Ring of Fate

Chapter 989 Girls' Day (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to Everyone)
"Yes." Janna also expressed her confusion, "I thought I would be kicked out of the dream immediately, but nothing happened."

Franka thought for a moment and said:
"Is it that telling the truth about this world to the dream figures other than Zhou Mingrui and a few others will not cause abnormal reactions, or is it that Luo Shan is a special character who has been slightly contaminated by the evil god of the Fantasy Society, and the connection between her and the main consciousness of the dream is no longer close?"

Janna shook her head and answered honestly:

"do not know."

She paused, her eyes turned slightly and said:
"If I can appease Luo Shan this time, I can find a chance to mention Mr. Fool to her and see if there will be any special reaction, and whether it will cause me to be kicked out of the dream."

"You can also try telling the corresponding things to other dream images and see what the results will be." Franca said "um", stretched out her hands, helped Janna, and stood up from the toilet.

After she finished washing up, she returned to the living room and saw Lumiana watching TV.

She was moved and said to Janna:

"How about inviting Luo Shan to play cards? Four people can play level up."

"I'll ask her and see if she's willing." Janna understood that Franca wanted to find something for Roshan to do and entertain herself to ease her emotional state, and she and others could also use the opportunity of playing cards to provide covert psychological counseling.

Jana then picked up her phone and sent a message to Roxanne.

After about seven or eight minutes, Luo Shan replied:
"Okay, wait until I have breakfast before getting up."

"She's willing to come," Janna said to Franca and Lumiana.

Lumiana recognized Roshan and knew that she was her colleague, so she quickly stood up and said:

"Should I change back into men's clothes?"

"No, no, just pretend you don't know her and say she is our friend." Franca shook her head quickly.

If I really change into men's clothes, wouldn't Luo Shan be reminded of Li Ming?

After all, you two do look a bit alike!

Of course, as long as Lumiana doesn't wear men's clothes or pretend to be a man, no one will associate her with the security guard Li Ming. Not to mention that this is a question of a man and a woman, even in appearance, at first glance, the difference is huge, because when Lumiana played the role of Li Ming, she used the "lie" ear clip to lower her appearance and modify the details.

Seeing this, Janna went over the possible problems that might arise in the meeting between Lumiana and Roxanne on behalf of Franca, whose mind was still a little confused. She then used WeChat to chat with Anthony about Roxanne's knowledge of the truth about the world, and consulted him on the direction and strategy of psychological counseling.

Not long after, Luo Shan arrived at the 23rd floor and rang the doorbell.

At the same time, Jana also received a reply from "Anred":

"Talk to her about her past."

Using the past that was certain, experienced, and felt to be very real to reduce the current disillusionment? Janna roughly understood Anthony's intention.

She immediately followed Franca's instructions and took out two decks of cards.

The four of them played "Upgrade" on the coffee table. Lumiana and Janna were rivals, while Franca and Roxanne were in the same group.

They didn't gamble with money. Janna, Franca and Lumiana didn't have any spare money to gamble. What they bet was that whichever pair got to A first would get to stick five small pieces of paper on the loser's face or draw funny patterns with washable paint.

After successfully reaching "3", Janna looked at Roxanne and started chatting casually:
"You said before that your father is a policeman?"

"Yeah." Luo Shan's mood was not very good. She pushed the cards to the middle of the coffee table and said, "He was being chased by a cult leader with a lot of blood debts. He was beaten severely and died in the hospital."

"Are there any martyrs?" Franca asked.

"Yes." Luo Shan suddenly laughed at herself. "When I graduated from college, I actually had the opportunity to work as a civilian in the police department, but I also received an offer from the administrative department of Intis Group. I hesitated for a long time, thinking that I was just an ordinary person and didn't like sports, so I was not suitable to be a police officer. In the end, I chose Intis Group."

Maybe it's not just this reason? Franca didn't ask further.

She simply thought that ordinary people without much ambition could not refuse a position in the public sector, and that it was just a civil servant position and did not require catching criminals.

While waiting for the cards to be dealt, Luo Shan said, “Hmm.”
"This is actually my mother's wish. When she sees the police, she will think of my father's death."

"Your mother is in her hometown and not living with you?" Janna asked knowingly.

Luo Shan looked at the cards in front of her, her voice gradually becoming erratic:

"When I was in college, she fell ill and was hospitalized...her condition was sometimes better and sometimes worse, and she didn't make it after two years..."

Before Franca and Janna could comfort Roxanne, Lumiana suddenly spoke:

"My mother was seriously ill once and had to go to the hospital frequently. I was still young at that time, so I stood at the door of the hospital and watched her being pushed in. My father bent over and stayed beside her... I don't remember who was watching me at the time. I only remember that I was very quiet, I didn't cry, and I didn't make a fuss...

"I'm luckier than you because my mother recovered later."

At this point, Lumiana's eyes suddenly became hazy and her voice became deep:
"I miss her so much..."

Franca and Janna suddenly looked at each other, both with surprised expressions.

This is not Li Ming’s background information, nor is it what the two of them instilled in them.

It can’t be...Franca quickly had a guess.

"I miss my mother too." Roxanne responded to Lumiana.

She seemed to recall her past life, the days when she depended on her mother. Although she felt sad, the dead feeling had faded a lot.

In the following time, Roshan's condition recovered a little - while playing cards, Janna and Franca talked to her about her college life and career, and Roshan told her about the things that she remembered vividly.

Franca and Janna could clearly hear that by the end of her speech, Rosanne became very excited, as if she wanted to prove something.

"It's over. It's almost noon. I'll go cook for you." Janna stood up and said with a smile.

Today's losers are Franca and Roxanne. Both of their faces were covered with notes with various funny words written on them, and they were photographed as a souvenir.

"I don't accept it! You are taking advantage of my illness to kill me." After all, Franca was still ill and her brain was not that sharp. She held Roshan back in the card game. She whined and said, "The children in South Village are bullying me because I am sick and weak!"

Jenna was amused by her:

"Try again when you're well. You've always lost to me before."

This refers to the days when she was a "flashy girl" and was often taken to play cards by the market area bully "Red Boots" Francara.

Isn't that giving you a break? Otherwise, it would be easy for a witch to win by just using the power of mysticism? Franca muttered to herself.

At this time, Lumiana stood up and said to Janna:

"I'll help you cut the vegetables."

"I'll help too." Luo Shan raised her hand, "The patient is responsible for resting!"

She took the opportunity to tear off the papers on her face and walked briskly into the kitchen.

Watching the three of them busy in the kitchen, with laughter and joy coming from time to time, Franka leaned back on the sofa, peeling the paper off her face, thinking:
"I hope this isn't a dream..."

After enjoying lunch happily, washing the dishes and cleaning the pot, Luo Shan said goodbye and left.

She had an appointment with her college friend in the afternoon.

Janna and Franca, who was still walking a little unsteadily, sent her to the door.

Luo Shan turned her body sideways, opened her mouth, and seemed to want to say something, but she finally retracted her gaze and waved her hand.

"Bye-Bye."

She quickened her pace and headed straight for the elevator.

Franca and Janna watched her enter the elevator before turning back into the house and picking up their own phones.

Seeing their performance, Lumiana finally remembered that she had lost an important item:
"Where's my phone?"

It seemed to have disappeared last night...

"It's here with me." Franka took out Lumian's cell phone from her "traveler's bag".

Before this operation, they made plans for different developments. Except for Franka, everyone was prepared to be kicked out of the dream, so they simply did not bring their cell phones, or gave them to Franka for safekeeping, or left them at home. In this way, when they were kicked out of the dream, it would be difficult for Tianzun to find their companions through the cell phone contacts, and there was no need to delete the address book again - it would be too troublesome to add it back later.

Lumiana took the phone and unlocked the screen with her fingerprint.

"Intis Group Green sent me a message... Why did the director send me a message?" Lumiana looked confused.

Franka leaned over and saw Green giving her a "thumbs-up" emoticon:
"As expected of you!"

Apparently, Green recognized the woman who walked out of the screen with Zarathustra as Lumiana, and therefore believed that Zarathustra's death was caused by the Son of God.

Janna's mind raced as she tried to find an explanation for the relationship between Green and Lumiana that didn't involve the supernatural.

She carefully composed:

"Green has seen you dressed as a woman and has a deep admiration for you. He is a masochist and treats you as his master. The more arrogant and cold you are to him, the more satisfied he will be. Anyway, just ignore him and let him fantasize about himself."

"Ah...pervert." Lumiana said with disgust.

Then she asked:

"What did he mean by worthy of me?"

"Maybe he saw the video or photo of you and Zarathustra together and thought you killed Zarathustra." Jana felt exhausted from overworking her brain. "Don't worry, he won't betray you. Instead, he will keep this secret even more strictly and feel moved."

"..." Franca was speechless for a while, and felt that Janna had been a little polluted by the Internet during this period.

“Is that so?” Lumiana breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them each sat in a seat, quietly playing with their phones to digest what they had eaten at noon.

Suddenly, Franca saw a piece of local news:
"The restaurant affiliated with Hongyue Hospital launched a variety of mushroom sets yesterday, which were well received."

Devil's set meal, no, mushroom set meal? Franka's eyelids twitched after listening to Lumian's story about Li Keji and watching the latest episode of "The Great Adventurer".

She remembered that not long ago Lumian had instigated Li Keji to create a new type of mushroom that could cure An Xiaotian, a vegetative state.

PS: I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because it is impossible for everyone to go home for reunion, so I would like to send you off with a poem:
The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.
