Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 589 "On Dadu"

Zheng Fan was wondering what this man would suddenly do, but he just died on his own, completely and utterly, his entire body turning to ashes, leaving only scattered pieces of clothing on the ground.

Most things these days are getting stranger and stranger.

"What exactly does he do?"

"It seems like they were sent by the Pure White Society to investigate us." Doris kicked away the pieces of his clothes, revealing the monitoring device that had long since become tattered.

"Then am I too late?" Zheng Fan glanced down. "With a transmitting device, all the information it senses will be sent out simultaneously. Your message should have already been sent out."

Doris frowned slightly upon hearing this, and sighed, saying, "There's nothing we can do about it. The band may have to end here."

“That’s not how it works.” Zheng Fan shook his finger. “The Pure White Society has recently planned many similar operations. The investigation into you is just one of them. Although they can receive information, they are currently mired in their own problems and have too many things to deal with to take action against you casually.”

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Besides, the Seed of Light isn't exactly a scandalous matter that's worth mentioning. Even if it were released, no one would understand what they're talking about."

Doris could sense that Mr. Music was trying to comfort her.

Although Doris wanted to say that she wasn't really sad, because she had had her fill of fun, she felt reluctant to let go of the ending, but it wasn't too hard to let go.

At the same time, what she was most worried about was not the negative news, but the endless harassment that the other side might carry out after finding out about this, and their constant attacks on them.

"They've already sent this person..." Doris looked at the tattered clothes on the ground, feeling speechless.

"This must be an accident," Zheng Fan chuckled. "This person didn't put any pressure on you, did he?"

"If he hadn't resorted to underhanded tactics, he probably wouldn't have been able to beat Gao Song at the beginning—I'm not trying to belittle Gao Song." Although Gao Song wasn't present, Xiao Yang still clarified.

"Such a drastic change in strength? Has he also been possessed by illusions?"

Doris denied it: "I didn't feel any hallucinations. It was like I was completely renewed inside and out after dying once. According to Gao Song's description, it was an epiphany."

"Is this the legendary breakthrough in battle after transcending life and death? It feels a bit cheap to break through with such a stiff resurrection," Zheng Fan said.

In truth, Zheng Fan did glean something from this man when he saw him before his death. Aside from the identical wholesale system's influence, this man did indeed gain something from a real death.

Zheng Fan was somewhat curious.

He possessed Cheng Fei when Cheng Fei was on the verge of death, turning Cheng Fei into "God Cheng Fei". However, the physical compatibility was not high, and the body that escaped death was also tainted with some kind of negative characteristics, making him feel extremely disgusted every time he used it.

Why is it that this person's near-death experience resulted in a breakthrough of enlightenment, while Cheng Fei, the Great God, has to be constantly pushed to higher levels? The biggest problem is that all that pressure is being applied to Zheng Fan!

unfair.

However, the information ends here, and no immediate conclusions were reached on this topic.

Zheng Fan told Doris why he had come to remind the sheep and the others, as well as the current situation of the Pure White Society.

Without much thought, Doris replied, "If we can destroy the Pure White Society this time, then everyone will be safe!"

Zheng Fan was stunned when he saw the little sheep come up with a very correct answer so quickly.

Violence is indeed one of the fundamental logics of humanity.

“That makes sense. It would be best to resolve it, but Dadu probably wouldn’t allow it. After all, it’s a very important institution.” “Then shouldn’t Mr. Music consider taking down Dadu?” Little Sheep was eager to try, her sparkling eyes practically saying, “She’s been waiting for this moment for a long time. She’s just waiting for your order to lead the charge and seize the highest position in Dadu.”

Zheng Fan unexpectedly felt the pressure from others' expectations, and couldn't help but feel ashamed as he reached out and rubbed the lamb's head.

"Ah ah ah..." The lamb made an unintelligible bleating sound, seemingly quite comfortable.

“It’s not that simple. I don’t intend to take responsibility for Dadu, but I have to take responsibility for you. If the current regime in Dadu collapses and a large-scale war breaks out, then a series of troubles will keep popping up.” Zheng Fan crossed his arms, looking somewhat troubled. “I’m currently studying hard on the ability to manipulate the human subconscious in order to create love and peace.”

“What an amazing ability,” Doris exclaimed.

"Right?" Although he still had no clue, it didn't stop Zheng Fan from standing tall with his head held high and his nose in the air.

“However, the most convenient thing would be to find a group of trustworthy people to manage the capital.” Doris once again demonstrated the wisdom befitting a member of the Seed of Light.

After encountering Zheng Fan, Xiao Yang mostly acted cute and pretentious, playing the role of a "Lin Daiyu" who could "uproot a willow tree" for so long that he almost forgot that this was a top-tier elite military unit in Dadu that had received extremely harsh education since childhood.

“Yes,” Zheng responded.

Just like in the mechanical world, helping a faction that you find agreeable, has a clear strategy, and is decent to succeed in one step is a very useful approach.

It's clearly the kind of extraordinary wisdom that comes from someone with superhuman strength.

You can't use super intelligence to command super power; you have to use super power to make your actions appear as super intelligence that no one can refute!

This is true mastery of both literary and martial arts.

“Mr. Music has a good relationship with the Bureau, right? I heard Mr. Music say before that everyone in the Bureau is very nice. We met many of them during our tour, and we even met Miss Hong Yi from Nolan Street. She is already very outstanding in the capital.” Doris suggested based on her previous observations.

Look at this little lamb, it's already starting to make arrangements for Dadu.

"It's unclear whether the bunch of brutes in the Handling Bureau can handle it, and I haven't even met anyone from the head office of the Handling Bureau yet, to be precise, I've only met one deputy director. But they are indeed good candidates." Zheng Fan thought of his noisy, stiff-faced, and serious-looking father, Deputy Director Hong.

I think there was a previous suggestion that he might be promoted to a permanent position.

"If possible, I should learn more about the central government and see if there's anything I can negotiate... The Dadu Financial Alliance seems pretty good too," Zheng Fan thought again.

Although "Central" usually refers to the highest authority in the capital, there are naturally other forces within this vast region, each undoubtedly representing a corner of the capital's power. The General Administration of the Bureau of Administrative Procedures is one of them.

Who is Financial Alliance?

"The core entity is Dadu Bank, specifically my financial backer, who probably has a good relationship with Luoye. They haven't caused any trouble even after I've been taking their money for so long, so they're obviously good people," Zheng Fan said generously and magnanimously, while also showing off his black card.

"Oh, oh." Doris was impressed but didn't quite understand.

Zheng Fan also put away his playful mood and said more seriously, "In any case, we must solve the problem of Pure White Learning first."

"Yes!" Doris nodded with a smile.

And so, the fate of most of them was planned out by these two things, one speaking to the other, in this remote and secluded mountain valley.
