Ring of Fate

Chapter 1010 Important Information (Please give me double monthly tickets in the last two days)
Lumian actually resonated with Franka's words:

"If there is no hidden danger in the dream of Koldu Village, I don't want to wake up..."

Having sighed here, he suddenly paused, and then said in a low voice:

"No, I will force myself to wake up."

There's no way to try to revive Auror if she doesn't wake up!

Franca silently withdrew her gaze, walked to the long sofa in Rosanne's house, sat down, and leaned against the back of the sofa as if she had no strength to support her body.

Lumian took a look and followed, sitting next to Franca.

Franca looked sideways at him and said nothing.

After more than ten seconds, she looked at the unturned TV opposite her and said to herself:

"In the past, my favorite thing to do at home was to pick up a random channel, listen to the sound and play with my phone. Every time I did that, my mother would scold me..."

Lumian did not respond, but listened quietly.

The expression on Franka's face gradually softened:

"My mother used to run a restaurant, and later turned it into a wine shop. She has an impatient temper and is very decisive. She can't stand me being lazy, but she just said a few words, and it went in one ear and out the other. It didn't affect me at all. Later, the wine shop business wasn't very good for a few years, so she simply closed it. She would play cards and brag with her brothers, sisters, girlfriends and friends every day, eat here and drink there, and occasionally go out in a group. I'm not too carefree or happy.

"My father, my brother and I are also very happy. We don't have to be scolded or nagged. In my father's words, we see each other every day, take a walk together, and chat about family matters before going to bed. Our relationship has improved.

"My father is a middle manager of a large company. He liked playing with electronic products at an early age. At first, he played with radios, and later he started to tinker with computers and play games. When I was a child, I was very confused as to why my father always sat in front of the computer. He said he was working, but in fact he was always clicking on strange pictures. When I grew up a little, I also fell in love with playing games. Perhaps this is the result of teaching by example.

"My parents wanted to have another daughter at first, so that I could have a younger sister. They prepared a fine and a room for this purpose. Who knew that she got pregnant with a son again? But they couldn't bear to abort the baby, so they gave birth to the child anyway. Isn't it said that second-borns are very good at reading people's expressions, very well-behaved, and have high emotional intelligence because there is a big one above them? Why did that kid do the opposite? He looked down on everyone and thought he was very trendy and fashionable. He would only cause trouble when he went out.

"When he was in primary school, he had a conflict with someone and was beaten up. He came crying and asked me, his eldest brother, to help him. As a result, the other person had a cousin and an older cousin, so I was beaten up as well.

"That made me particularly obsessed with urban supernatural novels and modern martial arts novels for a while, and I fantasized that I had martial arts and superpowers.

"My college entrance exam scores were OK, and I was admitted to medical school. I got along well with my roommates. They all praised me for my good character, my willingness to pay, my cheerfulness and optimism, and my generosity with money.

"I'm not bad looking, and some girls have chased me before, but I was too busy playing games and visiting comic conventions at the time to have the time to date. Of course, it was also because her looks and personality weren't what I liked."

Having said this, Franca paused and said:

"Apart from worrying about having to work as a laborer in the future, I have no regrets and nothing I would like to change..."

Lumian turned his head and looked at Franca, and found that she was leaning against the back of the sofa with empty eyes and no focus, and crystal drops of water kept sliding down her face silently.

Lumian did not try to comfort Franca with words. He simply stretched out his left arm, quietly hugged her left shoulder, and let her lean towards him.

Franca instinctively struggled a few times, but soon chose to give up.

After leaning against Lumian, she continued to speak to herself:

"I had originally planned to practice driving my mom's car during the holidays, and then find a chance to meet my online friends in Shanghai and spend a week there...

"I've planned which games to buy recently, planned to visit my grandparents, and planned to play games with my dad for two hours every day when I have time, so that he can experience what it means to be a skilled gamer...

"I've even planned how to educate that bastard. I've planned to go to the place where my mother plays cards and act like a filial son for a few days, serving tea and water, and accepting tips..."

As she spoke, Franka's voice gradually became lower and lower until it disappeared.

Lumian waited for a few minutes before lowering his head. He saw that Franca had closed her eyes and fell asleep leaning against his left shoulder to his left chest. Her legs had slid off the sofa at some point.

Lumian didn't move, staring at the dark LCD TV, his thoughts gradually dispersing.

After an unknown amount of time, Franca seemed to have had a nightmare. She opened her eyes suddenly and straightened her back.

She glanced left and right, finally coming to her senses and remembering what happened last night.

Huh... She exhaled slowly and asked Lumian:
"what time is it?"

"It's a little after four in the morning, not even five yet," Lumian replied calmly.

Franka said "hmm" and suddenly remembered something:
"Will there be any problems if Janna and Roxanne are alone in Room 2303?"

Now Janna is a pure dream image, while Roxanne is being targeted by an unknown force!
"I have been using the mirror to monitor the movements of Unit 2303." Lumian said in a calm tone.

Only then did Franka feel relieved.

She twisted her shoulders, shook off Lumian's arm, and sat up straight.

"Damn it, I actually cried before, and you saw it... Men don't cry easily!"

“It’s just that I’m not sad yet.” Lumian replied.

Hearing this, both Franka and he fell silent.

"That's really hurtful..." Franka muttered after a few seconds, "You can actually answer it so smoothly."

"After knowing the truth about the time travel and resonating with your emotions, the activation level of Auror's soul fragments seems to have become a little higher..." Lumian said happily.

Franka bit her lip and said nothing.

She immediately rubbed her face:

"We can't continue in the state we were in just now. We have to get down to business!"

"What's the matter?" Lumian asked.

Franka thought for a few seconds and said:

"According to what you said before, there were signs that what happened tonight was planned, and it is suspected that Peng Deng's roommate Grisha was behind it.

"Assuming this is true, what is their purpose? It's impossible that they deliberately arranged it to force me to forcibly advance in my dream and quickly find an opportunity to digest the 'despair' potion, right?
“Is this a good thing for a good person?”

Lumian understood that Franca wanted to distract herself with serious matters to ease her inner sadness and despair, so he nodded in agreement:

“From Luo Shan’s feedback, Zhou Mingrui was not affected by this incident. He just found out that he had some special characteristics and that there were major problems in the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital.

“The illusory abyss in the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital was also hidden in time, and did not encounter Zhou Mingrui, and it was almost intact.

"The real purpose is to let me use the corpse oil candles to complete a secret agreement underground in Mushu Hospital?
"And, let's use the psychological shadows in the underground area of ​​Mushu Hospital to find important information?"

Franka nodded slowly and said:

“Yes, I can almost confirm one thing now:
"Mr. Fool is also a time traveler, just like me and Emperor Roselle."

As she spoke, Franka suddenly laughed at herself:
"No, they are not time travelers, they are ancient people."

"Are you saying that the three empty 'cocoons' correspond to the three travelers before you?" Lumian understood what Franca was talking about.

"Well, the Ancient Sun God, Emperor Roselle, and Mr. Fool." Franka further said, "Mr. Fool should also have gradually become a true god and a great existence from a mortal body. Klein Moretti, Sherlock Moriarty, and Gehrman Sparrow are probably not his incarnations, but different identities at different stages of his growth. These names all come from our world, no, super ancient entertainment works, and so does Utopia.

"Well, Gehrman Sparrow's identity has become the Angel of Redemption. Some people believe in him, and some people worship him. This is probably very different from his other identities."

Lumian said thoughtfully:

"Zhou Mingrui is Mr. Fool's real name. What was his identity before he traveled through time?"

"That should be the case." Franca said of her speculation, "So Zhou Mingrui is the core of the dream, and is the self that Mr. Fool subconsciously thinks of himself. All important dream images are distributed around him, while identities such as Sherlock Moriarty are scattered in the dream city and have no special features.

"The only difference between them is Gehrman Sparrow, who is believed by a large number of people. There was no such character in the Dream City originally, and there was not even a story about him. It was only because Ms. Magician and Ms. Justice created him out of thin air that he became a classic character."

"This also shows that the 'world' Gehrman Sparrow may indeed have a special symbol or meaning."

Lumian thought for a moment and said:

"Klein Moretti's identity is also very special and does not exist in the Dream City."

Franka tried to put herself in the situation and spoke slowly:

"The characters corresponding to Klein Moretti all exist in the Dream City, but they are referring to Zhou Mingrui.

"Klein Moretti is Mr. Fool's first identity after traveling through time. He has gained his recognition. Are the two of us merging in our self-perceptions?
"So, Zhou Mingrui is also Klein Moretti, and Klein Moretti is also Zhou Mingrui. There is no difference between the two."

"That does explain it." Lumian agreed with Franca's guess.

At this moment, Franka suddenly frowned:
"Take that out. The whiteboard with photos of important people in Dream City and observations on it."

Without asking why, Lumian took out the white board made of frost and placed it across from the coffee table.

Franka looked at the photos, sketches, introductions, and observations on the whiteboard, her eyes moving left and right.

After a while, she said in a serious voice:
"If Mr. Fool is really a time traveler, these dream images hide a big problem."

Without waiting for Lumian's response, Franca explained:

"Except for Peng Deng and my childhood friend Zhang Yujia, who only sent back postcards, all the important dream images here have nothing to do with 'Zhou Mingrui'.

"They all come from Klein Moretti, Sherlock Moriarty, Gehrman Sparrow, and Mr. Fool's other identities. They come from the current world. None of them come from before the time travel. None of them are ancient!

"Why is this happening?"
