Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 535 Achievements
Her dancing skills were still lacking, and even though Jiang Si tried to capitalize on the momentum, she still couldn't get a kiss from Zheng Fan.

Zheng, on the contrary, had good intentions; he even took off his own head halfway through to tease her. Unfortunately, she couldn't get her hands on that head she so desperately wanted.

Finally, when Zheng Fan pinned her to the ground, she kissed him out of pity.

However, Jiang Si was not discouraged. Although the beach was in chaos because of the two of them—because Zheng Fan was in a hallucination, it was mainly Jiang Si—the seawater was about to overflow.

Zheng carried Jiang Si away from the sea and found an abandoned stone pier. He then conjured a towel to wipe the water and sand off her body.

Jiang Si, who was acting crazy and almost like a "love demon" when she was dancing with Zheng Fan, became as quiet as a cat that had just been subdued by General Shui when she was sitting obediently in Zheng Fan's arms being wiped.

She raised her hand, and suddenly neat adhesive lines appeared on her fair fingers, separating several sheets of paper. She folded them into several paper butterflies, then fluttered her wings and flew away.

“You’ve been raising other illusions without my permission.” Zheng Fan drilled her temple with a little more force.

Jiang Si laughed and said, "Xi Cai is no longer here. Now she's just 'paper'. Even if she hasn't forgotten her past, once she gave up her identity as Xi Cai, she couldn't maintain this human body and completely collapsed."

"The anthropomorphic hallucination without a physical form has reverted to its original muddled state. Even if there are memories, those memories seem to be compressed and obscured, unable to be expressed."

“It’s like a regression of consciousness,” Zheng Fan said. “A humanoid illusion without a physical form, no matter how much it possessed in the past, will only follow its initial illusory instincts like a fool. Only by finding a new physical form can it be reborn… What do you plan to do?”

"It hasn't completely degenerated into nothingness; at least it's close to me now." Jiang Siwen looked gently at the last paper butterfly that remained on her fingertip.

"Maybe it's just instinctively targeting you and wants your body." Zheng Fan said, "Don't I know what hallucinations are all about?"

"Haha, maybe not." Jiang Si couldn't help but chuckle, then added, "But isn't this a great opportunity for research?"

"Ok?"

"I felt the power of love."

“I can also feel the power of love within you, but this power is different from others I’ve felt in the past,” Zheng Fan said.

Zheng Fan's basic ability is that he can basically copy everything his host knows after possessing them.

Before this, only Lin Yilin's talent for rituals was not well replicated. He could only understand and execute, but could not actively piece together and create rituals on his own. To be precise, it was very difficult. Even after replicating it, he still had to learn it again—wouldn't he have copied it for nothing? So Zheng Fan had never paid attention to this aspect.

Now there's something else that he can't copy, and this time it's not just an incomplete copy, but a complete failure to copy it at all.

That is the power of love that Jiang Sigang has mastered.

He has memories related to Jiang Si, and everything about Jiang Si. He can replace Jiang Si at any time if he wants, but he cannot use the power of love that Jiang Si comprehended.

This force is far too harsh.

However, Zheng didn't dwell on it too much. After all, it's common knowledge that in most works, love is a "mysterious force" with an extremely low apparent barrier to entry, but a hidden barrier that is arguably the most difficult to overcome.

He hadn't felt anything when he followed Jiang Qiang before, and he still hadn't gained anything from Jiang Si now.

If someone were to descend and point at Zheng Fan's nose, saying, "You are not destined for love!", Zheng Fan would only be taken aback: Is that really true?

In short, he was already invincible with the power of the Black World alone. Even that mysterious system wholesaler who seemed to know a lot had to be beaten down by him while also coaxing him in the depths of the Black World.

This could already be considered an "enemy from outer space," right? But even this enemy from outer space was no match for Zheng Fan.

If we keep fighting, then we can only wait and see if the dark side can unearth more capable things.

I felt no sorrow for the embodiment of violence and the system wholesaler; who knows which expert will appear next.

Zheng Fan was looking forward to the beginning of the stirring central capital, Dadu.

Judging from their behavior after the earthquake, they really have a lot of interesting things hidden.

The power of love, more so Zheng Fan's hope, is to use this relationship to further his connection with the various mechs. If this happens, or more precisely, if he can complete the second stage, it will be like he and his little hosts have unlocked an achievement. He will feel that he has indeed left something on them, and a strange sense of peace will well up inside him.

Even something like him can feel joy from a moment of peace and security.

“I want to test the power of love, along with the Adam embryo from before, and the paper, to see what kind of fruit they can bear on me,” Jiang Si continued, sharing her thoughts.

Perhaps influenced by Mr. Wang, Jiang Si is now very motivated to improve in this area.

Only when I can actually forcefully kiss Zheng Fan will I consider this a small goal achieved. As for going further, that might still be a bit difficult.

Her relationship with Lin Yilin was peaceful and serene, her connection with Doris was profound and soulful, and she was unlike that enigmatic iron lump radish.

Even now, Jiang Si has no intention of giving up excitement. She has now fully confronted her violent, thrill-seeking genes, and in fact, her motivation has only grown stronger.

"Then keep up the good work," Zheng Fan replied casually.

They watched the sea together for a long time until dusk approached, then got up and went back to their car.

Although the two of them had already returned to Jiang Hui's side, Luo Xingxing was still there. She didn't really care, but since Luo Xingxing was Jiang Si's first follower, she decided to show her respect.

She returned to the Longhua Gang's territory, which was much quieter now—at least much better than the scene of tanks holding meetings and bombers socializing at noon and in the afternoon.

For those who are following this matter, the news that the three Long brothers have reached a reconciliation and are preparing to reorganize the Longhua Gang with the youngest brother, Long Yu, as the leader is largely true.

Aside from the strangeness of the peaceful ending, no one with even a little bit of insight into the situation would be surprised by Long Yu's rise to power.

When Jiang Si returned, the three brothers were already holding a banquet.

It's clear that only the three of them have resolved their own issues, while the Longhua Gang as a whole is still in a state of division. Although the three of them are the biggest "warlords" themselves, it's already a foregone conclusion that they will unite and sweep through the enemy.

And that guy standing on the table bragging, isn't that her new sidekick Luo Xingxing?

Why the hell did you end up standing there?

In fact, Luo Xingxing was originally left here to represent Jiang Si.

However, during the interrogation of most of the people, and because Luo Xingxing herself did not hide it, she revealed her identity as a member of the Luo family.

Those around him were immediately awestruck.

As mentioned before, the "adult members of the Luo family" have long been rumored in the violent world to be a species like the "adult dragons" in fantasy stories.

Unfortunately, this rare species is now so rare that only two remain: one is incredibly strong, and the other is a freak.

This immediately made their relationship very close.

At least the fact that an adult member of the Luo family was a guest would make one look quite prestigious in a violent world.

It is very intimidating, to say the least.

Jin Cuilong followed along and joined the banquet. He was also considered to be in cahoots with Jiang Si, since he had acted as a guide. Therefore, even though he remained in the Longhua Gang, he was not held accountable.

Even Long Hao might not remember him now.

The hedgehog-shaped car crashed so hard that I really didn't have the mind to think about it for a moment.

Just as the banquet was in full swing, Jiang Si flew by like Spider-Man, attached to a red thread, and kicked Luo Xingxing, who was sitting high above holding a wine glass and pretending to be a wine goddess, in the stomach, making her vomit a big mouthful of the wine she had just drunk.

After saying "We're leaving now," he took Luo Xingxing home.
