Ring of Fate

Chapter 985 Exploiting loopholes (Thanks to Daxunxun for rewarding the Silver Alliance)
Lumiana looked at Janna with her now completely normal eye and said doubtfully:

"What becomes male?"

The eye that had been blinded before was also suppressed to Sequence 7 due to the effect of the healing potion. It recovered slowly and she still couldn't see clearly.

Sure enough, I can't, I don't know...Janna's thoughts raced, and she forced herself to find a reason:
"Have you forgotten that you like to dress like a man in men's clothes?"

Lumiana looked down at her clothes and accepted Jenna's words:

“Yes, I still like it now.”

She believed it...did she accept this character setting? Janna vaguely grasped the current loophole and said tentatively:

"You seem to have been hit a bit, and you're confused. Have you even forgotten that we are a couple and we are raising Li Lu together?"

“Uh…” Lumiana was stunned for a moment, “No wonder he calls me mother and you mom. I remember now, this is it!”

Did you remember it now? The corners of Jana's mouth twitched slightly.

Lumiana's reaction and changes also proved her conjecture:
Affected by the conflict between Lumiana's real gender and background identity, a loophole appeared in the dream. Before the loophole is filled, what kind of character background story Lumiana is instilled with will determine what kind of person she will become!

Of course, this cannot involve the supernatural, nor can it conflict with actual character relationships - Lumiana clearly remembers the people around her.

Thinking that she brought Lumiana and Ludwig back through the mirror world, Janna felt a headache, wondering what kind of changes such details would bring.

She thought for a few seconds and decided not to mention the mirror world and why Lumiana was injured for the time being. She would wait until Lumiana brought it up herself before thinking of an explanation.

She pointed to the bedroom and said:
"You look very tired and you haven't fully recovered from your illness. Let me help you go in and rest."

Lumiana nodded slightly.

Jana immediately helped her up and said to Ludwig:

"You did a good job today. You can rest for a while and study. The food is in the bag."

"Okay." Ludwig was waiting for this sentence.

He reached out and took Janna's "traveler's bag".

After arranging Ludwig and letting Lumianna lie on the bed and covering her with the air-conditioned quilt, Janna went into the bathroom to wet a towel and wipe Lumianna's face, which still had blood stains on it.

As soon as she wet the towel, she saw Anthony's figure appear in the wash mirror.

Janna heaved a sigh of relief and turned on the faucet.
“I was just planning to go look for you after I’ve settled Lumiana and the others.

"Are you OK?"

She used the name Lumiana in order to tell Anthony what happened next as quickly as possible.

Anthony asked again as if to confirm:
"Where is Zarathustra?"

"The third part of the plan was successfully executed." Janna answered concisely.

Anthony then told his story:

"I was transferred to a prison that had obvious precautions against 'Mirror Travel'. I 'hypnotized' my 'cellmate' to make him feel uncomfortable. After shouting for help, I used 'psychological invisibility' to sneak out of the cell and came to the prison guard's office area. Only then did I successfully use the mirror I was carrying and the 'Ice Mirror Amulet' to escape from there.

"After I returned to the mirror world corresponding to the hot pot restaurant, I found that you had already left, so I came to check with you. There are already police there, and the area behind the mirror may not be safe."

"You can clean off the makeup on your face and return to your original appearance." Jenna said as she threw the "lie" ear clip into the mirror. "I have used mirror magic to do a reverse divination, and the 'Queen of Mystery' will also help with the aftermath. Don't worry, go back and rest. I'll leave Ludwig here for now."

"Okay." Anthony took advantage of the power of the "Ice Mirror Amulet" and, wearing the "Lie" ear clip, traveled back to the rental house in Xinhong Community.

His "Ice Mirror Amulet" can only be used once more.

Jenna breathed a sigh of relief, wrung out the towel, walked out of the bathroom, entered the bedroom, and began to wipe Lumiana's face.

On the way, she also took a look at how much Ludwig had eaten.

…………

Inside the hot pot restaurant, police set up a cordon to separate the body from the surrounding area.

Franka looked frightened as she, along with Roxanne and Zhou Mingrui, were questioned by a policeman named Lien.

She said fearfully:

"We didn't eat very fast, we were waiting for the next show, then I went to the bathroom, and when I came back I found a dead person!"

"You weren't in the hall when the incident happened?" Li En asked.

"Yes, I'm in the bathroom." Franka explained.

Li En made note of this and decided to check with his colleagues who were watching the surveillance video to confirm whether the woman named Luo Fu had entered the women's restroom and how long she had stayed there.

He then looked at Zhou Mingrui:

"You saw the dead man and a woman walk out of the screen?"

"Yes." Zhou Mingrui glanced at Luo Fu.

He listened in for a while and observed for a long time, and he felt more and more that Luo Fu was not the murderer.

Or, is her acting so good that I can't see any clues at all? Zhou Mingrui muttered, and added:

"I thought it was a magic show at the time, but now that I think about it, there was something wrong. There was blood on the woman's face..."

Li En asked for a while, then walked to Officer Dunn and repeated the key points of what he had just asked.

Dunn had a pipe, which he did not smoke in public, but only sniffed, to stimulate his nerves and make them active.

"Captain, we've found something." At this time, another policeman came over and said to Dunn.

His job was to find the beautiful woman who appeared on the screen.

Dunn nodded and followed the police officer to the back of the hot pot restaurant and into the room where the face-changing actors rested.

The actors were a little scared and huddled in a corner, watching the police coming and going.

"This is where the target was last seen." The policeman who led Dunn in pulled aside the curtain and pointed to the changing area.

Dunn glanced around and his eyes fell on the broken mirror on the ground.

…………

Trier, in that luxurious villa.

Lumian opened his eyes and found that one of them could no longer sense light, and the other was stained with a faint blood color.

All the joints in his body were aching, his thoughts were stuck from time to time, and his mood was obviously not right - he had clearly achieved his goal, but he still felt depressed and wanted to self-destruct and tear it all apart.

This is the pollution brought by the mythical creature form of Zarathustra, which will affect reality and the resulting harm.

Lumian stood up slowly, confirmed the existence of the "Traveler's Bag" and the extraordinary items, stumbled out of the room and went down the stairs.

He didn't drink the healing potion directly because he was mainly contaminated, not injured.

When Lumian arrived at the living room on the first floor, the "magician" lady in a yellow and white dress was already waiting there.

Stars suddenly appeared in the eyes of the "Magician" lady, and an illusory book appeared, and she instantly turned to a certain page.

Along with the ethereal sound, a little bit of rain fell, sprinkling on Lumian, washing away his blood without wetting his clothes.

Lumian's blind eyes gradually regained their sight, and the discomfort in his body also quickly dissipated.

"The best way to deal with your current situation is to ask Mr. Sun to come and purify you, but you have too many things that need to be purified, and your status is also high, so that may be more disadvantageous to you." Ms. Magician said with a smile, "Now, there must be some pollution in your mind and soul. Ms. Justice will come and give you a targeted treatment later. Fortunately, the pollution in the dream has also been suppressed to Sequence 7. As long as you don't encounter a Celestial Sovereign, it won't be a big problem."

Lumian tucked his drooping black hair behind his ears and briefly recounted the actions he and his companions had taken against Zarathustra and the help provided by the "Mysterious Queen".

During the process, the "magician" lady asked him to sit on the single sofa.

“I don’t know whether Franka killed the dream image of Zarathustra in the end, but it shouldn’t be a big problem. At that time, Zarathustra’s bodyguards were all in the box on the second floor, and the demigod from the ‘Fortune Teller’ path stayed in the hotel. Even if Mr. ‘Fool’ subconsciously believes that Zarathustra is also a person with extraordinary abilities, he is just an ordinary Sequence 7. He has no special abilities, nor does he have the status of an angel.” Lumian said finally.

Ms. Magician said:

“Divining Mr. Fool’s dream is subject to great restrictions and is very dangerous. I am not sure whether the Second of the Holy Grail was successful. Well, wait for Miss Justice to come and ask her. She can rely on the ability of the Dream Weaver to spy on some details of the dream.

"What you need to pay attention to now is that what you did is a strong stimulus to Zhou Mingrui. No one knows what changes will happen in the dream next."

Lumian nodded and said thoughtfully:

"This time, our biggest gain was not kicking Zarathustra out of the dream, and most likely killing his corresponding dream image, but verifying one thing."

When the Magician looked at him, Lumian spoke slowly:

“As long as we do something that deeply involves the extraordinary and makes Zhou Mingrui feel dangerous, whether it’s Tianzun’s men or us, we will be kicked out of the dream and quickly turned into secret puppets.

"At this point, no matter what position people are in, they are treated the same."

…………

Due to the shooting, Zhou Mingrui, Franca and Luo Shan could no longer continue to eat hot pot.

Because many dishes were still untouched, Luo Shan was hesitant about how to pay the bill and how much to pay.

At this time, the manager of the hot pot restaurant came over and took the initiative to say to them:
"No need to pay, no need to pay. Mr. Huang from Intis Group said he will pay for everything. He said it was their client's fault that everyone didn't eat well, so he will pay for it."

"Mr. Huang is still as generous as ever." Zhou Mingrui sighed.

Roshan agrees wholeheartedly.

Seeing that Luo Fu was not in good condition, Zhou Mingrui did not suggest going to another place to eat, but politely sent the two ladies to the online car-hailing service.

Franka held on until she returned to DeChuang Garden and entered the elevator, then she suddenly became weak and leaned against Rosanne.

"What's wrong?" Luo Shan asked in surprise.

"I seem to be a little sick... Why is it so sudden..." Franca herself was confused.

Luo Shan did not get off the elevator at the 15th floor, but helped Franca to the 23rd floor.

After seeing the door to Room 2303, Franka suddenly "woke up":
The illness was caused by using the "inevitable death" effect of the "Gun of Inevitability"!
It was I who killed Zarathustra...
