Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 594 "The Wedding Robbery" Begins

"Undying?" Li Busi saw Li Meng getting out of a car at the entrance of the research institute. The other party greeted him with a hearty smile.

A radiant smile, one that he himself would never show, appeared on that face that resembled his own, but Li Busi remained as cold as ice.

Li Busi simply nodded slightly: "Xu Wenli is inside. You can find out his location yourself. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he planned to skip over it.

“We haven’t seen each other for so long, aren’t we going to catch up? I really missed you and Miaosheng on this trip.” Li Meng suddenly reached out and pressed down on Li Busi’s shoulder.

Li Busi's eyes widened suddenly, his shoulders jerked, he shook off his hand and took a step back: "What you just did..."

Li Meng maintained his bright smile and clapped his hands.

No problem. Not only is his body devoid of vitality, but even the skin on the hand that was just touched is still normal.

"You... also crossed that door?" Li Busi said, reaching out to stop Deville, who was trying to help him.

Li Meng lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the hand that had just touched Li Busi: "With such an excellent example as you in front of me, it's a bit too late to get this answer now."

"Tsk." Li Busi clicked his tongue loudly, took a step forward and looked his father in the eye at close range. "Even if you cross that door, different people will find different 'treasures'. Don't try to take advantage of me. Keep your distance. If you dare to touch me again, I'll break your hand."

After saying that, he took a few steps back, turned around, and left.

Deville silently followed. Li Meng shrugged and sighed, but the smile on his face remained unchanged. He looked at the students who had come with him and raised his eyebrows slightly: "They weren't raised well when they were young, and they're still rebellious in their adolescence."

Li Meng's students could only force a smile, not daring to admit that they had almost been so frightened by Li Busi's imposing aura that their crotches were slightly wet.

I hope the research institute's restrooms aren't too far away and that there aren't too many people there.

……

"Hmm, we were spotted as soon as we arrived on Lumière Street." Lin Yilin, who was driving, had already noticed this.

Of the five districts, Rue Lumière is undoubtedly the most unique. It is very close to the center and is the backyard of the White Society.

However, the happiness index of the people here seems to be very high, and generally speaking, nothing major goes wrong.

However, the local branch offices are not very comfortable. If something happens and it is ultimately traced back to the association, it becomes very difficult to continue.

On the one hand, they have a much easier time than other neighborhoods, but on the other hand, they have a very low case completion rate and the lowest evaluation among the five major gray neighborhood clusters of the bureau.

Rumors circulated that Lumière was completely controlled by the Pure White Society, with their surveillance and informants everywhere.

Lin Yilin learned from the Secret Transmission Agency that: yes, this was not a rumor, but a fact.

Just as they were about to officially enter the bustling area of ​​Lumière Street, several unpainted drones surrounded them.

“It’s not a drone from the processing bureau,” Fan Zhonghong reminded.

"Even a fool could see that what's next..." Before Lin Yilin could finish speaking, the drones opened fire.

Opening fire in the street, with other vehicles and pedestrians around, was fortunate that the Lumière Road was quickly repaired; otherwise, it would have turned into a pure massacre.

Several white talismans shot out and instantly destroyed the drones, while several Seeds of Light appeared in front of them to block their way.

Fan Zhonghong stood up in the back seat of the sports car, and the three little ones excitedly climbed up and clung to him. Fan Zhonghong didn't have time to pay attention to them and was about to make a move.

Lin Yilin suddenly switched to a special gear and slammed on the gas pedal, causing Fan Zhonghong to lose his balance and almost get thrown off.

Don't forget that this Luo Ye sports car is no ordinary vehicle. It is equipped with a device for traveling between worlds. At this moment, there is no need to travel between worlds. It is just a brief moment of entering this gear. The car and the people in the car instantly become blurry.

Swish!
The Seeds of Light ahead were fully prepared to intercept them, but all they saw was a crimson gust of wind that seemed to sweep past them as the sports car ignored all attempts to stop it and passed right through them.

They intercepted nothing!

"What the hell is that car?!"

"What are you standing there for, why are you chasing after them!"

"The target has crossed the first interception line and is passing through the Fourth Avenue intersection. Please be prepared for further action!"

Fan Zhonghong climbed up from the back seat: "Did you ever drive this fast before?!"

"I learned it from Sister Ye."

"It's probably best not to learn from her in a place like this," Fan Zhonghong said, looking troubled.

Lin Yilin looked ahead: "Let's not talk about that for now. There are too many nets ahead. We can't use this overclocking mode too often, or the car will be totaled very quickly."

“Then let’s use it until it’s scrapped, since it’s not our car anyway,” Zheng Fan said matter-of-factly.

Lin Yilin nodded: "Mr. Illusion is right."

After saying that, he shifted gears again.

The red shadow overtook and overtook again, until the interception net in front of them could no longer be called a speed bump. They just watched helplessly as a car drove past them.

Soon after, the overclocking mode could no longer be maintained, the car engine started to smoke, and the tires caught fire with a lot of sparks until they were completely ignited.

Suddenly, a figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the sports car.

The gray-haired man in the black coat raised his hand and flicked it, sending a gray-black gust of air rippled up the street and blew it towards the sports car.

Boom!

Amidst the smoke and dust, Fan Zhonghong burst out. Li Busi flashed in front of him, but before he could make a move, a green talisman was stuck to his forehead.

Wow!

The hurricane swept Li Busi's body away at an even faster speed, sending him crashing into a building.

The surrounding crowd scattered and fled. Fan Zhonghong took a few steps forward, when suddenly a dark blade of light flashed past and forced him back.

A slender figure, clad in light black armor, wearing a bamboo hat and a veil, held a long, straight, sharp sword in his hand, surrounded by black smoke, unlike a normal human.

It looks like... something that just fell off Li Busi when he flew away.

Li Busi dusted himself off and emerged unharmed from the rubble: "You've got some skill."

"It seems the wedding hasn't started yet," Fan Zhonghong said casually.

"You two are impossible," Li Busi said succinctly. "Li Miaosheng possesses potential that you cannot even imagine. She can open up entirely new possibilities for Dadu. At that time, even in the face of future dangers, Dadu will have more opportunities. Don't harm Dadu for your own selfish desires."

“Isn’t it because of the door on Miaosheng that’s the same as yours… no, it should be the opposite of yours?” Fan Zhonghong said.

“So you knew, that makes things even easier. Now step back. For her sake, I won’t kill you. After all, you and Miaosheng were childhood sweethearts, and I don’t want my sister to suffer too much in the end,” Li Busi said.

"You really are a brother-in-law, huh?" Fan Zhonghong grinned broadly upon hearing this. Li Busi frowned. "I'm not your brother-in-law. I've made my reasons very clear. Your personal feelings are nothing compared to this. You're from the central government, and this research can also benefit your family. Can't you even make this kind of choice?"

Fan Zhonghong's smile slowly faded: "That's why I have to go. As long as Miaosheng herself is unwilling, I will absolutely stand on her side. And she has to tell me herself."

"Tsk! Stubborn to the end." Li Busi clicked his tongue loudly in displeasure.

At the same time, another notification came through his earpiece. He pressed the earpiece and said, "Deville, something seems to have happened on the other side. Go check it out. It might be another accomplice."

"Hmm." There was only a muffled sound in the earphones before silence.

Li Busi then looked at Lin Yilin, who was hiding in a corner observing this place not far away. With a wave of his hand, another tall and strong figure separated from his body. This figure was different from the figure holding the knife. It was bound with chains, and the two ends of the chains were connected to two heavy and rusty longevity locks. The locks hit the ground with a muffled sound, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

"Then go die," Li Busi declared casually.

The two assassins activated instantly; the knife-wielding assassin rushed towards Fan Zhonghong, while the long-life lock assassin lunged at Lin Yilin in the distance.

……

Lu Chongming was stopped.

Although he had been very careful driving the van with Cheng Fei, the situation on Lumière Street seemed tense for some reason.

He was stopped by several local authorities on the roadside.

Lu Chongming quickly showed his identification after getting out of the car, which relaxed the other party a little, but the other party insisted on checking the small truck.

Just as he was getting a bit overwhelmed, suddenly, with the commotion in the distance, unpainted helicopters and experts who seemed to have sprung up from the ground all converged in a certain direction. Lu Chongming thought that it was probably Mr. Illusion and Ms. Lin Yilin's side that had started.

But... that's not what he cares about most.

"Aren't you going to do anything about this? Those are clearly drones and people that have been trained!" Lu Chongming pointed at the drones that were firing indiscriminately, which had already caused some innocent casualties.

“Kid, you’re from out of town, you don’t know the inside story here, it’s because that’s what we learned…” an older member of the bureau said with a frown.

"So you're scared?" Lu Chongming knew he was being incredibly stubborn at this point, and was even talking nonsense without any sense of the situation.

He wasn't a good person to begin with. Back then, he struggled to raise money to support his mother's treatment, doing whatever he could to earn money, and he even helped the strange hallucination more than once.

Joining the Bureau is still for the same goal.

but……

Things have changed somewhat.

Wang Shizhong's disgusting face flashed through my mind.

"Could you guys take a look at my car?" Lu Chongming suddenly said.

A drone was about to launch a missile in the distance when a flash of lightning struck it down.

The Lumière administration officers noticed in the blink of an eye that Lu Chongming had vanished and reappeared in the distance, holding a pistol that was crackling with electricity.

Lu Chongming began to clean up the drones.

"Well, there's definitely a reason why I was added to the group chat." He could only sigh helplessly to himself.

The Lumière administration staff looked at Lu Chongming as he did what he was supposed to do, and exchanged bewildered glances.

It wasn't until a younger, somewhat hesitant newcomer said, "Um... seniors, we wouldn't dare disobey the association... but helping those affected is within the normal scope, isn't it?"

These words did, however, slightly awaken them from their daze.

While Lu Chongming was dealing with the drone, he was targeted by two Seeds of Light.

I was initially under a lot of pressure, but once we actually started playing, I realized it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. I didn't even need to regenerate much; I could easily win.

It's not that these two unfinished Seeds of Light, who failed to become Lamplighters, are incompetent; they are still elite units after all.

However, Lu Chongming carried a heavy burden on his shoulders, and these burdens gradually led him, without him even realizing it, to a very, very long distance…

But after dealing with the two Seeds of Light who attacked him without a word, Lu Chongming had no time to be complacent about his significant progress.

Boom!
A tall figure landed on the street not far away.

A white suit, slicked-back hair, and a cold, sharp gaze fixed on Lu Chongming, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

This person... is simply not comparable to the two we just defeated!

Apart from Mr. Illusion, he had never felt such a terrifying aura again. If we were to say, perhaps Zhang Xue, who had released all the power she had accumulated in her daily life, could match him, but this person and Zhang Xue were also fundamentally different.

Even though she was dressed in white, she was still so cold that she seemed to have no warmth at all.

It's like a ray of light, just light, without any symbolism of brightness or warmth. It doesn't evoke any emotion in these tiny beings that are swept away and illuminated; it simply shines on them.

Calm down, Lu Chongming!

Lu Chongming snapped back to his senses and gripped his weapon tightly.

There's no need to be afraid. Believe in your own accumulated knowledge and growth. Even if you can't fight back, at least...

Facing forward, in the blink of an eye, the figure had vanished.

Lu Chongming was startled and quickly turned around and jumped away.

Whoosh!
A terrifying fist swept past his nose, and a powerful gust of wind still hit him in the face, sending him flying.

So strong!

Deville took a step forward and threw another punch.

Lu Chongming quickly regained his footing, fired forward, and as soon as the electric bullet was fired, he thrust his sword through it. The sword also emitted a burst of lightning that intersected with the electric bullet, and finally collided with Deville's fist.

boom!
A burst of lightning and white light erupted, and Lu Chongming fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and then got up somewhat disheveled.

Deville emerged from the light unharmed, but as he was about to continue his pursuit, he discovered... a slight numbness in his fingers.

His eyes narrowed as he saw the tangled electricity on his hand. He used a little force to dispel it before looking up and staring intently at Lu Chongming.

After flashing various colors, Lu Chongming's body returned to normal. His eyes widened; he had been observing the changes in Deville the entire time, so his earlier actions hadn't escaped his notice. He got the answer he wanted, and a striking smile spread across his face, bordering on ecstatic.

His movements were clear, and his reactions were quick enough. With a little more focus, even if his opponent had hidden strength, he could still handle it... Most importantly, his strength was indeed enough to injure his opponent!

Although the gap is huge, they are definitely capable of winning!
[Accumulation progress of mixed factors: 43%→43.3%→43.7%→44%]

In a corner he wasn't paying attention to, the absorption progress of the hybrid factor sent by the system to the former captain, which had been slowing down after thirty percent, began to accelerate.
