Follow the plan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the tense Shinodo, Su Xiao looked completely relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night Second Class, I’ve always had a question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’s your Quinque? We might have to fight ghouls soon…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had no Quinque; he preferred using [Dragon-Slaying Flash] over any Quinque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t need a Quinque.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Su Xiao’s words, Shinodo suddenly stopped walking, staring at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need a Quinque?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinodo’s voice rose sharply; she looked as if she were questioning reality itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re here, Akira. Stay right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao patted Shinodo’s shoulder, then sprinted forward, leapt up, and landed on the rooftop of a two-story building beside the street, vanishing into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“White Night… Second Class?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinodo nearly dropped her Quinque; she had a hunch about Su Xiao’s plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now the bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Second Class Investigator, Shinodo could at most drive off Class B to Class A ghouls; if she faced a Class A ghoul, she might not survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, Shinodo felt as if Su Xiao had stripped her naked and dumped her into a frozen wasteland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shinodo thought to flee, seven pairs of blood-red eyes appeared in the surrounding darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One, two, three… seven ghouls total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was dead. If Su Xiao didn’t save her, she was certainly dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinodo pressed the button on her briefcase handle; her Quinque emerged—a whip-like weapon named Amaz.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ghoul Investigator!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did an Investigator show up here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill her. It’s not yet feeding time—I haven’t eaten an Investigator yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, none of the surrounding ghouls turned on each other; their feeding had a fixed schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the feeding in West Street wasn’t spontaneous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some force must be maintaining order—otherwise, these ghouls wouldn’t wait until nine to begin killing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be a selection process: the strongest ghoul among them would earn a place in some organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack. This woman isn’t strong—she doesn’t feel dangerous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More ghouls gathered, swelling from a few to over a dozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinodo’s heart turned icy; she no longer had even a chance to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like it’s working well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s voice came from the rooftop beside the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him, Shinodo exhaled deeply—but still doubted: could this new CCG Investigator really handle so many ghouls? Though he was said to be strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Another Ghoul Investigator?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dozen ghouls surrounding Shinodo eyed Su Xiao warily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao felt nothing like Shinodo—he radiated the aura of a natural predator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding [Dragon-Slaying Flash] drawn, Su Xiao leapt down from the rooftop several meters above, landing smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fourteen. Should be done in five minutes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao walked slowly toward the ghouls, then accelerated until he was sprinting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two clever ghouls immediately sensed danger and turned to flee; the remaining twelve charged straight at Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Kakuja limbs—scale and tail—lashed toward Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, Su Xiao was nearly engulfed by Kakuja.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Shinodo gasped in horror and charged toward a Class A ghoul, Quinque in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Shinodo’s maximum capability—even against a Class A ghoul, she might not prevail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark red Kakuja wrapped around Su Xiao; a brilliant blade of light cut through the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao activated [Qinggangyingsuo], draining 2 mana points per minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten Kakuja limbs were instantly severed, dissolving into red mist that vanished into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls whose limbs were cut screamed in pain, staring at Su Xiao in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sprinted forward, closing the distance to a Class A ghoul; [Dragon-Slaying Flash] left a pale blue trail in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A head shot skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a single glance, the ghoul was slaughtered—clean, swift, and decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao didn’t slow his charge; he shifted his step and lunged toward another nearby ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because their comrade died so abruptly, this ghoul froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a second of shock, he turned and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Foolish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s pitch-black eyes seemed to gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fleeing in battle, turning your back on your enemy—nothing was more stupid. It was suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pthsh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Dragon-Slaying Flash] pierced the ghoul’s heart. Su Xiao gripped the hilt with both hands; his 13-point Strength stat let him effortlessly lift the ghoul and hurl him toward another fleeing ghoul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud. The ghoul rolled like a tumbleweed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ghoul tried to rise, a flash of brilliant blade light appeared in his vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, a ringing buzz in his ears; then, the world spun wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul’s final memory: a headless corpse spurting blood, and a man standing beneath the moon, blade in hand—like Death itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the twelve ghouls, one remained entangled with Shinodo; eleven others remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than twenty seconds into battle, eleven ghouls were reduced to eight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining eight ghouls had only one thought: flee—away from this man who looked like Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible. How could such a powerful human appear in a feeding zone? Doesn’t that organization just let this happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One ghoul roared and turned to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s Agility stat was 13, equal to his Strength—already above average in a ghoul world where physical stats were generally weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made Su Xiao truly formidable wasn’t his stats, but his swordsmanship and combat technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the effect of [Qinggangyingsuo] couldn’t be ignored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But [Qinggangyingsuo] currently had only one combat skill; Su Xiao had acquired it too recently—the full power of this class hadn’t yet manifested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chase began. Su Xiao sprinted down the street, cutting down a ghoul every few steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pained screams and pleas for mercy echoed endlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghouls weren’t stupid—they scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the eight ghouls, Su Xiao left six dead; two lucky ones escaped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Shinodo was still locked in battle with the Class A ghoul; the ghoul was nearly in tears—not afraid of Shinodo, but of the man who looked like Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinodo was fully absorbed in combat; the Class A ghoul’s pressure was immense, leaving her no time to observe the surrounding battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still too inexperienced—in battle, hearing all directions and seeing all angles was essential, or she’d be ambushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“P-please… let me go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul’s sudden plea stunned Shinodo; he’d been dominating the fight—why beg now? The battle paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Shinodo finally take in her surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao sat atop two ghoul corpses, smoking a cigarette, his long blade still dripping blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinodo’s eyes widened in disbelief—she hadn’t even finished her own ghoul, yet he’d slaughtered all the rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You over there—if you try to run, I’ll cut you into a human pole.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao turned to the last remaining ghoul; a new bait had appeared—after all, using a subordinate as bait wasn’t ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>",1233,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","52f1d57f7507f5fde045b23ec8bf37bc3f072e088cb4e1d32e52b09a3c801126","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-48","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-46",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
