Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Jiluo was not confused about Lin Yi's ability to obtain the black flute.

The last time he tracked Lin Yi, Jiluo already knew that Lin Yi's limit could not be stopped by a black flute.

In Lin Yi, Kiruo sensed a characteristic that was very similar to that of Lisa and Orson.

At noon, Liko rushed to Lin Yi's room, eager to pull Lin Yi out.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? It's not lunch time yet." Lin Yi looked at Rico's hurried movements and patted her head gently.

Because of Lin Yi, the food in the orphanage has improved greatly.

Whether it was carbohydrates or meat, Lin Yi did his best to satisfy them.

Anyway, these things don’t cost much money for Lin Yi.

After just a few days, Lin Yi clearly discovered that the children in the orphanage had grown taller.

After all, what children need most during their growth period is nutrition, and Lin Yi's arrival finally made up for what the children lacked.

As for Riko, under Lin Yi's food "offensive", her favorability naturally increased rapidly.

Originally, she just had a slight liking for Lin Yi, but now, she already regarded Lin Yi as a close friend.

At night, Liko often took Reg and Nado to Lin Yi's room to play.

"We're not going to eat. Uncle Hubble and his cave exploration team are back." Riko couldn't wait to drag Lin Yi to the door of the orphanage.

Lin Yi discovered that many pedestrians were walking towards the Abyss in the center of Oss Town.

As Lin Yi got closer to the central square, the flow of people around him became larger and larger.

There was no other choice, Lin Yi could only take out the black flute and put it around his neck, then he put Rico and Reg on his shoulders and squeezed in with great effort.

There were people in the crowd who wanted to curse Lin Yi, but when they saw the black flute hanging around Lin Yi's neck, they suddenly lost their voices.

In this town, the rank of the flute is considered an alternative status symbol.

Lin Yi's black flute represents that, apart from the five white flutes, only the holder of the black flute can be considered to have the same status as Lin Yi.

Relying on the "power" of the black flute, Lin Yi successfully brought Riko and Reg to the square in the center of the Abyss.

Lin Yi also saw several familiar faces here, such as Alyssa who had handled the procedures for Lin Yi before, and the vice president who had certified Lin Yi's level before.

"Mr. Lin, you are here too." Alyssa was the first to notice Lin Yi. After all, in this area, Lin Yi was the only one carrying two children on his shoulders. It was hard for Alyssa not to notice him.

"Riko said she wanted to come over and see it, so I came over to join in the fun."

After arriving at the location, Lin Yi put Riko down.

In the center of the Abyss Square stands a mechanical elevator, which is powered by solar jade.

After Lin Yi arrived, he noticed that the mechanical elevator had begun to rise slowly, which meant that the people should have arrived.

At this moment, the crowd behind Lin Yi burst into cheers.

For the people in the small town of Oss, cave exploring is everything to them, and everything they have is for the purpose of cave exploring.

Therefore, Hubble and his crew, who returned from the depths of the Abyss, naturally became heroes in the eyes of the people of Oss.

Amid the deafening cheers of the crowd, the elevator slowly came to a stop.

After a while, a group of cave explorers came out one after another, their clothes stained with blood. Although everyone looked extremely tired, they seemed to be in good spirits.

The backpacks they carried were bulging, and it was obvious that they had gained a lot from this expedition.

The leader walking at the front of the team was a middle-aged man with a full beard. His expression was extremely serious, and he was holding a small box tightly in his hand.

His cautious look showed that he treasured the contents of the box very much.

"Riko?" Because of Lin Yi, Riko and Reg stood directly at the elevator exit this time, so Hubble saw them at a glance.

Thinking of the items in the box, Hubble was conflicted. After hesitating for a long time, he finally decided to ask the staff to call Riko over.

After all, this thing is the item that destroyed Qing, and Riko has the right to know what is inside it.

Soon, Lin Yi found that Alyssa was walking towards the three of them.

Alisa conveyed Hubble's intention to them, saying that Hubble asked Riko to come over.

Originally, Alyssa only wanted to take Liko there alone, but Lin Yi said he wanted to go with them to take a look.

Alyssa had no way to refuse Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi's identity was Hei Di. Not to mention her, even her boss did not dare to refuse Lin Yi's request.

Helplessly, Alyssa had to bring Lin Yi, Liko and Reg to Hubble.

"Uncle Hubble!" Riko's face was full of excitement, and she fell on Hubble's chest like a happy little bird.

Hubble smiled and touched Liko's little head, then looked at Lin Yi.

Not only Hubble, but also the cave explorers behind Hubble noticed Lin Yi, the unfamiliar Black Flute.

Their eyes were full of confusion and vigilance. Some of them looked extremely nervous, with their hands quietly placed on their waists, ready to draw their weapons and fight at any time.

In their perception, Lin Yi didn't seem like a cave explorer, but more like an abyss creature.

"That's enough. Put away all your weapons. This is Oss, not the Abyss."

Hubble sensed the atmosphere of the team members behind him, and after being reminded by Hubble, these cave explorers loosened their hands holding their weapons.

At this time, they found that Lin Yi now looked like an ordinary Black Flute cave explorer, without the disturbing aura he had before.

"What's going on? Did I sense it wrongly?" The deputy captain behind Hubble lifted his backpack with confusion.

Just now, Lin Yi gave him the feeling that he was a creature from the abyss, but why did he suddenly become an ordinary person?

"Hello, I'm Hubble, the leader of the Guli Cave Exploration Team."

Hubble extended his hand towards Lin Yi as a greeting.

"Lin Yi, an outsider, just passed the assessment and became Black Flute two days ago."

After hearing Lin Yi's self-introduction, many members of the Guli Cave Exploration Team turned their eyes to Lin Yi.

"Interesting." Someone murmured softly.

"Liko, I called you here today not for anything else, but because this letter is about your mother." Hubble slowly opened the small box in his hand, and saw a white flute and a bulging envelope inside the exquisite small box.

Riko was naturally familiar with the appearance of this white flute.

Almost everyone in the town of Oss knew the styles of the five white flutes, so Riko recognized the white flute in Hubble's hand at a glance.

And the moment Bai Di appeared, the crowd around him fell silent.

"The white flute of [Annihilate the Lord]?"

"Yes, it's the white flute of [Annihilation Lord]. Look, it's exactly the same as the one I copied."

You know, the flute is a symbol of status for cave explorers, especially the white flute, which is the key to the deeper levels. Few cave explorers will send this thing up, unless the cave explorer has already returned to the Abyss.

"Mom, she..." When Riko saw the white flute in Hubble's hand, her expression froze for a moment, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

Obviously, Riko also understood what it meant to bring up the cave explorer's flute.

"I'm not sure. I didn't find Annihilation Qing's body on the fourth floor. There was only a letter. It looks like someone buried this thing there." Hubble's tone was full of doubts, and he seemed to feel something was very strange.

Hearing Hubble's words, Lin Yi calmly glanced at Reg, who still had no idea what was going on.

[Lord Annihilation] Lisa's tomb on the fourth floor of the Giant's Cup was most likely built by Reg before he lost his memory, and the things inside were also most likely put there by Reg.

But what Lisa didn't expect was that Riko's unexpected move would cause Reg to lose his memory.

This unexpected situation disrupted all subsequent arrangements.

Hubble placed the white flute in Riko's hand, and then the group, led by the guild staff, came to a small room on the third floor of the guild.

Here, Hubble recounted in detail what happened during his exploration of the cave, and emphasized that he had discovered the tomb of [Annihilation Lord] on the fourth floor.

After hearing this, the president of the Cave Exploration Guild turned his gaze to Riko.

To be honest, he didn't expect that [Annihilation Lord]'s child had been hiding in an orphanage. He only learned this information today.

"So, in your opinion, is Lord Annihilation alive or dead now?" After listening to Hubble's story, the president of the Cave Exploration Guild placed his hands on the table to support his head. The news about Lord Annihilation Lisa must have concerned many people.

"According to my opinion, Lord Annihilation should be fine. The tomb on the fourth floor should have been built by someone else, because I found information about the sixth floor of the Abyss, the City of No Return, in the envelope."

"What did you say?!!"

Upon hearing that the envelope contained information about the sixth layer of the Abyss, the "City of No Return", the president could no longer sit still and stood up from his chair.

You know, due to the rising load curse on the sixth level of the Abyss, the guild has not had accurate intelligence.

The little information the guild knew was bought from Lord Dawn Podordo, but Lord Dawn Podordo's asking price was very high, and any information about the sixth floor could be said to be very concise.

Even though the guild spent a huge price, most of the information they obtained was not of much use.

"It seems that [Annihilation Lord]'s journey to the Absolute World was successful. In this case, spread the news that [Annihilation Lord] is going through the Absolute World."

The journey to the outer world is a special term in the small town of Oss. It is something that only Black Flute and White Flute are qualified to access.

The so-called journey to the extreme boundaries refers to cave explorers going deep into the area below the fifth layer. This behavior has also been given such a unique name.

Because of the existence of rising loads, the danger level below the fifth floor is vastly different from that above the fifth floor.

The reactions to the Abyss Curse above the fifth level can still be treated with medical means, and there is a possibility of recovery.

The curse of the abyss below the fifth layer is irreversible. Once you are infected, there is no turning back.

In addition, the danger level of the abyss creatures and environment below the fifth layer is incomparable to that of the upper layers.

Therefore, traveling to the realm below the fifth layer is called the journey to the absolute realm, which means a farewell journey to this world.

Any cave explorer who has ventured into the Great Beyonder Realm is already dead in the eyes of everyone in Oss Town.

After all, cave explorers below the sixth floor cannot return; this is an iron rule that cannot be violated.

In this world, there are only two possibilities for cave explorers who embark on a journey to the Abyss. One is to continue to go deeper into the Abyss, struggling forward in endless darkness and danger; the other is to face the coming of death.

But as one continues to go deeper into the Abyss, the upward load will only become more and more severe, and in the end, death will be the end that awaits this cave explorer.

Therefore, when a cave explorer embarks on the journey to the extreme limit, in everyone's eyes, he has already stepped into the shadow of death and there is no possibility of survival.

Next, Hubble handed the envelope to the guild and took out a note and handed it to Riko.

"Riko, this is a note from your mother's envelope. It's most likely for you." Hubble's tone was gentle.

The president on the side saw this scene and wanted to say something. After all, it involved important information and he should treat it with caution.

When his eyes swept over Lin Yi behind Riko, he finally swallowed the words on his lips.

The Cave Explorers Guild had reaped a lot of rewards this time, so there was really no need to snatch a letter written by a mother to her child.

Not only would that be unworthy of the guild, it might also cause unnecessary trouble.

With a nervous and excited mood, Riko took the very light note from Uncle Hubble's hand.

This note was not any paper Lisa had ever seen before. Its surface was very smooth, like delicate silk. It was hard to imagine how Lisa had left her handwriting on it.

"I... will be waiting for you... at the... bottom of Naraku." Riko read the contents of the note word by word. Those short words struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

Two lines of tears quietly slid down from Riko's eyes. Since she could remember, she had no memory of her mother, Lisa.

Ryza entered the Abyss when Rico was two years old. During Rico's growing up years, her mother had always been a distant and vague existence.

It was not until today that Riko finally realized that her mother had not forgotten her. That deep maternal love had crossed the long years and the endless abyss and reached her hands.

After the news about Lisa spread, the entire town of Oss fell into a carnival.

The petals of a kind of plant were floating in the sky, fluttering like snowflakes, which was a beautiful sight.

This plant is known to last a hundred years. In the small town of Oss, petals of this flower are scattered as a memorial at every wedding or funeral.

At this moment, Riko was still fumbling with the white flute and the note in her hands. It was obvious that today's incident had caused quite a shock to Riko.

Originally, the guild wanted to take back the white flute from Riko's hand. After all, it was the symbol of [Lord of Annihilation] Ryza. Even if it did nothing, it was a belief in the Cave Explorers' Guild.

But Lin Yi and Hubble spoke up at the same time to stop the president's proposal.

They knew very well how important the white flute was to Riko. It was not just an object, but also a bond between Riko and Lisa.

Seeing that no one agreed, the president had no choice but to give up the idea.

After all, the white flute is different from other flutes. Only the holder of the white flute can use it. Even in Riko's hands, this thing is just a souvenir.

"The greatest soul in Baidi has returned here again after 10 years."

"For sale: [Lord of Annihilation] Ryza's white flute toy. Hurry and buy it if you need it."

"【Lord Annihilation】Ryza's storybook, 3 knuts per copy, buy two and get one free."

As the news of [Annihilation Lord] Bai Di's return spread, the entire town of Os was plunged into jubilation.

For the entire town of Oss, this is undoubtedly a grand celebration to commemorate [Lord of Annihilation] Lisa.

If no news about [Lord of Annihilation] Lisa is reported back in the future, then this celebration will most likely be the last event related to Lisa.

After seeing this scene, Riko's originally melancholy heart was also infected by the warm atmosphere around her.

Back at the orphanage, the other children were also talking about the stories and legends related to [Lord of Annihilation] Lisa.

Nado and the others came to Riko's side, their eyes full of concern and curiosity.

As Rico's friends, they naturally knew very well about Rico's life experience.

"Riko, are you okay?" Nado looked at Riko with concern. To be honest, he was really worried about Riko's mood.

After all, most people would feel very uncomfortable if they encountered Riko's situation.

"It's okay. Look, my mother left me a note."

Rico took out the note left by Lisa from her pocket, and seeing Rico's smile, Nado finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jiluo also came over and motioned Lin Yi to talk aside.

"Riko's background has been exposed?"

"Well, when Hubble handed the white flute to Riko, everyone else saw it. I'm afraid that if someone with ulterior motives investigates Riko's background, they will soon discover it."

"Then I'll leave Riko to you from now on." After hearing what Kiruo said, Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the little boy who was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

His young face showed maturity and determination beyond his age.

"I know that sooner or later, Riko will enter the Abyss. This is her destiny. When the teacher brought Riko back, she has been crawling towards the center of the Abyss involuntarily."

"Originally I thought this day would come later, but now it seems that it won't be long before the people who were looking for the teacher's relics will come to our door."

"And Riko, based on my understanding of this guy, I'm afraid he is now planning how to enter the Abyss. I know you also want to enter the Abyss, so Riko, I'll trouble you when the time comes."

Kiruo saw the matter very clearly. From the moment Rico's identity was exposed, the countdown for Rico to enter the abyss began.

Apart from the Abyss, there is no place that can stop the forces that covet the relics of Lord Annihilation.

"You kid, forget it, I will help take care of Rico. And you are only fifteen or sixteen years old now, don't be sad every day, smile more." Lin Yi looked at Kiruo's expressionless face and patted Kiruo on the shoulder.

Lin Yi is still very optimistic about Jiluo.

According to Lin Yi, Jiluo is fully capable of being promoted to Black Flute.

But for Riko, Kiruo suppressed his own upgrade speed.

This is a huge sacrifice in the small town of Oss, which prides itself on the status of cave explorers.

This shows how much Kiruo respects Ryza.

Just because of what Liza said, Kiruo brought Riko to the orphanage and hid there for ten years, and also suppressed himself for ten years.

The once talented young man was radiant and eye-catching.

Now, he has become the leader of the orphanage's cave exploration team, restraining his edge and protecting Riko in his own way. (End of this chapter)
