Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 385 Inspiration
Once a consensus was reached, it became much easier to discuss other matters.

However, this scheming woman, Hong Yiyi, also wanted to subtly obtain the first album of the Monastery band, which was not easy to come by on the streets of Nolan at the moment.

Although Gao Song did have a few albums he wanted to quietly give away to show off, they refused, thanks to a certain bald-headed robot's suggestive gaze—don't ask where that bald-headed robot's gaze came from.

As far as Zheng Fan is concerned, Harry Potter can only be fooled once, but he can't expect to get his own precious album for free.

Hong Yiyi naturally noticed the restless robot next to her turning its head back and forth when she asked the question, and her cheeks puffed up.

"Why pretend to be young when you're already married?"

"It's just a wedding, don't make it sound like I've suddenly aged," Hong Yiyi retorted.

Zhong Zuo smiled gently and then said, "Anyway, thank you all for your help this time. Besides helping Yi Yi relieve some of her pressure since she's been quite busy lately, there's another thing I wanted to confirm directly. Miss Doris, are you a super-sensory person?"

When asked the question, Doris blinked: "I don't think so."

"Is that so? But you can indeed gain some extraordinary inspiration and turn it into tangible power," Zhong Zuo said noncommittally.

"This is probably related to some of my own issues. If you really want to categorize it, you can consider me one, but I'm still quite different from normal super-inspired individuals." It was a bit complicated to explain, and Doris didn't know how to put it. She couldn't very well say that besides her own talent, a large part of her inspiration came from the Seed of Light and the Music Master, could she?
Who would understand if I said that? It just sounds like I'm making things up. Besides, it's really not something you can just talk about casually.

Although she spoke vaguely, Zhong Zuo roughly understood: "In any case, as the core of the Monastery Band, you wrote and composed many of the songs yourself. Considering that the quality of the songs is always breathtaking, the possibility of you being targeted by the super-inspiration hunters is very high."

Then Zhong Zuo introduced what kind of group the Super Inspiration Hunters are.

The members of the monastery band frowned upon hearing this.

"Is it really necessary? To hurt others for a mere, fleeting inspiration?" Mora asked, utterly perplexed.

“I’ve wanted to ask that question before, but those who can’t let go of their dreams, or those who pour everything into the path they believe in to the point of madness, are already mired in the quagmire.” Zhong Zuo said, his eyes lowered, and Hong Yiyi reached out and patted his shoulder.

Although Zheng Fan always felt that if there weren't so many people around, Hong Yiyi's actions just now were an attempt to pull Zhong Zuo into her arms.

These in-laws are really something...

As for what Zhong Zuo suddenly thought of when he was reminded of the scene, who else could it be but that "old friend" from the wedding?

“Ordinary people can’t understand, and as a potential victim, Doris has even less reason to understand these lunatics.” Mora didn’t care about such nonsense; she just remembered Jerome from White Records.

After the monastery's treasures arrived in Dadu, their fame grew, attracting more and more shady characters.

Although Doris didn't need anyone to protect her, she still felt very irritable.

"That's right, we're just giving you a heads-up. There are a few hyper-sensory hunters in that file. I suggest you keep a close eye on your surroundings. They're very good at hiding, and their methods are often to take advantage of the chaos." Zhong Zuo reached out and pointed out a few people in the file as individuals to be paid special attention to.

Everything looks fine so far. The true identities of many targets have been confirmed, and even those whose true identities are unknown have some other information.

But when you get to the next file, there's one that's almost completely blank, with only a few simple descriptions.

"What is this?" Tao Zhi asked immediately.

The Bureau's codename for him is "Insect Eater," a super-sensory hunter whose main characteristic is a giant fleshy worm. His crimes have spanned a full seven years.

However, there are no clues about its true identity, and it is speculated that the other party has the ability to completely change its appearance or even its entire body.

Since the first confirmed crime, he has committed dozens of supernatural hunting cases over the past seven years, the most famous of which was the murder of a well-known painter about three years ago.

That painter was a true supernatural being; his resume alone surpassed that of most so-called supernatural hunters who, in reality, had only bullied a few ordinary people.

The entire file seemed to merely inform everyone of the person's existence in a biographical style, without providing any further details. "According to our informant, there were traces of insect-eating creatures in Nolan Street during the earthquake. The most distinctive feature of these creatures was that insect that resembled a fantasy object," Hong Yiyi added. "The insect-eating creatures are very likely located in Nolan Street. If that's the case, it's unlikely that it would miss such a major event as the joint performance."

Doris nodded: "I understand, we'll be careful."

"I won't say any more. You guys came all the way from a remote place like Stanley Street to Nolan Street, so there's no point in being wary of anything." Hong Yiyi said, then suddenly clapped her hands: "Ah, I haven't treated you to anything after talking for so long. Would you like something to drink? Or something for a late-night snack? This place is pretty good for being located in the Bureau of Investigation."

“Water is fine,” Mora and Tao Zhi said.

"Coffee, extra sugar, please." This was Gao Song.

"Do you have any wine?" Doris asked blankly.

"Is engine oil okay?" Zheng Fan asked, resting his sexy, steely chin on his hand.

Hong Yiyi: ?

……

After a casual meal and drinks, the members of the monastery band said their goodbyes and left.

It's getting late.

In Xixi Keke's words, most parts of the city are currently dark, but Nolan Street seems to have some streetlights restored.

Especially the distant town of Shengmu, even though it seems like there aren't many people there during the day, it looks very lively at night with its bright lights.

Logically, they should go back and rest. They also need time to discuss and prepare for the fishing project in cooperation with the processing bureau.

However, seeing Doris and Zheng Fan walking and chatting happily beside her, Mora took the initiative to say, "Then we'll head back first. Doris, would you and Mr. Music like to stroll around outside for a while?"

Doris turned around upon hearing this, looking somewhat hesitant.

Gao Song said directly, "Then we'll head back. Come back early, though staying out overnight isn't out of the question. Be careful, we're on the rise right now, what if the band's core member suddenly gets pregnant..."

Snapped!
Mora slapped Gao Song, then, her face flushed, dragged him away, leaving Tao Zhi to quickly follow.

Doris watched their retreating figures as they fled, but showed no unusual reaction. She simply tilted her head in confusion and asked, "Hmm?"

Zheng Fan and Doris then decided to return to Saintwood Town at night to see if there were any changes after the lights were turned on.

However, Doris remained somewhat silent at first, and Zheng Fan did not disturb her thoughts.

After a long while, she belatedly looked up and asked, "Can I still get pregnant?"

"What? Is there some setting that prevents you from getting pregnant?" Zheng Fan originally didn't want to say anything about this, but he subconsciously became concerned when he heard this.

“I don’t know, but I’ve heard the nun say before that no one from the Seed of Light’s experiments has left any records of offspring, and I can’t be sure about my current situation,” Doris said calmly, without any emotion.

"This kind of thing doesn't matter. Even if we don't have a physical child, we can have as many spiritual children as we want, right?" Zheng Fan pointed to his head.

Doris paused for a moment, then blushed and cupped her face in her hands, smiling as she said, "That's true. Mr. Music's visit today gave me a lot of inspiration and motivation."

"Even those with extraordinary inspiration can't necessarily produce a high volume of work and maintain an extremely high standard. Little Sheep, you're even more amazing than those with extraordinary inspiration," Zheng praised.

"Because the inspiration I receive is not something beyond the world, it just comes from myself and Mr. Music."
