Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

At first glance, Franka found that the Star Dream Grocery Store really looked like an antique store in the northern continent, and it had very obvious mystical elements.

The only things that didn't match this style were the shelves themselves, the mobile phone the shop owner was playing with, and the tablet computer in front of him.

"Good morning, ma'am, we're here to pick up the letter." Lumian walked to the cashier and said politely.

The shop owner, who was wearing a black dress and playing with her mobile phone, took out a letter from under the cashier and put it on the cashier.

"Thank you." Lumian reached out and took it without opening the letter on the spot.

Franka pointed to the brass book:

"Ma'am, can I flip through that book?"

"Yes." The shop owner in the black dress didn't look up, nor did she tell Franka not to damage the antique.

Franka walked briskly to the shelf on the right and picked up the brass-like book.

The cover of the item was cold and hard, and it was indeed made of metal.

Franka quickly flipped through it and found that it was still paper inside, blank.

Nothing special... Franka muttered in her heart.

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw lines of text on the blank pages, but these words disappeared in a flash, so fast that even the "witch" could not catch the specific content.

Am I dazzled? Franka waited patiently for 20 or 30 seconds, and waited for new words to appear on the brass book, but she still couldn't see any word clearly before the corresponding content disappeared.

In this case, even the method of "dream divination" afterwards could not recall the specific picture.

Sure enough, there is something strange... Franka said secretly, and put the brass book back to its original position.

At the same time, she glanced at the back of the shelf from the corner of her eye, and a dark green figure flashed by.

It was a snake with white feathers and small wings!

Franka was startled, instinctively stepped back two steps, turned sideways, and reminded the owner:

"Boss, there is a snake in your store!"

Be careful!

"Don't be afraid." The shopkeeper in a black dress raised her head and showed her beautiful face, "That's my pet."

"Is that so..." Franca breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Lumian out with Janna and Anthony who were wandering around the grocery store, and returned to the gray car parked nearby, using frost to forcibly reduce the high temperature in the car caused by the sun.

After sitting in the driver's seat, Franca frowned slightly and said:

"The snake I saw just now looks very similar to the feathered serpent of the 'God of Death' path, um, a smaller and harmless version.

"The shopkeeper won't keep a mythical creature of the 'God of Death' path as a pet, right?"

The complete mythical creature represents the level of angels!

Lumian opened the letter in his hand and said calmly:

"It's not impossible. Except for people with special items and special connections, those who can enter the dream are at least true gods."

This... We were dealing with a true god just now? He also answered my question? Franca was astonished, and saw a person with a lot of bags walked to the driver's seat and knocked on the car window.

"What's the matter? "Franka rolled down the car window cautiously.

The man looked ordinary, with a smile on his face, and handed the things in his hand to Franka:

"Want to buy? The latest bugs and pinhole cameras."

"..."Franka's mouth moved, "Brother, you are breaking the law."

The man wanted to continue selling, but was rejected by Franka with a stern face.

After closing the car window, Franka started the car, and Lumian checked the replies from the major arcana, mainly written by Ms. "Magician".

At this time, Franka suddenly froze:

"Don't worry, first confirm whether there are bugs and pinhole cameras installed in the car. ”

When everyone was suppressed to Sequence 7, relying on the spirituality and divination of the "witches" could indeed effectively prevent eavesdropping and peeping in the mysticism, but they had completely ignored the scientific level before!

Lumian and Janna could understand the functions of the bug and the pinhole camera respectively. One relied on the observation ability of the "hunter" to quickly find abnormal traces, and the other confirmed the situation in this regard by asking her own spirituality "magic mirror divination".

"No." Janna gave the result of her divination.

"No, it's good." Franka breathed a sigh of relief, "We must remember to beware of scientific means in the future. Fortunately, the big brother who sold contraband just now reminded me, otherwise I might suffer from it at any time! Uh..."

Speaking of this, Franka cast her eyes on the rearview mirror.

She saw the man who sold the bug and the pinhole camera just now turned the corner and disappeared at the end of the road.

"It can't be a friendly force? Come to remind us on purpose? "Franka said to herself sharply.

Lumian was silent for a few seconds and said:

"It should be."

"Who could it be?" Franka looked at the road ahead, paying more attention to driving.

Not long after, she parked the car in a roadside parking space diagonally opposite the police station.

Lumian used frost to create a medium-sized screen, and displayed the reply from the major arcana cards on this mirror for easy viewing:

"It has been confirmed that the extraordinary characteristics, related materials and special mirror world fragments of the "Desperate Witch" you have obtained are all real.

"Don't get excited yet, this doesn't mean that every extraordinary person in the dream city can deduce extraordinary characteristics, only those who enter directly with their own consciousness like you can.

"In other words, if you die in the dream city, affected by the 'deception', your body in the real world will also die and precipitate extraordinary characteristics. After this is fed back to the dream city, the extraordinary characteristics will be 'grafted' to the recipient, achieving the deception effect of falsehood becoming true and true becoming false.

"You should have understood what I mean. The resurrected female corpse is equivalent to the entry of real consciousness.

"What's her name and her origin? You can ask Ludwig. I'll just briefly explain. She was once the secret doll of the Celestial Lord, and she is still the secret doll now. Don't ask why. Don't ask about the high-level things of the 'Fortune Teller' and 'Thief'. In short, with the help of this connection and the identity that Mr. 'Fool' subconsciously wove for her in the dream, she entered this dream and was given a new life by the 'Great Mother'. She has humanity and consciousness that is not like a secret doll.

"Back to the question of the extraordinary characteristics, if you use it to mix potions and hold ceremonies in the dream city and become a demigod, your body in the real world will also become a demigod. Remember, under the influence of abilities such as 'Fool', a false dream may become a real reality, or it may make what you think is real become a false thing.

"Moreover, the Dream City is currently limited to the Sequence 7 level, and the mental effects of the potion and the minimum requirements of the ritual will also be suppressed to this level. For example, the plague that originally needed to infect 30,000 people and bring them pain and despair may now only need to infect 300 people. Going to the bottom of the Mushu Hospital to take a risk may complete the ritual.

"Do you have a thought of "this is also possible?" But I want to tell you that all the gifts of fate have been secretly marked with a price. There are very big hidden dangers in this way to promote to the "Desperate Witch". You need to solve great difficulties in the future to truly be considered a Sequence 4 demigod.

"Think about it, in the Dream City, the various problems caused by your taking the demigod potion are actually limited to Sequence 7, so you can bear it more easily, and you can use the Sequence 7 level ritual to assist in the promotion, but after leaving the dream and returning to reality, the problems suppressed at Sequence 7 will get rid of the deception and instantly return to the Sequence 4 level. At that time, the corresponding people may be directly out of control.

"Of course, this is not unsolvable, but it is more difficult, not as simple as holding a complete ceremony in reality.

"There is only one solution we can think of now, which is to completely digest the Sequence 4 potion before leaving the dream and before this dream no longer lasts. This digestion will be grafted into reality, so that most of the hidden dangers suppressed at the Sequence 7 level can be resolved in advance. When I return to reality, I will be a Sequence 4 demigod in good condition. Reality is truly fooled at this moment.

"The difficulty of this method is that how long the dream can last and when you will be locked by the Heavenly Venerate and kicked out directly are not something you can decide. It is full of unknown risks. It is very difficult to get a good opportunity and enough time to digest the potion. "

Seeing this, Franka, Lumian and others looked at each other, speechless.

Can it be like this?

They originally thought that they and others used the false angel status and the sealed angel to simply act and quickly digest the potion, which was already the limit of taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules. Who knew that after reading these words "fooling" and "grafting", they felt that their brains were fooled.

In the dream, you can really be promoted...

The potion was fooled, the ritual was fooled, the spirit was fooled, and the boundary between falsehood and reality was also fooled...

Of course, it is also possible that only you are fooled, thinking that you have really completed the promotion and really become a demigod, but in fact you just have hysteria...

Hahaha, you are all fooled! You are all fooled! Franka couldn't help but go crazy in her heart.

"Is this the horror of the great beings?" Janna took a breath.

Lumian laughed softly:

"Many things that we think are unbreakable and unchangeable may just be the playthings of the great beings. "

"If you want to roll it into a round shape, roll it into a round shape. If you want to flatten it, flatten it..." Franca muttered a few words.

With the help of this letter, they truly and truly felt what a great existence is.

They continued to read the letter displayed on the ice crystal screen:

"After reading the previous part, did you have such an idea:

"In the future, when Mr. Fool wakes up, can we ask him to use similar dreams to help reduce the difficulty of rituals and promotions, so that those in need can become demigods, and give them enough time to digest the potion in their dreams?

"First of all, we must make it clear that it is difficult for Mr. Fool to do it alone, because such real dreams, which allow fools to confuse false and real dreams, come from other fields.

"Secondly, not every demigod can eventually digest their own potions. They will live in dreams all their lives. Moreover, if their dream cognition is not restored to the level of Sequence 4, their lifespan will be suppressed to the corresponding low-middle sequence. However, if their dream cognition is restored to Sequence 4, the problems hidden in them due to deception will erupt again.

"Thirdly, is it really appropriate to cause Mr. Fool to sleep for several years, more than ten years, or even dozens or hundreds of years in order to help a Beyonder ascend?

"Finally, many potions will be played in an evil way. If you really create a large-scale plague in Mr. Fool's dream, not to mention that the Heavenly Venerable will easily detect it, Mr. Fool will be the first to kick you out."

Why do I feel like the "magician" lady is implying something to me... I really didn't think about it. This dream is just like reality, not like a game at all. How could I have antisocial thoughts? Even if it's a game, I used to stop being a human because I got tired of playing the normal way... Franca muttered.
