Reincarnation Paradise Park

Chapter 66: Chapter 34: Progress

Su Xiao had always been curious about one thing, which was how the Shadow of Annihilation Law fought against mages.

And now it seemed that ’Absolute Demon Physique’ was his effective means against mages.

In Su Xiao’s understanding, the hardest part about fighting mages was getting close to them.

Mages are usually long range, while he is in close combat; ’Absolute Demon Physique’ gave him the capital to close in on mages.

Once he was close to a mage, the battle was basically over.

Su Xiao had noticed at the Reincarnation Paradise’s trading market that most mages had skinny arms and legs. Once he got close, he was the ’dad’!

The Absolute Demon Physique has two abilities.

The first one is rather pitiful, which is the inability to learn magic skills, and the second is the immunity to 40% of magic damage.

The inability to learn magic skills doesn’t mean he can’t learn skills. There are many abilities in Reincarnation Paradise that don’t fall under the category of magic skills.

Most passive skills aren’t considered magic skills.

Moreover, regarding the understanding of ’inability to learn magic skills,’ Su Xiao believed it should be ’inability to learn mage’s skills’ as the correct interpretation.

Thinking about it, as the Shadow of Annihilation Law, if he threw out a fireball technique or the like in combat, it would be extremely incongruous.

When inheriting the ’Shadow of Annihilation Law,’ from the attitude of those six sculptures, they seemed to be very hostile towards mages, which is why the Shadow of Annihilation Law cannot learn mage’s skills.

However, everything is relative. While unable to learn magic skills, he also gained high magic resistance.

-------------

The next day.

Su Xiao got up very early, took off his patient’s gown, and put on his usual clothes.

”Mister Bai Ye, why are you up? Please lie back down, your injuries are very severe.”

A nurse in a white coat hurriedly blocked Su Xiao’s path.

”It’s okay, I’ve recovered.”

The nurse became serious.

”No way!”

This nurse was very responsible, and as a First-grade Investigator, Su Xiao naturally had dedicated staff to care for him.

Su Xiao patted the nurse’s soft shoulder, sidestepped, and got behind her.

”Wait....”

The nurse was about to speak when her colleague stopped her.

”Anzu, let it be. Investigators have their missions, we just need to help them heal their injuries.

This is Mister Bai Ye’s examination report from today, it already meets the discharge standards.”

Anzu was clearly a bit skeptical, took the report, and examined it carefully.

”How is this possible? What kind of physical condition is this?”

....

Su Xiao walked out of the hospital door and immediately took out his phone, dialing Yukinori Shinohara’s number.

”Special Class Shinohara, I’m discharged, the plan to clean up District 14 can proceed.”

Receiving Su Xiao’s call, Yukinori Shinohara was somewhat surprised.

”Is your body okay?”

”No problem.”

”Alright then, return to the branch first, with the same personnel as before, but Tokaji’s injuries haven’t recovered yet, he can’t participate in the clean up of District 14.”

Su Xiao hailed a taxi and drove to the branch.

Twenty minutes later, in Yukinori Shinohara’s office.

”The personnel has been assembled, where you got the information about the ghoul gathering place I don’t care, I just need a result, to turn District 14 into a safe area like District 20.”

The scope of District 14 is not small, if it’s cleaned up, a large population can reside, reducing the threat of ghouls to humans.

”Alright.”

Su Xiao said, making a gesture to leave the office.

”Bai Ye, have you heard recently, headquarters is planning something big in the 11th District.”

Su Xiao stopped in his tracks.

The big move Yukinori Shinohara mentioned in the 11th District might be the scene in the original work where Kaneki Ken is captured, and the CCG confronts the Bronze Tree.

”The 11th District has become more chaotic lately, an organization called the Bronze Tree has actually started openly attacking local ghoul investigators. I’m heading to District 20 in four days, and I don’t know who will be transferred to District 14 to take charge, so the plan to purge District 14 must proceed quickly.

I can support you, but that doesn’t mean others will. I understand your hatred towards ghouls, your father and I once drove away ghouls together.”

Yukinori Shinohara clearly misunderstood something, as Su Xiao’s identity was falsified by Reincarnation Paradise.

But such a misunderstanding worked in Su Xiao’s favor, so he wouldn’t correct it.

”Four days? I’ll do my best.”

Saying this, Su Xiao left the office.

Time was indeed short, and if Yukinori Shinohara was transferred, who knows what changes might occur.

No one could ensure the next Quasi-Special or First-Class Investigator transferred in would definitely support his plan.

The personnel participating in the clean up of District 14 were already waiting in the hall, Maniwa Haruo stood at the front.

Today, Maniwa Haruo’s demeanor was somewhat unusual, his eyes dull and lifeless, and his usually well-groomed blonde hair was simply tied up today.

”First-class Bai Ye, the personnel are assembled and ready to depart anytime.”

Maniwa Haruo’s eyes were red, and his spirit was not very focused.

”Let’s move.”

Su Xiao didn’t inquire about Maniwa Haruo’s unusual behavior, as he wouldn’t go soft on anyone. The remaining time was short, and the main line mission was more important.

According to the map marked by Etori, a large group of ghouls often gathered in an unfinished building in the suburbs, numbering between 200 to 300.

This was a loose group of ghouls with a few leaders.

This time, he wasn’t going to kill them all on his own; there were too many ghouls, and he needed to be cautious and leverage the power of the CCG.

As Su Xiao sat in the front passenger seat, contemplating strategies, he heard the sound of liquid dripping.

Turning his gaze, he saw that Maniwa Haruo, who was driving the vehicle, was already in tears.

Noticing Su Xiao’s gaze, Maniwa Haruo quickly turned his head to the side, wiping his nose.

”In your current state, the survival rate for this mission is less than 20%.”

Su Xiao leaned back in the passenger seat.

”Ugh~.”

Maniwa Haruo could no longer hold back and began to cry.

”First-class Bai Ye, is dying in battle truly the fate of us investigators?”

Maniwa Haruo spoke with a sobbing voice, tears streaming uncontrollably.

”Investigators drive away ghouls, and ghouls also kill investigators; it’s a very fair thing.”

Su Xiao roughly guessed why Maniwa Haruo was like this.

In the original story, Maniwa Haruo’s father, Shimohira Washitsu, dies in battle shortly after the plot begins.

It seemed that Shimohira Washitsu might have already died in battle.

Shimohira Washitsu’s death marked the beginning of the plot, with Kaneki Ken having had ghoul organs transplanted and turned into a ghoul.

The current timeline was shortly after Kaneki Ken entered the Anteiku café and before his capture.

However, since the Gecko was killed by Su Xiao, the chances of Kaneki Ken being captured were high, but whether he would be tortured was unknown.

With contractors existing on the ghouls’ side, given the strong combat power Kaneki Ken demonstrated after being ’taught,’ the likelihood of Kaneki Ken completing his transformation was very high.

Accompanied by Maniwa Haruo’s cries, the CCG convoy arrived at the edge of District 14, near the ghoul gathering place.
