Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 14 A World of Violence

Zheng Fan was passing by when a gangster swung a stick at him. He put his hands in his pockets and ignored it. The iron stick went through his body and hit a policeman.

Similar situations continue to occur.

The world shrouded in red light seemed to be on fire.

The carnival of violence, like the blood they shed, dyed the world red.

Blood is fuel, violence is eternal.

Seeing this, Zheng Fan was eager to try it out and also wanted to twist a few noisy heads to have fun.

But there is no way.

There's a super cool beating party going on here that's open to anyone and everyone, including potential violent freaks. Guess who isn't invited?

Of course it was one on the side of the road… a lonely little illusion.

Oh, I really should have asked Binary Girl to come along.

You can see some people on the road wearing special clothes with red and white colors. The clothes themselves may be just some common clothes, but the colors are a little special.

Lin Yilin once said that beings wearing red and white clothing are residents of the violent world.

In fact, their clothes were originally white and bleached very clean.

The red color is the blood that they were soaked in violence.

By analogy, the more and darker the red, the more powerful it is.

The vegetable individuals look no different from ordinary people, but the ones with more red on their bodies are really amazing, just like Superman, or at least like Captain America in the movie.

He landed in the crowd and started fighting right away. The blood splattered so much that Zheng Fan clapped his hands beside him.

However, these violent residents are not united in their opposition.

They do not distinguish between friend and foe. In this world, it seems that anything that moves will become their target, including fellow residents.

It's really fun to watch.

Why did I travel through time and space and become a strange creature from the black world?

I feel like the painting style here suits me.

Zheng Fan couldn't help but think.

But the excitement came and went quickly, and when he thought about not being able to join in, everything in front of him became dull. It was like every time he went to find those heavy B-grade movies, they always looked good at first, but when he thought about the fact that he was not the one doing the action, and it was just a movie, he immediately became bored.

He came to the Sad and Laughing Road, a place he often visited when wandering. Most of the eyewitness clues about him that Lin Yilin collected in the morning also came from here.

This road connects Xiding Road and Dongding Road where Zero One Office is located. It is a wide avenue and is relatively easy to walk on.

There seems to be a violent activity going on here.

……

boom!
A girl in a sailor uniform dyed completely red had a bullet piercing her abdomen.

She was covered in wounds, her dark pupils widened, her body swayed, and her shoulder-length ponytail trembled. She was bleeding abnormally and splashed all over the streets around her. She swayed slightly but did not fall down.

"Jiang Si, we finally caught you. It's time to end the fun. Come back with us." The person who fired the gun was a blond man with a slicked-back hair. He was wearing a red and white suit. He was surrounded by a large number of subordinates wearing various animal masks.

"Heh, I haven't had enough fun yet. It's still early." The girl called Jiang Si sneered, her hands hanging at her sides, with red silk threads hanging on her arms, mixed with her blood.

The blond man with a slicked-back hair didn't say much when he heard this, but raised his chin slightly. The people around him all surrounded Jiang Si.

"It is indeed surprising that you have the ability to become a 'murderer', but it is still a long way to go before you mature. You are still too immature now. Look at you, you are already at the end of your strength." The man said with some disdain.

Swish!
Jiang Si threw the red silk thread around, leaving traces on the ground. Those who couldn't dodge in time were scratched and bleeding.

The man remained expressionless and shot at Jiang Si who was resisting.

He had no energy to dodge or block. Several bloody holes appeared on Jiang Si's body again. His pale skin was stained with blood and blood kept flowing out of his mouth.

She was gasping for breath, breathing in the hot air, and her consciousness gradually became blurred.

But she forced herself to stay alert, taking in the situation around her and looking for a chance to escape.

"Hmm...it's black? So bold at such a young age? Even lace? Hiss, people in the violent world are really violent." Then a voice suddenly drowned out all the noise around her and reached her ears.

She glanced to the side and found a strange man with black curly hair and gray eyes, bending his upper body with amazing flexibility to peek under her skirt... He was dressed in black, which was out of place in this violent world.

He is... ?
Zheng Fan turned his body back to normal, and quickly shifted his attention away from the girl in danger: "If she dies, it will be convenient for others to take advantage of her. It's a good deal for them."

Then prepare to leave as if taking a walk.

"...What are you doing?" Jiang Si suddenly spoke, causing Zheng Fan to stop.

She watched the being in front of her slowly turn his head, with a strange smile on his face and joy in his eyes: "You - are talking to me?"

Not far away, the blond man suddenly looked at Jiang Si as if her attention was attracted by something, but when he looked in the direction of her sight, there was nothing.

Did near-death experience cause brain problems?
That's unlikely, could it be...

The possibility flashed through the man's mind, and his eyes widened immediately: "Don't answer!"

boom!
Another gunshot echoed, and the man quickly dodged and looked for cover. Another group of gangs rushed out from the street, but they were not dressed in red and white, but from real gangs.

The gang that suddenly broke in was quite powerful, and most importantly, each of them was armed with a gun.

A gang that can achieve this level must have a good financial background.

Damn it, at this time!
The gang fired directly at this side, and the man ordered his subordinates to ignore Jiang Si and fight back in self-defense. It can be seen that his forces are actually stronger, and the characteristics of violent residents are fully revealed, but he was caught off guard by the sudden killing, causing chaos in the scene.

Before Jiang Si could react, a stick suddenly hit her on the back of the head.

Suddenly, the world before her eyes spun, her vision became completely blurred, and finally her consciousness sank into darkness.

……

A sharp pain behind the head, as if the brain was torn apart, awakened Jiang Si.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself in a shabby office building.

The overturned and messed-up desks and chairs were piled up around.

what happened……

A hand suddenly grabbed her ponytail and lifted her head up. The man's face that came into view was not anyone she had seen before. His Nordic face with stubble looked quite irritable.

"It's her? Are you sure?" the big man asked in a rough voice.

The other person in the room responded, "Yes, it's her. The Mellen family has put a bounty on her head. If she survives, the amount will be doubled. I've just confirmed it several times. Weren't you listening?"

The big man let go and chuckled, "Isn't this insurance? We can get orders from big families in the surrounding area and even get some connections. We're making a lot of money."

"Be calm before doing big things, and control yourself in a violent world, Drew," someone reminded.

"In this world, without indulgence, true violence cannot be released." Drew had a different opinion, but without much rebuttal, reason prevailed.

"When the 30th is over, we will take her to contact the Mellen family. Now keep this money bag safe. There are more people who want her than we thought, so cheer up."

Listening to their conversation, Jiang Si lowered his head and remained silent.

She was processing her thoughts…

A big face suddenly moved horizontally into her sight.

"Ah!" She was startled.

The people in the room immediately looked at her.

"What's wrong? Is the little princess sleepy?" Someone couldn't help but teasing her when he saw her embarrassed look.

Jiang Si didn't say anything, but looked in shock at the smiling man in black who shortened his snake-like long neck and sat on a pile of office desks and chairs right in front of her.

"Your name is 'Jiang Si', right? Zombie? Never mind, we already have binary, so a small zombie will do." Zheng Fan raised his chin slightly and greeted him.

Jiang Si didn't say anything and held his breath.

At this moment, she realized that she might have encountered something.

She was negligent, very negligent!
In a tense state, I called for this thing...

Darker than red, red to the point of being black, the ultimate black horror.

No one else around her could see it, as if she was the only one who could see and hear it - an illusion.
