Ring of Fate

Chapter 998 Dream?
"Mother……"

"Mother……"

Lumian heard cries coming from the darkness around him, mournful and pitiful, as if scratching at his heart and soul.

Suddenly, a black flame suppressing madness and destruction ignited on Lumian's body.

The flames spread in all directions, burning the darkness and everything hidden in the darkness.

The cries suddenly became sharp and then quickly disappeared.

Lumian sneered:

"If you call me 'Dad', I might even feel a little reluctant and loving, but, 'Mom'? Who are you trying to appease?"

As soon as he said this to himself, the darkness around him shattered into pieces.

Lumian then woke up, opened his eyes, and saw the ceiling with a chandelier hanging on it, hidden in the deep night.

"Were you dreaming just now?

"The fetus in Li Keji's belly died at the hands of her 'mother', and she couldn't let go of her resentment, so she entangled me, and I burned her completely?
"Your 'mother' is Omibella. What does that have to do with me, Lumian?"

Lumian muttered a few words, reached for his phone, selected "Intis Group Green", and used voice input:
"I heard the cry of my child, who had met with a disaster that led to his death.

"Someone must be helping Li Keji to have an abortion."

After sending this WeChat message, Lumian copied the corresponding content and sent it to Lu Yongan.

In just ten or twenty seconds, Lu Yongan replied:

"Shall we rush to Red Moon Hospital now?"

Lumian put the phone to his lips, shook his head and said:
“It’s too late, it’s over.

"If we rush over, we may fall into a trap set by the enemy.

"Since the situation is irreversible, let's wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Once we are sure there is no ambush around Li Keji, we will investigate the situation, find the saboteurs, and find a way to remedy the situation."

"The Son of God is wise." Lu Yongan replied in a literary manner.

At this time, Green also responded, expressing the same meaning as Lu Yongan, and Lumian chose to copy and paste what he said.

After comforting Green, Lumian was about to fall asleep again when he saw a new message from Lu Yongan:
"Shenzi, I just saw a man standing outside the hospital at the window."

"Who?" Lumian understood that the reason why Lu Yongan said this was that he must know that person, or he was very important.

After a few seconds, Lu Yongan replied:
"It's Zhou Mingrui."

Zhou Mingrui? He was so active that he knew the body of the messenger appeared in the morgue in the basement of Mushu Hospital during the day, but he wanted to sneak in to investigate at night? Wasn't this too reckless? Or was he just doing a preliminary observation first? Lumian was alert and no longer sleepy.

He put the phone to his mouth again and used voice input method:

"Don't worry about it for now. Let me know when Zhou Mingrui is admitted to the hospital."

…………

Outside Mushu Hospital, Zhou Mingrui, still wearing his sky blue T-shirt, pretended to make a phone call while casually looking around, focusing on the emergency center.

After learning about Danizi's death and confirming relevant details with the help of public reports, Zhou Mingrui felt that there seemed to be major problems with Mushu Hospital, especially the underground morgue.

So, when it got dark, he took a taxi here, pretending to go to the emergency room, but actually walked around the Mushu Hospital to see if he could find anything.

He hadn't thought about investigating the underground morgue today. He didn't intend to take a potentially big risk before collecting certain information.

While Zhou Mingrui said words like "OK", "No problem", "Okay", "Okay", "That's it", etc., his eyes swept across the emergency center, over the patients and their families coming in and out, and could not see any problems.

In fact, this was not his first time to go to Mushu Hospital. He had been there twice before for medical treatment because it was one of the hospitals closest to Intis Group and his residence, and it had only been open for a few years. There were not many people in either the emergency room or the outpatient department, so he did not have to wait in line for too long, nor did he have to worry about not being able to make an appointment online.

——He felt that the district hospital closer to where he lived was not very reliable, while the other established hospitals were crowded with people.

"The only difference from the last time I came here is that Mushu Hospital is becoming more and more famous, and more and more people come to see the doctor... It was a good thing that I listened to heavy metal before and had a health problem, but I thought there were not many people here, so I could come here to see the doctor. Fortunately, I recovered halfway..." Zhou Mingrui remembered the experience of going to the emergency room more than half a year ago, and also remembered that he took sick leave to go to Mushu Hospital a few weeks ago, but his illness was cured before the car reached the destination.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea:
"That sick leave caused me to miss the official meeting with Zarathustra...

“And I didn’t actually go to Mushu Hospital…

“Is it not a coincidence that I heard the song ‘Impact’ at that time, a song with a melody and sound mixed with occult power?
"Does this mean that there is something wrong with Zarathustra and Mushu Hospital?
"But I came here half a year ago and nothing happened, and I didn't find anything unusual...

"Are the problems at Mushu Hospital gradually getting worse?"

Zhou Mingrui muttered to himself as he looked up from the emergency center to the entire building.

Suddenly, he heard his own heartbeat.

"thump!
"thump!"

Zhou Mingrui felt an inexplicable fear, which made his heart feel as if it was being squeezed hard by an invisible hand, causing it to beat faster and faster uncontrollably.

"thump!
"thump!"

He felt that the building seemed to contain the thing he feared and dreaded the most, as if it was the source of his fear.

"There is really a problem..." Zhou Mingrui's pupils dilated rapidly.

He also came to the emergency room at night half a year ago and also looked at the main building of Mushu Hospital, but at that time he had no feeling that there was anything scary hiding inside.

Zhou Mingrui calmed himself down, closed his eyes, and regulated his breathing.

After his heartbeat calmed down, he looked at the building of Mushu Hospital again.

"thump!
"thump!"

He once again experienced the sudden outburst of fear and instinctively believed that deep inside Mushu Hospital there was something he was unwilling to face or afraid to encounter.

Zhou Mingrui subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but he finally endured it.

"First make a preliminary observation, first make a preliminary observation...

"Escape will not solve the problem, escape will not solve the problem..."

While talking to himself, Zhou Mingrui's right hand, which was not holding the phone, drooped naturally, clenched and unclenched, and then clenched and unclenched again.

Ten seconds later, he pretended to hang up the phone, walked towards the door of the emergency center.

…………

DeChuang Garden, room 2303.

After Franca and Janna fell asleep, they woke up quickly.

This was bound to happen when an extraordinary person entered Roshan's "shamanic" world, and neither of them was surprised.

But the next second, what came into their eyes was not the solidified storm, wandering astral bodies and translucent barriers, but a dimly lit corridor.

The walls of the corridor were painted white, with a hint of green under the dim light.

"Where is this?" Franca blurted out in surprise.

Why did Luo Shan’s “shaman” world disappear?
While Jana was surprised, she thought of a possibility:
"Did something happen to Luo Shan? Is it because she confirmed that Huang Jiajia and the others were even more false?"

That brought Roxanne one step closer to confronting the fact that this was a dream.

"But didn't Anthony say that Roxanne's emotions have stabilized?
"What kind of stimulation did you feel after returning home?" Franca responded puzzledly.

"No matter what, we need to find Roshan first. This might be the 'Shaman' world after the mutation." Janna looked around and listened attentively.

Faced with a situation that was different from the usual, Franka instinctively put her hand into the "traveler's bag", preparing to take out her extraordinary items.

Suddenly, she froze:
"wrong!"

Seeing Janna's gaze, Franca said seriously:
"The 'Traveler's Bag' is still there, and so are the items inside."

Janna's eyes froze instantly, and she understood what Franca wanted to say:
Only the celestial spirit can enter the "shaman" world where Roshan fights monsters, and the celestial spirit obviously will not carry the "traveler's bag" and corresponding items. Even if it does, it is just an illusion in dreams and has no actual ability!
"Isn't this Luo Shan's 'Shaman' world? What on earth have we encountered?" Janna frowned.

She tried to use meditation to escape from here and let the astral body return to her body.

But it had no effect.

"We are not astral spirits traveling into Roxanne's dream or the 'Shaman' world. We were directly transferred to this place." Franca gave her own conclusion. "Why? I don't feel anything at all..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard Luo Shan's voice coming from a room in front of her:
"No, no, I refuse!"

After a few seconds, the door of the room was opened and Luo Shan rushed out in her pajamas.

Luo Shan saw Franca and Janna, stopped, and asked in surprise:
"Are you there too?"

Franca and Janna first lowered their heads and examined their clothes, and found that they were all nightgowns. Then the former said to Roxanne:
"Where is this? Why can't we be here?"

"This is my dream...I dreamed about you?" Luo Shan looked confused and puzzled.

Franca and Janna looked at each other and asked carefully:

"What did you dream about?"

"I dreamed of someone whispering strange words in my ear. I dreamed of many fragmented scenes, including a pregnant woman with a bulging belly. The flesh on her face and one of her eyes seemed to have been torn off. There were tumors on both sides of her shoulders that looked like heads. There was also a man whose heart had been dug out. There were also the sounds of babies crying...

"Finally, I dreamed of a corridor like this. I dreamed that I was in a room, and a voice said to me..." Luo Shan, who was recalling the dream, suddenly stopped.

"What?" Janna demanded.

Luo Shan hesitated for a few seconds and said:

"She said that she could help me replace the fake me with the real me outside. That way, even if the dream is shattered, I can still live realistically...

"I, I can't accept it. How could I, how could I harm an innocent person?"

Hearing Roxanne's words, Franka and Janna's pupils dilated at the same time.

The former swallowed hard and said:

"Do you remember the strange words at the beginning of the dream?"

Luo Shan tried her best to recall:
"It seems like, it seems like 'The truth can become false, the false can become true, may the blessings of the Heavenly Master Xuanhuang be born...'"

At this moment, Janna and Franca seemed to have turned into statues.

Franka suddenly "woke up" and said in a deep voice:

"Hurry up and confirm where this place is!"

"Isn't this my dream..." Luo Shan whispered.

"Are you usually this lucid in your dreams?" Janna asked, looking for recognizable signs.

"Yeah..." As Roxanne was puzzled and talking to herself, Franca and Janna simultaneously noticed a bulletin board on the wall in front of them.

The two of them took a step forward and rushed over. With the help of the dim light, they saw four large characters somewhere on the notice board:
"Mushu Hospital".
