Ring of Fate

Chapter 984 Finale
At a table near the stage, Zhou Mingrui had been observing Zarathustra and the unnamed beauty since they appeared on the screen.

While most people were attracted by the woman with blood on her face, confused eyes and strange beauty, he was more concerned about Zarathustra's state and actions.

Of course, during this process, he would still keep an eye on the woman to see her situation and what she would do next.

After only a few seconds, he found that a strange child came out from behind Zarathustra, leading the woman with blood on her face, and walked off the stage to the resting place of the face-changing actors. Zarathustra also had a confused expression on his face, and slowly followed him off the stage and approached the stairs leading to the second floor.

Zhou Mingrui noticed that Zarathustra walked faster and faster, his expression gradually became relaxed, and he showed a bit of joy.

At this moment, he heard a "bang" sound and saw Zarathustra's head exploded like a watermelon falling from a high place to the ground.

As red and white things splashed around, the applause, cheers and voices in the hot pot restaurant disappeared as if a mute button had been pressed.

Everything was frozen or solidified at the present moment, only the fragments of Zarathustra's head mixed with red or white liquids bloomed like fireworks.

thump!
The body of Zarathustra fell not far from the stairs.

"Zarathustra is dead...shot to death..." At this moment, Zhou Mingrui was extremely confused and bewildered, as if a special effects clip from a movie had come into his daily life, a very unreal feeling.

This was the first time in his life that he saw someone being shot.

He is usually confident in public security and feels very safe.

The next second, Zhou Mingrui thought of Li Ming, Luo Fu, and Luo Shan's gang who had been reminding him to be careful of Zarathustra, and Luo Fu who had also eaten hot pot here a few minutes ago and then went to the bathroom.

"What a coincidence! She's not in the lobby...

"It couldn't have been her, right?"

As soon as this thought flashed through Zhou Mingrui's mind, he heard screaming and it felt like the entire hot pot restaurant was in commotion.

People finally reacted.

A bloody gun murder happened right before their eyes!

Some people called the police on the spot, some tried to leave the hot pot restaurant, fearing that there would be more gunfights, and some wiped the stains off their faces with disgust and fear...

"What happened?" Zhou Mingrui suddenly heard Luo Fu's voice.

The beautiful girl, wearing a black sequined T-shirt and black-framed glasses, returned to her original seat.

Roshan stood up quickly, pointed to the place where Zarathustra fell, and said in horror and stammering:
"Dead, dead!

"Zarathustra has been shot!"

Seeing Luo Shan's performance, Zhou Mingrui began to doubt his previous judgment:

Roshan seemed totally unprepared for Zarathustra being shot...

"Ah?" Relying on her tall stature, Franca stood on tiptoe and looked towards the place where the dead person was.

After seeing the corpse with its head exploded, her face gradually turned pale and she hurriedly looked away.

"Is it really Zarathustra?" she asked of Rosanne.

Luo Shan also suspected that it was Luo Fu who did it, because it was Luo Fu who instructed her to invite Zhou Mingrui to eat at this hot pot restaurant and sit close to the stage. And a few minutes before Zarathustra was shot, Luo Fu went to the bathroom and was not at her seat.

But Luo Fu's behavior and the change in her expression made her a little unsure.

Luo Shan nodded solemnly:
"Yes."

She was indeed scared. After becoming an Extraordinary Person, she had only killed monsters in the shaman world and quietly influenced a few people in reality with her paintings. She had never really fought with any human being, let alone killed one of them.

She knew the purpose and goal of Luo Fu and the others, but she didn't expect them to use such drastic measures.

As they spoke, Roxanne leaned towards Franca, wanting to smell her body to see if there was any residual smell of gunpowder reaction, just like what was shown on TV, but she only smelled a pleasant, intoxicating aroma.

Franka's face seemed to turn a little paler, and she murmured to herself:
"How did he die..."

Amid the commotion in the entire hot pot restaurant, Zhou Mingrui withdrew his gaze from Luo Shan and Luo Fu's faces and looked towards the place where the face-changing actors were resting.

He did not forget that along with Zarathustra there was a beautiful and dangerous woman walking off the screen.

In the lounge of the hot pot restaurant.

Lumiana was led by Ludwig to a corner and the curtains were pulled, as if she was going to change her clothes.

The face-changing actors present were all attracted by Lumiana's appearance, temperament and confused eyes, and no one questioned why she came in.

After isolating himself from the gazes around him, Ludwig took out a mirror from his pocket.

Inside the mirror, Janna was already waiting there.

Jenna reached out her hands, grabbed Lumiana and Ludwig, and dragged them into the mirror world.

Lumiana did not resist, she remembered that this was Li Lu's mother.

What puzzled her was that she was obviously Li Lu's mother, so why did Li Lu have a mother? Her memory and consciousness told her that this was the fact.

Snapped!
As the mirror fell to the ground, it ignited a quiet and evil black flame, and then broke into pieces.

Janna, who had traveled to a mirror near DeChuang Garden, began to clean the makeup on herself and Ludwig's faces, and took the "lie" ear clip off Lumiana's ear.

Their action plan this time is divided into three parts:
The first part is an attempted assassination;

The second part is that when the assassination fails, it immediately turns into a siege;

The third part is that if the siege still cannot kill Zarathustra, the enemy will be "brought" to Zhou Mingrui in a way involving mysticism and extraordinary power. This will most likely allow Zarathustra and the person who "brought" Him to be kicked out of the dream on the spot. Then, Franka, who did not appear or participate in the battle before, will seize the opportunity to secretly assassinate the ordinary dream image of Zarathustra, who has no angel status and is not temporarily protected by bodyguards, so that this character will leave the stage and will no longer be used by the real Zarathustra to get close to Huang Tao and obtain money and resources through mergers and reorganizations between companies!
Moreover, this might allow Zaratul to wait for a longer period of time, and wait until he has a new identity before he can enter the Dream City again. Lumian and others will use this window of time to make more attempts.

Because there is a possibility of being exposed to the audience in the end, and there is also the possibility that the plan will fail and Zarathustra will successfully escape, so except for Lumian who can transform into a female body and Franca who only assassinates secretly in the final stage, Janna, Anthony and Ludwig all use "lie" ear clips to adjust their appearance to a certain extent, and their makeup is almost perfect. In addition, they also use Lumian's "secret glasses" to add suggestive power to their disguise, making everyone who sees them believe that this is their true appearance.

——The level of the “Mystery-Seeing Glasses” itself does not exceed Sequence 7, so the mystical effect it creates is not compromised.

Inside the hot pot restaurant, Mr. Huang, who was talking to his daughter on the phone, heard the gunshots and commotion in the hall. He went around to the stairs and looked down.

He had a faint smile on his face, but when he saw Zarathustra's almost headless body, his expression instantly darkened.

He raised the phone from his ear to his face and stared at the call interface that displayed the word "Beibei".

After a few seconds, Mr. Huang put the phone to his ear again and said softly:

"Something happened at the scene. I need to deal with it. I'll call you back later."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Zarathustra's followers rushed past him in fear, panic and anger and surrounded the body.

Edward, the vice president of Intis Group, followed them and approached Mr. Huang, saying in a low voice:
"In addition to Zarathustra, a bodyguard and a negotiator are missing."

Mr. Huang nodded slowly, looked at the chaos in the hall, and sighed:

"Call the police and wait for them to handle it."

…………

As soon as they resumed their normal routine in the Dream City, Janna took Lumiana and Ludwig back to room 2303 of Detron Garden.

She used her "Ice Mirror Spell" once again, and now she only had one last use left.

She then placed Franka's "traveler's bag" on the coffee table.

——Franca entered the women's bathroom under the surveillance of the surveillance cameras. She lurked in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras through the mirror placed on the water tank. After shooting and killing Zarathustra, she immediately drank the healing potion provided by the "Tarot Club" to delay the negative effects of the special effects of the "Gun of Necessity" and let the serious illness break out after being questioned by the police. Of course, before that, her expression would still change to a certain extent.

After doing this, she quickly handed over the "travelers' bag" and all the extraordinary items to Janna, and asked Janna to take them away from the scene to avoid being discovered by the police.

Jenna took out a bottle of healing potion and handed it to the bewildered Lumiana, saying softly:

"Heal the wound first."

Lumiana took the potion, opened the lid with confidence, tilted her head back slightly, and drank it.

Looking at this scene, Janna was actually quite nervous.

She discovered a problem she hadn't anticipated:

Lumian exited the dream in a female state, and the one left behind was Lumiana, while the identity woven by Ms. Justice was Li Ming, a male.

Normally, after an outsider is kicked out of a dream, his remaining image will maintain daily life based on the woven identity and memories that do not involve the supernatural, just like "Luo Fu", but now Lumiana and Li Ming's identities are obviously different, even their genders are different.

This will lead to a conflict between Lumiana's self-perception and her actual identity situation!
Does this count as actively creating a dream loophole? Seeing that Lumiana had recovered rapidly, Janna asked carefully:

"Can you still become a man?"
