Ring of Fate

Chapter 911 Hospital (asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month)

Seeing the local man huddled against a green tree, shouting in near collapse, Franca seriously considered whether she should help call the police.

Lumian pondered for a few seconds and winked at Anthony.

Anthony immediately walked into the shadowy area and used "Calm" on the target.

The local man in his forties finally calmed down, as if he had escaped from a nightmare that had tormented him for a long time.

Lumian moved closer and asked meaningfully:

"what's going on?"

Not long after the bizarre death of the god's messenger Danitz, he encountered a man with a mental breakdown. He intuitively thought that this should be no simple matter either, and perhaps it contained some crucial information.

The man raised his head and looked at Lumian and the others.

He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Franca and Janna. His expression suddenly twisted and he shouted in extreme fear:
"Female ghost! There is a female ghost!"

The sound was so sharp and full of fear that the security guard at the gate of the old community noticed the movement and came over with a flashlight to check.

Lumian quickly threw out the mirror and created his own "mirror maze".

Franca glanced at him and saw that he reacted in time, so she took her right hand back from her pocket.

At the same time, Franka muttered to herself:

"How do I look like a ghost?

"How are Janna and I like female ghosts?"

The security guard came over with a bright flashlight, circled the tree twice, and said with a puzzled look on his face:

"The sound is clearly coming from here, why can't I see anyone..."

He listened carefully again and felt that the voice calling "female ghost" became somewhat distant and he could not tell where it came from.

The security guard shuddered violently.

Are there really female ghosts?
He decided not to bother with the matter anymore and just help call the police.

As soon as he had a new idea, he ran to the security room at the door.

Although the "Mirror Maze" was only at the level of Sequence 7, the current dark and deserted environment allowed Lumian to successfully deceive the security guard.

He asked Franca and Janna to retreat to the edge of the "mirror maze" so as not to be seen by the collapsed man, and signaled Anthony to "comfort" them again.

The local man who had suffered a mental breakdown recovered once again. Anthony asked gently and calmly:

"What happened? Maybe I can help you."

For some reason, the man felt that Anthony in front of him was very trustworthy and made him feel very relieved. He took a breath and said:
"I, I encountered a zombie!"

"Zombie?" Lumian could probably understand that this was a kind of undead creature, perhaps a unique name for a zombie in this dream world.

The man was silent for a few seconds, looked at Anthony, and received an affirmative nod from him.

He summoned up his courage and stammered:

"I, I'm a nurse in the hospital, and I was just responsible for sending a body to the morgue.

"The body was so beautiful, too beautiful to be true. Her ears were a little small, very cute, and charming, just like the expensive jewelry in the gold shop. She hadn't put on any clothes yet. I couldn't stand it, so I asked my coworkers to leave first, then I climbed up, bit her ears, and fucked her for a long time."

Hearing this, Franka couldn't help but raise her right hand and cover half of her face:
It’s a disgrace to the motherland!

Perverts are everywhere, it depends on the specific proportion!

"That feeling doesn't feel like a dead person at all..." the man muttered, as if he was still savoring the memory.

Gradually, his eyes popped out:

“As soon as I pulled up my pants, her eyes, the corpse’s eyes, opened!
“Open it!
"Female ghost! There is a female ghost!"

Lumian listened attentively, then turned his head and said to Franka and Janna:

"The corpse has such great charm, could it be a 'witch'?"

"It's possible." Franca nodded.

Jana then proposed another possibility:
"Perhaps the corpse of a 'sex addict' or a 'cupo suspensor' would do the same."

She was extremely impressed with the "Scrooge" approach.

Lumian glanced outside the "Mirror Maze" and saw that there was no sign of the police for the time being, so he asked Anthony to calm the caregiver again, and then used the "dream divination" method to draw a sketch.

The woman in the sketch was obviously not a local, but more like someone from the Northern Continent. She had a bright face but a holy temperament, and didn't look like a corpse at all.

In addition, it can be seen that the nurse was most impressed by the small and delicate ears and slender and beautiful neck of the female corpse, and was filled with strong desire.

"It does look a bit like a 'witch'." Standing on the edge of the "Mirror Maze", Franka has extensive experience in identifying "witches".

Lumian thought about it for a moment and asked the male nurse:
"Which hospital do you work in?"

The male nurse did not hide the truth from Anthony:

"I live nearby, but I work at Mushu Hospital."

"Mushu Hospital..." Franca's eyelids twitched.

"What's wrong?" Lumian, Janna and Anthony didn't understand why Franca reacted like that.

The name of the hospital is very normal. Doesn’t it mean looking at the dawn in the distance?

Franka organized her words and said:
"This is one of those times where you understand the meaning of a word, but you don't really grasp what it represents.

"In my native language, 'Mushu' and 'Mushu' are similar in pronunciation, and you should know clearly what 'Mushu' means."

Without waiting for Lumian and the others to respond, Franka said in a deep voice:
"'The Mother Tree of Desire'!"

“Can the ‘Mother Tree of Desire’ also penetrate its power into this dream a little bit?” Lumian frowned slightly.

The “mother tree” has appeared, is the “mother” far away?

Janna obviously thought about this as well. She was silent for a few seconds before saying:
"The possibility that it was the body of 'Little Cupid' has increased..."

Lumian asked Anthony to ask the male nurse what happened in Mushu Hospital, but he didn't get any useful answer.

They did not waste any more time. Anthony used "hypnosis" to make the male caregiver forget the comfort and questions he had just given him, and walk out of the "mirror maze" and to another street.

After solving the "Mirror Maze", Lumian looked at the nurse's back and said thoughtfully:

"There must be something wrong with that body, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have any problems, nor does it mean everything else at Mushu Hospital is normal."

Jana agrees:
"That strong desire to even attack female corpses is very similar to being contaminated by a 'sex addict'.

"Of course, it is also possible that he was so enchanted by the female corpse that he could not control himself."

As they walked into the residential area where they rented a house, they discussed what had just happened.

Franka suddenly sighed:

"We've only been here for half a day and we've already encountered two strange incidents that weren't mentioned in the documentation. Shouldn't they have mentioned that?"

“No.” Lumian replied affirmatively.

He then smiled and said:
"Perhaps this is the value of the two paths of 'Disaster'.

"When I jump back to the 'Hunter' path, it can be considered an incomplete version of the humanoid corpse oil candle. Maybe I can complete the corresponding secret ceremony without relying on anything.

"Well, my spiritual intuition tells me that maybe it won't be long before we encounter the resurrected female corpse."

"Then we have to take turns on night duty starting tonight," Franka said immediately.

If you die in a dream, you will really die!

"It's indeed worth being so vigilant." Lumian nodded approvingly. "Tomorrow morning, we will go to the outside of Mr. Fool's company and observe secretly to identify him first."

…………

Late at night, in the master bedroom.

Janna suddenly woke up and saw Franca holding the thin blanket she took out of her "traveler's bag", leaning against the head of the bed, sitting in the dark, as if she had turned into a statue.

"What are you thinking about?" Janna sat up slowly and asked carefully.

Franka stared at the wall opposite that was "painted" with darkness, and replied in a dreamlike voice:
“Why did Mr. Fool name his secret doll town Utopia…”

"Is there anything wrong with this name?" Janna didn't quite understand what Franca cared about.

Franka was silent for a few seconds and said:
“That’s a term used in the world before I traveled through time. It means a non-existent country, a fantasy country… Why would Mr. Fool use…”

Janna probably understood Franca's thoughts, and she said in a gentle voice:
“The Major Arcana cards mentioned in the data that Mr. Fool has been collecting Emperor Roselle’s diaries. Maybe this term just happened to appear in one of the diaries. Maybe Mr. Fool learned about this term during his long-term confrontation with the Celestial Lord. Maybe, well, didn’t you say that the Ancient Sun God might also be a time traveler? Why can’t Mr. Fool be one?”

"I just doubt it. The more I think about the origins of Mr. Fool and the experiences of his incarnations mentioned in the documents, the more I doubt it..." Franka's voice became so low that it lost its weight.

"Don't doubt it, verify it." Janna comforted Franca in her own way. "After you wake up Mr. Fool, ask him this question. Regardless of whether he is a time traveler or not, he must know the secret of your time travel after fighting against Tianzun for so many years. He may even be able to help you go back. Now, don't think too much and focus on waking up Mr. Fool."

Franka exhaled slowly and said:
“Yes, it’s useless to think more now, there is no way to confirm it for the time being.

"Well... For me, awakening Mr. Fool is no longer just a task of the Tarot Club, nor is it just something that must be done to survive the apocalypse..."

After chatting for a while, Franka lay down again, smelling Janna's scent, and fell into a deep sleep, exhausted both physically and mentally.

After Franca fell asleep completely, Janna got up carefully, opened the door of the master bedroom, and walked into the living room of the part-time restaurant.

Lumian, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, was sitting at the wooden dining table, staring out the window in the direction of the shoe cabinet, lost in thought.

"It's my turn to be on duty. You can go to rest." Janna said with a smile.

Lumian retracted his gaze and stood up:

"What were you and Franka talking about just now?"

Jenna highlighted the key points of Franca's suspicion and her comfort. Lumian nodded slightly and said:

“Yes, give her a goal, so that she will be motivated to do it and not think too much about it for the time being.

"When it's daybreak, I'll find a chance to consult Anthony again to see if there's anything else I need to do."

Janna cast her eyes towards the window in the direction of the shoe cabinet and asked curiously:
"What were you thinking about just now?"

Lumian looked over there and what came into view was the scene inside the community. At this moment, only two or three households in each building had lights still on, and the rest were in darkness.

Lumian's thoughts seemed to drift away again, and he replied in a low voice:

"I wonder if Aurore used to live in a city like this..."
