Ring of Fate

Chapter 990 Disaster (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to Everyone)

What has Li Keji done again? Franca took a deep breath.

She reflexively wanted to check and confirm, hoping to prevent something more dangerous from happening in time, but as soon as she moved her body, she remembered that she was still sick and had no ability to do so.

Janna can't go either, she has to keep an eye on Lumiana and stop her from running around... Anthony has another mission... We can't let Lumiana go, the ending will either be that Lumiana's body is covered with mushrooms, or Li Keji is pregnant... After thinking it over, Franka decided to wait a while, until Lumiana returns to the Dream City, and then go there in person.

Li Keji is a friendly force, there is no need to worry too much... Li Keji is a friendly force, there is no need to worry too much... Franca kept repeating these words to herself.

She planned to forward the news to Lumian so that the latter would know what happened as soon as he returned to the Dream City.

Just as Franka clicked on the corresponding option, she was suddenly stunned:

Damn, I almost slipped...

Isn't Lumian now Lumiana?

This is sick, my brain is really not working well...

Fortunately, I woke up in time...

…………

Inside the Tianyue Hotel, next to Zarathustra's room.

The two bodyguards who had followed Zarathustra appeared here, and in front of them stood an old man with white hair and a youthful face.

The old man was wearing a white training suit, with his hands behind his back. He paced back and forth near the wall and said:

"No clues about the murderer yet?"

"No, we can only be sure that a 'witch' was involved." One of the bodyguards replied.

The old man in white training clothes thought for a moment and said:

"It's impossible for Zhou Mingrui to appear in Shujinrenjia Hotpot Restaurant for no reason. It's not that coincidental.

"Find out who invited him there, or who induced him to have people eat there.

"Luo Shan and Luo Fu, who had hot pot with him, are the key targets of investigation."

"Yes, Mr. Cui." The two bodyguards responded in unison.

The old man called "Mr. Cui" pondered for a few seconds and said:

"Be careful when investigating Luo Shan. The previous feedback is that Luo Shan is affiliated with the extraterritorial evil god. She is a partner that can be cooperated with and has strong strength."

The two bodyguards agreed and walked out of the room.

Mr. Cui paced for a while, then quietly opened the door and walked out with his bodyguard.

He deliberately did not tell the two bodyguards that he would also investigate Luo Shan and would follow them secretly. If they fell into a trap or met with an accident, he would be able to get a glimpse of the truth, while the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind.

After leaving the room, Mr. Cui walked towards the elevator along the thickly carpeted corridor at a moderate pace.

In a vent on the ceiling of the corridor, a pair of eyes were watching him quietly.

The eyes were a deep brown color, blending completely into the darkness.

They belong to Zhou Mingrui.

Zhou Mingrui had lurked in the ceiling of the corridor at some point, observing every move of Zarathustra's bodyguards and followers, and observing Mr. Cui's situation.

This is because, when he got up this morning and opened the door to get some breakfast, he found a letter stuffed through the crack of the door. There was a printed paper on the surface of the envelope with the words "To Zhou Mingrui" written on it.

At that time, Zhou Mingrui opened the letter puzzled and found a photo inside, a photo of "Mr. Cui" secretly taken.

There is also paper and text on the back of the photo:

"This is Zarathustra's assistant. He will carry on Zarathustra's will and do something against you."

After reading the content behind the photo, Zhou Mingrui's spirit instantly tensed up.

He thought this was a reminder to him from the group that shot Zarathustra last night. He even suspected that Luo Shan invited him to have dinner at Shujinrenjia Hotpot Restaurant so that he could witness Zarathustra's death.

"What exactly do Zarathustra and his gang want to do to me? What do the gang that killed him want to do?" Zhou Mingrui couldn't think of an answer, and finally decided to secretly observe the target person to see if he could find any clues.

He used this to confirm that Mr. Cui, who lived next door to Zarathustra and apparently had no connection with Zarathustra's negotiation team, was really in cahoots with Zarathustra.

"There is indeed something wrong with him." Zhou Mingrui nodded slightly in the darkness on the ceiling.

At the same time, he also noticed some other oddities:
He originally thought that he would be inexperienced and unfamiliar with such things as drilling through air vents, climbing ceilings, and conducting secret surveillance, and would make many mistakes. However, when he actually performed them, he felt an odd sense of familiarity and accomplished his intended purpose very smoothly.

This relies on more than just the power of the "Assassin".

"It was the same yesterday. When I saw Zarathustra being shot, he was not nervous or panicked at all. He was very calm... Is this the psychological quality of a qualified 'assassin', or is there another reason?" Zhou Mingrui fell into deep thought.

He vaguely suspected that what he didn't understand well enough was not only the world, but also himself.

Mr. Cui and his bodyguard took the elevator to the first floor.

Just after taking a few steps towards the revolving door, he suddenly raised his hands and covered his neck.

He felt the rapid arrival of the Puppetization, and also felt the rejection of the dream.

His breathing became difficult, and he felt as if he was thrown into a void where there was nothing.

How could this happen? Mr. Cui's pupils dilated, and he didn't dare to hold on, and took the initiative to exit the dream.

thump!
His bodyguard suddenly fell down and died on the spot.

A small insect flying nearby also fell to the ground with a plop, lying motionless.

In the temporary parking lot in front of Tianyue Hotel, Anthony, sitting in the driver's seat with Ludwig, watched the scene calmly.

The other "fortune teller" demigod mentioned by the magic mirror Arrodes was also kicked out of the dream!
Once the opponent's secret puppet loses control, it is essentially dead.

With the information provided by the magic mirror Arrodes, Lumian and others did not ignore the "Fortune Teller" who lived next door to Zarathustra and helped Zarathustra discover the intruder, but they all understood that it was not appropriate to take action against Mr. Cui before dealing with Zarathustra, as that would alert the enemy. Therefore, they only secretly took a photo of Mr. Cui, and after the hot pot restaurant operation was over, Anthony, the only one who could still work normally, stuffed the prepared envelope into the crack of Zhou Mingrui's door the next morning.

——With Lumian being kicked out of the dream, Franca being seriously ill, and Janna needing to take care of two people, Anthony obviously couldn't deal with Mr. Cui on his own, so he could only "ask" Zhou Mingrui for help.

Anthony looked at the hotel staff who came hurriedly to check on the fallen bodyguard and the bewildered Mr. Cui, and did not push the door and get out of the car. He took the opportunity to get rid of the latter's dream image.

It's not that he didn't want to, but after observing just now, he found that there were police officers secretly stationed near Mr. Cui. Once he took action, he would not be able to escape even with psychological invisibility.

That means he is fighting against the main consciousness of the dream, and the consequences may be more serious than being kicked out of the dream!
Anthony waited patiently but never found an opportunity, so he decided to wait until Lumian returned to the Dream City before taking action.

When it comes to covert killings, Lumian is better than him, Janna, and Franka!
Anthony chose to go back and rest last night and wait until the next day to deliver the letter, instead of going directly, in order to create a time difference:

Under the premise that the corresponding dream image has not been killed, the time interval for the return of the person who was kicked out of the dream is similar. If Anthony had reminded Zhou Mingrui last night, then Mr. Cui would not have returned to the dream city and regained control of his dream image much later than Lumian, at most a few hours later. During these hours, Lumian might not have found an opportunity to make his dream image die unknowingly.

Now, after Lumian returns at 7 or 8 pm, he will have nearly a day to murder Mr. Choi's dream image.

…………

DeChuang Garden, room 2303.

Just after seven in the evening, Franca and Janna, who had been watching Lumiana, saw this beautiful woman suddenly change her appearance and become a man.

Lumian then took the "lie" ear clip and changed his appearance to look less like Li Ming.

Franka took the opportunity to tell him about the Red Moon Hospital's mushroom meal.

Lumian nodded:
"I'll go take care of the other side first."

As he said this, he stood up.

Franca suppressed her smile and pointed at him.

"Change your clothes first, and don't wear Janna's nightgown."

Lumian lowered his head and found that Lumiana had been wearing Jenna's nightgown.

At ten o'clock in the evening, in a white car parked on the side of the road, Lumian was playing with his mobile phone boredly, as if he was waiting for someone.

——They have rented a new car because the previous car was registered under the name "Luo Fu". If the car rented by Luo Fu coincidentally appears near the scene of Mr. Cui's death, then Franka's suspicion will be strong enough to be arrested on the spot.

Lumian waited for a while and saw through the rearview mirror that Mr. Cui was walking alone, preparing to cross the intersection and return to Tianyue Hotel.

When Mr. Cui passed his vehicle, Lumian's eyes suddenly turned silver-white with black.

"Eye of Disaster"!
Before Mr. Cui even looked past the rearview mirror, he had already found the tributary of fate that led the other party to death.

The next second, Lumian hid his left hand wearing the "Binding Ring" and slightly raised his right palm.

He touched the trunk of Mr. Cui's destiny through the air and pushed it towards the black tributary.

His spirituality poured out madly, his expression did not change at all, and his movements were normal.

Mr. Cui's dream image was unaware of this, and the police who were monitoring him in a hidden place did not notice anything unusual.

Mr. Cui continued walking forward for about ten or twenty meters and walked onto the crosswalk.

It was already real night, and there were few people and cars on the road.

Suddenly, a car coming from a distance seemed to lose control because it was going too fast and ran through the red light.

When Mr. Cui saw this scene, his pupils suddenly dilated.

boom!
He was knocked flying and his head hit the ground hard.

Immediately afterwards, he was run over by an out-of-control car and died a miserable death.

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