Last auction left me quite dissatisfied.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ghoul dressed as a noblewoman spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All ghouls present wore masks; ghouls must not reveal their faces to humans, and likewise not to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If two ghouls are enemies and one learns the other’s identity, then reports them to the CCG, the reported ghoul will be in grave danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most ghouls hide like rats in sewers, lurking in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But exceptions exist—such as a girl named Kōsuke Izumi, a reckless show-off who leads the Bronze Tree and is also a novelist, openly exposed to the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No more nonsense—tonight’s auction items will surely satisfy you all. Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the host on stage was about to announce the auction’s start, Su Xiao pressed his Bluetooth earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Action.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Su Xiao spoke, several ghouls beside him tensed, glancing at him and stepping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you just say, you bastard?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He said ‘action’—this guy’s off. Kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could he be a CCG investigator? I’m out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because Su Xiao uttered “action,” a small section of the auction hall erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder these ghouls reacted so wildly—years of relentless CCG hunts had left them all on edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tension spread through the auction hall; even the host on stage sensed something was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All lights in the auction hall suddenly went out, plunging the room into darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams, roars, and the crash of overturned chairs and tables followed in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao’s vision was pitch black, yet he showed no panic, his expression calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A device resembling a “monocular telescope” suddenly appeared in his hand; he calmly placed it on his head, and his vision returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only his right eye saw, and everything appeared green, it was still vision restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao had prepared night-vision goggles and pre-ordered the power cut the moment action began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhanlong Flash appeared in his hand; Su Xiao walked slowly toward a ghoul, placing the blade against his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul was completely unaware, hands stretched out before him, body slightly bent, blindly groping the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao was testing whether ghouls’ red eyes had night vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, ghouls lacked this ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled Zhanlong Flash; the blade sliced through flesh with a soft sound, blood gushing forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul’s eyes suddenly widened, his throat gurgling; seconds later, he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the pitch-black auction hall, Su Xiao wearing night-vision goggles was like a hungry wolf among sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moving among the ghouls, Zhanlong Flash carved through the air with streaks of blade light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squelch, squelch…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of weapons piercing flesh came one after another; ghouls fell one by one, blood soaking the ground where Su Xiao walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaos in the auction hall masked Su Xiao’s actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over a dozen seconds, more than twenty ghouls died beneath Su Xiao’s blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction hall was a semi-enclosed building; the thick stench of blood spread, and other ghouls sensed something amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s going on? The smell of blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a CCG trap—run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction hall had become a madhouse; over a hundred ghouls ran wildly in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some extreme-tempered ghouls unleashed their Kakuja and swung them blindly; any ghoul who came near was killed by accident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The death rate among ghouls accelerated further; Su Xiao knew time was running out—the ghouls wouldn’t let him slaughter them indefinitely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao moved expressionlessly through the crowd, ghouls falling one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood stained his cheeks, yet he paid it no mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does killing ghouls bring psychological pressure? Perhaps others feel it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the Cycle Paradise, it’s either you die or I live; between killing and being killed, Su Xiao chose to raise his blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood and severed limbs sprayed; Su Xiao’s eyes began to glow red from killing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!” A glass bottle shattered, flames bursting high with a whoosh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ghoul host on stage, having fumbled for a bottle of strong liquor, turned it into a makeshift incendiary and smashed it on the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was likely leftover alcohol from daytime auctions—ghouls would never auction alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames illuminated the entire auction hall, dispelling the darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Drip… drip…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood dripped from the tip of Zhanlong Flash; all ghouls’ gazes fixed on Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around Su Xiao lay at least thirty ghouls, sprawled haphazardly, all with throats slit, their blood pooling beneath him into a thin crimson lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A B-class ghoul swallowed hard, eyes filled with terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once all ghouls noticed Su Xiao, their first reaction wasn’t to swarm him—but to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these ghouls soon realized all exits were sealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Su Xiao’s order; the men outside were merely a precaution. Even if he were now captain of the Purge Team, the contribution points he earned from CCG members killing ghouls were minimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, to rapidly rise to Senior Investigator, Su Xiao had to kill enemies himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With all exits sealed, through the cracks, the ghouls saw large groups of investigators outside—driving those present toward madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do we do? We’re done. We’re dying tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run! The guy with the sword is coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The chaos intensified; Su Xiao stabbed a ghoul’s throat, earned points, and the ghoul collapsed lifeless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not all ghouls were fleeing; two S-class ghouls remained—one was the clown-masked host on stage, the other stood directly before Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pig-mask, a fat body—before Su Xiao stood an S-class ghoul, at least three hundred jin, round and bloated like a ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re human.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat ghoul’s Kakuja was a Kōja; the Kakuja sacs sat on his shoulders. Once manifested, he looked like he wore half-body armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy clearly had high durability—slow, but thick-skinned and tough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao charged forward with blade in hand; the fat ghoul roared and charged at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They closed in rapidly; Su Xiao moved nimbly, while the fat ghoul lumbered like a heavy tank, shaking the ground with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat ghoul lowered his head and slammed into Su Xiao; Su Xiao abruptly halted, focus razor-sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sidestepped effortlessly, avoiding the ghoul’s charge, and swung his long blade at the ghoul’s lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squelch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One fat leg fell to the ground; Su Xiao used almost no force, relying entirely on the ghoul’s own momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pig-like scream rang out; the fat ghoul crashed to the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao leapt forward, planted his foot on the ghoul’s back, and pressed the tip of Zhanlong Flash against the back of his skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no~… please, don’t…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold, sharp sensation against his skull made the fat ghoul stutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squelch.” The blade pierced his skull; Su Xiao showed no hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stood on the ghoul’s foot, he clearly felt the body convulse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pale green treasure chest floated above the fat ghoul’s corpse; seeing it, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky—killing an S-class ghoul yielded a green treasure chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stowed the chest, then turned his gaze to the second S-class ghoul—the clown-masked host.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing Su Xiao’s stare, the clown-masked ghoul hurriedly spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait—I’m from the Tsukiyama family. You can’t kill me.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-19T23:49:42.795Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4fa2adc73b81c3e0a03a71fdfe59d712e8a810c3da4a1d1325c8c67435b464ab","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-55","paradise-of-reincarnation-chapter-53",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fparadise-of-reincarnation-cover.jpg"]
