Reincarnation Paradise

"Twilight Palace, seventh floor. The painful cries of the wounded and the smell of blood permeated the seventh floor, where contractees wrapped in bandages sat scattered around.

"Boss, when's dinner? I'm starving to death." A contractee with a broken leg leaned against the wall, chewing on something. His jaw muscles were well developed, probably from constant chewing.

"It's almost ready. Wait a bit." A team leader responded impatiently, surrounded by a few other leaders engaged in discussion. "Boss, even if I die, at least letdie full."

The contractee with the broken leg murmured. After noticing his team leader's expression, he fell silent. Several team leaders gathered together, led by Yan Chen. 

"The first wave of attacks was successfully repelled. Based on the current casualties, the Paradise of Reincarnation will only hold out against Heavenly Gate Paradise for up to ten days. If we continue launching such assaults daily, at most five days, and our numbers will far exceed the Paradise of Reincarnation's, then we can consider counterattacking..."

As Yan Chen spoke, he noticed several team leaders staring at his hand intently. "What's wrong?"

"Yan Chen, your hand..." A team leader pointed at Yan Chen's hand, looking grim.

"My hand?" Yan Chen raised his crystallized left arm. He had previously taken medication to remove the abnormal condition, which had minimal effect, but there were signs of recovery. The crystallization wasn't an irreversible process.

Raising the crystallized left arm, Yan Chen noticed large cracks appearing on it, on the verge of shattering. For a close combat spear master like Yan Chen, losing a hand was a significant blow, significantly reducing his combat capability.

An OL-dressed beauty beside Yan Chen immediately placed her hand over his crystallized arm. "Boss, haven't you received a prompt?" A pink-coloured energy surged from the OL-dressed beauty's hand, adhering to Yan Chen's left arm like glue, sealing the cracked arm.

"Taffy, chere." The OL-dressed beauty shouted, and soon, a slightly chubby-faced girl with a faint sweet smell approached. She emitted a sense of innocence. "Not good." Taffy observed Yan Chen's left arm and realized the severity of the situation. She was Yan Chen's chief healer, skilled in healing-type skills and medical arts.

Most healing contractees relied on skills, but Taffy was different. In the real world, she was an intern doctor and integrated medical skills with healing-type skills upon entering the Reincarnation Paradise.

"Very serious?" Yan Chen suddenly recalled Xi's previous words, 'Perhaps this meeting will be our farewell.'

"Extremely, extremely serious. These crystals are gradually invading your body."

Taffy gestured behind her, and several of Yan Chen's trusted aides quickly erected a tent on the seventh floor with a red cross on top.

"Excuse me." Yan Chen walked toward the tent, and suddenly, someone spoke up. "If there's no other way, you can cto me." Playing games on a tablet within the Twilight Palace, Su Xiao's surroundings were filled with contractees. It was impossible to open treasure chests or engage in similar activities, leaving only games as a pastime.

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Yan Chen paused, and Taffy pouted beside him. "Brother Baiye, do you have a solution too?"

"I do, but it's not gentle. If you were a mage, there would be no way, but fortunately, you're not." Su Xiao's fingers danced rapidly. His puzzle-solving gwas getting more complex. As for Yan Chen not being a mage, Su Xiao had that feeling since their initial meeting. Yan Chen's aura was different from that of a mage.

"What solution?" Yan Chen wasn't worried about Su Xiao's ill intentions. With the Reincarnation Paradise practically confined within the Twilight Palace, infighting at this twould be brainless.

"Electrotherapy." Su Xiao's fingertips sparked with 'electric arcs.' Sensing it, Yan Chen instinctively stepped back. "This thing... not good." Yan Chen sensed that the energy in Su Xiao's hand wasn't electricity; it didn't carry that terrifying aura. It was an energy that could annihilate everything, extremely unfriendly.

"So, when your people are completely helpless, then cfind me." Su Xiao resumed his game. As an essential force for their side, Su Xiao wouldn't let Yan Chen die. From Yan Chen's previous performance, Su Xiao could see the potential for cooperation, regardless of Yan Chen's inclination for sisterly figures, which didn't concern Su Xiao.

"Thank you." After speaking, Yan Chen headed toward the tent. "Professor Yang." Taffy made a funny face at Su Xiao and followed Yan Chen into the tent. What went unnoticed was that Yan Chen's steps toward the tent were somewhat 'decisive.' 

Despite Taffy's cute appearance and occasional coquettishness, making her seem like a delicate girl who could be easily pushed around, once she started operating, she beca demon, displaying cruelty beyond imagination.

Once, when Yan Chen was severely injured, Taffy removed his heart and other vital organs, keeping him alive using life support while awaiting revival. Yan Chen could never forget a particular action by Taffy at that moment; when she removed his heart, she licked her lips. It wasn't out of fear but curiosity about how his heart tasted, whether it was better boiled or fried.

Taffy was the female version of Hannibal. There were no harmless, cute contractees in the Reincarnation Paradise; most of them were staff members. The OL-dressed beauty frequently entered and exited the tent. The first few times were uneventful, but in the subsequent visits, faint traces of blood were visible on her.

Seeing this scene, those team leaders revealed contemplative expressions. Pained cries emanated from the tent, and Su Xiao's fingers paused. The character in his gwas crushed to death by a mechanism, and the screen turned black and white.

The tent's curtain swayed, and Taffy, dressed in dark green surgical attire, stepped out with a few blood spots on her fair face. With her usual expression, Taffy walked up to Su Xiao and bowed, saying, "Mr. Baiye, our leader wishes to discuss something with you."

"Okay." Su Xiao stood up. If Yan Chen sent someone to find him, it meant Taffy couldn't resolve his crystallization. As for Su Xiao's method, it was straightforward: use the Green-Steel Shadow energy to eradicate the energy causing Yan Chen's crystallization from within his body. Su Xiao entered the tent, and a metallic rust scent hit him, the smell of blood all too familiar to him.

Yan Chen lay shirtless on a makeshift bed, about 40 centimetres high, with adjustable functions. Three significant areas on Yan Chen's chest had already crystallized, forming pale red crystals interconnected with his muscle tissue. As for Yan Chen's left arm, it had utterly crystallized, resembling a piece of artistic red crystal.

"Taffy said I have about 10 hours left to live." Yan Chen's breathing was somewhat tricky. One of his lungs had crystallized, and this crystallized energy was like a relentless pestilence.

Su Xiao was about to check Yan Chen's condition when Yan Chen raised his hand, indicating that he would wait for a moment.

"Baiye, have you dealt with the Flying Arrow guy?" The Flying Arrow man, in Yan Chen's words, was Lan Jue. "Taken care of."

"That's good." Yan Chen pondered for a moment and continued, "Your combat prowess is strong. If I don't make it through this ordeal, only you can handle Xi. Those team leaders are not her match. As for Lucky Girl and Bug Lady, they can, at best, hold Xi back. Grizzly's power is decent, but he's too reckless."

As Yan Chen spoke, he took a few deep breaths. "Also, the reason I ended up in this state is that I killed Xi once."

"Killed Xi?" Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. The intelligence he previously received indicated that Xi could resurrect eight times, giving her nine lives. Now, Yan Chen has confirmed Xi's resurrection ability.
