Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 500 The Luo Family

Despite being riddled with bullet holes, Jiang Hui walked over as if nothing had happened and asked Luo Ye, "Are you from the Luo family?"

I think I just heard the term "Luo family".

Luo Ye said, "Yes."

Jiang Hui frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"Will this make things difficult for you?" Luo Ye asked upon seeing this.

"That's not quite right. It's just that the Luo family has been silent for a long time. Rumors even say that they have been completely wiped out. So what does it mean that they have suddenly reappeared this time?" Jiang Hui said.

“Although people outside keep saying that the Luo family is extinct, they have been moving back and forth between the violent world and the capital, spreading out and becoming smaller and smaller. Not to mention other places, there are probably countless people hiding in the old house alone,” Luo Ye explained. “As for why they suddenly jumped out, they probably found some opportunity to turn things around.”

She spoke rather vaguely.

But then again, the Luo family is a family in a violent world, and there is no glory to speak of. Even if the family is destroyed, most people in the family will only worry that there is one less way to become stronger.

For the Luo family, violence and power are absolute.

It just so happens that the Luo family members need bloodline connection to improve themselves. The struggle between bloodlines, regardless of victory or defeat, can bring a continuous stream of improvement.

The loss of family members means the loss of a stable source of powerful punching bags. The Luo family was born for battle.

The reason the Luo family is stirring up trouble again is undoubtedly because they see an opportunity to take revenge on Dadu and a path to becoming stronger.

"If he's from the Luo family, it's not surprising that someone who seems like an unknown person could have such combat skills," Jiang Hui remarked.

Zheng Fan picked up the phone and spoke with Jiang Hui: "Is the Luo family famous in the world of violence?"

“They used to be very famous, after all, they were once a dominant force. Although they also look human, they are completely different species from us. Like dragons in fantasy works, they stand out from the crowd and are naturally extraordinary. Every adult member of the Luo family has formidable fighting power,” Jiang Hui said.

"However, I had never seen a member of the Luo family before today. My dad said he had seen one when he was young and even beat one of them."

"Even such a powerful family was eventually destroyed." Zheng Fan glanced at Luo Ye.

Luo Ye curled his lip: "It's just self-destruction. Just like how constantly using addictive drugs leads to death in the pursuit of euphoria, like how my family used to do, we will inevitably perish in the pursuit of power. In the end, what will be left behind..."

She paused before continuing in a deep voice, "It will only be a powerful monster that has nothing to do with any family or bloodline."

Looking at Luo Ye's expression, Jiang Hui vaguely saw Jiang Si from the past.

People in a purely violent world who know the story of the Luo family will only admire the family's ruthlessness and power, and may even feel envious, but they will never feel moved by these things.

Absolute power is proof of everything, and it should be the truth in a world of violence, no, it should be everywhere.

Knowing they are not strong enough, they need to band together for warmth; this is the consensus behind the existence of countless groups and gangs in the violent world.

Jiang Si asked blankly, "So you're willing to give up everything else just to become stronger? No one can beat Dad, but Dad didn't abandon us, did he?"

That silly girl is one thing, but would even a child from the Luo family have such thoughts?
Jiang Hui shook his head, not thinking too much about other people's affairs: "This shouldn't be the last batch of Luo family assassins, right? To be on the safe side, let's hurry up."

“No, their target isn’t entirely me.” Luo Ye looked up at Jiang Hui, interrupting him.

"This guy's main target is clearly you." She said as she walked over to the Luo family member on the ground, whose necklace was cowering and trembling.

It didn't dare to move at all. Although it seemed like it could run away now that its original owner was dead, the scene didn't look like it would be so easy to escape...

Luo Ye reached out, grabbed it, picked it up, and swallowed it whole: "Although it's another useless ability, I'll use it for now."

Jiang Hui sighed and gestured for his subordinates to pack up the body and take it away: "That's why we need to speed things up even more."

The fact that the super gang behind them was likely the Luo family was a huge headache for him.

I need to contact my family first.

Luo Ye chewed for a moment, then spat out the illusion of the necklace, which turned into a ring on his hand: "The protective ability is barely enough to be considered non-existent."

"This person isn't lacking in character, why doesn't he find a better illusion?" Zheng Fan couldn't help but remark.

Luo Ye said helplessly, "Of course, it's because good illusions are hard to find. Don't forget that the prerequisite for someone to experience an illusion is a high degree of compatibility. On top of that, most illusions have inexplicable abilities. Most family members can only use one illusion at a time, so many times they simply don't have a choice." If they had a wheelchair, wouldn't they want one?
The Luo family are a bunch of hardcore perfectionists; if they had wheelchairs, who would be the expert performer? Isn't there just no other way?
……

Jiang Si could easily return to the violent world from Dadu now. She could use the spiritual essence combined with the red thread to create a model and then use the logic of the violent world to cross the red thread and go home.

She brought the zombie girl back with her. After all, it was Chinese New Year, and they had just reunited. She didn't want to just leave the zombie girl in the bar like that.

As expected, they arrived safely in the violent world. The zombie girl curiously hopped and skipped around Jiang Si.

Jiang Si took a deep breath of the hometown air that made her feel both comfortable and uncomfortable.

It smells both bad and good.

Jiang Si randomly picked a nearby community to grab some snacks to fill their stomachs. She squatted by the roadside and ate stir-fried rice noodles with Zombie Girl, adding a lot of spice.

I was severely tormented by Zheng Fan back then, but now I'm starting to appreciate how spicy food is actually a good thing.

However, the zombie girl still didn't like cooked food after taking a few bites, so Jiang Si had to go fishing by the roadside to kill someone and then feed her.

"Didn't my brother say he was coming to pick me up? Why isn't he here yet? Maybe I should just go back by myself without waiting for him." Jiang Si had finished eating her rice noodles but still hadn't seen her brother and his group of animal-masked people.

"Roar~." The zombie girl looked up and shouted happily.

Jiang Si rubbed her chin to comfort her, and as she looked around, she suddenly saw a woman wearing a white off-shoulder top and a dark blue floral print skirt carrying a corpse as she passed by.

Disposing of bodies is as common as throwing away garbage in a violent world.

but……

She saw that the corpse had an animal mask hanging on its hand.

Jiang Si said to the zombie girl, "You just eat here. If anyone comes to bother you, just bite them. Don't run around."

After the zombie girl, focused on eating, gave a sullen reply, Jiang Si got up and followed the woman.

The woman casually tossed the corpse aside: "What a nuisance. Should I take this opportunity to run away? At least the violent world is a one-to-one replica of the capital, but they just randomly throw me in a direction and expect me to go find someone? What the hell?!"

She held a staff-like object that shimmered with blue starlight in her hand, seriously considering the option of running away.

I feel like blindly following the rest of my family and doing the same thing all the time still won't lead to anything.

That perverted exhibitionist will definitely slap them to death after he succeeds, and even if her family succeeds in the end, she won't get a chance to evolve in the end.

She didn't believe that the "Luo" family would really accept someone like her with the surname "Luo".

Suddenly, she paused, and a faint red light flickered around her before being quickly severed by a blue light.

"Who?"

"I should be asking you, who are you?" Seeing that her attempts to control herself had failed, Jiang Si walked out confidently and leaned against a tree.

The woman turned around in confusion, but when she saw Jiang Si, she suddenly understood: "You are Jiang Si?"

Jiang Si was taken aback and did not reply.

The woman sighed, raised her staff, and several blue starlight beams flashed around her. A pale blue membrane enveloped these starlight beams, like a pulsating cell.

"My name is Luo Xingxing, and I'm here to arrest you. Blame your own background."

After a brief standoff between Jiang Si and Luo Xingxing, Luo Xingxing suddenly waved her staff, and all the surrounding star cells rushed towards Jiang Si, sending out beams of starlight that flew towards her along the way.

Jiang Si responded by waving his hand, sending out a dense array of red lines that shredded the flying starlight. However, the star cells spontaneously dodged the passing red lines, and in the end, only a few were managed to be destroyed before they could only move to dodge subsequent attacks.

Luo Xingxing watched the red line spread before her eyes and carefully backed away.

A crimson mist rose from the red line, and Luo Xingxing smelled a faint, plant-like fragrance. She immediately held her breath, not daring to smell it any longer.

Something's not right. Wasn't Jiang Si supposed to be the easiest to deal with among Jiang Hui's kids?
This starting move doesn't look like something a complete noob would make!
