Ring of Fate

Chapter 905 Platform (Please give me a monthly ticket in the last half day)

Before Lumian could use meditation to make himself fall asleep, his vision suddenly went dark, and his consciousness seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, falling straight into the depths of the earth.

He resisted instinctively for a moment, then felt as if he had jumped out of the dark seabed.

A dusk-like glow immediately lit up before his eyes, shining into the darkness through the giant glass divided into countless small grids, bringing limited light.

In such light, Lumian saw a black steam train with two kerosene lamps hanging on it, a platform with a dome, and at the edge of the platform, near the steam train, stood a "magician" lady wearing a beige long dress with gold embroidery and a wide-brimmed sun hat.

Next to the "magician" was a lady in a plain green dress, and a big golden retriever was squatting.

When Lumian saw the lady in the green dress, he felt surprised and puzzled:

Another "witch"?
Is there another "witch" in the "Tarot Club"?
“So beautiful.” Lumian heard Franca’s soft sighing voice. “But she doesn’t look like a ‘witch’. Her temperament doesn’t match that. Unless she is already a Sequence 3 ‘Immortal Witch’…”

Lumian also discovered a similar problem after hearing this:

The lady in the green dress had long hair as smooth as gold, part of which was tied into a bun, and the rest was soft and draped down. Her emerald green eyes were like the most beautiful gems, and so deep that they seemed to be able to reflect the innermost consciousness of all witnesses. Her face was extremely delicate, and her beauty could be compared with that of "witches". Her temperament was elegant with a bit of the purity and clarity of a girl.

Such a temperament is very rare among the group of "witches" below Sequence 3, at least Lumian and Franca have never seen it.

In addition, Lumian discovered that seeing this lady did not make him have the same desire as when facing the "witches". Instead, his heart was at peace, and he felt warm and at ease.

This familiar feeling touched Lumian's spiritual intuition and brought back certain memories.

Combined with what the "Magician" lady said before, he quickly made a judgment:
"Good evening, Ms. Justice!"

The elegant lady in the green dress with a bit of girlishness should be the Major Arcana card "Justice", one of her own "psychologists"!

"Good evening, Ms. Justice." The second voice was Anthony.

After Franca followed Janna and politely greeted Ms. Justice, her eyes suddenly widened.

She pointed at Lumian and said:

"You, how did you turn back into a man?"

Uh… Lumian reflexively looked at himself and found that he was not wearing the black cloak. The bulge in his chest had subsided. The white shirt, black vest and dark trousers fit him as well as before.

And Franca was still wearing a women's shirt with lace flowers and off-white breeches, with a small red jacket over her head. Her chest was puffed out and her ponytail was swinging. She looked like a "witch" no matter how you looked at her.

At this time, Ms. Justice smiled softly and said:

“This is entering a real dream, which is different from a normal dream.

"Using the dream spell makes your body become virtual and you enter the dream directly. Whatever the reality is, it will be the same in the dream. Normal dreaming depends on real-time cognition. The image in the dream may be your current self, your past self, or even a mutated self. In a real dream, if you can stay awake, what will appear is the self-image in your subconscious mind.

"That is to say, the Seven of Wands' subconscious mind still considers itself as a male."

So...Lumian was a little happy and a little disappointed.

Franca blurted out:
"What about me? Why am I still..."

She suddenly closed her mouth, and her whole body seemed to be struck by lightning and lost part of her soul.

Ms. Justice gently soothed:

"Accepting the present does not mean forgetting the past. As long as you remember who you were in the past and what kind of life you had in the past, reconciling with your current body will not make you lose control. The Witch Cult's 'Acting Code' may not be suitable for everyone. It depends on your own personality and experience.

"Remember, everyone is special."

Franca opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. She was still feeling a little depressed and down.

Janna quietly stretched out her right hand and held her palm.

If it were Lumian, who had just arrived in Trier, he would not have mocked Franca for claiming to be a man but unknowingly treating himself as a woman, let alone him now. He took the opportunity to look around the platform.

This is no different from a common steam train station, with a skybridge at high altitude and stairs leading to different platforms.

At this time, at the edge of the overpass, a tall figure was leaning against the railing and looking over here, his black windbreaker was slightly lifted up, and he seemed to be wearing red gloves in his hands.

On the stairs leading to this platform, the lady holding four heads and wearing a gloomy and complicated long dress was looking down openly. On the other hand, in the middle of the stairs of another platform, a little boy with a mercury bow tie was standing. At the end of the stairs, Mr. Azik Eggers, who had just met Lumian not long ago, was holding a top hat and silently gazing at the black steam train.

On the waiting chairs at Mr. Azik Eggers' platform, the "Sword Knight" Maric and the Temperance Demigod Sharon sat facing Lumian and the others, motionless, like puppets hired to act as the audience.

Lumian retracted his gaze and found that the big golden retriever next to Ms. Justice was wearing glasses and carrying a small brown bag. He looked very gentle and bookish.

Lumian suddenly recalled the big dog and the female figure he saw when he finished his first psychological treatment at Mason Cafe.

So that was Ms. Justice... It was a pity that Ms. Susie didn’t participate in this mission to Mr. Fool’s dream, otherwise I could have thanked her in person... Lumian returned his gaze to Ms. Justice and Ms. Magician with regret.

Ms. Justice smiled and said to him:
"Because you have actually become the 'Witch of Despair', and your subconscious mind knows this, you can freely switch between your subconscious self-image and your current true appearance. This may help you to make a perfect disguise in your dreams and play an important role in key scenes."

Why can’t I…Franca wailed silently.

Lumian nodded in understanding:
"You can't disguise well by relying on 'Lies'? Because it can only exert the level of Sequence 7, and the 'Fortune Teller' path corresponding to 'Lies' must be Sequence 6 'Faceless Man' to adjust the appearance and body shape?"

"Yes, Sequence 7 level 'lie' can only modify one's appearance to a certain extent, and the effect is equivalent to the best makeup technique." Ms. Justice nodded slightly, turned her head to the golden retriever beside her and said, "Susie, do you have anything to say to them?"

Susie...Lumian's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly shifted his gaze to the big golden retriever wearing glasses and carrying a small bag.

The big dog made a familiar sound:

"What I need to tell you is that Mr. Fool is very alert and cautious, and doesn't trust others easily."

Hearing the big golden retriever talking, except for Anthony and Ludwig, Lumian and the others all looked stunned and surprised - if the big golden retriever had not been called "Susie", Lumian would definitely not be so shocked that an animal could speak human words.

After a brief silence, Lumian adjusted his mindset and said sincerely:

"Thank you for your reminder and thank you for your previous treatment, Ms. Susie. Thank you, too, Ms. Justice."

We’ve all seen children eating devil’s eyeballs, so what’s so strange about a dog speaking human language?

If they are really from Trier, they might be real people who just like being dogs, so they find ways to turn themselves into dogs!

Lumian immediately said to Ms. Magician and Ms. Justice:

"I have another question. What is Mr. Fool's identity in the dream?"

To awaken Mr. Fool, you must contact him in his dreams!
Ms. Justice and Ms. Magician looked at each other and took out a brown brown paper bag tied with a thin cotton rope:

“It contains information about Mr. Fool’s identity in his dream, but you need to actually enter that dream to open it.

"There's also cash, IDs, and maps for you inside."

Lumian took the brown paper bag and pointed to the iron-black steam train parked next to the platform:
"Ride it?"

"Yes, after you get on the train, I will let it go to the edge of this dream world. You must hold on to your lucky coins tightly. When the train reaches the edge of the dream world, they will help you enter Mr. Fool's dream. It must be so complicated the first time, but after that you can use your lucky coins to enter and exit that dream normally." Miss Justice explained simply.

Lumian looked at Janna, Franka, Anthony, and Ludwig, and nodded to the two Major Arcanas:

"We can get in the car now."

The black steam train was no different from the common types in Trier. Lumian and his four companions occupied two rows of seats on the same side, while the other passengers around them were blurry, just unclear shadows, as if the person who wove this dream was too lazy to make details.

Through the window, they saw Ms. Magician and Ms. Justice waving to them.

As they instinctively waved in response, a high-pitched voice rang in the ears of Lumian and the others:

"Woo!"

Along with the whistle, clanging sounds began to appear, from slow to fast, from soothing to frequent, and the scene outside the car window gradually receded.

The iron-black steam train carrying Lumian, Franca, Janna, Anthony and Ludwig drove out of the platform and headed towards the distance filled with dreamy mist.
