"Big bro, we have to catch that Phantom Butterfly!"
Luo Xia said with excitement.
If it weren't for his sharp eyes, he would have missed this extremely rare and precious monster!
Luo Feng nodded, "Let's go!"
The two brothers directly stepped on their shields and flew towards the Phantom Butterfly!
To avoid disturbing the Phantom Butterfly, Luo Feng and Luo Xia avoided the monsters on the ground, fearing that their roars would scare it away!
They were cautious and soon arrived at the location of the Phantom Butterfly.
It was a cathedral, and many places were dilapidated, but fortunately, the window with the huge stained glass was still relatively intact.
The Phantom Butterfly was clinging to the glass.
It was almost fused with the glass, making it easy to miss without a careful look.
Butterfly-type monsters aren't usually very big.
This Beast General Level Phantom Butterfly, for example, was only slightly bigger than a basketball.
Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged glances, neither making any sudden movements.
Phantom Butterflies are extremely alert monsters. Any disturbance and they'd notice it instantly, then take off.
And Phantom Butterflies are incredibly fast.
Ordinary martial artists wouldn't even dream of catching them.
"It shouldn't be able to detect me from this distance…"
Luo Xia whispered, looking towards the Phantom Butterfly on the colored glass.
At this moment, they were about a hundred meters away from the glass where the Phantom Butterfly was located.
Luo Xia focused his attention on the disguised Phantom Butterfly. Because of its special nature, both he and Luo Feng felt that using Spiritual Force would be the best way to hunt it!
Otherwise, if this Phantom Butterfly got away, they'd be shouting "What a pity!" in their sleep that night!
The Phantom Butterfly was still perched on the glass, unmoving, as if dead. It seemed completely unaware of Luo Feng and Luo Xia's approach.
Luo Xia took a deep breath.
The next second, the Series 9 Flying Knife attached to his leg suddenly shot out!
Now that Luo Xia's Spiritual Force had reached the Intermediate War God level, the flying knife flew out as if teleporting, about to hit the Phantom Butterfly in an instant!
However, at this crucial moment.
A formless power suddenly emanated from the Phantom Butterfly.
As its dreamlike wings fluttered, Luo Xia and Luo Feng's bodies abruptly froze, their expressions becoming vacant.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The fan spun frantically, yet it still only brought the most scorching airflow of August.
Luo Xia sat in his computer chair, the laptop he bought in his freshman year in front of him.
Even without running any games, the computer's built-in fan was still humming.
Luo Xia's expression was somewhat dazed.
I wasn't hunting Phantom Butterflies?
How am I here?
He instinctively pinched himself.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Luo Xia grimaced. He knew Phantom Butterflies could create Illusions, but how could this be...
This was his room from before he had even transmigrated.
How could a Phantom Butterfly create something it had never seen?
Could it read other people's minds?
Luo Xia paced back and forth in the room. Everything was familiar: the computer, the teacup, the fan, the computer chair, and the jacket hanging on the chair…
"Hoo…"
Luo Xia took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"This is definitely an Illusion Realm created by the Phantom Butterfly. Think, Luo Xia, use your clever little brain, how to break this Illusion Realm…"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The fan made a whirring sound.
Luo Feng was reading a book, glancing at the baby carriage in the room from time to time. When he saw that his two younger brothers were sleeping soundly, he smiled.
At that moment, the baby sleeping in the stroller on the left woke up.
Luo Feng was startled, afraid the baby would start crying. He quickly put down the book in his hand, leaned over the stroller, and put a finger to his lips, shushing him. Then, he spoke in a low voice to the baby in the stroller:
"Xiao Xia, don't cry."
"Mom went out to buy groceries. She'll be back soon..."
Inside the stroller, the baby named Xiao Xia seemed to understand his brother's words. He blinked, didn't cry, and just stared at the ceiling with bright eyes, quietly.
"Good boy."
Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his brother wasn't crying.
"Waaah…"
At that moment, the other infant sleeping beside him suddenly started to cry.
Luo Feng was taken aback, then quickly went over. He picked up the baby bottle hanging on the side of the stroller and said to the infant inside, "Xiao Hua, don't cry, okay? Are you hungry?"
"Big brother will give you the bottle."
The infant took the bottle and put it in his mouth, crying as he sucked the milk inside.
"Good boy~ don't cry, okay? Mom will be back soon!"
After a while, Xiao Hua, who had been crying, finally stopped crying, holding the bottle.
Luo Feng wiped the sweat from his brow and sighed. He looked at his third brother, who was very quiet, and chuckled, "Xiao Xia is still good, never cries or makes a fuss. Do you want to drink milk?"
Xiao Xia seemed to understand his big brother's words and nodded.
Luo Feng quickly handed the other bottle, which was hanging on the stroller, to the baby inside.
The fan whirred overhead.
Luo Feng watched his two younger brothers. Seeing that they had stopped crying, he sat 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.
At the last moment, the flying knife that Luo Xia had controlled was affected by some kind of invisible force. It veered off course, missing the Phantom Butterfly. Instead, with a loud clang, it shattered the large, colorful glass pane!
Amidst the flying glass shards, the Phantom Butterfly danced.
Under the sunlight, its fluttering wings refracted a dreamy halo!
"I advocate letting things be if they can't be stopped…"
Suddenly, a phone rang. Luo Xia was startled and looked around before finding his phone on the bed.
He picked up the phone and saw an unknown number.
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Luo Xia answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mr. Luo Xia?"
"Yes, it is. Who is this?"
"Well, it's like this. Not long ago, I was driving across the street and accidentally hit a woman."
"I've already taken her to the hospital. I got your contact information from her phone. Is your mother's name Gong Xinlan?"
Luo Xia was taken aback, then narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled.
"Yes, that's right. My mother's name is Gong Xinlan."
"It seems I haven't found the wrong person. Your mother's condition is very dangerous. Can you come to the hospital?"
"Which hospital?"
"Yian District First People's Hospital."
"Are you sure my mom is really at Yian District First People's Hospital?"
"Of course. Why would I lie? Don't worry, I will compensate you once your family arrives. Please come as soon as possible!"
Luo Xia listened to the voice on the phone, narrowed his eyes, and then walked to the window, looking outside.
He saw nothing but emptiness under the white clouds and blue sky.
This empty space gave him a strong sense of danger.
If Luo Xia had been concerned about his mother and rushed out, he would have been swallowed by this emptiness! But—
Although he had a mother named Gong Xinlan.
That was after the transmigration.
Before the transmigration, his mother's name wasn't Gong Xinlan...
"Sorry, I can't go."
Luo Xia said to the person on the phone.
"Huh? Why?"
The voice on the phone seemed very surprised and puzzled.
Luo Xia just smiled and said calmly, "Because my mom should be in the neighborhood chatting with the other aunties right now!"
"..."
Luo Xia hung up the phone without waiting for a reply. He looked at the familiar room in front of him and sighed silently.
Indeed…
I might never be able to return to my original world again.
A sigh escaped him.
Suddenly, Luo Xia's eyes turned a brilliant gold.
In his vision, outside the empty window, a Phantom Butterfly appeared, dancing gracefully.
At the same time, a dazzling light burst forth from the golden sphere in his mind, and his Spiritual Force sea surged.
Crack!
"Mom! Is that you?"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Luo Feng stood up with a look of joy and looked towards the entrance.
A slightly weary-looking woman pushed open the door, carrying a basket of vegetables and meat.
The person entering wasn't anyone else, it was Luo Feng's mother – Gong Xinlan.
Gong Xinlan had a blank expression. Facing her eldest son's gaze, she remained unmoved and slowly walked towards the baby carriage.
"Mom?"
Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled. "What's wrong?"
He thought his mother was worried about his two younger brothers, so he added, "The younger brothers are very well-behaved. They woke up once, and then I gave them the bottles, and they fell back asleep."
Gong Xinlan had already walked to the side of the baby carriage.
She looked down at the two children in the baby carriage, then suddenly turned to look at Luo Feng and said coldly, "Have you always hated these two younger brothers? Because their birth took away our love for you?"
Luo Feng was stunned, looking at his mother.
He suddenly felt a sense of incongruity.
What was Mom talking about?
How could he possibly hate his younger siblings?
Although his parents' attention had lessened after Xiao Hua and Xiao Xia were born, he had never hated them because of it.
They were so cute…
"So, if I kill them, all of your dad's and my love can go to you."
Gong Xinlan said this as she pulled a kitchen knife out of the basket.
Following that, her expression turned fierce, and she gripped the cleaver, unhesitatingly hacking towards the two infants in the stroller.
"No!"
Luo Feng suddenly roared, not knowing where he found the strength. His body, just over two years old, charged out and slammed into Gong Xinlan, sending her flying.
Gong Xinlan was knocked to the side.
Luo Feng gasped for breath, his gaze fixed on the gradually fading Gong Xinlan, causing his eyes to sharpen.
"Damn it! I was actually pulled into the Phantom Butterfly's Illusion Realm!"
Luo Feng said, then suddenly looked out the window. In his vision, a dreamy butterfly was dancing gracefully in a void world.
