An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Here again...what's going on?"

"Well!!!"

Then, Mamiya Shinji saw the woman whom he had killed with his own hands long ago, his nightmare in this life, his biological mother.

"woo woo woo woo!"

Mamiya Shin'er's eyes were bloodshot and he wanted to break free from the restraints on his bodies, but he was only twelve years old at the time and could not break free from the ropes on his hands.

Seeing that the outrageous drama of "loving mother arouses sexual desire and filial son returns to his hometown" was about to be staged, Lin Shangren, who was watching all this, suddenly appeared in this room out of thin air.

"Since I can control other people's psychological shadows, then in this memory illusion, I should be omnipotent. As expected, I can just create a body for myself." Lin Shangren said proudly.

Looking at Lin Shangren who suddenly appeared, Mamiya Xiner felt inexplicably relieved.

"I would rather be tortured by this lunatic than be violated by that woman like a dead dog."

Lin Shangren said, "Dissipate."

Then, Miyuki Mamiya's body and the rag stuffed in Mamiya Shin'er's mouth disappeared at the same time.

"Change."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding environment changed drastically. The originally bourgeois living room turned into a deep cave?!

"Narration." Lin Shangren said again.

A strong male voice suddenly rang out: "In the Amazon rainforest, a place that no detector can find. This is where Mamiya Shin'er is."

Mamiya Shinji: “???”

"This ability is really convenient," Lin Shangren said. "Even though it's just in memory, it feels great to have my wishes come true and do whatever I want. It's like having a controllable lucid dream."

"What are you going to do?!" Mamiya Shin'er asked hysterically, "Where is this place?!"

"Didn't the narrator just say that?" Lin Shangren said with a smile, "Let's have a Mad Bull Boss."

Following Lin Shangren's command, a large man in a green coat and slicked-back hair appeared out of nowhere. He sat upright on a fur-skin sofa and glared sharply at Mamiya Xin'er, who was kneeling on the ground.

"hang up."

Several iron hooks shot out from the top of the cave, hanging Mamiya Shiner in mid-air like a roast goose.

"Let me go, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Nothing." Lin Shangren smiled kindly, "It's just like recreating a famous scene.

music! Then, four.

A powerful blast of music began, a song that hadn't even been released in 1956. Living in an era before rock 'n' roll, Mamiya Shinji found the overly intense music jarring. Then, he saw four large men wearing scant clothing! Their lewd eyes, lascivious smiles, and beggarly gestures made it clear they were the epitome of gay men.

"Okay, now it's time for you guys to be happy together. I won't disturb you for now. See you later~"

Lin Shangren waved to Mamiya Xiner.

"No...no...you...you can't!!!"

"Hey, young man, come and enjoy our happy time~" Ya Si licked his lips and took out the Wushuang giant cucumber and the terrifying giant durian...

Only a moment of time passed in the real world, and Lin Shangren felt a little dazed when his consciousness returned to his body.

Looking at Mamiya Shin'er, who collapsed on the ground, foaming at the mouth and crying, Lin Shangren couldn't help but sigh: "This ability is much stronger than Uchiha Weasel's Tsukuyomi Space."

Invade the other person's consciousness, enter their most difficult memories, and manipulate everything in their memory at will. Used for good, Lin Shangren can use it to help others overcome their own psychological shadows, but used for evil, tsk tsk tsk, the ultimate insult is just an appetizer.

"Also, since we're controlling and changing someone's psychological trauma, then could we also change their memory of that trauma, or implant new memories in them... well, it's worth a try."

Lin Shangren took out a knife, cut his palm, and splashed the blood on Mamiya Shiner's face.

"Wake up, a new round of experiments is about to begin~"

Chapter 106 Hatsune Miku

How do we define psychological trauma? Fear? Horror? Sadness? Embarrassment? Or any memory that leaves an unforgettable impression?

Lin Shangren believed that the answer was the last one. After all, through the ability of the heart shadow, he not only entered the most unbearable memory of Mamiya Shiner's biological mother, but also entered many memories that were either horrific or embarrassing.

For example, he witnessed the scene when Mamiya Shinsho killed Nakahara Misa, the first time he killed someone, the first time he dismembered a body, and the first time he witnessed the murder of a young man.

By playing with the psychological shadow of Mamiya Shin'er, Lin Shangren completely destroyed his psychological defenses. Unable to bear all the harsh experiences, Mamiya Shin'er confessed the things he had deliberately hidden before: his identities as well as the identities of several leaders of the Holy Mother Church of the 11th Emperor, and their bases of communication.

"Kill me! Please kill me!"

Mamiya Shinji let out a desperate wail.

"You want to die? It's not up to you. Go to sleep and continue having nightmares."

Lin Shangren stepped on Mamiya Xiner's face with a look of disgust.

"What should we do next with Mamiya Shinji and his accomplices? Should we hand them over to the police? Or should we hand them over to Amemiya Suzu and Aoki Fuyushi? Leave their bodies to the brothel and the underworld, and the charges against them to the police. (The following text appears to be unrelated and likely comes from a different source.)"

"And this guy and Tsubomi..."

Lin Shangren looked at Sen Yeyue who was still unconscious.

"I'll deal with it when I get back."

After making his plan, Lin Shangren locked up Mamiya Xiner and Mori Yeyue again, hid them in the Shadow Swamp, and then walked out of the basement.

……

"Wake up."

Lin Shangren poked Zhuizi's cheek, who was lying on the sofa, with his eagle finger.

“Wow…it’s dawn…?”

Tsuiko muttered and slowly opened her eyes.

"It's getting dark." Lin Shangren said.

"Huh? Ah! Where is this? Why am I here? What did you do to me?"

After seeing the surroundings clearly, Zhuizi suddenly sat up and protected his chest with his hands.

"Yes, A, I can't afford it." Lin Shangren said.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

"Hypoglycemia."

"what?"

"You fainted from low blood sugar. I was afraid someone would pick you up, so I took you home first. It's getting dark now, but I don't plan to let you stay overnight or have dinner with you."

"Wait, where are Teacher Ge Cheng and the gentleman who fainted?" Zhuizi interrupted Lin Shangren.

"Who?"

"Those two people who fainted in the art museum."

"Are you confused after sleeping? What art museum? Or did you dream about something?" Lin Shangren asked.

Zhuizi was a little confused, but looking at Lin Shangren's expression, he didn't seem to be lying. This made her a little confused.

"What on earth am I..."

"You fainted on the side of the road, and I happened to see you, so I brought you back." Lin Shangren continued to deceive, "Now that you're awake, go home first. Otherwise, your parents will be worried."

"Huh? Eh?"

"Let's go. I'll take you there."

In this way, Zhuizi was half-pushed and half-dragged into the car.

……

After sending Tsuchiko to the nearest Kichijoji Station, Hayashi Naoto drove to the Moon World Cafe.

This morning, he and Yuzumi Jiasan had arranged to meet there over the phone. Yuzumi Jiasan would hand him the case files related to the six-year-old serial murder and dismemberment case, as well as the Kuchiki family's household registration information. Lin Shangren could use this opportunity to explain the "new developments" in the case to Yuzumi.

Lin Shangren parked the car opposite the Moon World Cafe and walked towards the gate of Moon World.

"ah!"

When Lin Shangren opened the door, he was greeted by a sudden and somewhat cute scream. It turned out to be a girl dressed as a waitress who had just fallen to the ground not far away.

"Well...well, well...welcome."

The girl remained in a sitting position, bowing her head. Judging from the water stains on the floor from the overturned tray and glass, she must have accidentally fallen here.

"Are you ok?"

Lin Shangren felt that the girl in front of him looked familiar. After thinking carefully, he realized that the girl in front of him was the girl who temporarily entertained Ximei when he was in the Snow White Brothel that night.

[Name: Hatsune Amamiya]

[Race: Human female]

[Occupation: Snow White Brothel Handyman, Moon World Café Waiter]

[Status: embarrassed, panicked]

[Note: The girl grew up in a brothel. Although the person who raised her was not of honorable status, he was a truly kind person. And she also grew up to be a kind girl.]

Lin Shangren reached out and pulled up the fallen girl. The girl picked up the things scattered on the ground and asked, "Um... guest, what do you want?"

"Just a cup of coffee."

"What happened?"

Hearing the strange noise, Anzi Yeyue came out from the kitchen.

"Ah, it's Mr. Lin. Are you here to wait for the fish to settle down?"

"Ah."

Lin Shangren nodded and walked to the bar and sat down.

"Mr. Lin is still helping Yu Zhu and the others investigate the case?"

Ye Yue Xingzi poured a cup of coffee for Lin Shangren.

"I asked him to help me research some information," Lin Shangren said. "We've made some new discoveries in the case we were investigating."

"Sir, are you a detective?" The girl named Hatsune suddenly interrupted.

"Hatsune, isn't this very rude to the guests? Even though Mr. Lin is a regular customer." Xingzi said in a reproachful tone.

"I'm sorry." Hatsune bowed her head and apologized.

"It's okay," Lin Shangren said to the huddled Hatsune, "I'm really a detective? Are you interested in detectives?"

"Well... before, there was a detective who took good care of me. He taught me a lot of things, even how to write."

"Takagi Akigo?"

Lin Shangren thought of the detective whose portrait he had only seen.

"You also know Mr. Qiu Wu?" Hatsune asked in surprise.

"Not really... Come to think of it, Hatsune, you didn't recognize me. We've met before, a few days ago, at Snow White in Ueno..."

Having said that, Lin Shangren suddenly shut his mouth.

"Mr. Lin!"

Hazuki Anzi also interrupted him.

"Fuck, I'm such a naive person." Lin Shangren felt a little regretful.

"Ah, sorry."

"Well... I... Hatsune Amamiya was indeed a prostitute."

She raised her head and looked directly into Lin Shangren's eyes with a firm look.

"...But, but, this kid is just doing chores there."

Anzi Hazuki put her arm around Hatsune Amamiya's shoulders to help her out. Although Hatsune had a serious and determined look in her eyes, she also had an expression that seemed to be about to cry.

Lin Shangren gently placed his hand on her head: "You were raised by a group of amazing people."

"Eh?"

"I can tell from your eyes that no matter what the work is like, you are working hard and living proudly, right? Because that's what you learned from the people around you." Lin Shangren said softly.

Having to sell one's body to survive is not shameful, and even if one can barely make a living, being able to raise and educate a good child like Hatsune can even be called great. This reminds Hayashi Naoto of Mio in "Dororo".
