Ring of Fate

Chapter 996 Important Figures
Xinhong Community, inside a rental house.

Franca recounted the results of Roshan's observations and the questions she raised, and finally said:
"The more I think about it, the more I find this matter a little strange. The Major Arcana clearly mentioned in the information that Mr. Fool fell asleep to fight against Tianzun's consciousness. Why are they so focused on waking up Mr. Fool instead of helping to weaken Tianzun? We are the same. With enough information before, we didn't even think about it. It's like we were bewitched, no, we were bewitched..."

Having said this, Franca paused.

Everyone present immediately thought of a word:
"Fool"!
In the unspeakable silence, only Ludwig was completely unaffected, gnawing on the boiled corn.

Jana thought carefully for a while and said:

"Perhaps awakening Mr. Fool will weaken Tianzun and increase his advantage."

Lumian shook his head.
"Even if this symbol is true, we should not have completely considered weakening Tianzun to help Mr. Fool wake up."

"Does that mean this direction is the correct one? That's why dreams fool us and prevent us from thinking in this direction." Franka got excited.

"Not necessarily." Anthony answered her, "That Tianzun is the one who stands at the top of the 'swindlers'. He fooled us at the beginning so that we would not consider the possibility of weakening him. Perhaps he did this so that we would believe that this is the only correct path after we have gained certain results in our subsequent explorations, and thus rush forward."

"If the enemy opposes us, it means we are doing the right thing. But what if the enemy deliberately opposes us... We can do it but pretend we can't..." Franca understood what Anthony meant. She said distressedly, "How should we choose?"

“Why choose?” Lumian laughed. “Awakening Mr. Fool and weakening the Supreme can be done simultaneously.”

He stood up and paced around the small living room, saying as he walked:

“Let us now re-analyze the possible purposes of what Zarathustra did:
"Contacting Zhou Mingrui should be to find a way to make Zhou Mingrui drink the subsequent magic potion and become a 'witch', so that a fixed and long-term 'man in the mirror' will appear, and to shake Zhou Mingrui's cognition of himself to a certain extent;
"The negotiation of the merger and reorganization with Intis Group is to obtain more money and resources. Using the mirror Roselle to erode and influence Huang Tao is most likely for the same purpose.

"Eliminating and replacing the dream images related to Gehrman Sparrow's life experience may be to weaken the World and indirectly weaken Mr. Fool...

"At present, these things do not seem to contain the intention of awakening the Heavenly Lord. Accumulating money and resources can barely be considered..."

When Janna, Franca, and Anthony nodded slightly, Lumian denied himself again:
"No, letting Zhou Mingrui appear as the fixed 'Man in the Mirror' may also be to let Tianzun use the 'Man in the Mirror' to gain more initiative and gradually gain the upper hand, so that he can wake up. Clearing out the dream image related to Gehrman Sparrow is to weaken Mr. Fool, but replacing them with his own people and poaching Jia Yu is to make the fake real later, so that the identity of 'World' points to Tianzun instead of Mr. Fool? This is also a kind of awakening...

"But these awakenings all come with a weakening of Mr. Fool. The two cannot be separated."

What Lumian meant was that both weakening the Celestial Lord and awakening Mr. Fool had to be done, and sometimes, they were actually different aspects of the same thing.

Franka said "hmm":
"But how can we weaken Tianzun?"

The Major Arcana cards didn't know about Tianzun's past, nor did they mention which character in the Dream City was closely related to Tianzun. Franka couldn't find a target to weaken Tianzun and had no idea where to start.

“Currently, only Peng Deng is suspected to be related to Tianzun, but it cannot be confirmed yet,” Anthony said.

“What is certain is that Pengden is definitely special in the Dream City.” Lumian nodded slightly.

This is the conclusion drawn from Anthony's experience and Pengden's rental of the magic mirror Arrodes.

Lumian then said:
"In fact, there is a place that can be confirmed to be closely related to Tianzun."

Seeing Franka, Janna and the others looking thoughtful, Lumian gave the answer directly:
"Mushu Hospital!
"Without a close relationship and a cooperative intention reached in advance, Tianzun would not have sent the bodies of Gehrman Sparrow's dream images to the morgue in the basement of Mushu Hospital, allowing them to be 'reborn' there. Such 'rebirth' would also cause the corresponding images to completely become puppets of Tianzun alone."

"The underground part of Mushu Hospital..." Franka said, and couldn't help but take a breath.

That is where the psychological shadow of the great existence is materialized, it is the key node for other great existences to infiltrate their power, and it is where the Heavenly Lord creates his own secret puppet. The true gods of Sequence 0 do not dare to intrude easily!
Lumian smiled:

"I will contact an important person in Mushu Hospital tonight to see if I can get any useful information."

…………

late at night.

Luo Shan still chose to lie down on the bed and try to fall asleep.

"I won't take a holiday unless the world explodes. Even if this is really a dream, I still have to go to work before the dream is shattered..." Luo Shan whispered a few words half to herself, half to comfort herself.

Then, she closed her eyes, and after a long time she finally suppressed her troubled thoughts and emotions and fell asleep.

This time, after she fell asleep, she did not immediately enter the "Shaman" world and continue to guard the translucent barrier. Instead, she became confused and dazed, just like when she slept before she became a Beyonder.

She vaguely heard a voice echoing in her ears:

"The real can become fake, the fake can become real, may the blessings of the Heavenly Master Xuan Huang be born...

"The real can become fake, the fake can become real, may the blessings of the Heavenly Master Xuan Huang be born..."

…………

At the edge of Hongyue Hospital, in a hidden corner where many mushrooms grow.

Lumian, who had transformed into the "Witch of Despair" and changed into a women's shirt, waited patiently for a while, and saw Green and a man suddenly appear not far ahead, as if they had walked into the real area from another world.

"Respected Son of God, this is Lv Yongan, the obstetrics director of Mushu Hospital." Green introduced his companion, "She is also your child."

Lu Yongan looks to be in her forties, with fair skin, pretty features and a face like a full moon. She looks gentle, amiable and quite maternal.

She was holding a medical kit in her hand and bowed to Lumian.
"Praise the Mother, and praise the Son of God."

The important person at Mushu Hospital that Lumian had said he wanted to meet was none other than the obstetrics director, Lu Yongan. Green kept his promise, and just after a week, he sent a message to Lumian, reminding him that he should go to provide reproductive assistance to Li Keji tonight, both in terms of mysticism and science.

Lumian was not in a hurry to abort the fetus in Li Keji's belly because he wanted to fool Green first so that he would not need to act to cover it up. After that, he would have at least two or three weeks to have an abortion.

Hearing Lu Yongan's greeting, Lumian, who had long black hair, nodded slightly and said:
"Come in and do your business first."

He was not eager to ask Lu Yongan about the internal affairs of Mushu Hospital.

This needs to be done slowly, with some preparation, and you need to think about what the Son of God should know and not need to ask.

"Yes, Son of God." Green and Lu Yongan straightened their expressions and responded in unison.

Lumian walked towards them and grabbed their shoulders.

Then, he activated the black mark on his right shoulder, used "Spirit World Shuttle", and appeared directly in Li Keji's ward.

Li Keji, touching his stomach and thinking about something, sat up straight. The jellyfish-shaped mushroom on the ceiling sank a little.

Seeing Li Keji looking at him with a little surprise, Lumian squeezed his left eye at him, suggesting that there was a reason for it and he should cooperate first.

Li Keji showed an expression of sudden enlightenment:
"Are you here to help me?"

Hearing this, Green couldn't help but turn his head and look at the Son of God's bright and beautiful face:
When did Li Keji get tricked?
——Both Green and Lu Yongan expected to use their abilities to control the target.

Lu Yongan carried a medical box, sat down beside Li Keji's bed, and began to examine him carefully.

After nearly a minute, she turned her head and said:
"The fetus is very healthy and developing very well and quickly."

Green immediately gave the Son of God a thumbs up and praised him again:

"As expected of you!"

Lumian had already become numb. He nodded slightly and watched intently as Lu Yongan took out a syringe, drew out some kind of medicine, and injected it into Li Keji's stomach.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yongan's maternal radiance became more obvious, and she began to caress Li Keji's belly with her hands.

Lumian saw that Li Keji's belly began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just one or two minutes, it was as if she was six months pregnant.

"I felt her heartbeat." Li Keji touched his belly again.

Lu Yongan put away his equipment and medicine, and smiled at Lumian:

"Son of God, if you do it again in two weeks, you will be in labor."

“Very good.” Lumian nodded insincerely.

I'll abort it soon! The sooner you abort it, the safer it will be!
"We'll leave first." Lumian winked at Li Keji again.

Then, he "teleported" Lu Yongan, who was walking back, and Green, who was right beside him, back to the previous hidden corner.

Lumian did not give Green and Lu Yongan a chance to say goodbye and leave. He looked at the latter and raised his chin slightly and said:
"What's the situation in Mushu Hospital?"

He planned to ask vaguely first, in the tone of a Son of God who wanted to get feedback from his subordinates, and then selectively ask in-depth questions based on Lu Yongan's answers.

Lu Yongan replied amiably and with obvious respect:

"The underground area is almost finished being renovated. Currently, there are only a few of us and those who frequently go in and out of the underground area above ground."

The underground is almost "renovated"? People who frequently go in and out of the underground are not considered human? Lumian raised an eyebrow.
