Am I really hallucinating?

What exactly is burning in Chapter 556?
The gaping hole in the ground allowed more sunlight to stream in, and as Luo Shiyu disappeared, sunlight and pebbles fell on Lin Yilin, who was lying on the ground.

The cat paw bullets from the cat gun ultimately landed on empty air.

This time, Luo Shiyu's figure disappeared before his fist hit Lin Yilin. Blood spurted from his nose, but his trembling fist still swung towards Lin Yilin's chest.

The fist pierced through Lin Yilin's chest, but Luo Shiyu did not show any joy; instead, his eyes revealed immense shock.

"It doesn't feel right to the touch..."

Another stunt double?!
No, no, it takes time for her to create earthworm substitutes, and she can't prepare multiple at once. The last substitute was just destroyed, so this one can't be a substitute.

If he were a stand-in, he should have been able to hit those earthworms with his own touch, but at this moment, his hand seemed to pass through a fake projection and strike the ground beneath Lin Yilin.

There was no blood, no tearing of flesh.

It's like blurring out the background...!

"You're copying me!?" Luo Shiyu realized the essence of this feeling. Although Lin Yilin was still in front of him, she had left this world just like him, leaving only a projection in the same place.

The only difference is that Lin Yilin's use of this technique does not cause a loss of presence, so others can still see her, but she is actually no longer there.

"Ouch!"

In this state, Lin Yilin was naturally unable to retaliate; her consciousness was detached, and she could see nothing.

But at this moment, she wasn't the one who was responsible for the killing move.

The golden flashes were still swirling, and the cat paw bullets from before hadn't disappeared. Besides forcing Luo Shiyu to reappear, its other purpose was to bring Toast over!
The golden light of the cat paw bomb blended seamlessly with the golden surface of the toast, making it dazzling at this moment.

Luo Shiyu quickly withdrew his hand and ignored Lin Yilin: "A mere trick!"

With crimson flames burning around him, Toast suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a thick earthworm that crashed into Luo Shiyu's fist.

The force of the shockwave erupted, and Luo Shiyu, who was already quite exhausted, suffered further injuries.

This injury is nothing to worry about, but the problem is that his movements were delayed!
From the toast's mouth, the crimson blade gleamed once more.

Suddenly, something moved in Luo Shiyu's inner pocket. This was something no one had anticipated, not even Luo Shiyu himself.

The thing pierced through Luo Shiyu's pocket and revealed its little head.

A... lizard!
This is! ?
……

"I've bred something good." Yi Feiyu grinned as he showed him a lizard in his hand that looked unremarkable and was curled up in a ball, appearing quite timid.

"What is this? It looks so weak."

"Hmph, it's not a reckless fool like you. It has the ability to detach its tail and escape. And this ability can be activated by attaching itself to a person. Simply put, it can die for me once." Yi Feiyu said proudly, gently stroking the little lizard's head with his fingers.

“It’s good,” Luo Shiyu said. “After all, your physical body is quite weak. Having this as a trump card will make it easier for you to survive in danger. In the robbery plan, your task is also the most important, so I feel much more at ease with this protection.”

“Hmm…” Yi Feiyu looked at him, smiling without saying a word.

……

When did you put this in my pocket?

The lizard's eyes were dull and lifeless, reflecting Luo Shiyu's face. The next moment, its head was separated from its body.

The bloodline that should have appeared on Luo Shi's neck was instead on this lizard's neck.

"Awoo!?" You're cheating!
The toast was surprised.

How come some people are still clinging to life even after being beheaded?

Luo Shiyu reacted quickly, grabbing the toast in mid-air: "You thing are really persistent, how many times do I have to smash you to pieces before I can get rid of you? This time I'm going to tear you to shreds!"

The toast kept moving and struggling.

Luo Shiyu clenched her fist tightly.

Stab it!

A flash of red light appeared on Toast's body, and he bravely severed most of his own body, leaving only his lower half in Luo Shiyu's hands. With a powerful leap, he landed on the ground and scrambled towards Lin Yilin.

"Awooo! Awooo!" Binary Girl, save me!

Luo Shiyu tossed aside the half-eaten toast in his hand and immediately followed.

Lin Yilin had stood up at some point, her upper body shrouded in the shadows where the sun couldn't reach, with only her legs exposed to the light.

When Toast ran up to her, she reached out and picked it up. Realizing what was happening, the previously restless Toast immediately calmed down.

Seeing this, Luo Shiyu prepared to throw a punch that would smash through both Toast and Lin Yilin at the same time.

But the instant he took a step forward, a terrifying pressure crashed down upon him. It was as if the entire world was enveloped by that eerie, tremoring force. His world shook, no longer allowing him to take another step forward.

The aura formed by the burning essence and spirit on his body turned around and issued a sharp warning to Luo Shiyu—do not come any closer!
Lin Yilin's upper body was shrouded in darkness, and only her outline could be vaguely seen. Only her eyes shone with a grayish-white light, casting a cold gaze upon him.

“You… are not the… woman from just now…” Even so, he endured the suffocating pressure and managed to speak.

"One destruction followed by reconstruction, four disappearances that transcended limits and traversed the world, and the second life given by a deceased companion... It's truly magnificent." The voices of the man and woman echoed in unison.

"Then, as a reward for your bravery, I will tell you what you want to know. I am the one who killed your friend."

Luo Shiyu's pupils trembled violently.

It's "her"!?

I see, that explains it. It wasn't the Bureau of Investigation who killed Yi Feiyu. Yi Feiyu's death was full of strange and bizarre things, but on the contrary, it made people not bother to care.

Luo Shiyu clenched his loose fists tightly.

Even though the illusions on her body could convey their fear through illusion magic, Luo Shiyu was not as afraid as she had been at the beginning.

Seeking revenge for his friend is Luo Shi's ultimate goal for the rest of his life, and now that goal is within reach.

He cannot back down.

Even though he was sweating profusely and breathing rapidly, he had almost recovered by now.

"Come on, I can't give you the perfect ending you desire, but I can grant you another wish," Lin Yilin said calmly.

Luo Shiyu took the step that he had been unable to take just now because of his momentary fear.

Whoosh!
disappear!

Contact lenses. Luo Shi and the second illusion have always used contact lenses as his eyes. Even in his vanished state, he can still peer into the world through these contact lenses.

Luo Shi bypassed Lin Yilin's frontal view.

He then noticed that Lin Yilin's pale eyes had been following his every move!
Even after leaving this world, can this being still see itself?! Is it using the same methods as that woman before? Or does this being possess a higher perspective?
"No." Seeing his confusion, "Lin Yilin" kindly explained, "I didn't use any abilities, nor do I need Lin Yilin's help. I can see you simply because your presence is so dazzling that even the illusions around you can't erase the traces of your existence."

Luo Shiyu: !!!

He had always been the most inconspicuous member of the contemporary Luo family, weak and insignificant, and he believed that this was the reason why he was so well-suited to the special hallucination on his eyes.

But why... what has changed now?
"Your spirit, your fighting will, your strong will—all have been transformed through the trials of this battle, making you unlike anything you've ever been before. These are things that mere presence can no longer conceal. If you can walk out of here, then your future should be one of striving to emulate that madwoman."

Lin Yilin was facing Luo Shiyu.

Luo Shi and gritted teeth.

"Damn it!"

The disappearance is over.

Luo Shi and everything in his life were concentrated in this punch, vowing to blast his life away with it, fueled by anger, resentment, and a strange... joy of being recognized.

If only these chaotic emotions could be conveyed to Yi Feiyu...

"Drink——!!"

The force of the punch tore the gash on her head open even wider, revealing "Lin Yilin" hiding in the shadows. Her long hair danced in the wind, and she slowly extended her palm.

He pushed the fist away with one hand, then went straight for the head.

……

On the ground, Lin Yilin sat in Zheng Fan's lap, holding a cat gun and half a piece of toast in her arms.

"I never want to fight with anyone again." Lin Yilin's tone was calm, yet it seemed as if she was making an accusation.

"Hahaha, you did a great job!" Zheng Fan couldn't help but laugh, resting his chin on Lin Yilin's head.

"The plan was perfect, and I anticipated all his moves, but his breakthroughs keep coming... What am I supposed to fight? I'm clearly the weaker party here! What's he so passionate about?"

It was clear that Lin Yilin was genuinely unhappy. She had forced herself to cooperate with Toast despite her displeasure, but they still ended up losing out, which is something most people would find hard to accept.

"Just call me next time, no need to be stubborn."

"There won't be a next time." Lin Yilin gave a soft "humph".

Binary Girl's competitive spirit is just awful.
