging next to the water cup on the coffee table, but the owner of the bra could not be seen. Lin Shangren's pants were thrown messily next to the sofa, and the sofa covers and cushions were in disarray, revealing the fierceness of the battle.

There was no sign of the two people in the bedroom, only the sound of "splashing" water, Takigawa Yumi's moans and the rhythmic slapping sounds of their skin hitting each other could be heard more clearly. The large double bed was already a mess, with two large water stains clearly visible on the snow-white sheets. A pair of small cotton socks lay crookedly next to the pillow. Takigawa Yumi's wrinkled school uniform top fell to the ground, and her pleated skirt was thrown at the bathroom door.

"Brother...Brother Shangren...I, I want to..."

The shower next to the bathtub was on, and tiny threads of water floated from the shower head, falling on Takigawa Yumi's smooth and curved back. Her round buttocks were pushed back hard, her hands were on the edge of the bathtub, and her curly medium-length hair was wet and stuck to her snow-white neck.

Due to the height difference, Takigawa Yumi could only stand on tiptoe with her legs slightly apart. Lin Shangren supported her slender waist and hugged her gently from behind.

Every time Lin Shangren went deeper, Ximei's legs couldn't help but tremble, and the flesh on her buttocks also trembled into waves of flesh, accompanied by waves of endless water splashing sounds.

"Huh...oh...mmmm!"

The sound of water mixed with the moans, and the happiness was about to reach the edge of bursting. At this time, Lin Shangren picked up Takigawa Yumi. Yumi subconsciously held the sink with both hands. The mirror in front of her eyes, which was covered with mist, still reflected her rosy face full of spring, and Lin Shangren who held her up.

His movements became faster and faster, and the constant collisions made Ximei tremble all over. Both toes were raised, and both legs were straight and upright, and the muscles in the calves were tense. Lin Shangren also clearly felt the pressure from Ximei's constant twitching on him, and he could no longer endure it.

"Just stay...stay inside...I...ow!"

Ximei suddenly raised her body, and the clear water flow washed away the ambiguous mist on the mirror.

……

A quarter of an hour later, in Lin Shangren's bedroom.

He and Takigawa Yumi, who had just taken a shower, were lying naked. Yumi had her head resting on Lin Shangren's arm, and her whole body felt soft, tired, yet comfortable.

"I said you can eat, take a shower and eat at the same time." Lin Shangren whispered. However, Takigawa Yumi had already fallen asleep.

"Huh, he fell asleep."

Lin Shangren gently stroked Ximei's hair, used Ying Numa to gently pull his arm out, and covered her with the quilt again.

"I was planning to discuss visiting her mother with her, but it seems we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning. Tomorrow... the art club is going to visit Mamiya Shinzo's exhibition the day after tomorrow.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is in Taito Ward, and the prison where Yumi's mother is imprisoned is east of Bunkyo Ward, so it's not far away. After visiting her mother with Yumi, let's go to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum first."

Lin Shangren took out the photo that Aoki Fuyushi gave him from the shadows.

"Photographer, painter, the location in the photo is pretty close to the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. Maybe we can find a clue. How about trying Lucky Pervert? Hmm..."

Thinking, Lin Shangren closed his eyes.

……

The next day, the morning sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto the bed. Takigawa Yumi woke up from her sleep, naked. Lin Shangren, who was also naked, was hugging her. She was lying on her side and hugging Lin Shangren tightly, with one leg on him, and her knee just touching the flagpole that Lin Shangren had raised in the morning.

Takigawa Yumi quietly looked at Lin Shangren's profile, a feeling hard to describe rising in her heart. They slept together on the first night they met, moved in together the next day, and now it was only the fourth day. She and Lin Shangren didn't communicate much, and the most they did was intercourse.

Is this too hasty for a relationship?

Takigawa Yumi didn't know. She just felt safe when she was with Lin Shangren.

"This... isn't so bad, right? Compared to my previous life."

Thinking this, Takigawa Yumi gently pecked Lin Shangren's cheek.

"Good morning, Shangren-nii."

……

Because he helped Yuzumi Kazuzo solve two major cases, and Lin Shangren's identity as a forensic doctor was also endorsed by the police, he easily brought Takigawa Yumi into the Bunkyo District Prison and met Yumi's mother Takigawa Chiyo without any appointment.

However, Yumi didn't seem to have a good relationship with her mother. Not only was she somewhat reluctant to meet her, she didn't even bring any gifts or supplies such as clothes or food to Takigawa Chiyo.

"I... I just don't know how to face her." Takigawa Yumi said softly, "Brother Shangren, I'm very selfish. No matter what, it was my mother who raised me to this age, even though she rarely cared about me, even though she was always weird. But... but... I just... just..."

Tears filled Ximei's eyes, and she spoke intermittently: "Actually... when Mom was arrested, I felt relieved. Because... Mom became so strange, she was no longer like herself after Dad died... I really wanted to escape from her, I was so selfish, but..."
