Chapter 36

### The Capital

In a luxurious courtyard mansion, a commotion suddenly erupted.

Many of the residents of the courtyard got up and hurried to a room.

At this time, it was already 5:30 AM.

The Reincarnation Space opens at midnight and closes at 5 AM.

Seeing that the room was empty, a woman cried out in grief, "Jin'er!"

Her son had not returned to reality in time, indicating that something went wrong during the instance, and he was forever left in that world.

Among the crowd was an elderly man in a wheelchair.

Though appearing to be in his late seventies or eighties and with limited mobility, the old man exuded an extraordinary presence, with a commanding aura that demanded attention.

This was the demeanor of someone who had held a high position for a long time.

At this moment, the old man's expression was a mix of grief and anger.

His most cherished grandson had ventured into the first layer of the Reincarnation Tower that night but had not returned...

The Reincarnation Space closes at 5 AM, and all living reincarnators are forcibly returned to reality at that time.

Since his grandson had not returned, it was clear he had perished.

After a long silence, the old man called out softly, "Old Third!"

A middle-aged man in his early thirties standing behind the old man stepped forward.

"Father, what are your orders?"

This middle-aged man had a fierce presence, with well-built muscles and thick calluses on his knuckles. His sharp eyes were as intimidating as a hawk's.

Furthermore, the middle-aged man constantly exuded a bloodthirsty aura.

He was none other than "One Leaf Autumn," ranked 97th on the global expert list of the Reincarnation Space.

The old man said in a deep voice, "Although the Reincarnation Tower is fraught with danger and deaths are common, no one from our Ye family should die without a clear reason. Use your connections in the Reincarnation Space to find out how Jin'er died!"

"Yes, Father. Don't worry, by tonight, I will have accurate information."

"Good," the old man nodded, then warned, "You must also be careful in there. Our Ye family is not what it once was. Now, we rely on you, so you must take care of your own safety."

"I understand, Father!"

After speaking with the old man, the middle-aged man turned to the crying woman, saying, "Sister-in-law, don't worry. I will find out the truth and give you an explanation."

### Morning

When Chen Ye woke up, he immediately noticed a difference in his perception of the world.

More precisely, his mind was clearer, and his senses were significantly sharper.

The most noticeable changes were in his vision and hearing.

He could see the lingering moisture in the air and hear the traffic noise from the road outside the residential complex clearly.

These heightened senses were unprecedented.

Chen Ye knew these changes were due to his mental strength reaching three digits.

He should have noticed these changes the previous night but had been too exhausted.

In the "World War Z" instance, he had killed zombies for nearly ten hours and suffered from the effects of illness and the side effects of stimulants, leaving him physically and mentally drained.

Although the Reincarnation Space healed all his negative conditions after completing the mission, he was still extremely fatigued.

So, after returning to reality, Chen Ye collapsed onto his bed and slept soundly.

Now, feeling refreshed, Chen Ye noticed the changes in himself.

He got up, washed, and saw that it was already 7:30 AM.

His father hadn't returned, likely working late.

Not worrying about it, Chen Ye grabbed some cash, bought breakfast outside, and headed to school while eating.

Upon arriving at school, Chen Ye overheard numerous students talking behind his back... or rather, discussing his alias "Shura."

"Damn, Shura is amazing! He got another SSS divine rating!"

"Yeah, it's incredible. I heard many people are looking for him. Someone even offered a billion for his strategy."

"He got an SSS rating in the safe zone just the night before last, and last night he did it again in the Reincarnation Tower. That's insane..."

"I've decided, Shura is my new idol!"

"The most impressive part about Shura is the SSS rating he got last night. It's a big deal... 'World War Z' is the first instance in the Reincarnation Tower, the one everyone must pass! It was so dangerous before that many didn't dare try it. But now, with Shura, everything's different. If he shares his strategy, imagine how many strong reincarnators it could create!"

A smart student analyzed.

His analysis drew the agreement of many surrounding students.

"Yeah, if Shura shared his strategy, it would be great."

"I think it would benefit all humanity if Shura shared his strategy."

"I also think Shura should share it for free to help strengthen young people globally. Keeping it secret isn't a good practice."

"Oh, shut up! You're just jealous of Shura's strategy. Why should he let you benefit from his hard work?"

"I agree with sharing the strategy, but only for our country's use..."

"Idiot, if Shura's strategy spreads, you think foreign powers won't get hold of it?"

As Chen Ye listened to these students' discussions, he initially found them interesting.

But as the conversation progressed, he started to frown.
