Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 538 An Ordinary Office Worker Encounters a Toast Falling from the Sky
The blanket spirit and Lulu shoes still seemed quite lazy during the days when the holiday spirit had not yet faded.

Especially Lulu shoes, because it sent out a lot of its own shoe clones during the Lunar New Year, and now everyone at Banmu Agency has a pair of useful shoes with considerable bonuses.

This might become a starter pack for Banme's agency.

After Zheng Fan was taken away by Lin Yilin, the quilt spirit slowly crawled to the window and spread out. It was the one that needed to bask in the sun the most.

It's been raining for a while now, and my blankets are starting to feel damp.

If a quilt gets damp, it's uncomfortable to sleep under, and people dislike it. That's when it feels like its very existence is being affected!
Zheng Fan lay on the table, watching Lin Yilin's screen.

Zheng Fan wasn't interested in most of the requests, but one that seemed particularly noteworthy was from the Bureau of Investigation, which wanted Lin Yilin to help investigate a violent resident gang that had recently appeared in Xixi Keke.

These are guys who fled from the violent world during the New Year. After the New Year, they banded together to form a force and began operating within Xixi Keke's territory.

I initially thought they were just ordinary petty thugs, but in the past few days, I unexpectedly discovered that some of their members were quite capable and acted in an organized manner, unlike a typical violent gang.

He has committed multiple robberies during the New Year period, with victims including, but not limited to, local banks in Shishikoko, as well as many wealthy businessmen and the valuable art collections of local art museums.

This matter is not a small one, but the agency's commission was not specifically for Lin Yilin. Instead, it was a competitive commission that involved Xi Xi Ke Ke's firm.

Lin Yilin didn't want to compete with others for this kind of business during the Chinese New Year, and she personally had no interest in these violent, itinerant robbery gangs. So, although she received this commission during the holiday, she only paid attention to the progress of the case and then didn't care much about it anymore.

Xixi Keke doesn't only have one agency.

After arranging the meeting times and schedules for the other clients she was to see that day, Lin Yilin didn't linger after finishing her coffee. Even though none of the cases were particularly large, Lin Yilin primarily selected those related to supernatural phenomena.

One benefit of her growing reputation is that the standards she sets can now influence her clients, attracting those who truly align with her preferences and those in need of help. Instead of just any client walking into her office with trivial matters and handing her a wad of cash to do her work.

The agency isn't really a detective agency—at least not Zero-One Agency.

"Would you like to come with me, Mr. Illusion?" Lin Yilin asked Black Cat Zheng as she stood up.

Zheng Fan yawned: "Never mind, I'll take Toast out to play later."

Just as a busy father promises to make time to take his children out to play, Zheng Fan will not neglect toast.

Hearing this reason, Lin Yilin didn't say much. She glanced at the toast, which was still puffed up like a pineapple bun, and said, "That's true. After all, we should spend more time with it."

At least after Zheng Fan appeased it, it could be kept quiet for a while.

Toast harbors resentment and frequently comes to Lin Yilin to cause trouble, largely because Zheng Fan doesn't spend time with it.

Lin Yilin went out.

Zheng Fan lay on the table for a while before getting up, stretching like a cat, and peeking out.

"Pineapple bun, let's go."

The pineapple bun, which had puffed up into a round ball, instantly squared back to its original shape: "Ooh?"

Zheng Fan asked the Blanket Spirit and Lulu Shoes again, but they didn't seem very interested in moving and were enjoying the beautiful sunshine together. Zheng Fan didn't force them and, still in his black cat form, took Toast and ran back to the rooftop.

It turned into a black sparrow, grabbed the toast with its two claws, flapped its wings, and flew up with the toast in its wings.

In the early morning, the neighbor next door woke up and opened the window to welcome the beautiful morning.

However, he saw the building in front of him, and felt a sense of security mixed with a touch of eeriness. It was the Zero One Office, a familiar name to the long-time residents of Xiding Road.

But Zero One Studios wasn't as popular before.

This is all thanks to that little girl. Having an agency like that on the same street is obviously a good thing for the residents here.

However, for the neighbors living nearby, life can become somewhat thrilling and exciting.

Something strange seems to be happening all the time at Zero One Detective Agency, and you can really be startled when you see it occasionally.

Just like a few days ago, when he drew back the curtains, he saw a naked man wearing only underwear hanging in the Zero One Office through the window. He was so frightened that he almost called the police.

As for things like only shoes moving around, using a thick quilt in the middle of summer with a poorly chosen duvet cover, and even having awful toast inside... these kinds of noises are also common.

If Lin Yilin hadn't realized the potential impact on the neighborhood and specifically sent a message in the nearby community informing everyone that all of Zero One Agency's activities were legal and legitimate, people might have been able to tolerate it a little longer.

It's not to the point of disturbing the peace. The main problem is that people might be startled if they suddenly look into that office, making them wonder if they're still half asleep.

For example, right now, this neighbor saw a piece of flying toast fly past him.

Ok……

Ok?
The neighbor's eyes widened, and he leaned out of the window to see the flying toast.

There's absolutely no mistake. With such an aroma and such a golden color, it's undoubtedly the perfect toast treasured by Zero One Studio!
"Dinner's ready!" His family members were already calling him, but after calling several times without a response, they impatiently knocked on his door.

"What are you looking at? I've called you for dinner several times!"

"I saw a flying toast... a piece of toast that can fly, perfect in both appearance and aroma, unlike any other toast..."

Your family fell silent: "Why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll ask the company for a day off for you."

……

When it comes to taking leave, some workers are so fragile that they start to doubt themselves when they see toast flying in the sky, while others... don't even get a holiday during the Chinese New Year!

Mo Mang. This is the commuter who once rode the No. 0 subway with Zheng Fan and Lin Yilin, choosing to face the dangers of the subway simply because he didn't want to miss his early shift the next day.

When he heard the noise in the office, he took off his blindfold and got up from his futon on the floor, scratching his messy hair: "It's dawn."

When Mo Mang's colleagues arrived at work and saw the situation at her workstation, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise, even though they had expected it: "Mo Mang, are you going to stay at the company for the Chinese New Year?"

"I'm still young," Mo Mang replied, seemingly ignoring the question.

"But you don't have a shift today. The boss said you can go home and rest for a few days."

"That's wonderful... I hope he'll be even more generous when he pays me for working overtime during the Chinese New Year," Mo Mang muttered to himself.

He staggered to his feet, cleaned up the traces of his stay over the past few days, and left the company without looking back, carrying his trash and belongings.

His other colleagues in the company looked at him and couldn't help but sigh.

What an ordinary yet dashing and domineering working man!

Mo Mang is just an ordinary office worker.

Mo Mang's sleep quality at the company was very poor. After throwing away the trash, she felt like she was going to die from the sun.

His experience on Subway Line 0 felt like a dream. Although he kept up with news about it afterward, he never went back to that subway.

Because I have to go to work during the day.

He decided to just live his ordinary life peacefully, day after day. Mo Mang was very self-aware; he knew that there were many aspects of this world that he didn't understand, and that he wouldn't be able to adapt to them.

The work is very hard. Although the boss is hesitant to pay overtime, if he is a little firm, he can still get the money in the end. In this respect, he is much better than some of the truly unscrupulous bosses he knows.

Mo Mang is quite satisfied with the current situation.

until today.

An ordinary office worker encountered a loaf of toast that fell from the sky.
