Ring of Fate

Chapter 948 A new "hostel"?
After a while, Janna also climbed through the window to Room 1502 and saw Roshan who was controlled by three methods.

"The invading monsters were repelled again?" Franca asked with concern.

Jane said "hmm":
"There should be another attack near dawn."

She then repeated the key points of what Roshan had said after Franca left that space.

Hearing that becoming a "Shaman" would cause one's spirit to sense another dimension and a higher world, thereby attracting the invasion of various strange creatures, Franka could not help but mutter:
"What kind of demon is this from outer space..."

Janna could understand every word Franca said, but she didn't understand the specific meaning. However, she had long been accustomed to Franca's occasional strange words, especially after arriving in the Dream City. So she didn't ask any further questions and continued to talk about the information she had asked from Roshan.

Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

Janna walked outside the bedroom, but for the sake of caution, she did not approach the door. She took out a mirror and let the scene outside the peephole appear in front of her eyes after two turns.

That's Anthony and Ludwig, with only his head in the picture.

Janna then opened the door, pointed to the bedroom, and said in a low voice:
"The patient is inside."

Anthony drove to DeChuang Garden by himself - after a few days of observation, he had basically learned how to drive.

Then, he "persuaded" the patrolling property to help park the car and swipe the card, pressing the button representing the 15th floor.

As Anthony walked towards the bedroom, Ludwig's eyes fell on the paintings that Roxanne had drawn.

"Can I, can I eat it?" He licked his lips and looked at Janna eagerly.

Jana hadn't seen the child for several days. Seeing that he was still the same, she felt warm in her heart and smiled:

“It’s just a painting.”

"But it also represents a certain truth." When it comes to eating, Ludwig has always been mature.

Janna thought for two seconds and said:

"can."

She felt that these paintings were drawn by Roshan before, and Roshan's condition at that time was unknown, so it was possible that some contamination and clues were left on the paintings. If Anthony went through a lot of hardships to make Roshan's condition better, but the patient saw some of his previous paintings and the problem broke out again, it would be a waste of his companion's efforts.

Having received permission, Ludwig cheered, crumpled up the ones that had not yet been put into the frame and hung up, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Will eating these give you different traits or abilities?" Janna asked curiously.

Ludwig replied vaguely:

“It can be obtained temporarily, but it will only last for a short time, and there is no one to deal with right now.

"The main purpose of eating these is to increase my spiritual limit..."

Jana nodded with understanding, then looked at Ludwig, who was eating with his back to her, and asked lightly:
"How have you been studying these days?"

Ludwig's back suddenly froze for a second.

Bedroom interior.

Anthony had learned the whole situation from Franca, lit the candles and dripped some pure water.

After he had made all the preparations, he signaled to Franka that she could retract the "Cold Blade".

Because Franka had been holding the transparent, almost invisible triangular thorn for too long, her body had lost a lot of temperature and her lips had turned a little pale. Upon hearing this, she quickly put the weapon back into her "traveler's bag".

Of course, she was still a long way from transforming into an undead, and the negative effects of "Cold Blade" were suppressed to Sequence 7 in her dream.

As the "Cold Blade" was retracted, Roshan's eyeballs moved a few times under her eyelids and slowly opened.

She quickly remembered what had happened to her, and her expression quickly twisted into something extremely hideous.

Then, she saw a pair of dark brown eyes, like a deep lake, and saw the gently swaying yellowish candlelight reflected in those eyes.

At the same time, she smelled a soothing fragrance.

Luo Shan suddenly became calm.

Seeing this, Franca clicked on the words she had typed in the memo and enlarged them, showing them to Anthony:
“Don’t try to guide and suppress the contamination contained in the patient’s extraordinary power. It is unrealistic and dangerous for us now to want to eradicate them.

"What you need to do is treat the patient's mental problems, resolve the alienation of personality, or reduce the impact of alienation of personality.

“After that, if the patient relapses, we will still treat them according to the current plan until we find a way or help to completely solve the pollution problem.”

Anthony nodded imperceptibly and began to communicate with Roxanne's mind body.

Franka was waiting by the side, prepared for any unexpected events.

——If there is anything wrong with Anthony’s condition, she will interrupt the treatment immediately.

After Ludwig had finished eating all the paintings in the bedroom, leaving only the painting with the bridge, cliff, abyss, and black forest, Anthony finally completed the treatment, extinguished the candle, led Ludwig out of the bedroom, and left Room 1502.

After more than ten seconds, Luo Shan's long eyelashes began to tremble, and her eyes gradually returned to normal.

She looked at Franca and Janna, her expression still a bit bewildered, and as if she understood everything, she said:

"I seem to have woken up from a long nightmare..."

"We found a professional doctor who has preliminarily cured the problems you had caused by the contamination in the potion drink. Of course, this is only the end of the first course of treatment. We will decide whether there will be more courses depending on the situation." Franka explained vaguely, and retracted her long hair, untying the invisible spider silk.

"I knew you would help me. Even if you couldn't cure me, you would get rid of that demon." Luo Shan's body, mind and soul returned to the youthful and lively state before she drank the "reporter" drink. She smiled and said to Franca, "In fact, I noticed that you seemed to be less real at that time, but I suppressed this feeling and deliberately didn't look at you again, so that she wouldn't notice it."

She? Roshan has begun to call the alienated personality "she"... Well, that alienated personality also calls her that... The situation seems to be more serious than we expected. Fortunately, she was controlled in time and given treatment... Franka nodded thankfully.

Jana asked curiously:

"Can you tell that, uh, Rove became a mirror illusion, relying on the 'reporter's' ability to observe, investigate, and dig out the truth of the world?"

We two didn't know enough about the "painter" path beforehand, and our plan almost failed.

"Yes." Luo Shan nodded quickly, looked at Franca and said, "Your name is Luo Fu? It's so beautiful, better than my name. You are all so beautiful!"

"We both have the surname Luo. Maybe we were from the same family five hundred years ago." Franca joked.

Jana thought for a moment, looked at Luo Shan and said:
"Why do you go out every evening?"

"Sometimes I go find something delicious to treat myself, sometimes I go shopping with friends, sometimes..." At this point, Luo Shan's expression changed slightly, "Sometimes I go to a B&B that's still under renovation and hasn't opened yet. That was the voice's latest request. It said that after the hotel officially opens, it will give me a 'Literature Lover' drink."

Hearing the voice asking for a hotel, Franca and Janna both thought of a term:
"Hostel"!
To the evil god of the Fantasy Society, hostels are very symbolic? This is reflected in the dream as wanting to open a hotel? Franka asked:

"Did you provide the money for the B&B, or did you get it from another source?"

"I paid part of it and used up all my savings. Luckily, I had already bought this house, so the remaining money was not much. However, I have been thinking recently whether I should mortgage the house and take out a loan to open the hotel as soon as possible." As she spoke, Luo Shan looked scared.

Money... Opening a hotel requires money... The one from the Fantasy Society didn't give money directly, but asked the recipients to donate it themselves... In Mr. Fool's dream city, money does have a strong symbolic meaning, and the evil gods have to worry about it... Franka asked thoughtfully:

"You only paid part of it, who paid the rest?"

"They are people similar to me, but I have never met them. Different people go to supervise the decoration of the hotel every day, and they don't meet each other. They are not even on the list of shareholders, and I am not on it either. The ownership of the hotel belongs to a man named Anderson." Luo Shan explained in detail.

"Anderson? Anderson Hood?" Franka and Janna asked in unison.

"How do you know?" Luo Shan asked in surprise.

Franka laughed:
"We know a lot more than you think."

She asked for the name of the bed and breakfast, opened her phone, downloaded a certain search engine, and saw the name Anderson Hood clearly listed in the shareholder column of the "Painted Hotel".

This was too direct and obvious, making Franka feel like the other party was provoking her or showing off a successful prank.

This needs to be told to Lumian, so that he can test Anderson... As it happens, he has never had an excuse to communicate with Anderson, and the "hunter" doesn't send messages... Janna took out her cell phone, wondering whether to contact Lumian now.

She was afraid of waking the other person up. After all, even if she knew about it, she would have to wait until dawn to test it.

After a brief consideration, Janna decided to walk out of the bedroom and used voice input method to inform Lumian about the situation at the Painted B&B.

She couldn't let the softness in her heart hinder the communication of key issues. Perhaps before dawn, she and Franca would be kicked out of the dream!

Luo Shan got out of bed and went to the living room.

She looked around and said:

"Where are my paintings?"

"We've dealt with it all." Janna expressed her previous concerns truthfully.

"Yeah." Luo Shan agreed. She pointed at the remaining painting and said, "Why don't you deal with it? It's the most dangerous!"

Seeing that Franca and Janna were both looking at her, Luo Shan's expression changed and she said:

"It was not drawn by me. Not long after I drank the Reporter potion, I suddenly received this painting. I don't know who sent it. I feel like another me, in my heart, is also in the black forest of this painting!"

"It can't be dealt with using conventional methods." Janna did not hide the truth from Roxanne.

Franka changed the subject thoughtfully:
"And the self-portrait sketch?"

“When you deleted all the photos, it spontaneously combusted, so I knew there was something wrong with you,” Roxanne said, worried and curious.

Franca was eager to try it out. She pointed at the painting with elements such as the black forest, cliffs, and bridges, and asked Roxanne:
"Have you ever tried to take a photo of this painting? Was there anything unusual going on?"

If you can take a photo and the abnormality is not immediately apparent, you can consider using the "Information Shredder" to handle it!
"I can't take pictures. The photos will be blank. I even tried throwing it away, but it mysteriously came back." Luo Shan shook her head.

As expected... Franka was not too surprised by this. She said thoughtfully:

"Can you give us this painting? We have a way to deal with it, but it will have to wait until daytime."
