Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 725 Parallel Horror

Zheng Fan got off the radish, and the radish silently recovered its condition.

"Thank you for your help," Zheng said, thanking the radish.

Radish shook his head slightly. It was just a small favor; helping each other was the right thing to do. Besides, although it looked like he was struggling, Radish had never worried about the outcome.

The confidence that someone has to back you up comes from this.

Now it supports Dadu, and if its counterpart from a parallel world comes to this place, it and Labili can get support from others when they are in trouble.

Radish's thinking is so mature and steady.

After speaking with Luo Bo, Zheng Fan looked at the little lamb who was still in a daze.

He waved his hand in front of her: "Little Sheep, Little Sheep, are you still there? Did you log off?"

Doris snapped out of her reverie: "Mr. Music, I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."

“It’s normal for a normal person to have similar thoughts when they see a completely different version of themselves,” Zheng Fan comforted.

Doris smiled and said, "Right now, I just think that meeting Mr. Music is truly the greatest miracle of my life."

"Meeting you all is a miracle in my life." Zheng Fan smiled back and reached out to pat the lamb's head.

The other three members of the band rushed over after realizing that the matter was over. They relaxed when they saw Doris, whom they knew, standing there.

They tidied up, contacted the local authorities for help with the aftermath, and then quickly left the scene.

“Mr. Tickman is going to scold us again when we get back.”

"Public relations will be very busy."

Tao Zhi and Gao Song, speaking in unison, revealed the biggest problem they were currently facing.

Rumors about internal strife within the band, members fighting in the street, Mora not helping, and two male members suppressing the leader Doris are probably already flying around online.

Fortunately, Doris in the parallel universe didn't go too far, and most onlookers didn't realize they had just narrowly escaped death.

Given the Monastery Band's current popularity in the capital, even the slightest thing they do can be interpreted into a lot of articles, let alone such a big scandal this time.

Tickman called immediately, and Doris answered. At least Tickman wouldn't get angry with Doris, but it was hard to say how he would treat the others.

After Doris apologized repeatedly, Tickman lost his temper and said that he and his management team would handle it before hanging up the phone.

"Since things have come to this, let's pet the rabbit first."

"Lania feels so comfortable in my arms, let me hold her a little longer."

Gao Song wanted to take his rabbit back from Tao Zhi, but Tao Zhi had enjoyed holding it so much that he didn't want to give it back.

Radish looked at Rania and tried to reach out gently as well. Tao Zhi handed the little rabbit forward. Facing Radish, this imposing steel doll, the little rabbit still kept its big, bright eyes open, its lips and nose twitching slightly as if it were not afraid.

Radish gently rubbed his fingers a few times before withdrawing them with satisfaction.

“Beep…”

It's really cute.

Zheng Fan watched their interaction. Doris, who was standing next to him, glanced at him, then suddenly bent down deeply, placed her head under Zheng Fan's hand, and then straightened up, jumping directly into Zheng Fan's arms and rubbing against him sweetly.

This time, it was Mora who dutifully sent their side of the story to their group chat.

She then looked up and said, "The next page of the resume is blank, but there's no indication of anything yet."

"Parallel worlds are really scary," Tao Zhi exclaimed upon hearing this.

Seeing someone you knew so well suddenly appear with a stranger's demeanor and memories, even coming with immense malice, Tao Zhi felt that he wouldn't forget that feeling anytime soon.

But it had to be Doris.

Doris often runs around the house late at night, supposedly to find inspiration. While it doesn't bother anyone, Tao Zhi, with his keen senses, is occasionally startled. After all, she really does resemble a female ghost.

Now that's great, with the perfect horror template brought by Doris from another world, he's probably going to be even more terrified.

As the saying goes, some excellent horror movie actors are often quite high-quality, especially girls like Doris who are already so beautiful they seem inhuman, making them very suitable for some horror concepts. "Why are you looking at Doris like she's a ghost?" Mora suddenly said, startling Tao Zhi.

"He probably really thinks Doris is a ghost. I think that parallel world Doris is no different from a ghost." Gao Song's tone was casual, but he was also using casualness to hide the unease he felt earlier after being frightened by the parallel world Doris.

Mora cannot deny this.

The closer you are to someone, the more you feel the difference when they become strangers.

"That's all in the past." Seeing this, Doris, though still trying to flatter Zheng Fan, also said to her friends, "We're walking together like this now. This is our reality and our world, not that of that doll."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Gao Song suddenly clapped his hands, breaking the silence. He said to Luo Bo, "Mr. Luo Bo! Please take us fishing! I beg you!"

"Huh?" Mora's expression fell.

“It’s not appropriate for us to run around and cause Mr. Tickman any more trouble, so let’s find a quiet place to sit down and do something,” Gao Song said nonchalantly.

I must say, this is indeed a good idea.

Radish is also happy to take others fishing.

So, in a quiet corner of Andrei Bay on Tarkovsky Street, five figures lined up and began fishing on the shore.

A sea breeze blows, and seagulls cry out from time to time. The sea ripples gently under the afternoon sun, creating a peaceful and serene scene.

Tarkovsky Street is a really nice place. It doesn't have the restlessness of most other gray neighborhoods or even white urban areas. Apart from being particularly cold in winter, it has basically no downsides, at least not the area next to Andrei Bay.

……

On Xixi Keke Street, Shang Xia walked out of a row of residential buildings under the midday summer sun.

She is continuing her commissioned work.

"The victim killed in the protest was young and had not yet graduated from university. He was attracted by a friend to join an underground society, which should be a gang. The source of the fantasy ring that enhances power should be from there. However, according to the description provided by the family, although the victim was uneducated, he was cowardly and only followed his cronies. He did not have any demands for the protest and did not seem like someone who would participate in the protest."

Shang Xia reviewed the intelligence he had just received.

Now that this information has been submitted directly to the processing bureau as the result of this open-ended investigation, it should be able to secure a reward that is above average.

These kinds of requests often only provide the authorities and police with a clue and direction, allowing them to extricate themselves from the situation and avoid getting too deeply involved.

But Shangxia still felt it wasn't quite enough.

After all, it was my first time doing something independently, so I wanted to do it as well as possible.

She also came to understand the "curiosity" that Lin Yilin often talked about when teaching her. Although Lin Yilin mostly used some of her own ideas as negative examples, Shang Xia really wanted to know the whole story.

"It's still early, let's continue the investigation," Shang Xia said, looking up at the blazing sun overhead.

……

Lumière Street.

As a street once heavily influenced by the Pure White Society, Lumière Street has seen one of the highest rates of protests and disturbances in the region over the past few months. In particular, the influx of refugees fleeing the central district has severely deteriorated the security situation on Lumière Street.

This gave Lu Chongming a real headache. He couldn't find peace anywhere. He had originally planned to bring his parents over for a better living environment after taking office, but now it seemed better for them to stay in Xixi Keke's place.

Having just finished dealing with one incident, Lu Chongming returned to the branch office and immediately prepared to leave for the next one.

I walked briskly through the corridor and happened to pass a quiet, deserted section of the road.

rustling...

The insect crawled quickly past, and the sound of its legs rubbing together suddenly rang in my ears.

Lu Chongming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Lu…Lu…”

As the familiar overlapping voice reached his ears, Lu Chongming's eyes became serious and sharp.
