Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 546 Luo Shi and

Luo Shiyu suddenly turned around and looked around.

"What's wrong?" his teammate asked.

Luo Shiyu said, "I just felt like I was being watched." As he spoke, he moved closer to the source of the feeling, and then suddenly peered over the transport truck to look inside.

Nothing.

Luo Shi looked down at the truck again, but found nothing amiss.

"Aren't you being too sensitive, Shiyu?" a teammate remarked upon seeing this.

"It smells like very good bread." Luo Shiyu's words were quite surprising.

The surprising thing is that none of the other teammates present were from the van, so they didn't understand what he was saying and found his words inexplicable.

Are you hungry from anger?

"No...didn't I tell you? The reason our van suddenly had an accident was because we grabbed someone, and that person was carrying a piece of toast that was probably a fantasy object. That piece of toast had a strange, bewitching power, and it was also quite aggressive, which directly caused our vehicle to crash," Luo Shiyu said while inspecting the vehicle.

He twitched his nose, examining the item as he said, "This scent is similar to what I smelled before... but it's very faint. Is it residue from the money?"

At this moment, Mo Mang was sweating profusely while holding the toast. Just as Luo Shiyu came over after making a discovery, he quickly used the toast's cutting ability to sneak back into the truck.

How can this person be so perceptive!

My heart pounded, especially when I heard the other person mention the smell of toast.

However, Toast wasn't nervous at all and kept wriggling in his arms.

As Luo Shiyu was about to get into the truck, Mo Mang suddenly slapped Toast's butt. Toast was unhappy but understood what he meant. He turned his head, cut open the truck bed, and pulled Mo Mang into the driver's seat.

Luo Shiyu searched through the remaining pile of money inside, but there was still nothing wrong with it. Apart from the faint aroma of toast that made him feel something was off, he didn't find anything.

[Hint: Your anger has gradually clouded your judgment; a bold attempt might bring about a breakthrough.]

Mo Mang: ?
He was so nervous that all he could hear was his own heartbeat, but now this prompt seemed to be urging him to do something.

He could understand the first half of the sentence. It was roughly saying that although the leader of these robbers had not yet found them, he was basically certain that Toast had infiltrated their ranks.

What does the second half of the sentence say? Is it another opportunity to guide him out of this predicament? But that's too vague!

Mo Mang's brain is working.

Bold attempts—what kind of attempts can be considered "bold" these days?

Luo Shiyu's voice rang out: "Everyone, search! That piece of toast that caused all the trouble has definitely slipped in!"

"What?" someone asked in confusion.

Mo Mang felt his heart stop.

"It's breadcrumbs. I found breadcrumbs in the back and inside the car. If the smell can be explained, I can't convince myself of these breadcrumbs. They must have been hiding somewhere in this hideout without us noticing. If we don't want to be found before the transaction is complete, we'd better search for them!"

Luo Shiyu's words made everyone present tense. Without questioning Luo Shiyu, they quickly looked around.

Even if the toast can cut through space to travel, the distance is limited, and it will be found sooner or later if it continues like this!
Luo Shi got out of the car and joined the others in the search.

Mo Mang held his breath and lay down in the driver's seat of the truck, his whole body turning into a statue.

Toast really wanted to go out and explode with them.

However, it seemed to strangely sense the meaning conveyed in Mo Mang's eyes, and once again incredibly suppressed its restless nature.

The opportunity will come soon.

Although Luo Shiyu had already discovered the existence of the toast, because of Luo Shiyu's previous investigation, they had subconsciously ignored the investigation truck.

Their manpower is now spread out in this fairly large base—a typical abandoned building somewhere in Shishikoko. There have been quite a few more of these abandoned buildings since the earthquake.

In short, they are gradually moving away from the truck and will not actively turn back to look for it for the time being.

Luo Shiyu rummaged through the pile of money they had just moved out, confirming it wasn't there. He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the truck again: "I haven't checked the driver's seat yet..."

Mo Mang quickly got up and sat directly in the driver's seat.

He'd never driven a big truck before, but he'd played some mysterious truck driving simulation game, and he started the engine and shifted gears with practiced ease...

Hearing the sudden engine noise from the truck, everyone was startled and looked sharply at the truck.

The next moment, Mo Mang started the car.

Full speed ahead!
Bang!
The truck slammed through the already loose iron gate, turned around, and sped away.

"Holy crap! Chase them!"

The robbers immediately gave chase, cursing and swearing. Luo Shiyu was also in pursuit, but he suddenly realized something and immediately warned, "Don't chase them!"

But it was too late, or rather, the team members took this matter too seriously. Putting everything else aside, there was still a lot of money left in the car that hadn't been unloaded. If the amount wasn't enough, their subsequent transactions couldn't proceed.

One of them was closest, and with the added boost from the Crimson Factor and the Fantasy Factor, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the car door at his limit. He saw Mo Mang driving the car, and Toast in the passenger seat!?

"Ouch!"

As soon as he saw the scene before him, his consciousness was already occupied by the golden figure and the fragrance. Even though Luo Shiyu had warned him beforehand, he still couldn't react.

Then a red light filled his last vision.

Pfft!

Luo Shiyu watched as his teammate's head was split open by a red light right in front of him, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere. His hands, which were clinging to the car door, naturally let go and he fell to the ground, a truly gruesome sight.

"Damn it!" Luo Shiyu cursed angrily, shouting, "Get another car! Don't chase after them!"

Only then did the others take Luo Shiyu's words to heart and go to find the other vehicles prepared at the base.

Luo Shiyu took a deep breath, and bandages appeared on his limbs, wrapping around his hands and feet. His originally thin veins throbbed, and his muscles swelled up.

A crimson battle aura slowly rose as he spread his legs, bent them, and pressed his body down...

boom!
The ground beneath his feet exploded, and his figure vanished from the spot, while the other wall of the stronghold was smashed through—the shortest distance between two points is a straight line!
Mo Mang breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed his decision was correct.

"Awoo!" Toast, like a dog, stuck his head out of the car window, mouth open, enjoying the wind.

[Hint: An enraged dragon is pursuing you, but fortunately, his target is clear and you are not involved for now.]

"Huh!?" Mo Mang exclaimed.

"Awoo!" Toast also turned around and let out a cry, and Mo Mang's eyes widened after glancing at it.

Looking in the truck's rearview mirror, they could see a lithe figure chasing them at high speed, and the distance was rapidly closing!
Given the momentum of the other side, Mo Mang was not at all surprised that they could turn the truck into a speed bump!

and……

"So you're the 'dragon seed' of this violent world?!" What kind of description is that?!
Luo Shi, squeezing out all his strength, unleashed another desperate burst of energy and plunged headfirst into the truck.

However, he immediately calmed himself down. Going up to that strange piece of toast now might not be enough to resolve the issue, and the commotion could attract the attention of the capital at any time. It was even possible that the capital's officials were already on their way to investigate.

He really wanted to kill the driver and the piece of toast, but now wasn't the time.

So, Luo Shiyu began to salvage the money that hadn't been moved from the back of the truck.

They threw out bags of money, and the other teammates following closely behind in their cars understood and focused their attention on the money as well.

Luo Shiyu swiftly emptied the remaining money from the truck. Just as he reached for the last bag, a red light flashed, and he immediately withdrew his hand to dodge the attack launched by Toast, who leaped out from the spatial shear.

"You golden maggot, I wasn't planning on looking for you for now, and you still dare to jump out!" Bloodstains appeared on Luo Shiyu's arm, and a little blood flowed out. Even though he dodged in time, he didn't completely avoid it.

That jump was performed after shearing space; no wonder we could play hide-and-seek with them in the base.

"You're not just a figment of imagination; you reek of blood, you're a serial killer... I don't care why a piece of toast like you has the power of a serial killer. Now that you've appeared, I won't hold back!"

"Awooo!" Toast was furious that Luo Shiyu called him a "maggot".

Even the wicked binary girl has never uttered such vile words!

Have you ever seen such beautiful and fragrant maggots?! You have no taste at all!
Toast suddenly flashed with blood-red starlight, about to launch an attack on Luo Shiyu.

Luo Shiyu has disappeared...

"Toast... what a brilliant disguise. An innocent appearance paired with extreme lethality—you are an exceptionally skilled assassin..."

Toast, still unable to find Luo Shiyu despite listening to the sounds, vented his anger by shredding the entire truck bed!

But... I didn't feel like I hit anything!

Toast panicked.

"It's an insult to be compared to a piece of toast, but your performance should have long since dispelled these prejudices... It's just a pity that, as a human being, I'm probably even more insignificant than a piece of toast like you..."

boom!
A punch landed squarely on Toast's body, flattening him completely. With a scream, Toast flew out and crashed into the windshield, shattering it and becoming stuck inside.

"Ouch...ow..."

A white drone suddenly appeared, and Luo Shi clicked his tongue, grabbed the last bag of money, quickly jumped out of the car, and turned to flee.

While driving, Mo Mang quickly took out the leftover flour and sprinkled it on the toast.

"Are you alright?! Don't die here! Otherwise, how can I face Mr. Zheng Fan?!"
