Ring of Fate

Chapter 1007 Solution

Seeing Zhou Mingrui looking at her, waiting for an answer, Luo Shan said uncertainly:
"It seems to be normal..."

She originally thought that Zhou Mingrui would not believe her judgment, because nothing had happened, nothing had encountered, and Luo Fu didn't know whether she had been rescued. How could he say "normal"?

Who would have thought that Zhou Mingrui actually nodded thoughtfully:

"I think so."

After two seconds, Zhou Mingrui took the initiative to ask:

"Do we still need to look for Luo Fu?"

"I, let me observe for a while..." Luo Shan walked cautiously to the edge of the elevator and stuck her head in.

She looked left and right and felt that this place was no different from other underground areas of hospitals except that it was too quiet and there were no people coming and going.

…………

Emergency Center, in the shadow of the corner.

Lumian and Franca both saw Janna, who was wearing a nightgown, with confused eyes and didn't know what to do.

She was kicked out of the dream... The two experienced people made their judgments in no particular order.

At this time, Janna also saw Rolf and Lumiana, and her originally nervous and worried heart suddenly relaxed.

Without saying anything more, Lumian grabbed Jenna's arm with his other hand and disappeared into the edge of the shadows with her.

The three then returned to Room 5, Building 2303, DeChuang Garden.

After confirming the situation in the room, Lumian said to Janna:

"It's nothing now, you can go and rest."

He had no idea what "rationalized" explanation the dream image "Jenna" would give for what had just happened, so he spoke vaguely to avoid cognitive conflict.

As for the "teleportation", there is no way to hide it anymore. Anyway, during this period of time, Zhou Mingrui has deeply realized the existence of supernatural powers, and there are indeed many extraordinary people active in the dream city.

Janna looked around in surprise and responded obediently:

"it is good."

After she entered the room and lay down on the bed, Lumian helped her close the bedroom door and turned to Franca and said:

"Let's go back to Mushu Hospital now and discuss what happened there."

Franka didn't ask why, but nodded slowly.

Using "teleportation", Lumian brought Franka to the green belt outside Mushu Hospital and turned his attention to the emergency center and the building.

After seeing the glass of the building shattered and parts of the wall burnt black, Lumian said to Franka:
“I think what happened today is a bit of a coincidence. When Zhou Mingrui came to investigate the situation at Mushu Hospital, you actually appeared in the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital.

"What happened?"

Hearing the word "coincidence", Franka's emotions fluctuated slightly.

She gathered her spirits and came to the basement of Mushu Hospital from where she and Janna fell asleep. She met Luo Shan and told her about her guesses and the psychological trauma she encountered later.

"At that time, the corridor began to collapse." Franca stopped talking and fell silent again.

Lumian glanced at her sideways, but did not ask any further questions. He continued:

"It is indeed a coincidence. Looking at it separately, whether it is that Zhou Mingrui chose to investigate the situation at Mushu Hospital tonight because of my reminder during the day and his own initiative, or that Luo Shan was stimulated and had psychological shadows, and was cleverly influenced by the hidden power using the nature of dreams, the tendency of psychological shadows to converge, and the close connection with mysticism, and 'led' you into the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital, these are all relatively clear logics and normal things that can happen.

“But it is obviously abnormal that these two things broke out in the same period of time and affected each other.

"At the same time, I got a reminder from Lu Yongan and followed Zhou Mingrui to sneak into Mushu Hospital."

Franka said instinctively:

"But who can arrange for Zhou Mingrui?"

"No need to arrange him, arranging us is enough." Lumian, who was in the "Desperate Witch" state, sneered, "It is uncertain when Zhou Mingrui will come to Mushu Hospital for investigation, but as long as he is found, the other side can be activated.

"The power lurking in or near Luo Shan's room should have existed for some time. Why did it have to exert its influence on Luo Shan tonight?"

Franca was silent for a moment, as if she had finally regained her ability to think:

"Lv Yongan has also been arranged?"

"Not necessarily. It's possible that she discovered that there is something wrong with me as the Son of God and that something will happen tonight, so she chose to lure me over and use your predicament to force me to become the real Son of God." Lumian thought for a few seconds and said, "Lv Yongan is probably not a dream image like Green that was influenced by the 'Great Mother'. She has an external consciousness."

Having said that, Lumian paused for a moment, his eyes cold as he whispered to himself:

"The patron saint of women and children..."

…………

Inside Mushu Hospital, the building's power supply system was not affected by the lightning strike. Only the ground separating the upper and lower floors was obviously charred, and one of the elevators stopped operating.

Lu Yongan walked in the dimly lit corridor and arrived at a room.

There was a wooden sign at the door of the room with five Chinese characters written on it:

"Dean's Office".

Lu Yongan knocked on the door and went in, saying to the man next to the broken glass window:
"She still didn't choose her mother's help."

"Got it." A voice sounded.

…………

Trier, inside a luxurious villa.

While observing Franka's "sleeping state", Janna told Ms. Judgment, Ms. Magician and Ms. Justice about what she and others had experienced and Franka's choice.

When she finished, the "magician" nodded thoughtfully and said:
"What exactly we want to gain from this tonight, and what the real purpose is, is still uncertain..."

Before she finished her words, Ms. Justice looked at the sleeping Franka and said:

"'Holy Grail Two' has left the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital and can roughly sense her and her surroundings."

When Janna heard this, her body suddenly shook, as if she had lost the strength to stand up straight because she was so relaxed in an instant.

Her breathing became heavier, and after a few seconds she said:
"never mind?"

"It can't be said that everything is fine." The "Magician" lady withdrew her gaze from the sleeping Franka.

Janna understood something and said worriedly:

"Yes, she performed a ritual in her dream and advanced to Sequence 4 by trickery, becoming the 'Witch of Despair'. After that, it is unknown how long it will take for her to digest the 'Despair' potion, and..."

Janna suddenly paused and didn't say the rest of the words.

What she originally wanted to say was, "Our goal is to wake up Mr. Fool as soon as possible and put an end to this dream, which contradicts the prerequisite of Franka's survival."

She didn't dare say this in front of the Major Arcana cards, for fear of hearing a cruel answer.

Ms. Justice showed a gentle smile with a hint of playfulness:
"I understand how you feel, but this isn't really a problem. Or rather, it's not as serious as you think."

"Ah?" Janna was surprised, happy and stunned.

Ms. Justice kept the same smile as before:

"First, the digestion of the 'Despair' potion in 'Holy Grail II' is progressing very quickly. We have already completed the 'make yourself despair' part. After that, we just need to find an opportunity to digest the 'make others despair' part. If we can summarize more detailed role-playing rules in this process, the digestion speed will be even faster."

Hearing this, Janna was stunned for a moment:
"You've already digested almost half of the 'despair' potion right after you were promoted?

"This is similar to Lumian's situation, but Lumian soon made the two demigods despair..."

“Yes.” Ms. Magician nodded in agreement. “Your situation at the time and the subsequent developments are likely to make people despair. Mr. Fool’s psychological shadow may contain something that makes Franka completely despair. Well, it makes her desire some kind of motivation and completely cut off hope.”

Jane's eyes moved slightly and said:

"What a coincidence..."

Ms. Justice sighed and smiled:

"That's one point. There's another reason why I said the matter of the Holy Grail II dream advancement is not very serious. That is, as long as we give her some time, a few minutes, she will not die even if she leaves the dream and returns to reality now. She just needs to pay some other price."

"Really?" Janna was surprised and confused.

Ms. Justice smiled and said:
“Due to capacity limitations, there are indeed many things we cannot do, but there are also many things we can do.

"The 'No Darkness' of the 'Sun' pathway can separate Beyonder characteristics, and even allow the characteristics in the Beyonder's body to be gradually extracted, from high to low. Although the 'Holy Grail II' is an advancement in the dream, the reality is also promoted. This is the fundamental reason why she cannot escape from the dream before completely digesting the potion.

"In other words, we can let Mr. Sun separate the extraordinary characteristics of the Witch of Despair from the body of the Second of the Holy Grail in reality. I will be responsible for stabilizing her mental state during this process. When her real body regresses back to the level of the Witch of Pain, there will be no problem of losing control on the spot after leaving the dream, as you worry.

"Of course, this solution will definitely leave some problems, some of which can even be considered serious. This is why we didn't mention this solution before. But compared to dying out of control, they are still acceptable."

Janna was a little stunned:
The advancement of dreams brings advancement in reality, and the decline of reality causes the decline of dreams?

If you can’t influence the dream, then change the reality?
…………

In the green belt outside Mushu Hospital, Lumian hid in the shadows, observing the situation of the building, the patients coming and going, and the emergency response personnel who had just arrived, but did not find any noteworthy targets.

After being silent for who knows how long, Franka finally spoke:
“Maybe they’ve already left, maybe they haven’t even been to the scene.

"Well, you can watch some short videos. The glass of the building was broken and it was struck by lightning. There must be a lot of people taking videos and uploading them. Maybe they captured something."

“Yes.” Lumian took out his phone and checked the local news, not missing a single video.

When he saw the video titled "Oh my God, the glass is broken", he suddenly found a familiar figure in the corner of the screen, at the edge of the emergency center.

The figure had slightly messy golden hair, blue eyes, short eyebrows, a noticeable beard on his face, and was wearing a black shirt.

Lumian's eyes froze.

This is Grisha.

Pengden's roommate Grisha!
