Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Janna did not really go to Xinhong Community to find Lumian and Ludwig, but chose a hotel nearby and opened a room to see if she would be kicked out.

Nothing happened that night. After waking up, she immediately returned to DeChuang Garden and sat in a corner of the lobby, facing the door leading to the community.

After more than ten minutes, she saw Franca.

Franca was still wearing old-fashioned black-framed glasses and dressed in a relatively conservative office girl.

Seeing this, Jane breathed a sigh of relief, changed her sitting posture, turned her back to Franca, and did not meet her.

Her purpose of getting up early and returning to the community was to confirm whether the current "Luo Fu"'s style of behavior was consistent with that of the previous Franca. If the other party removed the disguise and put on the makeup and clothes that most highlighted her characteristics, so that the charm of the "witch" could be displayed to the greatest extent, she would have to consider finding an excuse to stop "Luo Fu" from going to work and delay her for a day.

Now it seems that the style of the NPC "Luo Fu" will continue for some time.

Technology Building, tenth floor

Franka sat down and slowly made herself a cup of coffee.

At this time, she saw Zhou Mingrui come in, so she smiled and said:

"Looking for Luo Shan? She hasn't come yet."

"I thought you would come together." Zhou Mingrui did not hide his surprise.

In his opinion, Luo Shan and Luo Fu had a good relationship, both on the surface and in secret, and had a special connection. They should be the type of people who would wait for each other and go to work together.

Franka smiled and said:

"I asked her, and she said she was delayed by something, so I didn't have to wait for her."

"Is that so..." Zhou Mingrui nodded and turned to walk outside the administrative department.

During this period, he came to Luo Shan to inquire about various company news more frequently than before, which led to some idle people in the administrative department spreading rumors about him and Luo Shan.

Zhou Mingrui walked to the door of the administrative department at a moderate pace, and did not wait for Luo Fu to ask him to wait.

The person he came to see today was not Luo Shan, but Luo Fu. He originally thought that the other party would take this opportunity to hint at something, but who knew that Luo Fu didn't even want to chat with him, and was a little strange in her politeness.

Zhou Mingrui frowned slightly, without turning back to look, and left the administrative department directly.

"It feels a bit wrong..." He just muttered in his heart, and saw Luo Shan coming over with a pancake and a cup of five-grain soy milk.

"Good morning." Luo Shan greeted cheerfully.

"Good morning." Zhou Mingrui smiled, "I just went to look for you, but you haven't come yet. Luo Fu said you were delayed."

Luo Shan glanced around:

"What do you want to ask me about again?"

The two chatted for a few words and walked to their own departments' offices.

Suddenly, Zhou Mingrui's phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from Luo Shan, who was just chatting:

"Don't talk to Luo Fu about anything today, wait until tomorrow."

When Zhou Mingrui saw this message, he thought that the relationship between the two girls suddenly broke down and they began to gang up to try to isolate each other, but after reading it carefully again, he came to a preliminary conclusion:

"Luo Shan means that there is a problem with Luo Fu today, don't contact her, and it will be fine tomorrow?

"Why is there a problem? It was normal yesterday...

"Is it because I talked to you about vending machines, "Assassin" drinks, subsequent troubles, etc. last night? This is a bit like, a bit like the "Star" in the group suddenly lost the line when mentioning key things...

"What is the problem, who gave the problem, why is it there today and solved tomorrow? "

Questions flashed through Zhou Mingrui's mind, but many of them could not find reasonable explanations.

Thirteenth floor, Security Department.

Lumian and his partner Lao Xia have patrolled all floors and found no safety hazards.

After sitting in a room that was more like a rest room for security guards than an office, Lumian took out his mobile phone.

Because Franka had exited the dream and could meet the major arcana, he did not need to pass on the results of yesterday's experiment and the matter that the vice president of Mushu Hospital was suspected to be the matron of the "Mother Earth" Church, Roland, through the Star Dream Grocery Store.

Most of the results of this experiment were within his expectations. The only thing that surprised him was:

Roshan's memory was still there, and all the memories of interacting with Franka and Janna were still there!

"This means we can ‘Cultivating’ dream characters… but it is not certain to what extent the dream characters will know the truth before it will cause abnormalities…

“In the future, there may be such a situation: the five of us and even the subsequent gold coin holders are completely kicked out of the dream and can only watch, but many dream characters have inherited our wishes and careers and are still working hard to awaken Mr. ‘Fool’, and they are part of the dream and cannot be kicked out!

“This is a change of thinking. It does not necessarily have to be outsiders, not necessarily us, NPCs can also play a role…

“At that time, well, these dream characters will not be kicked out, but they can be killed and polluted, just like the messenger of God.

“When more dream characters are killed, will it be a kind of excitement for Mr. ‘Fool’? This is also a disaster for the dream city, with a large number of important characters dying or falling…

“‘Witch’ and ‘Hunter’, are they really going to bring disaster?”

Lumian laughed at himself, chose “Intis Group Green”, and entered the chat interface.

He raised his chin slightly, and sent a message with a cold expression using the voice input method:

"How have you been doing recently?"

Two or three meters away, Lao Xia, who was sitting on another chair, shuddered when he heard this voice and words. He felt that Li Ming was more like a captain than Captain Xu.

A few minutes later, Green replied:

"We haven't found a way to let Huang Tao return to his mother's arms.

"Without Huang Tao's cooperation and acquiescence, we can't do many things. At present, we can only use the authority of the Security Department to monitor Zhou Mingrui's actions. We installed pinhole cameras and eavesdroppers at his position and implanted Trojans in his computer, which allows us to find problems from his browsing history, search history, and call status at the first time and stop them in time.

"A few days ago, Zhou Mingrui had the idea of ​​resigning and searched for specific procedures and precautions, but later he didn't do it, and didn't read any articles or videos about it.

"Without Huang Tao's cooperation, we can't keep him by promoting him and raising his salary for the time being. We must solve this problem before he really resigns. ”

Lumian read it carefully and felt that Green, or the children of the "Great Mother" in the Dream City, had not yet thought about how to cooperate with Tianzun to turn Zhou Mingrui into a "witch". They were more monitoring and observing, and wanted Zhou Mingrui to stay in the Intis Group where they had a great influence and not resign and leave.

"It feels that what the children of the 'Great Mother' are currently doing is to maintain balance and obtain the latest information at any time...

"This is basically consistent with the judgment of the Major Arcana cards and me about the intentions of the evil gods..."

After muttering to himself, Lumian stood up and took a walk in the office.

He was thinking about how to use Green and other mother's children, and also thinking about Mr. "Fool" drinking the "Assassin" potion.

Frankly speaking, when Lumian knew that Tianzun induced Mr. "Fool" to drink the "Assassin" potion in an attempt to make him become a "witch" step by step, change his gender, and cause him to have cognitive problems, he felt a little absurd.

In his opinion, all gods are "Him". Except for a few paths that need to emphasize gender, they should not care whether they are male or female, and those ancient beings who have lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years may be even more so.

Will Mr. "Fool" really have cognitive problems because of becoming a woman?

After remembering that Mr. "Fool" asked to call him "him" instead of "Him", Lumian reluctantly accepted this reason.

At the same time, he also suspected that Tianzun wanted to use the conflict of extraordinary characteristics of non-adjacent paths in a symbolic sense to drive Mr. "Fool" crazy, so as to gain the upper hand and win - the "Witch" path and the "Fortune Teller", "Apprentice", and "Thief" are not adjacent paths.

After killing the resurrected female corpse Panatia and knowing her mission, Lumian's inner balance is more inclined to the speculation that Tianzun wants to use the conflict between non-adjacent paths:

Panatia wants Zhou Mingrui to fall in love, and after he drinks the "Witch" and changes his gender, she will never leave him. Isn't this equivalent to helping Zhou Mingrui and Mr. "Fool" stabilize their mental state?

This is somewhat contradictory to the speculation that the gender change was used to cause cognitive problems for Mr. Fool.

And if the purpose of stabilizing the mental state is to let Zhou Mingrui drink a higher-order "Witch" potion and accumulate more madness, it seems more reasonable.

Now, after Lumian thought along this line, he had a new question:

Why must it be an "Assassin" potion and a "Witch" path?

As long as it is a potion on a non-adjacent path with "Fortune Teller", "Apprentice", and "Thief", it can achieve the goal...

Becoming a woman early does have its effect, and will it bring mental risks?

Combined with the fact that most of our team are "witches", and Tianzun even deliberately pulled a "witch" secret doll into the dream city, does it mean that there is a hidden reason for inducing Zhou Mingrui to drink the "assassin" potion instead of other non-adjacent potions?

Lumian immediately went over the various special features of the "witch" path in his mind.

In just a few seconds, he thought of a term:

"Mirror Man"!

Becoming a "witch" not only turns you into a woman, but also a corresponding, fixed "Mirror Man" will appear.

From this sequence, "witches" can use mirrors to create substitutes and use corresponding magic.

From Lumian's current experience, "Mirror Man" is more extreme, more vicious, and more sinister.

"What Tianzun actually wants is to make a "Mirror Man" appear in Mr. "Fool", and then achieve the goal of winning this confrontation by doing something to the "Mirror Man" or letting the "Mirror Man" do something? Make the fake real, and turn the fake into the real? "Lumian fell into deep thought.

At this moment, his phone vibrated, www.youxs.org.
