Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 536 The Perfect Toast is Still Evolving
Later that evening, Jiang Si drove back to the Ginger Building.

The streetlights outside the building were damaged when the Luo family attacked it, and they haven't been repaired yet. Jiang Si drove through the dark road with her headlights on.

Just as I was about to get home, a figure suddenly appeared from the side and rushed directly in front of the car.

Before the car lights could even illuminate the other person's face, Jiang Si was so frightened that she slammed on the gas pedal.

boom!
The people who rushed out turned into stones that skipped across the water, skimming across the road before finally stopping after scraping against the ground for a while.

"Holy crap, there are people who dare to stage accidents right next to my house, even targeting this car? Is it because the streetlights aren't fixed and they can't see it?" Jiang Si blurted out, unable to understand what kind of person would be so foolish.

"Wait a minute, that person looked familiar." Luo Xingxing, of course, wasn't drunk; she was perfectly sober, just a bit scatterbrained. She reminded Jiang Si of this.

Jiang Si seemed to be deep in thought.

They got out of the car and took a few steps forward. Luo Xingxing lit a star cell as a light.

However, before they got close, they saw the person in front of them suddenly twitch and leap up like a zombie.

Vanessa!

really……

Hearing this heart-wrenching scream, Jiang Si narrowed his eyes and silently stepped aside. The grotesque figure—Second Brother Jiang Huang—rushed forward, ignoring the lacerations on his body from the sharp spears, and began to rub against the car while crying bitterly.

"I always thought it would be my second sister-in-law."

“I think it’s best not to tell your parents about this… well, even the most open-minded parents usually need time to process this kind of thing…” Luo Xingxing said, not entirely sure.

“You’re right,” Jiang Si remarked.

He cried and sobbed like a woman for ages. It was the first time that the arrogant second brother had ever acted so pathetic. This had nothing to do with Jiang Si. The carriage slave was truly terrifying.

After a moment, Jiang Huang calmly stood up again: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I should have rested. But I was worried about you, so I've been on duty waiting for you to come back."

We'll keep you in the dark about who you're waiting for.

Jiang Si mentally complained.

Vanessa told me it bumped into a lot of boring things today, but those things weren't much of a problem for it. They were just speed bumps on the road.

"How do you know about speed bumps?" There's no such thing in the violent world.

Vanessa said you've been nagging.

Jiang Si looked at the hedgehog-shaped car: "Is there a dashcam or something on it that I didn't notice?"

"Huh? How could I possibly store something like that?" Jiang Huang asked, puzzled.

It actually doesn't seem like he's lying.

Zheng Fan also made an X behind Jiang Huang and gave Jiang Si a signal, meaning that there really wasn't one.

Luo Xingxing and Jiang Si looked at Jiang Huang with strange expressions: "Brother, can you really talk to machine spirits?"

"Sincerity is key, but not all cars are willing to talk to me. Vanessa was also very aloof at first." Jiang Huang lit a cigarette, looking weathered, as if he was about to recount his "love history."

To be honest, I'd really like to hear about this, but it's getting late, so I'll go home first.

However, Jiang Si and the others walked home for the last part of the journey because Jiang Huang wanted to drive Vanessa back to the garage himself.

Her car is fine, but there's definitely something wrong with how her brother takes care of it.

……

Thus, this farce, which took place around the New Year in most parts of the world, came to an end.

Looking back, quite a lot has happened in these short three days.

Zheng Fan also experienced the customs and culture of this violent world, and to be honest, he genuinely liked it. If he had been born here earlier, perhaps there wouldn't have been so much internal strife; they could have just gotten things done.

Some people don't fit in here, while others yearn for it.

Chaos, disorder, and anarchism abound, yet there's also a lot of love. For Zheng Fan, it's a good place.

But you can't stay here forever; it's better to treat it as a good place for a vacation and relaxation.

Jiang Si will stay at home during the Spring Festival, and will likely remain there for a while afterward. On one hand, she wants to learn more about love from her father; on the other hand, the fact that most people are prone to violence might be a harbinger of something, and she wants to stay home to fulfill some of the responsibilities she hasn't been able to during her years of traveling around.

Although Luo Xingxing was somewhat eager to go to Dadu, she wasn't in a hurry. She valued her identity as Jiang Si's follower very much, so she didn't plan to run around recklessly.

Thus, Zheng Fan could only return to Dadu alone.

When Zheng Fan returned, he saw Lin Yilin carefully making something in her hands.

He didn't reveal his presence directly, but moved closer to see what Binary Girl was doing.

"Mr. Illusion?"

As soon as they got closer, Lin Yilin seemed to sense something and started looking around.

No way, even the host shouldn't be able to sense him this well, right? The sensing has always been one-way between Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin. But perhaps because she's unlocked the stable second stage, Lin Yilin can now sense Zheng Fan in both directions to a certain extent.

Zheng Fan stopped pretending and walked out directly, saying, "I feel like I'm going to be constantly watched by your 'catch-the-cheat radar' in the future."

"Oh ho ho, that's the first thing that comes to mind? Mr. Illusion's mind is full of affairs, isn't it?" Lin Yilin laughed when she saw Zheng Fan.

"But the perfect crime you mentioned back then has always left a deep impression on me."

"Actually, I was just joking."

"what about now?"

"seriously."

"hehe."

Zheng Fan looked at her hands: "What are you doing?"

Lin Yilin didn't hide anything and showed it to Zheng Fan: "The handmade doll isn't that difficult." It was a rather shabby little black sparrow doll.

Unlike Zheng Fan's silly yet wise eyes, this black sparrow had a completely dejected look in its eyes, as if it were saying, "Let me die already."

This doesn't resemble me at all.

It's the perfect size to hold in one hand, a round, black ball with a bit of white.

"How did you come up with the idea to do this?"

"Because the toast mocked me for not being able to do crafts for you." Lin Yilin maintained her smile, but you could sense the resentment she felt towards a certain unruly piece of bread.

Following Lin Yilin's gaze, Zheng Fan saw the valuable model of the Forbidden Machine Demon Tabu, a New Year's gift from Luo Ye, placed on the coffee table in the living room.

It's already pieced together?

It's even colored?!
Previously, Zheng Fan had to help with coloring the toast because I'm not sensitive to colors at all; all I can think of is golden yellow.

If toast has a hometown, it must be the land of gold.

The Tabu series is generally characterized by dark colors, but Toast still poured his own aesthetic into this expensive model.

However, its aesthetic level seems to have been miraculously improved without Zheng Fan's knowledge.

The gold color is perfect, with rich variations in shade and depth, and the electroplating is applied just right. It also doesn't hesitate to use other colors for embellishment.

My goodness, Perfect Toast Master, you can even do this?
Zheng turned around and looked at the little sparrow in Lin Yilin's hand again. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Lin Yilin said with a smile, "I suggest that Mr. Illusion should keep what he wants to say to himself."

"...Actually, you did very well too. To be precise, these two things can't really be compared side by side," Zheng said with a forced smile.

"Hmph." Lin Yilin rarely threw a tantrum at Zheng Fan.

Although it's mainly about evil toast.
