Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 517 Packaging
How did that crybaby, packaged as a perfect prototype, become the undisputed "strongest" person?

……

Luo Ye suddenly opened his eyes and found himself seemingly in a pool of bright red mud. This sticky red stuff—was it blood?
But there was no smell of blood...

I vaguely remember being affected by Adam's incredibly ugly ultimate attack. Although I managed to block it with the help of the star, the star was severely injured in the process. Then I tried to pull the star back, but...

She was pulled down and then passed out?!
Luo Ye suddenly realized this, and it was an absolute disgrace! How long had it been since she was eight years old! No... she was eight years old now.

To be honest, the battle with the Luo family avatars wasn't particularly outstanding or memorable for Luo Ye, except that it helped him regain a sense of urgency.

The main reason is that the Luo family avatar is also a member of the Luo family, and the boost it gives to Luo Ye in battle is too great. The fighting bloodline boost of the Luo family avatar is not as strong as that of eight-year-old Luo Ye. It sounds a bit funny, but this is the value of the invincible gold that Luo Ye, Luo Gong, drew out with his life's worth of good fortune.

For her, it was no different from the feeling of struggling in the dark world when she was a child.

However, Adam, who is now almost fully grown, is still a bit too oversized for eight-year-old Luo Ye.

Is she... dead now?
It doesn't seem like it.

Luo Ye didn't think there would be any specific afterlife. When you die, you just die. It's probably just a matter of everything going black for a moment.

So it might be a revolving lantern, a dream within the universe.

Am I going through the final death sentence assessment? That would be kind of funny.

In a daze, she saw Logan's transformation of her body from childhood to adulthood.

Even though Logon was born with perfect adaptation to illusion magic and other indicators, he was still not satisfied with that.

The golden cross illusion that granted Luo Ye invincible regenerative abilities was Luo Ye's first illusion, and ironically, it was the only gift her own father had ever given her.

This was to ensure her survival so that they could conduct various experiments on her.

According to Chekhov's Law of the Gun, when a character is given a powerful regenerative ability, he will inevitably be subjected to constant torture and injury.

This is what happened to Luo Ye from the moment he gained regenerative abilities; the pain of modification and experimentation followed one after another.

Some things inexplicably made her stronger, while others inexplicably weakened her for a long time. She was only kept alive by the Golden Cross illusion. Sometimes she watched her body rot away bit by bit, and other times she almost completely transformed into a non-human monster.

Even though she claims to be the most perfect, Logan has a philosophy that contradicts that of a proper researcher: "If you can't kill her, then kill her as much as possible," and "the less she is killed, the more perfect she is."

That beast wasn't really a researcher; he was just a madman who kept finding new ways to pursue a level of power he couldn't achieve.

If the normal members of the Luo family at least pursued their own strength, then Luo Gong, after realizing his own shortcomings, worked hard to improve himself, focusing all his efforts on others.

Really speechless.

Mother……

Luo Ye saw a beautiful woman whose features resembled his own; both he and Luo Xing's tall stature were derived from her. She wasn't from the Luo family; Luo Gong had found her in Dadu.

She has some ability, excellent genes, and most importantly, she is a hopeless romantic, having fallen hopelessly in love with Logon, and is even willing to pay the price for Logon's crazy ideas by becoming a ruthless breeding machine.

He's also a madman who leaves you speechless.

She could give birth to children in large numbers, averaging one pregnancy per month while largely ensuring the health and well-being of the fetuses. Even knowing the fate of these children, she still enjoyed it immensely.

She has absolutely no sense of responsibility that a mother should have.

Paradoxically, she treats every child equally, regardless of their strength, status, or even those who have lost their human form due to Logan's madness, showing them equal and gentle care.

During her pregnancy, she spent all her free time on her children. No one asked her to do this, and even though Logan thought her actions would affect his research, she still did it quietly.

She understood the children's preferences and tried her best to meet them. She even tirelessly taught these children, who might not necessarily grow up, things like basic education and literacy. Even if it was something Logan completely forbade.

It's ironic that such a woman radiates maternal love so fully.

Luo Ye... didn't dislike being with this woman; at least for a long time before he was eight, the sense of security he craved came from her.

Even when I occasionally tell her my secrets, she manages to overcome her love-struck mindset and help keep them from telling Logan or anyone else.

Whether she fulfilled her duties as a mother, and how well she acted as one, is difficult to say. Watching her grow weaker and weaker until death, even with Luogong's advanced labor-inducing and maintenance techniques, allowing her to have a baby every month for an average of ten months, still caused enormous damage to her body.

Luo Ye had tried to persuade her to leave many times, but Luo Gong wouldn't care if she left, since there were plenty of seedbeds like hers.

But the woman refused.

Therefore, when she was dying, although Luo Ye saw her one last time, he still scolded her mercilessly to her face.

The woman listened to his curses and peacefully closed her eyes, which disgusted Luo Ye to the extreme and made him extremely agitated.

The crybaby Luo Ye didn't shed a single tear for that woman's death. From then on, she only cried for herself, and she poured her heart out to others like a woman. Even when she was used and hurt, she was still so fanatical, which was simply incomprehensible.

Until one day when she was eight years old, she was thrown into a dark world and began a torment called training.

Then she encountered a whirlpool.

It must be an illusion, or at least something very similar to an illusion; the vortex clearly knew itself through some channel.

It seemed to have something on its mind, but it wasn't in a hurry. Its frivolous tone was quite annoying. I tried to subdue it with illusion magic, but it subdued me directly.

They said things like, "Kids are really bad," "The gap is too big, but to me they're all about the same," "They're really good-looking, can't they not grow up to be ugly?" "Why don't they just become Death God elementary school students and never grow up? Let me think, you can be called 'Agatha Fisher'."

The terms "Queen of Deduction" and "Female Detective" are completely meaningless. To this day, Luo Ye still hasn't found the origin of these two names.

Then they started giving her some unknown, strange drug.

The illusion magic, which had been developing slowly, began to strengthen rapidly from then on, gradually transforming from a superficial technique into a special ability imprinted on the body. This seemed to inspire Logon later on.

In addition, that vortex was already very powerful.

What was originally a painful struggle for survival in the dark world for Luo Ye has turned into a relaxing and enjoyable trip.

"The strong can do whatever they want. Do you understand that you should think of yourself as the protagonist? Which of those arrogant online novel protagonists doesn't do everything by themselves? If you defeat everyone, then of course the others under your control will listen to you."

"What others think doesn't matter. Those who agree with you are your friends, and those who disagree are your enemies. If your enemies oppose you, it proves that you are right. If your friends oppose you, it means that your friends have become your enemies, and you are still right."

"Cry? What's the use of crying? Crying takes time, and can crying protect the earth... or even yourself? From now on, you'll only be able to cry on other people's faces!"

On the way, although it was clear from his frivolous tone that he was just talking nonsense, Luo Ye still unconsciously kept these things in mind.

Power can cloud judgment, and when Luo Ye encountered problems that troubled her in the future, she would subconsciously act according to this line of thinking.

Indeed, all sorts of problems were easily solved, and she has encountered no issues growing up to this day.

But that illusion...

In the end, he was gone.

Setting aside illusion magic, and relying on his first true friend through direct contact, Luo Ye couldn't deny having thoughts like "I'll be with him for life," "He's practically my second parent," "He's more like my real father than Logon," and "What would I do without him?"

Then, just as it floated away as it found itself, it floated away again.

He felt no burden at all and didn't take her seriously at all.

She realized that she was just one stop on the long journey of that illusion, an ordinary travel companion with no significance beyond that.

Then, Luo Ye recalled the extreme nausea and agitation he had felt when his mother died.

In the end, I found myself just like that foolish, useless woman, clinging to something meaningless...

The trajectory of life is interfered with by all sorts of things, eventually becoming a mess.

Indeed, crying had lost its meaning; the tears shed for that illusion were the last. After she was swept out of the dark world by the black vortex…

She destroyed the Luo family.

In the chaos, Luo Ye only saw the ultimate goal of becoming the "strongest".
