Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 160 Do you like eating snail noodles?

Zheng Fan took out his little hand puppet.

The good news is that although his power will be limited in the White City, the creations that his property has created are not completely the same. The White World will not eliminate existing entities out of thin air, and the mechanism for fantasy objects will eliminate their supernatural elements to a certain extent.

For example, toast won't jump up and bite people, quilts and shoes won't move around on their own, and the deep special powers are completely sealed.

In this world where guns cannot fire, the harmless little puppet has its abilities restricted. Its ability to speak for Zheng Fan has disappeared, but it still exists and can be moved by Zheng Fan. The feedback it gives is similar to that in the gray block. It can also disappear into reality with Zheng Fan and then reappear as an independent physical object.

From this perspective, Zheng Fan not only broke into the white world as an illusion, but the supernatural phenomena caused by him moving these objects that should not be moved by himself did, in a sense, further bring supernatural elements into this white world.

The fat man was frowning and thinking, why did the girl at the door ring his doorbell? Even though he clearly refused, she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. It didn't seem like a pyramid scheme handing out flyers, it was just...

Suddenly, there was a loud noise coming from the kitchen, which startled him. He stood up suddenly and walked through the messy house to the kitchen that had not been used for some time.

The cabinet where bowls, chopsticks and plates were stored was opened, and the dusty bowls and plates inside fell out and broke into pieces on the floor.

The fat man quickly looked around and leaned on several windows in the kitchen to confirm that the glass was intact and that the window frames had been welded shut long ago.

No one has been here before, and it's impossible for anyone to break in from here.

crunch--

The wooden door creaked.

He turned his head suddenly and seemed to see something flying into the toilet out of the corner of his eye?

Was it a bird? Did a bird fly in when he wasn't looking?
As he slowly approached the half-open toilet door, his heartbeat gradually quickened, and the atmosphere in the room became more tense. He suddenly opened the toilet door and was startled by his reflection in the mirror above the sink.

But when I looked at the toilet again, there was nothing there either.

You're scaring yourself. This is the White City. How can any weird things come in?

Just as he was thinking this and heaved a sigh of relief, he glanced around and then his eyes widened in horror, his face turned pale and he stood there in a daze.

A "black sparrow" hung upside down above the toilet door frame like a bat, and its gray buttons acted as a pair of eyes silently watching him through the mirror.

"what!"

He cried out, turning around abruptly and looking up, only to find that there was nothing there.

But this time he didn't think he had seen it wrong. With all the strange phenomena combined, he was sure that he was definitely not seeing it wrong, and his brain was definitely not ruined by the snail noodles he had eaten in the afternoon!
He hurried to the living room, only to find that a document had been opened on his computer at some point, with a few bright red words printed on the screen:

Do you like eating snail noodles?

The fat man felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. Cold sweat broke out on his body and his heart was beating so hard that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his throat. For a moment, he was confused and stood there at a loss as to what to do. He stopped moving.

At this moment, there was a slight sound, and the door lock of the house had been opened from the inside.

And something outside the house grabbed the door handle and slowly opened the door.

The disheveled woman poked her head in, looking like a vengeful ghost from hell. Her cold and cruel eyes and the hideous scars on her face silently told of countless malice.

"Giggle, gggggg--" A strange sound suddenly rang in my ears, like the resentful cry of a person who is about to die with bubbles stuck in the throat.

"Ahhhhhh!" the fat man screamed, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Lin Yilin's words of greeting were stuck on her lips. She looked helplessly at the black sparrow hand puppet next to her who had pressed the pause button to stop the voice playback on her phone.

"The consequences of eating snail noodles without opening the window for ventilation." Zheng Fan said mercilessly.

Lin Yilin also pinched her nose gently. There was no snail noodle in this room, all kinds of smells mixed together, and it was like fermentation after a long period of lack of ventilation, which was quite disgusting.

This is not the snail noodles’ fault.

She saw the fat man sitting on the ground in fear and said, "Kevin Jacob?"

Jacob's direct descendants, who once relied on the benefits of their family to build a harem, have now become useless people who can be scared by a word of snail noodles?
"Ah? He is that Kevin? Isn't he from the Jacob family? Why is he trying to get Bilott's inheritance?" Zheng Fan was surprised.

Lin Yilin was a little absent-minded, obviously lost in her own thoughts, but still said: "It's not clear yet, but it's obvious that we caught a big fish."

"To be more precise, I caught them right after I broke into the fish den."

"Yes, although the intelligence says that Kevin Jacob is dead, his brothers dote on him very much. Although he is a direct descendant, he is just a waste and is not paid attention to by others, so it is easy to fake his death..." Lin Yilin quickly figured it out.

"The proceeds from the auction of the Bilott family's estate actually went to him... After Jacob's downfall, a hidden method that was hard to guess was the help from Bilott, who had long been a stepping stone for Jacob!"

"Why would Bilot help his enemy?" Zheng asked back with doubt.

"Ten years is not enough to eliminate the hatred between the two families. Bilotte is no longer a famous figure, but there is no time for a new generation. It is impossible for Jacob to entrust such an important matter to the last member of the family, and Bilotte is unlikely to accept it... The most likely reason for the two families, who already have hatred, to struggle and unite in the end is..."

"A common enemy." Zheng continued.

Just entering the house and seeing Kevin immediately opened up Lin Yilin's mind, but at the same time, deeper questions also arose.

What did Yagui Jacob do?
The fat man was frightened and fainted for only a moment, and his brain's protective shutdown was quickly restarted.

But when Kevin woke up, he saw that Lin Yilin was still there, with the black sparrow hand puppet still lying on her shoulder.

"I won't eat snail rice noodle anymore! I don't dare to do it anymore! Never again!"

"Wow, this person makes it seem like I have some prejudice against snail noodles, even though I obviously like it very much." Zheng put his hand on Lin Yilin's shoulder and curled his lips, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Lin Yilin glanced at the big red words on the computer next to her, then silently looked away.

Zheng Fan instigated from the side: "Go up and slap him hard. It's easiest to control a soft persimmon during interrogation. Put some pressure on him first. Yes, just ask him, 'Do you dare to eat snail noodles again?'!" "Let's stop talking about snail noodles. I will take Mr. Hallucination to eat it after this matter is over." Lin Yilin expressed in her heart.

"Hey, that's what I said, Binary sister, you are thoughtful." Zheng Fan squatted beside him and temporarily calmed down.

"Mr. Kevin, please don't be afraid. It's just because you were too vigilant. I was forced to use some unconventional means to get in. It's a common hallucination and psychological suggestion. Just now you were just scaring yourself." Lin Yilin's tone slowed down subjectively, although there was actually no change.

"Halfsinusitis, psychological suggestion?" Kevin looked at the bright words on the computer screen.

Lin Yilin slammed the keyboard and closed the document: "Yes, it's just an illusion, an illusion in a positive sense."

"I don't think any illusion has any positive meaning."

“That’s the relatively positive side.”

"So I don't like eating snail noodles as much as I thought?" Kevin was a little bit unbelievable.

boom!
Lin Yilin kicked the takeaway box next to her away, and Kevin was so scared that he held his breath and dared not breathe heavily.

"... Let's not talk about the snail noodles for now. And no matter how you think about it, it's your own fault that you see snail noodles so frequently. Do you think someone would ask why they eat snail noodles when they are threatening others?"

Kevin felt that made some sense.

“It’s me, your dad!” The Black Sparrow puppet almost jumped up, but Lin Yilin raised her hand to hold it down.

"Then, that hand puppet..."

"It's just a little trick."

Kevin nodded in shock, almost accepting the current explanation.

"You are from the firm." Then he looked at Lin Yilin and roughly guessed Lin Yilin's identity.

"It's just a small office that wants to investigate something. Sorry to bother you." Lin Yilin said politely.

Although Lin Yilin is currently very easy to talk to, Kevin still does not let his guard down. Being able to use hallucinogenic techniques and psychological suggestion so quietly, this girl is definitely a psychopath who looks cute on the outside!
Yes, he had heard that many people in law firms would become like this after dealing with various matters too much.

"You, what do you want to know?"

"Do you know this painting?" Lin Yilin directly took out the photo of Losewei's portrait.

"Losevi..." Kevin immediately said the name on the portrait, his eyes wide open.

Lin Yilin put it away in time: "It seems that you are deeply impressed by this insignificant concubine."

"What's the big deal... After all, she is really beautiful..." Kevin said timidly.

"Okay, what do you know about this painting?"

Kevin shook his head. "That was a painting that Luo Sewei had commissioned when she was still in her family. She brought it with her when she got married. Sometimes I feel that this painting is more beautiful than she is. It has a different kind of charm, even magic..."

Lin Yilin frowned slightly.

"I didn't want her to die in the first place. I knew she didn't like me. None of my wives really liked me. But she was still very nice to me. She wasn't just pretending. She even helped me celebrate my birthday, which I had forgotten."

"How come you really remember it?" Zheng Fan asked.

Lin Yilin also interrupted her recollection and asked, "Did she tell you the specific origin of this painting?"

"...She said that an unknown painter painted it for her and mentioned the painter's studio to me. Other than that, I don't know anything. I don't know when the painting was lost after she died. It might have been during an earthquake. My estate was also affected at the time and a lot of property was stolen, including the painting. In the end, it returned to the Bilott family and I didn't care too much about it. There was no point in caring."

An unknown painter?

Another strange character appeared.

However, anything that could create such a fantasy-like painting is obviously not an ordinary character.

"Where is the painter's studio?"

"It's near the ancestral home of the Bilott family. I remember it should be..." Kevin did not hide it and gave an address after thinking about it.

After noting it down, Lin Yilin continued to ask: "The Jacob family has fallen, but you are still able to hide here. Are you helped by the Bilott family?"

"How did you..."

"That's easy to guess. Be more careful next time you ask them to wire you money, and next time as well."

Kevin understood why he was exposed, but he was also wondering: "The flow of funds in a general auction house is not so easy to be exposed, right?"

"So why would Bilot be willing to help you?" Lin Yilin narrowed her eyes.

Kevin's breathing became heavier, and he clenched his fat hands: "It's all because of that bastard!"

"Yagui?" Lin Yilin continued according to his mood.

"It's him!" Kevin confirmed without hesitation.

"He's a madman!"

"It's all because of this ungrateful bastard! The family treated him so well, taking in a lowly branch of the family and training him, but he betrayed the family! He even destroyed the family!"
