Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 596 The Dream of the Golden Iron Pot

Lu Chongming was in a daze, as if he were having a dream.

His body lay on the cold floor, his skin feeling a bone-chilling cold. He felt as if he were in a cabin on a ship, with only darkness passing by outside the window, occasionally punctuated by fleeting specks of color.

"here it is……"

He tried to get up, but his body was too weak and he could not move.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a huge, black object drifting past the window. The object looked like tentacles, but its texture was more like tree branches, yet softer.

Even from just a fleeting glimpse, Lu Chongming felt a chill run down his spine.

Upon seeing that thing, he also felt as if he were being observed in return.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. This unconsciously reminded Lu Chongming of this.

A figure walked past Lu Chongming.

He was a man dressed in a black suit with gold trim, resembling a naval uniform. His coat was tattered and worn. He exuded a decadent yet crazy and extreme aura.

The other man took off his navy cap, casually combed his messy hair, which looked like it hadn't been styled in a long time, and put the cap back on. He turned his face slightly to the side, allowing Lu Chongming to finally see his face clearly.

Even with a full beard and an unkempt appearance, the handsome features of a middle-aged man with sharp features cannot be concealed.

"The logbook of the Golden Iron Pot," he began. "Today marks the 7,231st day since the Golden Iron Pot left the White World. The recorder is still me, Jin Qunhou. After nearly twenty years of sailing, I have finally seen what I have longed for. I may be the first human to come before Him and see Him in person. Even though seeing Him made my head ache, and the fear that had been dormant for many years made me turn around and leave immediately, there was an even greater excitement above all that."

"I've been sailing this ship alone for twenty years, and I can't even remember why I embarked on this journey in the first place out of spite with those guys. But it's clear that this is the moment I've realized my self-worth."

The man paused. "I'm going to challenge Him. It's foolish, the consequences are obvious, but this is the end of the voyage, and the last entry in the logbook. Goodbye, world."

After saying that, he began to operate on the console.

The entire ship began to shake violently and accelerated as it plunged forward.

Boom!

Lu Chongming fully regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

"You're awake?" A young man wearing glasses and looking like a bookworm appeared before him. Lu Chongming recognized the face: "Tao Zhi from the monastery band!?"

Tao Zhi nodded, and couldn't help but admire, "You actually survived that head-on attack. If I hadn't heard your life force, I wouldn't have believed it at all."

"I am..." Lu Chongming was still a little confused. What was that dream he just had?
Captain Jin Qunhou? The Golden Iron Pot?

So, the things described in the system that landed on him weren't just made up? Was there really such a person and such a super spaceship?
He sailed into the depths of the dark world with his Golden Iron Pot, and after nearly twenty years of sailing alone, he finally saw "the end of the world".

That thing...

Just thinking about it gave Lu Chongming a headache. He was terrified just by seeing a single tentacle, and his head felt like it was being drilled. How could that person actually dare to steer his boat towards that thing?

"Where is that guy?" Lu Chongming asked Tao Zhi, snapping out of his reverie.

You mean the lamplighter?

"The lamplighter?" Lu Chongming was taken aback, then his expression turned somewhat horrified. "The lamplighter!?"

Tao Zhi was dumbfounded: "Dude, you didn't even know who the other person was before you started fighting him?"

"Holy crap, if I'd known he was the lamplighter, I would have run away already!"

Lu Chongming personally experienced what it means to be fearless in ignorance. He didn't know who his opponent was, only that he was a very powerful expert. After testing the waters and finding that he could fight, he went up to fight!
That guy is such a tightwad, he didn't utter a single word all day. Couldn't he have started by using his status to intimidate people like a proper villain would? If he had done that, Lu Chongming definitely wouldn't have dared to act rashly. He would have gone back and brought out Cheng Fei to summon Zheng Fan. Why would he have been so stubborn?

"So who's with him now...?"

“Of course, it’s the two best fighters in our family.” Tao Zhi and Lu Chongming looked through the crowd towards Lumière Central Park.

……

After smashing Lu Chongming flat, Deville suddenly detected something invisible moving at high speed in the distance. Surprisingly, Lumière's air defense radar didn't detect it.

So he went up and tried to manually intercept it, and then he hit the jackpot.

It was hit hard by a spacecraft named "Dayun".

Of course, this impact was no big deal for him; the important thing was the people getting off the aircraft.

They are Seeds of Light, and two Seeds of Light with obvious impurities on their bodies. They can no longer be called Seeds of Light; they are completely polluted mixed seeds.

This kind of thing is absolutely taboo for most people. It's blasphemy!

Even those who do not subscribe to the doctrine of pure white must acknowledge the importance of the lighthouse to the capital, and to acknowledge the importance of the lighthouse is to be unable to tolerate its existence!
The great war was about to break out.

Mora goes to deal with the other Seeds of Light, Tao Zhi takes charge of being the central hub for all of them, while Doris and Gao Song face this not-so-simple Lamplighter.

It would be a stretch for Gao Song to intervene in the battle between Doris and Deville on his own, but this time, Kuroki came with Gao Song.

Knowing that they were coming to cause trouble for the Pure White Society, Kuroki also ended his illusory retirement life and came to support Gao Song.

That should be sufficient.

Lu Chongming's lips twitched as he watched the white pillars continuously falling from the sky, the black vines growing ever from the forest, and Doris playing the violin.

Is this what it looks like when these monsters unleash their full firepower?

He really still needs to practice...

"I still need to deliver something to Mr. Illusion."

"I'll go with you. It's my ability to help you out."

"Is everything alright?" Lu Chongming glanced at Tao Zhi, who was constantly tapping on a tablet in his hand.

Tao Zhi shook his head: "It's not a big problem. Sometimes, all you need to do is plan your strategy. My teammates are very strong, so I don't need to micromanage. Even if there are any problems, my perception range can cover the entire central area of ​​Lumière Street."

Dude, even though your combat abilities are lacking, your support skills are just too overpowered...

Lu Chongming knew the monastery band was no ordinary band, but their average skill level made him pale in comparison.

The two returned together to the location where Lu Chongming had originally driven the small truck.

One of the local bureau members who had previously stopped Lu Chongming was still at the scene. It was the newcomer who hesitated to speak after seeing Lu Chongming return.

"Where are the others?" Lu Chongming asked.

"They went to help the wounded and try to minimize the losses," the newcomer quickly replied.

Lu Chongming nodded and sighed, "You guys have it tough too." Indeed, no sooner had they meddled than a lantern bearer appeared out of nowhere. Lu Chongming could understand them now.

The newcomer blinked, not understanding what Lu Chongming was saying, then stammered as he looked at Lu Chongming's car: "Um, Mr. Lu, your car..."

"What happened? Were you affected? It's alright, as long as the things inside are okay." Lu Chongming waved his hand casually.

“That doesn’t seem to be the problem,” Tao Zhi interrupted him.

The two approached the car and fell silent.

Something inside the small truck seemed to burst out from the back, tearing the rear of the truck open like a blooming flower.

"Is this car yours?" Tao Zhi asked Lu Chongming, who was silent beside him.

"...This is the place I rented."

Lu Chongming raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, and looked up at the gloomy sky, bravely refusing to let the tears fall.
