High-Risk Reincarnator Hongye (3K)

Sin Karma Sequence synchronization rate updated. Sin of Lust synchronization rate: 67%

Sin of Lust (67%). Required for ascension: Heart of Lust ×1

Bai Cangshu pushed away the woman’s body, now covered in quite a few bruises. His way of enjoying himself was indeed somewhat rough. Perhaps only Reincarnators with such powerful bodies could endure it.

That level of force only left bruises on Li Qingzi, but on an ordinary person, it might have torn flesh and split skin. Besides, excessive pain would leave neither of them able to feel pleasure.

"You really ought to find a bloodline with regenerative abilities."

Li Qingzi lay weakly sprawled across the bed. Although her Agility stat was high, without the support of Efficiency, her stamina was simply no match for Bai Cangshu’s. The terrifying pleasure he inflicted had left her utterly exhausted in both body and mind.

At that moment, she did not even have the strength to make an angry expression. Her lips merely twitched. When she had said she lacked combat power, he had only mocked the decline in her Haki strength.

Yet after such depraved indulgence, he now thought she needed to acquire a bloodline because her recovery ability was insufficient.

Sometimes, Li Qingzi truly could not tell what kind of person Bai Cangshu was.

In the past, she had only thought of him as a monster focused solely on slaughter, devoid of all empathy. He even seemed completely incapable of feeling the complicated desires common to humanity.

But after this encounter, that impression had been shattered again. Bai Cangshu also possessed that kind of savage side. She vaguely understood why he had set his sights on her.

It was because she was strong enough, "excellent" enough, that he had targeted her…

She closed her eyes and sighed at her own guess.

Bai Cangshu received no response, but he was not annoyed. If this kind of "cultivation" happened a few more times, his Sin of Lust synchronization rate could reach 100%. Then, he would most likely unlock an even more powerful path of ascension.

Previously, after the synchronization rates of Arrogance, Brutality, Greed, and the others had reached 100%, the space had informed him that he had unlocked a hidden ascension route called Scarlet Skull.

He was very curious what kind of ascension route he would obtain after meeting the requirements for Sin of Lust as well, and what abilities and effects he would gain after ascending.

Virtue Sequence 1 · Merciful Release was theoretically extremely powerful, but using its active ability required the so-called Heart of Benevolence. Bai Cangshu rarely felt such a thing within himself.

At his current stage, the abilities of Scarlet Great Sin suited him better.

And besides…

Bai Cangshu touched the mark beneath his earlobe. This thing could only restrain his Satsui no Hado in a peaceful environment like this. Once he entered a dangerous battle, Bai Cangshu would not suppress his power and killing intent just because he feared being consumed by them.

He could easily enter the state of "Killing Intent Bai" again. In that state, forget Merciful Release—he only wanted to tear everything apart.

As Bai Cangshu’s thoughts shifted, Lin Qinfu suddenly called.

Bai Cangshu tossed over the blanket, covering the woman’s pale body. The bloodstains on the bed were somewhat unpleasant to look at. He rose and walked to the window, then answered the call.

But the voice on the other end was not Lin Qinfu’s. It was Mai, the Reincarnator Bai Cangshu had forcibly brought in.

"Lord Mercenary Tao, be careful. A dangerous person designated a high-risk target by various countries has appeared in Kokang. I want to leave this place. Please allow it."

His voice was urgent, and his breathing somewhat unsteady. He had clearly been frightened badly.

Bai Cangshu remembered clearly that Mai possessed a special Teleportation ability. Though its range was not particularly far, a few hundred meters at a time, combined with its nearly nonexistent cooldown, was enough to let him escape from most Reincarnators.

Anyone who could frighten him to this extent must possess combat power far beyond his own.

"Oh? Who is it?"

Hearing that Mercenary Tao was not threatening to prevent him from leaving, Mai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had truly feared being kept here and eventually becoming a sacrifice caught between both sides.

"It’s Hongye!"

"That person who gets hired everywhere and has left terrifying criminal records in multiple countries. She is currently banned from entering several major nations, including East Xia and the American Federation. I only took one look at her, and she noticed me. If I hadn’t run fast enough, I might already have been attacked…"

Mai rapidly reported the information, leaving Lin Qinfu, who was wearing a bathrobe, rather confused. He had met Mai before. The man came and went like a ghost, yet he now seemed extremely panicked.

And this Hongye they were talking about—was she some professional assassin, or a hidden expert?

Bai Cangshu had no information on this person in his mind, but beside him was clearly a "veteran" who knew quite a bit about all kinds of Reincarnators.

Smack!

He patted the woman’s body without the slightest tenderness.

"Go get your body repaired in the space, then arrange a Language Comprehension Ability for yourself. I have something to ask you."

Li Qingzi got up and covered her chest. She had no right to refuse. Still, seeing the man who had only just indulged wildly with her now ordering her around without the slightest affection made her uncomfortable.

But she quickly grew terrified of that discomfort. A slave would not feel upset because her master did not cherish her. She felt that her mentality was extremely dangerous.

She had once read some psychology books while studying abroad. She knew that when people suffered imprisonment and abuse, they could develop a strange submissive mindset. In more serious cases, they might even develop special feelings toward their abuser.

She immediately steadied her mind, Haki covering her entire body. In the next instant, a flash of light carried her out of the room. Yet before even a breath had passed, she returned to stand before Bai Cangshu.

Because time flowed differently in the space, she had treated her injuries, mastered Language Comprehension, and even checked on the Slum Area. Yet only a few seconds had passed in the real world.

She had put on the green robe that had once belonged to Moon Demon again, accentuating her curvaceous figure.

After hearing Bai Cangshu’s question, she quickly found the relevant information in her mind.

"Hongye, a high-risk Reincarnator in the real world, is most likely Crimson Night in the space. She is a Title-level Reincarnator affiliated with the Salty Fish Gathering."

With the Language Comprehension ability permanently set, she now spoke exactly like an East Xia Person, with no trace of an accent.

Bai Cangshu heard the name Salty Fish Gathering again. He only knew that this gathering was a mixed bag, a gathering chosen by down-and-out Reincarnators who did not belong to any major team.

But he had not expected such a famous Title-level Reincarnator to emerge from it.

Before being controlled by Bai Cangshu and losing all her resources, Li Qingzi had been very willing to spend resources. As such, she possessed a certain degree of knowledge about these figures who were quite famous in the real world.

"Hongye is very dangerous. She is probably a Supernatural Ability User, or someone who controls some kind of magic. Her destructive power is immense. She once destroyed an entire port in Japan with a single strike, which is why various countries marked her as a threat."

A powerful Title-level Reincarnator. The smile on Bai Cangshu’s face grew increasingly dangerous. At a time like this, it was unlikely that her appearance in the Kokang Special Region had nothing to do with the Finality Empire.

But whether she had been hired by Great Sun of Finality to safeguard the population transfer, or whether she had learned of the news and come to create some trouble for Great Sun of Finality’s plan—

She would inevitably be drawn into the battle three days later.

And all he needed to do was sit back and wait, then find a way to reap whoever remained.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome. Since when did Wa State get someone this dangerous?"

The woman called Hongye leaned against the sofa, looking through the information brought by the Ming Family. It showed the horrific scenes left behind at camps and bandit dens. Based on her experience, it was most likely an extremely powerful close-combat Reincarnator who had massacred those people through pure physical violence.

And given that Wa State had now been unified, while some Reincarnators had previously disappeared there—

Hongye had basically confirmed that a dangerous person had taken up residence in Wa State.

A man’s helpless voice came through the black earpiece in her ear.

"Sister Hongye, didn’t someone in the gathering warn us already? That area is very dangerous. East Xia may very well be making an example out of them. Why did you still go looking for trouble?"

The woman lay back on the sofa and said,

"Your Sister Hongye has a hard life. I’m not like those heartless bastards who cut off all ties with their families."

"My family is full of troublesome people…"

"A gambling father, a sick mother, and a younger brother in school. Your Sister Hongye can only become that shattered her."

The woman was half joking and half serious. The man in the earpiece did not know how to respond and could only say in the end,

"Then don’t act rashly yet. Wait until we get there."

"Recently, that lunatic has been circulating the Cursed Videotape in the real world, so I have a lot of work here. Wait two days for me. I’ll get there on the third day."

Hongye ended the call and looked out the window. The wind in Northern Myanmar was still warm, but a brutal battle was about to begin.

To put it a little dramatically, this was a battle that would affect the order between Reincarnators and the real world. No matter who won or lost, ordinary humans and Reincarnators would begin to split apart.

The woman watched virtual currency arrive in her account, then transferred it to her family again.

"I hope I won’t make the wrong choice…"

At this juncture, every Reincarnator who participated in this battle would affect the situation. She did not know whether her choice was right or wrong either.

Things like righteousness and the bigger picture were too distant and too troublesome for her. She only wanted to blast away every problem.

Kyoto, Japan. In a luxurious high-rise apartment, a sharply dressed woman in a suit pressed a switch, and the electric curtains opened.

Outside lay a bustling nightscape. Kyoto’s nights were quite beautiful.

"Ayano, your sister has to go on a business trip at short notice. I may not be back for quite some time this time. Will you be alright by yourself?"

The woman looked hesitant, deeply worried that her thirteen-year-old younger sister would be unable to take care of herself or might be bullied.

The girl lying on the bed stood up, her silver-white hair cascading down her back.

She looked at her sister and said calmly,

"Don’t worry, Sister. Go to work. I’m very strong."

The woman shook her head helplessly. Her younger sister was good in every way, except that she had reached that chuunibyou age.

"Oh, right, Sister. Wear this talisman. I got it from a shrine. Haven’t there been a lot of Killing Videotapes lately? You’ll be fine if you wear it."

The woman did not believe in Killing Videotapes, much less that this sort of talisman could be useful. But seeing her sister’s serious expression, she put it on anyway.

After her sister left, the girl lay in the empty, spacious room. Bored, she produced a dried finger in her hand once more.

"So boring. This world is really boring."

"There are too few interesting people like Mercenary Tao. Heh, I should give this world a little more fun~"

The girl’s eyes were large. She clearly had a sweet face, but when she smiled, the corners of her lips curled up and her eyes narrowed, overflowing with wickedness.
