Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 730 Isotope Connections

"What did Miss Lin Yilin do to you?" Shang Xia immediately questioned the other party angrily.

Miss Lin Yilin treated her very well, and she also got along very well with Brother Fan. Even though her combat abilities were not ideal, her strengths were clearly utilized elsewhere.

This was already evident on the day of the central rally.

The guys from that dark world suddenly telling them to kill Lin Yilin sounds like a joke. Moreover, according to what "Pi" just said, they were trying to provoke Zheng Fan into killing them all so they could force Zheng Fan to reach an upgraded state. Now, they're saying it's a remedy but still want to kill Lin Yilin—isn't that a bit like a conflict between their left and right brains?

"You can take my words as a provocation if you want. I think you'll realize it naturally after a while. It's just that you don't know how much she'll have prepared by then." "Pi" didn't necessarily mean to remind Shang Xia of anything.

It knew that its words were unsubstantiated and lacked credibility, but it said no more.

"What's the reason? You should at least explain why." Shang Xia frowned.

"To screen through countless possibilities as quickly as possible, bring them out, and cross the false boundaries set by the capital to reach the capital itself, a sufficient price must be paid in order to present the results you see. If the counterpart in the main world dies prematurely, then the individual in the parallel world will lose its direction. Unless the parallel world directly impacts the capital, it will be completely unable to escape that parallel world that is defined as false."

Shang Xia said, "So you want us to kill Miss Lin Yilin because the parallel world counterpart of Miss Lin Yilin that you found is very dangerous?"

"It is an existence far beyond our expectations, and it is even difficult to call it an individual. It can be said to be the crystallization of the possibilities of the entire multiverse by chance. It is also the last cry of us, who live on the tree, to the great tree."

After Pi finished speaking, he looked at Shang Xia.

"As for the tree branch, the outcome will tend to be one of two things. One is that he still abandons everything in the present and transforms into a tree, which will inevitably sweep away everything... and everything in the true sense. The other is that he clings to his current state, in which case even he cannot defeat this final incarnation."

Before Shang Xia could even process what was said, "Pi" suddenly changed its expression, and the facial features on its body became distorted and irregular.

"Ah..." Before "Pi" could even utter a sound, slender fingers pierced her face.

There was no blood, but "skin" was completely immobilized.

Shang Xia was startled, but his reaction was quick. He took a step forward and was about to swing his axe when he suddenly heard a clattering sound like gold and silver rubbing together.

Swish!
She swiftly changed her move to the side to parry, and a blinding golden light descended upon her, striking Shang Xia from the axe handle and sending him flying. Shang Xia tried to open his eyes wide to see the situation clearly, only to see the body of the last saintess, the embodiment of "skin," being crushed into a bloody mess centered on her face by the hand that pierced through it.

The hand vanished lightly, and the oppressive golden slash that had been pressing down on Shang Xia also finally disappeared.

She quickly returned to the spot where the hand had disappeared, trying to find any trace to follow, but to no avail.

No way……

If Shang Xia wasn't mistaken, that hand really did look like Lin Yilin's. Even though she couldn't detect anything else, she could easily remember this simple physical feature.

Aside from Lin Yilin's matter, the source of the attack that just attacked her is also nowhere to be found. In fact, from beginning to end, Shang Xia had no idea where the attack came from.

However, compared to the hand that I could only visually record without feeling anything, the golden slash I just experienced wasn't as difficult to perceive.

There's a distinct sense of illusion, a kind of wealth illusion, and also the scent of precious metals.

Shang Xia's thoughts were slightly heavy.

Although she had never met him, she remembered this characteristic. It was from Luo Ye, a rebellious and free-spirited friend whom Fan Ge and Lin Yilin had mentioned.

Luo Ye's name was renowned, and Shang Xia had heard of him quite a bit. She had a delusion that she could directly exchange gold for power enhancements.

Shang Xia looked at the scene of utter chaos; the golden slash had blasted the building apart. There was no time for her to dazed. The Holy Maiden was gone, and there were still many Black Cult members in this stronghold. With such a commotion, if they weren't caught soon, they would escape!

……

It was late at night when Shang Xia returned to the firm, disheveled and embarrassed, and recounted her experience to Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin.

"That's all I experienced at the cult's stronghold." Shang Xia looked at the two people sitting on the sofa in front of him. He felt a little nervous when he was giving his report, and even stuttered several times.

If it had been a more rigorous interview, she probably would have been allowed to leave already.

After she finished speaking, she took a breath and looked at Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin.

Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin exchanged a glance, immediately understanding what each other was thinking, and both looked thoughtful. However, they showed no signs of shock or tension.

It was completely different from what Shang Xia had imagined.

After waiting for a while without them speaking, Shang Xia became a little nervous again, her fingers intertwined like a student who had made a mistake and was waiting for the teacher to criticize her.

"This...don't you guys think this is quite unexpected?" Shang Xia said.

Zheng Fan: "No."

Lin Yilin: "It's alright."

The two answered in turn.

"This is Miss Lin Yilin's counterpart, but she seems to have become a demon king. Even the Black Spokesperson can't escape her. And in the end, she'll even force Brother Fan into a desperate choice between two options!" Shang Xia gestured wildly, seemingly trying to exaggerate her description.

"Doris said you weren't suited for dancing," Zheng Fan then commented in a serious tone.

Shang Xia immediately deflated, slumping onto another sofa: "How could this be!? And that's not what I wanted to say!"

Although that's not what I wanted to say, I'm still very sad.

"But with some practice, there's still a chance to perform in operas," Zheng Fan added as a consolation.

"Really?!"

"real."

Shang Xia became happy again with simple joy.

The practice costs are high. Even though Shang Xia's mental age is not high and his socialization is low, his body, despite its excellent conditions, is not omnipotent, especially in the area of ​​performance.

However, Shang Xia was a woman from the capital, and she could do whatever she wanted, even if it meant acting in a bad play.

Shang Xia shook his head abruptly: "No, no, that's not what we're talking about!"

She looked at Lin Yilin beside her, hoping that Miss Lin Yilin could be more serious.

"I'm very curious." After thinking for a long time, Lin Yilin finally came up with her first thought, which made Shang Xia, who had been looking forward to it, bury her head back into the sofa.
