Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 575 Is self-deception really useful?
A day had passed since Zheng Fan went to find Rabbi and Carrot, until Rabbi and Carrot achieved their dualistic ascension to godhood.

The more time-consuming part was not the great war, but rather the reshaping and stabilizing of the world after becoming a god.

The wolf mother was also kicked out when the world was reshaped and refreshed, but Carrot did not eliminate the connection it left with the host of this world, so it was able to come back to see its cubs.

The wolf mother was also deeply moved by the changes in the situation, but as long as her cubs were saved and she didn't have to leave her home and abandon her original world to run away, the situation was better than she had imagined.

It expressed its gratitude to Zheng Fan and Luo Bo for this.

As for the story behind the ancient bell's attempt to refine other illusions and erode the entire world to make itself the spokesperson for the dark world, although the ancient bell simply vanished without a trace, there is no point in investigating this matter itself.

There are many representatives in the Black World, and it would be normal for any of them to take action. Currently, only the wholesaler is making a big splash in the Black World, while the other representatives have not made any moves, and it is unclear even about their specific attitudes.

Judging from the methods used, it doesn't seem like something a system wholesaler would do. The others are still using passive-aggressive tactics against Zheng Fan, making him weep.

Searching for the others would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, this debt can only be noted down for now.

"Although you probably won't need it, just call me if anything happens in the future." After saying this, the wolf mother left.

Possessing strength far exceeding that of ordinary illusions, yet with a frighteningly gentle nature, Zheng Fan still quite likes this gentle werewolf.

After that, Radish went to the capital to find the rabbis who had been kicked out of the room. Zheng Fan provided them with some help and then returned to Zero One Office without disturbing their rest time.

At the firm, I met an old acquaintance I hadn't seen in a long time, the noisy wife Hong Yijia.

She and Lin Yilin were talking about something.

Zheng Fan had just returned and was about to greet Lin Yilin, but when he saw Hong Yijia, he unconsciously slowed his pace, subconsciously not wanting to be discovered.

Lin Yilin glanced at him, and Zheng Fan quickly made a shushing gesture.

"Has Mr. Illusion returned?" Hong Yijia suddenly asked.

Then it was discovered.

Zheng Fan: !?

How was this discovered?

Lin Yilin pouted helplessly at Zheng Fan: "Sorry, I guess she saw the change in my eyes."

"You're back after all!" Hong Yijia immediately turned around, but naturally couldn't see Zheng Fan, so she could only shout to the empty room behind her, "Mr. Illusion! Long time no see, don't you have anything to say to me?"

A piece of paper flew out and smeared it on Hong Yijia's face. The words "No" were clearly written in black on a white background.

After doing this, Zheng Fan bypassed Hong Yijia and came to Lin Yilin's side: "How is it? About the Pure White Society?"

"Currently, the impact hasn't spread to the capital. However, the Pure White Society is showing signs of splitting due to disagreements over its plans. One faction has allied with the Tide Society and even the Tide Army, and has even mobilized the power of the Pure White Beacon to assist them. They have developed a lethal weapon called the 'World Bleaching Program,' which can convert all 'non-white' elements into pure white factors and absorb them," Lin Yilin said, pulling up the data on her computer.

Seeing the envy in Jia's eyes, Zheng Fan still took out his phone and opened the public chat.

“I just came back from Luo Bo’s place and saw this thing you’re talking about.”

"Where are the things?" "They were dismantled by Carrot and Rabi." Zheng thought for a moment. The super spaceship called "Heavenly Book" was completely dismantled from both the physical and informational levels, leaving nothing behind. "But asking Rabi should be able to restore a little bit of it."

"If possible, please at least restore the contents of this bleaching program," Lin Yilin said.

"I'll pass it on."

Zheng Fan then recounted his experiences in the mechanical world. After listening, Lin Yilin's expression remained unchanged, but Hong Yijia, who was standing next to her, suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "The Heavenly Book!?"

"I think that's the name. Why?"

“Those are super spaceships that can travel for long periods of time in the Black World! There are only about twenty of them in the entire capital! One of them is at the headquarters of the Processing Bureau, ten are controlled by the Pure White Society, and the rest are all in the center of the capital,” Hong Yijia explained.

Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin exchanged a glance, then looked at her: "And then?"

"This is arguably one of the most precious things in the capital, and it's gone just like that under Mr. Illusion!" Even though it wasn't her own ship, Hong Yijia felt heartbroken.

I wish we could get it.

Even the processing bureau can only get one ship.

"If you want, I can build one for you."

Zheng Fan only cared about spending money; the solution was left to the Central Bank of Dadu.

Hong Yijia's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this: "Really?" Clearly, she hadn't considered that this was a joke at all.

"real."

However, Zheng Fan wasn't joking. The super spaceship was truly impressive—the size of a city, capable of long-term travel in the dark world, and equipped with a "planet-destroying cannon"—he wanted one too.

"Let's put this matter aside for now." Lin Yilin tapped the table, interrupting the two people's sudden delusions, and said, "The most crucial issue now is the Black World plan that we just mentioned."

"If all the things that have happened since last year were premeditated by the underworld, then the situation is quite serious when combined with the current circumstances."

When the topic shifted to this point, Hong Yijia also became a little more serious.

"The narrative from the Black World is quite different from that from the capital. Is this what each side considers the orthodox version of events, or is one of them lying?" Zheng Fan asked the first question he had after hearing about this from the Wolf Mother.

“That’s not important,” Hong Yijia replied.

"Regardless of whether other worlds, including the white world, originated from the black world, at least the white world cannot consider itself to have been born from the black world. If it does, it has already lost before it even begins."

Zheng Fan asked, "Because of human cognition?"

Lin Yilin nodded: "Only by recognizing that people are the foundation can the worldview of the white world exist stably. If, like those illusions, one regards oneself as a derivative and parasite of the black world, then this anchor will be easily crushed and swallowed up by the black world."

That's it. Who the source is doesn't matter at all. The key is that, no matter what, if white wants to exist, it must recognize its own existence.

Even if it's self-deception, it really works.
