Reincarnation Paradise Park-Chapter 713 - 23: Cruelty

The cries of the young office worker triggered a chain reaction, and the ordinary people in the surrounding iron cages also began to cry and beg for mercy, creating complete chaos.

Strangely, the resentful servants in the courtyard didn’t get angry, and were even chatting and laughing in groups of two or three, because not long ago, they were just as weak as this.

"Don’t waste time, you guys, drag those three out."

A resentful servant who seemed like a leader was somewhat impatient. The reason he was considered the leader was due to his strong physique, unusual for ordinary resentful servants.

This guy stood at least three meters tall, with muscles knotted all over his body, and his heart and throat protected by an exoskeleton.

A few resentful servants entered the iron cage and dragged three ordinary people out.

"No, help!"

"Mmm~"

"I have money, I can give you a lot of it."

The three made their last struggle, but unfortunately, the resentful servants were unmoved and easily lifted them, heading towards the center of the courtyard where the array was located.

A few resentful servants roughly threw the three ordinary people into the array.

Plop.

The three were thrown so hard that stars seemed to flash in their eyes, and as they struggled to get up, the magic power-infused array emitted a light, causing them to immediately collapse powerlessly to the ground.

Tubes formed of magic power emerged from the array, numbering at least in the hundreds.

Seeing these tubes, not to mention those ordinary people, even Su Xiao felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

These tubes were as flexible as snakes and could extend and retract freely. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Splat.

Blood splattered, as a tube inserted into the skull of the young office worker, whose mouth opened to the extreme, wanting to scream but unable to make a sound.

Tubes inserted into the young office worker’s skull one after another, while the rest found their prey, and in an instant, the top of the three ordinary people’s heads were covered with tubes.

The three of them convulsed on the ground as if they had stepped on an electric gate, a scene the surrounding resentful servants were accustomed to, while the ordinary people inside the iron cages were too scared to make any sound.

After convulsing for a few minutes in the array, one of their eyeballs began to spin wildly in its socket, and upon seeing this, several resentful servants stood up.

"Another new comrade is emerging, take him for the ceremony, quickly!"

A smile appeared on the face of the resentful servant leader, as the chance of an ordinary person transforming into a resentment creature was very low, only about 5%.

Two resentful servants entered the array, first pulling out the tubes from the young office worker’s head, then taking him toward the Dharma Hall in the center of Liu Dong Temple.

As for the other two ordinary people in the array, they were lying there with slight convulsions; although not dead, death was not far away.

"Kill... kill me..."

A failed-to-transform ordinary person murmured, and a resentful servant immediately stepped forward, applying some sort of black mud to his head.

"Take him to the Eternal Life Pool as nourishment."

The resentful servant leader signaled to continue repeating this process.

Screams, the thick smell of blood, and feelings of despair were mixed together, transforming this empty courtyard into Hell.

One can imagine the psychological state of those ordinary people inside the cages; nothing is more despairing than waiting for death or becoming a monster.

This was the Main Palace of Liu Dong Temple, closest to the mountain gate, and compared to the deeper Dharma Hall and Main Hall, this was nothing.

Su Xiao released his grip from the edge of the wall, silently landing, obviously realizing that this was not a feasible infiltration point.

Liu Dong Temple was not a game dungeon; the monsters within wouldn’t wait for him to kill them one by one, making gradual progress.

If Su Xiao were to engage any resentful servant inside Liu Dong Temple, failing to kill them immediately would summon a large swarm of resentment creatures within three minutes, and within five minutes, every enemy inside Liu Dong Temple would be roused.

Even when dealing with resentment creatures, he had to kill them instantly, preventing them from making a sound.

Su Xiao continued along the walls of Liu Dong Temple, aiming to head directly to the main hall at the rear, where the Soul Lamp needed for his mission was located.

However, wishes are beautiful, but reality is cruel. After spending an hour making a full circle around Liu Dong Temple, Su Xiao discovered that apart from the opportunity to infiltrate through the front Main Palace’s walls, entering from the Dharma Hall or Main Hall was completely impossible.

It wasn’t any barrier that stopped him; it was the abundance of mice near the walls.

The mice Su Xiao encountered were certainly not ordinary; they were a type resembling hedgehogs, covered in bone spurs.

According to the detected data, these spine rats had a Life Assimilation Degree of 3%.

Any creature with a recorded Life Assimilation Degree in the data had been transformed from ordinary animals or people by the array.

Through observation, Su Xiao roughly understood the transformation process of resentment creatures, starting with throwing ordinary people into the array for preliminary transformation, though the exact principle was unknown to him.

This transformation process had a very low success rate, and the failed ordinary persons were to be sent as nourishment to the Eternal Life Pool.

What the Eternal Life Pool was, Su Xiao did not know, but with humans as nourishment, it was clearly not a friendly place.

Su Xiao half-kneeled on the ground, sensing his surroundings.

Through observation, Su Xiao found that even near the front Main Palace of Liu Dong Temple, there were spine rats, though fewer in number, giving him an opportunity for successful infiltration.

After walking a distance along the wall, Su Xiao placed his ear against it, finding the other side silent, and decided to infiltrate Liu Dong Temple from there, near the Main Palace and closer to the Dharma Hall.

Climbing onto the wall, behind it was a quiet courtyard. Just as Su Xiao was about to enter, footsteps approached.

Two blood-stained resentful servants entered the courtyard, pushing each other occasionally but remaining silent.

"Hurry, take it out..."

"Don’t rush, I’ll seal it... otherwise, there’ll be..."

Their voices were small, and Su Xiao, perched on the three-meter-high wall, was waiting for them to leave.

Unexpectedly, instead of leaving, the two headed toward his position at the wall.

Their conversation continued:

One of the resentful servants carefully pulled out a plastic bag from his arms, containing some jelly-like objects.

Gulu~

Su Xiao clearly heard the sound of swallowing from on top of the wall.

"Why did it turn into this? It used to be liquid."

One resentful servant rubbed the ’jelly’ with his hand.

"Is this water from the Eternal Life Pool? I’ve seen that pool water before; it was clearly a light green liquid, definitely not this jelly-like stuff!"

"How would I know the pool water would turn into this."

The two resented-servants began to argue in low voices, seemingly losing interest in the ’jelly.’

"What do you mean, I meant well..."

"***** you, give me back my ten pounds of fresh human meat."

"You..."

"Give it back!"

A resentful servant’s eyes glowed red, suggesting a burst of murderous intent from being deceived.

Though they appeared capable of normal conversation, the resentful servants weren’t truly so; once severely agitated, they became extremely bloodthirsty.
