Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 667 "The Fake Dog Cannon"

The sound came from the darkness, like a ghostly summons. Even though it was indistinct, one could clearly feel something lurking in the darkness.

"Who...are you? Why are you here...why are you asking about...this matter?" the hoarse voice asked slowly.

Everyone else who had been answering Lin Yilin's questions turned pale and shrank back into the depths of the room, no longer daring to utter a sound.

Lin Yilin remained unfazed: "And who are you? Why are you staying at this police station? Is what they're saying something so taboo?"

The voice paused, then said something completely unrelated: "Cats... I hate cats."

In an instant, a purple light flashed through the darkness.

Lin Yilin's eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly turned her head. A black crystal shard grazed her cheek, leaving a faint bloodstain.

This crystal is... the power of a proxy used by Li Miaosheng's adoptive father at Fan Zhonghong and Li Miaosheng's wedding!

Eyeless dog.

A guy associated with the Spokesperson suddenly appeared at the Central District Police Station? And it seems he's specifically there to keep watch?

What exactly happened to Dadu?
A powerful gust of wind swept towards her, and plant patterns appeared on Lin Yilin's body. Her eyes turned gray and white in the blink of an eye, and she quickly raised her hand to grab the attacking claw. After securing it with both hands, she turned around and slammed the opponent directly against the iron bars of the cell next to her.

Bang!
The iron bars broke, and the man fell into the cell but quickly got up. Amidst the flashing purple light, a large number of purple crystals rushed towards him.

Lin Yilin glanced at the maintenance workers huddled together in the cell behind her, and quickly grabbed all the crystals with one hand and crushed them.

Just as the opponent was about to attack again, a black earthworm suddenly rushed out of the surrounding darkness and bit all the joints of his limbs, thus controlling his movements.

Immediately following was a violent tremor that extended from the earthworms to the target.

Boom!

A corner of the police station was shattered by the violent tremors, and bright sunlight shone into the dark special detention cell, revealing the person's appearance.

A somewhat thin and tall person, with a hunched back that arched backward, looked almost inhuman. His limbs were long and slender, and purple crystals condensed at his limbs, transforming into crystalline beast claws that replaced his human limbs.

Like Li Meng, who was transformed into a dog without eyes at the time, his eyes were covered by purplish-black wing-like membranes that grew from the sides of his head.

Having withstood such a concentrated shock, fine cracks appeared on the opponent's body, and the body trembled, but overall, there was no major injury, only a minor one.

"Its physical body is very strong, even comparable to Adam's. It doesn't seem very rational, but its combat instincts are very sharp. It reacts quickly whenever it's on the defensive, and its combat efficiency is also very high." Lin Yilin sized it up and commented with slightly narrowed eyes.

Unlike Li Meng's temporary summoning and possession, the "eyeless dog" on this person's body is clearly more mature and powerful.

Moreover, there's something even more amiss.

The moment Zheng Fan had this thought, the eyeless dog-man in front of him slowly crossed his hands in front of his chest, seemingly in the starting position of some kind of move.

Lin Yilin's expression shifted slightly.

it's dark.

The bright sky that had just appeared was suddenly filled with black again, plunging into the night. A bright, white full moon hung high in the center of the sky, but it did not bring much light to the earth below.

Purple mist permeated the air, and from time to time, the sound of some wild beast galloping could be heard from beneath the heavy fog.

"This is!?" Lin Yilin couldn't help but exclaim inwardly, rarely losing her composure. Unfortunately, in such a cute situation, it wasn't the person controlling this body who was actually in it, so her astonished expression couldn't be seen.

But then again, what this eyeless dog-man is showing at this moment is undoubtedly—mental imagery overlay.

The Lamplighters possess the distinctive ability to express their thoughts concretely through the bleaching properties of the Pure White Factor. This ability, however, has now manifested in an individual connected to the spokesperson of the Dark World!

However, this is not surprising at all.

After all, last night, a representative of the Black World who could absorb pure white factors appeared. Now, with another guy showing up who can use the Lantern Bearer's signature skill, it seems they're not entirely satisfied.

"Information reading invalid..." After trying, Lin Yilin grinned slightly. "I knew it, the source of this thing isn't the Black World at all!"

Zheng Fan possesses the ability to read basic information about this world. As long as he keeps raising his perspective and even removes the limitations of human form and thought, he has no doubt that he can achieve a certain kind of "omniscience" in the world of "trees".

This fundamental ability to "understand oneself" cannot be disturbed or interrupted, regardless of the situation, unless Zheng Fan himself chooses not to use it.

But now it's been completely covered up by this strange "mental image".

Here, all one can rely on are the basic senses that this body possesses.

But in this state, do we still have to deal with a strange and ominous representative entity that seems ominous? This is a major crisis!

Whoosh!
The amethyst claws slashed through the mist, and "Lin Yilin" tilted her head slightly, allowing the claws to glide precisely past her ear. The opponent's movements swept through the purple mist, stirring it and leaving a trail of motion that resembled afterimages intertwined with purple ribbons, creating a visually striking effect. However, this purple mist was the same material as the purple crystal the opponent was using.

A special energy crystal that does not belong to this world. With such a high concentration of dust, an ordinary person would die the moment they inhale this crystalline dust in their mind.

Lin Yilin turned her head and glanced at it. Suddenly, she tilted her body and disappeared from the spot with a burst of force, leaving behind a loud bang and a patch of ground that had been crushed.

The purple mist surged violently, and two figures clashed and fought each other rapidly, each flashing through the purple light within it.

With her long black hair dancing in the wind, "Lin Yilin" revealed a flamboyant smile, appearing quite dreamy and dazzling against the backdrop of the moon and purple dust, like a mysterious elf.

The amethyst claws of the blind dog-man shattered the instant they crossed with those fair arms, emitting a mournful cry.

In the mental world, the earth, which was originally flat rocky ground, was pounded and pitted, almost forming a long mountain range.

The eyeless dog-man broke free from the swarm of earthworms and leaped quickly to a higher place using the terrain. Just as he was about to lower his head and open his mouth, an even larger, dark maw opened and swallowed him whole.

Nourishes—

A purple ray swept across, slicing open the giant earthworm's head, and the eyeless dog-man crawled out from the gap.

"Woof!"

A roar swept through, and for a moment, a large number of earthworms seemed to break free from Lin Yilin's control, starting to fight and bite each other. Zheng Fan also felt Lin Yilin's body weaken and become dizzy.

One of the characteristics or abilities of the blind dog is that its barking can cause things to lose their "normal" state and tend towards chaos.

A single bark from a dog can drive a martial arts master into a state of demonic possession, making it impossible to defend against.

Let alone "martial arts masters", even ordinary people can suddenly experience difficulty breathing, reversed blood flow, endocrine disorders, and even apoptosis of cells throughout the body.

It seems there's nothing that can be done about Zheng Fan's tactic.

Unable to overpower Zheng Fan with force, they could only try to bypass Zheng Fan and influence the body he was using.

However, this is just a facade.

He was trying to buy himself some time; something big was coming!

Zheng Fan silently stabilized Lin Yilin's condition, while pressing all the earthworms back into the shadows beneath his feet to prevent them from being disturbed, thus giving the other party this opportunity.

Hmm? Does the moon overhead look bigger?
When did you get this big?

The eyeless dog-man stepped on purple crystals and soared into the sky, until he stood high in the sky under the moon. From Lin Yilin's perspective, he was already in the center of the full moon.

His body underwent further changes.

His skin turned as white as moonlight, the black in the purplish-black transformed into white, and his body began to swell, expanding from the size of an adult to the size of a mountain.

Instead of transforming further into a canine that is crawling on the ground, it is... starting to turn back into a human?
However, the details of the body are transforming into something unknown, which, though strange, reveals a bizarre beauty.

The incessant barking of dogs, sounding like mockery, echoed through the increasingly thick purple mist and dust.

This is the true identity behind the eyeless dog...

In a short time, it directly used its body to unleash divine power, and immediately opened its mouth, its upper and lower jaws opening and closing more than 180 degrees, revealing the large, round, pearl-like eyeball in its throat.

Their eyes were fixed on "Lin Yilin".

As the tall, eyeless dog clapped its hands, several purple crystal pillars descended from the sky and pierced around "Lin Yilin". The purple crystals quickly spread and formed a "package" that enveloped her.

“I won’t run away even if you don’t go to all that trouble.” “Lin Yilin” remained unmoved and instead gave a sarcastic smile.

As if in response to the smile, the eyeless dog moved its neck and leaned forward.

"Woof—!"

The crystalline energy barrage, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, swept in, causing the entire mental world to tremble violently. As soon as this barrage was unleashed, it began to shatter.

Fake Dog Cannon.

It seemed that some powerful information emanated from this blast and forcefully entered Zheng Fan's consciousness, finally making him aware of the name of this inexplicably iconic energy attack.

Simple, brutal, and directly named after itself, symbolizing a destructive and terrifying energy output.

This also allowed Zheng Fan to glimpse a corner of the "tree's" awakening.
