Ring of Fate

Chapter 936 New Residence (Thanks to Old Kohler for the reward from Xia Zuo Savio Silver Alliance)
"Fuck, is this such a coincidence?" Franca blurted out after extracting the key content of the news.

Yesterday afternoon, Lumian first came into contact with Mr. Fool’s dream image, Zhou Mingrui. And last night there was a thunderstorm, which caused Intis Group’s security department to lose four people?

Is this a chain change in the dream caused by contact behavior, or is there someone behind the scenes?

"I don't know whether this is a good or bad sign..." Janna, who had just read the news, whispered worriedly.

Lumian was quite calm:
"Whether it's good or bad, becoming an employee of Intis Group and a colleague of Zhou Mingrui is something we have to do. We have to go whether there is a problem or not!"

Because the interview with Intis Group was imminent, Lumian and the others went out to find a real estate agent after lunch to look for a new place to live.

According to the predetermined plan, they will carry out the next actions individually or in teams of two, without interfering with or affecting each other, so as to avoid one person being eliminated and the whole team having to follow.

——During the observation stage, the risk is not great and they can act together, but when it comes to the contact and testing stage, every step may lead to the attention of Tianzun.

This time, Lumian and others chose DeChuang Home, which is three stops away from the current community. This is a community with only five years of history. The facilities in all aspects are still very new, and there are many big brands and internet celebrity-type shops around.

The reason they chose this place was because the information provided by the Major Arcana cards showed that Roshan, an employee of the administrative department of Intis Group and whose real-life counterpart was living here.

She is also a target that needs to be touched and tested.

In the lobby of the community, the marble floor reflecting the sunlight and several groups of gray sofas complement each other, exuding a clean, bright and light luxurious temperament.

"The monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment is two thousand." After watching the real estate agent and the landlord leave, Janna murmured in pain.

This is almost as big as the three-bedroom apartment they rent now.

The rent difference between houses of different locations and years is so huge!
"We have to rent it even if it's expensive!" Franca said through gritting her teeth.

I must cash in that lottery ticket tomorrow!

This is another six thousand dollars in expenses!
——Although the landlord and the real estate agent were both men, Janna did not use "charm" when bargaining, and even relied on "lies" and makeup skills to make herself look a little mediocre. She only used her "instigation" ability to bargain down to two hundred yuan in rent and one month's advance payment.

Lumian nodded slightly, agreeing with Franka's attitude.

In his opinion, as long as it is for the purpose of completing the task and within one's ability, the money should be spent, no matter how painful it is!

With a quick glance, he found a vending machine in the corner of the community lobby, and the beverage bottles inside were very design-conscious.

Remembering the hint in the information, Lumian walked over and saw that apart from a few bottles of drinks on display, the rest of the products were packed in boxes and could only be selected blindly.

He was very familiar with the names of these new beverages:

"Fortune teller, assassin, singer, sleepless one..."

"They are all names of potions..." Franca followed, took a breath, and whispered, "Are they all real?"

She also remembered the "fully automatic vending machine" and "fully automatic wishing machine" recorded in the information.

Lumian looked at the vending machine carefully for a few seconds, then laughed and said:

"The highest is only Sequence 7, and there aren't many types. If there were a 'War Bishop' or 'Immortal Witch', I would spend a few thousand to get this machine."

"I can't digest it even if I have it." Franca took out her cell phone and was about to scan the QR code on the screen.

She said eagerly:

"See what I can pull out."

"According to the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics, you will most likely only be able to draw out the ones related to 'Witch' and 'Hunter'." Jane reminded calmly.

Franka laughed:
"The point is not to draw out something, but to draw out a bottle and find a mouse to experiment on to see if it is a real magic potion."

As she spoke, Franka finished scanning the code and paid five dollars.

Click, a blind box was pushed out and fell into the delivery port.

After Franca took it out and opened it, she found that the bottle was dark black, with some areas protruding, outlining a roaring wolf face:

"The Sleepless One!"

"Eh, from the Night Passage?" Franka was quite surprised, "Not a 'Hunter', nor a 'Witch'?"

She then found the explanation herself:

"My sequence is not high enough, and I don't have divinity, so the aggregation effect doesn't seem to be very good."

After putting the Insomniac drink into the "Traveler's Bag", Franka suddenly laughed:

"In fact, the drink for the insomniac can be made normally. Just add as much caffeine and theophylline as possible!"

The few of them did not linger in the vending machine area. Instead, they walked through the lobby and headed towards Building 5 - the house they rented was there.

Before walking out of the lobby, Lumian's heart moved and he naturally turned back to look at the vending machine.

The corresponding corner is empty.

The machine that dispensed the magic potion drink was gone!

"Sure enough..." He was not surprised at all.

Franca and the others followed his gaze and also felt that the definite ending had finally appeared.

…………

In the evening, Jana, who had settled down in Yude Chuang Garden, sat on a chair in the entrance area of ​​Building 5, patiently waiting for her target to appear.

After an unknown amount of time, she saw the figure she had observed before through the glass on the front door.

Janna stood up very naturally and pushed the hair hanging on her cheek behind her ears.

She paced back and forth until a pretty girl in her twenties, wearing a light green long dress, with dyed brown hair, and carrying a white handbag, walked in.

Jenna "just happened" to turn to a position where she could meet the other person face to face, with a look of surprise on her face, and asked shyly:

"Hello, do you know how to get to the community's activity room?"

The girl in the green dress was Zhou Mingrui's colleague, Luo Shan, an employee of the administrative department of Intis Group. She kindly pointed in a direction:
"Go out from the east gate and it's on the left."

"Thank you." Janna greeted sincerely with a slight smile on her face.

She had removed her previous makeup and used Charm which had been suppressed to the Sequence 7 level.

This smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, and Luo Shan's eyes lit up.

Luo Shan blinked her eyes and showed an appreciative expression:
"You are so beautiful..."

Without waiting for Jana to be modest, Roxanne asked enthusiastically and sincerely:
"Can you be my model?

“I learn painting in my spare time, and I am pretty good at it. I especially like to paint beautiful people and landscapes.

"I'll pay for it!"

Drawing...Jenna's temple throbbed, and unpleasant memories were evoked.

To her, "painter" is a completely terrifying profession.

She once killed herself in the painting world.

Was Roshan in the dream corrupted and influenced by the evil god of the Fantasy Society? Janna shook her head instinctively:

"I'm sorry, I don't have any intention of becoming a model for the time being."

"What a pity! I'm a very good painter. I'll show you my work later, maybe you'll change your mind." Luo Shan took out her phone and asked with a smile, "You've just moved here, right? I've lived here for several years, and I've never met a girl as beautiful as you. Can you add me on WeChat?"

Janna originally considered finding an excuse to add Roshan on WeChat, but she didn’t think of adding it today. It was too fast and seemed wrong!

After considering for a few seconds, she said hesitantly:

“I’m a tenant.”

"What's wrong with being a tenant? I used to be a tenant too." Luo Shan said it was nothing.

"Okay." Janna deliberately made herself appear weak, not very good at rejecting other people's kindness and enthusiasm.

When adding WeChat, she deliberately chose "chat only".

This was to make herself look reluctant to add a stranger and not actively add Luo Shan as a friend.

After walking around the activity room outside the east gate of the community and finding a place to eat a bowl of rice with toppings, Jane discovered that it was already dark.

She returned to her rental apartment on the 23rd floor and closed the door.

She will be here alone today and tomorrow.

After turning on the star-shaped main light, Janna's eyes swept over the gray and orange sofa, the simple and beautiful decorations, the shiny metallic window frames, and the faintly visible bed covered with a light-colored quilt inside the bedroom...

Compared to the three-bedroom, one-living-room house that Lumian and others are currently renting, this one-bedroom, one-living-room house is obviously newer and better decorated. It is simple yet not simplistic.

Janna walked towards the window, her fingers sliding over the white dining table, the side walls covered with cloth-like wallpaper, the artistic table lamp, the long-necked bottle with plastic flowers, and the cold edge of the window, and she cast her eyes outside:
Buildings of varying heights are scattered among the criss-crossing roads. Most of the windows are lit with warm lights, which complement the lights from the cars passing by on the road.

"It's so beautiful..." Janna looked down at the scene and exclaimed sincerely.

She walked back to the sofa area, her steps becoming a little more brisk.

When I have enough money, I will let Lumian, Franca and others rent a house like this!

Janna sat down and calmly waited for any abnormalities that might occur due to contact with Roxanne.

As time passed, she started scrolling through her phone.

She saw someone comment on the movie "Big Pirates 3":
"He had three beautiful female pirates around him, and he had flirted with all of them, but in the end he only took away a stupid boatswain? RNM, give me your money back!"

Seeing this comment, Janna was a little confused for a moment.

She didn't see anything wrong with the plot.

As soon as the scene started, she knew the final result would be like this:

Gehrman Sparrow is the incarnation of Mr. Fool and also his divine messenger. He met up with Mr. Fool's other divine messenger, Danitz, and then left together. Isn't this a very normal and logical development?

Moreover, in reality, Gehrman Sparrow was not with any of the three female pirate generals!
Jenna felt that the flaw in that scene was actually that the messenger of God Danitz did not play the role he should have, like a supporting role among supporting roles.

Next, Janna played with her phone for nearly two hours, and nothing unusual happened.

She checked the time, stood up, and walked to the bathroom, intending to clean herself up.

She had just turned on the bathroom light when she suddenly heard a buzzing sound.

The whole house suddenly fell into darkness.

All lights went out.
