After this, I’ll never eat raw meat again—I’m not an animal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl’s hand reached for the corpse, blood smearing her pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You plan to eat in front of me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stepped out from behind the tree trunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, the female high school student shuddered, retracting her red eye and kakugan, hiding her blood-stained hand behind her back as she frantically wiped it, looking panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? How did you get here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CCG, Third-Class Investigator, Bai Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon-Slaying Flash] appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, its gleaming blade flashing a cold gleam under the moonlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“CCG investigator… so this day has finally come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl lowered her head, letting her hidden hand drop; blood still stained her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her kakugan and kakugan reappeared—her kakugan was a tail kagune, emerging from the end of her spine, two thin strands no thicker than fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see my face? My name is Chiyuki. I’m the one who’ll kill you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyuki’s delicate face twisted—this ghoul still retained some humanity, but she was a ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This park is your hunting ground, isn’t it? From your previous actions, you lure lecherous men. What about the missing female students?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s questions enraged Chiyuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those sluts sell their bodies for a little money. They’re human—why don’t they just find someone they love and live quietly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right—I envy them. I envy them for being human. Every time, I tear them apart and boil them to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most ghouls, having fed on humans for so long, are mentally warped—after all, the difference between humans and ghouls isn’t great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao understood the cause. The ghoul he was looking for was Chiyuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You have ten seconds to say your last words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chiyuki blinked, laughing at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re just a Third-Class Investigator? You want me to leave last words? With that broken knife in your hand? It can’t even scratch me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a bizarre last request.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Su Xiao charged forward, sword raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting, screams, cries…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute later, the forest fell silent. Chiyuki lay on the ground, drenched in blood, her tail kagune severed, both arms gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It hurts~… So this is what injury feels like. No wonder those prey screamed so loudly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tears clung to Chiyuki’s lashes—she was only an A-to-S-class ghoul, slain by Su Xiao in a few strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re going to kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao remained silent, standing beside Chiyuki as he raised [Dragon-Slaying Flash].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it wrong to live as a ghoul? Hah~… Eating humans really does bring retribution.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not my concern. Just a mission. Goodbye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long blade fell, spraying blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You killed S- class ghoul, Chiyuki.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Chiyuki was a common ghoul. You gained 0.5% of the World Source. Total World Source acquired: 5.7%.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Your talent ‘Soul Eater’ activated. Permanent +7 Mana. Current Mana: 170.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Obtained 40 CCG Contribution Points.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chiyuki was an S- ghoul, she dropped no chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was unsurprising—Chiyuki’s power gap with Su Xiao was too vast. The World Source gained showed she had negligible impact on the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wall Spider dropped a green chest not because he was strong, but because he was tightly tied to the original story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao pulled out his CCG-issued phone, called, explained the situation to the 14th District branch, then hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest didn’t need his handling—CCG would send personnel to dispose of Chiyuki’s body. Once her kagune sac was extracted, he’d gain additional contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he could keep the kagune sac and spend contribution points to craft it into a Quinque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Quinque made from an S- kagune sac would be only a White-tier item, so Su Xiao chose to submit it, gaining 10 contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Su Xiao’s contribution points became: Third-Class Investigator (Contribution: 50\u002F50). Promote?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose to promote. His rank didn’t change. The Lunhuileyuan  gave a prompt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Awaiting CCG Headquarters’ response. Estimated time: 3 hours.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promotion isn’t automatic—it requires official approval from CCG Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Lunhuileyuan ’s influence, promotion to Second-Class Investigator was certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Lunhuileyuan ’s influence, Su Xiao might have needed years to reach First-Class Investigator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had nothing to do with how many ghouls he eliminated—it was about seniority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with the Lunhuileyuan ’s influence, seniority was discarded. Su Xiao only needed to kill many ghouls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, reaching First-Class Investigator wouldn’t be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CCG investigators had six ranks, from lowest to highest: Third-Class, Second-Class, First-Class, Upper-Class, Provisional Special-Class, and Special-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third-Class was the weakest. Special-Class was the strongest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Su Xiao returned to the 14th District branch, Shinohara Yukki approached him voluntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s how it went. The ghoul has been eliminated. Are there other ghouls to eliminate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao described the events to Shinohara Yukki, who nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve already reported your solo elimination of an S- ghoul to Headquarters. If nothing goes wrong, you’ll be promoted to Second-Class Investigator by special merit—your ability is wasted as a Third-Class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, even Second-Class is beneath you—but without sufficient merit, Headquarters won’t promote you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao said nothing. He only wanted to find the next ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, all other Contractees except him were assigned to the Ghoul faction—meaning the target he needed to hunt, Contractee #12470, was also in the Ghoul faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging from the two sub-tasks of Main Quest (1.2), Main Quest (3) will likely be a confrontation-type task—otherwise, there’d be no need for two factions or a balance mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s the case, Senior Investigator Shinohara, please give me more ghoul locations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completing Main Quest (2) early would bring significant advantages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, that’s a good idea—but you need rest. It’s already 10 PM.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, tomorrow morning, I have a favor to ask you—or rather, Mr. Shinohara has something to ask of you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was puzzled but didn’t press further. After bidding farewell to Shinohara Yukki, he went to the dormitory assigned to him by the 14th District CCG branch—on the 16th floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>11th District, Ota Ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the stronghold of the Bronze Tree, the 11th District had become nearly a human no-go zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bronze Tree repeatedly attacked the 11th District CCG branch, reducing human presence there to near zero. Only scattered civilians lived near the branch, living in constant fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These civilians didn’t choose to live here—they were trapped. The ghouls of the 11th District held them captive as emergency “food supplies.” Only powerful investigators could enter or leave freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls here relied on “imported” human meat—proof of how dangerous the 11th District was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in a half-built building on the outskirts of the 11th District, over twenty humans gathered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These twenty-odd people weren’t a unified group—they formed three factions, varying in size. These were the Contractees of the Ghoul faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hanyu, stop talking nonsense. The balance mechanism exists only because CCG is currently stronger than the Bronze Tree. Don’t go inventing some absurdly overpowered Contractee as your imaginary enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man with fiery red hair and a volatile temper sneered at Hanyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanyu sneered, shaking his head. If the man weren’t a Fire Mage, he wouldn’t have bothered approaching him for an alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huo Bao, don’t think I came to you for an alliance so you can act arrogant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanyu tapped his staff on the ground. A thin layer of ice spread from his feet—he was also a Mage, but an Ice Mage. His damage output was weak, but his control was strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we weren’t on the same side, I’d kill you right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Bao gripped his short staff, heat radiating outward as sparks swirled around his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Bao’s aura made Hanyu’s face change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This feeling… have you found a staff attuned to your element?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanyu stared at the short staff in Huo Bao’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff looked crude—like a burning stick—with a thumbnail-sized red crystal embedded at its tip. Inside the red crystal, flame seemed to burn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Bao looked smug, glancing contemptuously at Hanyu’s staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This treasure cost me 14,000 Park Coins—my total earnings from two worlds, plus the cost of bringing others along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Bao’s face twisted in pain—but beneath it, excitement gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lucky bastard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hanyu’s eyes burned with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, then pulled a small camera from his storage space and tossed it to Huo Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Bao caught it, fiddled with it briefly, then his expression turned grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the camera: footage of Su Xiao instantly killing the Wall Spider and dominating Rize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though hot-tempered, Huo Bao wasn’t foolish—otherwise, he couldn’t have gathered a temporary raid team of ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alliance, Hanyu. We must cooperate in this side world—or we’ll all be killed by that monster. S-class ghoul slaughtered? Damn it—how did this kind of monster enter the ghoul world? He’s at least Level 7.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll show my sincerity first—with an important piece of intelligence: the third stage of the main quest is a confrontation task; I bought this info for 400 Paradise Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Yu sighed in relief; if they allied with the Fiery Alliance, they might still have a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: (Since readers are asking for a group, here it is: 534789565—everyone in the group is a 'pure' 'good kid'~.)\u003C\u002Fp>",1593,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","59790799b4090b1abf387330772b34c6bfce9eca0d3a1564cf522d6fce613308","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-45","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-43",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
