Ring of Fate

Chapter 994 Active Chat

After suspecting that Zarathustra replaced the teachers of Dream Cram School and Star Cram School in order to target the image of German Sparrow who did not actually exist in the Dream City, Lumian and others discussed this for a long time, but they still could not figure out the meaning and purpose of doing so.

They planned to write a letter and have Franka and Janna take it to the Star Dream Grocery Store to mail it tomorrow to see what opinions the Major Arcana cards would give.

As she stood up and prepared to leave the Xinhong rental house, Franca remembered something and looked at Lumian curiously:
"You said before that the reason why Li Keji was pregnant was because of Green's cognition, the Omibella bloodline in you, and the subconsciousness of the Heavenly Venerable brought by the environment of Mushu Hospital, which made you equal to the 'Great Mother' Godson Omibella in your dream, and made your casual words 'he is pregnant' become a fact. Then, as the Godson Omibella, can you now use the extraordinary abilities of the three paths of 'cultivator', 'pharmacist', and 'sorcerer'?"

Franca's eyes were sparkling, and she felt that this matter had a bit of the meaning of "I'm thinking".

Of course, this "I" refers to the subconscious mind in dreams.

As long as you let your subconscious mind believe in the dream, anything can happen!
Lumian tried to see if he could use the abilities related to "Vampire", "Harvest Priest" and "Warlock", but failed.

"No." He shook his head.

Without waiting for Franca's response, he added thoughtfully:
"Maybe at Mushu Hospital."

As Franca said "hmm", Janna reminded Lumian:
"If that's the case, then frequent visits to Mushu Hospital may cause you to become more and more like Omibella, until you are completely identical to her."

Lumian thought for a few seconds and said in a deep voice:

"possible."

Franca hissed immediately:
"Why is the style of 'Great Mother' so sinister, always making people fall into its trap without realizing it? Sometimes, vigilance seems to be of no use..."

At this point, Franka answered her own question:

"From the name, 'Great Mother' may symbolize the 'yin' in the term 'yin and yang'..."

…………

The next day, which was Sunday, Lumian brought Ludwig to the Dream Tutorial School again.

While sending the children to the classroom, he subtly used his "eyes of disaster" to observe the front desk, every teacher he met, and Anderson Hood.

Except for the latter, the mercury-colored rivers of destiny corresponding to the others have all turned black, representing death, at some point in the past. Some of these black colors have become blurred, while others are still clear, and are flowing further and further back as the river of illusion moves forward, becoming increasingly difficult to see.

"He is indeed a new student..." Lumian did not speak to Anderson Hood. He took two steps back and sat back in his old seat.

He was just thinking about how to deal with this matter when he suddenly saw Zhou Mingrui walking towards him in a loose sky blue T-shirt.

What a dedicated person! After witnessing the shooting of Zarathustra and observing Mr. Cui, he actually remembered to come to the Business English class... Lumian sighed, stood up and greeted Zhou Mingrui.

As both were employees of the Intis Group and had met each other more than once, this was proper courtesy.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingrui responded with a greeting.

Just when Lumian thought he would turn into the classroom smoothly, Zhou Mingrui stopped and stopped in front of him.

Zhou Mingrui glanced around and said:

"Did Mr. Da resign? I haven't seen him every time I came here recently.

"You know Mr. Da, right?"

"I know, Danizi, I brought my child here to sign up after seeing the flyers he distributed." Lumian answered simply.

He didn't expect Zhou Mingrui to take the initiative to chat with him, and even asked about the envoy of God Danitz.

Stimulated by the incident of Zarathustra, Zhou Mingrui began to explore the hidden abnormalities around him more actively and approached those of us with problems more boldly. He then discovered that Mr. Da from the Dream Tutorial School had not appeared recently? This is a good thing! Well, there is also a bad side. If he continues to explore like this, maybe one day, Franka and I will be kicked out of the dream without any warning like Mr. Cui... Lumian's thoughts turned and he made a rough judgment.

Without waiting for Zhou Mingrui to ask again, he sighed and said:

"Teacher Da didn't resign, he passed away."

"Ah?" Zhou Mingrui's eyes suddenly froze.

Shock and surprise showed on his face.

This is how a normal person would react when hearing similar news.

"When did it happen? What happened?" Zhou Mingrui did not hide his surprise.

Lumian glanced towards the front desk:
"I heard from Principal Ai that he seemed to have met a perverted murderer and was strangled to death.

"At first, Principal Ai and Teacher Anderson thought that she was just missing. They didn't have confidence in Teacher Da's ability to survive alone, so they quickly called the police. Later, after searching, the police found Teacher Da in the morgue in the basement of Mushu Hospital in the form of a corpse."

Lumian talked about the information that Principal Ai Nana had said and could be searched on the Internet. He was not worried that he would be kicked out of the dream again because of this. After re-entering the dream, he planned to behave himself in front of Zhou Mingrui for two or three days.

"Killed..." Zhou Mingrui's eyes flickered and he fell into deep thought.

"Yes, the body was found in the morgue in the basement of Mushu Hospital." Lumian deliberately emphasized.

He wanted to use normal communication to guide Zhou Mingrui to pay attention to possible problems in Mushu Hospital.

"Did the murderer deliberately send Teacher Da's body to the underground morgue?" Zhou Mingrui expressed his confusion.

Lumian shook his head.
"It may not be the murderer who did it. It may be delivered by a passerby who found the body."

"How is that possible? Passersby would call the police directly if they saw the body." Zhou Mingrui felt more and more that there was something wrong with this matter.

"But why did the murderer insist on sending Teacher Da's body to the underground morgue of Mushu Hospital? He thought that if he hid it there, no one would find it? Why did he think so..." Lumian was responsible for raising the question, emphasizing Mushu Hospital, but did not give an answer.

The answer is too dangerous for him now.

Zhou Mingrui nodded thoughtfully and pointed to the Business English classroom.
"I will go to class."

"Okay." Lumian sat down.

He leaned against the classroom wall, his thoughts gradually wandering:

"The secret replacement of teachers at Dream Tutorial School and Star Tutorial School is really hard to solve...

"If it were in the real world, I would find an opportunity to blow up the underground part of Mushu Hospital and completely eliminate the hidden dangers. But in the dream city, the underground part of Mushu Hospital is the psychological shadow of a great being and the infiltration point of the power of other great beings. I'm afraid that the person in Xingmeng Grocery Store and Stiano would not dare to set foot in it easily, even if they are not subject to corresponding restrictions...

"Using the 'Eye of Disaster' to distinguish whether the target is a newcomer, kill Huang Jiajia, Ai Nana and others who have been replaced, and eliminate them?
"If I kill one, I still have the confidence to cover up the traces and not be discovered. But if I kill so many, I will be dead as the director of the Dream City Police Department and Yagaizi? This is a blatant provocation to the main consciousness of the dream. I might be locked up the next day...

"Moreover, if Huang Jiajia and others, who are related to Gehrman Sparrow, all withdraw from the Dream City stage, it may bring about bad changes, or cause the subsequent awakening plan to fail from the beginning...

"Report? In the absence of clues, it may be just like the previous report on Zarathustra, with no response...

“Are there any clues that can allow the police to investigate further and find out something is wrong?

“I hope the Major Arcana cards can provide some good ideas…

"Um……"

As Lumian's thoughts became more and more distracted, he saw Zhou Mingrui coming out of the classroom with a cell phone and walking towards the bathroom from the corner of his eye.

Lumian tilted his head, leaned against the "Hunter's" ear, and eavesdropped on what Zhou Mingrui was saying at a not-so-close distance.

He heard Zhou Mingrui asked in surprise:

"Weren't you scheduled to come on Monday? Why was it postponed to Wednesday?"

On the other end of the phone, a female voice faintly reached Lumian's ears:

"I've thought about it. You have to work and can't take me out to play. Why don't you just go and report directly?"

Zhou Mingrui was silent for a moment and said:

“I have annual leave.”

"It's okay, take me out to play on the weekend." The female voice on the other end of the phone said with a smile.

Zhou Mingrui sighed and said:

"That's fine. What time is your train on Wednesday?"

Hearing this, Lumian roughly understood what was going on:

According to the information provided by the Major Arcana cards, Zhou Mingrui's sister Zhou Shasha has been admitted to a university in Yangdu and will soon come here to study.

Next Wednesday, Zhou Shasha will arrive in Yangdu? As one of the dream figures closest to Zhou Mingrui, what changes will her arrival trigger? Lumian raised his right hand and rubbed his temples on both sides, feeling that things were happening one after another without stopping.

Star Dream Grocery Store.

Franka and Janna, who came by taxi, walked into the dim store.

The former politely asked the owner if he could send a letter, while the latter wandered around the entrance area, examining the antiques on the shelves and observing the situation outside.

After getting the owner's consent, Franka walked to the shelf and put the letter in her hand into the black mailbox inlaid with silver.

She glanced around and found that the "Arrogant Armor" that once belonged to her was standing quietly on the inner edge of the right shelf.

The surface of this silver-white full-body armor was stained with patches of dark red blood at some point in time. Just by seeing it, Franka felt as if she was rapidly becoming weak and that her serious illness was re-afflicting her.

Even more evil...Franca didn't dare to ask the owner what happened to the "Arrogant Armor". She quickly retracted her gaze and walked towards the door.

At this time, Janna raised her hand and pointed secretly across the street.

There was a white dove perched on the branch of a roadside tree.
