Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 740 "Lin Yilin"

The two major problems, Blood Cocoon and Mechanical Capital, which were far more dangerous than the Central Assembly Incident, were resolved without causing any public outcry in the capital.

Zheng Fan returned to the firm and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

It's mainly because it's too intense.

The intense emotions emanating from Jiang Si, Rabi, and Luo Bo kept coming, making him feel warm inside and almost unable to move.

Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over a fight?
However, in Lin Yilin's eyes, this was just her getting the better deal and then acting innocent. She pretended to be disgusted, but actually, the corners of her mouth were turned up so wide that she couldn't suppress it.

Lin Yilin glanced at her phone, confirming the demise of Jiang Si and the radish isotope, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. But then, unease returned to her heart.

When she saw the two capitals crashing down, she suspected it might be part of a final assault. However, that wasn't the case, and no further unusual activity was observed until now that the matter was over.

What exactly is the other party waiting for?
Just as Lin Yilin was pondering, Niu Qianliu suddenly sent a message: "Found the coordinates of the parallel world."

……

Deep within the black world, surrounded and pierced by countless black branches, an endless world, with rings upon rings within rings, flickers between light and shadow.

Countless illusions are being drawn into the branches and the "circular world," becoming the consumables needed to unleash its potential.

The eye, outlined in a myriad of colors, lay nearby, already fragmented and seemingly unable to hold on much longer, while the lines that made it up were being completely absorbed by another figure.

"...I do not approve of your actions." "Ye" awaited its own demise, having already put up all resistance, it was now helpless.

"How many people in this world agree with me? The opinions of fools are irrelevant to me." A calm voice came from the figure before him, revealing his indifference and arrogance.

"Absorbing us all might indeed grant him the power to reach the pinnacle of his parasitic state. However, it would be useless to him; it's something on a different level from us," Ye said.

"You are also fools. The emergence of consciousness and the development of survival instincts are completely superfluous for you, which is why you have become a disorganized mess. Despite being among the earliest beings in this world, you have become a mob with only symbolic power. You plotted countless schemes but were crushed in one fell swoop, and the parallel worlds you stirred up ended up becoming my wedding dress."

“...Undeniably.” After a brief silence, “Ye” admitted.

"So just shut up and watch."

As it spoke, the body reached out with its free hand to grab the parallel world.

She held the endless world of circles in her hand, as if picking fruit from a treetop.

Just as she was about to eat the fruit, a rustling sound suddenly appeared.

Several dark green beams of light shot in from all directions, controlling her movements. Then, Lu Chongming, the insect-armored man, suddenly leaped out and snatched the Endless Ring from her hand with lightning speed, before immediately trying to escape.

puff!

Unexpectedly, that slender, fair hand suddenly pierced through the dark green beam of light, disregarding its power, and appeared without warning in front of Insect Armor Lu Chongming, directly piercing his chest.

Lu Chongming coughed up blood.

"I was thinking that since you're still alive, you should at least be smart enough to find a quiet place to stay, or follow your heart and continue to do what I want them to do. But instead, you went through all this trouble to find us again, only to attack me?"

Hearing the indifferent yet slightly sarcastic and puzzled voice of the person in front of him, Insect Armor Lu Chongming roared and his body completely transformed into a giant centipede insect, which at first glance looked like a long dragon from the depths of a dark world!
"Roar--!"

With a roar, the giant worm plunged headfirst, its gaping maw swallowing its prey whole.

The next moment, the giant insect sensed something was wrong. Cracks spread from the inside out, quickly covering its body and spreading throughout its entire body!

Bang!
A loud bang erupted from the neck, blood splattered, and fragments of flesh, internal organs, and shells flew onto a thick tree branch.

Whoosh! A flamboyant, bright red figure appeared here; it was Luo Ye, who had sensed something and arrived.

The corpse fragments of the giant centipede were piled up like a mountain in front of him. The figure sat casually and unconcerned about the filth at the top of this "mountain," legs crossed, one foot gently lifting, the wireless ring already retrieved and weighed in his hand.

boom!
The giant insect's head fell to one side, blowing against her cascading long hair.

Lu Chongming's compound eyes did not dim with death: "Mom... I want to save Mom... I won't allow you..." His indistinct voice carried an unyielding obsession.

She then flicked it lightly with her finger.

Snapped!
The skull was shattered.

“It seems that part of ‘Leaf’ has escaped. As the most agile insect, it certainly knows how to seize every opportunity… It doesn’t matter, it’s enough. Besides, it seems there are more important guests to welcome now.” She read aloud in a relaxed tone.

Luo Ye looked at the figure before him, took a deep breath, and smiled again: "To be honest, when I heard that you were the mastermind, I wasn't surprised at all. Even so, seeing how ruthless you've gone, I realize I underestimated you after all..."

"Yilin".

The figure in front of him was very clear in Luo Ye's eyes.

Lin Yilin. She is tall and slender, as if she has undergone a second growth spurt. Even when she is sitting casually, it is obvious that she has grown much taller, and her figure is even approaching that of Luo Ye.

She was wearing a fitted black and white dress that looked like a maid's outfit. The contrast between her inherent coldness and solemnity and this outfit was striking. Only the coat draped over her shoulders was somewhat familiar.

Gray pantyhose outlined her long, slender legs, below which were black knee-high boots that reached just to her calves.

Aside from her face, there are just too many things about her that don't match the image of Lin Yilin I have in mind.

"I never thought I'd see you again, Sister Ye," Lin Yilin greeted casually. "Thirty years have passed since I killed the first one of you."

"Thirty years? I guess I'm not destined for a long life after all." Luo Ye chuckled. "So, why do you have my blood on you?"

“Because Sister Ye is very strong.” Lin Yilin raised her chin slightly. “The more ingenious the layout, the more it reveals how much the strategist has considered and how deep the constraints are. And strength is the most effective and direct hand and piece; it would be a waste to let it die like that.”

"At first, I turned Sister Ye into a puppet to control, but soon I found myself to be weak. It took a long time to finally absorb Sister Ye, and for this, I had to replace the blood in my body."

“Hong Yijia used to complain that if the two of us merged, we would be really powerful. I never thought that such a time would actually come.” Luo Ye’s smile remained unchanged, and he even joked.

Lin Yilin blinked: "In fact, it was her words that inspired me."

"Have you treated them well?"

"No, by the time I came to my senses, I didn't care about that anymore. In the end, I erected a tombstone for everyone, and of course, I erected one for myself too. We can all lie together peacefully now, just like when we went out to play together before Sister Ye graduated and left, and slept together on the grass under the starry sky."

Her tone was light, and she seemed to have a touch of nostalgia when she talked about her memories, but Lin Yilin's face was expressionless, with only her gray-white eyes radiating a somewhat eerie light.

"I see..." Luo Ye pulled a fiery red scythe from his throat and struck a pose. "Then let me ask you one last question: what was the purpose of all this?"

"At first, I just wanted to save the firm." Lin Yilin remained unmoved by Luo Ye's fighting stance, sitting on the corpse like a queen. "I was too weak to care about much. By the time I realized what was happening, I found myself making one decision after another that crossed the line, and gradually I stopped caring. Now, I still want a lot more. My desires are endless. And I'm extremely curious about that person, so I've prepared a lot for him."

After saying that, Lin Yilin did not receive a reply from Luo Ye.

The two men, one tall and one short, stared at each other for a long time.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
Both disappeared simultaneously.

Boom!

The giant insect's corpse was instantly pulverized, and the two figures collided violently, narrowly missing each other. At the same time, bloodstains wreathed in high temperature appeared on the necks of both of them.

There are two fiery red sickles, and their strength is truly equal!
