Ring of Fate

Chapter 935 Dream Tendency (Thanks to Old Kohler for supporting Valentine Silver Alliance)
Hearing Lumian's words, the muscles and skin of Franka and others involuntarily tensed a little, as if they had seen a terrifying event coming.

Lumian pulled a chair over and sat down, his eyes naturally sweeping across every corner of the room, and he said with a smile on his face:

“I don’t know what it feels like to be kicked out of a dream, the Major Arcana didn’t explain it in detail.

"Is it jumping out of the deep sea, or being kicked into a spiral tunnel with no end in sight..."

He imagined how he would be kicked out of his dream, his tone as casual as if he was describing what breakfast was today.

Franca suddenly felt a little emotional:
"Are all you 'hunters' like this? When you encounter danger, instead of being afraid, you make fun of it?"

“Of course I’m afraid, but what’s the point of being afraid?” Lumian laughed. “No matter how scared I am, I will pretend that it’s no big deal on the surface, and I can’t show weakness in words.”

Franka laughed:
"No wonder some people say that the hardest part of Hunter is his mouth."

Lumian and Janna looked at Franca at the same time without saying anything.

"..." Franca was stunned.

I didn't mean to tell a bad joke!

She quickly added:
"In the dream city, this is called having a thunderous chest but a calm face. You can be promoted to general!"

After Lumian's performance, the team members were no longer so tense.

At this time, Lumian smiled again:

"Kicking us out of the dream is not a big deal, as we still have a chance. What we should be afraid of is that the Heavenly Venerable will restrict us and send his men to kill us in the dream. Then we will have nothing."

Janna asked thoughtfully:
"You mean, if you really encounter an abnormal situation or it's extremely dangerous, you should exit the dream in advance?"

“Pretty smart.” Lumian leaned back in his chair, took out his cell phone, slid his finger across the screen twice and then stopped, not moving for a long time.

Franca took a quick look and found that the screen was displaying the WeChat friend adding interface.

“You want to add Mr. Fool’s QQ and WeChat using your secondary account?” She understood immediately.

Lumian laughed at himself:
“Yes, but if you can’t find a suitable reason, you will definitely be rejected immediately.

"How about I apply using the sentence 'Do you want to know the truth about the world and the secret of supernatural powers?'

"Mr. Fool, well, Zhou Mingrui's current state is that as an ordinary person, he has just drunk the Assassin potion and felt the charm of extraordinary power, but he does not know enough about the mysticism. He urgently needs similar guidance."

Anthony, who also sat down, shook his head:
"If Zhou Mingrui himself found out through some clues that you can teach him real occult knowledge, but it only costs money, then he might add you. However, your active and enthusiastic attempts to guide him will only have the opposite effect."

"Yes." Franca nodded heavily. "They will put you on the blacklist and maybe even call the police. Hello, police officer? There are people here promoting feudal superstitions. They are suspected of being a cult."

Lumian fell into deep thought, muttering to himself:
"Create a mysterious video account, spread your reputation, and wait for Zhou Mingrui to come to you?

"But there is a risk of being exposed to the gaze of the Heavenly Lord. If you are too famous, you will be targeted. If you are not famous enough, Mr. Fool will not know about it, unless, we send a targeted push?"

The corner of Franka's mouth twitched:
This kid integrated into the Dream City and the online society faster than I thought!

She spread her hands and said:

“I don’t have the skills.”

Lumian continued to think:

“Perhaps I can create small occult incidents among Mr. Fool’s friends and colleagues, and then personally solve them. Through word of mouth among friends and relatives, Mr. Fool will know about them.

“This is also a way to test the pattern of Tianzun’s observation. However, we must be prepared that the person responsible for this matter will be discovered and targeted. We can ask him to move out for a period of time in advance and contact us in a more covert way.

"Well, it's feasible. We can give it a try."

Lumian did not immediately assign specific team members to do this, but turned to Franka and said:

"You can submit your and my resume now."

Invested in Intis Group.

"Okay." Franca took out her cell phone.

She had already prepared her resume.

She applied for the administration position and Lumian applied for the security position.

——Among the four, Franka is the only one with a standard academic degree, but her major is far from Zhou Mingrui's, so she cannot apply for the same department and can only choose the administrative department where she can have frequent contact with Zhou Mingrui.

As for the other three, Anthony is a retired veteran, Janna is an art student studying acting, and Lumian is a high school dropout who has learned Kung Fu.

It’s not that Ms. Justice doesn’t want to forge their academic qualifications that can be checked online, but even if they do, they will be exposed during the interview.

They can’t answer professional questions at all, and may not even understand the questions!

It is for this reason that Franka chose to apply for the job herself instead of letting Janna go. In theory, art students who study performing arts are more likely to become administrative staff.

After submitting her resume, Franca looked at Lumian and said with a smile:
"There is good news, can you guess what it is?

"Stop! Your eyes can't change color!"

Lumian pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Won the lottery?"

This is the only good news that can be said in front of Anthony.

"How many did you guess?" Franca was not disappointed that Lumian guessed it right at once.

Lumian couldn't help laughing:

"Ma'am, you bought so many tickets with the same set of numbers, and I've already checked the minimum standard for the second prize of the Double Color Ball. Do you think I can guess how much you won?"

Franca smiled awkwardly and said:
"That's not the point. The point is, didn't you notice anything unusual?
"When we were fighting the resurrected female corpse, the hidden 'Master of Secret Puppetry' had problems and didn't make it out. When we were outside the Star Dream Grocery Store, someone reminded us to be careful of the eavesdropping devices and pinhole cameras on the technology side. And now, we have won more than 20 lottery tickets.

"What do you call this? This is called a mysterious force helping us!"

Jenna, who had discussed the matter with Franca, added:

"We think this is a manifestation of Mr. Fool's inner inclination in the dream, and it has symbolic meaning.

"At present, neither he nor Tianzun has the absolute upper hand. He is stronger during the day, and Tianzun is even more powerful at night, but even at night, he is not completely incapable of doing anything."

Lumian nodded slowly:
"At that time, I just found that the tributary of destiny was special, but I didn't think it would definitely lead to the result of winning the lottery. Perhaps, the 'special' itself is the revelation of destiny."

He actually felt that there was nothing worth correcting in what Franca and Janna said.

“Praise the Fool!” Franka stood up quickly and bowed with her hand on her chest with great sincerity.

She then said:
“Who’s going to claim the prize today?”

She has checked the prize redemption guide online.

Lumian and Janna turned their gazes to Anthony in turn, and so did Franca.

If the three "witches" were to take over, they would have to do more disguises, but Anthony didn't need that.

Anthony nodded calmly:

"I'll go."

By ten o'clock in the morning, when no one in the team had encountered any unusual situation, Lumian went into the second bedroom and began to catch up on his sleep.

Franka drove the gray car, took Janna, Anthony and Ludwig, and followed the navigation to the lottery center of this dream city.

As they drove on, Franka gradually became a little anxious and muttered:

“Why do I encounter red lights at every intersection?”

Janna, who was sitting in the passenger seat, thought for a moment:
"Could this be a manifestation of Tianzun's dream tendency, symbolizing that our actions will not go smoothly?"

Franka calmed down, drove more attentively, and even used her "witch's" spiritual intuition to avoid a car accident or other accidents on the way to the lottery center, which would have been a "Lost on Journey".

Due to factors such as inconvenient traffic lights and traffic jams, they arrived at their destination nearly half an hour later than expected.

Before Franca had the time to hand the lottery ticket to Anthony, she saw a figure jump down from the roof of the lottery center, fall to the ground with a thud, and blood flowed everywhere.

"How can this be possible? I only won the second prize..." Franca was dumbfounded.

Anthony got out of the car on his own initiative, mixed into the crowd and asked what had happened.

Not long after, Anthony returned to the car and told his two companions the rumors he had heard:
"The person who jumped off the building was the person in charge of the lottery center. Fifteen minutes ago, people from the anti-corruption department entered the lottery center."

"In order to prevent me from claiming the second prize, you actually sacrificed the person in charge of the lottery center?" Franca didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

Then, Franca, who was unconvinced, asked Anthony to take the lottery ticket to the lottery center and try to ask about redeeming the prize. As a result, the staff told her that the prize redemption was suspended today and she should come back tomorrow.

In the gray car, after a moment of silence, Franka gritted her teeth and said:
“This is the first time I’ve been so close to the jackpot, but they won’t let me cash it out!

"Bring Lumian with you tomorrow. Maybe we need to influence fate!"

When they returned to the rental house, Lumian was already up.

After Franca recounted her and the others' experiences, she asked with concern:
"Why are you up before noon? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Lumian smiled and said:
"I was woken by the phone call."

"Wow, it's only been a few days since I used the number, and I'm already getting harassing calls?" Franca sighed with familiarity.

Lumian shook his head.
"No, it was a call from Intis Group, asking me to go for an interview tomorrow morning."

"I got an interview call so soon?" Franca blurted out in surprise.

Why haven't I yet?
My resume is obviously much better than Lumian's!

Lumian took out his phone, unlocked the screen, handed it to Franca and said:

“Maybe that’s the reason.”

Franka took it with suspicion, took a closer look, and found that it was a piece of news:
"During a thunderstorm last night, a car was struck by lightning, killing one person and injuring three...

"It is reported that the deceased and the injured are all security personnel of the Intis Group..."
