Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 650 Factor Deficiency Disorders

“‘Pulse’,” Du Lian said, “one of the spokespeople deep within the dark world.”

"Pulse? Is that the code name for that thing? And... a spokesperson? Does the dark world really have spokespeople?" someone in the crowd asked doubtfully.

Yes, although Zheng Fan has encountered and dealt with several representatives from the depths of the underworld, in the eyes of most people in the capital, whether there are representatives in the underworld is still an uncertain matter.

Although the End-of-Line Society published related articles to discuss this issue a long time ago, there has been no concrete evidence to date.

The closest they came was a suspected object that appeared in Jiangwen Street during the earthquake. However, the relevant samples did not end up in the hands of the End Society, and the investigation was controlled by the Pure White Society. After several slow advances, the investigation has almost come to a standstill.

However, the End Society also nearly collapsed after the earthquake, which cannot be entirely blamed on the Pure White Society's monopoly.

At this moment, Du Lian's sudden public announcement of this concept on this occasion also startled many people.

Although Du Lian's expression showed no abnormality, he almost dropped his tablet. His screen was also flooded with exclamation marks and question marks after his colleagues in the group shared the message.

Unfortunately, the End-of-Line Society has only recently "researched" and "discovered" this thing.

The proof comes from the fact that his tablet doesn't have a "face-to-face quick transfer" function at all.

But this is no joke. If it were any other kind of note slipped under his nose, Du Lian would just ignore it, but this non-existent face-to-face fax was incredibly convincing…

This "note" wasn't just randomly slipped in.

This incident has once again escalated in its severity, and there is much discussion that can be drawn from it.

Kalux listened from the side, his expression calm. The few members of the Pure White Society and the Beacon had long ago learned of the Black World's representatives through constant probing.

However, even they could not fully and clearly understand the specific details of these multiple spokespeople.

The malice deep within the dark world is still far too intense.

At that moment, someone from the end of the association shouted, "We've made contact! We've made contact with the Inspur factory!"

Everyone perked up, and the leaders quickly gathered around the communications unit.

After learning how to perform various debugging tasks at the terminal, Inspur's team finally contacted the factory.

"Something has attacked the factory... We... are fighting back... The shuttle and teleportation points have all been destroyed... The enemy is very powerful... There are many illusions... Requesting rescue... Requesting rescue..."

Intermittent, distorted sound came through the communication.

"We have received it and are preparing a rescue plan. Please share more information about the factory. Rescue is on its way!" the liaison officer of the Wave Army said hurriedly.

Zhou Yinzhu turned her head and made a hand gesture, and the people from the handling bureau quickly began to prepare.

Although Zhou Yinzhu was used to acting alone, the rescue operation could not be managed by her alone, and it was necessary to assemble a fully functional team.

However, they may have to face a mysterious representative of the underworld, which is the biggest uncertainty in this incident.

At that moment, Calux was also looking at his communication device when he suddenly saw a message from Eliadodike.

He made no comment, but silently raised his head and looked at the busy processing bureau in the distance.

Before long, the rescue team was organized, led by Zhou Yinzhu, with Lu Chongming also in the queue.

With the help of the Pure White Society, the End Society opened a new door within a door, temporarily allowing them to bypass the black and go directly to the other side of the door.

"The door is set up. Please pass through quickly within three minutes!" Du Lian said rapidly.

Just as Zhou Yinzhu was about to leave, Kalux also came out: "I'll go with you."

"You?" Zhou Yinzhu faced him, her brows furrowed.

“Our Lighthouse has observed the factory from another perspective. The factory has now been pulled into a highly integrated illusionary realm. This illusionary realm is merging with the factory. If we delay any longer, even if you enter, you may be trapped inside. We have already dispatched the Lighthouse Keepers who are stationed in the Black World. At that time, we will also need a Lighthouse Keeper like myself to act as an inside agent.” Kalux’s reasoning was very sound, and he sent Zhou Yinzhu the intelligence from his Lighthouse.

After learning about it, I can confirm that it is indeed credible enough.

“Then let’s go together.” Zhou Yinzhu didn’t hesitate any longer.

Within three minutes, the rescue team, including Kalux, entered through the door.

Lu Chongming felt the surrounding images flickering like static on a television screen. During this time, he suddenly felt someone press and pull on his shoulder. The next moment, he found himself alone in a passageway.

"Huh?" He was stunned.

Where is the main force?!
Normally, there's no indication that they'd be broken up, right?

"I've set up an extra coordinate for you, no need to thank me," Zheng Fan said, feeling much more comfortable in the dark world after all.

"What's the point of doing this?" Lu Chongming asked.

"This is the Wave Factory, there's a lot of stuff here," Zheng Fan laughed. "Let's learn together. Besides, although buying the spaceship won't cost me my own money, it would be better if we could exchange it for something readily available here and get a discount, wouldn't it?"

It was truly touching to see the top figure at the Central Bank of the United States.

“You don’t need to worry. It’s just that it’s easier for you and me to act alone. I won’t make you put my will first. If you want to save people, then save them first,” Zheng Fan added.

Just as Lu Chongming was about to express his gratitude, his communication device rang.

"Lu Chongming! Please respond if you hear me!"

"Chief! I'm fine. It must be that there was some fluctuation in the coordinates during the teleportation!" Lu Chongming replied immediately.

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end said, "When acting alone, prioritize your own safety and maintain constant contact."

"clear."

After agreeing, Lu Chongming also began to take action in the factory.

The walls, which should have been pristine white, were now covered with intricate black patterns, and black particles drifted through the air from time to time. The surrounding silence was eerily profound.

As Lu Chongming passed a corner, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes.

At this moment, the corridor in front of him suddenly changed into another form. The main structure remained the same, but some of the decorations were more old-fashioned, while the walls looked newer.

Blink, and the corridor returned to its current state.

"That was just now..."

"What's wrong?" Zheng Fan asked, glancing sideways.

“It might be that Jin Qunhou’s memories were triggered by revisiting the place,” Lu Chongming said.

"The Fantasy Factor stuff is really complete. Could you one day become a ruthless person who can create super spaceships by hand?"

"This is a bit difficult..." Lu Chongming stammered.

That's asking too much of anyone.

"Forget it, it's not your turn to rub it by hand anyway," Zheng Fan said.

With his solid professional knowledge and a few minor "cheat codes," Jin Qunhou could secretly build a spaceship all by himself. Zheng Fan, on the other hand, lacked such solid professional knowledge and could only rely on his powerful cheat codes.

Suddenly, Lu Chongming saw several corpses.

After Zheng Fan confirmed that there was no problem, he immediately went forward to check.

It was indeed someone from the Wave Factory, but after examining the body, Lu Chongming strangely discovered that he couldn't determine the specific cause of death.

Is the inexplicable cessation of bodily functions a kind of hallucination?

No... this strange feeling of deficit without any clear pathological characteristics seems very familiar.

Lu Chongming's eyes slowly widened, his pupils trembling violently.

"Factor deficiency syndrome?!"

His voice was trembling.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Fan turned around and read the information about the corpses: "They are indeed suffering from factor deficiency syndrome. They have completely lost their fundamental basis for existence in this world, and their bodies died on the spot due to lack of support."
