Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 220 She...

The human-faced dog admitted that he had spoken a little loudly just now.

Whatever the toast in front of it can order is still within its scope of understanding. It is normal for a vivid and moving fantasy creature to have some signature abilities. The strange mind control ability looks powerful, but it is just a first sight kill.

But what was this just now?
Space Slash? Space Bite?
It’s bad enough that a piece of toast can bite a person, but can you bite through space?
As an animal-type anthropomorphic illusion, the human-faced dog has a weak combat capability but never underestimates itself because it has many practical skills that allow it to thrive, not to mention that its foresight is already strong enough to be called powerful. It does not think that it is much worse than other illusions, it is just a difference in development path.

But, but...

Seeing a fantasy creature Toast display such power on its face, the human-faced dog's faith in Taoism was shaken.

Even a piece of toast can be "bitten with space", it seems that my level is totally not good enough...

It crawled out of the trash can, and Toast noticed the movement behind him and turned around to look at it.

The two looked at each other under the burning flames, although the human-faced dog was not sure whether this eyeless creature was really looking at him.

The firelight illuminated the sides of the two people, and an absurd sense of fatalism arose spontaneously.

Click.

Members of the Black Sparrow Society clapped softly on the side, and some even took photos to record the scene.

"I surrender."

"Ouch?"

……

Lin Yilin then brought Lu Chongming out from the side, and Lu Chongming held his buttocks tighter with his hands.

Shit, this thing is not limited to ordinary biting, it can chew up the entire space with one mouth. What the hell is this? It's really awesome!

Lu Chongming is now just feeling the recollection of what happened when he and Toast were playing around before. Fortunately, he had been very restrained, and fortunately, Toast was also very restrained.

After declaring his surrender, the human-faced dog was pinned to the ground by the members of the Black Sparrow Society.

"I have surrendered! You are abusing the prisoners! This is inhumane!"

"Calm down, buddy. We are going to sterilize you. This will do a lot of good for a stray dog like you!"

"Bullshit! I'm an illusion! Not a stray dog! Woof! Woof!"

"You are attached to a stray dog, so you are a stray dog!"

After Lin Yilin approached, these people finally calmed down, but the anesthetic had already been injected. The human-faced dog was lying on the ground. The human face that should have looked very strange now looked desperate, with tears hanging from the corners of its eyes.

"Help."

"Don't worry, I never wanted to kill you. I'm very interested in your abilities." Lin Yilin said.

The human-faced dog raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yilin, and his originally fuzzy consciousness suddenly became alert again.

It has an impression of this person.

Although most of the information is not special, based on its multi-faceted confirmation, it is speculated that this person is the center of the second invisible intelligence network!

Xixi Keke’s real hidden boss, it turns out that the person who wants to catch him this time is Lin Yilin.

If I had known earlier...it wouldn't have run away.

Of course this is impossible, but it doesn't stop it from thinking about it. The human-faced dog knows that although its ability is not good for fighting, it is very versatile. If it falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, they will definitely make good use of it, and maybe it can get some benefits.

Toast was wagging his tail at Zheng Fan to show off his achievements. His little paws were stepping on the headless body of the homeless man. It looked like he was working hard to hold his head high and puff out his chest for his neckless body.

"You did a good job. I'll give you some more desiccant when I get back."

"Ouch!"

The originally proud Toast jumped up as if he had been electrocuted, and surrounded Zheng to persuade him, saying that he was very satisfied with his current improvement and that he should allocate more resources to other brothers.

The human-faced dog looked at Toast's actions and became puzzled. Its two ears subconsciously stood up to activate its detection ability.

Suddenly, the world in front of it was dyed with endless black, and all the sounds and colors around it were stripped away, leaving only the endless vortex of black fluid flowing...

The "vortex" glanced sideways slightly. It could sense a hint of smile from the other party: "Don't look around."

boom!
The abnormal perspective was broken, and the human-faced dog fell to the ground with a howl, panting with its tongue hanging out, and coughing up some blood.

Lin Yilin knew at a glance that it was courting death.

Zheng Fan came over holding a piece of toast.

The human-faced dog looked carefully and caught a glimpse of Zheng Fan's normal human form. The contact just now seemed to allow it to see Zheng Fan's surface normally.

But it probably can never forget the true face of this existence.

What kind of place is this, Xixikoko? Why can such humans and such illusions be paired together?

If these two work together, can they destroy the world?
"I have something to ask you." Lin Yilin said.

"Tell everything you know." The human-faced dog has adjusted his mentality very well. The principle of joining the fight if you can't win is really easy to understand.

"Thousand Years of Huazhu, why did she commit suicide!" At this point, Lu Chongming could no longer hold back and stood up to ask.

The human-faced dog looked at him and asked, "Is this the reason you came to arrest me?"

Lin Yilin nodded: "Yes."

The human-faced dog sighed: "As expected, I knew it would develop like this."

Lu Chongming took a few steps closer: "It really is related to you, right?"

"It's hard for me to say. Although I have acquired a highly human-like mindset during my growth, I still cannot understand the complex human mentality. I still cannot understand the final choice made by Huazhu Qiansui, a human."

"What do you mean? Explain it clearly, or tell me directly whether you have influenced her." Lu Chongming frowned.

"If you're asking that, then my answer is yes."

Lu Chongming clenched his fists: "Asshole!" "But, it was she who asked me to influence her."

"Huh?" Lu Chongming's anger that had just risen up disappeared completely.

"Her two classmates persuaded her to join me. After I gave her the fantasy factor, I would provide free help to first-timers as usual. But the embarrassing thing is that I can't do anything about her wish."

Lin Yilin: "She wants to get treatment."

The human-faced dog nodded: "Yes. But I can't do it. I don't have the ability, and none of the information I know can help. Most of the people who come to me are just greedy for some money. This is the first time I have encountered such a wish. I said I could change it and try to prolong her life and relieve her pain after getting some money, but she didn't answer. Then she answered a phone call and left... Oh, I remember your voice, you are the one who called her."

As he spoke, the human-faced dog looked at Lu Chongming.

Lu Chongming lowered his eyes and said, "She was working the night shift that day, and I wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her for her help when I first joined the company."

That was the last thing they saw.

"But that same night, she came back to me and asked me to take her strength away for free."

"what?"

"Strong. The girl's strength is one of the few shining points in human beings that I have felt. But unfortunately, in her case, this shining point became the opportunity for her to continue and suffer. She cried and wanted me to take it away. To be more precise, she wanted me to give her a reason, a reason to be free. This is not difficult. As an illusion of connection, this kind of mental influence is easy."

"How is it possible? Did I say something wrong at that time? Why did she suddenly..." Lu Chongming was shaken after hearing this.

That night, the two met for dinner at a cheap restaurant.

While eating and drinking simple side dishes and a few bottles of wine, Lu Chongming's emotions fluctuated under Hua Zhu Qiansui's gentle words, and he told some of his own stories.

Huazhu Qiansui also shared some of her own experiences. Her family is not well off, but she is the hope of her family. In Dadu, using the university platform of the school district to change the future is one of the few decent ways for ordinary people. The family has placed a lot of hopes on her. The money for college has made her family very difficult. She wants to obtain the resident status of the White City District in the future, take her family to the White City District, and even more wants to join a society, which will have a high salary and give back to her family.

The two of them looked forward to the future and encouraged each other at the simple food stall.

They are all people struggling in the mire, but none of them have been defeated.

no……

"It's not your problem." The human-faced dog said, "It's not surprising that she would choose to end her life at any time in her situation. Sometimes, an opportunity that others cannot understand may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."

"You knew that letting a student commit suicide might increase your risk, but you still helped her," said Lin Yilin.

The dog-faced man said, "Of course I have to fulfill the promises I made. Besides, I am still growing and learning. Humans who are obsessed with profit are nutrient that you don't need to feel sorry for, and humans like her are teaching materials that are worth reading carefully. I think it's worth it."

"Do you have any clues about the reason why she suddenly chose to commit suicide?"

"If it were you, you would already know this." The human-faced dog said to Lin Yilin.

……

In the library of Rafael Lac University, a girl sat in a corner buried in books, but she had no intention of studying at all and was in a daze.

Lin Yilin took a book and sat in the seat opposite the girl.

"Is that Reiko Matsukawa?"

The girl shuddered and looked up at the other person.

"Why didn't you go back to the dormitory yesterday?"

"I don't know..." Lingzi said subconsciously. She looked like an honest child, but she had dark circles under her eyes and looked listless.

"You returned to the dormitory earlier than the other two roommates, and saw the body of classmate Huazhu Qiansui who committed suicide, right? And you chose not to tell the police or call the police immediately, but just ran away."

Lingzi clenched her hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "It's not me... it's me... it's all me..."

"I didn't find Huazhu Qiansui's diagnosis report at her location. I'll keep it in your hands."

The girl nodded silently.

"You and Huazhu Qiansui are from the same gray area. You have known each other from the beginning, and you may even have been childhood friends with a good relationship." Lin Yilin said.

Reiko Matsukawa sobbed softly, her tears dripping onto the book.

She suppressed her anger and said, "I just want to help her..."

Lin Yilin watched quietly.

"It's a terminal illness, and she has to study and work overtime every day... Why didn't you tell her family about this? I found out about her medical condition and went to see her. She refused to do it, so I told her I wanted to contact her parents. She got anxious and had a quarrel with me... Then, then..."

Matsukawa Reiko covered her face.

Later, her emotions were close to collapse. Lin Yilin comforted her in time and let the girl go back to rest.

This was indeed not her problem, or rather, her good intentions did not bring good results, but instead became the opportunity for Huazhu Qiansui's final persistence to collapse.

Lin Yilin sat in her seat, and Mosuo read a book in his hand.

Lu Chongming walked out silently from behind the bookshelf next to him and sat down heavily at the corner of the long table.

"That's all. A sad story. The strong girl was overwhelmed by the kindness of her friends. She had already walked a long way for her family despite the pain, and she knew she could not walk to the other side. She lived frugally and worked part-time to save a lot of money, which she left for her family after she left. She wanted to commit suicide many times a long time ago, but she gave up very bravely. It's not that she didn't have the courage to commit suicide, but she didn't choose to let go because she was too courageous. If she told her family, her persistence would be in vain. Her family would go bankrupt to save her, even if it was impossible. She knew it, so she would not tell her family to let them add more burdens. She had long been prepared to die silently in a corner, and didn't want her death to cause trouble to others."

Lin Yilin said: "She did commit suicide. She was affected by hallucinations. This is the final result I provide you. If you are still very angry, I don't mind leaving the human-faced dog to you. That's it."

After saying that, Lin Yilin stood up and left.

The sunlight shone through the window onto the table, and crawled along the shadow to Lu Chongming's hand which was placed on the table.

Lu Chongming's eyes were red. He sat quietly, unable to utter a word.

"Xiao Lu, please don't give up. There are people waiting for you at home, so make sure you make it to the other side. If I can't hold on any longer, then I'll leave my part to you."

That night, the girl's joking encouragement lingered in my ears.

After a long time, Lu Chongming slowly stood up, wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and walked away.

Okay, time to get on with the journey.
