Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 70: Hallucinations are not to be trusted

"Huff——" Luo Ye stabbed one hand directly into his mouth. In the strong vomiting reflex, an illusion was vomited out and fell into his hand, turning into a dark red pistol with a tumor growing on it and bone spurs.

Holding the child in one hand and a gun in the other, he spun and danced on the spot, firing in all directions.

The bullets accurately targeted every thug in the crowd, hitting them in the head and killing them, including the human bomb.

What seemed like a dangerous attack was dealt with in a matter of seconds; from the time the gunshots rang out to the end, it took only a split second.

Luo Ye held the child in his arms, kneaded the gun into a glutinous rice ball-like illusion and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he muttered, "Ugh, it's so disgusting to eat it back."

"Ms. Luo Ye! It's too dangerous for you to act suddenly like this. You are out of touch with us!" At this time, a group of plainclothes police appeared on the roadside. Others either went to maintain order or to move the bodies. One person came to Luo Ye in panic and said.

"What a waste of time! You guys threw a bunch of things to me and you're still dragging your feet. How can I have time to waste with you?" Luo Ye threw the dizzy child in his hand to this person, "It seems that the processing bureau has not made any progress."

The other party could only laugh.

At this moment, the child suddenly realized: "Thank you, thank you, sister! This is for you!"

Luo Ye narrowed his eyes: "No need... Hmm? Is this new?"

The reason why he was stunned was, of course, because the child was holding a two-headed Tabu, Dabuou.

"I just got this from a Gachapon..." The child smiled and showed off, then reluctantly said, "I'm giving it to you!"

"I accepted it." Luo Ye changed his words very quickly, without any shame at all.

The processing bureau staff in front of him suddenly said with some envy: "This is the latest limited edition capsule from the Tabu series. Damn it, I have been so busy this year and I haven't even tried to draw it yet. Is there any left over here at Xixi Keke?"

Luo Ye smiled brightly after hearing this: "No wonder, this is probably one of the few advantages of reality. Little brat, you are so generous and grateful, you will become a great man in the future."

"Hehe, it's okay. After all, I like the latest King Singh better than this double-sided tabu..."

"Ms. Luo Ye! Calm down!" The staff of the processing bureau was originally laughing and responding, "Dabuou is indeed older, and the new King Singh is very handsome", but suddenly saw Luo Ye's face fall, and shouted quickly.

"It's normal for children not to have seen Dabuou! They will naturally be exposed to this classic after watching it more!"

Luo Ye's emotions came and went quickly. He knew he shouldn't get angry with a child: "Tsk, no taste, what do parents do nowadays? If you don't cultivate your children's aesthetic taste and acceptance ability from a young age, how can they achieve great things when they grow up?"

"Dad said that the tabla that was too early in the past is not suitable for me to watch..." the child said cautiously.

"Are what your parents said right? You are not young anymore and should have your own opinions on this kind of thing. You should pay more attention to the core rather than superficial things! It is also important to speak out your demands loudly and have a rebellious spirit. Remember this!" Luo Ye was inexplicably serious towards the child.

The staff in the processing bureau were ashamed and the children were also confused.

Who understands this?
Finally, the matter was almost settled and the staff members of the processing bureau dispersed one after another.

Luo Ye turned around with the Gachapon in his hand, contentedly...

"Oh~, the spirit of resistance is also very important~." Zheng Fan crossed his arms across his chest and looked down at Luo Ye with a funny expression.

When Luo Ye saw Zheng Fan, he looked up at him in silence for a moment and said, "What are you doing hanging there?"

When Zheng Fan was doing this, he was still pretending to be a hanged ghost. After Luo Ye said this, he finally reacted, untied the red string, put away the disguise and fell in front of her.

Then he explained himself: "It is a silent attack on the ugliness of reality."

"Uh." Luo Ye opened his mouth slightly and looked at Zheng Fan, not knowing what to say.

Zheng Fan smiled, narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and suddenly uttered Luo Ye's voice: "Are your parents right? You are not young anymore..."

Talk about the final spirit of resistance amidst Luo Ye’s confused expression.

Zheng Fan adjusted his voice back to his own: "Ahem, that's very well said. It's simply the truth of a child's ignorant period. I feel the flame of adolescence burning as soon as I hear it."

"Tsk." Luo Ye smacked his lips.

"So Miss Luo is such a hypocritical person?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Changing the subject is a sign of guilt."

Luo Ye's veins popped out: Damn it, how could she hear two people say this to her in just a few days.

Zheng Fan was already amused by her expression, so he said with a little more ease, "They are taking your case very seriously. You must have scared them quite a bit."

"Hmph, it's my duty." Luo Ye snorted.

……

"Xiao Lin! Holmes is so handsome! I want to pair him with Watson!"

"Shut up, watch the show quietly, kowtow to you."

Hong Yijia and Lin Yilin, who were leisurely watching a version of Sherlock Holmes bought by Zheng Fan in the office, had this conversation while eating some snacks.

……

At an outdoor table of a restaurant on the street, Luo Ye picked up the menu and ordered something at random, then threw the menu in front of Zheng Fan.

“I can’t eat it again.”

"I have a way to let you eat it, just order whatever you want." Luo Ye waved his hand casually.

Zheng Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and ordered a bunch of them.

Luo Ye took a final look at the menu and naturally didn’t frown over such a small amount of money, so he placed the order directly.

"It's a good treatment to follow me. At least you can have food to eat." Luo Ye said while waiting for the food.

"I can conjure up edible things for myself, there's no need." Zheng Fan refused calmly, and then said, "I thought you were not interested in real things, why are you still working for the Bureau?" "After hearing that I'm back, there are a lot of people who want to give me money. Capable people don't have to worry about these things. I just pick some work that I like and is close to me." Luo Ye said.

"are you busy?"

"It's just a small matter. Some people became restless before the Black World approached, and some of the arrangements made in advance need to be cleaned up."

"You are very skilled."

"If you were thrown into a pile of hallucinations since childhood, you would be proficient in it. Ah~ sorry, you are an hallucination. You pretend to be so human that I always make mistakes. You are the second most human-like hallucination I have ever seen, and the first one in terms of appearance alone." Luo Ye said with a smile.

"There is actually a first one?" Zheng Fan noticed it keenly.

"It's not important." Luo Ye brushed it off lightly.

"Hehe, I'm very clear about your aversion to hallucinations. The core conflict between you and Lin Yilin is not about Lin Yilin, but about your aversion to hallucinations, right?" Zheng said with a smile.

Luo Ye did not answer immediately.

"You said that Binary Girl is very similar to you, so it's natural that you couldn't have imagined her response to your proposal. You are like a wicked stepmother who knows this and insists on doing it, or you could be a self-righteous and willful little girl. There is no difference between the two. Perhaps in order to prevent Binary Girl from repeating some of your mistakes, you saw your shadow in Binary Girl, and then you completely imposed your own shadow on her, in a more vulnerable and demeaning form."

"You're quite good at judging people." Luo Ye said in a deep voice, "Can a few half-baked invasions lead to their growth to this point?"

Zheng Fan raised his head and said, "I only saw hard work and sweat. Ninety-nine percent belongs to me, 0.9 percent goes to Binary Sister, and 0.1 percent goes to the little zombie... Sorry for getting off topic. At first, I really wanted your body, but now I doubt whether you and I are compatible. To be honest, I have a useless body that is so unsuitable that it was not as good as an ordinary person's at first. You might..."

"Can you always stay with Yilin in this way?" Luo Ye suddenly asked.

"Hmm...not sure."

"You can't be sure, right? Will you abandon her or just take her over out of impatience?"

"It depends."

"It's ambiguous, but it's better than mine." Luo Ye said.

"Oh?"

"Hallucinations are not to be trusted. There was an illusion that once promised to lead me out of trouble, but it disappeared without a trace. It transformed my body into this state and engraved my family's ancestral illusion technique deeply on my body, which made me sink even more into the illusion." Luo Ye's finger gently stroked the corner of his mouth.

Zheng Fan blinked.

Luo Ye continued, "Hallucinations cannot support a person's entire life. You have human consciousness but you don't know what you are. Yilin is not normal either. Her morbid 'interests' and thirst for knowledge are deeper than my twisted interests. If no one is watching her, she will fall apart sooner or later. I don't trust you, but I can accept her joining a more mature platform to let others keep an eye on you. If she refuses, then cut off unnecessary things as soon as possible. It's still cute to keep her little fights now."

"That's a good point, but I don't want to be controlled by you, and I really can't commit my whole life to someone else. You should know that I'm just an illusion." Zheng Fan nodded.

"It's just an illusion..." Luo Ye was a little dazed.

While the two were talking, many dishes had already been served.

The waiter and other customers around her looked at her talking to herself with strange expressions on their faces.

Luo Ye vomited out a tube of reagent marked with a biohazard symbol from his mouth, and poured it on the food in front of him under Zheng Fan's surprised eyes.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"So that you can eat with this hallucination." Luo Ye swallowed the reagent again. "It seems that Yilin didn't give you the full set of popular science. The ability of panic hallucinations can do this kind of thing, which can be regarded as simulating the overlap of the black world. The effect is short-lived, so eat it quickly."

"Panic hallucinations... the logo on that thing just now really looked scary."

While Zheng Fan was still hesitating, Luo Ye started right away.

Finally, under Luo Ye's provocative look, Zheng Fan still went forward.

good to eat.

Both of them ate very quickly. The way Luo Ye ate and took food with great abandon made Zheng Fan almost doubt who ordered most of the dishes on the table.

Too indecent.

When the meal was finished, Luo Ye took out his cell phone and typed quickly.

"what are you doing?"

“I gave this restaurant a good rating on the review site.”

"They say reality is boring, but there are actually a lot of things that we care about," Zheng said in a counter-argument.

After commenting, Luo Ye looked up at Zheng Fan: "Anyway, this is it. I don't trust you and I can't leave Yilin to you without any worries. And I really want you. My thoughts will not change, but violence is the underlying logic of the world. You can beat me into submission."

"That's quite sensible. Don't worry, I will pull out your intestines and put them around your neck. After all, you are wearing all red and you just lack a brightly colored scarf." Zheng Fan touched his stomach. Everything he said sounded nice after his appetite was satisfied.

"Then please don't show any mercy. Let me see how strong you are." After Luo Ye finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and laughed a few times. Under the increasingly certain gazes of passers-by who looked at him as a lunatic, he stood up and strode away.

"Red-haired crazy bitch." Zheng repeated what he called her.

……

"...Will you take me back? Back to reality..."

"Well, I promise." The unclear voice and the figure that was like a twisted vortex responded.

"That's great. We can have a hot meal and play together when we get home..."

"But you have to know that I am just an illusion..."

In my mind, the conversation echoed.

Luo Ye closed his eyes, and opened them again, his steps never wavering.
