Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 99 Dream?
Cumulus clouds over the city, sunny and windy.

The arrival of summer makes many people reluctant to go out. Air conditioners have started to work one after another, bringing a little salvation to those struggling.

If there is no redemption at home, go to the subway station or shopping mall to find it.

Even the insects dare only hide under the shade of trees and cry out for their short lives. This cry cannot withstand the scorching sun, but it is all they have.

Even the sparrows hid in the shade, gasping for breath.

"Drink-ha!"

Suddenly, a black shadow shot out from the sky like a sharp arrow and rushed straight into the group of sparrows that were lying peacefully!
It's a kestrel, a black kestrel!

Even though it is black, there is no doubt that this is a red kestrel with a special body color, not a black falcon.

A sparrow was domineeringly stepped on by the kestrel, and the surrounding sparrows were frightened and flew around in panic, chirping non-stop.

"I'm here for revenge, stupid bird!" The black falcon screamed towards the sky, shouting like an evil villain.

Because of the noise outside, a child in the neighboring house, who was enjoying the air-conditioning and the ice bar he had received as a reward from his parents after finishing his homework, curiously looked in.

"Mom, what are those sparrows doing?"

"Maybe he was frightened. Children shouldn't interfere in bird matters."

"That's it..."

……

The sparrows in the white city area are very strong in combat.

Black Falcon returned to Zero One Office covered in wounds and saw Lin Yilin, who was wearing a black sailor suit, holding an ice bar in her mouth and flipping through a book in her hand.

"Ah, Mr. Illusion, did you succeed in your revenge?"

"...No." Zheng Fan hovered in the air.

"Is that so?" Lin Yilin didn't seem surprised to hear that.

"Although it's true that my power will be restricted in the White City, it should be enough for a Red Falcon to bully a sparrow, right? How could this happen?" Zheng Fan changed back to a human from a Red Falcon and covered his face with his hands, feeling ashamed.

"Why would the sparrows fight back in groups? The sparrows I know are not like this! Aren't they just a bunch of timid glutinous rice balls?"

It was indeed more than enough for Red Falcon Zheng to kill a few sparrows alone, but after the initial panic, the sparrows did not fly away individually when faced with disaster. Instead, they gathered their strength and launched a fierce counterattack.

Smash this super hallucination man.

This is the power of unity, the perfect program for collectivism to triumph over individualism.

"Some animals in the capital are indeed quite spiritual, probably because of the overlapping of the worlds. And then there are quite a few spiritual animals who choose to live in a corner of the white world. The sparrows that Mr. Illusion provoked may be such a special group of little creatures."

"Is there such a setting? But let me correct you, they were the ones who provoked me first! These despicable local birds are so xenophobic that they can't even tolerate a tiny black sparrow." Zheng said unhappily.

"It is said that the spotlessness of the white world was also achieved at the cost of many sacrifices in the past. Some things are just buried very deep."

"Your power seems to come from the white world itself?"

"In a sense, that's true," Lin Yilin said affirmatively.

"I'll have to try a bigger bird next time." Zheng bit his thumb, full of resentment.

Lin Yilin wanted to ask him not to do this. Seeing his cowardly look of not being able to beat the sparrow and still being obsessed with it, Lin Yilin felt a little embarrassed and wanted to laugh. This might also be Mr. Illusion's "charm".

"By the way, Mr. Illusion. Do you have any idea about the dream I had last night that I was drawn into the Resident Evil movie world you mentioned, and there were many Mr. Illusions beside me saying 'warm, twitching' in my ear?"

"Ah?" Zheng Fan turned around in surprise, hurriedly moved closer, slapped his hands hard to hold on to the table, but forgot that he couldn't touch it, and then stumbled across the table and fell to the ground.

Then he got up from the ground: "Why not 'cold and shaking'?"

"How do I know? Is 'cold and shaking' a necessary procedure?"

"If you don't use this joke at the beginning of the infinite flow, wouldn't it be considered impure blood?"

"What is the infinite flow?" Lin Yilin asked first, then quickly turned around and brought the topic back to the original topic: "So that weird dream was indeed caused by Mr. Illusion, right? It can even affect me who is sleeping in the white world. Mr. Illusion has grown up again."

"Well, it was just a try, and now it seems to have failed." Zheng Fan waved his hands.

"Are you absorbing the rewards of the dinosaur illusion?"

"Well, its singularity is quite large. I had hoped it could be used as a breakthrough, but it seems that it doesn't work. I tried to further strengthen my panic ability, but it even made your dreams go awry." Zheng Fan said helplessly.

"I should have used the catfish illusion to train this power. Why did Mr. Illusion use it to strengthen my earthworms?"

"Because the atmosphere is right." Zheng Fan had a look on his face that said "You really don't understand." "When the protagonist transforms into a new form, of course he must have new abilities and new weapons. That's the rule these days."

"Where did this rule come from...are we wasting a powerful 'extra point' just for such a playful reason?"

"I can use my own singularity however I want. Why are you more anxious than me?" Zheng Fan said lazily while picking his ears.

"Because Mr. Hallucination's half-baked dream power makes me uneasy. I was prepared for something to happen in my dream last night, and words like 'warmth and twitching' sounded like something might happen. But in the end, you asked me to fight zombies?"

It was rare to see a hint of "unbelievable" in Lin Yilin's eyes, which made Zheng Fan feel a little guilty.

"It will be better next time."

"Can I have a stable peach-colored dream next time?"

"Next time I'll let you experience the complete infinite horror."

"..."

Lin Yilin's gloomy gaze made Zheng Fan look away.

Binary Girl sighed and said, "So Mr. Hallucination, the new dream disturbances are a further manifestation of your ability to panic?"

Back to business, Zheng Fan replied: "It should be. After all, in my understanding, dreams also have many mysterious meanings, and compared to open panic, dreams are more secretive."

"This idea is worth affirming." Lin Yilin thought for a while, "The scope of influence of panic hallucination theory is one of the highest among all hallucinations, but because of this, most of the panic control is quite strict. Once there is a sign, it will be quickly nipped in the bud. Moreover, the accumulation and growth of panic hallucinations have a rigid demand for spread, which cannot be separated from the regions with mature monitoring systems."

Like the dinosaur hallucination, it seemed like a big deal, but if there hadn't been someone behind the scenes who helped suppress the impact when a large number of witnesses appeared in the early stages, it would have been caught and cut off by the processing bureau long ago.

And suddenly allowing the dinosaur illusion to attack the students, I'm afraid that from that moment on, the life gene behind the scenes had already been thinking of getting rid of it.

In a sense, what they needed has been achieved.

It is very difficult to achieve initial primitive accumulation in a region with strict supervision due to panic hallucinations.

Zheng Fan also realized this, so when he was cultivating his panic ability, he subconsciously turned to secret dreaming.
