Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian saw this and didn't force it. After all, Xu Xinyang was still responsible for paying the bills. He couldn't help him pay for it, right?

He hadn't received his first month's salary yet!

Lumian immediately called the colleagues who had fallen down at the beginning and were now recovering, and arranged for them to send different drunks home nearby. If there was no one on the way, he would call their families and ask them to pick them up.

After finishing this matter, Lumian pulled over a chair and sat down. He drank two sips of strong liquor as a drink, and the foreheads of the colleagues who remained sober jumped.

Is this the reincarnation of a wine jar?

Looking at the still lively hall outside, Lumian took out his mobile phone idly, replied to messages, and checked hot spots.

As he watched, he found that there were many more "wine"-related contents pushed to him, including but not limited to "which brand of liquor tastes good", "beer tasting", "legal liability for accidents caused by persuading people to drink", "civil compensation for sudden death due to alcoholism by people drinking at the same table", "wine is a carcinogen"...

Is this a form of surveillance? Lumian slid his thumb across the screen thoughtfully.

When the last drunkard was taken away, he stood up, left the hot pot restaurant, searched for the location of Xinhong Community, and found that it was only a little over two kilometers away.

Lumian decided to walk back.

It was past eight o'clock, and the sky had darkened. The hot wind brought a bit of freshness. The street lights on both sides were bright, and there were many pedestrians passing by each other without affecting each other.

Lumian experienced this state of blending into the crowd and then withdrawing from it, and his spirit gradually relaxed and relaxed.

He walked past the store playing old songs, the crowd dancing to the dynamic melody, and the lively bar street, and heard the sound of "rushing" coming from inside.

Back in the rental house, Lumian saw Ludwig in the kitchen, standing on a small folding stool, busy making food, while Anthony sat next to the dining table, writing down the observations of the day.

His task was to continue to observe Zhou Mingrui and those who were close to Zhou Mingrui, to see if they showed any abnormalities after contacting Lumian, Franca or Janna, and whether there were any detailed changes.

Seeing Lumian coming back, Anthony looked up and said:

"He had to do it himself.

"He felt that preparing early supper for himself was more enjoyable than reading textbooks and doing homework."

"More humane." Lumian laughed.

Not long after he sat down, the door was opened, and Franca and Janna appeared at the door.

"There is an emergency, and we need to get together to communicate and learn from each other." Franca explained the purpose of her visit in a concise manner.

Her contact with Zhou Mingrui today was the kind that only left a certain impression, and there were experimental results, which would not cause her to be kicked out of the dream or restricted.

So, before taking further action, she could meet with Lumian and the others in secret.

-She and Janna took a taxi to one stop away and sneaked here in the shadows.

"What's the matter? "Lumian sat up slightly straighter.

"I'm going to have a private dinner with Zhou Mingrui tomorrow night, thanks to Luo Shan!" Franca pulled open a chair and sat down, and asked Lumian excitedly and nervously, "Will this affect your experimental arrangements?"

"A little, but it's not a big problem. First make a big step and try it, then go back and eliminate possibilities one by one. This is also one of the experimental methods." Lumian thought for a few seconds and said.

Franca breathed a sigh of relief:

"Then let's discuss how to hint to Zhou Mingrui. This must be a certain progress compared to the previous one, but it can't be excessive, otherwise it will not be possible to eliminate the options, and then we have to take the risk of making a second attempt. ”

Lumian said “hmm”, gave several ideas from the perspective of a “conspirator”, and evaluated Franca’s plan and rhetoric, while Janna helped to fill in the gaps as an “instigator”.

Anthony was responsible for figuring out Zhou Mingrui’s possible psychological activities and instinctive reactions, and even played Zhou Mingrui during the rehearsal.

After 20 to 30 minutes of discussion, Franca finally had two feasible plans that were likely to achieve her goals.

“It’s really necessary to brainstorm!” She sighed sincerely.

Janna turned to talk about her experience of selling paintings at the Star Dream Grocery Store, without missing any details.

Hearing the end, Franca thoughtfully took out the extraordinary characteristics obtained from the resurrected female corpse Panatia from the “traveler’s bag”.

She showed it and quickly stuffed it back:

“Can this thing be sold to the Star Dream Grocery Store?

"We can't use it for the time being anyway, so why not exchange it for money and find a way to rent useful items. After that, no matter whether the mission is successful or not, the cards of the Great Arca should reimburse or help redeem it."

"You can try, but I think that person is unlikely to accept it." Lumian also took out an item from the "Traveler's Bag".

It was a corpse oil candle obtained from the "Blue Avenger".

Looking at this pale yellow and red semi-solidified candle, Lumian thought and said:

"We have discussed before that the "witch" may have symbolic meaning and special functions in the dream city. Now I want to say that the "hunter" may also have symbolic meaning and special functions: I am a "hunter", the first person killed is the messenger of God, he is also a "hunter", and Anderson, who is obviously abnormal now, is also a "hunter".

"Under this premise, the items related to the "witch" and "hunter" may come in handy later, and it is impossible to predict which one it will be. It is highly likely that the person will not accept it, and will let us continue to hold it and wait for the opportunity.

"Well, we can give it a try. If He doesn't accept it, my speculation will be initially verified."

Janna, Franca and Anthony all nodded thoughtfully.

The four of them took out a lot of items with mystical elements that they had not used recently, and planned to let Jana take them to the Star Dream Grocery Store to sell them the next day.

Looking at these things, Jana pondered for a few seconds and said:

"That person is a true god... Sending such a bunch of very messy and high-valued items to him, doesn't it feel like not respecting Him?"

Anthony nodded and agreed with Jana's statement.

Franca followed and said:

"Yes, it feels like He is a waste collector..."

As she spoke, Franca fell silent, and so did Lumian and others.

In the end, they only chose three items with higher values.

After discussing everything, Franca stood up, stretched her arms and said:

"I am a little excited and nervous when I think about the actual hint of Mr. Fool's dream image tomorrow night."

"What time is your appointment tomorrow night?" Lumian asked.

"Seven o'clock. Roshan said that the technical guys rarely get off work on time, so we have to leave some extra time." Franca also mentioned the place for the dinner.

It's also seven o'clock... Lumian raised his right hand and stroked his chin.

At this time, Janna said carefully:

"Don't be too nervous, because you may not be able to successfully make a dinner appointment. I see those sharing on the Internet, and there are often cases where the boyfriend or girlfriend who is busy with work has to work overtime and has to cancel the appointment even though the time and place of the appointment are clearly set."

"It is possible..." Franca was a little dumbfounded for a moment.

…………

The next morning, Janna came to the Star Dream Grocery Store again.

She still took an online taxi, but this time there was no obstruction and no abnormality.

Walking to the cashier deep in the Star Dream Grocery Store, Janna asked politely:

"Do you accept this item?"

She put the extraordinary characteristics of the resurrected female corpse Panatia on the cashier.

In the slightly darkened environment, the shopkeeper raised his head, took a look, shook his head and said:

"I won't accept this."

Really not accepting it...Does it need to be made into an item, or as Lumian speculated, the things in the "Witch" and "Hunter" paths will be important in the future? After Janna put away Panatia's extraordinary characteristics, she took out the corpse oil candle in a small glass bottle:

"Will you accept this?"

"I won't accept it either." There was no impatience on the shopkeeper's beautiful face.

I won't accept items either...Janna put away the corpse oil candle thoughtfully.

Then, she took out an item from the "Traveler's Bag".

It was a set of silver-white full-body armor.

"Arrogant Armor"!

Janna did not hide the characteristics of the "Traveler's Bag" and placed the "Arrogant Armor" sideways in front of the cashier.

The next second, she noticed a faint smile on the shopkeeper's face.

Almost at the same time, the "Arrogant Armor" moved.

It was like a crab, lying sideways, and ran towards the entrance of the Star Dream Grocery Store amid the sound of metal armor plates colliding.

However, the silver-white full-body armor was running slower and slower, and gradually turned straight.

When it had two or three steps to go out, it completely stopped and did not move.

It seemed to have turned into an ordinary armor.

At this time, Janna and the store owner were behind it, facing it.

It did not react at all.

Janna was stunned and heard the store owner say with a smile:

"This item is accepted.

"It's still 30,000. ”

Items like the “Arrogant Armor” can really be sold... However, why did the “Arrogant Armor” react so strongly just now, and why is it not even dealing with the people behind it now? Although Janna was puzzled, she did not dare to ask.

…………

Lumian, who learned that he would be rotated to the middle shift next week, returned to the rental house.

He went out at six in the evening and arrived at the gate of Jinxiu Oriental Community on Sifang Street half an hour early.

He had to survey the environment first, as he might need it later.

As Lumian's eyes swept, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

It was wearing a black T-shirt, www.youxs.org.

Anderson also saw Lumian, came over, and said with a smile:

"I am used to arriving early."

Lumian smiled back:

"Me too."

Anderson nodded:

"Since you are here early, let's go visit earlier.

"The friend you are talking about is indeed yourself."

"If you think so, I can't help it." Lumian did not argue, with a smile on his face.

Anderson didn't care. He turned around and led him into the Jinxiu Oriental community.
