An infinite journey starting from paradise

"?"

The four people following Lin Shangren were completely bewildered. What was wrong with this guy? What was he planning to do?

The leader said, "Has he discovered us? Should we follow him?"

"No... The Sister's orders are to first confirm the guy's whereabouts, and preferably find his residence. Only after confirming that there is nothing wrong with him can we take action."

"What are you doing?"

"Just kill the guy who's in the way. Huh?"

The man turned around suddenly and found that his three companions had fallen to the ground, and behind him was Lin Shangren, whom they had just been following.

"When did you..."

Lin Shangren didn't bother to talk nonsense, and slapped the man in the face with his Eagle Finger enchanted Dabidou, knocking him unconscious. In the process, he tore the man's black cloak covering his head to the ground.

"You're dressed so weirdly, and you're trying to stalk people? Oh my god, you're a foreigner?!"

After seeing the stalker's face clearly, Lin Shangren was a little surprised. The other party turned out to be a big foreign horse with blond hair and closed eyes.

"Identify it."

[Name: Katsuragi Sadako]

[Race: Human female]

[Identity: Sister of the Dear Sisters]

【Status: Fainted】

[Note: A child of Italian and Japanese descent, a war orphan raised by nuns. Although she appears to be a nun, she is actually a well-trained assassin.]

"Oh? Nun?"

Lin Shangren looked at the fainted people thoughtfully. They all had the same identity, they were all nuns from the Dear Sisters.

"Dear Sisters, it seems these guys are the subordinates of the guy codenamed Nun that Mamiya Shiner instructed. Dear Sisters... What a familiar name.

Yes, isn't this the orphanage where Dongzi was fostered as a child? Hiss... connected again, is it a coincidence? No...

No matter what, we have to investigate this convent. And...what should we do with these guys?"

Looking at the four nuns lying on the ground, Lin Shangren was in a dilemma. Should he send the remaining members of the navy and army on their way and interrogate them about the Dark Bible, or should he deal with these four guys who had come to him first?

After thinking for a while, Lin Shangren decided to get the four nuns who came to his door into the car first.

Chapter 113 I’m Super, Eagle!

The female assassin, the nun, was defeated and fainted, and was about to trigger some incredible defeat CG.

At this time, a sudden change occurred.

Just when Lin Shangren was about to pack up and take the four nuns on the ground away, their bodies began to shrink rapidly, as if all the nutrients in their bodies had been sucked dry by some unknown existence. In the blink of an eye, the four nuns turned into four mummies.

"The same killer as the night we first arrived."

Lin Shangren squatted down and checked the condition of the body.

"Pity."

[Eh? You don't want to eat it while it's hot, do you?! ⊙▽⊙]

"What the hell..."

Lin Shangren was too lazy to argue with Xiao Ai. He carefully checked the personal belongings of the four killers: a Nambu 14 pistol, some bullets, a few banknotes, and nothing else that could confirm their identities.

"It looks quite professional, but the gun choice is too amateurish, isn't it? Using a bastard shell as an assassination tool, even if it doesn't jam, it probably won't kill anyone. The later police Sakura revolver is better than it. However, the Ruger P08, the prototype it imitates, is a good gun."

While thinking, Lin Shangren grabbed the corpse's feet and scraped off some soil stuck to the soles of the shoes.

"There's no sign of them, so it seems we can't track down their base. However, we can definitely poke their lair."

Dear Sisters.

According to the information that Hayashi Shangren obtained from Mamiya Shinji through torture, the Sisters of Dear Love is a monastery located in Okayama Prefecture. It is also an orphanage that adopts abandoned babies free of charge. During the war, it adopted many war orphans.

The founder of the Sisters of Dear Love was an Italian missionary named Christopher Borg Stella, and the current administrator is his Japanese wife, Katsuragi Motoko. Yes, these two are the parents of Alice Stella, the guide at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum.

Lin Shangren had never expected that a random art museum guide he met could be connected to this series of events.

He had originally planned to visit the Sisters of Dearness with Fuyuko Kuchiki. After all, before being adopted by the Kuchiki family, Fuyuko had been fostered there by Misa Nakahara. And the four assassins who came to assassinate him this time were nuns from this convent.

"I have to find time to go to Okayama Prefecture."

Having made his plans, Lin Shangren turned and left. As for the four mummies, they would be discovered by passersby soon, and then the legend of vampires would spread around the area. Of course, this was not important.

"It's important to do business."

Lin Shangren took out a list from his pocket.

"Let's start with this one; it's relatively close. Aoki Koichi, formerly the Major General and Commander of a Japanese Marine Armored Brigade, was stationed in Shanghai before being transferred to the Pacific Theater. He was wounded in the Battle of Midway and later served on the front lines, rising to the rank of Admiral. He holds a high reputation within the naval faction and was entrusted with important tasks near the end of the war. He might know something."

It's him, let's deal with him first, if everything goes well we should be able to go home early for dinner."

……

"I am back."

Mizuhara Toruko said this listlessly.

She knew that no one would say "Welcome back" to her, and there would be no hot dinner waiting for her when she returned home. The woman named Mizuhara Mio would never do these things.

However, Toru Mizuhara still said this sentence out of habit, as if after saying "I'm back", this old and dilapidated house would be worthy of the name "home".

"Aren't you back yet?"

Mizuhara Touko was not surprised by this; her mother was always like this, disappearing for unknown reasons and then suddenly returning for unknown reasons.

"She's clearly just a down-and-out art supply dealer, running around everywhere but making very little money. I don't know what she's busy with."

As for whether Mizuhara Mio would encounter any accident, Mizuhara Toruko didn't care at all, just like Mizuhara Mio never cared about her daughter.

"It doesn't matter if she dies. If she dies, I'll sell this shabby house, and then... then..."

Mizuhara Toruko sighed and slumped down on the sofa.

"If something like this happened to Dongzi... No, Dongzi wouldn't. Her family runs a big hospital, and a rich girl like her would definitely be happier than me even if her family was ruined.

Dongzi... beautiful, kind, and approachable... Dongzi is perfect, and should be perfect. But, how could she be so close to a man? That would make her imperfect...

No, Dongzi is absolutely perfect, she must have her reasons for doing this. Dongzi... Why am I Touzi and not Dongzi?

I should be Dongzi’s.”

Thinking this way, Mizuhara Touko unconsciously reached under her skirt and began to masturbate. The fantasy she used as a side dish was no longer about her and Fuyuko having sex, but Fuyuko herself masturbating. And she was Fuyuko.

……

Lin Shangren drove the car to a wealthy villa area in Shanglianque, Mitaka City, where his target lived.

The sun hadn't completely set yet.

Lin Shangren sneaked into the shadows and teleported to explore the villa area. During this process, he saw an acquaintance, Tsukishima Orihime, whose family also lived here.

"The Tsukishima family is considered a wealthy family, along with the Nakahara and Ayazaki families. My original plan was to promote the development of international communism in this world after completing the system's mission. It seems I need to select some good lanterns for them in advance."

Lin Shangren once again slipped into the shadows, and then teleported to the vicinity of Aoki Hirokazu's residence.

It was strange that this unemployed admiral had no guards in his residence. According to Shadow Touch's investigation, there were only two servants and a cook on the first floor of the house, and only Aoki Hirokazu was alone in his study on the second floor.

"Hmm? Even if you were defeated in the factional struggle, you wouldn't be so destitute, right?"

With doubts, Lin Shangren teleported directly into the house. After knocking out the three people on the first floor, he teleported into the study on the second floor.

At this moment, Aoki Hirokazu was lost in thought at a chess game on the board. Although this former Japanese naval admiral was nearly sixty years old, he still looked very energetic.

His attention was completely focused on the chessboard. When Lin Shangren's shadow was cast on the chessboard, he looked up in confusion.

Because Lin Shangren stood with his back to the window, the afterglow of the setting sun enveloped his body, making it difficult for Aoki Hirokazu to see clearly. However, a look of surprise still appeared on his face. Not fear, but... surprise.

"Lord Yan?"

Lin Shangren: “???”

He suspected that he had heard it wrong. The old Deng in front of him seemed to be calling him "Yan Jun" in Chinese?

"My outfit was indeed inspired by Yan Shuangying, but...huh?!"

After seeing Aoki Hirokazu's appearance clearly, Lin Shangren also showed a look of surprise.

"No...there really is Yan Shuangying in this world??!"

The Hirokazu Aoki in front of him was the Hirokazu Aoki in "The Eagle", a Japanese naval general, a friend of Yan Shuangying, and an "international friend" who had provided Yan Shuangying with great assists at critical moments many times.

For those who haven't read Yan Shuangying's series, here's a brief introduction to the plot of "The Falcon Assassination Squad." Simply put, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yan Shuangying and other patriots formed an organization called the Falcon Assassination Squad in Shanghai. They fought against the Japanese puppet regime, eliminating Japanese officers and traitors, and thwarting the Japanese army's plot to plunder the treasures left behind by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Rather than an anti-Japanese drama, I would rather call it an anti-Japanese cool drama. After all, the plot design and fighting scenes of the Yan Shuangying series can kill all the current crappy ancient idol dramas.

"No, who are you?"

Only then did Hirokazu Aoki see Lin Shangren's appearance clearly. The young man in front of him was not his best friend.

"The one who killed you." Lin Shangren said, "However, since you are Aoki, I changed my mind."

"Are you the one who killed Suzuki and Okawa?"

"Yes."

"Just you?"

Lin Shangren nodded.

"You killed them for revenge?"

"I am the retribution they deserve." Lin Shangren said, "Don't they deserve to die?"

"It's damned right. Those idiots in the army deserve to die, and so does an old man like me."

"You won't necessarily die today."

"Oh?"

"Answer me a few questions. If your answers are useful to me, I might let you go."

As he spoke, Lin Shangren raised his hand and released the heart shadow, wrapping Aoki Hirokazu's body with the shadow, and then Lin Shangren entered his spiritual world.

Chapter 114: Golden Lily Project, Human Enhancement

In 1937, the brutal Japanese invaders committed a brutal massacre in Nanjing. While the Japanese army was killing people, it was also secretly implementing a plan called "Golden Lily" to plunder the wealth of the occupied areas.

As early as the beginning of the war of aggression, that inbred bastard had secretly planned the "Golden Lily" plan with his advisors, the main content of which was to ensure that the wealth plundered from the victim countries could enter the treasury of the Japanese royal family.

To this end, Japan established an organization supervised and led by members of the imperial family, whose members included experts in finance, accounting, shipping, and various aspects of cultural relic appraisal. Through the military and underworld ronin, they plundered wealth, including but not limited to legal tender banknotes, precious metals such as gold and silver, various cultural relics, and funerary objects stolen from tombs.

It's worth noting that while the Japanese invaders didn't loot large tombs like the Ming Tombs, they were relentless in their pursuit of tombs that hadn't been excavated, were little known to the public, and wouldn't provoke further public outrage. According to the "History of Tomb Robbery in the Republic of China," the Japanese invaders looted more ancient tombs and resold more cultural relics than all the Western powers combined.

In addition to the burial objects of the ancients, they also set their sights on those legendary treasures, such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom treasure left by Hong Xiuquan, the second brother of Jesus.

At the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan felt the kingdom was about to collapse. To make a comeback, he ordered his son Hong Wanli to lead the Heavenly Kingdom soldiers, carrying a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, to leave Tianjing, blending in with the Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Li Xiucheng, the Loyal King. When they reached Longhu Mountain, on the border between Jiangsu and Anhui, Hong Wanli, along with 500 guards, left the army midway, quietly infiltrated Longhu Mountain, and hid the treasure. He then lived with his guards in the vicinity to protect the treasure.

More than a decade later, the warlord Sun Dianying, the master of the Xiangling School, the excavator of the Dongling Tomb, the master of the Shiquan Old Dog's grave, and the dumper of Ci Laogui's corpse, learned of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's treasure. He led his troops in a raid on Qinglongji, the treasure's hiding place, but ultimately failed to recover the treasure. Since then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's treasure has disappeared.

In 1938, Takeo Imai, a special envoy of the Golden Lily Project, arrived in Shanghai to explore for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's treasures. The name of that priceless treasure once again came to the world's attention. Then, the story of "The Lone Eagle" begins.

In Aoki Hirokazu's spiritual world, the energetic Aoki Hirokazu was telling Lin Shangren about this old story. After entering the conscious world, he did not show much surprise, nor did he beg for mercy. Instead, he told Lin Shangren about the Golden Lily Project and the treasure of heaven.

Since the flow of time in the world of consciousness is just like the "Zeno's Paradox", it basically does not flow. Therefore, Hayashi Shangren did not interrupt Aoki Hirokazu's narration.

Hirokazu Aoki continued, "The treasure amassed by the Golden Lily Project wasn't transported to mainland Japan. Instead, it was sent to the Southeast Asian battlefield where General Yamashita Tomoyuki was stationed. It was hidden somewhere in the Philippines along with the treasures he had looted throughout Southeast Asia. I don't know the exact location, but from what I know about him, he believed in 'the most dangerous place is the safest.' He likely hid his treasure in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, his base in Southeast Asia, and the place where he was hanged by the Allies."

"Why are you telling me all this?" Aoki Hirokazu sighed. "Young man, you're Chinese, right? The wealth plundered by the Golden Lily Project originally belonged to you. Rather than letting the US military take it away, it's better to return it to its original owner. Of course, the chances of returning it to its original owner are somewhat slim, but of course, now is the time."

"It won't take long." Lin Shangren said, "If I'm willing to let go and kill, I can change the situation quickly."

Aoki Hirokazu disagreed with Hayashi's words: "We can't win a war by assassination alone. And such wanton assassinations as you did before are likely to cause a chain reaction. The current situation is unstable.

Your actions of stealing the US military base in Japan and bombing the Sugamo Prison have already made the US military and government very nervous. I would like to advise you not to destroy the naturally formed aura, otherwise you will receive punishment from nature.

"You're right." Lin Shangren interrupted Aoki Hongyi, "It's indeed difficult to win a war relying solely on assassinations, but what about weapons of mass destruction? For example, the Hara."

"You mean a nuclear bomb? Impossible... How could China possibly master the technology to manufacture an atomic bomb now?"

Lin Shangren smiled and shook his head. "Is it difficult? People's constitutions are different. I can even create an atomic bomb with my bare hands when I'm extremely angry. I can get some uranium ore and purify it to over 90%. I only need 52 kilograms, which is the critical mass of uranium-235. You don't need to do anything else, it will react on its own. When it does, it will be a huge mushroom smoke, a conventional nuclear sunset."

"what?"

Hirokazu Aoki couldn't understand.
