Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 604 The Lamp of Love

Mental imagery coverage!

Cheva quickly regained her composure. The specifics of the future of Shengzang were not her concern; her task was to oversee Li Miaosheng and ensure the wedding ceremony proceeded smoothly. She couldn't allow Li Miaosheng to run around freely. At worst, she could defeat her and then contact the chief to report and receive his decision.

When the pure white factor was not suppressed, and the opponent could only cause basic physical damage, the opponent's body could easily repair itself, while the lamplighter, although it had excellent regenerative ability, still had a very limited regenerative ability in situations where it suffered a lot of continuous damage, unless it was intentionally specialized.

The truth is that if Li Miaosheng wanted to, she would be completely unable to withstand the continuous onslaught of his new energy.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to launch a mental image overlay, striving for a quick victory and not allowing any delay.

"No."

dong dong——

Cheva's mental image did not unfold; instead, blood suddenly flowed from her seven orifices, and she let out a miserable scream. She saw a blank, semi-circular hole appear in Li Miaosheng's chest, from which a white, unidentified liquid flowed.

When her mental image unfolded and covered Li Miaosheng, it directly connected with that emptiness in a way that shouldn't have existed.

Then a tremendous shock emanated from the cave, extending along the connection to her mental image, and finally landing on Cheva herself.

Her mind quickly dissipated, and after a sway, her body collapsed weakly.

The lantern bearer, who held the position of a patrolman, was easily defeated before he could even unleash his full power, and he didn't even have time to activate his most important ability, the mental imagery coverage. The scene was quite comical.

Li Miaosheng's smile was gentle, but in the eyes of others, there was a lingering sense of mockery about him.

After Cheva collapsed, he didn't look at her much and continued skipping away.

Suddenly, Cheva, who was lying on the ground, shuddered, and a white pillar pierced through her back!

……

Gao Song, possessed by the black tree with his head covered by black branches, is recovering from his injuries.

Doris's hair was slightly disheveled, and the hem of her clothes was a little dirty.

"Finally... it's over. If it weren't for the fact that the source of your and Gao Song's power is the Seed of Light, this guy would be impossible to fight." Kuroki breathed slightly through Gao Song's body.

The suppressive power of the pure white factor on the lamplighter was too strong, especially after the opponent unleashed his power and used the white pillar ability on a large scale.

At this moment, the entire central park had transformed from a lush green forest into a park lined with white pillars. Looking around, the once refreshing greenery was now densely covered with even more white.

Once Deville realized the strength of Doris and Gao Song, he unleashed his mental imagery without reservation.

From this point on, Kuroki had basically reached his limit and was no longer able to keep up.

To be precise, Gao Song's body ended there; Gao Song's own Seed of Light did not advance further under Zheng Fan's catalysis like Doris did.

Although Kuroki possesses even stronger illusionary abilities, it's better for Gao Song to bear the burden herself when the lamplighter's mental imagery overwhelms her illusionary abilities. She's not some overpowered genius like Zheng Fan.

The remaining challenge was for Doris to hold a solo concert to compete with him, and after a long stalemate, she finally managed to win with great difficulty. Although Doris was not injured, she was quite exhausted.

Before my eyes, Deville's head had vanished; it had actually exploded after the concert. His body was kneeling on the ground, exhausted, but he didn't fall down easily; he just stood there frozen in place.

“So this is the Lamplighter…” Doris looked at Deville’s corpse.

This is the person the old nun mentioned more than once in front of them that she wanted to become.

If we were to place her in that dark suburban environment back then, no matter how much the old nun used the power of the lighthouse, she would be no match for Deville.

Suddenly, Doris frowned slightly: "Noise..."

The sound emanating from Deville did not end with the explosion of his head. It had indeed weakened initially, but just when Doris thought it would disappear completely with his life force, the sound actually increased instead of decreasing.

Does this lamplighter have another trick up his sleeve?
Kuroki couldn't help but tense up. Seriously? Again?
Deville's body trembled, then suddenly straightened up. A white pillar pierced through his chest, carrying his body into the air. With a flash of white light, Deville disappeared.

Doris: ?

Kuroki: ? ?

Did it... run away?

After waiting for a long time, Mora and Tao Zhi brought Lu Chongming to join them.

"What happened just now?"

"I don't know. It wouldn't be surprising if the lamplighter possessed powers we didn't understand." Doris shook her head and looked at Lu Chongming. "You must be Lu Chongming. What was that thing you said you'd give to Mr. Music?"

Lu Chongming was somewhat embarrassed: "It must have been that person who took it."

If something else had taken Cheng Fei away, it couldn't possibly have been something that tore the truck apart from the inside. But Zheng Fan hasn't even sent a single text message yet, which is really going too far.

This made Lu Chongming a bit withdrawn. After returning from a near-death experience, he suddenly said that the gift he was supposed to deliver had run away and even torn up the car he had rented.

Although he now earns a comfortable salary, his mindset in this regard is no different from when he was still struggling on the streets of Xixi Keke.

He had initially thought his bad luck had improved after his battle with Wang Shizhong... That damned Wang Shizhong, he kept saying that trials were useless! Is fate something you can test?!

Lu Chongming was in a bad mood, so he cursed Wang Shizhong in his heart. This way of relieving stress was very effective.

“In that case, staying here will only cause more trouble. Let’s go back to Dayun first,” Tao Zhi said.

"What is the Grand Canal?" "It's me." A cool-looking aircraft suddenly appeared next to everyone; it turned out it had been hiding nearby the whole time.

Lu Chongming was startled, but then confirmed that there was no one on the aircraft; it was the aircraft itself that was speaking.

The thing that was originally inanimate suddenly came to life and even seemed to have a distinct personality... This immediately made Lu Chongming look strange, and he thought of the days when he took care of those three... lively treasures in Zero One Agency, especially that Toast!

Honestly—I don't miss it at all!
"Sir, do you have a problem with me?"

"It's nothing, I just remembered some unpleasant memories, but it's definitely not directed at you."

"Then I guess you're thinking of my seniors or 'elder brothers'."

"So you were also one of those people who had surgery?"

"Yes, I was born because of an accident... someone planned everything so that no one could drive me. I should be grateful, but I also find it absurd. As for those predecessors, although we have never met, we have heard of them." Da Yun's mechanical electronic voice did not sound rigid, but rather vivid.

The members of the monastery band fell silent upon hearing this.

Especially blackwood.

Damn it, she thought this matter should have been over long ago! What's the point of an aircraft having such a good memory?
Sensing that it might involve the dark history of one of the big shots present, Lu Chongming wisely refrained from probing and boarded the aircraft with everyone else.

"By the way, why is it called the Great Fortune?" At this moment, Lu Chongming still asked a seemingly harmless question out of curiosity.

Actually, the name sounds quite auspicious. However, the style of the high-tech spaceship called "Da Yun" is clearly the work of Zheng Fan. Since it is the work of Zheng Fan, there must be some reason worth associating with it.

"Because everyone has a chance to win big," Dayun replied matter-of-factly.

Lu Chongming: "..."

Okay, I guess I shouldn't have asked.

……

Li Miaosheng immediately ran away after Chewa's body suddenly and strangely began to twitch and move. She had no intention of watching the cutscene and waiting for the boss to appear; realizing something was wrong, she ran away.

Li Miaosheng was an extraordinary woman.

She enjoys showing off, watching others be shocked and embarrassed by her, leaving them either only with admiration or wanting to retaliate but feeling helpless.

She knew the lady holding the lamp was there to protect her, or more precisely, to protect the wedding ceremony. If Li Miaosheng had simply said she needed to get to the scene instead of running away, this fight might have been avoided.

But Li Miaosheng just wouldn't say it; he just wanted to use Qiewa as a stepping stone to show off.

I'm really enjoying it now.

Back then, she pretended to be invincible throughout Sanzio University, until she tried to lure out the legendary Luo Ye by teasing Lin Yilin, only to be slapped to the ground by Luo Ye who arrived at the scene.

At that time, she and Ah Hong seemed more like random villains on the street...

No, she was slapped to the ground. Ah Hong surprised Luo Ye at the time and actually went through several rounds before Luo Ye finally fell asleep after he started hallucinating.

The one by the roadside is her, not Ah Hong.

Since then, Li Miaosheng has become even smarter.

If something goes wrong, run!
This lady lantern bearer suddenly seems ready to unleash her second phase; she's definitely not someone to mess with. Why stay here and watch her get up? Time to get out of here; business is more important.

Cheva stood up, the filth on her body swept away, and the headless corpse of Deville appeared beside her. But Cheva, without joy or sorrow, gently reached out and stroked it, and his head grew back.

However, Deville's slicked-back hair had fallen loose, and his suit was now tattered and ragged from the previous battle. His previous composed and elite demeanor was gone, replaced by a disheveled appearance.

Cheva didn't mind and gently hugged him, and Deville also hugged Cheva back.

The power of a lamplighter is related to their mental imagery. Lamplighters who are steadfast and persistent, and whose mental imagery is more active, often demonstrate greater strength.

However, having a lively mind conflicts with the role of a lamplighter.

When stationed in the face of endless darkness, what they need is silence and steadfastness in their principles.

At the same time, the activity of mental imagery will also accelerate the burning of the lamplighter's pure white factor when the mental imagery unfolds, shortening their "lifespan".

How to seek steady growth in strength amidst such contradictions has been a topic of study for the Pure White Society and the Lighthouse for many years. The monastery that nurtured Doris and her fellow disciples was a product of the brutal experimentation conducted in this uncontrolled and unrigorous environment.

However, among so many lamplighters, over such a long period of time, there will always be a few exceptional lamplighters who are able to break through this constraint.

Cheva and Deville can do that.

However, it is not something that they alone can achieve. Even if they were separated, they would be quite excellent lamplighters, especially Deville, whose combat ability is quite strong.

However, the combination of the two in times of crisis can produce the most crucial response.

And this is the core reason why the undying beacon valued and promoted them.

There is love between these two lamplighters.

This is the power of love!
