Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 40: Toast in Charge
"There's someone here!"

"Don't do that. The person who was following her said that he saw her go back."

"That must be someone else. Otherwise, why is the coffee still hot? It was clearly freshly brewed!" Someone pointed at the cup of coffee, his fingers still shaking.

"That's impossible. The people watching outside didn't say who she met today. No one else has entered this office..."

"Is it because of the thick fog that we can't see clearly?"

"It's possible."

Having found a plausible reason, everyone hurried to comfort themselves.

"Come out whoever is hiding inside!" Cheng Fei stepped forward and shouted.

"Get out here, we know you're here!"

They shouted loudly, trying to scare the people inside out and to give themselves courage.

Swish——

Suddenly, they heard the sound of footsteps and looked around, but they didn't see any moving figures.

This office is becoming increasingly weird...

"Ah!" Someone suddenly shouted, scaring everyone.

"What! What are you doing? You scared me!"

"No, something just passed under my feet and seemed to have run under the sofa." The person who shouted pointed to the sofa.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed: "...It should be the cats and dogs that woman keeps."

"That's not right. She has never raised anything..." someone said quietly.

Everyone was silent.

"That's the wild animal that slipped in from somewhere. Don't make a fuss and scare yourself. It ran under the sofa, right? I'll catch it for you!" Cheng Fei snorted and walked forward boldly.

He lay down and looked under the sofa.

His eyes suddenly widened.

Actually!

There was a perfect piece of toast under the sofa!

Why is there toast under the sofa? How could that woman waste food? This toast looks so good, what a shame! Can it still be eaten? Why is there such perfect toast...

Cheng Fei's mind was caught in a strange cycle of distracting thoughts.

"Brother Fei! Brother Fei!"

It was not until he was awakened by his younger brother that he belatedly stood up: "What's wrong!?"

"What's under the sofa? You've been in a daze for three minutes..." Everyone was really scared. Weird things had been happening since they came in!
"What are you afraid of!" Cheng Fei shouted, "It's just a piece of toast!"

"Toast?"

Everyone was full of questions.

Oh, it’s toast.

No!

Why is there toast under the sofa? And why can you lie on the ground and stare at the toast under the sofa for three minutes! ?
"Don't believe it? If you don't believe me, take a look." Cheng Fei pointed under the sofa.

His closest younger brother took the lead, lay down, and was also stunned.

The others, seeing this, urged each other to lie down, all in a daze.

A group of people were lying on the edge of the sofa, looking inside through the gap. For some reason, they just kept looking inside with their buttocks raised, in a daze.

"What are you daydreaming about! This is outrageous! Get up!" Cheng Fei waited for a long time and saw that this group of people were acting like idiots. He couldn't bear to watch them anymore, so he called them up.

Everyone stood up, looked at each other, then hesitated to speak, and finally stopped talking.

"There's something wrong with this toast. How could we have stared at it for so long?"

"Yeah, could it be... this is a fantasy?"

This guess is eye-opening.

Fantasy stuff is good, fantasy stuff is valuable. Even the rubbishiest fantasy stuff can fetch a good price on the black market.

"If this is really a fantasy... this is too stupid, toast that people stare at? Hahaha."

After confirming that it was just toast and that it could potentially make them a fortune, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

Cheng Fei groaned twice, then climbed down again to get the toast out.

But when he looked inside, he found that the perfect piece of toast was gone.

Cheng Fei was startled and checked carefully: "The thing is gone!"

"What?" Everyone looked for it, but found nothing.

Cheng Fei frowned and reached under the sofa to feel around...

click!
"Ah!" a scream came out.

Everyone looked at him in horror and found that Cheng Fei was trying hard to pull his hand out from under the sofa, but it seemed that something was holding it tightly and he was unable to break free.

The sound of bones being crushed was horrifying.

"Save me! Pull me out!" Cheng Fei's voice was quite miserable, and some of the more cowardly brothers turned around and ran away.

But there were also reliable people who came forward and grabbed him and dragged him out.

Click!

Finally, with everyone working together, they finally pulled him out.

However, when Cheng Fei reached under the sofa, his forearm had disappeared.

He was sweating profusely, screaming and covering the wound on his broken arm, with blood gushing out. Everyone looked at him and then looked under the sofa, where blood was flowing out and the sound of chewing could be heard.

There's a monster under the sofa!

"Run! Run!"

Drop, drop——

A strange sound was heard, and someone looked over and discovered that it was a black and gold coffee machine in the office. The red indicator light was flashing, and its structure had changed, with a machine gun sticking out of it.

Chu Chu Chu!
Several people were shot and fell to the ground, while the others no longer cared about anything else and scrambled to escape from Zero One Office.

Cheng Fei was the last person left behind. He couldn't move. He was in a blur of consciousness due to the severe pain and his eyes went black due to blood loss.

In this situation, he heard footsteps.

He saw a pair of legs step out of the shadows beside him and stop beside him.

Looking up in disbelief, I saw a blurry figure, emitting a strong black aura. There was only a dark vortex on his face, and black fluid flowed out.

The figure was holding the coffee that he had seen on the coffee table before and savoring it carefully. Even though Cheng Fei couldn't see the other person's face, he could feel the teasing coming from the vortex.

This...this is...

hallucinations.

"Oh?" The voice was unclear, as if it was a severely distorted voice coming from an old radio, and seemed a little surprised. "Can you see me?"

I can't see it.

Cheng Fei really wanted to say this, but he no longer had the energy to do so.

He just stared at the bottomless black vortex in horror. Perhaps because of his injuries or because of his fear, he was unable to do anything. In the foggy night, all he encountered was despair that was devastating.

Hallucination, staring at him.

"It seems that you do have some 'talent', but it's a little tacky. Never mind, just make do with it."

The words fell.

Cheng Fei's body went limp and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Toast dragged its broken arm and crawled out from under the sofa, twisting its butt. It swallowed the last step, with its limp palm still hanging outside. It chewed it a few more times before swallowing it all.

"Ouch!" How dare you call the perfect toast master stupid? You must be tired of living!
"Ouch?"

Well, what about the anti-old man?

Toast looked around, but couldn't find Zheng Fan for a moment.

Suddenly, Cheng Fei's body moved.

Toast alert.

This still moves?
There was only one shadow that gradually lengthened under the light from the street lamp outside, but it was completely different from Cheng Fei's shadow. On that face mixed with sweat and tears, black lines like tear marks spread, and finally a pair of gray eyes suddenly opened.

"This body belongs completely to me..." "Cheng Fei" said with a smile, and there was only one voice in his mouth, which was Zheng Fan's voice.

Toast looked at this scene in shock.

Watching "Cheng Fei" slowly get up from the ground, it was as if some terrifying existence had completely broken free from its cage and was about to bring endless...

thump!
The "devil's" body suddenly went limp and slid to the ground, falling hard.

"Shit! What a useless body! You can't even use any strength! You're the worst class I've ever possessed!"

Then I heard Zheng Fan, furious, with his face buried in the ground, cursing.

Toast: “…”

Well, it’s still the anti-boss I know.
