Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Opposite the building where Peng Deng worked.

Janna walked to the gray car, watched the door open, and Ludwig got out.

She nodded to Anthony in the driver's seat and took Ludwig to a nearby cafe.

Based on Peng Deng's profession, they had already drawn up a contact plan:

If they had money, they could buy a house, then go to Peng Deng's design company for consultation, and use "hypnosis" or "instigation" to "designate" Peng Deng as their designer.

Then, they could discuss the design ideas, thoughts and style with Peng Deng, and sign a contract, so that they could contact the target again and again by looking at the plan, visiting the site, etc., gradually get familiar with him, and finally figure out if he has any problems and where the problems are.

But unfortunately, they don't have that much money.

If they really have money to buy a house, wouldn't it be simpler and more convenient for them to rent the magic mirror Arodes and ask it for details about Peng Deng?

Therefore, Anthony only planned to implement the first half of the plan - fake the fact that he had a house, go to the house for consultation under the pretext of decoration, use the "hypnosis" ability to make the boss of Peng Deng's company assign Peng Deng to negotiate, and finally leave under the pretext of considering it, without signing the contract.

If Anthony's action failed, and Peng Deng was not available or happened to be meeting a client, and was assigned to another designer, then Jana would implement the second plan.

After taking Ludwig into the cafe, choosing a seat by the window, and ordering a cappuccino, a glass of pure juice, a small cake, and a pile of bread, Jana looked at the little boy opposite her and fell into deep thought:

"Every time we need to carry out a test mission, we have to change someone to take him, which feels so troublesome...

"He can indeed play a lot of roles, but the child's appearance, mentality, and cognition make it impossible for him to act alone, and we are also worried... We are worried about ordinary people in the dream city...

"Find a way to put him in a primary school and let him go to school? In this way, you don't have to worry about him during the day, just pick him up at the time."

Ludwig suddenly had a bad premonition in Jana's silence. At this time, the small cake was sent over, and he immediately smiled and picked up the fork and spoon.

Janna thought for a while, and still gave up the idea of ​​letting Ludwig go to primary school.

That's not like going to a cram school, which only takes an hour and a half, with a break in the middle. There are parents outside, so you have to stay in school all day. Unless you give Ludwig the "traveler's bag", there is really no way for him to carry enough food.

At that time, there will be one classmate for two classes?

On the other side, Anthony saw Peng Deng enter the building.

After nine o'clock, after confirming that Peng Deng had not left, he got off the car, walked into the building, took the elevator, and arrived at the design company called "Shengwei".

Anthony said to the front desk:

"I called to consult before, and I have made an appointment."

The front desk flipped through the notebook and took Anthony to the meeting room.

Not long after, the person in charge of the design company came over and chatted with Anthony for a few words to confirm the style he wanted.

During this process, Anthony deliberately mentioned Peng Deng, saying that he had seen the designer's works and actual effects on the company's official account and felt that they were in line with his ideas.

There is no doubt that when saying this, Anthony looked at the person in charge's eyes and simply used "hypnosis". When communicating on the phone before, he also used psychological methods to guide, but he could not directly apply "hypnosis".

"Take a rest first. I'll go find the designer." The person in charge stood up and left the meeting room, while the odd job employee poured Anthony a glass of water and put some fruit in it.

About ten minutes later, Anthony saw Peng Deng appear at the door.

Peng Deng had black hair and brown eyes, and looked ordinary. His hair was styled and partly fluffy. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a trendy temperament and holding a laptop in his hand.

Anthony stood up calmly without showing any abnormality.

After the introduction by the person in charge of the company, Anthony and Peng Deng started chatting. He mainly talked about his needs while Peng Deng listened and asked a few more in-depth questions from time to time to understand the details.

After Anthony finished speaking, Peng Deng operated the notebook and projector and said:

"I found a few pictures before, take a look and see if they are what you want."

Not long after, Anthony saw a picture:

The modern living room was bright and clean under the golden sunlight outside the window. A vase was placed in the right position, with a bunch of flowers blooming in the vase. There were oil paintings hanging on both sides, with sparse and beautiful woods and lush green fields...

Anthony suddenly felt that this was what he wanted.

Peng Deng showed a few more pictures in succession, with a similar style to the previous one, and each one seemed to perfectly fit Anthony's needs.

He just based on the description on the phone before and the face-to-face communication just now, he really grasped the picture I was looking forward to? Is this a bit special? Anthony did not express his opinion immediately, but continued to talk with Peng Deng about how to express those pictures if they were combined into a whole, and how to charge the designer's fee.

After chatting for a while, Anthony stood up and said:

"I'll think about it again."

"Okay." Peng Deng did not try hard to persuade Anthony, and sent Anthony to the door of the company.

Anthony went downstairs, crossed the street, and passed by the cafe where Jana and Ludwig were.

Anthony nodded slightly when the two met through the glass window.

Then he walked straight to the rented gray car.

Janna retracted her gaze and continued to watch Ludwig eat.

According to the prior agreement, she easily understood what Anthony meant by nodding just now without having to guess:

I have already met Peng Deng and had contact with him. After that, I will isolate myself until tomorrow morning to see if there will be any abnormalities.

…………

Technology Building, Intis Group, Administration Department.

After being busy for a while, Luo Shan began to slack off.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to "True Hidden Sword":

"Do you need me to hint Zhou Mingrui that he is special?"

Franka, who was sitting in the workstation in front of Luo Shan, hesitated for a while before replying:

"Not for the time being.

"Wait until one day my companions and I are unable to move, then you can do it. "

Franka was worried that if Luo Shan hinted too deeply, she would also encounter abnormalities. She and others would be kicked out of the dream, and the characters in the dream might die suddenly on the spot, or be hit and run over by a bus when leaving get off work.

She was more inclined to think that Luo Shan was only her deputy now, cooperating with her to hint at Zhou Mingrui.

Luo Shan was about to say something else, and Deputy Director Zhang Qing came out of the office, clapped his hands and said:

"Mr. Huang will come over later and take the VIP from last time to continue to visit the company..."

The sound of clattering suddenly sounded, and many employees took out their makeup bags and picked up their own makeup mirrors.

The VIP from last time? Franka asked Luo Shan on the phone:

"Is it Zarathustra?"

"It should be. He is the only VIP recently, involving the integration and merger of some subsidiaries, and a big business. "Lu Shan replied quickly, "What should I do later? "

What she meant was, should Zarathustra be allowed to contact Zhou Mingrui?

Didn't Lumian report Zarathustra yesterday? The police department has no evidence and cannot restrict the freedom of foreign guests for the time being? Zarathustra went to the cram school to see Zhou Mingrui yesterday, and came to the company again today. What does he want to do? Well, Lumian is right. Passive defense is easy to cause problems. It is better to take the initiative to eliminate hidden dangers... Franca looked at her phone, and her thoughts turned quickly.

After nearly a minute, she replied to Luo Shan:

"Don't worry, I will see the specific situation and then decide. You just need to cooperate with me.

"Don't worry, there are so many people in the company watching, Zarathustra can't do anything."

If it doesn't work, then I will risk my job and pour a glass of water on Zarathustra or Mr. Huang's crotch!

Seeing that Luo Fu did not take off her glasses, put on makeup, etc., several nearby employees all retracted their gazes on her, relieved, and focused on themselves.

Not long after, the group informed Mr. Huang of his schedule:

"Mr. Huang has brought his VIP to the 16th floor!"

Technology Building, 16th floor.

Huang Tao, dressed casually, sat down with Zarathustra, dressed formally, in a room filled with various classical artifacts and opened a bottle of Olmier red wine.

"You said you bought a very strange mirror?" Huang Tao continued the previous topic.

Zarathustra smiled and said:

"Yes, it has a kind of magic that allows us to see our inner self."

As he spoke, the old man's deep blue and almost black eyes moved slightly, and he took out a small mirror with a classical shape, luxurious style, and inlaid with gems from his formal pocket.

At this time, he and Huang Tao's entourage were left outside the current room, and only a few security guards were guarding the door and did not approach them.

"Look, this is what I look like in the mirror." Zarathustra placed the mirror in front of his face.

Huang Tao came closer and saw that the person reflected in the mirror was not the old man Zarathustra, but a man in his thirties with dark black hair and ordinary features.

Could it be a technological mirror with artificial intelligence? Huang Tao muttered based on his own experience and understanding.

"Do you want to try it?" Zarathustra asked him.

"Okay." Huang Tao took the mirror with interest and quietly checked whether there was a hidden switch in the item and what the mirror itself was made of.

He didn't find any problems, so he brought the mirror to his face with doubts.

He then saw himself in the mirror.

It was completely different from what he imagined.

He was a woman in the mirror, wearing a gorgeous golden crown, long chestnut hair with slight curls, blue eyes, a high nose bridge, slightly thin lips, charming looks, and an indescribable charm.

Huang Tao was stunned, as if he saw the Anima in his heart.

…………

Lumian, who started the mid-shift today, only had to arrive at the company before 4:30.

And since late last night, he used the mirror world to sneak into a hospital called "Red Moon", where Li Keji is currently being held.
