Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 1 Dead?

"April 31st is finally over."

"Don't feel sad, newbie. You're lucky. You've succeeded by surviving. Hold on to the box. If the contents get out, we'll be in trouble. We have targets for this operation. If something goes wrong, it will be hard to report."

"If the things inside can escape so easily, then wouldn't our preparations be in vain?"

……

what sound?
Zheng Fan was in a daze, feeling as if he was lying on a ship on the sea in a storm, rocking so much that he felt a little nauseous.

When he calmed down and opened his eyes...

He still saw nothing.

It was pitch black all around, without any light, and I had no idea what situation I was in.

Move a little.

Ok?
Where's my body!?
His body has no feeling!

He had to panic now. He quickly recalled that he had just had a normal sleep before this, and he hadn't done anything wrong before going to bed. He had just had a physical examination a few days ago, which showed that his body was in a very standard sub-health condition.

His body was still shaking, or to be more precise, it was the dark place where he was that was shaking.

Zheng Fan did not give up struggling, thinking that he might be involved in some mysterious kidnapping case. Although he did not know why he was worthy of being kidnapped, this was the only explanation he could give.

As he struggled, he vaguely felt that his sluggish body seemed to respond.

Before he could feel happy, a tearing feeling that seemed to penetrate deep into his soul suddenly occurred.

He seemed to have broken free from the restraints on himself, and then he couldn't wait to stretch out his arms, put his feet on the ground, and climb up.

When he came to his senses, he was already standing on a chaotic street, sweating profusely.

A smudge of black was gradually fading from the grey earth, taking away the smoke and desolation. Many people in black and white uniforms seemed to be cleaning up the mess.

Although I don’t know where I am.

But Zheng Fan was sure that this was definitely not just a simple mysterious kidnapping.

He didn't recognize this place or the city in front of him at all.

He didn't have much time to be in a daze, as a strong pulling force suddenly pulled his body, causing him to stagger and almost fall. As he was pulled away, he immediately turned around to look at the source of the pulling force.

A man also in uniform was holding a black box in his hand.

That's where the traction comes from.

"Hello, where is this place, who are you, what's wrong with me..." Zheng Fan asked calmly and politely.

But no one responded to his words, and they didn't even look at Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan felt something was wrong, and a sense of absurdity surged into his heart. He walked quickly to the front of these people and asked, "Hello?"

I thought I could stop them, but they didn't slow down at all and rushed straight towards Zheng.

Zheng Fan subconsciously tried to block them, and saw these people passing through him.

"..."

Zheng Fan opened his eyes wide and looked at his hands.

"I am dead?"

After repeated confirmation, I was sure that I seemed to have turned into a "ghost", as if I did not exist at all.

These people cannot see themselves, cannot hear themselves speak, and cannot touch anything at all. It’s like they are in two completely different worlds.

He could do nothing but be pulled by an inexplicable attraction and follow the black box.

Just when Zheng Fan was still in a daze, a scream was heard.

"what!!!"

It was a very real scream, and not only Zheng Fan heard it, but also the people in black and white uniforms around him. They immediately wanted to walk towards the source of the sound.

"Warning! Containment of an illusion has failed! Containment of an illusion has failed! Possession has been completed and has intervened in reality! Everyone calm down, it's just an illusion, don't be fooled or affected, and quickly subdue the possessed person!"

A loud broadcast came quickly.

what?
boom!
With a loud bang, a car was lifted up in an outrageous way. It was a scene that you would only see in movies. A man lifted a car up with his bare hands!

That person was also one of the uniformed personnel, but this time his face was hideous, his hair was overgrown, his limbs were extended, his claws were growing rapidly, and he had gradually lost his human appearance.

The man holding the black box did not join his partner in intervening in the chaos ahead.

“That’s the person who was invaded by the illusion…” The young man holding the box was obviously shocked.

"Yes, an illusion." The middle-aged man next to him looked solemn.

Zheng Fan crossed his arms and frowned, looking at the boxes in their hands, then at the melee in the distance: "Can you explain it to me? I'm a newcomer too."

Still no one paid attention to him.

However, perhaps wanting to teach the newcomer some lessons, the middle-aged man whispered, "They are invisible and intangible, and they don't exist in the peaceful world at all. But if they find a bridge and make someone aware of their existence, they will come to this world at an unimaginable speed... and bring a power that does not belong to this world."

"How can this box hold something like this?" The newlywed's hands trembled as he held the box.

"It's a trick. Illusions that don't rely on human growth are generally not smart. The props in the box make them think they have found a bridge, and they will come over by themselves. Possessing the harmless body we prepared in advance, this is the 'rat trap'."

Zheng Fan: “…” I’m sorry for not being smart.

"Is it really okay for me to hold it?" The newcomer was a little panicked.

"You were so confident just now, but now you're scared?" The middle-aged man couldn't help laughing, but still comforted him: "Don't worry, it's useless even if this thing realizes that it has been deceived. The illusion cannot forcibly take over the body unless it uses various tricks to affect the mind of a specific person and make him collapse."

The man lit a cigarette, took a puff and continued, "If you're afraid, I'll take it. I'll send it to headquarters and either destroy it as a routine measure or seal it up forever and never see the light of day again. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Zheng Fan:!
He had been calm and listening slowly, but now he couldn't sit still anymore.

He didn't even understand the situation, so why was it going to be sealed and destroyed?

He reached out to touch the box at the first moment, but his hand passed through the box and couldn't touch it.

But at this moment, his miraculous senses allowed Zheng Fan to "see" what was in the box, which was a black bead like a large marble.

The most important thing is that looking at this bead is like seeing yourself.

It is confirmed that my "true self" is now this bead!

No wonder it can only move around this box.

Damn it, wasn't there anything here he could touch right now?
He grabbed the bead directly and felt a cool touch on his palm.

Zheng Fan was stunned. He could touch this thing!

Yes! This is my current body!

What can you do with such a small bead? I don't know what material this box is made of.

Never mind, let’s give it a try!
boom!
The box in the hands of the newcomer trembled violently, scaring him so much that he almost lost his grip: "What! What happened!?"

The middle-aged man was also shocked. He didn't expect such a thing to happen.

"That thing is going to resist!?"

Zheng Fan pulled hard again at this time. The bead was indeed unable to leave the box, but he grabbed it directly, and the bead and the box flew directly out of the newlyweds' hands.

"Wow, is there such a thing?" Zheng Fan also felt curious, but his hands did not slow down at all. He grabbed the beads and the box, found a direction and ran.

"An illusion is trying to escape! That mousetrap!" the middle-aged man shouted immediately.

The reaction of these uniformed men was quite quick. They immediately surrounded and intercepted Zheng Fan, but they were very cautious and did not dare to use any heavy-handed force.

During this process, Zheng Fan noticed that these people used all kinds of fancy tricks, which seemed to be super powers.

Seeing this, Zheng Fan could only sigh that he had definitely traveled through time. Who the hell was playing this hellish joke on him?
boom!
There was an explosion nearby, and Zheng Fan's box was impacted and flew out, and Zheng Fan himself was also carried away by the box in a mess.

It looked like he fell badly, but Zheng Fan actually didn't feel anything at all.

However, the uniformed men around him blocked his way and it seemed that he could not escape anywhere with the box.

"Ah!!" Suddenly, another guy who was still wreaking havoc in the distance but seemed about to be subdued let out another inhuman roar.

Zheng turned around and had a sudden idea: "Since we are in the same boat, let's see if you can help me."

He grabbed the beads and threw them with great force, throwing the beads and the box out directly, and then Zheng Fan himself was taken over. It felt like he was ascending to heaven with his left foot stepping on his right foot.

The box fell onto the possessed man in uniform as he looked at her in surprise.

The other party was not polite at all and smashed the box with a slap.

Zheng Fan quickly reached out and grabbed the other person's messy hair.

His hand stabbed into the other person's head, and his eyes met the other person's frantic and terrified gaze. In the other person's eyes, Zheng Fan saw his own figure.

"obedient."

Boom!
The deformed and unrecognizable man in uniform fell to the ground with a loud bang, and there was no sound.

The people around approached cautiously and saw that the deformed flesh on the uniformed man's body was changing back after a while of squirming, returning to the normal body shape.

"What's going on? I've never heard of such a thing?" someone asked puzzled.

Even if the phantom's possessed body dies, it shouldn't recover...

Suddenly, the person lying on the ground moved again.

He supported himself on the ground with his hands, carefully stroked the ground, feeling the solid touch and the real breath.

Finally, his eyes opened, his black eyes were covered with gray, leaving two dark tear marks at the corners of his eyes, but a somewhat arrogant smile appeared on his embarrassed face.

"Be careful--"

Whoosh!
The man took off with a catapulted jump, creating a strong air wave and leaping out like a flying bird, leaving everyone behind.

"Ugh! You can even do something like this!?"

As soon as Zheng Fan took over the body he had snatched from the illusion, he felt an unstoppable force surging out from within.

With a sudden burst, he easily left all the uniformed men behind.

Well, this time travel is not at all depressing.

Zheng Fan only felt that this new world was extremely comfortable!
