Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 719 "The Mahjong Girl"

The title "Mahjong Princess" is one that almost no one would recognize in this context.

After all, it was an illusion from many years ago. Although it brought an unpleasant history to the Xixi Keke neighborhood, most people tend to forget it. A little sparrow, while troublesome, is not something to be feared or forgotten forever.

"So you're just hallucinating that you've dealt with the Bureau of Handling Affairs." Shang Xia didn't know much about this either, and could only make this judgment based on the other party's tone.

"We didn't just have dealings with them, I killed them all a long time ago." Que Ji grinned.

Shang Xia tilted his head: "Huh?"

Sparrow Princess smoothed her long black hair: "Fine, you wouldn't understand anyway, I'll do it again."

After saying that, she waved her long sleeves, and feathers fell off her body and scattered in all directions. Shang Xia then threw the axe in her hand. The axe spun around much faster than the feathers, circling around Que Ji and knocking down the feathers she had scattered halfway.

We've already witnessed the destructive power of the opponent's feathers; who knows what will happen to the surrounding area if this wave of feathers is scattered like this.

But before he could retract the axe, Que Ji suddenly lunged at Shang Xia, her long legs sweeping like whips. Shang Xia quickly raised his hands to block.

Bang!
With a muffled thud, Shang Xia was kicked and staggered.

The Sparrow Princess was incredibly fast. Her feathers fell off again, flying around her as if they were her own arms, and then slashing towards Shang Xia.

Just then, a dark, cold light slashed down. Que Ji's expression changed, and she quickly interrupted her attack that was originally aimed at Shang Xia. She changed her move and jumped to the side to dodge at the limit. Even so, one of her arms was easily cut off by the axe.

Sparrow Princess lightly leaped onto a nearby building, clutching her severed arm from which black particles were dissipating, and looked warily at the person who had just attacked her.

Zheng Fan took Shang Xia's axe and went to Shang Xia, returning the weapon to Shang Xia.

Shang Xia said softly, "Thank you."

Zheng Fan nodded, then turned to look at Que Ji: "Where are you from?"

Mahjong Princess raised her beautiful eyebrows: "I came from here."

“I have no interest in playing word games with you. The feeling you give off is very familiar to me, but you are definitely not that little guy.” Zheng Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Chirp!" A chubby little bird suddenly landed on Zheng Fan's shoulder from the sky—it was the Sparrow Leader.

It glared at Que Ji, cursing and swearing at her, then rubbed against Zheng Fan's face, as if trying to explain something to him.

The gist is that this slut who looks so much like it is definitely not it!
Not long after the white barrier completely failed, the Sparrow Leader gradually remembered some things, but although its cognitive and hallucinatory powers recovered to some extent, its condition had deteriorated considerably.

Normally, it would be impossible for it to reappear in the same human form as before.

Because it had already been opened and lost its identity, this is the fate of a mature anthropomorphic illusion that is too rampant and unrestrained.

In any case, this "other Mahjong Queen" is an illusion that is impossible to exist in the present day.

The Sparrow Leader is right here, and nothing has done anything strange to her. The anthropomorphic hallucination theory cannot produce high-level pattern symbols during the synchronous stage. All these suspicious points indicate that this Sparrow Queen is very abnormal.

"Oh?" The Sparrow Princess looked at the indignant little sparrow and gave a meaningful look.

Seeing that disdainful and sarcastic look, the leader of the sparrows was about to explode with anger.

Zheng Fan gently comforted the Sparrow Leader and said to Sparrow Princess, "Imitator? Mirror image? Or some kind of dark world's backup for you? None of them seem like it. Judging from your performance alone, you are even better than your normal peak condition."

The Sparrow Princess's severed arm and clothes grew back together, preventing any accidental exposure. "Of course, I'm not comparable to that piece of trash over there," she said in a somewhat sinister tone. As soon as she finished speaking, a large number of feathers flew out from her body, like a volley of arrows, enveloping Zheng Fan and Shang Xia.

These feathers with unusual trajectories instantly occupied the entire block. In response, Zheng Fan gently raised his hand, and the surrounding feathers immediately seemed to be held down by an invisible hand, suspending themselves in mid-air.

With a flick of Zheng's wrist, all the feathers flew back in reverse.

Que Ji took off and soared into the sky, but before she had gone far, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Shang Xia had caught up with her without her noticing.

As the axe fell down, Sparrow Princess crossed her arms to block it. The hard feathers and the axe collided violently, producing a lot of sparks. However, as the one who launched the attack, almost nothing in the multiple worlds could stop Shang Xia's axe.

The feathers that the Sparrow Princess used to defend herself were soon about to give way, and just before her arms were about to be chopped off by the axe, she suddenly wrapped herself in the feathers.

Bang!
Shang Xia's axe missed its mark, only managing to cut open a clump of feathers.

"Huh?" Shang Xia was taken aback. As she fell from the sky, she saw a little sparrow flapping its wings and flying away into the distance. But Shang Xia couldn't fly, so she could only watch helplessly.

After her feet touched the ground, she turned her head and saw Zheng Fan: "Brother Fan, I let her get away." Her tone was filled with disappointment, indicating that she was prepared to be scolded.

However, Zheng Fan simply patted her head and said, "It's alright."

Shang Xia looked at Zheng Fan.

"Anyway, I wasn't counting on you."

Shang Xia's face immediately puffed up.

You might as well just yell at her!

However, Zheng Fan didn't really have high hopes for Shangxia. Apart from its numerical values, Shangxia's mechanics were very simple, and its only offensive method was an axe that could kill anyone.

When you encounter an opponent who is versatile and good at moving and escaping, it's normal to be completely caught off guard.

“I’ve already sent people after it.” Zheng Fan looked at the distant sky. “Let’s contact Binary Girl. The appearance of this big sparrow might be related to the previous underworld’s little tricks.”

They contacted Lin Yilin, but she wasn't surprised to hear about the appearance of "another Mahjong Queen." She was just about to call Zheng Fan and Shang Xia when she realized that they were the ones who had encountered it first.

"What's going on?" Zheng asked in return when he heard Lin Yilin directly describe the characteristics of another Mahjong player.

"It's a resume. The resume we have here is 'Mahjong Girl'."

Lin Yilin looked at the electronic resume displayed on her phone. It was gradually showing more information, including her name and ID photo.

[Code name: "Mahjong Queen"]

[Identity: Illusion]

[Gender: I identify as female.]

[Origin: Jiyun District.]

[Experience: A humanoid illusion primarily composed of sparrows, reborn from Jiyun City. Although once defeated by a scheme and losing itself in the escape, one day, as the white barrier temporarily failed, it did not continue to wallow in the illusion of small animals, but instead quickly regained its sense of self. It pieced together numerous illusions to create a phantom world, reconstructed its body, and made a comeback. The Metropolitan Administration launched a campaign to subdue it, but suffered total annihilation…]
