Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 163 Doll Girl and Hand Puppet

Zheng Fan turned into a black sparrow and circled in the night sky of Linjiu City, but he didn't find anything interesting.

Suddenly I miss those damn sparrows.

Humph, he will definitely break it next time!

Since he had nothing to do, he decided to go and see how the lamb was doing. During this period of time, it seemed that she had gradually sent some of the abducted children back to their original places.

Originally, Zheng Fan was still wondering whether their actions would lead to a visit from the processing bureau, but Lin Yilin said he was overthinking it.

The internal system of Dadu was far less efficient, and Kuroki had destroyed the databases of the town and the lighthouse in advance, so the processing bureau was unable to identify the children in the monastery and was unable to conduct an investigation.

One of the main investigators in the processing bureau is Hong Yijia, and Lin Yilin has also informed him in advance.

As long as the aircraft is not exposed, most people don't care about the return of missing people. After all, it is normal for a few more or less people in the gray city.

When Zheng Fan came to Xiaoyang, he found Xiaoyang sitting in a car.

Doris was wearing a black lace dress that set off her fair skin. The hollow design on the arms revealed a cryptic beauty. With her temperament, it looked like an elegant dress. Her slender legs were as smooth as jade, and her feet were wearing sandals that revealed her cute toes.

Sitting in the driver's seat was the tough family man, Tickman. Looking at the back seat, sure enough, his son, little Nim, was sleeping in the back seat.

"It's getting late. Does Mr. Tickman need to rest?" Doris asked after looking at the electronic clock in the car.

Tikman stared at the road ahead and shook his head. “No need. We’re almost there. It would be troublesome to stop and find a place to rest now, but it will be easy to find once we get to the block.”

He gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, trying to hide it well on the surface, but it was obvious that the real reason was not this.

"Are you smelling the streets of Xinjiang?" Zheng Fan asked suddenly.

But Doris was just stunned for a moment, then she looked up with joy and saw Zheng Fan sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Mr. Music! Good night, long time no see." There was clear joy in the first voice, but it was quickly soothed by the word good night, and by the time they hadn't seen each other for a long time, everything was completely back to normal.

When Tikman heard Doris's voice, he was frightened for a moment, but he soon realized that the mysterious illusion seemed to be coming to Doris again. He said nothing and looked straight ahead.

"Long time no see, looks like everything is going well here."

Doris nodded. "It's great that some children have been reunited with their families and are back to their original lives. Now that we have some free time, Gao Song and Hei Mu will take care of the rest. I'll come and take Mr. Tickman home."

"Are we almost there now? Well, it seems we are almost there." Zheng Fan asked himself and answered himself quickly, because the road the car just passed while he was talking was the same road that Lin Yilin and he drove today.

But the direction we are going is different. The signpost here says Jiangwen Street.

Zheng Fan did not feel the restraint of the white world, so to be precise, they had entered the scope of Xinjiang Wen Street.

"Finally you ended up here too." Zheng Fan said in a low voice.

The lamb, which was originally very far away, suddenly flashed to Jiangwen Street. Now the distance between his three "mechas" was closer than ever before.

"Also? Does Mr. Music have any acquaintances here?" Doris caught it very keenly.

"Well, Unit 2 is here because of something, and Unit 1 is working in the White City next door."

"It's Miss Witch and Miss Killer, right?" Doris confirmed the address. Zheng Fan had told her about the two seniors and asked her to call them whatever she wanted.

Doris didn't understand the nickname "Binary", so she followed Xixi Koko's rumor and called her a witch.

"Yes."

"I would also like to thank Miss Witch for her help this time. Please ask Mr. Music to convey my gratitude for me." Doris said very politely.

She also knew that Lin Yilin was the mastermind behind the events in the monastery and Blackwood Town. Zheng Fan used her body to kill the old nun, but she was still a little worried about the future of other children in the monastery.

However, after Zheng Fan reported the situation to the monastery, he finally put his mind at ease.

"I appreciate it on her behalf. She doesn't want to be thanked anyway. You are not her client, and you won't give her money." Zheng Fan said casually.

"If so, how much money would it cost?"

"Because it's my relationship, it's free. Hers is mine, yours is mine, and you are all mine." Zheng Fan snapped his fingers. As he spoke, the car drove into the busy street. Although he said he wanted to rest, Tikman still drove to his home on the outskirts of Jiangwen Street with a clear goal.

He obviously wanted to see his wife earlier.

But, I couldn't stop feeling uneasy inside.

Even though the wife who had been with him for three years was fake, the experiences of those years were still so real in his memory.

It was originally filled with warmth, companionship, and anticipation, but now all of that is gone.

The bright future he promised her, of moving together to the white city, also disappeared.

I don’t know what my wife will think of him.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Nim in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and felt even more worried.

"He will be easily exposed to hallucinations in the future. Among all the children here, he is the only one who has not received strict anti-hallucination training. And his light seed, which is of high quality but has not yet borne fruit, can easily cause hallucinations. You have to be careful." This is what the damn Hei Mu illusion told him.

He has been playing tricks on him for so many years and even involved his children. What a jerk!

"Calm down, Mr. Tickman, everything will be fine." Doris, who was talking to Zheng Fan, noticed Tickman's inner turmoil and turned around to remind him softly.

Tikman could only take a deep breath and nod vigorously.

The streets of Xinjiangwen in the suburbs were much quieter. There was no other light on the road except the street lamps that were so dim and useless due to years of disrepair.

Tikman's car stopped at a somewhat dilapidated apartment building.

"Nim..." Tikman turned around and called his child.

Then he saw a black sparrow hand puppet gently stroking Nim's head, which startled him and made him realize that it was the illusion that did it.

Nim heard the voice and opened his eyes sleepily, "Are we there yet, Dad?"

"Well, here we are. We are home."

Nim climbed up and looked out the window: "Really! We are back."

The child didn't realize there was a black sparrow hand puppet on his head. He opened the car door and followed his father out.

Doris also followed them, but her eyes were fixed on the black sparrow hand puppet lying on top of Nim's head. Then she suddenly reached out and grabbed the puppet.

"Mr. Music, your hand puppet."

"Oh, take it first. If you like it, I can give it to you." Zheng Fan said casually.

"Can I really keep it?" Doris's clear eyes sparkled.

"Well, it's only a few hundred dollars."

"Thank you."

"There's no need to be so distant. By the way, have you written any music recently?"

"Yes, I found some time to write a few songs, trying out various styles. I'll let Mr. Music take a look later. I haven't played them for anyone else yet."

"Okay."

Doris and Zheng Fan were chatting in the back, which made Tikman, who was walking in front, feel a little scared.

The place was remote and dark. In the back, a pretty girl with skin so white that it looked a little unreal was holding a hand puppet and "talking to herself", revealing a warm expression on her face that he had never seen in the days they had been together.

Does it look good? Very good.

Is it scary? It's really scary.
