Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 660 will bring...

Lu Chongming never dreamed he would one day go to jail... no, he could actually have imagined it. Even when he was first plagued by hallucinations, he had thought about being arrested and imprisoned.

However, compared to the humiliating imprisonment he initially envisioned, being personally arrested by the Undying Beacon sounds somewhat more prestigious and dignified.

But I still feel so frustrated.

How come after I walked back from the brink of death, killed a spokesperson, and saved many people, I was immediately thrown into jail by one of the leaders here?
Although he was indignant, Lu Chongming surrendered without resistance.

Anyway, he can go back to the city and board the Golden Iron Pot anytime now.

The Undying Lighthouse came prepared and had no intention of reasoning with them. The Prism Force was also watching nearby, and the Central Committee and the Lighthouse stood together on that occasion.

Direct resistance is not a good thing for the authorities.

Even if the Bureau has a trump card, it's still too unrealistic to fight both of them head-on. They need to break them down into smaller parts and disperse them to have more opportunities.

For a moment, everyone dared not speak out in anger. Even when Zhou Yinzhu and Bai Shi stepped forward to speak, the Undying Lighthouse left after making its statement. Their words were utterly powerless and had no effect whatsoever.

"This cell is quite nice. After all, it's a designated level criminal from the Undying Lighthouse, so it can't be neglected too much." Zheng Fan's face hung upside down from the ceiling, looking rather eerie.

However, after seeing Zheng Fan appear, Lu Chongming felt a little relieved, but he did not make any move, because his every move was being monitored.

Although, being discovered in this situation wouldn't help.

Who dares to defend Lu Chongming against the accusations leveled by the Undying Lighthouse? Who can defend him? These accusations are nothing more than a death sentence for Lu Chongming.

The reason for not killing him on the spot was probably because of some consideration, perhaps to make an example of him to deter others and to suppress the authorities, or perhaps for some other deeper reason.

Perhaps he should relax a little more? Lu Chongming felt somewhat helpless as the thought of giving up popped into his mind.

“You can relax a bit. Just speak in your mind. I can hear you.” Zheng Fan crawled down from the white ceiling like some kind of ghost, twisting his limbs, before adjusting his body after landing.

Zheng Fan moved his joints and walked to the transparent glass wall next to him, reaching through it and then pulling his hand back.

"The control and investigation of the Bureau of Investigation began immediately after your arrest. Even all the regional chiefs were restricted from traveling and moving around. The reason was quite reasonable: this is the Central District, and the Bureau of Investigation and Investigation has no need to operate in this way."

After thinking for a moment, Zheng Fan randomly picked a starting point and began, "As for the factory and all the survivors and participants in the opening incident, they have all been detained for investigation. This includes the President and the End Society that assisted you. The Pure White Society and the Tide Society are doing alright, but they don't care; they would never defy their superiors. Oh, by the way, the Tide Society has taken full responsibility for this incident and just issued a statement this morning, preparing to disband completely."

"Huh?" Lu Chongming was stunned for a moment, and a sound of surprise and doubt came to his mind.

This is... being made a scapegoat.

Even though there are clearly shadowy figures from the underworld operating in the Central District, and the body of the black cult's holy son is still shrouded in mystery, this side only intends to settle things peacefully for now.

Could it be that the central interest group and the beacon made some kind of exchange of interests? "In addition, the central meeting has been brought forward. Originally it was going to be held for several days, but now it has been moved to tomorrow. Of course, this is the joint decision of the beacon and the central government. As for your execution, at least the beacon intends to go through the motions of what it said, perhaps after the meeting, or perhaps on the day of the meeting, as an example to provoke everyone."

"They're not going to give us any chance at all, not even let us get on stage."

“That’s your situation. From now until the rally starts tomorrow, you have less than a day. All the key personnel are restricted, and the branch office’s forces can’t arrive in time. Even if Zhou Yinzhu and Bai Shi find a chance to act alone, the chances are slim. That’s all. You have too few cards to play.” Zheng Fan took out a few fingertip nuclear bombs and juggled them in his hands.

Lu Chongming restrained himself with a blank expression, slowly clenching his fists.

"There are still too few people. Compared to the Lighthouse and the Central Government, our strength is still too weak."

Zheng Fan caught all the fingertip nuclear bombs without letting them touch him, then put them away: "Your calmness is beyond my expectations. The training was indeed not fake. If you had really made a move back then, I wouldn't have been able to save you so easily. That guy could see me."

"The Undying Lighthouse can see Mr. Illusion!?"

"Yes, he can see it, and he sees it completely, unlike you who can only see a little bit. That made me react immediately. But he probably realized what kind of existence I was right away, and then he blocked out his perception of me."

"I see, if he hadn't done that..."

“If I hadn’t done that, I would have just forcibly taken his body. Although he’s somewhat special, he’s still within the realm of consciousness entities I can attach myself to. He’s really decisive. Clearly, blocking out one’s senses is a dangerous thing; after all, seeing danger and then forgetting or ignoring it is obviously not the best strategy. But compared to the potential threat I might pose, he chose his first instinct. Is this the keenness and reaction of this legendary lamplighter? Not bad.” Zheng Fan gave a slight compliment to the Undying Lighthouse.

Unseen by Lu Chongming, Zheng Fan and the Undying Beacon had already engaged in a small-scale offensive and defensive maneuver.

Although Zheng Fan did nothing, Lord Bu Mi Deng Shao did a truly brilliant defense.

"The Bureau has done a good job, it's just that the timing was bad and they were overwhelmed by the complicated relationships. Now it's up to us. Everyone is very well prepared, even if the gathering is brought forward, it won't affect your preparations. After I told you about your situation, everyone has already set off... or rather, many people have been itching to get started."

In Lu Chongming's eyes, Zheng Fan revealed a rather sinister smile as he spoke, just like a villain marked as a suspect in a detective anime.

The sudden appearance of this slightly exaggerated, ferocious, and somewhat comical expression sent a chill down Lu Chongming's spine.

Mr. Illusion never hides his likes and dislikes; even the bad things he says in jest may eventually become reality in a sudden whim.

If he really goes on a rampage, he really doesn't care what will happen to most of them.

All he cared about were the people living in the capital.

"Mr. Illusion, what will you bring to the capital?" he asked silently in his heart.

"Fireworks, cannon salutes, performances, music, cheers..." Zheng Fan shook his head, his tone light and unruly.

"All of these together constitute a baptism."
