Ring of Fate

Chapter 1023 Preparation (Double last day to ask for monthly tickets)

Hearing the "Magician" lady's sigh, everyone turned their eyes to Lumian.

Lumian smiled and said:
"Anyway, I'm not just being used by the Great Mother. When the time comes, let's decide who wins."

He always has this attitude towards things that cannot be solved temporarily and will not cause anyone to die. Otherwise, his mentality and emotions would have exploded long ago.

"But you must also be vigilant and try to stay away from the followers of the Great Mother." Ms. Judgment specifically reminded.

Lumian laughed at himself:
"Sometimes, I can't avoid it just because I want to."

His spiritual intuition told him that even if he never went to Mushu Hospital again, even if Mrs. Pualis and baby Oumibella were forced to leave the dream because of Director Ya's gaze, he would meet them again in the real world in the near future.

This seemed to be his destined fate after he ate the remains of Omybella's umbilical cord and came into direct contact with the bird egg and the sealed object "Gift of the Earth" deep in the underworld.

…………

Dream City, in front of the police station.

Two very imposing lawyers bailed out the pitiful Lumiana.

On a certain floor of the main building of the Police Department, Dunn stood behind the window, looking at Lumiana bending over to get into the car, frowning and saying to Director Yagai:

"Director, why don't you deny her request for bail?"

Yagaizi also stood at the window area and smiled helplessly:

“I also want to refuse, but it is true that she was not the one who killed Zarathustra. There is evidence of both witnesses and evidence. At that time, she and the child were still within the sight of the face-changing actor.

"As for her possible accomplices, didn't you try? You can't find out. She seems to have really lost her memory. Even her subconscious mind doesn't have the corresponding memory.

"After that, you should start with her social relationships and conduct an in-depth investigation."

"Yes, Director." Dunn agreed with this direction of investigation.

Yagaizi thought for two seconds and said slowly:

"They secretly listed Mushu Hospital as a key target for investigation."

"What happened?" Dunn asked vigilantly.

Yagaizi once again looked downstairs:
“After Li Keji was transferred back to Mushu Hospital, he turned into a monster and was eliminated by me. His transformation into a monster had a lot to do with the new director of Mushu Hospital.

"It won't be long before Mushu Hospital calls the police and reports that Li Keji is missing."

"Yes, the place where the body went last time was also the morgue of Mushu Hospital." Dunn nodded solemnly.

…………

Trier, inside a luxurious villa.

Janna pushed open the door of the rooftop sun room and saw Lumian sitting on the spacious balcony, concentrating on gazing at the Serenzo River flowing quietly not far away.

At this time, the setting sun cast a golden-red coat on the classical buildings on the other side of the river, and the bright spots of light ran away into the distance along the dim water.

Occasionally the whistle of a steamship returning to port could be heard.

"What are you thinking about?" Janna asked curiously as she walked towards the balcony.

Lumian's originally empty eyes gradually focused, and he said thoughtfully:

"I was thinking about the two sentences Amon said."

"Which two sentences?" Janna stood on the edge of the balcony, leaning on the railing, and admired the Serenzo River under the sunset.

Lumian recalled:

“In a word, what Peng Deng really wanted to hint at was something else.

"Another saying is, you need to know how to eliminate the interference of complex information and see the most fundamental facts."

At this point, Lumian whispered to himself:

"The most fundamental fact..."

Jenna half-turned around, and was about to discuss whether such words from Amon, a top swindler, could be believed, and how much to believe, but she saw Lumian suddenly stand up and walk out of the sun tanning room.

She was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.

Lumian came to the living room on the first floor and said to the "magician" lady who was reading:

"I have some guesses and ideas. When I return to the dream, I plan to plan an action to weaken Tianzun and awaken Mr. Fool in the near future. When the time comes, please cooperate with me fully."

The Magician stood up and confirmed directly without asking Lumian if he had any new guesses or ideas.
“How confident are you that you are on the right track?”

Lumian laughed and said:

“Not much, more to verify the speculation.

"We have collected a lot of information and obtained some resources, and Zhou Shasha is about to arrive in Yangdu. This symbolizes that the situation in the dream has reached a point. It is time for us to take the initiative to do something and cannot always respond passively.

“By then, if we succeed, everyone will be very happy. Even if we can’t wake Mr. Fool up completely, it means we have found the right path. We just need to continue moving in this direction. If we fail, we can eliminate some incorrect guesses and wrong directions, and we don’t need to take the wrong path in the future. Haha, I only have one last chance to enter the dream. If I really fail, I can just pass on the lucky gold coin so as not to delay the efforts of those who come after me.”

Just as Jenna was about to ask about an important detail, the "magician" lady had already asked for her:
"What about the 'Two of Grails'? Her 'Despair' potion has not been fully digested yet."

Lumian smiled:

"She won't appear directly. If the attempt fails, the dream will continue to exist and will not affect her subsequent digestion of the potion. If it succeeds, her 'despair' potion should be digested directly, and the same goes for mine.

"Well, to be on the safe side, please ask Mr. Sun to stand by Franka's bed in advance and be ready to help her extract the extraordinary characteristics of the Witch of Despair."

"Okay." The "Magician" lady agreed to Lumian's request.

She then asked:
“What are your new guesses and ideas?”

“I can’t tell you for now.” Lumian smiled.

He then explained:

"You are closely connected with Mr. Fool, which also means that you are closely connected with Tianzun. Although most of you will not be affected by this, it is possible that Tianzun will secretly watch you and let him get hold of some information.

"I'll tell you my thoughts after the operation officially begins."

The "Magician" lady felt this the most. She nodded slightly and said:
"The problems Mr. Pales and I had mainly stemmed from our own paths and personalities, but other people did frequently go in and out of the gray fog and would pray to Mr. Fool from time to time.

"Okay, now you are in the Dream City, and you are the captain, so you will be in charge."

…………

Dream city, late at night.

Janna returned and took Ludwig out of Room 5, Building 2303, DeChuang Garden, while Franca stayed to take care of Lumiana.

Although Franca observed the Mushu Hospital in the afternoon and found that there were many people who looked like plainclothes police officers nearby, she thought that the cultists inside should be well behaved for a while, but she still believed that they had to be wary of the possibility that Lumiana was attracted by Omybella's bloodline and sneaked over.

——She did not see any news about the replacement of the hospital director on the Mushu Hospital’s website, public account, or official video account.

A secluded place not far from Hongyue Hospital.

Janna took out the "Ice Amulet" given to her by Franka from the "Traveler's Bag" - Franka, who has become the "Witch of Despair", no longer needs external help, and can directly drill into the area behind the mirror and travel through the mirror world, so she gave all the corresponding talismans to Janna.

After placing the makeup mirror, Janna held Ludwig with one hand and held the "Ice Amulet" with the other, inspiring the latter.

In the flickering light of the glass, the two of them instantly entered the mirror hidden in the corner and traveled to the mirror-like object outside Li Keji's original ward.

After observing for a few seconds, Janna took Ludwig, left the mirror-like object, and jumped lightly into the corridor.

Because the ward was empty and there were no patients living there, the iron door was not locked. Janna opened a gap and slipped in.

Then she said to Ludwig:

"Can you see what's edible here?"

Ludwig quickly pointed to the quilt on the bed:

“It’s edible.”

The next second, he pointed at the bed and said:
“It’s edible, too.”

"..." Janna was speechless for a moment, and after a few seconds she said, "I mean better food, such as mushrooms."

Ludwig looked around, not ignoring the gaps between the ceiling and floor tiles:
"No."

No...Janna took advantage of the remaining effect of the "Ice Amulet" and took Ludwig away from here.

Not long after, she did the same thing and appeared in Li Keji's ward in the psychiatric department of Mushu Hospital with Ludwig.

"Is there any better food here, like mushrooms?" Janna looked at Ludwig again.

Ludwig searched carefully, sniffed around and said:

"No."

Neither place had Li Keji's final product... What should I do? Jian Na didn't dare to stay in the ward of Mushu Hospital for too long. She quickly left the psychiatric department and came to the tree-lined road outside, intending to go around to the front of the main building and take a car home.

——The power of the "Ice Amulet" to travel through the mirror world has completely disappeared, and Janna does not want to use the corresponding amulet again unnecessarily.

While walking with Ludwig at a moderate pace, Janna thought about the possible whereabouts of the healing mushroom:
"It merged with Li Keji and turned into ashes under Director Ya's watch?
"Or, before Li Keji received the 'treatment', he threw it into a corner of the underground first floor of Mushu Hospital?

"The basement level of Mushu Hospital does not welcome any unauthorized personnel... How can I find them?
"Use the 'Leodro' spell to destroy it, but that will cause the mushroom to be destroyed as well..."

When Jana thought of this, she suddenly had a spiritual premonition.

She suddenly half turned her body, raised her head, and looked towards the main building of Mushu Hospital which was nearby, and towards a room high up.

A face suddenly appeared behind the glass sleeping in the darkness, wrapped in white bandages with only the eyes and nostrils exposed.

As Janna was horrified, something passed through the glass and floated down.

The face wrapped in white bandages then moved away from the window.

With her "dark vision" and eagle-like eyesight, Janna quickly identified what was falling:
It was a dried, shrunken, lifeless jellyfish-like mushroom.

The mushroom corpse fell much faster than the leaves, and Ludwig caught it in just a few seconds.

Seeing this, Jana was moved and asked Ludwig:

"Can it be eaten?"
