Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 586 Danger Approaching
A pet hospital on Stanley Street.

Gao Song watched as the veterinarian removed parasites from his newly adopted rabbit.

This is a round, chubby brown rabbit that he kept in his spare time after receiving permission. As for its name, after a vote by others, it was named Lania.

A girl who had a profound influence on Doris and others in the past while she was in the convent.

Gao Song originally wanted to complain, after all, rabbits only live that long. To name a pet after a deceased relative or friend is to make that "relative or friend" die before you again.

But since everyone said it would allow the little rabbit to live longer, Gao Song let them decide.

Gao Song and Lania were not familiar with each other. Although she had tried to get close to him before, Gao Song still preferred his little white rabbit back then.

At the same time, to avoid giving the old woman any malicious intentions, he always kept his distance from the other children.

At that time, he never dreamed that he would come to Dadu with other people, form a band together, and sing and dance every day...

This kind of life isn't bad; it would be wonderful if it could continue indefinitely.

However, Gao Song, the deadpan comedian in the band, is actually a pessimist at heart. This leisurely band life may be difficult to sustain for long.

It wasn't an internal problem for them, but rather an influence from Dadu (Beijing).

Their fame was at its peak, but it also attracted too much attention. Although the music master and Ms. Lin Yilin handled things very well when they first arrived in Dadu, those handling methods would probably be hard to justify if someone with ulterior motives examined them closely.

Yes, tracing someone's origins in a gray neighborhood is a stupid thing to do. Gray neighborhoods can't even do a proper census, so how can you expect someone's origins to be clear?

But the problem lies with the monastery band and the other children with them, who came from the lighthouse.

The pure white lighthouse and the society behind it are both lingering shadows.

No matter how deeply you dig into their resumes, you won't find any problems directly. At most, you'll discover some gaps. Ordinary forces can be protected by their agencies, but if the Lighthouse and the Society suddenly decide to focus their attention on them and start investigating, that would be very troublesome.

Those guys don't care about chains of evidence; they'll investigate whenever they want, and they might even take action against the band members directly.

What we need to do now is not worry about these things, but enjoy the present moment as much as possible.

After waiting for the little brown rabbit Lania to finish deworming, Gao Song put the rabbit into the pet spaceship and prepared to go back.

The rain didn't affect him much, which is why he chose to come at the scheduled time.

It's more important to take good care of the rabbit.

At the entrance of the pet hospital, Gao Song looked at the heavy rain and thought that he probably wouldn't be able to get a taxi. When he came, the rain wasn't this heavy, but it hadn't stopped raining and had instead gotten heavier. He should accept Tao Zhi's offer to drive him.

He'll be fine going back in this heavy rain, but Rabbit might be scared.

Ok?
He suddenly saw a car approaching on the rainy road, its headlights flashing brightly in high beam.

Gao Song raised an eyebrow and gently placed the pet carrier in a sheltered corner.

The next moment, a gust of wind swept by, and the raindrops falling from the sky were briefly blown sideways.

Whoosh!
A figure appeared behind Gao Song and raised his hand to strike, but Gao Song kicked him away with a sideways movement.

"Fans? Sorry, this isn't business hours." Gao Song watched the other person rolling around in the rain, then walked out from under the eaves and down the steps. He took out his phone, sent a quick message, and then put his phone away.

After a brief pause, the opponent charged at Gao Song again.

Gao Song raised his hand to block the opponent's fist, then slapped the opponent across the face with his backhand. He then suddenly leaped up and, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's stance faltered, delivered a spinning kick to the neck.

Snapped!
The figure quickly disappeared into the rain without a sound.

boom!
Gunshots rang out, and Gao Song quickly moved aside. A bullet landed at his feet. He turned his head and saw the car speeding towards him. One person was firing at him with a submachine gun, while another person, his body ablaze with blue flames, was closing in on him.

He had no choice but to kick a large chunk of ground at the car, and when he turned around, he saw the man with the blue flames dodging the rock and firing a barrage of fireballs.

The flames did not react to the rain, but the sudden explosion still exhibited unusual heat.

Gao Song raised his arms and engaged in a straightforward fighting stance with Qing Yan Nan.

This person's output ability is impressive, but his personal qualities are not outstanding. After a few rounds, Gao Song seized on the opponent's oversight and the part of the blue flame that was not fully covered. He threw a few punches in succession, causing the opponent to curl up. Finally, he punched the opponent in the face and knocked him to the ground.

The stones brought the car to a stop, and the other people quickly jumped out and launched a fierce attack on Gao Song without saying a word.

Gao Song's eyes darted around quickly, and he moved freely amidst the attack of multiple people.

"Damn it, isn't he really low on the list?! Why are my enchanted bullets completely useless against him?!" the gunman cursed.

"This list isn't a ranking of strength! This guy is definitely weird!" Before he could finish speaking, Gao Song seized the opportunity to break his leg and stomp on him.

"I've encountered enthusiastic fans in groups before, but your level is indeed slightly higher, mainly because you are quite disciplined. Who sent you?"

what--!
Suddenly, a sharp shriek rang out in the rain, and the visible sound waves materialized and struck Gao Song directly, sending him flying.

Gao Song stopped in his tracks and saw a woman dressed in a gothic style.

what--!
Another shriek rang out, and the opponent appeared in front of Gao Song as if in a flash, tearing at him mercilessly with long, manicured nails that were sharp and manicured.

After Gao Song blocked a few attacks, his body was once again subjected to pressure by the opponent's scream at close range. This time, he was directly caught in a strange stalemate and found it quite difficult to move.

The woman raised her thick-soled boots high, her body twisting like a juggler, and kicked at Gao Song's face with a gray, pulsating spike.

Gao Song adjusted himself perfectly, crossed his arms, and blocked the woman's kick with a loud "thump." Instead of advancing, he retreated and grabbed her slender ankle. "Ah..."

Before the woman could even open her mouth, Gao Song pulled her with his hand, lifted his leg, and kicked her in the face.

He slammed her to the ground while stopping her from speaking, and was about to finish her off with a punch, thus ending the woman's bizarre abilities.

Whoosh!
A figure suddenly cut in from his side.

Gao Song quickly turned around and changed the direction of his fist, but was grabbed and held down by his opponent. His knee counterattack was also anticipated and blocked. In the end, the opponent used softness to overcome hardness and completely deflected Gao Song's force, and then turned his hands and hit Gao Song himself.

Bang!
With a muffled thud, Gao Song was sent flying backward, but he was unharmed. His slightly surprised expression quickly returned to normal.

"There are so many surprises. I didn't know our fans were of such high quality."

The gothic girl, who had just been stomped on the face by Gao Song, was helped up by Shen Baitong. Her voice was sharp and tearful as she cried out, "Baitong! He slapped my face! And stepped on me! That's so mean! Would a normal person just slap me in the face?!"

"Shut up, Qiqi. I told you not to yell next to me," Shen Baitong said impatiently, taking a few steps forward to face Gao Song.

"Interesting. What ability did you just use? Normally, those two palm strikes would have blown your lungs apart, but you weren't injured at all. Rain? You changed the rain?"

Gao Song said calmly, "I feel like I've seen your face somewhere before."

"Hmm...not bad, even a celebrity like you remembers my face. That's good." Shen Baitong suddenly smiled with satisfaction, "This is just the beginning. In the future, the entire capital will remember my name."

"Sir, what great achievement are you about to accomplish?" Gao Song asked.

"Because I will soon become so strong that no one can ignore me!" Shen Baitong clenched his fist.

Gao Song glanced at his wrist, just his wrist; he didn't have the habit of wearing a watch. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. Being out in the rain isn't a good plan."

“You are calm and confident. You can crush everyone except me with your physical abilities alone. You certainly have reason to be confident,” Shen Baitong laughed. “But it doesn’t matter. I will peel back your confidence layer by layer and see the secrets you hide deep inside. Not just you, but the entire band.”

"..." Gao Song looked at him without saying anything, but Shen Baitong could feel that the nonchalant atmosphere around him had lessened.

"Very good. Although people often say that words are powerless, they are actually quite useful. So, what's next..."

Suddenly, Shen Baitong threw a punch that sent a beam of white light flying towards the entrance of the pet hospital.

Lania the rabbit is right there!
The rain stopped.

It wasn't a weather-related stop in the rain sense, but rather a literal one. The torrential rain that was falling suddenly seemed to be paused, with the slender raindrops frozen in mid-air.

Snapped!
The shockwave, which was originally unstoppable, crashed into the frozen raindrops, exploded, and dissipated halfway.

Gao Song had already positioned himself in front of the little rabbit, Lania. Shen Baitong, however, forcefully smashed through the dense, solidified raindrops and charged towards Gao Song.

The two clashed in the frozen rain.

From the brief exchange, Gao Song realized that this person was extremely strong, possessing skills and power in close combat that surpassed his own.

So he used the Seed of Light without hesitation.

Beep beep!

At that moment, a device inside Shen Baitong's clothes also started to ring.

"Hahaha! You really are the Seed of Light, Gao Song!" Shen Baitong laughed loudly.

Gao Song's face was cut by the force of Shen Baitong's punches, and blood flowed from his mouth. Even changing the raindrops couldn't stop Shen Baitong's blows, and he inevitably took several hits, spitting out blood. Although he could blend into the rain to avoid the attack, there were rabbits behind him.

"What a beast, using a cute rabbit as a hostage?" Even so, he said in a calm and even voice.

"So what if they're rabbits? Even if they're humans, it doesn't matter; they're just stepping stones for me!"

Shen Baitong deliberately created some distance to give Gao Song some leeway, or rather, it was Gao Song's own desire to show off that began to swell.

"My 'killing skill' comes from my 'first murder' check-in, and it has made me invincible ever since! It's just that back then, I was too weak to choose my grandma as my first target. Ha, I've had my eye on that troublesome old hag for a long time!"

Shen Baitong spread her arms wide, her smile arrogant: "I'm very grateful to this system. It has liberated my true nature! I am the 'protagonist' it chose!"

Gao Song breathed slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Oh."

"Tsk, whatever." Shen Baitong was a little annoyed. "People only have room to maneuver when they are strong, and when they are at a disadvantage, they either fall silent or become hysterical. You seem to be the former."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and unleashed a burst of speed at close range, thrusting his elbow forward with a determination to take down Gao Song directly.

The violin music suddenly began, and a beautiful figure flashed through the rain, seizing the momentary opening and severing his head with a single sword stroke.

The face, writhing in laughter, shot into the sky, only to be pinned to the ground by the rain.

The rain continued to fall, and Gao Song nodded slightly to the figure in front of him to indicate that he was alright.

Seeing this, Doris turned away without saying a word.

Others couldn't see Doris's face through the rain, but they could feel a... chilling sensation.

The violin playing in the rain produced a jarring and depressing melody.
