Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 2: The girl with facial paralysis and scar will not pick up the lonely ghost handsome guy
Not so comfortable either.

The body died not long after it ran away.

Squatting beside the corpse, Zheng Fan held his head in silence.

"Brother, you can't do anything like this when you try to scam me. This has absolutely nothing to do with me," he said.

Of course, the corpse in front of him would not give any feedback.

For the record, corpses cannot possess.

Finally, I tried to cheer up the corpse, shouting "Don't underestimate our bond!", but there was no response, which was a pity.

Zheng Fan was kneading this strong body reluctantly. If anyone saw him, they would probably suspect that he was a homosexual and a necrophiliac.

Suddenly, after Zheng Fan pinched the corpse in front of him a few times, it began to squirm and turned into a black bead that was similar to its previous "original form".

But this bead doesn’t seem to be able to be used to possess a body.

Zheng Fan looked at the bead carefully for a while and felt that the bead seemed to contain some kind of power.

It looked like marshmallows and made him want to try it, but he resisted the urge to do so.

Standing up, he was now on the rooftop of a building, with a wide view that allowed him to take in the scenery of an entire area.

A huge and strange city, brightly lit at night, showing its prosperity.

After looking for a while, Zheng Fan did not stay long and turned and left.

He no longer has a "real body".

According to what those people said before, if the illusion wants to contact reality, it must go through someone as a medium.

If he doesn't find a new employer, will he be a wandering ghost here for the rest of his life?

……

One month later.

Zheng Fan was lying on a bench in a park in the city, staring blankly at the white clouds floating across the sky.

Can't find it.

He couldn't find it at all. Since the beginning, he had been wandering around the city trying to find something he could touch, but he couldn't find it. And there was still no one who could interact with him.

Even though supernatural factors are very common in this world, they are almost open in this megacity called "Dadu", which is known as the center of this world.

But one supernatural thing does not mean it can solve another supernatural thing. This is the situation with Zheng Fan now.

When you show up in front of those so-called masters with super powers, they won't be able to react at all.

"It would be better if it were taken away and destroyed." Zheng Fan said.

During this month he gained a general understanding of the situation in the world.

In the city of Dadu, many "worlds" of different "colors" are separated based on people's psychology, behavior, expression, concepts, cognition, etc.

Most areas in the city are a white, peaceful world, where daily life and economic operations are the main expressions, and violent acts will be restricted or even banned there.

The place where he is now and the place where he escaped from before are collectively called the Gray District.

It is an unsecured area, where overlapping of worlds often occurs, strange events abound, and some things left over from the overlapping of worlds also circulate there, mixed together.

Including the same stream of illusions as oneself.

as well as……

Zheng Fan recalled the blackness he saw when he first saw this world.

A dark fantasy world. Mainly expressed in false, unrealistic fantasies, uncontrolled desires, etc. The source of the supernatural elements in this world.

This world does not exist in reality. It simply overlaps with the world people know, causing all kinds of strange phenomena.

That's how illusions come about.

I am just an illusion.

As he sorted out his thoughts, Zheng Fan felt inexplicably sleepy. He squinted his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly a shadow covered him, blocking out his sunlight.

He opened his eyes and looked at the person who came.

A young girl.

First of all, the most eye-catching feature is her delicate face and shoulder-length, inward-curled, fluffy brown hair. However, she has two faint horizontal scars, one on her right cheek and one under her left eye. The shallow scars are still noticeable against her fair skin, destroying this beauty.

A white shirt, a black coat that was a little too big for her, and a pleated skirt paired with a pair of long white legs.

A sad beauty.

After Zheng Fan made this thought, he stood up, thinking that she wanted to sit on this chair. Even if he couldn't touch it, he didn't want to be "stacked" with someone for no reason, especially if someone sat on him.

Maybe some perverts will enjoy it.

Of course, Zheng Fan's hallucinations came and went freely during this period. He had already seen what he should and shouldn't have seen, and he was tired of the dark fantasies in the minds of ordinary people.

"Slightly curly hair, grey eyes, Chinese appearance, black windbreaker, white lining, striped trousers, boots... It's exactly as I thought, a handsome guy."

But the next words that came out of the girl's mouth made Zheng Fan stop in his tracks.

He looked at the other person, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Can you see me?"

"I saw it very clearly." The other party replied.

You can also have a conversation.

"You can still touch it." She stretched out her hand again.

Zheng Fan hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand to shake hands.

Warm touch, you can feel the delicate skin, real.

Zheng Fan felt it for a moment and took his hand back: "In other words?"

"Sight, hearing, and touch. The three prerequisites for invasion are all perfectly met. Even if I want to resist now, a powerful illusion like yours can be easily suppressed." The other party said bluntly.

Just as she was about to continue, Zheng Fan raised his hand and asked her to be quiet.

He stood up, his tall figure allowing him to look down at the girl in front of him: "Name?"

"Lin Yilin." She maintained her gaze with Zheng Fan, her tone barely fluctuating.

"Zero-one-zero?"

"You are probably reading numbers, but it doesn't matter. As long as it is recognizable, it will be easier for you to remember." Lin Yilin said again.

This little girl has a good insight. "You came to see me specially? How did you do it?" Zheng Fan had been observing the surroundings since the beginning, wondering if this was a trap, but there was no reaction from the people around him, it didn't seem like those uniformed men had come to his door.

Lin Yilin gave him the feeling that she was more like the folk group he had seen more often in recent days, the group of people called the firm.

"You have been active on Sad Laughter Road for a while, and there have been many sightings. I have been collecting intelligence on this and tracking your whereabouts."

"Wait, can anyone see me?" Zheng Fan immediately frowned.

"Yes. Many illusions, when active, may have a subtle connection with reality even if they have not yet achieved invasion. This is reflected in the fact that someone may see your image or hear your voice as if under a delusion."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fan rubbed his chin with one hand and fell into deep thought.

This is not good...

I think no one saw him doing those dirty things these days.

Lin Yilin continued, "And some time ago, during the Black World Overlap Incident on April 31st, the authorities in Xixikeke Street allowed the Oneness Illusion to escape."

Zheng turned his head and looked at her again: "Is this the beginning of you actively collecting intelligence on me?"

Lin Yilin nodded in affirmation.

Zheng Fan sat back on the bench and crossed his legs nonchalantly: "Okay, then why did you go to so much trouble to find me? I should be something terrifying in your eyes."

"Black is a terror, but it is also an opportunity," Lin Yilin replied, "I need your help."

……

No. 102, Xiding Road, Xixike Street, Zheng Fan looked at the sign of "Zero One Office" in front of him. It was originally a good sign, but it seemed to have been maliciously graffitied and damaged. Lin Yilin took out the key from the bag behind her back and walked in as if nothing had happened.

The place is not very big, the style is simple and it looks a bit old, but after careful matching, it creates a sense of classic simplicity.

There is a large desk in the back of the room, and in the middle is a reception area with two large, dusty sofas and a separate small sofa. The small sofa is particularly exquisite, with high-quality leather and no dust.

"Go ahead." Lin Yilin said as she put down her bag.

"No need to be polite, just speak frankly." Zheng Fan said as he looked at the scene.

Lin Yilin looked around the interior of the office and said, "This is my office. It is mainly responsible for solving some incidents caused by the overlap of worlds. There are countless offices of my size in the Gray Street District."

Zheng Fan nodded to show that he understood.

Most of the trivial matters at the grassroots level are outsourced to non-governmental organizations. These non-governmental organizations are large and small, and most of them exist in the streets and alleys of gray neighborhoods in the form of offices.

"Originally, the head of this firm was my adoptive father. With his personal ability and prestige, he was well-known in Xixikeke Street. Unfortunately, he passed away not long ago. Now I am the only one managing the firm."

Lin Yilin paused and said, "I want to maintain this firm, but the relationships between firms in the gray area are mostly bad. If you want to gain a foothold, you have to face a lot of competition. This firm has made many enemies, and it still continues today."

Having said that, Zheng Fan almost understood something.

"You want me to stand up for you?"

Lin Yilin nodded: "In addition to the commonly said plundering of the body and invading reality, illusions can also directly provide people with extraordinary power."

Zheng Fan was a little surprised.

Is this where those super powers come from?

"If you want to continue working in this industry, strength is indispensable. That's why I'm looking for you so urgently." Lin Yilin said seriously, staring into Zheng's eyes with clear eyes.

"You should know the risks of pursuing illusions." Zheng said in return.

To be honest, Lin Yilin's momentum is very strong, and the most important thing is that it is obvious that the other party has a lot of detailed information about the bottom of this world.

She could even find Zheng Fan wandering around before those uniformed men called the Processing Bureau.

The gap in intelligence made Zheng Fan a little undecided. After all, he had no idea how many pitfalls there were in a deal.

You know, he is just hallucinating.

But no matter what, we cannot lose momentum.

Be deep.

However, the appearance of Lin Yilin is undoubtedly an excellent breakthrough. If we give up here, how long will we have to wait for the next person who can interact with us?

Ok……

Perhaps we can change the conversation situation so that Zheng Fan will feel more confident.

Lin Yilin waited for Zheng Fan's reply, holding a simple homemade talisman paper with one hand behind her back.

She was also very nervous.

After all, the other party was an illusion. She only speculated that the illusion might not be aggressive based on the oral witness information of others. If it was an illusion with strong intentions, then others would be directly targeted by him even if they witnessed it for a short time.

The people she questioned are still safe and normal, so she speculates that Zheng Fan may be suffering from a relatively safe type of hallucination.

Moreover, such a normal and dignified illusion was the only one she had ever seen.

Very...human, almost like a person.

Either he has actually grown to this level through multiple invasions, or he has grown to this level with just one known invasion record from April 31st to now.

fear……

But no matter what, it is an opportunity and she will try to fight for it.

However, she was not completely unprepared to protect herself.

As she was thinking, she suddenly found herself distracted.

He suddenly felt something was wrong and when he came to his senses in a hurry, he found that Zheng Fan in front of him had disappeared.

I wanted to look for it, but my body was unable to move.

She glanced at the mirror hanging on the wall next to her.

In the mirror, her dark brown eyes were covered with gray, with tear marks extending from the corners of her eyes, which mixed with the scars on her face made her look somewhat hideous.

The shadow under her feet split into two.

How is it possible... Although she did directly complete the three stages of sight, hearing, and touch in order to show her sincerity, she still had to overcome the final mental barrier to invade.

"Don't worry, we haven't taken it all away yet, only half of it. You are very smart, so I need a little more sense of security." At this time, Lin Yilin spoke herself, with a male voice overlapping her own female voice.

Grab half?
I've never heard of a hallucination where you can grab half of it!
Lin Yilin was brainstorming, but her expression remained calm, although she couldn't make any expression even if she wanted to.

Zheng Fan couldn't move Lin Yilin's body, but just standing there frozen was enough.

He could also feel the fluctuations of Lin Yilin's spirit, which was indeed very stable, and it would be difficult to rob her by force. The first body he used to escape was already riddled with holes when it was first replaced. It was a cheap second-hand product, plug and play.

"Okay, let's continue to discuss in detail how to establish a good physical transaction relationship."
