Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 720 Birds Fighting
"What does this mean?" Shang Xia asked, somewhat bewildered, as Lin Yilin read out the contents of the resume.

Several possibilities flashed through Zheng Fan's mind in an instant, and then a somewhat absurd idea popped into his head.

“Mr. Illusion must have some guesses by now.” Lin Yilin didn’t answer Shang Xia’s question immediately, but instead asked Zheng Fan as if they were on the same wavelength.

"The 'life' trajectory is clearly different from the little sparrow we know, so the little sparrow is definitely not from the illusion world. Moreover, the probability of a degenerated anthropomorphic illusion that has lost its self and wants to piece together other illusions to form an illusion world without the help of external forces is extremely small," Zheng Fan said.

Lin Yilin: "But it's not impossible."

“That resume describes just such a possibility,” Zheng Fan said.

"If our guess is correct, could this resume possibly turn a low-probability possibility into reality? Is that even possible?" Lin Yilin's voice was somewhat somber.

Right now, she's just a mahjong player. How many other possibilities, and some extremely bad ones at that, could come true?

This is the work of the underworld. They abandoned a direct assault because they had no chance against Zheng Fan; their choice was to crush Dadu itself with the resources of Dadu.

"I need to confirm with Teacher Niu and the others. Mr. Illusion, please take down that Mahjong Girl and gather as much information as possible," Lin Yilin said.

Zheng ended the call after reacting.

Shang Xia blinked: "Shall we go after them?"

"I'll go, you continue with your commission," Zheng Fan said casually.

“But this side is clearly more important now.” Shang Xia tugged at Zheng Fan’s sleeve.

"This place is more important to us, but your own life is more important to you. If you can't enjoy the life you love, then I'll feel like I've failed as the one who brought you back." Zheng turned to Shang Xia and said seriously, "I'll come find you once things are settled here. Relax. Binary Girl is very strict; do you want to be an intern forever?"

What was originally just a simple matter of "the child running errands alone" was something Shang Xia wanted to try, and it couldn't be delayed by other messy things.

Shang Xia stared at Zheng Fan for a moment, then smiled sweetly and approached him.

Zheng Fan did not move; the intimate contact lasted only a brief moment.

"I understand." Shang Xia stepped back and said cheerfully, "Then let's cheer each other on!"

……

Que Ji flew swiftly in the sky, checked back, and found that neither Shang Xia nor Zheng Fan had caught up, so she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Where did these experts from, Xixi Keke and Jiyun City, come from?
She hadn't encountered much resistance when she had slaughtered people in those two places, but suddenly two extraordinary characters appeared in this place.

Let's lay low for a while and wait until things get chaotic before we can take advantage of the situation.

Just as she was thinking this, the unusual flow of air made her quickly realize something was wrong. She quickly looked towards the source of the disturbance and saw another sparrow, which was also another version of herself!
When did it catch up? When I first saw myself in this place, it was clear that although I had regained some of my memories, my power had severely deteriorated and was completely beyond recovery.

How did it catch up in this state? And when it caught up, even Mahjong Princess didn't notice!
A thought flashed through Que Ji's mind: "Are you flying at the same spatial frequency as me!?"

Although she guessed it immediately, the Sparrow leader had already sped up and rushed up, crashing into her and causing her to tumble through the air.

Mahjong Princess flung the leader of the mahjong parlor aside: "How dare a piece of trash like you challenge me!"

She was about to revert to human form and crush the dead sparrow.

She showed no mercy even to her own alter ego; this was the true Sparrow Queen, whose already tyrannical nature became utterly unrestrained after her successful revenge.

Such a huge change may have occurred under the influence of someone unknown.

The sparrow leader is still acting as both a leader of the small animals and a love-struck fool, while another possible version of her has gone on a killing spree, literally.

But after Mahjong Princess exerted her strength for a while, nothing happened, and she almost pooped out bird droppings.

What's going on?! Why can't she suddenly use her full strength and turn back into human form?!

Is it the White Restriction? But wasn't she just in Jiyun City? Didn't I hear that the White Restriction in this timeline had disappeared?!
"Chirp chirp!" The sparrow leader let out a cold laugh.

The White Barrier has indeed disappeared, but the construction of the new defense facility being built by the Pure White Society and the Lighthouse still requires some White Barrier technology.

This airspace happens to be the hypothetical location of the defense agency node where the Jiyun City is situated.

Construction was still underway, a white barrier was in effect, and there were even several people holding lanterns nearby.

The Sparrow Leader naturally knew all this; the Small Animal Alliance in Jiyun City was her informant, helping her to understand various information about Jiyun City and even the surrounding areas.

He was also a master of intelligence.

Zheng Fan instructed it to follow the Sparrow Princess and find an opportunity to beat her up. The Sparrow Leader then followed, waiting for the right moment to strike, and before she could react, he took the Sparrow Princess into the forbidden area.

Now we can have a fair competition.

The Sparrow Leader felt no pity or affection for its alter ego. Because! It couldn't accept something that looked exactly like itself appearing before Zheng Fan!
Since the white barrier disappeared and the sparrow leader regained its memories, it had restrained its emotions and refrained from seeking out Zheng Fan. It knew that even a bird's body has its limits.

It needs to hold back a lot of energy, to accumulate strength, not to return to its previous form, but at least to restore its entire human body.

Then go see Zheng Fan and give him a surprise.

Who knew that another imposter would come out wearing its long-unused "suit" and tarnish its image as a fine little bird in front of Zheng Fan!

How could this other version of myself be so wicked!

The sparrow leader was extremely unhappy; it wanted to kill its own counterpart and use its head as a snack!
"A piece of trash who still thinks he's a bird! Shut up!" Sparrow Princess's veins bulged as she was subjected to a barrage of incoherent insults.

The two sparrows charged at each other with great enthusiasm, wrestling and fighting fiercely, and a massive bloody battle began.

……

Mo Mang had some free time today, so he made a special trip to one of his favorite coffee shops in Jiyun District for a cup of coffee. Thankfully, the owner hadn't closed the shop because of the recent troubles; that was great.

For ordinary people, a seemingly insignificant yet somewhat heartbreaking tragedy is wanting to treat themselves to a nice meal and drinks at their favorite restaurant after finishing work, only to find that the restaurant is already closed.

And you might be so busy that you don't even know when your favorite shop closes.

Mo Mang walked back with a sense of感慨 in his heart.

Suddenly, he saw two little birds chasing each other in the sky. They landed with a thud on a big tree that he was passing by, flitting among the treetops and making the trees rustle.

Mo Mang drank a cup of coffee and exhaled a breath of stale air.

"Even the birds in Jiyun District are so restless these days."

Then he looked away and continued walking.

……

The Sparrow Princess is engaged in a fierce battle with the Sparrow Leader, the fight is intense and the scene is grand and extremely exciting.
