Ring of Fate

Chapter 973 Linkage (Thanks to An Amanisis's dog Nai for supporting Antigonus' silver treasure chest)
In the dark ward with only a little moonlight shining in, Lumian saw that An Xiaotian, who had been in a vegetative state for more than a year, moved his fingers slightly.

While he was surprised, he was not afraid, but smiled:

It’s good to have mutations, because mutations can reveal more information!

How can I interpret the secret hidden in this matter when nothing has changed?

Lumian leaned against the window, staring at An Xiaotian lying on the hospital bed, waiting for more changes.

An Xiaotian's fingers moved again.

The darkness in the room seemed to deepen.

Lumian's eyes suddenly turned to the door of the ward.

The door opened silently and a nurse wearing a white hat walked in.

Lumian did not "teleport" away immediately, but hid in the shadow created by the curtains.

He saw the nurse busying around the bed with a blank expression, sometimes adjusting the equipment, sometimes changing the infusion bag, but her hands were always empty and there was nothing hanging on the infusion stand.

Through the open door, Lumian noticed that a dozen people had appeared in the dimly lit corridor.

There were nurses pushing empty carts, women walking back and forth in patient gowns, and men moving their arms as they walked. It was as lively as noon.

But it was late at night, they didn't make any sound, and there was no expression on their faces.

Lumian thought for a moment and took the initiative to walk out of the shadows.

The nurse who was busy beside An Xiaotian didn't even look at him, as if he was just a piece of air.

Lumian walked out of the ward neither fast nor slow, standing among the nurses and patients coming and going.

When the man with his arms moving was about to hit him, he naturally walked around him without looking at him the whole time.

Lumian put his hands in his pockets and looked at them, as if he was in a different world from them.

The nurse pushing the empty treatment cart turned around and walked straight towards Lumian.

When the two sides were about to collide, the nurse stopped, opened her mouth, and uttered one word:

"Small……"

Her voice suddenly stopped and she turned away from Lumian with a blank expression.

Behind her was the female patient who was walking. She also came to Lumian and spoke:
"Heart……"

Be careful? Be careful about what? Lumian was refreshed, thinking that this trip was not in vain.

The female patient only said one word and walked around Lumian, and behind her was another nurse.

As soon as the nurse opened her mouth, Lumian suddenly heard a buzzing sound.

The light at the top of the corridor, which had been dimmed, began to flicker, alternating between bright and dark in a rapid manner.

Almost at the same time, Lumian had an uncomfortable feeling of being rejected by the surrounding environment and about to be squeezed out.

He saw the nurse in front of him quickly step back, and the female patient who had just walked around him retreated in front of him and continued to retreat.

Just like that, the scenes and events that Lumian had seen and encountered before were rewinding at a very fast speed, as if he had accidentally pressed the corresponding button when watching the surveillance video.

A strong sense of fear suddenly erupted in Lumian's heart, and even the endurance of the "ascetic monk" was unable to suppress it.

He felt that if he stayed here any longer, he would encounter something very terrifying, and might even be directly targeted by that Heavenly Lord, and would never have the chance to come to the Dream City again!
Without hesitation, he activated the black mark on his right shoulder and disappeared into the corridor of the current ward.

Lumian’s “teleportation” destination was not the rental house in Xinhong Community, but the entrance of Xingmeng Grocery Store.

At this time, the Star Dream Grocery Store was closed, but not far away was the Dream City Police Department, and there were still many rooms with lights on in the corresponding building.

Lumian calmly examined his own feelings and found that his fear was fading quickly, and the uncomfortable feeling of being rejected by his surroundings was gone.

"Is it because of the abnormality in that area, or the attention, that there will be no problem if we leave?

"Those nurses and patients were manipulated by An Xiaotian, who was in a vegetative state, and they wanted to tell me something, but it triggered the changes in my dreams?
"What he wanted to tell me was very important. It actually triggered such a drastic change. He was not given the chance to continue. If Franca went to Zhou Mingrui at night and tried to tell him everything, it would probably be like what happened just now. She would be forced to rewind or kicked out of the dream just after she got started.

"What exactly does An Xiaotian want to remind me...who should I be careful of?"

There were too many things to guess about, and Lumian couldn't find any ideas for a while.

He felt it necessary to "contact" An Xiaotian again, but the prerequisite was to find a way to bypass the restrictions and make the other party say at least two more words.

If the information that An Xiaotian wants to convey is very crucial, Lumian will not be stingy about being kicked out of the dream as many times as necessary. Even if subsequent opportunities will be consumed at once, he is willing to do it.

It’s no big deal that I was completely kicked out, I still have teammates.

As long as I can get the key information, sacrificing myself is worth it.

Trust your teammates!
…………

Late at night, in room 2303 of DeChuang Garden.

Franka was awakened by the sound of her cell phone vibrating.

She picked it up and saw that it was a voice call request from "idiot".

Uh... Franka hasn't answered yet, Lumian has hung up and sent a message.

The reason he did this was that messages and voice call records can be deleted using the "Message Shredder", but the content of voice calls cannot be deleted and could be monitored.

After looking at Janna who had just woken up, Franca carefully read the message from Lumian.

As she watched, Franka's expression changed.

She lowered her voice and said:
"Mr. Huang might have a problem...

"Zarathustra has been trying to contact Zhou Mingrui on the surface, but he is actually using Roselle in the mirror to corrode and influence Mr. Huang... It's so damn insidious!"

Jenna came over and read Lumian's message.

She couldn't help but frown:

"If Mr. Huang stands on the side of Tianzun, things will be troublesome..."

"It's more than just a problem. We have people, money, and influence. How can we survive? Should we take Zhou Mingrui to rent a house near the police station and find a job that Mr. Huang can't influence?" The more Franca thought about it, the more headache she had. "We want to confirm whether Mr. Huang has any abnormality. How can we confirm it? If he suddenly announces that he has undergone a sex change operation, will he be completely controlled by Roselle in the mirror?"

Jana thought for a moment and said:
"If Mr. Huang is really controlled and cannot be rescued, we can sacrifice one person, kill Mr. Huang, and let Huang Beibei become the president of Intis Group."

"Good idea..." Franka's mouth twitched. "If Mr. Huang is really controlled, it means that he is Roselle in the mirror, a Beyonder with the status of an angel. Moreover, he has the help of Zarathustra and the protection of powerful security personnel. It would be difficult for the four of us to assassinate him together, let alone just separating one person to do it..."

At this point, Franka said with a smile:
"Besides, Huang Beibei has two younger brothers, so it may not be her turn to inherit the position of CEO..."

As she spoke, Franca was suddenly stunned.

After she and Janna looked at each other, their eyes lit up and they blurted out:
"Huang Beibei!"

The best person to confirm whether there is anything abnormal with Mr. Huang is Huang Beibei!
If Franca and Janna rely on themselves, unless they sneak in by force and spy secretly, it will depend on luck whether they can meet Mr. Huang, let alone test him.

"How can I contact Huang Beibei and convince her?" Franca's first reaction was to find Luo Shan and ask her if she had Huang Beibei's phone number or WeChat.

As her eyes turned, Franka smiled with a proud look on her face:

"I have an idea!"

"What method?" Janna asked expectantly.

Franka cleared her throat and said:
"It's not Huang Beibei we should be looking for, it's Bernadette.

"We will write to the Major Arcanas tomorrow and ask them to contact the 'Queen of Mystery'. If Bernadette still has a chance to enter the dream, she will naturally handle it. We don't need to persuade or instruct her.

“Dreams and reality, online and offline, can be linked!”

Janna nodded slowly:

"If the 'Mysterious Queen' can no longer come in, we will consider how to contact and 'instruct' Huang Beibei."

"We can work out the plan now." Franca was no longer sleepy.

Janna thought seriously for a few seconds and said:

"This matter is very important. I don't think I can wait until tomorrow to write a letter. I will take the initiative to get out of the dream now and tell the big boss on duty in the villa about Mr. Huang's problem."

Franka pondered for a while and said:
"Okay, it's not that I frequently enter and exit the dream, it's just once in a while, it won't be a problem, it won't affect the number of times I'm kicked out of the dream."

Janna immediately changed her posture to sitting back.

In her current situation, she could not actively escape from the dream by using the rejection of the dream. She could only use meditation to enter a state of empty mind, and then imagine herself jumping from a high place.

Janna suddenly woke up from the feeling of falling without any weight.

She opened her eyes, got out of bed, and checked whether she had returned to reality.

Then she opened the door and went down the stairs.

Guarding them in the living room tonight is Lady Justice, dressed in a white dress with gold trim.

"Is there an emergency?" Ms. Justice stood up and asked.

There was no need for Jenna to emphasize that she was aware of the seriousness of the problem.

Janna nodded and told him about Lumian's guess, Franca's information, and Zarathustra's recent contact with Huang Tao.

Ms. Justice nodded slightly:
"We will contact the 'Mysterious Queen' immediately."

She raised her right hand and quickly sketched a bird in the air.

The little bird was transparent and dreamy. It chirped a few times, then circled and landed on Ms. Justice, sank into her body, and disappeared without a trace.

“This is a dream messenger I have woven. It can reach a specific object with the help of the ocean of collective subconsciousness.” Ms. Justice explained briefly.

She paused and continued:
“Since you’re back to reality, I’ll tell you directly about An Xiaotian.

"At that time, I had been kicked out of the dream once, and I started to prepare for the filming of "The Great Pirates 3". This was not only because I wanted to show the experience of Gehrman Sparrow to Mr. Fool's dream image, trying to awaken his memory and make him wake up, but also to figure out how to realize a sentence that Mr. Fool told us:

"The World wakes up, and the Fool returns."
