The surface of the magic mirror that claimed to be Arrodes swayed with water light, and the surrounding darkness became mist.
One after another, as if dripping with blood, the Gulfsack words quickly outlined in the mirror:
"Be careful at night."
Watch out for the night? Lumian repeated this answer while instinctively looking outside the "Star Dream Grocery Store".
At this time, the August sun is bright and bright, reflecting golden light from many glass windows opposite, making people unconsciously feel certain and stable, and instinctively afraid of the heat.
Lumian quickly recalled the experience of these two nights and found that every night was not peaceful:
On the first night, the god messenger Daniz's dream image was murdered, and the nurse of Mushu Hospital brought the body of the "desperate witch" back to life;
The next night, he and others encountered a resurrected female corpse in the monitoring room, and a fierce battle broke out, almost making headlines in the form of a major case involving guns, explosives, and biochemical toxins.
In comparison, nothing big happened during the two days, the only anomaly was that the god revived the body and walked into Mu Shu Hospital, which did not cause any major movement.
Relatively safe during the day, more dangerous at night? During the day, Mr. "Fool's" power prevailed, and at night, Tianzun's consciousness was more active? Lumian briefly analyzed the magic mirror Aroldes' answer.
At this time, the blood-colored words on the surface of the silver mirror twisted and wriggled to form new content:
"According to the principle of reciprocity, it was my turn to ask questions.
"If you answer incorrectly, or lie, or refuse to answer, you will be punished."
Lumian nodded fearlessly, and Anthony next to him remained silent.
On the magic mirror, new words began to form one after another:
"You ...... your sister Aurore."
Lumian's eyebrows moved suddenly, and at the same time, the words on the surface of the mirror suddenly blurred and combined into new content:
"After you become a 'witch', will you want to be by a man?"
"No." Lumian replied briefly and affirmatively.
The punishment did not appear.
Lumian whispered suspiciously:
"The question is so simple?"
First, I temporarily changed the question, and then asked a question that I currently have a clear conscience about, how can this create social death?
On the surface of the magic mirror, the water floated, and a few lines of blood-dripping Gufusak words emerged:
"To everyone who enters a dream and wants to awaken Mr. 'Fool', the great Arolds is very kind!"
I see...... This magic mirror is very loyal...... As soon as Lumian finished sighing, he saw that the words on the mirror had changed:
"According to the principle of reciprocity, it was my turn to ask questions.
"If you answer incorrectly, or lie, or refuse to answer, you will be punished."
Was that a problem just now? Lumian didn't expect that his own self-talk would also become a problem.
He didn't force the magic mirror Aroldes to answer!
On the surface of the ancient silver mirror, a bloody question came into Lumian's eyes:
"What does it feel like to wear women's underwear?"
It's quite friendly...... Lumian replied expressionlessly:
"Restraint, a bit restraint, not very comfortable, but gives a sense of stability and security."
Considering that the magic mirror Aroldes only answered the first question with a little bit of "be careful of the night", Lumian felt that he should not be able to ask more information at the moment, so he put the silver mirror with an ancient shape and black eyes on both sides back in place.
He looked at the cash register thoughtfully and asked the shopkeeper:
"How much does this mirror cost?"
If the price is right, it may be able to buy it, as Mr. "Fool's" belongings, and the magic mirror may provide important information at critical moments.
The owner in a black dress finally lifted his head.
For some reason, Lumian felt that the sunlight outside suddenly dimmed, like a large cloud drifting by.
The interior of the Star Dream Grocery Store became darker.
In such an environment, Lumian, who has "dark vision", still sees the shopkeeper's appearance clearly.
Her eyes were rare pure black, and her face was unusually beautiful, but she didn't look like a local.
The shopkeeper smiled and answered Lumian's question:
"500."
"How much?" Lumian blurted out, and even Anthony had a slight change in expression.
"500." The owner repeated the price.
I have to think seriously about spending 50 yuan now, you report me 500...... Lumian dismisses the idea of buying the magic mirror Arolds.
He knew that this price was actually very cheap, this was an item carried by Mr. "Fool", the great Arrodes, the real value is definitely worth 500, or even far more than this price, but people who have no money must be allowed to scold or two.
Lumian pointed to the brass cast book with an insightful mentality:
"How much is this?"
"900." The owner responded kindly.
Lumian couldn't ask anymore.
He only knew one thing now, this brass book was more valuable than the magic mirror Arrodes!
The owner smiled and added:
"Most of the items in the store are antiques and related to occultism, so they are not cheap, but you can choose to rent them by the day."
"Rent?" Lumian pointed to the magic mirror Arolds in astonishment, "How much does it cost to rent a day?"
"22 thousand." The owner's voice is soft like a serenade.
22 ...... This is no different from buying 500 yuan, we can't pay anyway...... Lumian first scolded a couple of words, and then, with his rich dream experience and the spiritual intuition of the "witch", he muttered in a low voice:
"Saving enough 500 yuan to buy the magic mirror, and saving enough 22 yuan to rent it for a day, both have corresponding symbolic meanings?"
The owner didn't seem to expect Lumian to rent or buy, so he lowered his head again and played with his phone.
Lumian was indeed unable to rent and buy now, so he and Anthony walked to the door of the Star Dream Grocery Store.
After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and suddenly turned around and asked:
"Has anyone rented a magic mirror before?"
The shopkeeper raised his head again, and a smile appeared on his beautiful face:
"Yes."
Lumian's pupils dilated:
"Who?"
Has anyone really rented the Magic Mirror Arolds in Dream City?
What is it used for?
The shopkeeper replied with a faint smile:
"It is my duty to keep the privacy and secrets of our customers."
In Lumian's mind, thoughts flashed through him like lightning.
He finally didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked out of the Star Dream Grocery Store.
As soon as they approached the parking lot, Lumian and Anthony saw a foreign man with brown hair squatting next to the gray car rented by his team, looking left and right, and sometimes taking a photo.
Seeing the car owner come back, the foreign man stood up slowly.
He was about the same height as Lumian, with a pair of flat glasses on the bridge of his nose, a slightly yellowish beard on the surface of his face, well-developed pectoral muscles, thick arms, holding up his blue shirt until it was about to crack, and the jeans he was wearing were washed white with water, and he was carrying a black travel backpack behind him.
"What are you doing with our car?" Lumian asked cautiously.
He now has a disease, and anyone in the dream feels that there is a disease corresponding to identity and symbolism.
The foreign man said:
"Such an old car is rare, and it fills the gap in my knowledge."
"Insight?" Lumian asked suspiciously.
Is this guy studying cars?
The foreign man smiled and said:
"I am an international student, studying at a university here, I like this city very much, I like everything here, so when I am not in class, I will carry my bag, hold my mobile phone, walk around and take pictures, and record every detail that makes up this civilization."
"That's right...... Lumian thought this guy was a bit strange, but he didn't want to have too much contact with the other party as he was still in the first stage of observation.
At this time, Anthony suddenly asked:
"What's your name?"
The foreign man glanced at Anthony and replied with a smile:
"Stiano.
"What about you?"
"Li Ming." Lumian reported his pseudonym in Dream City.
Anthony also introduced himself:
"Andrew."
After chatting for a few more words, Stiano, a foreign man, continued to carry his bag and mobile phone, wandering around aimlessly.
got into the car, Lumian fastened his seat belt and looked at Anthony:
"Why did you ask him for his name?"
Anthony rarely acts so proactively.
Anthony thought for a moment and said:
"He gave me a strange sense of familiarity.
"I will use hypnosis to ask my subconscious mind to see where the familiarity comes from."
Lumian nodded and started the car.
Halfway through the drive, Anthony suddenly released the hypnosis and said to Lumian:
"I found the source of familiarity, and every time I enter the church of the Steam Church, I feel the same way."
He was originally a steam believer.
"The corresponding image of a certain senior executive of the Steam Church in the dream?" Although Lumian has disguised himself as a believer in Steam, he has hardly ever been to the church of the Steam, so he doesn't feel like Anthony.
"Maybe." Anthony wasn't so sure.
…………
At noon, in the rental house.
Lumian said to Janna who was helping Franka out to eat:
"In the afternoon, you and Anthony took Ludwig to the Dream Cram School to see the field, and I took care of Franka at home.
"According to the information provided by the Major Arcana cards, Mr. 'Fool' also enrolled in this cram school, which is one of the best ways for us to come into contact with Mr. 'Fool' naturally and normally.
"Moreover, you can also observe the impact of the death of the divine messenger on this cram school."
"Hmm." It was Franka who spoke, "As an adult man, the divine envoy was reported missing after just one night without returning, which feels a bit strange."
Jian Na thought for a moment and said:
"It may be Mr. 'Fool' subconscious that thinks this matter is urgent."
"There may be other reasons." Lumian glanced at Ludwig, whose face had deteriorated after hearing the cram school, and said, "Jana is responsible for communication and temptation, Anthony is responsible for observation, and this matter will be left to you."
