Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 520 Violence is a real nuisance.
"What a passionate love affair!" Jiang Si couldn't help but say after listening to Zheng Fan's story. "But Mr. Devil, every time you and Luo Ye embarked on this spiritual journey, it was when she was eight years old. Don't you have any strange hobbies?"

Lying on the bed in Jiang Si's room, yawning and bored, Zheng Fan couldn't help but blurt out, "What are you saying? I've only ever truly loved one little girl in my life..."

He sat up: "My feelings for Luo Ye are limited to the eight-year-old version of him, nothing more. Even the childhood versions of Hong Yijia and Binary Sister that I've met are just like playing games with kids to me. The eight-year-old Luo Ye feels really different, it's hard to describe that feeling to you..."

“Because at that time she wasn’t quite like you yet, but signs were already showing. The feeling of same-sex repulsion wasn’t strong yet, but that attraction that seemed to originate from within you captured you.” Jiang Si said, framing Zheng Fan in front of her with her hands in a square shape.

Zheng Fan snapped his fingers: "That makes a lot of sense, Dr. Jiang Si."

"I'm not here to be your therapist, Mr. Devil. To be honest, I'm a little jealous. We've just reached a closer connection, taken a step further than before, but then I find out that while you're so close to me, you're also having a passionate first love with someone else, and if you look closely, that first love even predates mine by a long time... This feeling is very complicated."

Jiang Siyi's long sentences made Zheng Fan feel a real sense of pressure.

Hmm, the little zombie's brain has become unexpectedly tricky after it got better.

She's no longer that fool who suffocated herself in broad daylight and said it was a good way to sleep!
"She wasn't my first love," Zheng said, waving his hand in denial.

"But she was indeed the first person you dated in this world, not counting the memories of your past life."

"This is indeed a bit speechless, the timing is correct." For the first time, Zheng Fan felt that he was actually being so honest.

"Forget it, whatever happens, it's all in the past. Miss Luo Ye has grown up, and there's no chance for you two anymore," Jiang Si sighed, then said with a hint of amusement.

It's a perfectly normal statement, but it just sounds a bit strange.

“The present continuous tense is better than the past tense, isn’t it?” Jiang Si said with a gentle smile.

"No, little zombie, your brain is working for a little too long. I'm not used to it."

"Hey Mr. Devil, let me play with your head."

Zheng Fan took off his head and handed it to her: "Here."

Jiang Si grinned foolishly, now that she understood, she grabbed Zheng Fan's head and rolled around on the bed.

It feels like a puppy that has received its favorite toy.

Jiang Ming took the zombie girl away to play. It was because of the zombie girl incident that Jiang Si reunited with Jiang Ming on Jiangwen Street, and then let Jiang Ming feel the love of a sister.

Jiang Ming is now very interested in the tainted creature, the zombie girl. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Si couldn't bear to part with her, she would have been tempted to abduct the zombie girl.

It's worth mentioning that after Jiang Qiang returned, he and his wife began a life of laziness and idleness.

Jiang Qiang hadn't encountered any challenges in a long time. The two battles, from Luoyasong to Adam, unleashed all the energy he had accumulated over the years.

However, he couldn't lie down for long. The renovation of the Ginger Building was still underway, and the members of the Ginger Society still had many things to deal with.

Due to the previous actions of the Luo family, several super gangs, having lost their leaders, unsurprisingly fell into chaos and began internal power struggles and divisions.

If you're lucky, a new talent might emerge to conquer everyone and stabilize the situation; if you're unlucky, a super gang might fall apart.

It's not surprising; the various groups in the violent world are all makeshift operations, and without the ability to use violence to suppress people, power cannot be exercised.

The turmoil is just the beginning. Many small and medium-sized gangs will rise by taking advantage of the "whale fall" of the super gangs, and the resulting impact will inevitably reach Jiang Hui, the leader of this region.

It won't be too difficult, but there will be quite a few troubles at that time.

After all, in a violent world, there are countless idiots who simply feel that it's time to be bored and, even if they're weak, they'd rather annoy the strong and poke at the backsides of big gangs than risk their own lives.

The world of violence is an abstract possibility that exists because everyone is united out of sheer boredom.

Legend has it that there was once a super gang that was suddenly targeted by violent residents who had inexplicably taken control of the territory.

This group of people, caught up in a frenzy, became more fanatical than any religion, and in the end, this super gang was brought down.

While other gangs also played a role in the later stages of the incident, the cause was undeniably ridiculous. This case has become a cautionary tale for countless gangs... whether it can truly be called a "cautionary tale" is debatable.

In short, such minor troubles cannot be ignored in a violent world.

The power of mob violence...

Leviathan certainly has its place; such a symbol might be able to unify and utilize this abstract power. Jiang Qiang initially gained considerable recognition, but... people value the power of love even more.

Leviathan that is not fully assembled is not very useful, and may even conflict with the power of love, leading to weakness.

Moreover, it's clear that Jiang Qiang doesn't actually find the violent world that appealing.

After all, this person is someone who acts on a whim, recklessly wielding dangerous weapons everywhere, even conjuring up disgusting, unpredictable things like fingertip nukes as casually as a fart from an upset stomach. How can anyone properly care for their family living in a world like this?

Jiang Qiang has repeatedly lamented the power of the violent gene. His own purity is not enough to beat the violent gene and change it, not to mention that he has married a murderer, which has made the violent gene even more deeply rooted.

Although he disliked the genes of a violent world, his family was truly the purest form of violent inhabitants.

This also meant that, whether subjectively or objectively, he had no choice but to resort to violent educational methods in raising his children.

Jiang Qiang has always felt deeply sorry about this incident, but fortunately, his children are all growing up healthy.

Jiang Qiang cannot eradicate the violent gene, but he can influence his children with love.

However, Jiang Si, a child who awakened very early and was very similar to him from the beginning, was a source of great worry for him.

In a violent world, love that is prematurely expressed and fragile and unprotected can only be seen as foolish and cowardly.

Differential treatment is not feasible; on the contrary, it will cause other children to have different emotions.

He truly felt he had let Jiang Si down in this regard.

However, Jiang Si is no longer troubled by it.

On New Year's Eve, her father appeared like a savior. His upright figure and unwavering love made Jiang think about many things.

"By the way, do you want this?" Zheng Fan's headless body said, pulling out "Adam".

An embryo the size of a marble, similar to the singularities he usually transforms into, but extremely bright, shining like a lamp the moment it was pulled out.

The complete embodiment of violence is at your fingertips.

Of course, it is very weak now.

If left unattended, it will likely grow back to adulthood quickly in a violent world.

However, the newborn "Adam" is probably not the same person as the original one. Zheng Fan could feel that the consciousness that originally belonged to Adam had long been smashed to pieces by himself and Luo Ye.

This embryo is priceless; possessing it is tantamount to possessing the violent world we live in today.

However, Zheng Fan felt that was the case; he had already witnessed the other party's abilities.

If a real battle were to break out, Zheng Fan, in his incorporeal state deep within the dark world, would truly be helpless against such an existence. They are indeed beings of the same level.

Either they are deep within the dark world, where Zheng Fan has a strange home-field advantage, or they need a second-stage possession target elsewhere.

In both of these situations, Zheng Fan can unleash his full firepower.

Faced with such a Zheng Fan, even the fully realized representative and the embodiment of the world seems insignificant.

"Do you want to be the 'Eve' of a violent world?" Zheng Fan added.

"Hey, no." Jiang refused without even thinking.

"So decisive?" Although he had expected it, Zheng Fan was still surprised by Jiang Si's decisiveness.

"I want to study the power of love; violence is just a hindrance."

The violent logic within you is crying out!

However, Jiang Si still accepted it: "However, the relationship between love and violence can be studied further. Let me handle it for now."

At best, the embodiment of violence can only serve as research material.

"By the way, do you want to go see Xi Cai while you're at it?" Zheng Fan then brought up another matter. It was about Jiang Si's childhood friend who had returned to the Red World and disappeared after the earthquake.

Now might be a good opportunity to visit them.

I've mentioned this before, but back then it was Chinese New Year. Now it's the start of a new year, so perhaps it's indeed time to visit old friends.

Jiang Si nodded: "It's time to go see her. Actually, I'm a little worried about her. Dadu is still dealing with the aftermath of the earthquake, and her whereabouts are being investigated... Dadu is involved in the Luo family's affairs this time. Now that the violent world situation is starting to become turbulent, Dadu will probably do something. Xi Cai, who was originally hiding in seclusion, may also be exposed."

As she spoke, she placed Zheng Fan's head on her own head, performing a strange, seemingly endless, layering motion.

"Let's ask her to finish the dance she didn't complete."
