Ring of Fate

Chapter 1004 Choice
Mushu Hospital, in the corridor leading from the first floor lobby to the emergency center.

Roxanne slowed down to make it easier for Jana to lead her.

Jana ran very fast and finally saw Zhou Mingrui, who was wearing a loose sky blue T-shirt.

At the same time, her eyes swept outside the emergency center and into the deep night.

Janna stopped in her tracks and turned her body sideways, moving closer to the wall.

In this way, she couldn't see Zhou Mingrui, and Zhou Mingrui couldn't see her either.

"What's wrong?" Luo Shan, who braked, asked blankly.

"It's night time," Jenna whispered back.

"Is there any problem with this?" Luo Shan was even more confused.

Wasn't it clear from the beginning that it was night? Otherwise, why would I be dreaming?

Janna didn't have time to explain to Luo Shan that there might be something special about Zhou Mingrui at night, and she and others had not had time to experiment whether they would be kicked out of the dream if they just had normal contact with Zhou Mingrui at night.

She said directly to Roshan:
"It's not convenient for me to communicate with Zhou Mingrui at night. You go by yourself and ask him to help Luo Fu. Don't worry, I will hide in the shadows and observe the situation. If anything goes wrong, I will come out to rescue you immediately."

Luo Shan also knew that now was not a good time to ask questions, so she nodded heavily and said:

"it is good!"

When Janna's figure disappeared into the shadows by the wall, Luo Shan quickly ran into the emergency center.

She immediately saw Zhou Mingrui approaching the exit, seemingly planning to leave.

Luo Shan was anxious and blurted out:

"Zhou Mingrui!"

Zhou Mingrui turned around in surprise and saw Luo Shan wearing short-sleeved pajamas and thin pajamas.

Why is she here too? Zhou Mingrui's first reaction was that Luo Shan happened to come to the emergency room as well - pajamas and pants were not conspicuous at all in the emergency center, but rather fit the situation here.

Then, Zhou Mingrui thought that Luo Shan should also be a Beyonder, and was associated with nouns such as "reporter" and "painting", so it was unlikely that she would suddenly suffer from an emergency.

Not a coincidence? Zhou Mingrui was puzzled and took a few steps towards Luo Shan cautiously.

After Luo Shan approached Zhou Mingrui, she did not give him a chance to ask questions. She took a breath and said in a low voice:
"Save Raph, she's trapped under the hospital."

As she spoke, Luo Shan looked around to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Luo Fu? Under the hospital? Zhou Mingrui captured the two most critical pieces of information.

He still remembered the intense fear he had felt when he had just observed the downward elevator, suspecting that it led to hell and doomsday.

He didn't dare take the elevator down before he had enough information!

Now, where did Luo Fu go in and get trapped? Zhou Mingrui instinctively asked Luo Shan:

"Me? I'm going to save Raph?"

Are you kidding me? I'm just an "assassin" with a little bit of supernatural powers. Both Luo Fu and Luo Shan should be stronger than me. However, you asked me to go to the basement of Mushu Hospital to save Luo Fu?

After listening to the conversation between Franca and Janna before taking the "despair" potion, Roshan has basically confirmed that the current world is really a dream. Therefore, she believes that Zhou Mingrui, as the master of the dream, can do anything as long as he is "willing"!
Luo Shan couldn't start from the perspective that this was a dream, she was afraid that it would bring about unknown and drastic changes and waste precious time.

She could only think for two seconds and said:
"You don't need to go and rescue them directly. Just go to the second underground floor and stand there. That should be enough."

"Is this possible?" Zhou Mingrui was stunned.

Isn't this kind of rescue too trifling?

If I stand in the corridor on the second underground floor of Mushu Hospital, can Luo Fu no longer be trapped and escape from that area that gives me the feeling of hell?
What is the principle?
Find a male "assassin" to act as the center of the formation?
or……

Thinking of this, Zhou Mingrui suddenly had an idea:
Is there something special about me?

…………

In the elevator room on the second floor below ground.

"If you want to save someone from there, you can only pray for your mother's help?"

Lumian chewed over the words he had just heard and his eyes fell on Lu Yongan's face.

The face that looked like a full moon was dark and uncertain with a mixture of light and shadow.

Lumian looked at Lu Yongan deeply for a few seconds, and said calmly:
“I have other options, so I don’t need to ask my mother for help for now.

"Go back to the obstetrics department. If you really need to ask your mother for help, I know what to do."

Lu Yongan did not try to persuade him, but lowered his head slightly and said:
"Yes, Son of God."

The next second, she turned into the emergency passage and went up the stairs.

Lumian didn't wait for Lu Yongan to finish walking up the stairs. He quickly turned around, took a few steps to the edge of the elevator, and stared at the dark abyss that was just around the corner.

He then reached into the "traveler's bag" and pulled out an item.

The object was a pale yellowish-red, half-solidified candle in a glass bottle.

Corpse oil candles!

Lumian had not lied to Janna and Lu Yongan just now. He had really anticipated what to do if he had to raid the basement of Mushu Hospital and try to destroy it, and he had a preliminary, uncertain plan.

The core of this plan is the corpse oil candles obtained from the Tudor treasure vault on the "Blue Avenger".

Lumian had used the corpse oil candle once and completed the corresponding secret contract. He "saw" a strange city and sensed unspeakable horror.

He felt that the terror in that city was probably some object, some will or some existence that made it possible for Alistair Tudor to fall along with all the true gods, and occupied the top position of both the "Hunter" and "Witch" paths.

In other words, it should be roughly on the same level as Mr. Fool, the Great Mother, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Heavenly Master of Bliss.

What Lumian was planning was to light a corpse oil candle here, on the second floor below Mushu Hospital, next to the bottomless darkness formed by the subconscious psychological shadows of dreams and the abyss symbol of the "Mother Tree of Desire", complete a secret contract, and establish a certain connection with that strange city or that terrifying will.

By then, that will should also be interested in the underground of Mu Shu Hospital and the Dream City, and this place itself is a key node for the great beings to infiltrate some power.

Lumian laughed.

He was looking forward to the chaos that would ensue.

He was less concerned about what might happen to him.

Lumian rubbed his fingers together, creating a black flame that contained madness and violence.

He did not choose to use the "Hunter's" flame to light the corpse oil candles like last time, nor did he rely on the ritual fire produced by the "Witch's" black flame and spiritual friction. This time, he used the "Fire of Destruction", a "Fire of Destruction" that was a mixture of the two paths of "Hunter" and "Witch"!
This is almost the same as the nature of corpse oil candles.

——Corpse oil candles are made from the corpse oil of the hunter demigod "Iron-Blooded Knight" and the "Witch" demigod "Desperate Witch" mixed with other things.

With the help of the burning of the "Fire of Destruction", Lumian lit the black wick of the corpse oil candle.

After glancing at the flickering dark candle flame, he cast his gaze into the dense, dark, viscerally terrifying abyss of illusion, with a bright and moving smile on his face, and said in a calm tone:
"I'm not here to join you, I'm here to destroy this place."

…………

Franka fell deeper and deeper into the endless darkness of nothingness, and could not find a place to land.

Her emotions and spirit seemed to be falling into another abyss, becoming increasingly low, depressed, and desperate, and gradually a bit of malice grew in her.

Suddenly, a gray-white mist appeared and spread below her.

The fog is semi-fused with the thick darkness, indicating that it seems to be a psychological shadow rather than a real object.

Franka looked around and decided that she couldn't fall any further because she felt like she was about to be tied up and become a slave of the abyss, just like those caregivers.

She stopped running away and fell towards the half-dark, half-bright gray mist, muttering:

"If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided... If it is a blessing, it is not a disaster. If it is a disaster, it cannot be avoided..."

As she was muttering, Franka came into contact with the gray mist and penetrated into it.

Soon, her feet stepped on the soft clouds, and her whole body was suddenly filled with shock, sadness, despair and pain.

She knew that this was not actually her inner feeling, but the strong emotions that permeated the area enveloped her and eroded into her soul, making her feel as if she was polluted.

Then, Franka saw a blurry, brilliant light gate stained with a little blue-black. The light gate seemed to be composed of countless layers of light balls, and each light ball seemed to be alive, slowly wriggling, some were transparent, and some were translucent.

Franka also saw that there were thin black lines hanging above the light gate, suspending one almost transparent and invisible "cocoon" after another.

Those "silk cocoons" were blown by the wind from an unknown source, swaying gently and turning from time to time.

After careful examination, Franka discovered that different "cocoons" contained different people. There were black people, yellow people, white people, people wearing jeans, people wearing bright and gorgeous clothes, people dressed in two-dimensional style, and people holding mobile phones. They all had their eyes closed, as if they were not completely dead yet.

This is very similar to the first psychological shadow we encountered in the corridor, except that there was no light gate and no "cocoon" before... Franca, who was continued to be eroded by the surrounding emotions, suddenly thought of the hall where Huang Jiajia, Ai Nana and others were suspended. She had some enlightenment, but also some confusion.

She looked carefully for a while and noticed that three of the "cocoons" were empty. They had split open and the people inside were nowhere to be found.

“Is this being sent out?

"Where was he sent to?"

Franka was alert for possible details and instinctively moved a few steps to the side.

Another invisible wind blew by, and the "cocoons" swayed again, some of them turning towards Franka.

Franca glanced around and her pupils suddenly dilated.

She saw a familiar figure.

It was a man standing upright in a transparent "cocoon", his head slightly lowered, wearing clothes that belonged to the second-generation protagonist of "Assassin's Creed".

That's herself!
That was him before he traveled through time!
