Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 264 Out of Control Inspiration
The mirror was a little bit unable to withstand the hail of bullets from the cat's gun.

Lin Yilin calmly shook the cat in her hand, and the cat's meowing continued. The bullets fired accurately locked onto every floating fragment, blowing them into even smaller pieces.

The black earthworm resisted the attacks from all directions and opened its bloody mouth to counterattack.

Villon was overwhelmed by this two-pronged attack.

"Isn't it a bit too much for you to bring such a lethal weapon to a wedding?" Villon's figure appeared in a lens and he said breathlessly.

"Maybe a little, but we should prepare for a rainy day. Besides, this is not a lethal weapon. It's just a cat." Lin Yilin touched the cat gun in her hand, and the cat gun rubbed Lin Yilin in return, making a gentle purring sound.

Then Lin Yilin's hands shook again.

"Meow!"

Cat-Cat bullets poured out again and shattered a nearby mirror.

"Damn it." Wei Yong cursed inwardly, and his body was shattered again.

After this shattering, the sound of cats meowing suddenly appeared in this mirror maze. Cat Gun was wondering why the sound was so similar to his own, when he saw a large number of bullets shot back from the mirror fragments.

Lin Yilin calmly arranged the earthworms to form an interception net to block all the bullets that were fired back.

Fragments of the black earthworm fell like rain. Lin Yilin glanced around and immediately noticed that one of her infinite reflections in the mirror maze was behaving abnormally.

She immediately raised her hand, and the earthworm rushed into the mirror and directly tied up Lin Yilin.

This "Lin Yilin" was a little surprised at first after being tied up, but then he also used the black earthworm to break free from the restraints and in turn entangled with Lin Yilin's earthworm.

"A replicant that is nothing new."

As she spoke, Lin Yilin stepped on the earthworm and quickly approached her clone. Lin Yilin's clone reached out and grabbed a lens beside her and threw it at her, but she easily dodged it and raised her hand to cut it with a knife.

The clones kept parrying without any leaks. The earthworms on both sides kept trying to attack each other as they turned around, but were blocked by the earthworms on the other side. The two cats also wrestled with each other. The cat gun without anyone operating it was really just an ordinary cat. It couldn't spit bullets out of its mouth.

As for why there is such a boring restriction, go ask Zheng Fan - if it can be fired without anyone operating it, then wouldn't it just be a magical cat instead of a cat gun?

After several rounds, the clone was able to perfectly respond to all of Lin Yilin's moves.

After Lin Yilin blocked the clone's high whip kick, she suddenly reached into her waist bag with her other hand and threw a handful of powder all over her clone's face.

The clone swallowed the powder head on, showing no fear. She just looked like a human, why would she be afraid of the "lime-covered face" technique?

But the next moment, Lin Yilin pasted several more pieces of paper on her body, and finally kicked her in the abdomen. Lin Yilin did not pursue the victory but took out an old pocket watch and manually adjusted the time to 2:29.

Clone:?

"You don't understand, do you?" Lin Yilin said, took out a candle, lit it with Zheng Fan's lighter and then held the candle.

"After all, you can't copy thoughts, you can only imitate actions. But rituals are like this, and the broken inspiration is fleeting. Even I don't understand too much. Even the same action will lead to different results in different locations and times. So, what is the purpose of this ritual?"

Lin Yilin said this lightly, and the clone suddenly felt that the mirror maze world, which was obviously very bright, suddenly became a little gloomy.

tick-tock-

The time on the pocket watch moves slowly.

"Mirrors are doors that connect different worlds. Performing special rituals at a certain time will allow people to see the scenery of another world and another self. Have you heard of this interesting rumor? Playing with the illusion of the mirror." Lin Yilin continued.

The clone didn't answer, but just looked around nervously.

All the Lin Yilins in the mirror were holding candles, staring coldly at her, the only "Lin Yilin" who didn't fit in.

Suddenly, she noticed that one of the people holding the candle, Lin Yilin, suddenly had a sinister smile on her face.

Ok? !

Each of them made different moves, as if all Lin Yilin came alive.

Isn't this her mirror maze?

"Don't panic, it's just a mirror, a trick of the mirror." Lin Yilin's voice echoed heavily.

Afterwards, each Lin Yilin summoned a large number of black earthworms. Even though their quality was far inferior to Mr. Illusion's, at this moment she created a similar visual effect by stacking them in quantity.

In this situation, the clone's counterattack is no more than an exaggeration to describe it as trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

She was scattered in an instant and disappeared along with the sound of the mirror shattering.

Lin Yilin put away the candles. This dangerous ritual should only be used occasionally when she felt inspired. Otherwise, it would easily bring about bad influences. For example, at this moment, some "Lin Yilin" were already looking at her with strange eyes.

Just accept it as soon as you see fit.

In the struggle between the two cat-and-cat guns, the other cat-and-cat gun also shattered with a sound. After the black torrent, some fragments barely gathered together to form the still embarrassed figure of Weiyong.

He looked at his hands in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe why he only had this much strength.

He couldn't even take down Lin Yilin.

Although Lin Yilin has many tricks, her strength is limited. He was a master who could even deal with the chief of the block. How could he not be able to beat Lin Yilin for a long time and even be forced into a desperate situation! ?
"Haven't you realized it yet? It must have been a long time since you woke up." Lin Yilin slowly approached and said in a cold voice.

Wei Yong looked up at Lin Yilin: "What are you talking about?"

"You are not 'Villon', just a clone. I think you can understand what I mean. You are just an illusion, living in someone's heart, or an illusion in inspiration." Lin Yilin told the truth.

She realized this possibility after hearing what Zhong Zuo said.

During the wedding, she looked up some past information about Villon and Zhong Zuo on Norland Street, most of which were similar to what Hong Yiyi and Zhong Zuo had said.

But as to whether Villon was still alive, Lin Yilin was wary of the question because it was related to the mirror ability illusion that Hong Yiyi had mentioned.

The result is that it did appear, but it appeared at a literary salon, and the list of people can still be found, and it was Zhong Zuo who was on it. But Zhong Zuo himself was not aware of this matter. Such a symbolic ability, can he really ignore it?

Thinking of the mirror ability that had been identified by Mr. Illusion as having no hallucination aura, Lin Yilin still had the answer in her heart.

As Zhong Zuo's wedding farewell poem began, Villon made another appearance, and Lin Yilin confirmed her thoughts.

……

"Weiyong is indeed dead. Although it was ambiguous before, I am too young to be so confused that I can't even tell whether I killed the mirror copy or the real person." Hong Yiyi answered Zheng Fan's question calmly.

"But the illusion is still alive, right? Zhong Zuo himself might not have fully realized it before this, but you should have expected it, sister-in-law."

"What's your name, sister-in-law?" Hong Yiyi was confused.

Hong Yijia raised her little hand: "Me, me, me, because I am a noisy woman!"

"Yijia, this is not a commendatory title."

"I know." Hong Yijia smiled, then continued to hold up her face and look at Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan turned his head and glanced at Hong Yijia, feeling something strange.

Zhong Zuo looked at Hong Yiyi and asked, "Yiyi, have you always known about this?"

"I know, but it's just speculation. I've taken you for related examinations before, and it showed no problems. So I chose to supervise it personally." Hong Yiyi crossed his arms across his chest, and his calm demeanor showed what a chief should be like.

"You have shown signs of mirroring abilities more than once. Each time, it was probably when you were fully immersed in your creation, or when you were dreaming. But you yourself were completely unaware of it, and in fact, the features were not obvious. It was only when I was so close to you that I noticed it."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhong Zuo raised his voice.

"You're already under a lot of pressure, and I don't want to add to it."

A thought suddenly flashed through Zhong Zuo's mind: "You suddenly proposed a reason to get married early..."

"I didn't lie to you. When I said I wanted us to settle down soon, that was what I meant. You haven't gotten over the Villon incident, and the pressure from the extraordinary inspiration combined with it is constantly oppressing you. When we first started dating, I could see that you were looking for someone to rely on. I had no ill feelings towards you, so I chose to give it a try."

As she spoke, Hong Yi looked up at the mirrored sky and met the gazes of her countless reflections.

"But I still can't seem to give you enough sense of security, and I can't be your safe haven. Your pressure is increasing every day, and I can't do anything about it. You are chasing inspiration, I am chasing you, and I am also chasing my own shadow. As a result, I have begun to lose confidence, so..."

"Officially getting married can fill the lack of security and confidence." Zheng Fan added calmly.

Hong Yiyi nodded in affirmation.

Zhong Zuo paused for a long time, let out a long breath, and confided: "Villon is dead, but I can still see him all the time."

"Villon and the illusion should have been destroyed by you at the time, but I have memorized them deeply in my mind. They still exist, not in the world, but omnipresent in my world."

"I thought it was just my own illusion, but now it seems that is not the case."

"The consequences of ordinary people's illusions and 'writers' illusions are naturally different. Words are bridges, and the runaway inspiration is digging out things you don't want and showing them to the outside world." Zheng Fan said slowly.

"The purpose of holding the wedding is good, but the meaning behind the wedding has brought Zhong Zuo's pressure to a critical point. Before he can control his talent, he must be full of anxiety about your future."

Zhong Zuo didn't say anything, but it was tantamount to his agreement at this moment.

Hong Yiyi could only sigh: "It's my shortcoming."

"It's not your problem, it's all my fault."

"It's me. I'm here to protect you."

"It's all because of me that your protection went to waste."

This couple suddenly started to show off their love, which made Hong Yijia narrow her eyes helplessly: What a corny in-laws, they are my sister and brother-in-law, now they are really in trouble.

"Stop." Zheng Fan forcefully inserted himself in and stretched out his hand to push away the two lovers who were getting closer and closer and might really hug each other if they didn't stop.

"My little binary sister is still here... Yeah, it's okay, she's fine, but the situation is very serious right now. I can break this place, but this place is strongly bound to your mind, and I don't know how to control the strength, so I might beat you into an idiot."

"No!" Hong Yiyi blurted out the first time.

"I can handle it. Let me finish reading the farewell poem." Zhong Zuo spoke, tapping the farewell poem he had just rewritten on the table.

He took a deep breath. "I had intended to end it at the wedding. Even if I couldn't suppress my inspiration overnight, I had to at least get Villon and Mirror out of my mind and remove the connection. But they didn't want to die, so they interrupted the process."

"Is it okay to just read it out loud?" Hong Yijia asked.

"The person who tied the bell must untie it. This matter can only be resolved peacefully by Zhong Zuo himself." Hong Yiyi said, "I will watch from the side."

"It's a wedding after all, I don't want to spoil the fun, you guys do your best." As he said that, Zheng Fan lifted the bar in front of everyone, and his bartender clothes changed back to a black windbreaker. He waved to Hong Yijia and said, "Come here, noisy woman, let's go find Lin Yilin."

"Okay~." Hong Yijia replied lightly, and followed Zheng Fan under her sister's speechless gaze.

After the two figures walked out, they miraculously shrank rapidly in the mirror world until they disappeared, leaving only Zhong Zuo and Hong Yiyi.

"I never thought such a disgusting thing would happen to us." Hong Yiyi smiled helplessly and looked at her groom.

Zhong Zuo also smiled, "What Mr. Illusion said is indeed correct."

"Hmm? What did he say?"

"'Premarital medical examination' is probably something that should be done, whether it is physical or mental, whether it is done by the hospital or between us."

"Is this a great writer? He suddenly became sublime."

"Oh, just whining for no reason."
