Ring of Fate

Chapter 1021: Dying Struggle

As Lumian uttered the third honorific name, the dark clouds and lightning in the sky suddenly collapsed towards the center, forming a huge vortex that swept upward. It was like a giant with the sky as its face opening its single eye, or a strange tunnel with an unknown destination suddenly appeared in the void.

The vortex expanded rapidly, as if it was going to tear apart the sky and earth, and swelled into a door.

Seeing this, Mrs. Pualis, who had just escaped from paralysis, had a slightly gloomy expression. She held the baby Omybella and shrank into the giant green oak tree that seemed to support the sky, and disappeared from Lumian's sight.

Lumian then saw the mushroom monster with Li Keji's head as its cap standing still, as if it was being imprisoned in some way.

Then, the mushroom monster began to disintegrate from the abdomen, like a vase falling to the ground, breaking into many larger pieces.

These fragments continued to break, and in just a few seconds, they became a pile of particles that were invisible to the naked eye.

The disintegration spread rapidly to different parts of the mushroom monster's body, and finally reached Li Keji's head, which served as the cap.

The head soon became like fragments stuck together, but there was no trace of hatred or resentment on Li Keji's face.

His expression was uncontrollably distorted by the pain, but his eyes were extremely sincere and joyful.

He said to Lumian with difficulty:

“I really succeeded…

"Join us, let's go together and get a new life..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Keji's head shattered even more, into pixels.

Almost at the same time, Lumian discovered that the giant oak tree had suffered a similar fate.

But after it collapsed, Mrs. Puaris and baby Omybella did not appear in the heart of the tree.

No one knew where they were hiding, or maybe they had somehow escaped from the dream early.

So strong... Is this the power of the dream world's main consciousness to maintain order? Lumian activated the black mark on his right shoulder, trying to seize the moment when the other side of the world collapsed and escape from the scene.

Although he had prepared himself mentally to be kicked out of the dream completely and never be able to return, but hadn't he been executed yet?
You have to struggle!
What if it succeeds?

Lumian's figure immediately disappeared from the spot.

The destination he chose was the gate of Yangdu Prison.

Yes, I have committed a crime, you can lock me up, but don’t “exile” me!

The next second, Lumian appeared in a large office and saw a middle-aged man wearing a neat white shirt with a black diamond police rank on his shoulder.

This middle-aged man has an old-fashioned temperament, with dark black hair mixed with a little white. He is sitting quietly behind his desk, looking at Lumian with his dark brown and almost black eyes. He is exactly like the director of the Dream City Police Department, the symbol of the uniqueness of the "gate" passage, Yagaizi!

My "teleport" destination was changed to the Police Chief's office? Lumian suddenly realized this.

At this time, Yagai asked in a low voice:
"Who are you, and what exactly do you want to do in Yangdu?"

As Director Ya questioned him, Lumian suddenly felt the strong rejection of the dream and his own rapid transformation into a puppet.

He knew very well that once he left the Dream City like this, he would never be able to return.

Lumian's mind raced as he made his final struggle.

He thought of a hint that Amon had given him on the way to Mushu Hospital:
"The most fundamental fact is that the Fool never accommodated the uniqueness of the paths of Error and Gate, but the Heavenly Master did..."

What this sentence did not mention is that Mr. "Gate" had been accommodated for a long time, and Amon, the uniqueness of the "Gate" path, had been accommodated for a short time...

Therefore, Director Ya's essence is the product of the combination of the subconscious cognition of dreams, the spiritual imprint of Mr. "Gate", the spiritual imprint of Tianzun, and the spiritual imprint of Amon. It symbolizes the uniqueness of the "Gate" path and the power of the main consciousness of dreams to maintain order...

Director Ya... there is only one part of the subconscious in dreams, the spirit of Mr. Fool... If we want to avoid being kicked out this time, or not being kicked out completely, we can only think of ways to strengthen or stimulate the mental imprint of Mr. Door... Lumian got inspiration in a very short time and recalled Ms. Magician's introduction to Mr. Door.

While his thoughts were stuck and the repulsive power of the dream had not yet thrown him out, Lumian followed Director Ya's question and blurted out:
"I am an ally of the Abraham family!"

Suddenly, Lumian felt the air around him freeze.

At the same time, he noticed that Director Ya's dark brown, almost black eyes revealed some doubt and thought, and his brows subconsciously frowned, as if he was recalling something but couldn't really remember it.

The force that was rapidly transforming Lumian into a puppet slowed down, as did the strong rejection from the dream.

As expected... Director Ya's body mainly reflects the confrontation between Mr. "Door"'s spiritual imprint and Tianzun's spiritual imprint... Just now, I was thinking that even if I was kicked out of the dream completely and this matter was irreversible, I would still hold the idea of ​​fighting to the death and directly inform Director Ya about Mr. "Door"'s matter to stimulate the corresponding spiritual imprint and make it more active... Lumian's condition has improved a lot, and his thinking is no longer so laggy.

Seeing that Director Ya did not respond, he continued:
"My guide is a student of a member of the Abraham family. Now, she is protecting the entire Abraham family!"

Director Ya's expression became more and more puzzled, but his face was no longer stern.

Lumian quickly examined himself and found that the repulsive power of the dream still existed, but it had weakened a little.

It works, we need to increase our efforts! Lumian thought for just a second, then followed his spiritual intuition and shouted:
"I am a 'hunter' and a 'witch', and I still have the remnant of Alistair Tudor in me!"

"Alistair Tudor..." Director Ya repeated the name in a low voice, which seemed familiar and yet strange.

Lumian, feeling that the dream was still rejecting him, thought for a moment and said:

"I have also been contaminated by the Red Moon, but the situation is under control at the moment."

He knew that Mr. "Men" had once been contaminated by the "Great Mother", which was a common point between the two.

If it were just now, he would have directly pointed out that it was the "Great Mother" who caused the pollution. After all, they were all struggling desperately, so what was there to hide?
But now, he saw hope of not being completely kicked out of the dream, so naturally he didn't dare to speak too bluntly, fearing that it would not only irritate Mr. "Men", but also irritate Tianzun, causing the situation to take a sharp turn for the worse!

This is a popular saying in Dream City: those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Before, Lumian was barefoot and daring, but now the change in the situation has made him wear shoes and have some concerns.

Director Ya once again stared at Lumian in the "Witch of Despair" state, as if re-examining this wanted criminal who brought chaos and strife.

But the power of the dream's repulsion did not weaken.

Lumian resisted this rejection and rapid transformation into a puppet, and thought of his connection with Mr. Door.

He said with a try-it attitude:
"Amon once mentored me."

He said this not only because Mr. "Men" and Amon were both Grand Dukes of the Tudor Empire, but also because he had the hidden intention of stimulating the spiritual imprint of Amon in Director Ya's body.

"Amon..." Director Ya raised his right hand and pinched his chin.

Lumian saw his reaction, but did not feel the continued weakening of the dream repulsion power and the rapid puppetization power.

Still no use, just a little bit more… Before he could resist the repulsive force, Lumian shouted:
"I came to Yangdu to fight against those destroyers, the apostles of the evil gods, and prevent the evil gods from invading!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lumian felt the repulsive force of the dream suddenly weaken, and the power trying to turn him into a puppet became vague and no longer clear.

Director Ya looked at Lumian and nodded slowly:
"I can tell you're not lying.

"Crime must be punished, but if there are reasons and the circumstances are justifiable, the punishment can be mitigated."

Hearing these two sentences, Lumian breathed a sigh of relief.

His interpretation of this is:
You will be imprisoned, but not sentenced to life imprisonment or death;
You will be kicked out of the dream, but not completely kicked out of the dream.

"I accept the punishment." Lumian did not argue anymore because Director Ya had already made the judgment.

He just asked sincerely:

"Can I notify the family?"

"Sure." Director Ya, with a stern face, did not refuse the request.

Lumian quickly took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Franca using the voice input method in front of Director Ya:
“I’m fine, but I may be detained for a while. You can ask Miss Huang to help find a lawyer to see if she can bail me out.

“The mushroom monster has been cleared, but Li Keji said he finally succeeded. Wait for Jianna to come back and ask her to take Li Lu to the wards in Hongyue Hospital and Mushu Hospital where Li Keji was detained to see if there is anything he can find.

"Also, pay attention to whether the director of Mushu Hospital has been replaced."

After sending this message and waiting for more than ten seconds, Lumian received a brief reply from Franca:
"it is good."

Lumian immediately used the "Message Shredder" to delete the chat history and address book, then put the phone back into the "Traveler's Bag".

After finishing this, he looked at Director Ya again:
"I'm ready."

Director Ya then picked up the landline and dialed a number:
"Dunn, come here for a moment."

As he spoke, Lumian felt the repulsive force of the dream grow stronger once again.

He did not resist any more and followed this force to exit the dream.

…………

Trier, inside a luxurious villa.

Lumian opened his eyes in bed for the second time that day.

After examining his condition, his first reaction was to try to enter the dream city again.

The next second, he felt that he was not blocked, so he stopped the behavior and planned to wait 24 hours.

From a time perspective, this will not affect the "Mysterious Queen"'s exile of Emperor Roselle in the mirror.
