There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

"So, how do I use it?"

Lu Qing went to the mirror and gently tapped the surface of the mirror with her finger.

Suddenly, the surface of the mirror seemed to flow like water, with ripples spreading from the spot where Lu Qing tapped her finger. When the mirror returned to calm, Lu Qing was surprised to find that her appearance in the mirror had changed.

She saw in the mirror that half of her hair had turned jet black, while her left eye had turned scarlet.

However, what Lu Qing cared about most was a jet-black bird mark on her arm, which made her recall the crow in the pupil of the bird she had noticed three years ago in the Misty Town.

Lu Qing quickly raised her left arm and looked at the location of the mark, but she couldn't see anything from a perspective that wasn't reflected in the mirror.

Just then, the abnormality in Lu Qing's body in the mirror suddenly stopped, as if it had been suppressed by something.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. She looked at herself in the mirror and found that whenever she recalled her original appearance, the abnormality in her reflection would be suppressed and even slowly dissipate.

"The real self..."

Lu Qing recalled the description of the mirror on the cottage and suddenly felt a little confused.

She doesn't know what her real self is like, or if she is the self from her past life in her memories.

However, she had long forgotten what she looked like in her past life and couldn't recall it at all.

But if it's not my appearance from my past life, could it be my current self?

This body doesn't belong to her, even though the previous owner of this body is actually dead.

"wrong!"

Lu Qing suddenly woke up, and under the light of the kerosene lamp, she said firmly:

"You can't influence me. I am who I am, and it has nothing to do with my body or my memories. All I need to know is that I am alive, and that I am the one who is alive. That's enough!"

In the mirror, the strange changes in her body quickly dissipated. After a moment, the bird pattern on Lu Qing's arm struggled for a final time before turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the air.

The image in the mirror blurred for a moment, then returned to its initial calm, and a line of text slowly appeared.

[Current Player Status: Good]

Chapter 46: Is she really going to kill me?

"Phew, it's finally over."

Seeing the words displayed on the mirror, Lu Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't expect that just glancing at the mirror would reveal such a terrifying thing.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Could it be that Fang Qingrou's lack of contact with her for so long was also influenced by this?

Moreover, thinking about the black bird pattern on her arm, Lu Qing couldn't help but think of the crow she had seen in a video three years ago.

Is there any connection between the two?

It's hard for her not to think that way.

Suddenly, the entire hut began to shake violently!

"what happened?"

Quickly regaining her footing, Lu Qing looked around and found that the sliding window on the wall of the small house had closed automatically.

The hut was shaking violently, as if it had been struck by something.

Lu Qing hurried to the notice board and found that the information on the notice board was being updated very quickly.

[Suffered from mental pollution, attack level 29, cabin defense 50, opponent has no special attack detection, no special skills, defense check in progress...]

[Defense successful! The mental contamination from the unknown target has been successfully resisted!]

[Intruder detected, targeting being established!]

[Target lock failed, the target is escaping...]

The cabin has been retargeted!

[Target locked, initiating target detection and assessment...]

【The judgment is successful! 】

[Unknown life form captured!]

The tremors outside the cabin quickly subsided. Lu Qing looked at the notice board in front of her with suspicion and analyzed the current situation.

Judging from the information on the notice board, it seems that some unknown entity attacked the hut, but due to insufficient attack power, it was unable to break through the hut's defenses and was instead locked onto and captured by the hut...

"What about the captured target?"

Looking up at the interior of the cabin, I saw no new items or any special life forms.

However, just as Lu Qing was thinking this, a hoarse, sharp voice entered her ears.

"Damn bastard, let me go! Do you know what a noble being you are facing!"

This was a special language, not one of any languages ​​Lu Qing knew in her memory, but for some reason, when she heard the other person speak, Lu Qing automatically understood the meaning in their words.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Lu Qing realized that it seemed to be coming from outside the window.

She slowly walked towards the window, and as she moved, the shrill, unpleasant voice continued:

"Isn't there anyone here? You incompetent coward who dares not show his face, do you even deserve to lock me up here?"

"I'm very busy. I advise you to release me quickly, otherwise you'll delay my important business, and I won't let you off the hook!"

“This guy…” Lu Qing’s lips twitched twice, speechless to herself, “He’s still so arrogant even after being arrested.”

Pushing open the window, Lu Qing was greeted by a dark gold birdcage that had appeared out of nowhere.

Inside the birdcage, a jet-black bird stood, its scarlet eyes fixed on Lu Qing the moment the window was pushed open.

"Are you the owner of this place? You don't seem very powerful."

The jet-black bird stood in the cage, one wing slightly obscuring its body, giving it an inexplicably noble air. However, this noble air about a bird confined in a cage made Lu Qing want to laugh.

However, the thought that it might have been this very bird that attacked her hut made Lu Qing's smile naturally fade away.

"Why don't you answer me? Can't you speak?" Blackbird continued.

"That stinky bird..."

The other person's condescending tone made Lu Qing feel uneasy. But thinking that the other person was locked up in the hut, Lu Qing became bolder.

She pretended to have just noticed the other person, gently resting her chin on one hand and looking down at them, saying:

"Oh my, I thought it was someone making a racket, but it turns out to be a little crow in a cage."

"How dare you call me a crow? What blasphemy!"

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, the jet-black bird seemed to bristle with anger. It glared at Lu Qing and said in a hoarse voice:

"I am the great god of misfortune and doom, foolish mortal! If you dare to offend me again, I will grind you to dust and let your soul suffer eternal pain and torment!"

"Hmph, even though you can talk, don't think I'm so easy to fool."

Lu Qing smiled disdainfully. Although she didn't know who the other party was, her house had just been upgraded, and it was upgraded using extremely weak evil spirit powder and flesh crystals.

She didn't believe that a small house with only 50 points of defense could really deal with the legendary gods. Besides, Lu Qing couldn't even be sure if gods existed in this world.

However, at that moment, the quill pen on the table suddenly floated up and came above the notebook.

The notebook was already open, and I arrived at the page specifically for recording various prompts.

A mysterious, unknown visitor attacked you and your cabin. He has now paid the price for his recklessness. From his words, you learn that he seems to be a legendary deity. You can sense that this mysterious visitor isn't lying, but there seems to be something hidden within his words.

"Is what this bird said true?" Lu Qing was a little surprised, and her expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.

Fortunately, the bird, whose eyes were already drawn to the automatically flipping pages on the table, looked up at Lu Qing and asked:

"Is this some kind of special prop? What did you write on it?"

"He can't see the words on it." Lu Qing learned some good news from the other party.

Thinking of what was written in the notebook and with the quill pen, she decided to test the other person.

“You don’t need to know what’s written on it, since you’re going to die soon anyway,” Lu Qing said coldly.

"You want to kill me?" Blackbird seemed flustered upon hearing Lu Qing's words, but he still maintained a haughty demeanor and said:

"How dare you kill me? I've already told you, I am the great god of misfortune and bad luck, you can't kill me!"

"Pfft." Lu Qing laughed out loud as if she had heard a very funny joke. She looked at the birds standing in the cage and said:

"Stop lying! Do you even believe what you're saying? I've never seen such a weak god!"

"How dare you call me weak!"

The black bird flapped its wings angrily, but before it could finish speaking, it realized that Lu Qing had already turned and left. The thought that it had been locked in a cage by her made it feel increasingly uneasy.

"She's not really going to kill me, is she? No way, no way."

Chapter 47: A Simple Birdcage

In fact, Lu Qing left partly because she wanted to try and trick this guy, and partly because she couldn't keep up the act any longer.

As soon as he turned his head, a smile spread across his face that he couldn't hide.

Without turning back, she went to the notice board and found that the cabin had an additional functional building.

[A shabby birdcage: A birdcage with extremely poor comfort and very low-end finish. But what does it matter? It's a place for an intruder. However, if the intruder is willing to pay a price, his future treatment might improve. Note: See the newly added cabin contract on the desktop for details.]

"Cabin contract?"

When Lu Qing saw what was written on the notice board, a look of confusion appeared on her face. She turned around and returned to the table, only to find that a brand new roll of parchment had appeared on the wooden table at some point.

Lu Qing spread the parchment out on the table and carefully examined its contents.

"Gurgle."

The birds in the cage, watching Lu Qing's actions, couldn't help but swallow hard, thinking to themselves:

"What is this woman doing? Is she figuring out how to kill me?"

Thinking of the mysterious methods the hut had displayed after the attack, the black bird couldn't help but feel regret.

He had only come to check on the situation because he sensed that one of the imprints he had spread had been destroyed. However, upon arriving here, he discovered that all his senses were being blocked by the wooden house in front of him. Enraged, he launched an attack on the house.
