Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 55 Illusion

"Big brother, we have to take down this Phantom Butterfly!"

Luo Xia said somewhat excitedly.

If it weren't for his good eyesight, he would have missed this extremely rare and precious monster!

Luo Feng nodded: "Let's go!"

The two brothers flew directly towards the direction of the Phantom Butterfly by stepping on the shield!

In order not to disturb the Phantom Butterfly, Luo Feng and Luo Xia dodged the monsters on the ground all the way, fearing that their roars would scare the Phantom Butterfly away!

They proceeded cautiously and soon arrived at the location of the phantom butterfly.

This is a cathedral, and many parts of it are dilapidated, but fortunately, the window with the huge stained glass is still intact.

The phantom butterfly was attached to the glass.

It is almost integrated with the glass, and it is easy to miss if you don't look closely.

Butterfly-like monsters are not very large.

Even the Phantom Butterfly, a beast general-level creature in front of us, is only about the size of a basketball.

Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged a glance, but neither made a significant move.

The Phantom Butterfly is an extremely alert monster. It will immediately notice any disturbance and then flee.

The Phantom Butterfly is incredibly fast.

Ordinary martial artists would never be able to catch them.

"It shouldn't be able to detect this distance..."

Rorschach whispered to himself, looking at the phantom butterfly on the stained glass.

At this moment, they were about a hundred meters away from the glass where the phantom butterfly was located.

Luo Xia stared intently at the disguised phantom butterfly. Because of the phantom butterfly's special characteristics, he and Luo Feng both felt that the best way to hunt it was to use their mental powers!

Otherwise, if they let that phantom butterfly get away, they would cry out in their dreams at night, "What a pity!"

The phantom butterfly remained motionless on the glass, as if it were dead, seemingly completely unaware of Luo Feng and Luo Xia's approach.

Rorschach took a slight breath.

The next second, the 9-series throwing knife that was attached to his leg suddenly flew out!

Luo Xia's mental power has now reached the level of a mid-level War God. When the flying knife is launched, it is like teleportation, and it will hit the Phantom Butterfly in an instant!

However, at this crucial moment...

An invisible force suddenly emanated from the Phantom Butterfly.

As its dreamy wings flapped, Luo Xia and Luo Feng suddenly stopped, their expressions becoming blank.

……

woohoo hoo...

The fan spun wildly, but it still brought the hottest air currents of August.

Luo Xia sat in the computer chair, with the laptop he bought when he was a freshman in college in front of him.

Even without running any games, the computer's built-in fan was still humming.

Rorschach looked somewhat bewildered.

Am I hunting phantom butterflies?

How did I end up here?

He instinctively pinched himself.

"Ouch, that hurts!"

Rorschach grimaced. He knew the Phantom Butterfly had the ability to create illusions, but how could this be...?

This was the room I was in before I traveled through time.

How could a phantom butterfly create images it has never seen before?

Could it possibly read other people's thoughts?

Rorschach paced back and forth in the room. Everything was familiar: the computer, the teacup, the fan, the computer chair, and even the coat hanging on the chair…

"call……"

Rorschach took a deep breath and muttered to himself.

"This must be an illusion created by the Phantom Butterfly. Think about it, Rorschach, use your clever little brain to figure out how to break through this illusion..."

……

woohoo hoo...

The fan made a whooshing sound.

As Luo Feng read his book, he would occasionally glance at the stroller in the room. When he saw his two younger brothers sleeping peacefully, he smiled.

At this moment, the baby sleeping in the stroller on the left woke up.

Luo Feng was startled, fearing the baby would cry, so he quickly put down his book, leaned over the stroller, put his finger to shush, and then whispered to the baby inside:

"Xia, don't cry."

"Mom went out to buy groceries. She'll be back soon..."

Inside the stroller, the baby named Xia seemed to understand her brother's words. She blinked her eyes, didn't cry, but just stared quietly at the ceiling with her bright eyes.

"Good girl."

Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his younger brother was not crying.

"Waaaah..."

At that moment, another baby sleeping next to them suddenly started crying.

Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly went over and picked up the baby bottle hanging next to the stroller, saying to the baby inside:

"Xiaohua, don't cry, are you hungry?"

"Brother, give you a bottle."

The baby took the bottle, put it in his mouth, and sucked on the milk while crying.

"Don't cry, Mommy will be back soon!"

After a while, Xiao Hua, who had been crying, finally stopped crying while holding the milk bottle.

Luo Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, sighed, and looked at his quiet third brother beside him, chuckling softly, "Xia is such a good boy, never cries or fusses. Do you want some milk?"

Xia seemed to understand her brother's words and nodded.

So Luo Feng quickly handed the other baby bottle hanging on the stroller to the baby inside.

The fan was whirring.

Luo Feng looked at his two younger brothers and, seeing that they had stopped crying, sat down to the side, picked up the book he had been reading and continued reading, waiting for his mother to come home.

……

The real world.

Luo Feng and Luo Xia stood frozen in place.

As for the flying knife that Luo Xia controlled, it was affected by some invisible force at the last moment, and its direction was deflected. Instead of hitting the Phantom Butterfly, it shattered the huge piece of colored glass with a loud crash!

Amidst the swirling shards of glass, phantom butterflies danced gracefully.

Under the sunlight, its flapping wings refracted a dreamlike halo!

……

"I advocate letting it run its course if it can't be stopped..."

The phone suddenly rang, and Luo Xia was startled. After looking around, he finally found his phone on the bed.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was an unknown number.

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Luo Xia answered the phone.

"Feed?"

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Rorschach?"

"Ah, it's me. And you are?"

"Here's what happened. Not long ago, when I was driving across the road, I accidentally hit a woman."

I've taken her to the hospital now, and I got your contact information from her phone call. Is your mother named Gong Xinlan?

Luo Xia was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Ah, that's right, my mother's name is Gong Xinlan."

"It seems I haven't called the wrong person. Your mother's condition is very dangerous. Could you come to the hospital?"

Which hospital?

"Yian District First People's Hospital"

Are you sure my mom is really at the First People's Hospital of Yi'an District?

"Of course, would I lie? Don't worry, once your relatives arrive, I will compensate you for everything that is due. Please come as soon as possible!"

Luo Xia listened to the voice coming from the phone, narrowed his eyes, and then walked to the window and looked outside.

All that could be seen beneath the white clouds and blue sky was nothingness.

This empty space gave him a strong sense of crisis.

If Luo Xia were to rush out because he was worried about his mother, he would probably be swallowed up by this nothingness!

only--

Although he has a mother named Gong Xinlan.

But that was after time travel.

Before he transmigrated, his mother's name wasn't Gong Xinlan...

"I'm sorry, I can't go."

Luo Xia said to the person on the phone.

"Huh? Why?"

The voice on the phone sounded strange and surprised.

Rorschach simply smiled and said calmly:

"Because my mom is probably chatting with other middle-aged women in the neighborhood right now!"

"..."

Luo Xia hung up the phone before the other party could reply. He looked at the familiar room in front of him and sighed silently.

really……

I may never be able to go back to the world I used to live in.

With a sigh.

Rorschach's pupils suddenly turned a brilliant gold.

In his vision at that moment, a dreamlike butterfly appeared, fluttering gracefully outside the window.

At the same time, the golden sphere in his mind shone brightly, and his ocean of spiritual energy surged.

……

Click!

"Mom! Is that you back?"

Hearing the door open, Luo Feng got up with a happy expression and looked towards the doorway.

A woman with a slightly tired face pushed open the door, carrying a basket of vegetables and meat.

The person who entered was none other than Luo Feng's mother, Gong Xinlan.

Gong Xinlan remained expressionless, unmoved by her eldest son's gaze, and simply walked slowly toward the stroller.

"mom?"

Luo Feng asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with you?"

He thought his mother was worried about his two younger brothers, so he added, "They're very well-behaved. They woke up once just now, and then I gave them their bottles and they fell asleep again."

Gong Xinlan had already walked to the side of the stroller.

She looked down at the two children in the stroller, then suddenly turned to look at Luo Feng, coldly saying, "Have you always hated these two younger brothers? Because their birth robbed us of our love for you?"

Luo Feng was taken aback and looked at his mother.

He suddenly felt a sense of unease.

What is Mom saying?

How could I possibly hate my younger brother and the others?

Although her parents looked at her less after Xiaohua and Xiaxia were born, she never hated her younger brothers because of it.

They are so cute...

"So, I killed them, and now I can give you all the love that your father and I have for you."

As Gong Xinlan spoke, she pulled a kitchen knife from the basket.

Immediately afterwards, her face hardened, and she gripped the kitchen knife and slashed at the two babies in the stroller without hesitation.

"No!"

Luo Feng suddenly roared, and he didn't know where he got the strength from. His body, which was only two years old, suddenly rushed out and knocked Gong Xinlan flying.

Gong Xinlan was knocked to the side.

Luo Feng was panting heavily. The gradually blurring Gong Xinlan in his vision made his eyes sharpen.

"Damn it! I've been pulled into the illusion of the Phantom Butterfly!"

As Luo Feng spoke, he suddenly looked out the window, where a dreamlike butterfly was gracefully dancing in a void.
