A ghoul? Do such terrifying ghouls really exist in this world? Even the One-Eyed Owl would be swallowed whole by it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinomiya Akira’s golden hair was tangled and plastered to her face with sweat, her chest heaving violently, as if she’d just been thoroughly fucked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough, cough…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuuya leaned against the wall, coughing uncontrollably, as if he were trying to cough out his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao lit a cigarette and sat back against the fleshy wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I finally understand why Koma that bastard ran away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exhaling a plume of smoke, Su Xiao smiled—this near-death sensation was too exhilarating; just moments ago, when the Blood Eye devoured a man, he’d barely escaped having his head bitten off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Shinomiya Akira was speechless. Was this really a normal reaction? Her gaze shifted to Kuuya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuuya’s upturned smirk made Shinomiya Akira question reality—was she the abnormal one, or were her two teammates?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After resting a while, Su Xiao rose and led Shinomiya Akira and Kuuya forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The CCG headquarters had sent thirty reinforcements, but only three had actual combat strength: Su Xiao, Suzuya Kuuya, and Kuroiwa Iwa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Kuroiwa Iwa was dead, leaving only Su Xiao and Suzuya Kuuya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a death rate was exactly what Su Xiao had anticipated—the appearance of the Blood Eye had merely accelerated the slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than an hour of walking, the three reached a dead end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pulled out a mini-computer to check: Koma Takaaki was now very close—no more than half an hour’s distance away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had penetrated deep into District 24. Tokyo wasn’t large, and now he stood at the center of Tokyo’s underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Akira, can you still tell which way to go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinomiya Akira was now acting as a living map—this girl had an extraordinary memory and had memorized nearly every route they’d passed, even without marking the corridors, she could tell if they’d been there before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Probably this one. Or maybe this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinomiya Akira bit a pen between her lips, frowning deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You pick.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao would no longer lead—they’d learned their lesson the last time they ventured into District 24.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then this one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shinomiya Akira chose the path, the three continued forward; Su Xiao soon noticed the corridor was growing narrower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other parts of District 24, the narrowest corridors were still about two meters wide and at least four meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this corridor was now only one meter wide and two meters high, with darkness ahead—only a powerful flashlight could illuminate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone timid would never dare enter such a passage after descending dozens of meters underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao and Kuuya remained calm; Shinomiya Akira, walking between them, grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After advancing dozens of meters, a faint light appeared ahead—not sunlight, but artificial illumination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao reached the end of the corridor, and the sight before him made his pupils contract sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shiroya Jun, what the hell is this? Are you kidding me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinomiya Akira leaned forward to look—and her expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I understand why there are so many ghouls in District 24. This is an underground city for ghouls,” Shinomiya Akira whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Su Xiao’s eyes stretched a vast city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer of earth beneath had been hollowed out, forming a massive underground metropolis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The buildings were dilapidated, mostly metallic, standing unevenly within the subterranean space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s position was one of dozens of entrances to the underground city; looking down, he was over ten meters above the city’s ground level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of entrances dotted the area, like dozens of holes drilled into a metal plate, which had then been erected before the underground city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place is insane. If something like this exists, ghouls can never be eradicated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shinomiya Akira gazed at the underground city, Su Xiao yanked her back into the corridor and signaled silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closer inspection revealed primitive ghouls moving between the buildings—not just primitives, but eyeless ghouls as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two types of ghouls patrolled the underground city like guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why ordinary ghouls in District 24 had fled desperately, with no will to fight—they were refugees, their homes overrun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the underground city, Su Xiao could faintly make out the corpses of ordinary ghouls—mostly elderly and children, few adults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ghouls had emotions too. If most of the dead were the young and old, the primitive ghouls’ assault must have been sudden and brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mystery of District 24 was slowly unraveling. Su Xiao now understood:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Primitive ghouls and ordinary ghouls were enemies—or rather, primitive ghouls had no reason, attacking all life except their own kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyeless ghouls and the primitives likely shared a common origin; they showed no aggression toward each other. Su Xiao even saw them feeding together on a single corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mindless “beast” sharing food meant their bond was far deeper than mere coincidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that over there?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinomiya Akira pointed to the top of a steel building, where a figure lay prone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao squinted—white hair, disheveled white combat gear, a Kyoukai box caked in blood—it was Koma Takaaki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hours of penetrating District 24 and nearly all reinforcements dead, Su Xiao had finally found his target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koma Takaaki’s condition was poor—he showed no obvious wounds, but was trapped atop the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pulled a wrench from his storage space—the reward for unlocking the Crimson Card of the Queen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his stance, stepped forward, and hurled the wrench far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wrench struck a distant metal structure, startling several primitive and eyeless ghouls, who sprinted toward the sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koma Takaaki, lying atop the roof, lifted his head toward the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he turned his gaze toward Su Xiao’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beasts only reacted to the direction of sound; humans instinctively searched for the source.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes met. Su Xiao gestured for Koma Takaaki to come near the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koma Takaaki shook his head, pointed to the center of the underground city, then pointed to Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What does Special Class Koma mean?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinomiya Akira didn’t understand, but Su Xiao did—they’d shared life and death, and some things needed no words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two stay here. If danger comes, flee first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Su Xiao climbed out of the corridor, descending via the dozens of entrance holes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His movements were silent, effortless; soon he reached the bottom and leapt onto the roof of a steel building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao crouched on the roof, surrounded by several primitive ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a nimble monkey, he crouched and leapt across the steel rooftops, utterly silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly ten minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at Koma Takaaki’s rooftop without incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me food and fresh water—I’m about to collapse from thirst.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Su Xiao handed over food and water, Koma Takaaki devoured the food in a few bites and gulped down an entire bottle of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the situation now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Koma Takaaki scanned the surroundings and spoke softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We need to lure these ‘Primitives’ to the city center, then drive them into the ‘Well,’ and seal the Well’s entrance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stared at Koma Takaaki in shock. What the hell was this “Well”?\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","20717e57a4eb88fa370cb3e90260bce9f2675005ea4401ffaf811206389e1c51","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-108","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-106",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
