Chapter 928: There is something behind the words
Janna, who was holding Ludwig's hand, deliberately looked at Anderson's face:
"I heard that Mr. Da, who gave us the flyers, is missing. Is there any news now?"
Principal Ai, whose English name is Edwina, looked dim for a moment:
"He was murdered."
"Oh my God, is he really in trouble?" Janna had already rehearsed her own reaction when she inquired about similar matters, and even used the catchphrases that ordinary people in Dream City like to use.
Before she went out, she put on makeup to make herself look less good so as not to become the focus of passers-by's attention.
The dark-skinned receptionist nodded heavily:
"We went to the police station to identify the body. Although he was a bit showy, impulsive and expressive, he was really a very good person. Why would someone murder him?"
"Robbery?" Janna made a guess.
"His cell phone and valuables are all there." Principal Ai denied this possibility. "Let's wait for the police's investigation results. I hope the murderer will be brought to justice soon."
She looked a little sad, and it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about this.
Foreign teacher Anderson said:
"The night before yesterday, before he left, he told me that he wanted to ask me for advice on how to pursue girls. I waited for him until the early morning. I sent him WeChat messages but he didn't reply. I called him but he didn't answer. I thought at the time that he wouldn't have a romantic encounter unless he spent money. But he was very stingy and saved all his money, saying that he wanted to buy a house..."
"You felt something was wrong, so you called the police?" Janna looked as if she had suddenly realized something.
At the same time, she couldn't help but say two things in her mind:
You are clearly talking about sad things, why do I feel like you are mocking the dead?
Is this Anderson Hood, once the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea?
——The information given by the Major Arcana cards mentioned that the principal of the Dream Tutorial School, Ainana, corresponds to the pirate general "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina a few years ago, and the foreign teacher Anderson Hood corresponds to Anderson Hood, the strongest hunter in the Misty Sea in reality. Of course, this title is now controversial, and Louis Berry has many supporters.
Anderson nodded:
"Yes, we must call the police in time. If he really has a problem, the police may be able to save him in time. If he is really just spending money to fool around with women, the police may be able to trap him in bed. Who knows, hey..."
Do you care about the messenger of God, or do you have a grudge against him...Janna couldn't tell for a moment whether Anderson was joking or not.
Besides, this kind of tragedy is not something to make fun of!
Janna asked a few more indirect questions and was roughly certain that Anderson called the police less than an hour after the death of the messenger of God. The police also took it seriously and did not use the excuse that an adult male must be out of contact for 48 hours. They went to look for him near the night snack stand just after midnight.
This is similar to what we speculated. Mr. Fool's subconscious mind should think that this matter is very important, or, in his subconscious mind, God's messenger is very important, so the police, contrary to their usual practice, launched an investigation at the first opportunity... Janna did not talk much about the death of God's messenger. She started paying money and filling out forms, and signed up Ludwig for a weekend enlightenment English class.
She knew that in similar situations, she should avoid talking about other people's sad stories, especially those involving death, unless the other person was willing to talk about it.
After leaving the Dream Tutorial School and walking towards the bus stop, Janna looked at Anthony, who had been silent the whole time and whom Principal Ai, Anderson Hood, and the others seemed to be unaware of:
"Did you observe any unusual details?"
"The key figures of the Dream Tutorial School are basically consistent with the description in the materials, and their attitude towards the death of the messenger of God is also normal." Anthony had a plan in mind, "But I feel that some of Anderson Hood's words just now were a bit too extreme, and there are some hidden subtexts, as if he wants to tell us something..."
Before Anthony finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind:
"I heard you mention my name."
Janna and Anthony turned around at the same time and found that Anderson Hood had walked out of the Dream Tutorial School at some point and was only four or five meters away from them.
Janna thought for two seconds and said deliberately:
"We were talking, and you didn't seem that sad about Mr. Da's death. You even laughed at him."
Anderson smiled, looked around and said:
"Because I feel like everyone around me has become a little weird lately."
"Strange?" Janna asked doubtfully.
Anderson lowered his voice:
"Don't you all suddenly feel this way at some point?
“It’s like the people around you are performing with different scripts, but sometimes they are too forceful or not subtle enough, which makes you realize something is wrong and makes you feel terrified and unreal.
"Before, they all performed well, but recently, the flaws have increased significantly."
This... Anderson Hood has sensed the true nature of this dream city? But he is just an image in the dream, not a projection of a real person. The Major Arcana cards said that the real Anderson Hood has no special items and no special connections, so he cannot enter Mr. Fool's dream...
He was now like a character in a book who discovered that he was just a character in a story...Janna was shocked and found it unbelievable.
Seeing Janna stunned, Anderson laughed:
“You believe it?
"It seems that my story is not bad, and my performance is also good..."
After saying that, Anderson waved his hand and walked towards the convenience store next to him.
Behind him, a group of students who were leaving the Dream Tutorial School came out.
Janna and Anthony looked at each other. Neither of them was angered by Anderson's prank. Instead, they felt that the other party was really hiding something.
This person, who should only be a dream image, seems a little special.
After looking at the students leaving the building where the Dream Tutorial School was located, Janna retracted her gaze and continued walking towards the bus stop.
While waiting for the bus, she curiously asked Ludwig:
"When you saw Principal Ai, you seemed a little scared?"
Ludwig said in a sullen voice:
“She was one of my former teachers.”
Ludwig’s teacher in the Church of Knowledge. No wonder...Jenna suddenly realized.
…………
Inside the rental house.
After listening to Janna and Anthony's stories, Lumian considered for a moment and said:
"We are still in the stage of observing key figures. Don't make further contact with Anderson for now. Once the observation phase is over, find a chance when there are no other teachers or students at the Dream Tutorial School around him to test him."
Franka's thinking ability has returned to normal after she has recovered:
"You suspect that Mr. Fool's registration at the Dream Tutorial School caused problems for some of the teachers and students there. The death of the Messenger of God was a continuation of these problems, not the beginning. Anderson also became suspicious because he discovered a few wrong details?"
"That's a very possible possibility." Lumian stood up and said, "I'm going to cook."
He walked to the kitchen, and Janna naturally came in to assist.
Lumian had already steamed a whole rice cooker full of rice in advance. Now, he put the rice into several large bowls and added spicy sauces such as Lao Gan Ma.
"Ludwig, after you finish eating these, you will be about 70% full, and then you can have dinner with us normally." Lumian said casually to Jenna.
Janna helped carry two bowls of rice and nodded seriously:
"Yes, the food for Ludwig should be divided into two types: food that can fill his stomach and food that can taste delicious. It can't be food that only fills his stomach."
“You still care about him a lot?” Lumian picked up the remaining bowl and said with a smile.
Janna laughed at herself and said:
"I feel a little guilty."
After delivering the rice to Ludwig, Lumian cleaned the rice cooker and steamed another pot for himself and others in quick mode.
"When I have enough money, I'll have to buy a rice cooker..." Lumian muttered as he took out vegetables and meat from the refrigerator.
Janna took it and started washing the vegetables under the tap, and used the "witch's" ability to control ice to thaw the meat.
She washed it and handed it to Lumian, who started cutting with a knife made of frost.
The two chatted idly, occasionally quieting down to listen to how Franca in the living room taught Ludwig to watch cartoons, without slowing down the preparation of dishes.
Jana glanced at the sky outside the window, which was tinged with golden and red, and said:
"I probably won't be going out at night for a while. What are your plans for tomorrow?"
During the observation phase, you must be extremely careful. Since the magic mirror Arrodes indicates that there is a problem at night, don't go out after dark recently.
As Lumian's ice knife cut quickly, he looked down at the increasing amount of shredded meat and said without any hesitation:
"I went to the Star Dream Grocery Store this morning to get the reply from the Major Arcanas, and by the way, I took a look at the police station nearby.
"We will go to observe one of the most important targets in the afternoon."
"Mr. Fool's friend Pengden?" Janna knew who Lumian was talking about.
Peng Deng is a very special person in the Dream City. He is Mr. Fool, Zhou Mingrui's good friend, but there is no corresponding character in reality.
Judging from the logic that the closer a character is to Mr. Fool, the more important he should be, Peng Deng’s identity and status in the real world should be high. However, the Major Arcana cards and other gold coin holders have never found out who he represents or symbolizes.
At the same time, they did not find anything wrong with Peng Deng in the dream.
Lumian nodded and said:
“Based on my experience, a character in such a position must have strong symbolic meaning, but we have not yet found the idea or method to interpret it.
"Mr. Xingxing has become the focus of attention. One of the reasons why he was kicked out of the dream by Tianzun may be that he has a strong connection with Mr. Fool's Angel of Time. He is an expert in decryption. If he really comes into contact with Peng Deng, he might be able to see something."
"Yeah." Janna finished washing all the dishes and shook her hands, letting the water droplets turn into frost and fall.
…………
The next morning, in front of Xingmeng Grocery Store.
Franka followed Lumian in with some fear and anticipation.
The magic mirror Arrodes did cause some psychological trauma to her, but she was also quite curious about the true identity of the brass book and the owner, which was much more expensive than the magic mirror.
PS: I chose the wrong volume, and updated to the previous volume, haha
