Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 494 Metamorphosis

A burst of powerful music began...

My name is Luo Ye, a free man from Dadu.

In early March this year, during the New Year, I received a letter from my family whom I had not contacted for a long time. Out of curiosity, I chose to go home, but was attacked by unknown people on the way.

Because I was focused on the woman in front of me using complex and powerful illusions, I didn't notice her partner's other accomplice.

I was affected by some powerful force used by that man, and when I came to my senses, I realized...

My body has shrunk!
If the current situation were to be exposed, those guys who are keeping a close eye on me would definitely be eager to take the opportunity to get rid of me, and my future would probably be very bleak.

Therefore, under the coercion of this illusion beside me, I have to recite this meaningless narration to the air and conceal my identity by using the pseudonym "Agatha Fisher".

To unravel the many mysteries surrounding this homecoming, I must enlist the help of Zheng Fan…

A free man whose body has shrunk but who is still all-powerful!

There is only one truth!
The accented note in the music ends.

……

"Have you had enough fun?" Luo Ye looked at Zheng Fan speechlessly.

She was wearing her old red coat, which used to be so stylish it could now be used as a blanket. Her body had shrunk, and naturally, her previous extravagant clothes no longer suited a little kid.

Only those small round-framed sunglasses could barely fit him.

"Miss Agatha Fisher, do you have any change of clothes?" Zheng Fan wrapped Xiao Luoye's body in his coat and carried her to the passenger seat of the car. He then threw Luoye's other clothes, shoes, and underwear into the back seat.

“Even if they brought me, they couldn’t have brought me from when I was a child! My current body is probably from when I was... eight years old. Unbelievable, were those two trying to humiliate me!?” Miss Fisher was now looking at her delicate hands with great anger.

Click!

Luo Ye suddenly turned her head and saw Zheng Fan smilingly taking pictures of her with his phone.

"Don't take pictures!" Luo Ye's face turned red with anger, his golden eyes were trembling, and his body was shaking, making him look extremely cute.

She's so much cuter now than when she's grown up; in fact, there's no comparison at all.

“The power of time, right? I can use the ‘clock’ to turn myself back…” She immediately started picking at her tongue, gagging and vomiting a few mouthfuls of saliva, but nothing came out.

"...Are you alright?" Zheng Fan raised an eyebrow.

"How is this possible? Illusion magic... I can feel that the illusion magic is still there, but where are the illusions?!" Luo Ye raised his head and shouted at Zheng Fan.

As everyone knows, the once invincible Luo Ye will turn into a soft and cuddly Xiao Ye when his illusion reserves are depleted.

And perhaps because her body has shrunk, she is now even teary-eyed, as if she might cry at any moment.

She looks exactly like a little girl whose snacks have been stolen.

Zheng Fan patted her head helplessly: "Alright, alright, let's analyze the situation."

Luo Ye turned her head and shook off Zheng Fan's hand, quickly calming down. Although it seemed that her body had been reversed to when she was eight years old by the time-traveling ability, her spirit and consciousness remained the same.

It's true that being eight years old slightly affects her performance, but not significantly. As long as she keeps her emotions stable, she can remain calm.

In terms of physical strength and other aspects, he has undoubtedly returned to the weak state he was at the age of eight.

Eight years old... She was experimented on from birth, and at the age of five, she was thrown into a dark world to try and survive. From the age of six, her potential was exploited for a long time until she was eight years old when she finally got a chance to escape. This point in time was when she underwent the greatest transformation in her past.

The point of transformation is none other than...

Luo Ye's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, seemed lost in thought.

"Have you thought of anything?"

“Tsk, ‘Prism Force’. Although I don’t know who that bastard couple is, they are undoubtedly from Prism Force. They’re not afraid of the half of the people I killed back then. They’ve made quite a few preparations while I was away.” Luo Ye uttered a completely new term.

"what is that?"

Luo Ye looked at Zheng Fan: "The secret special forces of Dadu are directly under the central government. Their status is far higher than that of the Processing Bureau and the Tide Army. Even from the perspective of the white world, and only from the perspective of the central government of Dadu, their importance is even greater than that of the Lamplighters. The members have no uniform characteristics. They are all beings who have been absorbed and cultivated through various channels. Among them are those who have mastered powerful illusions or even illusion realms, top-notch murderers, some Lamplighters with special talents... and even powerful beings from other worlds."

"Is the Imperial Guard, like a personal guard?"

Luo Ye nodded slightly: "That's not a problem either. This is a force that will never be deployed as long as the central region is not threatened, even if most of them are in chaos. They are the most elite white gloves, protecting only the interests of a very small number of people at the top."

"And now they're targeting you... You're saying this has happened before?"

"Because I helped various people in the central government deal with all sorts of troubles, I ended up getting burned. I remember it was when I first entered university. But I wasn't too affected. After I killed half of them, they backed down. I went back to investigate and killed several suspected central government officials, and eventually the matter was suppressed."

Luo Ye patted his head: "I know they won't give up easily and are just waiting for a better opportunity. After graduating, I left Dadu not only because I felt that Dadu was meaningless, but also because I found these shady insects annoying. But it's been too long, and I've basically forgotten about them."

Zheng reflected and said, "You shouldn't be being followed. I haven't found anything strange along the way. They probably set up an ambush here early on. They knew you were coming back, and this road should be the only way back to your hometown."

Luo Ye nodded: "Whatever the real purpose behind that letter that brought me back is, there is no doubt that the central government of Dadu is involved and intends to use this opportunity to eliminate me, a thorn in their side."

She looked at her child in the rearview mirror.

“This is just the first wave.” Zheng Fan got into the driver’s seat. “The goal of this man and woman is to turn you into a child and greatly weaken your power. The woman has a highly integrated illusionary world and is wholeheartedly protecting the man, while the man’s power is probably… the system.”

Luo Ye frowned: "System..." Annoying thing, an inexplicable and powerful force that can easily break through people's worldview.

"The reason they didn't let others come along is probably because they were worried that if there was even the slightest mistake during the process, they might fail. That complex and intricate process leaves no room for error in front of you. They have to make sure that the power of time can weaken you to the point where you can't resist it. Otherwise, reversing three or four years shouldn't have much of an impact on you," Zheng Fan continued.

"That's true." As he spoke, Luo Ye shuddered again, clutching his chest and sweating profusely.

"what happened again?"

"Damn it, it's bloodline sensing..." Luo Ye gasped, "Although my body has shrunk, I still have the family bloodline. They can sense that I've become weak!"

It wasn't just Dadu who wanted to kill Luo Ye. His family members, who came from violent families, naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to kick him while he was down because of his extremely arrogant and infuriating attitude in the past.

Zheng Fan then said, "Going back to your hometown now doesn't seem like a good option. Your condition shouldn't last much longer. Sigh, let's go find the little zombie first."

"Tsk..." Luo Ye was very annoyed. How long had it been since she had "escaped"?

But I had no answer.

Zheng Fan tossed her a set of children's clothes: "Alright, it's good that you suddenly decided to ask me to come, otherwise it would have been really hard to say if you were alone."

"Hmph, I'm not easy to bully at eight years old either..." Luo Ye quickly composed himself and changed into the children's clothes Zheng Fan had given him while still in his seat.

She was wearing a little red dress, which was the color she liked, but Luo Ye had never worn a dress before, and felt that wearing a dress would make him look like a girl.

It's unrealistic to ask Zheng to exchange clothes, so I'll just have to make do with what I have.
