I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 688 - 684 Illusion Realm

Something’s off, very much off.

Qi Yu knowing she wiped out the Blacklist wasn’t surprising. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

After all, she had already relayed the Blacklist’s demise through the dark web of the black market via the Vermilion Bird.

Qi Yu knowing about Taotie’s injury wasn’t surprising either,

After all, within Honghu Hospital, it wasn’t completely sealed.

She could try her best to use benefits and various means to ensure the hospital staff weren’t bribed.

But she couldn’t guarantee that among those medical staff, there were no spies from various powers.

Yet Qi Yu absolutely couldn’t know the details of her extermination of the Blacklist.

Because she didn’t leave any witnesses, and those who survived from the Blacklist were all hypnotized by her.

So how could Qi Yu know the details of her battle with the Blacklist?

Moreover, her spiritual perception ability was a newly developed skill.

Outsiders and those spies from various powers couldn’t possibly know.

Let alone know the detailed range of her spiritual perception.

Even if Qi Yu and various powers had great divine skills, they couldn’t achieve this.

Suspicion filled Fang Xiaocao’s heart, but she dared not retract her spiritual perception, directly extending it to cover a fifty-meter radius.

If that guy dared to show up, as long as he entered within fifty meters, Fang Xiaocao didn’t believe he wouldn’t reveal his true colors.

But as time passed, that guy still didn’t show up.

If it weren’t for that broken branch lying there with a fresh break, she would’ve thought it was her illusion.

But with the broken branch lying within her spiritual perception, how could it be an illusion—

Wait—

Where’s that branch?

Thinking about the broken branch, Fang Xiaocao wanted to examine it further.

To see if the other party left any clues.

But when her spiritual power swept the spot where the branch was once again, she was shocked to find the branch was gone.

Fang Xiaocao’s hair stood on end.

Cold sweat dripped slowly down her forehead.

"Impossible—"

"The branch was clearly there just a moment ago!"

Fang Xiaocao exclaimed repeatedly in her mind.

Her eyes widened in surprise, showing a look of disbelief.

This result was beyond her expectations.

Even saying it was simply too terrifying.

Did she experience a hallucination?

Impossible!

She’s a top-ranked hypnotist in today’s world.

Her spiritual power is among the world’s top tiers.

If she were to experience hallucinations, then most of the world would be deemed insane.

But there was one possibility that could make her experience hallucinations—

That is—

At this moment, nearby or even beside her, there was a hypnotist with spiritual power far surpassing her own.

At the very least, someone with spiritual power on an equal level.

Besides this, there might be another possibility that could lead to this result.

That is, nearby there was a tool akin to a Blood Jade Ring enhancing spiritual power.

Or, the opponent possessed a similar mental power-amplifying tool.

Other than these two possibilities, there was no other that could cause a top-tier hypnotist like her to experience hallucinations.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiaocao took a deep breath.

She inserted the hidden weapon back into the Dagger Bag and quietly took out the Blood Jade Ring, holding it in her hand.

Regardless of the possibility, since she’d already experienced a hallucination, it indicated the opponent had already used their power on her.

Since the opponent silently initiated action, they had ill intentions.

They showed clear malice towards her.

She must first dispel any illusion or negative enhancement possibly existing on her created by the opponent’s spiritual power.

First, she must protect herself, then she could await the opportunity to counterattack.

Otherwise, she would be led by the nose by the opponent’s spiritual power.

Or even fall completely into the opponent’s spiritually crafted illusion, unable to extricate herself.

Fang Xiaocao tightly gripped the Blood Jade Ring and activated it instantly.

As the Blood Jade Ring flickered with a faint red light, Fang Xiaocao felt her mind becoming somewhat clearer.

It seemed as though something before her flashed away the moment the Blood Jade Ring was activated.

Fang Xiaocao instantly became wary, holding the alloy dagger horizontally in front of her chest, ready at any moment to react to an imminent attack.

With the protection of the Blood Jade Ring, Fang Xiaocao felt as if a veil had been lifted from her eyes.

Scanning her surroundings again, Fang Xiaocao was stunned.

The surroundings suddenly became extremely unfamiliar; this wasn’t where she got out of the car at all.

Even the battlefield of the Bionic Robots was nowhere to be found now.

"Could I be having another illusion?"

"Has the opponent’s spiritual power become so strong that even the Blood Jade Ring can’t break it?"

"Then what was the veil lifted just now when the Blood Jade Ring activated?"

"Could it be an illusion within an illusion?"

Fang Xiaocao’s brow furrowed tightly.

The last time she encountered something so bizarre was the first time she met Gemini.

Gemini used hypnotism to set up a multi-layer illusion for her.

Gemini succeeded, thanks to those Blacklist Constellation members using Thousand Faces’ Human Skin Mask to muddle the senses, completing the multi-layer illusion.

"Does this person now possess such formidable skills?"

"Can they set up a multi-layer illusion all by themselves?"

Fang Xiaocao muttered softly.

Clutching the Blood Jade Ring tightly, her eyes vigilantly scanned the changing environment around her.

In this situation, only the Blood Jade Ring could give her a shred of security.

Shhh—

At this moment, a series of fast-moving footsteps suddenly sounded.

Fang Xiaocao’s heart jolted; she hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

The direction the footsteps came from was empty.

There was no one there at all.

Shhh—

The fast-moving footsteps came again, from behind Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao swiftly slashed the alloy dagger in her hand towards her back.

But it cut through the air.

No one!

Just like before, it was empty behind her.

Fang Xiaocao took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

The more it came to this moment, the less she could panic.

She had to stay calm; only with enough calmness could she have the chance to find flaws in the opponent’s illusion.

Fang Xiaocao activated the Blood Jade Ring again, the ring glowing with a faint red light.

The surrounding space seemed to twist slightly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiaocao confirmed she hadn’t guessed wrong.

She was indeed in an illusion crafted by someone using spiritual power.

And this person’s spiritual power was so strong that even the Blood Jade Ring couldn’t tear the illusion.

Fang Xiaocao smiled wryly, cursing her bad luck.

She didn’t know if she should call herself too lucky or too unfortunate.

The luck was in encountering such a rare and powerful hypnotist.

The misfortune was in actually running into them.

And meeting a hypnotist whose strength far surpassed hers.
