Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 55 Lord Demon King
At least Teng Jun did not deny his debt because of this horrific experience.

He paid the money quite readily, perhaps because he was "intimidated" by Lin Yilin.

As dusk approached, Lin Yilin and Zheng Fan set out on their way back.

"This is how the commission is concluded." As Zheng Fan said this, he was paying attention to an exhausted office worker who was off work, because he noticed that the man's zipper might not be zipped up.

Of course the other party wouldn't notice even if I reminded him.

Lin Yilin walked and passed Xiding Road directly: "The commission is over, but some things are not over yet."

"Hmm? Although the illusion ran away, it should be beyond the scope of your work. You are not the kind of person who would add burden to yourself." Zheng Fan was puzzled.

"It's like this, the rest of the things are not within my scope, but there's still some time before the end of the shift, so I'll do something and leave it to others."

The last place Lin Yilin came to was the police station on Xixikeke Street.

……

On a humid night, a thin mist rose and lingered in the streets and alleys of Xixikoko.

Jiang Si was drinking a bottle of strawberry yogurt, wearing a silver sports jacket and loose black shorts, looking sporty and casual.

After walking on the deserted path for a while, a staggering figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

Jiang Si slowed down his pace slightly and slowly approached the zombie-like figure.

Surrounded by fog, when Jiang Si faced the other person directly under the dim light of the street lamp...

Only to find out that the other person was just a drunkard.

"Tsk." With a bored sigh, Jiang Si passed by the other person.

She was about to move forward when her shoulder was suddenly tapped.

Jiang Si quickly turned around and pulled out the red line, but the next moment his hands were tied together by several red lines.

"Hey, good evening." Zheng Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to greet him.

Jiang Si narrowed her eyes when she was entangled by the red thread: "This kind of prank is not funny at all."

"I just think it's interesting. You're really not very courageous, and you happen to be a night owl." Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and loosened the rope that bound her hands.

"It might be a little scarier for me during the day, and who says that night is scary? Night is so much better." Jiang Si moved his wrist unhappily.

"The murderer's words are surprisingly convincing, so have you found your target?" Zheng asked back.

Jiang Si shook his head: "I'm not the kind of killer who is good at tracking."

"Then you really have to breathe a sigh of relief for your prey."

"But I'm good at stealth."

"Then let's breathe it back in. I think this is more frightening and has the potential to be made into a movie."

"So Mr. Devil came to me tonight just for ridicule and gags?"

"Isn't it possible?"

"It's fine at ordinary times, but I'm in a hurry to find a target now so I can only give you a perfunctory response. Is that okay?" Jiang Si said seriously.

"That depends on how you respond. For example, I have some clues about the murderer you're looking for, so would you mind accompanying me?" Zheng Fan gave a wicked smile.

Jiang Si immediately reached out and unzipped his jacket, revealing a bold red swimsuit. "...What are you wearing?"

"I can wear whatever I like, just tell me whether this 'perfunctory' attitude is good enough or not?" Jiang Si playfully threw a charmless wink.

"Boring, I still prefer the way you look in black lace underwear."

"Nothing like a swimsuit?!"

"Although swimsuits and underwear cover almost the same area, there is an unbridgeable gap between the two." Zheng Fan looked towards the foggy sky with deep eyes.

Jiang Si zipped up his pants speechlessly: "What a lot of shit."

Zheng Fan returned to the topic: "Forget it, just follow me."

Walking on the road with Jiang Si, Jiang Si asked curiously: "Why does Mr. Devil suddenly have information about Filch?"

"Miss Witch is so kind and gave you this reward." Zheng Fan replied.

"Wow, I sneaked into her territory and she didn't take revenge on me but rewarded me?" Jiang Si covered his mouth with his hands in surprise, although it was a little exaggerated and looked shy.

"You dare to come here knowing that you might be retaliated against."

"That's you, Mr. Devil."

"A clever trick. Anyway, we used some connections to confirm Filch's current situation, and then went to the police to check the recent criminal records that might have been caused by him. Finally, we combined the existing intelligence network to figure out his possible range of activities in the near future. We just need to search in this area." Zheng Fan explained vaguely.

First, they relied on their younger brother in the Banmu Office to find Qingye Heji and inquire about the situation of the bald weirdo. The bald weirdo found a studio in the Banmu Office to cooperate with them and help search for the distribution of shoes scattered in Xixi Koko.

In this collaboration, it was confirmed that the other party's identity was indeed Filch.

This was in line with Lin Yilin's previous expectations. As for why Filch's red hair turned into a bald man, including certain changes in his appearance, she had guessed it early on: it was obviously because he was chosen by the illusion as an excellent body.

This guess was further confirmed after the meeting with Lu Chongming. The illusion could abandon Lu Chongming so decisively, not only because it was dissatisfied with Lu Chongming, but also because it had found a better buyer.

Otherwise, purely heroic measures would not do any good to the illusion, and he should choose to forcibly capture Lu Chongming before escaping.

If there is no next customer, and bad luck keeps preventing you from interacting with reality, the growth of the illusion will regress until it disappears.

Filch's dramatic change in appearance is most likely due to hallucinations, which makes sense since he is the most active individual after the hallucinations were set off.

After confirming his identity, he went directly to the police station to check recent criminal incidents based on his behavioral characteristics.

Robbery of mysterious shoes, cutting off legs and killing people are also particularly prominent characteristics of this case. Most police officers in the gray districts do not handle cases, but they are absolutely reliable in the intelligence business. After all, many police officers have to make extra money by providing intelligence to the agency.

Finally, by comparing the information given to Filch by the class with the criminal records at the police station, we can find out which places he has not visited.

Lin Yilin directly provided the above information to the police, and the police will probably report it to the handling bureau, and the handling bureau will send people to take action as early as tonight. After all, the killer is very precious, and it is valuable whether he is killed or captured alive.

And Zheng Fan came to find Jiang Si, who was also keeping an eye on Filch, after Miss Lin Yilin got off work.

However, Zheng objected that Jiang Si's explanation was so confusing that Jiang Si couldn't understand it. In the end, he could only say, "Anyway, it's right to know his approximate location, right? Thank you, Mr. Devil, you are worthy of being the devil among devils!"

"Call me Lord Demon!" Zheng raised his head and said in a childish manner.

"Okay, okay, Lord Demon King~." Jiang Si replied with a smile.
