Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 565 Black Bell, White Ship
Gu Zhong shook his head slightly: "That makes sense, but to me, these are not worthless. Compared to those pointless emotions that interfere with the great cause, these are obviously more useful."

It did not deny these things.

The ancient bell tilted its head back—only the tilt of the bell that served as its head could be barely discerned as tilting its head back—and looked at the pitch-black bell in the sky: "The same kind is just a convenient term, but we have no collective consciousness. Even if we are gathered into a realm, we must choose a core that faces outwards. We are beings that live for ourselves, and my refining them is merely the optimal solution I make as an individual."

The wolf mother's sharp eyes flashed: "Are you trying to say that we shouldn't question you with the simple morality of life?"

"You are free to question me as you please... but this is my answer." Gu Zhong said, raising one hand to the sky: "I originally wanted to accumulate more, but even if the wolf's strength is not complete, it is not an opponent I can take lightly... Although it is a bit early, it doesn't matter. Opportunity is not something you wait for, but something you create."

Boom-!
The pitch-black bell swayed gently, and its deafening, magnificent sound spread outwards. Visible black waves rippled along with the sound, reaching the entire city of Jilei and even far away.

"I dare to presume to begin," Gu Zhong said, before his feet left the ground and he flew directly toward the pitch-black bell.

Radish glanced sideways, seemingly gazing into the distance.

The sound of the bell drowned out the grinding of the gears that had been swirling around it, and even for a moment completely erased it.

Rabbi's gaze was directed toward the distant Hakchu mine. As the bell tolled, the writhing black mass in the distance suddenly began to stir, its previously docile appearance transforming into a swarm of rats under a rat infestation.

"The world... is shifting?" The information the rabbi caught was far more terrifying than the scene before him.

"They want to move the mechanical world directly to attack Dadu. This is much more efficient than what Biagu and the earthquake did back then," Zheng Fan commented from the side.

"No! Mr. Doll, I remember what happened to Agui and the Earthquake World?"

“They’re all gone.” Zheng Fan made a blowing bubble motion.

"No!" Rabbi didn't want his world to explode out of thin air because of the dark world and these hallucinations and inexplicable schemes.

"Don't worry, since the earthquake impact happened not long ago, most people are very vigilant and experienced in this area, so they should be able to handle this properly," Zheng Fan reassured him.

"Is that so?"

"Yes, we should be able to blow up this world in advance to ensure that the impact doesn't happen."

"Isn't it all the same!?"

Although there seemed to be no good news, the rabbi actually breathed a sigh of relief after his rant. The fact that Zheng Fan still had the mind to joke meant that the situation wasn't as bad as it seemed.

The wolf mother lay down, on all fours: "No, before this world is noticed and destroyed by the white world, it must first refine this world!"

It said solemnly, "I've known it for a long time. It's always been obsessed with its own growth and has never shown any interest in its hosts. All hosts are just nutrients for its growth, and it will absorb them all before moving on to the next one. But even so, it shouldn't have this ability! It's using the sound of the bell to directly mobilize the power of the dark world. This authority has already surpassed that of our ordinary kind!"

“And alchemy,” the rabbi said. “Its methods of refining illusions and the world are the alchemy of our world!”

The illusion known as the "Ancient Bell" has gathered multiple conditions in its hands.

It mastered alchemy in this world and used it to create this bell to fulfill certain conditions, in exchange for a sliver of authority to summon the dark world.

As Zheng Fan said, it may have made a deal with a representative from the depths of the dark world.

"I'll go first." The wolf mother leaped into the air with all her might, holding nothing back, and launched her "Wolf Song" attack!
Ouch——!
With a pale, giant wolf's phantom howling towards the sky, the wolf mother crashed headfirst into the pitch-black bell.

“Foolish,” Gu Zhong said coldly.

Boom--boom--!
The wolf song, capable of moving mountains, filling seas, and destroying the world, struck the bell, yet it left no mark on it and even helped complete the bell-ringing process.

A louder bell rang out, and the blackness of the distant Hackch mine had now transformed into a wave!
Whoosh!
A claw mark grazed the surface of the bell, striking the ancient bell unexpectedly. The ancient bell quickly shook its head, but was still grazed by the sharp claw, leaving a mark on the bronze bell head. The wolf mother clung to the dark bell, looking back at the ancient bell: "It seems the bell on your head isn't as hard as this bell."

"You're quite cunning." Gu Zhong's tone remained unchanged, only seeming a bit colder.

"I am a wolf." The wolf mother grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth; the gentle wolf mother began to show her fangs.

Rabbi and Carrot wanted to help, but the black tide surging out of the mine was already heading towards Ji Lei City!

However, misfortunes never come singly.

A beam of white light tore through the dark clouds in the sky, and what appeared in the air was not a savior, but a giant spaceship with a pure white color scheme.

Its shadow could probably cover almost the entire city of Jilei, and together with the black bell, it divided the colors of the sky, one black and one white, standing in opposition in the air.

“That can’t be…” Rabbi saw the conspicuous golden markings on the surface of the spaceship, and his face turned even more pale than when he was facing the hallucinations.

"Beep beep..." Radish's signal light also flashed a few times quickly.

Dadu, the Wave Army.

They are back.

Zheng's opposition to this development was not unexpected. The reason he came to find Carrot and Rabbi was because of the crazy actions of the Wave Army.

They may very well find clues again to locate the coordinates of the mechanical world.

And because of that bell, even without those clues, it's not surprising that the mechanical world has been brought back into the spotlight by the capital.

Did the Wave Army send a spaceship over immediately after they realized something was wrong?

Such a large spaceship could probably function as a small, mobile city. And the armed forces on just this one spaceship are far stronger than what the Tide Army deployed in the mechanical world in half a day.

"them……"

"Don't count on it. They're here to destroy this world."

Before the rabbi could even ask a question, Zheng Fan had already given him the answer.

“That’s true… there was really nothing to look forward to anyway.” The rabbi chuckled dryly.

How did it suddenly become like this?

According to Mr. Puppet, their world is just one of countless wandering worlds, yet such a small place is about to become a battlefield of black and white.

“Let’s go, Radish,” Rabbi said to Radish.

But after taking just one step forward, Zheng pulled her back: "That's not where you're going."

"Huh? Where do I need to go now?"

“Kabbalah,” Zheng Fan said, “you need to help Luo Bo get his important things over there. Only in this way can you change the current situation with your own strength.”
