Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 563 Tree Hole
The rabbi pushed open the door and entered the room at the far end of the house.

The woman, so thin she was almost unrecognizable as a ghost, was sleeping peacefully with her daughter. The girl's breathing was steady and calm, but the woman was no longer breathing.

She didn't wake her daughter, and simply fell asleep beside her forever. A peaceful smile graced her face, which made the rabbi stand there for a long time.

She then gently closed the door without disturbing them.

Her eyes quickly caught a cluster of information floating beside her, which was the illusion that had originally been attached to the woman.

"Thank you," the illusion said.

"What are you going to do next?"

“The city’s water supply hasn’t run out, and I’ve left enough food for her to stay here for a long time. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll find a suitable host and come back to her then.”

The illusion looked at the rabbi and added, "A host who is willing to cooperate with me."

It all depends on the self-awareness of this illusion; the rabbi can't control it in any way. But based on its current actions, it is indeed trustworthy.

Previously, if it hadn't dealt with the illusion watching this family, it would have had to quickly find a suitable host to seize and then return. But now, with the help of Rabbi and Carrot, it has much more time and should be fine. At worst, it can just wait it out, appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them. Making deals with demons is something illusions excel at.

“I’m someone who can’t do anything without relying on illusions,” the rabbi suddenly said.

The illusion, which had been about to leave, unexpectedly lingered.

"Even if I wanted to shout the slogan 'Sweep away the evil illusions here' because of Ji Leicheng's current situation, I couldn't do it. I just want to know how my parents died here, and what exactly happened to me when I was a child... But what's the use of knowing these things? I don't understand."

The rabbi looked at the closed door and lowered his head: "I'm just trying to keep myself occupied. Otherwise, it's empty."

After thinking for a moment, Illusion gently stepped forward and made a hugging motion.

The rabbi could not touch the illusion, and the illusion could not touch the rabbi either. Therefore, it only made movements, and in the rabbi's eyes, it was just a ball of information that enveloped him, with no real tactile sensation other than that.

"When children cry, this is usually enough to calm them down."

“I didn’t cry,” the rabbi defended himself.

“You say you feel empty, but I can really feel your emotions. We are your confidantes, so don’t think too far ahead about what’s in your heart.”

After saying that, the illusion floated away.

The rabbi stood there for a while, his expression unchanged, but he left with slightly lighter steps.

……

"That illusion is gone?" Zheng Fan asked knowingly. Although he hadn't investigated the conversation between the rabbi and the illusion, he could easily sense the aura that the other party took with them when they left.

"Let's go. Let's see if it's lucky enough to bring back a host." Rabbi sized up Zheng Fan, his eyes slightly unrestrained.

The wolf mother nodded and said, "If it wants to continue to come back to protect the vulnerable child in the house, it must take this opportunity to find a suitable and cooperative host. Even though its kind in this city will no longer easily turn its attention to us, this world also has its own chaos and dangers."

Zheng Fan wasn't affected by the information he had just received from the wolf mother. In fact, even if he knew that he was just a life easily created by someone else and would be written by an unscrupulous author to die like a clown in the next second, he wouldn't be too emotional.

We need to go back and check with Lin Yilin to find out the specifics, and then confirm what the people in Dadu think about this matter, or whether they have taken any corresponding measures.

He vaguely sensed that the sudden changes in the Pure White Society and the desperate actions of the Tide Army might also be related to the plans of the Black World.

In this major event, my position might be that of a hidden mole planted in the white world.

In the Earthquake World and Water World, one is a traitorous henchman, while the System Wholesaler is a cunning strategist.

In a sense, he was quite helpful in the operation against the White World. During the previous earthquake illusion, although it seemed he and Lin Yilin had quietly saved Dadu, the earthquake hadn't actually forced out much of the power in Dadu's central area. Instead, he himself had triggered a reaction in Dadu, and then, in order to kick the sullen Dadu back, he unleashed even more power from the Black World.

In the end, the white world was deeply hurt, and the earthquake world was also blown up. Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin, on the other hand, comfortably deepened their relationship and figured out some things that were still unclear.

Now, after listening to the wolf mother's words, one thing that can be seen is that the black figure behind him is the one who made the biggest profit.

I originally thought that the earthquake world was part of the dark world, and its intensity was not low. But it turns out that the wandering world could be easily taken back by that dark will, so it really doesn't matter.

Even from the seemingly sophisticated illusion of the wolf mother, a mysterious and indistinct black will still emanates...

Zheng Fan recalled once again the giant black tree he had seen, and the self that it was changing.

There are many speculations, but none of them seem to make any sense now.

When we beat up the system wholesaler last time, we should have asked a few more questions. There are many others like Zheng Fan and the system wholesaler in the depths of the dark world.

If we assume everyone is a representative of the dark world, then the dark world is clearly not as petty as the violent world.

But everyone seems to be very wary of them.

Zheng Fan felt this was wrong, as it was suspected of being a form of passive-aggressive bullying. Having never suffered any injustice among his peers except during university, Zheng Fan still hoped that fellow spokespeople could love and respect each other.

Now only my wholesaler classmates talk to me properly... Hmm, it seems I've been a bit too harsh on them.

Let's visit again sometime. Last time we met, we only managed to destroy most of its body. This little bit of damage should be just a pretentious scrap for the Dark World's representative. It's nothing.

It will forgive itself.

Zheng Fan quickly went through the thoughts in his mind, and then said to Rabbi, who was about to say something, "Let's go. The wolf mother said she can lead the way for us. You still need to find the royal military industry in Ji Lei City, right? Your parents used to work there."

Rabbi paused, then said, "Eh, um!"

The wolf mother gave a gentle smile. Even with that werewolf face, her smile still gave people a heartwarming and reassuring feeling.

"Wolf Mom, do you like humans that much?" Zheng Fan teased with a smile upon seeing this.

“Not just humans, there are many things I like.” The wolf mother gently shook her head.

"So, do you like the dark world?"

The wolf mother looked at Zheng Fan with surprise; this question seemed to strike at her very core.

Zheng Fan simply smiled and looked at it, waiting for its reply.

"No," it still gave its answer. "This self I obtained from countless conscious beings tells me that I did not like the chaotic days of the past."

"I see." Zheng Fan didn't say much, or even make any comments. He just reached out and rubbed Rabi's head hard as Rabi passed by.

Rabbi covered his head, looking at Zheng Fan in bewilderment as he suddenly attacked.

"We'll wipe out all the illusions that you don't like, and then we'll see what else you're unhappy about and deal with it all at once."

Rabbi stared blankly at Zheng Fan.

“I can read your minds anytime. Don’t be silly and keep things bottled up and wait for me to say them for you. It will only make you look awkward and pathetic,” Zheng Fan said bluntly.
