An infinite journey starting from paradise

"It's all your fault... You made me like this, made me into your shape, filling my entire being, making me think of you all the time, making me completely inseparable from you. You absolutely cannot abandon me! Otherwise, I will die."

"Don't say stupid things."

Lin Shangren grabbed Dongzi's buttocks and lifted her up. In the glow of the sunrise, the two of them entangled together until the sun rose from between their legs to Dongzi's head...

……

"Student Xiao Ai."

Lin Shangren called out to Ashrose in his heart. Having consumed a large amount of nutrition early in the morning, Lin Shangren's thoughts were now exceptionally clear. After all, Sage Time was a buff that was beneficial for thinking.

Lin Shangren has already made some inferences about the strange dreams he had in the past two days and the various clues he has now.

I'm here~(? ???ω??? ?)

[Eh~ You just finished making out with a little girl and now you're looking for me, a middle-aged system mother. Isn't that a bit inappropriate? If Kuchiki Fuyuko finds out, she'll probably get jealous, right? ?(?﹃??)]

"Stop talking nonsense! Do you believe I can throw you into the Pacific Ocean and let everyone in the world drink Longjing tea?"

"You're the one who can't bear to leave~ After all, I exist only for you, I'll always belong to you, I'll always think about you, and I'll never betray you, the universe's most adorable Ash-rose~ (???`?)"

"Stop being cute."

【Hmph~】

"Let's get down to business. Isn't this world going to have some time-travel stunt? For example, I destroyed the Warp in the future, but Dongzi died with it because of some connection to the Warp. Then, in a rage, I reversed time, but lost my memory. I can only recall fragments of future memories in my dreams."

[Heh~ The little guy is quite good at making up BE stories for Cao Pi. He even reversed time in a rage. Now, you're only angry for a moment. (?_?)]

"Okay, so what was that dream of mine about?"

My foolish master, remember? Time doesn't exist, but causality might exist. And in the traditional cosmology of mechanics...

"You can know the cause and trace the effect, or you can only trace the cause from the effect." Lin Shangren continued, "And the one who knows all the cause and effect relationships in the universe is Laplace's demon."

Lin Shangren opened his hands, and the tetrahedron dice of four beasts emerged from his palms.

"I accidentally triggered the power of the Four Beasts Dice in my dream? Impossible. If that were the case, I wouldn't have enough stock to fill up Dongzi.

So, something triggered the Four Beasts Dice in my consciousness while I was sleeping."

Lin Shangren clenched his fists and retracted the Four Beasts' Dice back into his consciousness. At this moment, he heard Dongzi scream:

"Ah, it's over!"

"what happened?"

Lin Shangren turned around.

Dongzi had already put on her clothes and made her bed. She pointed at the sheets and said, "It's dirty...ah, if Aunt Suzi sees...well."

Dongzi's face turned red: "I am also possessed by the devil, ah, it's all your fault, you turned me into such a lewd girl."

"Is it dirty? I remember staying in your body well?"

"You still said that!"

"It's okay, let me take a look."

Lin Shangren walked closer and found that they were several small pieces of coagulated blood.

"Is it Luo Hong?"

"Hey...that's not right. I didn't come...so, how could this happen?" Dongzi was a little confused.

"!"

She suddenly sat up straight. "It happened in the hotel too. It happened when we were in the park... Could this be some kind of illness?"

"It's okay." Lin Shangren comforted Dongzi,

After all, with the existence of the "Little Bird Doctor," ruptures in the small fleshy ring known as the membrane are considered "injury" and "illness," and are therefore repaired after each intercourse with Lin Shangren. However, the proper relaxation of the Linyin Xiaodao is not considered an illness, so girls who have intercourse with Lin Shangren don't have to endure the initial pain every time. (Fun fact: The initial pain is mainly due to psychological factors and the expansion of the birth canal.)

"Don't worry, it's not your problem, it's mine."

"Huh?! Is it because... I asked for too much? I'm sorry... Shangren, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"What are you thinking about? Forget it, I'll tell you."

Lin Shangren took out a knife and cut his palm, vividly demonstrating the ability of the "Bird Healing" to Lin Shangren, and also told her his identity as an alien time traveler.

"So, I can really elope with Dongzi to another world."

"Living with your harem?" Dongzi asked jealously. "Or, to them, I'm the latecomer... Damn it, I thought I'd found someone worthy of trust."

As he said this, Dongzi made a gesture to leave.

"Fuyuko!"

Lin Shangren grabbed Dongzi's hand, but Dongzi threw himself directly into Lin Shangren's arms.

"I was kidding!" Dongzi smiled. "There are other people in this world, right?"

"Ah this..."

"I noticed it a long time ago. The hair on my neck, the smell of girls' shampoo, and the smell of blood... I have a very good nose. Even if you wash it very clean, I can still smell it.

Idiot, I've already told you. I have nothing, I'm an unwanted child... and all I have is you."

Seeing the two getting closer, Ashrose outside the universe switched the observation node again.

[What a disgusting couple! They are my master and sister, and they are so unlucky. (?ò?ó?)]

Thinking this way, Ashrose reselected a node in the sea of ​​possibilities.

In 1956, a minor incident occurred in Tokyo. A Chinese-Japanese Communist Party member living in the United States returned to Tokyo and became a male teacher and part-time priest at a Catholic girls' school. That same year, several other minor incidents occurred in Japan. Former Japanese naval and land forces were killed in succession, US military bases in Japan were robbed, and then the Sugamo Prison, which held war criminals, was blown up.

These things seem to be unrelated, but in fact the stories behind them are not ordinary, but rather magnificent.

Hello everyone, I'm Chief Little Mouse, and today I'd like to introduce you to a truly hardcore ruthless individual. Next, please allow me to introduce you to a top-tier charlatan, a master of the four major tiankengs of biochemistry, environmental science, and materials science; a history teacher who single-handedly assassinated a concentration camp war criminal; a devout priest who destroyed the Christian faith; a destroyer of cults; a practitioner of the Great Western King's governance style; and a communist fighter who constantly tests others..."

[This episode is cached first~]

Ashrose copied this fragment of time and saved it.

【Let’s take a look at the new fun I found first～】

While thinking, Ashrose took out two more cosmic bubbles from her chest, which completely deflated her already poor wealth.

[This ~ The bizarre adventure of a dwarf ninja and a little boy girl? It's boring. (?▽｀)ノ?]

[This one~ Hey, this is fun. He should like it very much, right? ]

Ashrose forced her hand into this cosmic bubble.

【Pause here! 】

Chapter 124 I Bought a Lot of Stockings

The sky was a brilliant, clear blue, its bottomless depths etched in the air. Only intermittent wisps of cloud smeared a few faint wisps of white across the dome, like a painter's test strokes of paint. Suddenly, a wind picked up, scattering the clouds and leaving only the blue sky.

Outside the Dear Sisters, the white little clothes and skirts fluttered in the wind like birds trying to break free from their restraints. The nun in charge of washing clothes took some effort to fix the clothes in place.

There were indeed birds, and blue birds with decorative feathers on the edges of their wings flew by from time to time. Their flying figures against the blue sky were very pleasing to the eye.

"Is this the bird that Dongzi drew in the newspaper? Blue Robin." Lin Shangren asked.

"Seems to be."

Dongzi nodded and helped the nun hang the clothes on the long clothesline.

"It helped a lot."

A nun named Alina thanked him. She was Russian, her ancestors were minor nobles. During the Russian Red and White War, she fled to Japan and was taken in by Katsuragi Motoko. She then stayed in the Dear Sisters and became a nun, responsible for caring for the adopted children there. And... farm work.

A non-profit organization like the Sisters of Dearness would struggle to survive without other sources of income. Donations from nearby Christians are simply not enough to feed the children. So the nuns grow vegetables on the convent grounds.

They also take on some jobs similar to rituals: when a Christian dies, they will go to the funeral to pray; when a Buddhist dies, they will change into the robes of a bhikkhuni and perform rituals.

Yes, these nuns would even steal the monks' and nuns' work. It's not quite right to say they were stealing, since there weren't any temples nearby. Some of the deceased's family members knew they were religious nuns, but they didn't care. It was just a ceremony, and the presence of nuns who looked like them was enough.

As for the nuns' own beliefs, although Katsuragi Motoko was a devout nun, she was not a fanatic. Her sincere belief was not so much the Christian creed as the "golden words that encourage people to do good" -

Regardless of what religion it is, they will use so-called "benefits" and "blessings" to attract believers. An important criterion for distinguishing whether it is a cult is whether the way they promise to obtain "blessings" is legitimate and beneficial.

In other words, whether it encourages people to be good and whether they can actually do good.

Before meeting her husband, Katsuragi Motoko was actually a Buddhist, but she believed in Christ because the Christian doctrines her husband preached were more logical and self-consistent.

In Katsuragi Motoko's view, whether it is Christ or Buddha, as long as they can make people feel happy and at ease and can bring people psychological comfort, they are good gods.

Not to mention disguising herself as a nun to earn the children's living expenses, Katsuragi Motoko herself even mixed Buddhist views with Christian doctrines to comfort others and preach. This behavior would naturally be considered heresy in the Vatican.

But the Lord doesn’t care.

After all, for the sake of proselytizing, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang could be considered Jesus' eldest son. (In order to preach in a place in my country where the Prime Minister is worshipped, missionaries pretended that the Prime Minister was God's eldest son. Who would have thought that the Prime Minister, Jesus, and Hong Xiuquan could be considered brothers?)

Besides, after being crucified, Jesus was just as open to everything as Kobe was in the helicopter.

"You're welcome."

Dongzi nodded slightly in greeting, then walked briskly to Lin Shangren's side.

Sister Alina smoothed her skirt and said to Dongzi and Lin Shangren, "Ah, I'm going to the nearby village to buy some daily necessities. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, we're getting ready to leave. The bus will be here soon." Lin Shangren said.

"Are you leaving already? Aren't you staying a few more days?"

"No, I still have some things to take care of. I won't bother you anymore."

This morning, Lin Shangren had thoroughly inspected the entire convent and found nothing suspicious. The rooms of the four nuns who had intended to assassinate him were especially clean and tidy, with not a single personal item left behind.

The clues here were cut off, so Lin Shangren could only investigate Tianhuizhihui, Hinami Pharmaceutical, and the orphanage called Baibaiheyuan mentioned by Yuque.

"Aren't you going to stay for lunch before you leave?"

"no thank you."

……

Half an hour later, Lin Shangren and Dongzi boarded the bus back to Kojima City.

On the bus, Fuyuko snuggled up to Hayashi Naoto's shoulder and asked, "Where are we going next? Gifu Prefecture?"

"Originally, I was planning to send you back to Tokyo, because the place we were going next was going to be very dangerous. However, I changed my mind."

"Because I'm safest when I'm with you?"

"Ah."

Lin Shangren nodded.

"Hey." Dongzi poked Lin Shangren's cheek with his finger, "Why are you still looking so grumpy? Are you worried about something?"

"No, just thinking about something weird. We didn't do that last night, did we?"

"Don't keep saying such embarrassing things!"

Dongzi pinched Lin Shangren's face hard.

"So... it's very strange." Lin Shangren thought to himself.

Originally, he didn't take the small bloodstain on the bed seriously, but now he thinks that what he and Dongzi did on the bed was just biting. Although they did touch, Dongzi was lying on Lin Shangren at that time. Logically, there should not be any blood on that part of the bed.

"Am I overthinking it? I was awake almost the entire time last night, except for the time when I was dreaming. I can't hide something from my feelings, and even if I could, I can't hide it from Xiao Ai... No, when doing that kind of thing, Xiao Ai will avoid it on her own... Maybe it's the menstrual period left by the previous owner."

Lin Shangren shook his head, thinking that he was just being overly nervous.

"As for the power of the dream and Laplace's demon, perhaps I just subconsciously triggered it... After all, I still don't understand the power and function of the Four Beasts Dice."

On the other side, the nuns and children of the Dear Sisters also finished their lunch.

"Sister Maryse, please take us out to play later!"

As soon as they finished lunch, the active children gathered around Marys. Compared with the somewhat serious Alina, the children liked Marys who only came back occasionally, even if she stuttered when telling stories.

"Okay... okay... I might not be able to dance with you guys. My legs hurt a little today..."

Maris replied somewhat reluctantly, pulling on Alina's arm.

"what happened?"

"Alina, I... forgot to bring some cotton wool. Um, my stomach hurts a little too."

"Ah, you're so old, Maris, haven't you learned to count dates yet? These days are like that. Yesterday you took the children to the creek to play around, and you even walked barefoot in the water. How could it not hurt you to death?"

"Ugh…sorry."
