Ring of Fate

Chapter 988

Hearing Luo Shan's question, Janna was stunned:
Why are you suddenly asking such a question?
Why did she suddenly feel that this was a dream?
How did she know that? Who told her?
After Janna came to her senses, she carefully asked back:
"What dream?"

Luo Shan looked at her for several seconds:
"'Reporter' has the ability to observe reality and different scenes within a certain area, but it can't last too long. I've been using it a lot lately to determine if there's anyone hiding in the house or if there's a trap.

"After I came back at night, I used it once and saw you and Luo Fu communicating. I heard Luo Fu asking about being kicked out of the dream."

It could be like this... So this is the true observation... Janna's first reaction was "Don't worry, I'll make up a reason for you on the spot", but after seeing Luo Shan's eyes filled with deep sadness, confusion and pain, she closed her mouth and remained silent.

Luo Shan slowed down and said:

“So, the last time Luo Fu became like a different person, it was because the consciousness from outside the dream was kicked out?

"So... this is really a dream?"

Janna was silent for several seconds, and her tone became low:
"This is Zhou Mingrui's dream."

Luo Shan opened her mouth, but no words came out, and her expression gradually became empty.

Jana continued:
"Some people want Zhou Mingrui to continue sleeping until the end of the world, while others want to wake him up and let him lead everyone to fight against the end of the world."

While saying this, Janna felt sorry for Roxanne and concentrated her mind highly, waiting for the dream rejection that might come.

She had come very close to saying the essence of the matter.

With Lumian having been kicked out of the dream, Franka suffering from an illness, and the police department attaching great importance to the vicious case of Zarathustra being shot, Janna is not ready for further experiments.

Even if an experiment is to be conducted, the target will be Peng Deng or Zhou Mingrui. It is unlikely that the real situation will be revealed to Luo Shan right now. It has to be done step by step and slowly laid the groundwork.

No one will accept that she is fake and her existence is meaningless. This will bring unpredictable stimulation to Roshan. Janna can hardly imagine what kind of changes this will bring to Roshan.

Compared to this, being kicked out of the dream was not a particularly serious problem at all. She could still enter again anyway.

Of course, it would be best not to be kicked out, otherwise the sick and weak Franka might not be able to control Lumiana and prevent her from secretly going to Mushu Hospital.

Luo Shan's lips moved, and after a long trembling voice, she said:
"So, I am just an imaginary image in someone else's dream?"

Without waiting for Janna's response, Luo Shan raised her hand and touched her face, then shook her head violently:
"I don't believe it... I don't believe it... I don't believe it! This is not a dream, and I am not fake!"

At this moment, Janna wanted to persuade the other party to divert his attention and find new meaning, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't turn them into sentences.

Luo Shan shouted for a while and finally returned to silence.

She looked at Janna again and said:

"Every time, every time I observe reality, I see gray-white fog. There is gray fog in every scene. What are these?"

Janna hesitated for a moment and said:
"It could be, it could be the border of dreams."

Luo Shan was silent again, staring at Jenna's eyes as if grasping at the last straw.

She slowly lowered her head, turned her body, and muttered to herself:
"No, that's not the case... I don't believe it...

"I do not believe……"

She turned her back to Janna, facing the translucent barrier and the monsters hiding in the darkness outside the barrier alone.

…………

A cafe with outdoor seating on the Serenzo River in Trier.

Wearing sunglasses and with long hair, Lumian was bathing in the bright sunshine, holding a cup of Intis coffee, gazing at the broad river, the classical buildings on the opposite bank, the steel ships gushing steam, the bustling river island and the airships passing by from time to time, enjoying a rare leisure time.

He has nothing to do for the time being.

He originally wanted to go to Bansi Island when he returned to the real world to find a special scene where the corpse oil candles could play the greatest role, but after repeated consideration, he gave up this plan:

There are uncertain risks in Bansy Harbor. If he is trapped there and cannot enter Mr. Fool's real dream, or dies directly, it will significantly affect the subsequent progress of the awakening plan.

Lumian could still tell which of the two things was more important.

He also considered going to the New Silver City, entering the underground, borrowing the "Gift of the Earth", a "0" level seal, and bringing it into the Dream City to increase the strength of the team. After all, for him, he could use the lucky gold coin to return to Mr. Fool's dream no matter where he fell asleep, and the New Silver City was also a safe place.

Ultimately, Lumian erred on the side of caution and did not take this risky attempt.

He has the blood of Omebella, and in the Dream City, Green and other benefactors of the "Great Mother" regard him as the son of God of the "Great Mother". The influence and erosion of the "Great Mother" on the Dream City is also hidden under the Mushu Hospital. If the "Gift of the Earth" transformed from the real corpse of Omebella is added to it, Lumian dare not imagine what kind of problems will arise.

He was worried that he would bring the "Gift of the Earth" into the dream city, so he found that his dream image appeared on the basement floor of the Mushu Hospital, and then the "Gift of the Earth" merged with his body, allowing Omibella to be completely reborn.

And such an Omibella might be able to withstand the advent of the "Great Mother".

Unable to do this or that, Lumian had to give himself a day off. As for making a new "Ice Mirror Spell", he would have to wait a little longer because his bad luck had not completely subsided.

Yes, although he was the "Man in the Ring" in the dream city, after returning to reality, he still suffered the negative effect of bad luck.

Correspondingly, the "Man in the Ring" effect of his "Ring of Binding" can only be used seven more times, and using "Man in the Ring" twice has caused his bad luck to accumulate to six hours, and it did not occur immediately.

——The types of “man in the ring” he uses for the mirror projection of Zarathustra and the historical pore image are different. One allows the scene to be reproduced, and the other allows the position to be fixed.

"The essence of the negative effect reflected in reality is that the use of extraordinary items in dreams will cause the extraordinary items in reality to be activated, and then the corresponding negative effects will also be produced?" Lumian took a sip of coffee and relaxed his body and mind.

He sighed silently:

"I have a chance to take a break from my busy life..."

After a while, Lumian stared at the gently rippling, relatively clean water, breathed in the cool breeze blowing from the river, and thought to himself:

"Is the other 'me' also in a daze like this right now?"

He had thought about the conflict in his image and identity after being kicked out of the dream as a woman, but he did not remind Janna and Franca. He only told them to be careful of the influence of Omibella's bloodline.

He felt that this situation might cause some of Auror's characteristics to gradually awaken in his dream self.

…………

8 am, DeChuang Garden.

As soon as Franca woke up in a daze, she saw Lumiana standing in front of the bay window, looking at the bright sunshine outside, wondering what she was thinking.

After a night's rest, Franca's condition had improved a lot. She no longer felt weak all over and even had trouble walking.

"What are you looking at?" she asked Lumiana tentatively.

Lumiana didn't look back, and said in a slightly vague tone:

"I really want to go out for a walk. It's not too hot at this time."

"Let's wait until the storm has died down." Franca suggested, "How about we play computer games?"

"What game?" Lumiana turned back.

"..." Franca suddenly fell silent.

What computer games can you play if you don’t have a computer?
The host doesn’t have it either!
They have to save every penny to prepare for going to the Star Dream Grocery Store to rent useful items or complete key tasks when necessary. In daily life, non-essential expenses are always saved as much as possible.

"Mobile games..." Franca stopped talking.

What games can I play without lag on a phone that costs only a few hundred yuan?
"Let's play Landlord!" she had no choice but to say.

At this time, Janna came in and helped her to the bathroom to wash up.

After closing the bathroom door, Janna kept an eye on the movements outside, fearing that Lumiana might suddenly run out. She lowered her voice and told Franca about Roxanne.

Franka sat on the toilet, her mouth half open, completely stunned.

After hearing what Jenna said, she sighed:

"We still don't know enough about the capabilities of the 'Reporter' sequence..."

She understood very well how Luo Shan felt now. If an authoritative person told her that the life she had since traveled through time was fake, her past was also fake, and that she was just an imaginary character existing in a dream, she would definitely suffer a great blow. It was already a good thing that she didn't collapse on the spot.

Even though she had thought about using Roxanne to awaken Mr. Fool, Franka had hoped to convince him with a made-up story rather than telling him the truth.

Some truths are best never known.

That represents despair.

Franka thought for a moment, and then said desperately:

"Can you find an excuse to cover it up? Not to tell her you're lying, but to design something so that everyone can 'discover' that the dream is just a disguise, not the final truth. I think Luo Shan can accept such a development. People will deceive themselves about certain things. Didn't she always say that she didn't believe it was a dream?

"Besides, we can't come up with strong enough evidence to prove that this was a dream!"

Janna was silent for a moment and said:

"This is the only way to deal with it for now. During this time, we need to find Anthony to find a way to comfort Roshan, or let him provide treatment directly."

Franka nodded slightly, and suddenly showed a thoughtful expression.

She looked at Janna and said slowly:

"According to our previous speculation, Luo Shan is a dream character created by Mr. Fool's differentiated subconsciousness and the corresponding image in his memory. In a broad sense, she is equivalent to a part of Mr. Fool.

"After she heard the truth about the dream, the dream city didn't change at all, and you weren't kicked out of the dream..."
