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

"Why are you so interested in the headless rider Quark?" Tang Yuanyi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Well, because" the Dream Game event was extremely popular back then, almost everyone who followed Dream Game knew about it. Lu Qing didn't feel there was any need to keep it a secret, so she told Tang Yuanyi what happened at that event.

"So many people were paying attention to that event, why didn't you know about it?" Lu Qing asked, puzzled, after explaining to Tang Yuanyi.

"And I've never heard of any of the knowledge about gods you just mentioned, or the day of the fall of light!"

Lu Qing frowned. She had searched for information about gods on the internet in this world a long time ago, but the content was either from dream worlds or folk legends.

Of course, there are religions in the real world, and they even produce holy water that can heal wounds and dispel evil curses, but people believe in God and Jesus. Who is the God of Light?

"I was about to ask you the same thing, how come you don't even have some common sense!" Tang Yuanyi thought to herself.

"Could it be that she has no idea this is a false world created by the God of Illusion and Dreams? If that's the case, then what is her identity?"

Tang Yuanyi's brain was working at lightning speed, using the information she possessed as a deity to assess the current situation.

"Are they natives of this world, who were later granted reality and taken as servants by the God of Misfortune and Doom? Or were they abandoned in this world from childhood by the God of Misfortune and Doom, and are they part of some plan devised by the God of Misfortune?"

"Leaving aside how she came into this world and became a member of the ominous family, let's just talk about what the ominous one wants to do, and what my intrusion will cause?"

"My main consciousness and my clone are now trapped in this world. If Bu Xing wants to do something to me..."

Tang Yuanyi felt increasingly uneasy as she thought about it. She felt as if the whole world was filled with malice, and a chill ran down her spine, making her neck feel cold.

That cloyingly sweet feeling surged into her brain again, a series of indistinct whispers that seemed to echo in her mind.

"Tang Yuanyi, Tang Yuanyi?"

A muffled voice sounded beside her, gradually dispelling the negative emotions in her mind. Tang Yuanyi came back to her senses, and the ominous and malicious thoughts that were stirring within her retreated.

"Are you alright? You look a little pale." Lu Qing asked, looking at Tang Yuanyi's ashen face.

Thank God, she really didn't poison the food! Tang Yuanyi's current state has absolutely nothing to do with her!

"Sorry, I'm a little tired." Tang Yuanyi rubbed her forehead and looked at Lu Qing, pleading, "Could you please tell Brother Chen that I'm not feeling well and will be going back first? You don't need to send me my wages."

Brother Chen is the young man who took Tang Yuanyi to work; his full name is Chen Zhengsheng.

"Don't you need me to take you home?" Lu Qing asked, looking at Tang Yuanyi, who was walking unsteadily, with some concern.

"It's alright." Tang Yuanyi shook her head after looking at the street outside after the rain stopped, and stepped out of the warehouse.

"Wein, go check on Tang Yuanyi. I'm afraid she might collapse on the way." Watching Tang Yuanyi's departing figure, Lu Qing said to Wei Yin with some concern.

"Yes, little master."

Chapter Eleven: Wayne Delivers Takeout, the Flying Chicken Who Works

"Uh, my head hurts a little."

In the early morning, the dim sunlight shone through the gap in the curtains. Lu Qing opened her eyes and sat up from the bed sheet, feeling a little tired.

She felt like she was having a dream in which she made a bizarre dish involving frogs.

It has a dark green skin, huge round pupils, and a hollow interior. Chewing it feels like eating plastic; it's incredibly elastic and bursts with juice.

It's a bit disgusting.

"Ew," Lu Qing shook her head in disgust and quickly deleted the lingering impression from her mind.

Since the Dream Game was shut down, people have regained the right to dream, including Lu Qing. However, this is the first time she has dreamed in all these days.

"Unfortunately, it wasn't a good dream."

Lu Qing put on her slippers, left her room, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

The cool tap water splashed on her cheeks, making her feel more awake after just waking up. She didn't know if it was because of the rainy day or because she hadn't slept well last night, but Lu Qing felt a slight headache.

After washing up, she slumped onto the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and took out her phone to open a food delivery app.

I don't seem to have much energy, so I'll just order takeout. Cooking for myself is actually quite a hassle.

After casually picking through the options, Lu Qing ordered a large portion of wontons with chive and pork filling, two beef pies, and a black pepper sausage.

After ordering takeout, she went back to the kitchen and cooked a large bowl of soy milk.

Every night before going to bed, she soaks the soybeans in advance so that she can have fresh soy milk to drink every morning when she wakes up.

Lu Qing likes to drink soy milk and eat tofu. In addition, she also likes noodles and sweets.

Sipping her soy milk and watching TV, Lu Qing waited for her takeout.

At the same time, an emergency news report was interrupted on the television.

"Breaking news! Last night at midnight, members of the public discovered signs of ghostly activity at the edge of Mirror Lake. According to the on-site investigation, the ghostly creature may have crawled out from the bottom of Mirror Lake."

"Was it done by a Dream Summoner?" Lu Qing frowned slightly as she watched the news suddenly interrupt the TV broadcast.

Undead creatures, it feels like something a necromancer would do. They crawled out from the bottom of Mirror Lake. Could it be that the corpses under Mirror Lake were resurrected, or were they undead creatures summoned directly from the bottom of Mirror Lake?

Regardless, the authorities must investigate this matter thoroughly. It's important to understand that a large portion of the tap water in Jinghu City comes from Jinghu Lake, even though this water undergoes treatment at the water treatment plant.

If there really were human corpses in Mirror Lake, I'd still feel uneasy.

"Glug glug." Lu Qing drank the soy milk without any guilt, without having any particular thoughts in her mind, and even wanted another cup.

And that's exactly what she did. After refilling her cup of soy milk, she sat in front of the TV as if nothing had happened and continued watching the news.

Even if there are corpses in Mirror Lake, so what? After all, how many people throw garbage into the lake every year? And who knows, some unscrupulous factories might secretly discharge waste into the lake.

Of course, the latter is almost impossible under the government's vigorous inspection.

Water itself has self-purification capabilities, and with the double purification from the waterworks, those impurities cannot be drunk. Even if you do drink them, as long as nothing bad happens, it's fine. Lu Qing's heart has already been tempered by the dream game, so this kind of thing has no effect on her at all.

The most important thing should be finding the mage who controls the undead, since no one knows what that mage wants to do by controlling the undead.

"Hmm, I'll be more careful when I go out in the future," Lu Qing thought to herself as she watched the news.

That said, ever since she woke up, she had felt the blood she had marked on Tang Yuanyi's body constantly moving, and without any discernible pattern.

At first, Lu Qing thought that Tang Yuanyi had discovered her mark, until now she realized that the mark was getting closer and closer to her.

"I didn't tell her my home address either."

Lu Qing looked a little strange and checked her phone to see how far the deliveryman was from her.

[The rider is currently delivering goods (34 meters)]

"No way."

Standing up from the sofa, Lu Qing, wearing loose pajamas, pushed open her bedroom door. After waiting a moment, she saw Tang Yuanyi running up the stairs with a packaging bag in her hand.

"Lu, Lu Qing?" Tang Yuanyi asked with great surprise when she saw Lu Qing standing at the door waiting for her.

"How did you end up here?" she couldn't help but ask.

“This is my home,” Lu Qing said, pointing to the house number above her head.

"This..." Tang Yuanyi looked up at the house number, then at her phone, and realized that it was indeed the right place.

"Why are you delivering takeout? And what's this phone of yours?" Lu Qing asked curiously as she took the takeout from Tang Yuanyi.

"This phone isn't mine; a senior colleague lent it to me," Tang Yuanyi explained to Lu Qing.

"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Lu Qing invited Tang Yuanyi.

"Hmm," Tang Yuanyi was about to nod when she suddenly remembered something and shook her head, saying, "I still have a few takeout orders to deliver. I'll come back and talk to you after I finish them."

"No need, I'll deliver it for you." Lu Qing placed the package in her hand on the coffee table in the living room, then gently flicked Wayne, who was sleeping on the clothes rack, with her finger.

"Hmm?!" Vein, who was sleeping, was awakened by Lu Qing. She looked around in a daze and greeted Lu Qing, "Good morning, little master." Then she looked at Tang Yuanyi and said, "Good morning, Miss Tang Yuanyi."

"Good morning," Tang Yuanyi replied.

"Well, Wayne, I need your help with something. You know how food delivery is, right? Could you deliver the remaining orders for Tang Yuanyi? I have something I want to talk to her about." Lu Qing looked at Wayne a little embarrassedly.

"You woke me up just to make me deliver takeout?" Wayne looked at Lu Qing incredulously, then spread his wings in protest, "I don't want to work like those mortals! You should make me do something more meaningful!"

"Stop complaining, I'll cook you something delicious later." Lu Qing patted Wayne's bird head.

"Don't try to bribe me with food, cough cough, I know, I'll go right away, stop pinching me!" Wayne's words of refusal were only halfway through when he felt the force of the hand on his head increase, and he quickly agreed.

"Seriously, what a bird!" Wayne grabbed the takeout box with his claws, then flapped his wings and flew out of the window.

With her phone's navigation, she won't get lost, and because she's flying in the air, she can head straight towards her destination, making her food delivery efficiency quite high.

If Lu Qing ever runs out of money, having Wayne deliver takeout would probably be enough to support her.

Of course, Lu Qing wouldn't let Wayne do that.

Chapter Twelve: The Dream of the Gods

"Alright, now you don't need to worry about takeout anymore. Let's have a good chat about the topics we didn't finish discussing last time." Watching Wayne fly away into the distance, Lu Qing turned to Tang Yuanyi and said.

"Hmm," Tang Yuan lowered her head and thought for a moment. Looking at Lu Qing's gentle face, she nodded and asked, "Where do you want to start asking?"

"Let's start with..." Lu Qing recalled their last conversation, where their common sense was different, just like they lived in different worlds.

"Let's start with the common sense we learned last time."

"Common sense?" Tang Yuanyi wasn't stupid; she immediately understood the meaning behind Lu Qing's words. She hesitated for a moment, then asked somewhat tentatively, "Do you believe that there are other worlds besides this one?"

Upon hearing Tang Yuanyi's words, Lu Qing was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Tang Yuanyi to ask so directly. However, her clear eyes quickly regained their brightness, and she firmly replied:

"I believe!"

"Hey, hey, hey! You, you actually believe that? No, don't you think I'm a liar?" Tang Yuanyi said, waving her hands in surprise. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be very hard to believe!

She was unaware that Lu Qing herself possessed memories of other worlds, so she firmly believed in the existence of multiple worlds, but she wouldn't tell anyone else about it.

“My intuition tells me to believe you, and I don’t think a mage who can teleport through space would deliberately make up a series of stories to fool me.” Lu Qing originally wanted to say that the other party was a dream summoner, but considering that the other party might not even be from this world, she temporarily changed the way she addressed him.

"I'm not a mage," Tang Yuanyi said with a gentle smile upon hearing Lu Qing's address.

"If you're not a mage, then what are you?" Lu Qing continued to ask, seizing the opportunity to bring up the topic.
