Ring of Fate

Chapter 913 First meeting
Although Lumian was already a demigod when it came to observing this matter, his abilities in all aspects were suppressed to the level of Sequence 7. He felt that he was not as professional as the "spectators", so he gave the position in the back row near the target building to Anthony, and relied on the eagle-like vision brought by the "witch" and the sensitivity of the "hunter" to visual clues to observe from a distance.

Franka, the driver in the front seat, finally completed parallel parking. She leaned her elbow on the door, staring at the target area, and was secretly proud of herself. Janna turned around, leaned forward, and squeezed her head above Franka's shoulder, also watching intently.

As time passed, Franka suddenly smelled the aroma of meat marinated with spices until it was soft and tender.

She turned her head and found that in the corner of the back row, Ludwig was silently eating a roujiamo by himself.

"It's been less than two hours since breakfast, right?" Franca asked.

Why are you eating again?

Lumian simply replied:

"Not yet."

"I figured that he also eats about the same frequency and amount in real life..." Franka murmured.

She had no intuitive understanding of how much Ludwig could eat before, and only had the concept of money. But a few days before she entered the dream, she often helped Janna supervise Ludwig to do his homework and papers. The two "witches" saw what a glutton was, and were deeply impressed by it.

Franka continued:
“In the dream, aren’t all special abilities limited to the Sequence 7 level? I don’t see him eating less…”

Hearing this, Lumian, Janna and Anthony looked towards Ludwig.

Ludwig quickly stuffed all the meat bun in his hand into his mouth and said vaguely:
“Because it’s delicious!”

“You’d rather eat even if you’re full?” Lumian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Ludwig nodded heavily.

Seeing Ludwig like this, Jana couldn't help but laugh:
“It’s really delicious.”

Lumian thought about it and decided to indulge Ludwig for two days, since he himself was eating more than usual.

"It's delicious, right?" Franca was proud again. "What I can't understand is that none of you had diarrhea. Janna and Anthony even complained about how spicy it was while eating!"

"My stomach and intestines have been burned by flames, and the 'Ascetic' has a strong resistance to extreme environments." Lumian said that spicy food would not bother him, a "hunter" who likes to hurt himself.

"Swallowing a ball of fire" is an exaggeration for others, but for him it is an objective description of an occasional occurrence.

Anthony continued to observe the entrance and exit of the building and said calmly:
"The mythical creature form of 'The Audience' is the Psychic Dragon."

Although his fighting ability has not improved much, his physical strength has been significantly improved.

Just as Jenna was about to describe her feelings, Anthony and Lumian said in unison:

"Mr. Fool is here."

Janna quickly changed back to her previous posture and cast her eyes out of the car window covered with a dark film.

She saw a young man wearing a black short-sleeved polo shirt, light-colored casual trousers and a pair of brown sneakers. He was holding a cup of soy milk and carrying a bag of buns. He walked up the stairs and into the building.

The man had short black hair that had been simply combed, and his dark brown eyes were blocked by a pair of plain glasses without prescription. Compared to the portrait in the file, his face was much thinner, with soft contours, and he actually looked quite handsome.

He is exactly the target of Lumian and others, the dream image of Mr. Fool, Zhou Mingrui!

When Zhou Mingrui disappeared in the lobby of the building, Franca took a breath and said:

"Compared to the original sketch, Mr. Fool has become much thinner and better looking...

"Could it be that the speculation of the Major Arcana cards is correct, and he was misled by the Celestial Lord into drinking the 'Assassin' potion?
"The Lord wants to use the method of changing gender to cause Mr. Fool to have cognitive problems, so as to achieve victory?"

The Major Arcana cards mentioned in the information that one of the most important goals of Team Lumian is to prevent Zhou Mingrui, who is suspected of having drunk the "Assassin" potion, from really becoming a "witch"!
"Can the 'Assassin' potion also improve one's appearance?" Lumian asked Franca and Janna.

He jumped from the "Hunter" path to the "Witch" path, and did not experience the "Assassin" sequence in detail.

"It's mainly to adjust the body shape, making the user more suitable to be an assassin. This will cause some changes in appearance, but it's very rare." Franka recalled, "Mr. Fool, uh, Zhou Mingrui should have succeeded in losing weight passively. The main reason for his better looks is because of the weight loss, followed by the slight improvement of the Assassin potion."

She thought it would be better to call the target Zhou Mingrui for the time being. She was frightened by the name "Mr. Fool" all the time and dared not discuss it.

Lumian nodded and asked Anthony:

"Did you find anything?"

Anthony said:
"Mr. Fool's steps on the stairs were very light, which fits the description of the Assassin potion...

"Mr. Fool wears plain glasses to cover his eyes, which are no longer nearsighted. This shows that he does not want to change his life in the short term and will continue to work...

"Mr. Fool is in good spirits, and he probably hasn't encountered any major incidents yet...

"It is unclear whether he drank the 'Instigator' potion..."

After listening to Anthony's observations, Lumian said thoughtfully:

"Continue to observe and record the people mentioned in the file and those who show certain abnormalities..."

"Okay." Jana responded first, then pointed to the opposite side, "That's Luo Shan. In reality, she's a civilian employee of the Church of Evernight. She's married and has children. In the dream, she's Zhou Mingrui's colleague. It's not certain if there's anything wrong with her..."

Franka then said:

"The man who was wearing a white tuxedo and a bow tie in a temperature of over 30 degrees Celsius and had long silver hair is Vice President Wu of the company next door to Zhou Mingrui. He is suspected to be..."

Having said that, Franca turned her head to glance at Lumian and found that her companion had a calm expression and his eyes did not change much.

She then continued:
"It is suspected that Ouroboros, the 'Angel of Destiny' of the 'Aurora Society', was the king in ancient times."

According to the information, the company next to Mr. Fool should be the reflection of the Aurora Society in the dream.

It was not until ten o'clock in the morning that Lumian and others finished the first round of observation. They matched many people with the information in the data, but did not find any real suspects.

"Emperor Roselle, uh, Mr. Huang didn't come." Franca said with regret.

The image of Emperor Roselle in the dream is the boss of the "Intis Group" where Mr. "The Fool" works, a business tycoon, and a domineering president.

Without waiting for Lumian's response, Franca laughed to herself:
"She should still be in the bed of some actor, anchor or singer."

Lumian also felt a little regretful, but there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Although he has never been to college, he is preparing to apply for a security guard position at Intis Group.

"Then let's go buy clothes now." Lumian looked down at his shirt and trousers, which were still normal, and then at Janna's blue waisted long skirt with a classical charm.

At this time, Ludwig asked the question:

"What to eat for lunch?"

Franka, who is currently responsible for the entire team's income, immediately said:

“How can you eat out every day?

"Let's go to a large supermarket and buy a few dozen kilograms of noodles and some side dishes. I'll cook noodles for you and make sure you're full!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Franca saw that Ludwig's face had lost its smile and expectation, and he looked a little aggrieved.

Not only did she not feel distressed or guilty, but she quietly patted her thigh:
Damn, those two sentences should have been said by Janna! What a great opportunity to digest the "pain" potion!

After confirming the itinerary, Franka drove the car carefully and drove onto the wide road.

…………

Inside a large shopping mall.

Lumian and the others, now dressed in new clothes, took the elevator from the underground parking lot to the first floor.

Franca looked at Janna again, and felt that the simple combination of a white patterned T-shirt, light blue jeans, white sneakers and socks of the same color that covered the ankles gave her a fresh and clean look. She retained the youthful aura of a student, but also had a bit of natural charm in her glance, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

She was my type before, no, I still like her now! And Janna looks different with heavy makeup... Franca didn't hide her admiration.

Her tall stature and elegant appearance made her wear an ordinary black T-shirt and women's wide-leg pants in a mature and confident manner, so many people only dared to take a sneak peek at her.

Lumian still wore a shirt and black pants, but it looked more casual and relaxed. Walking with the two "witches", he looked like a painting.

The clothes they were wearing were very cheap. Franca gave up the ones sold by weight and chose the ten-yuan ones and bought a bunch of them.

Lumian's eyes swept across every corner of the mall, and he felt that it was spacious, bright, and clean, even more shocking than the most luxurious department stores in Trier.

Franca had no intention of taking Lumian, Janna, Anthony and Ludwig shopping here, so she went straight to the escalator to the underground floor and planned to enter the supermarket.

Money must be spent sparingly!
As soon as Lumian, Janna and Anthony arrived at the entrance of the supermarket, they were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods, the artistic display, and the soft yet bright light.

Franca was suddenly stunned for a moment, and instinctively turned her head to look at Ludwig, and found that the little boy's gaze was fixed on her, with a burning look in his eyes.

"Let's go back!" Franca blurted out, "I'll buy the things online and have them deliver them!"

In a place like a supermarket, children simply can’t control themselves!

Hearing Franka's words, Ludwig's expression fell.

After finding out the reason, Lumian and Janna both agreed with Franka's decision.

Turning around and taking a few steps, Lumian suddenly caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eye.

The figure lowered his head slightly, with his black hair hanging down, and the faintly visible ears were small and delicate.

She quickly disappeared into the depths of the supermarket.

Lumian paused and said to Franca, Janna and Anthony in a deep voice:

"I may have seen the resurrected female corpse."
