Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 135 Crazy Nun
Blackwood Lighthouse.

The old nun was praying. Since her daughter died and she joined the light of the lighthouse, she, who originally had no faith, began to get used to relieving her pain in the form of religion. Taking the light of the lighthouse as an object of faith, she felt like she was praying for her daughter, and could barely get a little comfort. Over time, she got used to it.

This training center was even built in the form of a monastery.

"Sister, Doris killed several seeds from number four to number nine at the beginning of the selection." Someone reported verbally to the old nun.

The old nun did not open her eyes, not surprised: "Yes, this is Doris's true strength. No, it's far from it. She is just going through the motions. This selection is her stage."

"but……"

Old nun: "What's wrong?"

"Doris didn't take those seeds."

The old nun slowly opened her eyes and looked at the surveillance screen. Doris took care of everyone in two moves and then left nonchalantly.

She frowned: "Who is she talking to?!"

The old nun keenly noticed that Doris in the picture was openly talking to an invisible being.

There was silence in the room. Everyone here realized that something seemed to have gone wrong and dared not make a sound.

"check!"

Several people quickly mobilized drones to conduct high-intensity phantom detection.

"Got it!" A person exclaimed as he watched the display pop up on the screen in front of him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and he quickly synchronized his test results on the big screen.

"But... it's not Doris. Everything seems normal with Doris. The one who has problems and shows signs of hallucinations... is number two."

In the picture, a thin figure was walking slowly in the rain.

Under the gray filter displayed by the instrument, the skinny boy was covered with an abrupt shadow.

"How is it possible...why would there be hallucinations in the monastery! We are under the lighthouse!" someone said in disbelief.

The old nun suddenly stood up, even causing the chair she was sitting on to flip over. The noise attracted everyone's attention. She said coldly, "Kill No. 2, and continue to monitor Doris's situation and report to me at all times."

"Sister, are you going to...?"

The old nun ignored the question and turned to leave the room.

The others looked at each other.

Suddenly, someone said, "There are hallucinations under the lighthouse..."

"You mean Kuroi?"

"That 'confinement room' that the nun advocated building? But wouldn't those hallucinations be rendered harmless and only have a minor impact?" someone raised an objection.

"That's just what the nun told us. But weren't all the people who built the Black Well transferred away? Who here knows what that place is like? Except for the children who are often sent there, none of us have really seen it."

"The nun should know her limits. She can't really let the illusion stay under the lighthouse. That would be..."

As he spoke, the conversation became quieter.

Everyone continued to do their assigned tasks without any prior agreement. They shuddered at the thought of the possibility that the place they were in was not necessarily safe and that something invisible was watching them.

—Nun, colluding with hallucinations.

……

The nun came to an empty corner and stood there for a long time. Suddenly, she shouted, "Heimu! Give me an explanation!"

"There's nothing to explain. I want freedom. It's a very simple thing." A voice that only she could hear sounded.

"The whole town at the foot of the mountain has supported your growth! With such good conditions, what can your freedom help you gain? What on earth do you mean? Why are you crazy?!" The old nun was so angry that her body was shaking, and she felt like she might die.

"You are wrong, Linasha. It is not because freedom can make me grow, but because the rapid growth makes me long for freedom."

"You! Impossible, I have made sufficient defenses in the Black Well! There is no way you can affect my seed!"

"Well... Linasha, you are the first human being I have come into contact with, but to be honest, I don't feel very good about you, even though your quality is actually very high to me." The voice of the illusion was very calm, without any fluctuations.

"You didn't feed me with your desires, but passed me on to this town. In order to control this town and prevent your affairs over the years from being exposed, you expected me to help you reach out to another system in Dadu. I did it, and you thought that this would satisfy me and let me stay in the well with peace of mind. You even expected me to control the other people of the same kind you caught in the well..."

"This is what you should do!" the old nun said angrily. "You scum from the black world don't even dare to fart in Dadu, and you have to be very careful when finding a host. And I gave you such a favorable environment, and you actually want to betray me!"

"So I am very grateful to you." The illusion said lightly, "Thank you for your care, thank you for looking down on us, and thinking that we, the remnants of chaotic desires, are so easy to satisfy, just like the children you take care of... You also underestimated your children, whether it's the most noisy one now, or the one who fell in love with me."

"Asshole! You can't get out! The Lighthouse will keep an eye on you! Even if you find another host that can be contacted, it's impossible! My people are guarding the monastery and the Black Well! When this matter is over, I will go to the Black Well myself to pull you out and destroy you!"

"Oh, then I hope you'll still have the mind to take care of me soon."

"roll!"

"Okay, goodbye, thank you for your care for so long."

Facing the old nun's anger, the hallucination's voice remained so calm.

The old nun turned around and returned to the main control room, and immediately ordered: "I will go to the monastery. Everyone, keep an eye on the monastery and don't let anyone out!"

"I see... By the way, the ones you said you would let go..."

"No!"

After saying these words, the old nun left again.

……

Nim trembled as he looked at the tall and thin boy walking towards him.

The other party suddenly appeared and knocked down several of his friends.

"No, don't kill me!" Nim cried, holding his head.

"I didn't kill them, don't be afraid. I'm here to find you, and I'll take you to find your father." Unexpectedly, the tall and thin boy in front of him came to him and said softly.

Nim's eyes suddenly widened: "You...you know my father?"

The tall, thin boy nodded.

"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Nim was still very scared. After all, the other party's appearance just now was too scary. After hearing that he didn't kill him, Nim carefully looked at his friend who was knocked down, and found that he was indeed still breathing, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does your father look like this?" Unexpectedly, the tall and thin boy stretched out his hand, and a person's appearance appeared directly in his hand like a "projection".

Nim looked carefully. He hadn't seen his father for a long time, but fortunately, Tikman hadn't changed much over the years. Nim nodded in surprise and said, "It's Dad! Is Dad here?"

He was not unhappy at all. He felt sad every time he thought about the way his father hugged him and cried before he left. His mother also kept telling him that his father was working hard for them and he should be a sensible child and wait for him.

"Well, he wants to see you now. I'll take you there." The tall and thin boy nodded, then took his hand, "My name is Gao Song."

Suddenly, several drones flew in and surrounded him, and without any warning, several shells were fired at him.

Gao Song looked up at the sky, stretched out his hand, and white light spread out. He pulled the rain in his hand and threw it forward like a curtain. In an instant, it turned into a waterfall-like impact, washing away all the flying shells and even shooting down the drone.

After doing this, he changed from pulling to hugging and carried Nim on his shoulders, and hurried towards the lighthouse.

……

Here, Mora and his men stood in front of the encirclement formed by chariots, their faces solemn.

They were just about to rush out from here and catch these people off guard, but the other side seemed to react suddenly and surrounded them directly.

The black muzzles of the guns were pointed at them, telling them to go back, and they would fire without hesitation if they came any closer.

"Let's go back... Mora, you can't lead us over there. They are too well prepared." Tao Zhi wiped his face soaked by the rain.

Mora was about to speak when a chariot not far away suddenly opened fire, but not at them.

The artillery fire broke out in the rain, but the next moment, the tank that opened fire was directly washed away by the sudden surge of violent water.

Then the exploding fireworks were absorbed into a ball as if they were flying in reverse, condensed into a fireball and thrown back, hitting the encirclement line and causing chaos.

"That's... Number Two!" Mora recognized the other person immediately.

Gao Song ran past in the rain carrying Nim, glanced at Mora and the others, ignored them, and charged towards the encirclement without hesitation.

"What is No. 2 doing? Is he going to the lighthouse too?" Tao Zhi was puzzled.

Mora pursed her lips and said, "If we count him, we have a chance!"

Everyone also realized that Gao Song had disrupted the encirclement, and now their chance had come. Without saying anything more, they immediately followed Gao Song's footsteps.

However, Gao Song's breakthrough speed was very fast. He would immediately grab the artillery fire and bullets that were directed at him and throw them back like playing with plasticine.

He took this opportunity to break out of a gap and rushed over, but it would not be so easy for Mora and his group. Once Gao Song broke out of the encirclement, the other party's attention would soon fall on them.

Just when Mora was thinking about making a final push, the sound of harsh music came along with the sound of rain, causing Mora's body to stiffen.

The surrounding tanks were easily cut into several pieces, and the musical notes fell in the rain like scattered flowers from heaven, shooting down and killing the drones and armed personnel.

Doris walked by lightly, carrying her violin case on her back and holding a rapier in one hand. Her light blue dress was wet by the rain but still light. Her aloof posture was out of tune with the surrounding smoke and munitions. "Doris, you..." Mora stared at Doris who suddenly appeared.

Doris said gently, "I'm sorry, I wanted to let you leave smoothly, but because of my problem, it seems that the deal can't be done."

"What are you talking about?" Mora opened her eyes wide.

"So, I'm here to help you." Doris said, and with a swipe of her sword she destroyed the armed forces coming to support her from afar, then stepped forward to clear the way.

Although it was a bit messy, Mora and the others still kept up with Doris's pace.

The journey went smoothly, and although some people suffered minor injuries along the way, they were not serious.

Armed forces from farther away could not gather here for the time being, and there was no danger around them. Right in front of them was the lighthouse that they had been in awe of and looking up to for many years.

The rain gradually got heavier.

Doris heard the sound of fierce fighting coming from the front through the rain.

There was a loud bang and a burst of white light, and a figure staggered backwards.

"It's in front." Zheng Fan reminded from the side, and then looked towards the distance near the lighthouse, where there was still a beam of light when the lighthouse was off.

Zheng Fan confirmed that the place was the confinement room known as the "Black Well".

But he had only taken a few glances outside before. Maybe it was because of the light source, or maybe it was some other reason, he didn't feel the breath of other hallucinations there.

I had hoped to have a buffet, but was greatly disappointed.

But now it's different. There's a strong sense of darkness emanating from that place.

It seems that something in the well is moving.

"Doris!" A familiar voice came. Doris turned her head with some surprise and saw Nim staggering towards her.

"Why are you here?" Doris asked immediately.

"Gao Song, a very powerful brother brought me here." Nim said, "He said my father is here and he can take me to find my father."

Zheng Fan floated by and asked, "Kid, were you trafficked here?"

You believed me when I told you I would take you to find your father? Zheng Fan felt that he should be sent to the studio of Banmu for a proper reform.

Doris was surprised when she heard this: "Gao Song?"

"Oh, isn't that Lao Er?" Zheng Fan heard Doris mention this name.

Nim pointed to the front and said, "He brought me here just now, but was stopped by the nun."

Hearing the word "Nun Granny", Mora and his group behind him suddenly became nervous.

A fear that is engraved in the bones.

"You guys take a detour and continue forward, I'll go find her." Doris said quickly.

"Doris!" Mora grabbed her, but Doris immediately pulled her hand out.

Her tone was still calm and indifferent, but to the ears of others, it sounded particularly gentle: "Don't worry, I just want to clarify something with my mother-in-law."

Doris seemed no different from usual, but also seemed to have changed a lot, which made them confused, especially Mora who was most familiar with her.

She wanted to go together, but Mora knew her own limitations.

It is precisely because of chasing Doris that we can feel how huge the gap between us and Doris is. There is an unbridgeable gap between the numbers No. 3, No. 2 and Doris’s No. 1.

Can't fall behind.

She nodded vigorously and took the others on a detour.

Nim did not follow them, but stood there at a loss.

Doris comforted him again, then took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Bang!
Gao Song was beaten back again, and he couldn't catch his breath. His legs went weak and he half-knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood foam. Although his breathing was heavy, he still insisted on adjusting.

The old nun leaned on her cane to block out the light, her silver-gray hair was wet and fell down by the rain, and with her gloomy and angry expression, she looked like a devil in the rain.

“Gao Song, Gao Song, Gao Song!” She tapped the ground with her cane, repeating the name of the child in front of her, her tone full of regret: “If Doris is my favorite child, then you are the child I hate the most!”

Gao Song looked up at the old nun.

"You are the little bastard who is the most contrary to my expectations! You have a pretentious appearance, but a heart of stone and no fluctuations! You are indifferent to the death of your friend! You have no tears when your pet is killed! You are just like those cold-blooded bastards who watched my daughter die and then threw her body into the lighthouse at random!"

"If your Light Seed form wasn't equally rare, I would have asked Doris to kill you! And now, you even dared to collude with the illusion! Do you know what you have done! "

The old nun could no longer control her anger and started cursing.

"I know, mother-in-law." Gao Song was finally able to speak, "I just want to kill you."

"What!?" The old nun was a little surprised.

"I am indeed different from Doris." Gao Song said calmly, "She has many hobbies, but I don't. Even though she was treated like that by you, she still carefully protected her heart and tried not to let herself become numb. But I can't do that."

He stood up shakily. "I also feel like I'm an emotionless bastard. Even though all the friends I've known for these years were taken away by you, and my rabbit was killed by what you called an accident... I'm already numb."

"But, mother-in-law, the hallucination spoke to me very briefly. It did not tempt me at all. It just took the form of a dead friend and asked me a question—"

"'Want revenge?'"

"I agreed without hesitation, so quickly that I couldn't believe it myself. Maybe I really am a heartless bastard, but if there is one thing I must say in my life, it is that I really, really hate you, an old woman. Idiot."

Gao Song cursed with little strength, but he pronounced the last two words clearly, and after the initial surprise, the wrinkles on the old nun's face twitched and twisted into a ball.

Outrageous!

"Insolent! Vulgar! Trash on the roadside! Elegant bastard! You are not worthy to stay in my monastery!"

"I do not think so."

The cold voice interrupted the old nun's curse.

Doris came from behind Gao Song, passed him under Gao Song's somewhat surprised gaze, came to the front, and confronted the old nun head-on.

"Being able to scold you openly based on my emotions is, in my opinion, the highest form of grace at the moment. It's something that I find difficult to do even now," Doris said.

The old nun was stunned for a long time.

"Doris..." She murmured, sticking her cane on the ground and stretching out her other hand: "I must be dreaming, Doris, why...why are you here?"

"You are very sober, Sister Granny," Doris said quietly.

"No, no, no, Doris, you shouldn't be here, you should go kill and plunder all the seeds of light and take the last step to become the Lantern Bearer! My Doris, you shouldn't be like this! What did you just say to me!?" The old nun was a little incoherent and confused, tearing her hair with her hands.

"It seems that the dark world has also affected you, Sister Nun. Please calm down and don't let them take advantage of you. As a nun, you look too ugly now."

Gao Song: ...

No, he felt that although Doris' tone was as polite as a customer service representative, her scolding was much more harsh than his own.

“Ahhhhh!” the old nun suddenly let out a hysterical scream and waved her cane wildly.

At this moment, she vaguely saw a blurry figure standing behind Doris.

He was wearing a black windbreaker and had a vague human figure, but his face was just an endless twisted black vortex. His body was dripping with thick black liquid, and behind him appeared a chaotic maze of patterns, wrapped in a gray mist...

Hallucination...hallucination!
It's an illusion again!

"I won't allow it! I won't allow it! Gao Song! Doris! You are not allowed to leave! You are not allowed to leave here! How much I have sacrificed for this monastery! How much I have worked for my child! She is gone, you can't leave!"

She tapped the ground with her cane, gasping violently, her eyes bloodshot.

Zheng pointed at her and said, "Well, we are the two who are suffering from hallucinations, right?"

Question, the cute little lamb girl here is calm and elegant, the tall and thin boy next to her is calm and steady, and tenacious. And the old woman in front is rolling around in hysterics.

Guess which one is the poor guy who is "bewitched" by the horrible hallucination?

The old nun's finger pressed the button on her cane.

"Be careful." Gao Song reminded immediately.

The crutch glowed white, and a powerful force surged into the nun's body, making her white hair disheveled and the hem of her robe flying. Her body, which had been shaky like a dead branch, suddenly became upright.

"That is..." Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes. The feeling of that crutch was very similar to the pure white factor, but the concentration was very high, even much higher than Doris.

"I will immediately purify the filth from you! It's okay, there is still a chance! Doris, you are a good child, you are just confused! You will definitely be my most perfect product!"

the old nun shouted.

"I'm sorry, Sister Granny." Doris put down the violin case and pointed her sword forward. "The puppet wants to sing its own song."
