Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 555 Problem Solving
Boom——!
"Woman! Get out here!" Luo Shiyu punched a one-story building, causing it to collapse, and roared at the surroundings.

Lin Yilin was holding a cat, hiding in a dark corner with the help of an earthworm. Her little face was covered in dust, but she still had no expression, which made her look somewhat numb and pitiful.

"Meow~?" Cat Gun asked, "What do we do now?"

I just tried it. After Luo Shiyu's bloodline power surged, he could generate a powerful invisible shockwave with his punches and block the cat's bullets from a distance.

The cat gun is no longer a threat to him, unless there's a more unexpected sneak attack. However, the vitality of the Luo family bloodline is another problem.

They're definitely not glass cannons; while their lethality is skyrocketing, their health bars must also be growing. Otherwise, the injuries the black earthworm inflicted on his internal organs wouldn't have healed so easily.

The fact is that Luo Shi is doing very well now, and his internal injuries have almost completely healed.

"Even if you seize an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, it must be a killing move capable of killing someone in one strike. Where can you find such a killing move in this situation?" Lin Yilin asked, as if she already knew the answer.

Cat Gun: "..."

Although it doesn't like the noisy toast that always disturbs its sleep, let's put aside your grudges with the toast for now.

Luo Shi exhaled a visible stream of air.

Several bullets shot out from the ruins and rubble, and he immediately turned around and fired with both hands. The resulting shockwave acted like an invisible wall, blocking and crushing the bullets.

Luo Shiyu casually stepped over the wreckage: "Is it here!"

A thick, black earthworm suddenly sprang up, and Luo Shi chopped it down on the head with a hand chop, shattering it before the shockwave could erupt.

He also found Lin Yilin under the fragments of earthworm.

The moment their eyes met, a hazy gray glint flashed in his eyes before he disappeared from Lin Yilin's sight.

Again.

Lin Yilin didn't engage in a pointless search. She already knew that this wasn't simply a matter of powerful concealment abilities, and it wasn't something that could be solved by perception alone.

She took out a small glass jar and crushed it, the white dust inside drifting out and enveloping her.

Then she suddenly bent down and squatted down, and a powerful fist swept across the spot where she had just been standing.

"What!?" Luo Shiyu was incredulous to see Lin Yilin anticipate his attack. Had she really cracked his ability?

However, this only reflects his disappearance; the greater gap between the two is the absolute difference in their raw strength. Despite his surprise, Luo Shiyu didn't panic and immediately kicked Lin Yilin.

Lin Yilin didn't mind the embarrassment. She lay down on the ground to avoid the kick, and then rolled away to create distance, using the earthworms as cover.

Luo Shi and Deep Breath disappeared again.

Lin Yilin patted the cat gun's rear end, and the cat gun, understanding her intention, fired directly at the ground around Lin Yilin, causing it to explode. The terrain immediately became cratered and uneven, and a large earthworm emerged, picked up Lin Yilin, and then flung her away.

She observed the original location from mid-air and saw Luo Shiyu's figure reappear.

Due to the continuous changes in terrain, and the fact that Lin Yilin was thrown to a higher place, he was unable to catch up and could only watch helplessly.

At the same time, he was basically certain that Lin Yilin had seen through his second illusion ability.

Lin Yilin was caught by another earthworm and clung to it without touching the ground.

The essence of the ability is one, but it manifests as two parts. The illusion from the dark world is indeed the most wondrous existence in this world.

“That illusion allows you to travel between worlds for a short period of time,” Lin Yilin said.

Luo Shiyu looked at her, remaining silent and noncommittal.

"It's not a true world-traveling experience; to be precise, it's about 'temporarily leaving this world.' It's not just a physical departure, but a departure in terms of 'consciousness,' which conforms to the definition of the multiple worlds in the capital. This will infinitely reduce your presence in the observation of other consciousnesses in this world. You are always right in front of us, in the same place, without leaving, but all of us who were originally observing you have ignored you."

Lin Yilin continued, "This is not hard to guess. What confuses me the most is that if the ability is merely the disappearance of presence, then you should have been able to remain unscathed when facing large-scale attacks from the enemy. So, in my understanding, you created a kind of distorted overlay of events by leaving the world."

"Your consciousness leaves this world, causing existence to be forgotten, and then it is overwritten by the distortion of events, forming a state that appears to be ethereal. At this time, you and the world can no longer observe or interfere with each other. During this process, your illusions will observe this world for you in the gaps of your abilities, providing guidance for your actions. Then, when you attack, this state ends."

Luo Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "I take back what I said about you being no good, woman. Although you are weak, you are very knowledgeable and your mind is indeed very sharp." "Coincidentally, I also have some understanding of the methods of traversing worlds. With this overlapping method, I don't need to observe you. I only need to perform a simple ritual and detect where there are fluctuations at the world level to know your specific movements after you disappeared." Lin Yilin didn't care about Luo Shiyu's change of heart and just finished explaining the results of her previous attempt.

"The mystery has been solved. I will keep my distance from you, and you can no longer catch me. You can disappear twice in a short period of time, although it is a departure of consciousness, the burden is reflected in the body. However, considering your growth, this ability has probably increased to three times... Now, as long as the Bureau of Justice is free to deal with you, you will have no choice but to surrender. Or, you can simply give up on avenging your friend and flee in a sorry state."

Lin Yilin looked down at Luo Shiyu, her tone flat, showing no joy in solving the mystery.

Having heard about it from Toast for the first time and witnessed Luo Shiyu use it several times, it wouldn't be difficult for her, with her knowledge, to see through this layer.

"You got all cocky after just one compliment? That's ridiculous. I'm far from reaching my limit!" Luo Shiyu clenched his fists and disappeared again.

Although the dust that Lin Yilin laid down could detect his movements from other angles to some extent, the accuracy was not high.

She just proved this point by using the cat to indiscriminately destroy the terrain in all directions and to let the earthworms help it move and create distance.

Despite having decent physical attributes, Lin Yilin's most fatal flaw—her inability to keep up with Luo Shi and his men's desperate escape—lies in her slow reaction time.

Only by making thorough preparations and anticipating the situation can she effectively dodge and defend, and find opportunities to counterattack.

Luo Shiyu had long realized this; Lin Yilin was not someone who fought frequently.

Even if she can now sense him through some means, as long as he moves fast enough and relentlessly presses on, Lin Yilin will soon be overwhelmed and unable to keep up!

Boom boom boom!
When he reappeared, he directly interrupted the earthworm carrying Lin Yilin, but the earthworm had already handed Lin Yilin over before it broke.

However, Luo Shiyu had anticipated this and intercepted Lin Yilin, who was leaping into the air.

Lin Yilin set up the cat gun and fired in rapid succession.

Luo Shiyu swung his hands, deflecting all the bullets, and then elbowed Lin Yilin in the chest.

However, the impact exploded from Lin Yilin's chest, and she once again scattered into a large number of earthworms.

"So many stand-ins!" Luo Shiyu wouldn't suffer a second time. He exploded in mid-air, but was only bounced to the ground by the shockwave. The earthworm failed to entangle him.

He immediately located Lin Yilin's position, and then disappeared again.

Lin Yilin sprinkled powder again.

boom!
The punch ripped open the ground, Lin Yilin's hair was disheveled by the wind from the punch, and blood flowed from her nose. Although she was not hit, she was still impacted.

But she didn't even blink, just stared intently at Luo Shiyu, and fired the cat gun at close range after charging it up!
Luo Shiyu has disappeared again!
This was beyond his previous limit, and he disappeared for the third time.

The ground beneath Lin Yilin's feet suddenly collapsed under the weight, and Lin Yilin fell into an underground passage, causing Luo Shiyu's attack on the surface to miss.

"You've already calculated everything to this extent?" Luo Shiyu gasped for breath, staring down at the scene.

He was certain Lin Yilin was out of ammunition, and thought this punch would be enough to take her down. This ground collapse was definitely not an accident; it was something this woman had planned.

His ability to disappear is excellent, but if any accident occurs during the process of killing the enemy, the opportunity will be lost in an instant, and a sudden change in the terrain makes it difficult for him to even have a chance to make up for it and pursue the enemy.

"You must have set up that cat gun underground, waiting for me to come down! Woman, I believe you and Luo Ye are friends now, even in a fight you're not good at. Once you start fighting, you're driven by immense competitive spirit. The way you looked at me when you landed was exactly the same as Luo Ye's in the past... You do have a chance to use the underground passage to continue stalling, but you won't do it. You want to defeat me, and now there's a variable, an opportunity. And I was indeed provoked by you, needlessly wasting a lot of energy. Disappearing three times in a row has pushed me to my limit..."

Luo Shi spoke into the darkness below, not afraid that Lin Yilin would hear his voice.

The two of them were already quite heated.

"However, the so-called limits are meant to be broken!"

Luo Shi punched the already ravaged ground, widening the collapsed breach even further!

As a shower of rubble fell, Luo Shiyu leaped down, then opened his arms wide: "Come on, woman!"

Meow!
Several golden streaks of light converged in the darkness, and finally a huge golden cat rushed towards Luo Shiyu with a flash, its golden claws aimed at Luo Shiyu.

"For Yi Feiyu, I will overcome any difficulty! So, unleash your power!" Luo Shiyu looked at the rapidly approaching "cat's claws," which were essentially a large number of bullets!
His figure disappeared from this world for the fourth time in a short period of time!
