There had to be secrets behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the secrets within a derivative world often meant gaining vast amounts of World Source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And World Source, when the derivative world was settled, translated directly into attribute points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Su Xiao was deeply interested in the origin of those primitive ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now was not the time to think about that—he needed to repel the ghouls before him first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for annihilating all of them, he never entertained the thought; in this narrow corridor, ghouls would flee once their casualties reached a certain point—unless they were actively attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brothers, carve a path through blood! Once we reach the surface, we’re safe—there’s plenty of ‘food’ up there, no need to obey the ‘King’s’ orders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill all these investigators!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls snarled fiercely, charging forward with wild cries—closing in on Su Xiao: ten meters, five meters, three meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of brilliant blade light cut through—the front few ghouls dropped instantly, blood splattering the tunnel walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of investigators pulled out ranged weapons to cover Su Xiao; Hōji Kōsuke unleashed the most firepower, wielding a cannon as thick as an arm—his Quinque, named “Void Hole,” an S-class weapon forged from Uroboros tissue, capable of firing orange-yellow crystalline projectiles that exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brutal battle erupted—the ghouls sought to escape District 24, while the investigators fought to hold them back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>District 1, CCG Headquarters, a room in Japanese style.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sliding door made of wood and paper opened, revealing a serious-looking middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wore a white suit and had black hair long enough to cover his ears; his demeanor and posture clearly indicated he had long held high rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man was Kuzuryū Jiki, Director of the CCG, a man of immense power within the organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the room, Kuzuryū Jiki closed the sliding door tightly and knelt before an elderly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, the checkpoint deep in District 24 has been breached—those primitive types have emerged. I’ve already sent Ma Gui to handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated on the tatami at the far end of the room was an elderly man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was withered, clad in a classical black kimono, his hair and beard entirely white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man was Kuzuryū Tsunayoshi, Chief Councilor of the CCG, whose authority surpassed Kuzuryū Jiki’s; routine matters were handled by Jiki, but all major decisions required Tsunayoshi’s approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chief Councilor Kuzuryū Tsunayoshi opened his eyes—his gaze was dull yet radiated authority and cruelty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do the others in V say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Tsunayoshi spoke, Kuzuryū Jiki kept his head bowed, his posture deeply respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other elders suggest eliminating the primitive types—they’re merely failures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunayoshi’s hair and beard bristled; from his dull eyes flashed a chilling, soul-piercing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are these fools brainless? Or have the RC cells rotted their minds? The primitives lack reason, but they’re secretly guarding the ‘Source.’ Without the ‘Source,’ we’ll go extinct soon. Drive them back to the deepest underground—kill them if you must, but don’t slaughter them en masse.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunayoshi stared coldly at Jiki, as if Jiki were not his son, but merely a subordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about investigator casualties?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiki ventured cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as they’re not all wiped out, it’s fine. Humanity’s population is vast; with a little training and brainwashing, a new batch of investigators will always emerge.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few sentences, Tsunayoshi’s coldness and cruelty were laid bare—he didn’t care about the investigators’ lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Father. I wish you well. I take my leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzuryū Jiki lowered his eyelids, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunayoshi suddenly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has Hoshigaki Kōzen appeared recently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of Hoshigaki Kōzen, Tsunayoshi’s indifferent tone flickered with a trace of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Father. The Cleaner has surfaced—intent unclear. He seems to be aiding the Bronze Tree, yet some of his actions contradict that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his son’s reply, Tsunayoshi sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s grown old—defeated by a new Special Class. Hoshigaki Kōzen was once our Cleaner. He knew too many secrets. Since he dares show his face again, eliminate him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his father’s words, Kuzuryū Jiki’s face paled. He cried out urgently: “Father, the Cleaner once served V—he…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up. Leave. Carry out my order.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunayoshi’s face hardened as he stared coldly at his son—if Jiki dared speak another word, the consequences would be severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzuryū Jiki’s expression shifted repeatedly, then he bowed silently and withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room was now empty except for Tsunayoshi. The cold ruler picked up a stack of documents, as if pondering something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Special Class investigator, orphan of a former investigator… a useful pawn. Use him to deal with Hoshigaki Kōzen. Even if he fails, there’s no loss—he’s just human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunayoshi set down the documents, closed his eyes, and sat cross-legged. On the photo in the file, clearly visible, was Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground tunnel of District 24.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao held a self-heating instant ramen bowl, eating heartily, utterly unconcerned by the surrounding bloodshed or the pile of corpses beneath his buttocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, once casualties among the two-hundred-plus ghouls exceeded one-third, they began to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving many corpses behind, the ghouls were driven back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other dozen investigators also held bowls of ramen, but aside from Hōji Kōsuke, who ate normally, everyone else looked pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takizawa Masamichi was vomiting repeatedly, spilling most of his ramen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat could erupt at any moment—they had to eat quickly. Supply deliveries hadn’t arrived; ramen was all they had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Su Xiao ate, his jacket pocket rang—his CCG-issued phone, mandatory for all investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled it out and saw the caller ID labeled: Kuzuryū Jiki—the Director of the CCG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is Special Class White Night. Director, good day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was now a CCG investigator—he still had to maintain appearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night, what’s the situation at the District 24 entrance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzuryū Jiki’s voice came through the phone—Su Xiao’s first direct contact with a CCG high official.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No immediate danger of breach, but it’s close. We need heavy reinforcements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though killing ghouls earned him plenty of CCG contribution points, Su Xiao had no intention of dying for the CCG—unless there was a real benefit. If more than three hundred ghouls attacked, he’d immediately submit Main Quest (2) and leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation was clear: District 24 was perilous. Without benefit, Su Xiao wouldn’t risk himself—so he demanded reinforcements immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already dispatched over two hundred more personnel. Additional reinforcements are on the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night, leave the entrance defense to others—I have another task for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Kuzuryū Jiki’s words, Su Xiao’s lips curled—he smelled a fat lamb.\u003C\u002Fp>",1232,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","73b85214ac7254d00dfd9906c042ea925577804e30d44a8024b2280d9c423cc2","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-103","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-101",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
