Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 342 "Losère"

"What's the situation with the overlap?" The Leonardo School District, located near the central core area, was the least affected by the earthquake. But even the smallest impact is a huge change for this region.

The building's unusual shaking and the obvious tremors shattered the sense of security people felt towards the capital and the white world.

"Everything is proceeding according to plan, but... about 43 percent are scattered in other areas of Dadu, and the remaining 57 percent are all concentrated in Jiangwen Street. What happened in Jiangwen Street?" the person in charge of monitoring the changes reported.

Many of the representatives from the various societies present looked at each other blankly, seemingly unaware. It was a scholar from the Jungfrau Society who spoke up: "There is a deceptive illusion that is spreading rampantly under the influence of the earthquake, and the violence level is conservatively estimated to have reached the 'military' level."

"The Army?" The scholar wearing a red, clenched arm badge spoke; this was the Crimson Society. Their research topic was simple and clear: studying the world of red violence, including but not limited to controlling the manageable use of blood-red factors, studying the underlying logic of violence, and assessing various dangers in the capital.

The scholars who first proposed the violence index were pioneers of this society.

Individuals with a violence index equivalent to military level are subject to stricter risk management principles. Once intelligence on such individuals is obtained, it must be given extra attention, and a large-scale crackdown must be launched to ensure their complete annihilation.

As the most crisis-aware and progressive society, unlike the extremely pessimistic mindset of the lower-level societies, and possessing a positive attitude towards disaster response, or rather, a society with strong paranoia, they are the exact opposite of the pattern of studying violence and therefore engaging in violence as many people imagine.

The more they study it, the more they feel disgusted and resistant; the mainstream views of the society are pacifism and pessimism.

They desire world peace, but hold a very negative attitude towards the idea of ​​world peace.

Therefore, it is quite sensitive, and it is said that their society keeps a small notebook recording many objects that pose a clear or potential threat to the greater world.

It is said that the Pure White Society was prominently listed.

Therefore, upon hearing the hallucinations of a violence level of "military", the Crimson Society scholars, who were already on the verge of nervous breakdown due to the hallucinations and the impact of the earthquake, almost jumped up.

"Why are we only finding out about something this important now?!" He stood up and questioned.

This is equivalent to a crazed lamplighter descending into the city and wreaking havoc. Moreover, since the lamplighters' combat strength in Dadu is insufficient, if a military-level illusion appears in Dadu, either a way must be found to throw it out and deal with it, or multiple lamplighters will need to return to deal with it.

Alternatively, a full-scale military strike could be launched by utilizing most of the capital's armed forces.

But now is a critical time. The impact of the earthquake and the handling of the illusionary realm are urgent, and these resources simply cannot be freed up.

This is an extremely dangerous situation!
That's just a baiting illusion. Once it's leaked out on a large scale, it will be like a wildfire that can't be extinguished, and it will keep growing even without the spring breeze!
"We don't have time for this. Concentrating our efforts might delay that illusion a bit. Once we've dealt with the impact, we'll have plenty of ways to handle it." The members of the Pure White Society didn't seem to care about this and forced themselves to remain calm.

"But……"

"There are no buts. This triple impact may have broken through the protective layer we set up back then. There are too many things to worry about. Even if we resolve this impact and that illusionary realm, those illusionary realms that we pushed out before may take this opportunity to set their sights on Dadu again!" the pure white scholar said sternly.

No one refuted this statement.

This was also what they were most worried about at the beginning.

During the parallel world incident, the Academy worked together to build a protective layer, resisting the attack of a terrifying illusion that accompanied that world. They threw the illusion back into the parallel world and shielded it, preventing the other party from finding Dadu again.

The current state of this protective layer is unclear, and the impact of the world's upheaval is significant, so those illusions and dreamscapes may very well return.

Being lazy when you should be solving problems will easily lead to consequences...

"Alright, that's a matter for later. With so much preparation, we should at least deal with the impact of the earthquake first. As for Jiang Wen, we'll send two lamplighters there to ensure stability." Finally, the scholar from the Pure White Society brought the discussion to a close.

Just then, the monitor, who had been listening intently to the argument between these big shots but keeping a close eye on the screen, noticed the abnormal values ​​and changes in the charts. He immediately shouted, "The parameters of the chaotic spacetime have changed in a regular pattern! The illusionary realm has moved!"

……

Zheng Fan and Luo Ye found themselves in complete darkness. As they continued to fall, a gigantic oval object shimmering with blue fluorescence appeared before them.

They only caught a fleeting glimpse before they were already rushing toward that thing.

"Repeat what we're supposed to do?" Luo Ye noticed that Zheng Fan was staring at the fragments that appeared and disappeared around him. Even though the most crucial thing was right in front of him, he couldn't contain his curiosity and seemed to be making a fuss over nothing. Luo Ye asked with some concern.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fan withdrew his gaze: "Find Binary Sister, or find Ya Gui."

“Okay.” Luo Ye nodded.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them plunged directly into the giant object.

...The illusory world may merge with the chaotic spacetime, since neither of them is a world in the strict sense, and there is a high probability that a strange fusion will occur in this process.

Niu Qianliu had given Zheng Fan and Luo Ye this warning.

Under these circumstances, clarifying the situation in the illusionary realm and finding the person you are looking for is an extremely difficult task.

However, Luo Ye knew her luck had always been good. Ever since she first fought her way out of the dark world, she had been blessed with good fortune, as if her childhood experiences had accumulated and carried away most of her life's misfortunes. Since then, her luck had reached its peak; she always won the lottery, everything went smoothly, and she even encountered Lin Yilin and others…

Many years later, he encountered Zheng Fan.

Try not to think about these upsetting things.

When Luo Ye met Luo Sewei, he was certain that as long as he didn't stay with Zheng Fan, luck would be on his side.

The woman who appeared before Luo Ye was none other than Losevie Bilott, the one who started Agui's madness.

She was indeed stunningly beautiful, only slightly less so than herself and Lin Yilin in Luo Ye's eyes.

She lay peacefully on a spacious bed, her hands clasped serenely, holding a bouquet of flowers against her abdomen. She seemed already dead…

No, she should indeed be dead.

Oh no!

As Luo Ye approached, she suddenly heard the sound of turning pages. Turning her head, she saw another Luo Sewei sitting in a rocking chair next to her, a book on her lap. With a slight movement of her body, the rocking chair swayed back and forth.

"Ah, hello, I didn't see any guests come in." Lothaway looked up and glanced at Lo Ye with some surprise.

"I shouldn't be considered a guest. Are you hallucinating? Or is she hallucinating?" Luo Ye looked at Losevie in front of him, then at the person on the bed, and asked.

"Well, it's probably hard to tell us apart. I don't really understand either. When they were doing things to me when I was little, I didn't really understand either." Lorraine gave a wry smile and tilted her head.

"When you were a child, did they do something to you? What did the Bilot family do to you?" Luo Ye tried to find clues, while also carefully observing his surroundings, wary of traps and the "war wolves" that might appear at any time.

Lothaway blinked her beautiful eyes, not resisting answering Luo Ye's question, but rather showing a rather positive attitude towards having someone to talk to: "Do you know about parallel worlds?"

Luo Ye was surprised that this matter had been brought up: "It happened a long time ago. It's become taboo outside."

"Then I have something somewhat unbelievable to tell you. I am Losevie from a parallel world." Losevie gently pressed her hand to her chest, a serene smile on her face as she spoke.

"..."

Do you think I'm joking?

"No, are you a hallucination from a parallel world?" Luo Ye wasn't very surprised, but immediately started to make connections.

“No, I’m not that powerful. I was just accidentally captured by Bilot during that incident. After witnessing the power of that illusion from the parallel world, the family members had more ideas.” Lothaway shook her head and then explained in detail.

"Thus, the research and modification of us began."

"'Parallel worlds' are, after all, powers originating from the dark world. Their highest hope was that I could open a secret passage to parallel worlds for them, or at the very least, that two of me could produce a special reaction. But the result was that one of us died, and the other became an illusion." Lothaway looked at herself on the bed, her eyes slightly lowered.

Hearing this, Luo Ye couldn't help but say, "Wait a minute, weren't you married off to the Jacob family halfway through? And your resume shows that for a long time you lived the life of an outsider member who no one cared about, which is how you met Ya Gui..."

“Because the original Lothaway was indeed like that, although the Lothaway's life in the parallel world is different. I don’t have my Agui,” Lothaway said. “The Lothaway here doesn’t even know she’s being researched and modified, and they haven’t interfered too much to maintain synchronization. As for getting married, that’s…”

"The research failed, and the original Rosevie died. But I disguised myself very well and continued to exist under the guise of a visitor from a parallel world. They believed that the parallel world version of me died because of the failure, but the hallucinations I experienced were undeniable. Out of a desire to make use of what I had, they sent this bomb, me, to Jacob's house."

"What happened to the honeymoon period we were promised..." Luo Ye complained. The marriage was supposed to be a cooperative honeymoon between the two families. Although she wasn't unaware of the families' intentions.

These are truly aristocratic families; each and every one of them is incredibly cunning.

“I did a lot for them, including causing trouble for the Jacob family when the two families started their open and covert struggle. Of course, things were exposed. At that time, apart from having some tricks up my sleeve, I wasn’t much different from an ordinary person, and I didn’t realize our true nature. So I was purged and died, in front of Agui.” Lothaway calmly recounted her death.

“The illusion called ‘Lossway’ will only awaken when death places us in a truly equal position.”
