Ring of Fate

Chapter 1011 Dawn (Please give me double monthly tickets on the last day of September)
Lumian easily understood what Franca meant:
The dream city itself is constructed based on Zhou Mingrui's memories before he "traveled through time", but none of the dream images that are very close to Zhou Mingrui and relatively important come from before he "traveled through time". They all come from Zhou Mingrui's experiences after he "traveled through time", except for Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia.

There is obviously something wrong with this!

“We previously thought that Mr. Fool was a great being that had revived and did not belong to this era. Well… he really did not belong to this era. Mr. Fool was really honest…” Franka suddenly understood the true meaning of a certain sentence in Mr. Fool’s honorific name.

She adjusted her mindset and continued:

"Based on our previous understanding, it is very reasonable that there is no dream image related to the identity of 'Zhou Mingrui'. As a former great being, he should be involved in great beings and fallen ancient gods. These are restricted and cannot really get close to Zhou Mingrui. Weren't we still wondering who Peng Deng was and who he corresponded to in reality? We didn't consider that he was really Zhou Mingrui's childhood friend.

"But if Zhou Mingrui is a 'time traveler' like me, and becomes a great being step by step, it would be really amazing. He can surpass the gods with a mortal body and dominate the spirit world..."

At this point, the wound in Franka's heart was once again pulled and pierced into the sawdust.

She was thinking of how people like Mr. Fool were shocked, sad, painful, and desperate when they learned the truth about their time travel, and how they could not return to their hometown even after becoming great beings. After he fell asleep, the corresponding events even left a strong psychological shadow on him.

If Mr. Fool is like this, what about her, let alone them?
Lumian could guess what Franca was thinking and why she paused, because he had similar associations and the same emotions arose deep in his heart.

After a moment of silence, Franka gathered her thoughts and continued:

"If Zhou Mingrui is a 'time traveler' and was an ordinary person before, then what about his parents, relatives, classmates, friends, and good online friends?"

Lumian looked at the ice board covered with photos, sketches and notes, and said thoughtfully:

"In the dream, Zhou Mingrui has parents, but they are not in Yangdu. They live in a hometown that only exists in the description. Zhou Mingrui hardly contacts them and always conveys his greetings through Zhou Benson. Moreover, the setting of the parents in the dream is obviously derived from Klein Moretti's parents.

"Similarly, the real-life prototypes of brother Benson Zhou and sister Shasha Zhou are Klein Moretti's brother Benson Moretti and sister Melissa Moretti.

“Among other relatives, friends, classmates, and netizens, perhaps only Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia are Zhou Mingrui’s childhood friends.”

Zhang Yujia is Zhou Mingrui and Peng Deng’s classmate in junior high school and high school, and is also currently working in Yangdu.

She comes from a wealthy family and often travels. She is currently on a so-called European trip. In the memory of the Major Arcana cards, Zhang Yujia has never really appeared. If she hadn't often sent postcards to Zhou Mingrui and Peng Deng, and chatted with them online from time to time, she could have been treated as a background figure like Zhou Mingrui's parents.

Franka said "hmm":
“Now there are two problems:
"First, why did Zhou Mingrui's true relationship disappear? Did Mr. Fool deliberately hide it, or did the Heavenly Venerable do something? If it's the former, why did Mr. Fool hide it? Is this the key point? If it's the latter, does this mean that the Heavenly Venerable is afraid of something?
"Secondly, given that none of Zhou Mingrui's other related characters appeared in Dream City, the existence of Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia is even more questionable. In addition, we saw Peng Deng's roommate Grisha appear in the emergency center. I think we need to focus more on Peng Deng."

Lumian put himself in Mr. Fool's shoes and thought for a while.
"If I were Mr. Fool, and this dream city was the battlefield where I was fighting against the Tianzun consciousness, then my subconscious mind would not want my real parents, relatives, classmates, and friends to get involved, even if they were just false dream images and just my memories."

"Considering that Zhou Mingrui and Klein Moretti's cognition has already integrated this logic, the dream images corresponding to Benson and Melissa should not appear." Franca joined the brainstorming.

Lumian smiled.

"Who said they were woven by Mr. Fool's subconscious?
"What if the Heavenly Master did it on purpose?"

“The Heavenly Sovereign knows Mr. Fool’s experiences after his ‘crossing’, but has no way of exploring his interpersonal relationships before his ‘crossing’?” Franka made a new guess based on Lumian’s question. “So, the dream images corresponding to characters like Benson, Melissa, and Danitz had to appear, but some were arranged outside the dream city, and some had only a superficial relationship with Zhou Mingrui. Is this a subconscious protection for these dream images? Is it the external result of the confrontation between Mr. Fool and the Heavenly Sovereign’s consciousness?”

Lumian nodded:
“If Tianzun is indeed not very clear about Mr. Fool’s interpersonal relationships before his ‘crossing’, does that mean that He has not yet eroded and polluted Mr. Fool’s core consciousness?”

"Hmm." Franca suddenly had an idea, "I understand why Siatas became Zhou Mingrui's roommate."

She stood up, walked to the area near the window, paced back and forth a few steps, and said:
“We previously suspected that the elves were former time travelers, but now it seems that they are more like the descendants of the Western Continent bloodline that survived on the North and South Continents and the Five Seas.

"To Mr. Fool, these are descendants of fellow villagers, so the relationship is very close and the position is very close.

"Similarly, the Intis Group where Zhou Mingrui works was founded by the 'traveller' Emperor Roselle, and the boss of the company next door is another 'traveller', the successor of the ancient sun god. These dream images are very close to Zhou Mingrui."

The more Franca spoke, the more she became convinced that her interpretation of the symbolism in this regard was correct.

She thought about it and said:

"We at the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society have reconciled our accounts and found that we 'traveled' to the current world in 1352, which was seven years ago. The data provided by the Major Arcana cards show that Mr. The Fool also fell asleep in 1352.

"Mr. Fool went into deep sleep, and before confronting the Celestial Lord, he released all of us from the 'cocoon'?"

"That should be the case." Lumian felt that there was nothing wrong with Franca's reasoning.

He also stood up and said thoughtfully:

“Leave the matter of contacting Peng Deng to Anthony. He can make more radical attempts.

"If we can figure out Peng Deng's true identity and the purpose of his existence, perhaps we can find a way to weaken Tian Zun and awaken Mr. Fool."

At this point, Lumienne paused, his eyes narrowed slightly:

"If there is nothing wrong with what we just discussed, then Zhou Shasha's going to Yangdu to study at university probably has a strong symbolic meaning, which is not a very good symbolic meaning for Mr. Fool."

Logically speaking, Zhou Shasha should be outside the Dream City and not involved in this "battlefield".

Franca was shocked:
"When will Zhou Shasha arrive?"

"Wednesday," Lumian replied in a low voice, "It's already Monday."

Franka hissed:
"Before Zhou Shasha arrives in Yangdu, both Peng Deng and An Xiaotian must make substantial progress!"

Lumian nodded slightly:
"Ah."

The two discussed the matter for a long time.

“You took the initiative to leave the dream this morning and return to reality to inquire about more detailed information about the Ancient Sun God and the Aurora Society. Since Grisha showed up at the arranged scene, and Anthony was frightened by the hallucination after contacting Pengden and left the dream on his own initiative, I suspect that Pengden and his roommate are related to the Ancient Sun God, and we lack sufficient information to accurately determine this. Also, don’t forget to let Ms. Magician check your physical condition.” Finally, Franka reminded Lumian.

Lumian smiled and said:

“I’m just worried that the Major Arcana don’t know enough, or that there’s information that we can’t access right now.

"After that, you will move behind the scenes and switch positions with Anthony. Let him do the testing and you don't have to show up."

"Okay." After Franka answered, she finally broke away from the state of focusing on the discussion.

She found that the window area had been lit up at some point, and outside the glass, the morning sun was shining with a hint of golden color, clarifying the entire sky and rendering the trees and leaves green.

Birds chirped as they flew by, and occasionally some human voices could be heard, which was soothing and relaxing.

Its daybreak.

The sun has risen.

The day has come.

Franka stared at the morning scene and muttered to herself almost silently:

"What a nice view."

The sunlight penetrated the glass and shone on her and Lumian, as if a great being was gently soothing their souls.

…………

After Lumian returned to Xinhong Community and told Anthony about testing Peng Deng, Franca took the elevator to the 23rd floor and entered the house she and Janna rented.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw that Janna had woken up and was busy cleaning herself up.

"So early?" Franca asked.

"It's getting late. I have to put on my makeup carefully. I need to walk around the company today. Maybe I'll be noticed by some crew." Dream Janna said without turning her head.

Yes, today is Monday, and Janna has to go to Hall Films...but she is in a dream state now, will something go wrong...Franca couldn't help but worry.

At this time, Dream Janna went into the bathroom, and Roxanne came out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes.

After seeing Luo Fu, she greeted him:
"Nothing happened, right?"

She thought that Rav and Lumiana stayed overnight at her house to personally confirm whether there were any hidden dangers.

"Everything is normal for now." Franca said half soothingly and half telling the truth.

She then told Roxanne:
“I’m quitting.”

"Ah?" Luo Shan was stunned.

Franka smiled gently:
"I have to move behind the scenes, because if I get kicked out of the dream now, I will actually die."

Luo Shan suddenly remembered the conversation between Luo Fu and Janna that she heard last night. Some of the words that she couldn't understand at the time, she finally understood now.

She suddenly felt that she was no longer alone, and smiled back:

"IM about the same."

Without dreams, I would disappear.

PS: On the last day of September, I want to double the monthly tickets~
