Zheng Fan, like a kind mother, threaded a needle and mended the quilt, then shook it out.
"Awoo?" Toast and Lu Lu Shoes watched this scene with concern; it had only been a brief moment of fighting side-by-side, but the quilt's self-sacrifice at that moment had undoubtedly proven itself.
They were already brothers and sisters!
"I've mostly stuffed the cotton back in, and I even used a few singularities, so it should be fine now," Zheng Fan reassured them.
As Zheng Fan was smoothing out the quilt, it suddenly moved.
"Awoo!" Toast cried out in surprise.
The quilt groggily regained consciousness and saw Toast and Lu Lu Shoes.
They were still alive?
The three embraced warmly, conveying their mutual joy, though these three items celebrating together looked quite strange.
Lin Yilin silently took a photo nearby to record the moment.
It was a happy thing that Toast and Lu Lu Shoes could make friends on their own; otherwise, she would always worry that they only played by themselves, with Zheng Fan occasionally joining in, which might be a bit monotonous.
As for the future of the office having an extra quilt...
Please, they already had a Toast, so a quilt seemed perfectly normal, right?
"Ah, we meet again, Miss Lin." At this moment, Lu Chongming, who was nearby, also woke up. He noticed that his injuries had been simply treated and thanked Lin Yilin upon seeing her.
"Why is it him again?" Zheng Fan, after letting Toast and the others play, walked over and saw Lu Chongming, saying in surprise.
Lin Yilin observed Lu Chongming: "How have you been since last time?"
"Not good at all, it's been terrible," Lu Chongming sighed, sitting on the ground.
"I see. Well, I wish you good luck in the future." With that, Lin Yilin turned and left, showing no intention of further conversation.
"Huh?" Lu Chongming was stunned for a moment, watching Lin Yilin's decisive back and the three strange items following her. In the end, he still collected himself.
Suddenly, he looked down at his feet, where a pair of sneakers was still sitting.
It was Lu Lu Shoes that had left them for him.
He picked up the shoes, somewhat lost in thought.
Finally, he sighed and put on the shoes: "Time to find a new job..."
Suddenly, he remembered something and quickly turned his head, realizing that the bodies of those people on the ground were still there!
He looked again at Lin Yilin's retreating figure, but she had already turned a corner and was out of sight. She seemed to have no intention of interfering with the situation here.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chongming still took out his old, cracked mobile phone.
Anyway, he would try making a call first. If it didn't work, it didn't matter, but if he could really report it successfully and get some bonus, then his madness today wouldn't have been in vain.
...
Back at the office, Lin Yilin flung the quilt, which she had been using as a package, forward, tossing out Toast and Lu Lu Shoes from inside.
Toast performed a perfect spin in the air and landed on the coffee table: "Awoo!"
"Did you absorb the blood drop I gave you?" Zheng Fan asked, coming up to it.
"Awoo?" Toast indicated it didn't know.
"Huh? You don't think you could suddenly unleash an ability that didn't exist before and defeat that enemy purely with your own power, do you?" Zheng Fan reached out and poked Toast.
Toast retaliated by biting a few times, but it couldn't bite Zheng Fan, who was prepared.
"Awoo~." Toast thought for a moment and indicated that when it saw the quilt "sacrifice" itself, it indeed entered an extremely enraged state, even feeling like it was about to turn into toasted bread.
Then, it instinctively unleashed its full power, and the small cleaver appeared in its mouth.
"As expected, it's a part of the Killing demon's power. Can you still use it now?" Zheng Fan asked, gently stroking his chin.
"Awoo!"
Toast let out a joyful cry, then opened its mouth, its rear end raised high, wiggling its bottom and that small tail at high frequency.
It looked exactly like it was building up energy to take a big dump, and there were unclear grunts and gasps coming from its mouth, truly looking more and more like it.
If it were to defecate here, Lin Yilin would definitely go crazy.
Fortunately, Toast only looked like it; in the end, it was indeed a build-up of power that once again condensed a blood-red small cleaver in its mouth.
Zheng Fan's eyes lit up, and he beckoned with his hand.
Toast understood and pounced without mercy. Its body, which had no neck, displayed astonishing flexibility, wiggling agilely, and the bloody light fell head-on.
Clang!
Then it was flicked away by Zheng Fan's fingernail, the small cleaver fell from its mouth, and Toast's limbs flapped twice in mid-air before it fell clumsily onto the sofa: "Awoo~."
As the small cleaver fell, Zheng Fan caught it between two fingers and lightly weighed it.
It was very light and didn't seem to have much lethality, but...
Zheng Fan pulled with an empty hand, and a red thread pulled Cheng Fei's body over, then he chopped down on Cheng Fei's body with the cleaver.
The sensation of cutting into flesh surprised Zheng Fan; it was like cutting butter, feeling just the right amount of resistance, with no serious obstruction otherwise.
Finally, it smoothly cut through Cheng Fei's body. If the small cleaver hadn't been too short, it could have easily cut Cheng Fei in half at the waist.
Zheng Fan did not add any power during this process; he merely used the small cleaver condensed by Toast and tried it with human-level strength.
The effect was extraordinary.
It seemed to have inherited not only the ability to shape such an object but also the Killing demon's killer traits against humans?
Zheng Fan didn't play with it for long before the small cleaver dissipated.
Under Lin Yilin's gaze, he wiped the blood spilled during the experiment on Cheng Fei clean with Toast, then carried Cheng Fei's body and took the Three Little Ones back to the laboratory.
"Very good, you are now a qualified Bloodthirsty Toast," Zheng Fan congratulated Toast after repairing Cheng Fei's body.
"Awoo~." Toast was very happy.
But just like that, it seemed a bit unable to sustain itself; condensing this small cleaver was not an easy task for it.
After the small cleaver dissipated, Toast would feel immense fatigue and really wanted to shrink back into normal Toast mode and hibernate.
"Never mind, you've worked hard today, get some good rest," Zheng Fan said with a smile upon seeing its condition, picking Toast up from the ground.
With Zheng Fan's permission, Toast didn't hesitate to fall asleep.
Putting Toast aside, Zheng Fan looked at Lu Lu Shoes: "Although your combat power isn't great, it seems you also tried hard."
Lu Lu Shoes stood at attention, posing properly in front of Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan also gently patted it: "Well done."
Lu Lu Shoes was very excited.
This counted as receiving Fan Laoda's approval!
Finally, Zheng Fan looked at the quilt in front of him.
The quilt stood like a person, appearing very tall, but in front of Zheng Fan, it involuntarily shrunk itself, bundling into a ball.
The first time it saw Zheng Fan, it was actually because it felt that such a terrifying thing had come home, feeling that disaster was imminent, so it had tried to escape from the little bear pattern duvet cover by playing a trick of 'golden cicada shedding its skin'.
It didn't expect to fail completely.
At that time, it hadn't even had time to celebrate that Zheng Fan didn't seem to intend to harm it, before it ran into Toast and Lu Lu Shoes right after.
Now, it had also gained some understanding of this terrifying Illusion, who was also their leader, from Toast and Lu Lu Shoes.
But it was still very scared.
Because Toast and Lu Lu Shoes' evaluation of Zheng Fan was quite terrible!
Aside from being good to them, he had no other virtues; his personality was full of flaws!
Zheng Fan observed the trembling quilt: "Although Toast and Lu Lu Shoes recognize you, I won't have any objections, but you are not a Phantasm created by me, and you're still a perverted quilt that gropes high school girls, so I won't recognize you that easily."
Lu Lu Shoes had question marks popping up beside it: Because it had heard from Toast that Fan Laoda was a super perverted bad guy who had probably done everything else besides groping girls?
However, its emotional intelligence was very high, so it wouldn't speak out, or it would be punished.
The quilt was also prepared; it would be very difficult to integrate into a newly joined family, but it would make the boss recognize it!
After the intimidating speech was over, Zheng Fan also put away his difficult expression, reached out, grabbed a corner of the quilt, and shook it again: "As a Phantasm, you wouldn't just have the ability to move, would you? You should have a proper ability. Do you have any idea what it is?"
The quilt was about to speak.
"But after all, it's a quilt, I don't even need to spend money to buy one, although I don't sleep now..." Saying that, Zheng Fan covered himself with the quilt.
Immediately after, he felt a strong drowsiness welling up, and he instantly lay down on the ground.
Infant-like quality sleep.
Lu Lu Shoes watched from the side, not quite understanding.
But in any case, it seemed that Fan Laoda had recognized the quilt.
