Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Faced with the sudden darkness, Jana's first reaction was to hide or hide in the shadows, but she finally controlled herself and did not show her extraordinary ability directly when the night fell and something unexpected happened.

She used her acting skills to pretend that she was an ordinary person now. When Yu Mingming could see her, she groped her way out of the bathroom and walked to the window.

After arriving in the living room, thanks to the infiltration of light pollution from outside, the outlines of furniture such as the coffee table and sofa were revealed. Jana's pace immediately quickened and she arrived at the window in a few seconds. Looking outside, she found that not only the high and low buildings in the distance were still brightly lit, but other buildings in the same community were not completely submerged in darkness.

Jana glanced down and felt that other floors seemed to have lights on.

"Is there a problem here? Hmm, is there a power outage?" Jana took out her mobile phone from the pocket of her jeans and wanted to call to ask Franca how to deal with the current situation.

She immediately remembered that she had to act independently in the next two days and could not contact her teammates, so she changed the call to search the Internet.

She used voice-to-text to input the phrase "What should I do if there is a power outage at home" unskillfully, and pressed the option that represented the search.

Then, she remembered Franca's instructions, skipped the previous search results, and read the following ones directly:

"The first thing to do when there is a power outage is to check the electrical box...

"The specific steps are..."

Janna looked for a while, and her brows gradually frowned:

It's so difficult!

These are all areas she doesn't understand.

While flipping through, she saw an answer:

"Contact the property management!"

"..."Janna was stunned, "Can it be like this? ”

When she checked in in the afternoon, she registered with the property management and added her number to the contact list.

She tried to call and reported the room number and the problem. The property management on duty said on the spot that the staff of the engineering department would come to deal with it immediately.

Soon, the doorbell rang, and the property management staff of the engineering department arrived at this floor with a tool bag on his back.

The moment he saw Jana, the property management staff's eyes lit up and his attitude became quite enthusiastic.

Janna let the other party into the room with extraordinary vigilance.

She was always on guard against abnormalities.

The property management staff quickly checked for a while and said:

"It's tripped."

After saying that, he pushed the switch, and the room suddenly regained light.

So simple? Jana did not let her ignorant side show.

After sending the property management staff away and closing the door again, she couldn't help but sighed:

"Life in the dream city is really convenient..."

"It's just that the property management fee is not cheap..."

Janna quickly washed up, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep like an ordinary person, but the string in her mind was always tight and did not relax.

In a daze, her spiritual intuition brought a warning.

She woke up and found herself floating in the air of the community in the form of a star spirit.

There are many spirits wandering here, and they all seem to be residents of DeChuang Garden. The layers of storms in the sky solidify, completely covering this area, forming a translucent barrier around it.

There is a figure standing near the barrier. It is Luo Shan, who is wearing a light green light dress and has brown hair. In front of Luo Shan, one strange figure after another emerged from the depths of the darkness, constantly rushing towards the solidified storm and the translucent barrier, trying to enter the "community".

Some of those figures were half human and half snake, with delicate women above the waist and thick python tails covered with slippery scales below the waist. Some looked like shrunken humans embedded between the wings of an owl, with sharp claws. Some were young naked women with long hair, showing off their full bodies...

Faced with the invasion of these strange creatures, Luo Shan took out a thicker oil painting brush and quickly painted a pattern on the translucent barrier.

She painted the sun surrounding the flying birds.

As soon as this simple painting was formed, the sun inside shone with golden and brilliant light, making the monsters close their eyes at the same time.

Then, the flying birds burned with golden flames, flew out of the translucent barrier, and flew towards different monsters.

Seeing this scene, Jana was shocked and had strong doubts:

The current situation is not what she expected.

Roshan seemed to be fighting against those strange creatures, preventing them from entering the spiritual world corresponding to De Chuang Garden, and looked like a guardian.

But the ability she showed clearly belonged to "painter", which was a gift from the evil god of "Fantasy Society"!

"Roshan should cooperate with those strange creatures to invade the corresponding spiritual world of the community, why is she guarding the barrier instead?

"Besides, in Xinhong Community before, Lumian, Franca and Anthony, did not find any similar strange creature invasions... Is it the change brought about by Lumian's formal contact with Mr. Fool's dream image, or is it that DeChuang Garden itself has a certain peculiarity?" Janna was puzzled, and seeing that Roshan's guarding was still stable, she suppressed the idea of ​​providing help and pretended to be the same as the astral bodies of other residents, wandering in the barrier in a daze.

And so, until dawn.

…………

Xinhong Community, in the rental house.

Franca, who got up early because of her concern for Janna, saw Lumian, who was on duty, bring a small cage placed on the shoe cabinet to the dining table, and there was a gray-white mouse in it.

——Ludwig’s presence made the rats, cockroaches and other creatures in this rental house extinct. In order to test the effect of the magic potion drink, Lumian and others deliberately wandered around the community before dark yesterday and finally caught one.

Franka sat down and saw Lumian put on gloves, caught the rat that was huddled in fear under Ludwig’s watchful eyes, and fed it the bottle of Insomniac drink.

The rat just took a sip, and the subsequent drink flooded into its body like a flood, without caring whether it could hold so much.

In just a blink of an eye, the rat suddenly swelled up, and the gray and white short hair stood up like a hedgehog, stained black.

Its armpits, chest and abdomen, blood and flesh squirmed, as if it was about to grow new legs and feet.

Out of control? Such a thought flashed through Lumian and Franka’s minds at the same time.

Ludwig opened his mouth in surprise and swallowed the mutated rat into his mouth at once.

Chewing, chewing, chewing, he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

"Will there be any problem eating like this?" Franka looked at Ludwig with a little concern.

This food has extraordinary properties!

Ludwig replied vaguely:

"It doesn't have any digestive properties. At present, it's just stored..."

Lumian nodded, picked up the empty bottle of the Insomniac drink and said:

"This is really a magic potion."

Franka said "hmm" with emotion:

"Every time it's like this, I have the real feeling that this is a dream."

Daily life is too real!

Looking up at the morning sky, Franca asked Lumian carefully:

"You go to the interview in the morning, and go to redeem the lottery ticket in the afternoon?"

"You go to redeem it in the morning." Lumian said with a smile before Franca asked, "but leave the lottery ticket with me."

Franca suddenly realized:

"You mean, the bad luck of difficulty in redeeming the prize or the rejection of the dream tendency is concentrated on the lottery ticket, not on us?

"Yes, if the rejection from the Heavenly Venerable can accurately point to us, we have been kicked out of the dream.

"Well, Anthony and I will go to the lottery center without the lottery ticket, just like a tour. When it comes to the step of providing the lottery ticket, you will send the lottery ticket through the mirror world and complete the prize redemption before the rejection event occurs?"

"Yes, and this is also to verify whether the dream tendency you guessed really exists. If it does, what is the law of operation." Lumian nodded gently.

…………

After breakfast, Lumian changed into a white shirt and black trousers, took the resume and other materials he printed yesterday, took the lottery ticket, and took public transportation to the Technology Building where the Intis Group was located. Franca drove Anthony and Ludwig to the lottery center.

In front of the Technology Building, Lumian looked up at the old 16-story building, mixed in with the white-collar workers, and walked in openly.

He had a smooth journey along the way, and there were no accidents such as bus breakdowns and traffic accidents due to carrying the lottery ticket - his destination was in the opposite direction of the lottery center.

Lumian did not rush to the interview. He came to the display board with information about different floors and looked at the company composition of the building:

The property rights of this building belong to the Intis Group. The first to fifth floors are allocated to some subsidiaries of the Intis Group. The sixth to ninth floors are rented out to other companies. Half of the tenth floor belongs to the head office of the Intis Group, and the other half is rented to "Aurora Company". The eleventh and twelfth floors are also rented out. The thirteenth to fifteenth floors are other departments of the head office of the Intis Group. The sixteenth floor is exclusively for Huang Tao, the dream image of Emperor Roselle.

"It is indeed the same as Franka said. There are obvious problems with this building... The Intis Group can obviously call back some departments and subsidiaries and occupy the sixteen floors alone. Why did it rent out some of them? Moreover, the administrative department and technical department of the head office actually share a floor with "Aurora Company"... In Franka's words, something is wrong, twelve out of ten are wrong..." Lumian thought seriously.

When she got the information about the technology building, Franka felt something was wrong after just one look:

This is not the same as what she remembered.

Lumian pondered for more than ten seconds and said to himself silently:

"Is this a symbol?

"This building symbolizes the Republic of Intis, and some floors are rented out to symbolize the infiltration of cults and different forces into the Republic of Intis? Is this Mr. Fool's impression of the Republic of Intis? "

Lumian did not stay for too long, retracted his gaze, and walked into the elevator.

From time to time, he glanced at the mirror formed by the metal, waiting for Franca or Anthony to ring his cell phone a few times.

As the numbers representing the floors where the elevator stopped slowly changed, there was another person beside Lumian.

He was a middle-aged man with chestnut hair, very handsome and fashionable.

Boss Huang? Lumian saw the figure from the corner of his eye and recognized his identity.

That was the dream image of Emperor Roselle, the boss of Intis Group, Boss Huang Tao, who often did not take the exclusive elevator and came to squeeze the elevator with employees!
