Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 74 Apology
The battle raged from the west to the east of Jinyun Road.

Zheng Fan turned one hand into a blade and quickly clashed with Luo Ye's two-handed weapon. Luo Ye switched between multiple weapons, which made Zheng Fan very curious about how many illusions she had hidden in her mind.

However, no matter how many special effects she switched, her attack on Zheng Fan was difficult to be effective.

Zheng Fan himself couldn't understand what his body was made of now. It was like a piece of self-reproducing plasticine. At the moment, he had no concept of "injury" at all.

It just gets attacked, its shape is changed, and then it changes and fills back. It's that simple.

Luo Ye can also regenerate, which should be some kind of illusion in her body, so as to ensure her endless fighting power. Zheng Fan cut her in half and she regenerated, which is a bit tricky. But obviously, she does not have the unsolvable body structure of Zheng Fan.

That illusion was not without cost.

If you chop it up bit by bit, in the end, it will probably die.

As for the earthquake catfish, although it is like a scene element often inserted in casual fighting games and will affect both, it can also be easily eliminated.

However, this thing is also thick-skinned and the vibrations are so strong when you get close to it that you can't easily ignore it, which makes people not want to pay attention to it.

Once you spend too much time dealing with it, it will be easy for the other side to find your flaws.

But no matter what, keeping this thing will be more beneficial to Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan was not afraid of the little fish making trouble, but every time Luo Ye was disturbed, Zheng Fan would easily seize the opportunity to increase his injuries.

Luo Ye pulled away and kept some distance to give himself time to catch his breath.

Zheng Fan's arm that had turned into a knife returned to its original shape: "You are really desperate. And it seems to me that you are used to fighting so hard."

“Hehe, if you don’t fight hard, it’s easy to be eaten up in the black world…” Luo Ye uttered.

"Why would you return to reality if you like the dark world so much? It's so boring."

Luo Ye did not answer.

Zheng Fan said with a smile: "You knew from the beginning that these dangerous elements were the Earthquake Society, so you accepted the commission from the Xixi Keke District. You are not short of money, and there is no fun in reality, let alone here. Considering that your moral level is not very good, and your heroic complex has been removed, then the reason you found the Earthquake Society is..."

"I've already said I'm just killing time. Your guess isn't funny at all." Luo Ye straightened his back.

"I think it's funny, that's enough." Zheng Fan covered his chin with one hand, "It's the self-esteem of someone who is not good at expressing himself. I can understand it a little bit."

Luo Ye suddenly started moving, and swung the long sword in his hand that was transformed from the illusion of property, which was grabbed by Zheng Fan, and the two came face to face at close range.

Zheng Fan smiled.

A hand instantly thrust out and probed into Luo Ye's abdomen: "I've always been curious about how much is in your stomach!"

She raised her foot and pushed Luo Ye away, but she still had something in Zheng Fan's hand.

Zheng Fan pulled hard and pulled Luo Ye back, then he stretched out his hands and tied them directly around Luo Ye's fair neck.

"Although your coat is torn, this one still suits you well."

Luo Ye tried to break free, but was unable to resist Zheng Fan's strength. He could only reach out his hands to hook his neck with difficulty and then open his mouth to bite it off!
Once she broke free, she raised her legs and exerted force at close range, and her slender thighs went directly over Zheng Fan's head.

Zheng Fan pointed his finger and cut off her legs with a red thread.

Luo Ye lost his balance, fell forward, and fell towards Zheng Fan.

And then, she opened her mouth.

Zheng Fan saw...an eyeball at the bottom of her throat.

Pfft!

The pale spear shot out from Luo Ye's mouth, passed through Zheng Fan's symbolic blocking hand, and pierced his chest.

"I never thought that there would be a day when I would dress up as Jesus." Zheng Fan said.

He had to admire this counterattack, but he knew that this level of attack had no effect on Zheng Fan at all. It was meaningless and could do nothing except vent his emotions...

Ok?
Zheng Fan's head turned 180 degrees and looked behind him.

It turned out that the Earthquake Catfish was located not far behind Zheng Fan. The white spear that pierced Zheng Fan extended out and pierced into the body of the catfish.

"Guoo!" The catfish was enraged and released its strength viciously.

The horrific shock washed over Zheng Fan and Luo Ye unreservedly along the spear.

Zheng Fan's vision was shaken violently due to the shock, and Luo Ye was bleeding profusely, but she just bit the spear, her golden eyes still bright, and she swayed her body and shook her neck.

"Ah!" With a shout, the spear emitted a dazzling white light, lifting Zheng Fan and the Earthquake Catfish together.

Shot towards the sky.

Whoosh!
Zheng Fan watched himself moving away from the ground. The catfish monster behind him was still venting, but both of them began to become vague.

"This spear is..." Seeing this, Zheng Fan realized the function of this weapon.

The same guns and bullets that the Bureau specially made to dispel hallucinations.

"I give up. You are too strong. I can't control you..." Luo Ye's voice came from afar, "So, I can only let you go back to where you came from..."

The white spear had disintegrated, but Zheng Fan and the catfish monster did not stop rising.

"The unprecedented depth makes this attraction even stronger for you. This is a trap built for you because you are too powerful."

What drove them upward was not the spear, but the attraction from the deep black world after being dispersed from the reality by the spear!

"You're right. I didn't expect a hallucination to be so talkative... I'm indeed self-centered and not good at expressing myself, which will only make the situation more and more awkward. But... it's good like this. Without you, Yilin can't do anything, and this is enough."

Luo Ye's body had fully regenerated, but he was still kneeling on the ground exhausted, looking at the sky.

The determination on his face was gone, only disappointment.

Zheng Fan came into contact with the black ripples where he originally wanted to go. It was like a dark swamp hanging in the sky, pulling and dragging him and swallowing him into it.

When he came to his senses, he found himself floating in chaos.

Since arriving in the capital, he felt an unprecedented sense of fulfillment filling his body, and he felt as if he had returned to his true self.

Looking at his hands, his pitch-black hands were slightly rough, and the surface was rippling like water waves, and ripples appeared in the black world. Rather than hands, they looked more like sharp claws that were neither human nor inhuman.

The chaotic black world is filled with nothingness.

But in Zheng Fan's eyes, he could vaguely see beams of strange light coming from the depths of darkness, projecting all kinds of "information" to the world.

As these information approach the real side, they will begin to condense into vague shapes, be infected by the fragments of human consciousness deposited in the interface layer, and finally break out of the shell and go to reality.

Zheng Fan felt his consciousness expanding along the black ripples. For a moment, it seemed as if he had countless selves.

Even I cannot see clearly.

The twisted black endless vortex was so terrifying that it was impossible to look directly at it. It even scared me at first glance.

Going deeper, time and space will completely lose their meaning. A call is asking Zheng Fan to "go back".

……

Lin Yilin walked deep into the closed community office, into a room where historical collection records were stored.

Just then, I saw a figure walking out of it.

The man walked casually but his steps were powerful. He was nearly two meters tall, with well-developed muscles and a sturdy figure but he did not look bulky. His tight-fitting clothes made him look slender and lean.

The man in a black hat and cloak walked out and immediately noticed Lin Yilin.

"The processing bureau, no, they look like a bunch of random people. Little mice are more likely to react to details than the wealthy and powerful people..." The man's tone was flat, but with his arrogant eyes, there was a hint of sarcasm.

He showed the seemingly simple machete in his hand, but Lin Yilin's eyes were focused on the badge in his other hand.

Finally, my gaze returned to his face.

This face... is impressive.

Lin Yilin's mind raced as she thought of a person on the list of unconfirmed deaths that she had seen in the Jacob family's records. This was a "little person" who was not worth mentioning, a very remote side character, with a simple description and shallow information. If she hadn't paid much attention to this information, she wouldn't have remembered it so quickly.

But when she met the other person in person and looked into his eyes, Lin Yilin felt a stabbing pain in her head.

The earth was shaking, between the sea of fire and the ruins.

She wandered aimlessly in the ruins of Xixikoko, and then a tall figure passed by her. The figure was dressed slightly differently, but his face was exactly the same, especially his empty eyes.

murderer.

The two words naturally came to Lin Yilin's mind, followed by a tearing pain that made her unable to raise her gun to the other party.

The man raised his knife and suddenly turned his head to glance out the window: "A makeshift fish can't stop that illusion hunter..."

After saying this, he turned around and disappeared into the darkness of the corridor.

The next moment, the windows and walls were all shattered. Luo Ye stepped on the stones and landed on the corridor. He immediately glanced towards the place where the man disappeared.

But there is only a residual breath left.

Luo Ye turned to look at Lin Yilin: "How did you find out this... Forget it, Yijia asked me to come, so it seems there is nothing to say."

"Nothing to say?" Lin Yilin spoke, her tone more agitated than ever before. She covered her head with one hand and looked at her with one eye that contained indescribable emotions.

Luo Ye looked at her with some surprise.

"Just now, that was the murderer." Lin Yilin's voice trembled, not knowing whether it was because of the severe headache or because of the excitement. "Most of the murderers from ten years ago have been tracked down for ten years..."

"Probably." Luo Ye replied quietly.

"That was also my goal, the origin of my 'interest'... I don't know why my memory is so vague, but that person reappeared. He must be trying to do something after so many years of action."

"Yeah, but that's none of your business."

"My life was completely changed by the earthquake, and you're telling me it has nothing to do with it?"

"So what? There were too many victims of that earthquake. Besides... you don't have that ability anymore."

"...What did you say?" Lin Yilin opened her eyes wide.

"I sent that guy away." Luo Ye said calmly.

boom!
The bullet flew towards Luo Ye but was deflected by her sword.

Luo Ye continued: "I will help you deal with the rest of the matter. I will kill the murderer. You should have a good rest and go back to sleep. July will be another normal month. Continue to run the office and solve some problems casually. Let everyone praise your intelligence..."

"That's enough." She was interrupted coldly by Lin Yilin.

……

Zheng Fan looked at the chaos in front of him, and suddenly felt a slight pain in his head. He turned back subconsciously: "Lin Yilin?"

……

"It's always like this. You talk to yourself and think you can handle everything. I've known you for a few years and you always have a reason not to be there when I want to celebrate your birthday. You only ask for compensation when I've almost forgotten about it. This way you can feel satisfied."

"In the end, you didn't even leave us an apology for all your mistakes and errors."

……

The strong connection from the real side formed another kind of attraction for Zheng Fan. Although it was very weak compared to the depths of the black world, Zheng Fan was more interested in this side at this time.

He stretched out his hand along the "beam of light" extending from his body.

……

"When my adoptive father passed away, other people at least gave me a reason, but you had no news at all and I couldn't get in touch with you. Yes, you were very busy, and the reality was boring, so you went to another world to play. Even if you came back, didn't you see the few calls I made to you? If Hong Yijia hadn't mentioned it, you wouldn't even know about his funeral, right?"

Luo Ye felt a sharp pain in his heart, and felt a fear he had not felt in years: "I..."

……

At the horizon, the ripples between the deep and shallow waters began to fluctuate violently, as if there was a giant beast stirring up a whirlpool “under the water”.

The chaotic black fluid formed a huge vortex under the horrified gaze of the people below.

……

"'Give up the office or give up the illusion', I finally met someone who can stay with me for a long, long time... and you started it again..."

"Illusion is not..."

"How much more credible are you than an illusion?!" Lin Yilin interrupted Luo Ye loudly.

"I've had enough." Lin Yilin's eyes were red, but there were no tears. Dark tear marks spread from the corners of her eyes.

Behind her, a twisting vortex gradually took shape.

The tear marks were not all. Delicate vine-like lines appeared on Lin Yilin's body, and her hair grew along with them, turning into waist-length hair.

Gray eyes, half of them were filled with anger and seeking to vent, and half of them were filled with playfulness after sorting out the situation.

Luo Ye actually took a step back in panic: "Impossible..."

"Luo Ye."

Lin Yilin's tone returned to its previous calmness.

The shadow and the body spoke at the same time, and the voices overlapped and were difficult to distinguish between them.

"Today, I want you to kneel down and sincerely apologize from the bottom of your heart for everything that happened before."
