Chapter 939 Contradictions (Thank you Old Khloe for rewarding Angoulême Silver Treasure Chest)
Jane didn't follow Roxanne because she knew that the other party would call an online car-hailing, and whether it was shadow sneaking or stealth following, it was not enough for her to chase a car by running for a long time, unless the target encountered a series of traffic jams - in this regard, the "witches" were better at explosion than lasting.
As for the option of taking a car and letting the driver track the target in front of you, not to mention whether there is a taxi passing by, whether the ordered online car-hailing can arrive within a minute, the biggest question is actually whether you can find a reasonable excuse.
Janna believes that if Franka is here, with her knowledge and familiarity with the dream city, she will be able to easily find reasons to convince others, but she can't do it yet, and it is likely that the driver will call the police on the spot without saying the right word.
Of course, this problem can be solved by relying on "charm", but when she gets out of the car, the effect of "charm" gradually fades, and the driver will inevitably feel that something is wrong when he recalls what happened, and may call the police.
Leaving the window, Jane soaked a bowl of noodles and enjoyed it, even drinking the soup cleanly.
When it got dark and night really came, she took out the "Ice Mirror Charm" made by Lumian and held it in her palm.
As the ancient Hermitic word "mirror" was pronounced, the mysterious amulet carved from frost glowed with a slightly dim light.
Jian Na's hand pressed on the surface of the mirror placed on the coffee table in advance, and the whole person suddenly blurred and got in.
Relying on the ability to sense the surrounding mirrors provided by the "Ice Mirror Charm", she quickly locked on a mirror-like item in Luo Shan's home and shuttled through the dark and illusory tunnel.
She wanted to search the other party's home from the mirror while Luo Shan was out to see if she could find anything.
The reason why she didn't do this when Luo Xan was at work during the day was because the corresponding temptation had to be gradual, and she had to first confirm whether the level of contact with Luo Xan last evening would attract the attention of the Heavenly Venerable, or provoke the probe of hostile forces.
After a day and a night of waiting, she is now initially confirmed that she will not and can do further contact and exploration.
Jane Na did not leave the dark and illusory area behind the mirror, looking at the situation at Roxanne's home through the hard and cold glass.
This house is also a one-bedroom room, the layout is the same as the one she rented, and she is currently in the glass window of the living room immersed in the night.
Above the window, Jian Na's face appeared vaguely and vaguely, and her eyes swept over the coffee table, TV, refrigerator and other items.
She soon noticed that drawing boards, canvases, paper, palettes, paint tubes, various brushes, and small scrapers were scattered in different places, and works hung on the walls, including oil paintings in heavy colors, sketches smeared with pencil, and landscape paintings in black and white.
Jane Na's eyes suddenly stopped on one of the oil paintings.
It depicts a strange creature that is half human and half snake, with a delicate female upper body and a giant python with lifelike scales on the lower body.
"The monster I saw last night...... Jane Na's heart tightened, and she successively recognized that the strange creatures depicted in other paintings were all intruders she saw in the spirit-intertwined "spirit community" she saw during her astral spiritual journey last night.
Almost at the same time, she found that the paintings had one element in common:
All strange creatures were locked up in iron fences.
What does this mean? Symbolizes that these monsters are kept out of the world? This is close to the scene I saw last night when I was wandering around the astral spirits...... The iron fence cage was drawn by Roxanne, and the monsters came from someone else's hand? Or did Roxanne draw these monsters and lock them up? Jane thought about it seriously, and her eyes fell on a sketch.
It was a self-portrait of Roxanne, with a smiling face, smart eyes, and a lot of charm.
For some reason, Jane felt that Roxanne in this self-portrait was staring seriously at the dark living room.
This made her dispel the idea of leaving the glass window and really entering the room.
Just as Jane Na continued to observe, the fingerprint lock on the door made a sound, and Roxanne went home with a white handbag.
After Luo Shan put the handbag on the dining table, she briskly came to her sketch portrait and looked at it for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, she picked up a paintbrush, dipped it in some silver paint, and walked to the living room window.
Jian Na shrank back a little before the door opened, allowing the glass window reflecting the dark night to completely return to normal.
Luo Shan stared at the glass window for a while, then picked up the paintbrush and outlined a simple door on the surface.
Jane in the area behind the mirror suddenly saw a silver light on the hard glass surface, forming a strange door that truly connected reality and the world in the mirror.
She immediately left a few traces of the burning remnants of the "witch" black flame, and walked through the illusory and dark tunnel by herself, returned to her rented place, and came out of the mirror.
The silver door where Jane Na was hiding was pushed open, and Roxanne walked into the area behind the mirror.
The girl in the light long skirt looked around with a gloomy expression, and did not notice anything unusual here.
Roxanne looked at the dense spider web-like tunnels in the mirror, unable to think of anything she could draw to use them.
After two or three minutes, she exited the area behind the mirror and wiped the silver door depicted on the surface of the glass window with her palm.
…………
23rd floor, room 3.
Jian Na sat on the sofa and muttered to herself silently:
"Roxanne is indeed an extraordinary person in the 'painter' path...... the one who believes in the 'Fantasy Society' has also penetrated the power a little?
"Is He also in the Blind Hospital, or does He have a stronghold?
"He gave Roxanne extraordinary power to control this colleague of Zhou Mingrui and come into contact with Mr. 'The Fool's dream image?"
Just thinking of this, Jian Na's phone on the coffee table buzzed and vibrated.
Jane Na picked it up and saw that it was Roxanne who sent her a message and a picture.
The girl with the WeChat name "I want to go on vacation every day" said with a smiling expression:
"This is my work, you can take a look."
The content of that picture was the sketch self-portrait that Jane had seen at Roxanne's house before.
Jian Na clicked on this picture, and suddenly had the illusion that Luo Shan came to life on her mobile phone screen.
Her heart moved, and she put her phone on the coffee table in a way that did not lock the screen.
Then, she stood up, walked to the bathroom, and closed the door.
As soon as Jane Na sat down on the toilet, she immediately set her sights on the washbasin mirror.
She used the mirror magic of the "witch" and the mirror on the coffee table to spy on her mobile phone.
A few seconds later, Jian Na saw that the sketch portrait that appeared on the surface of the screen seemed to have a slight movement, and Luo Shan, outlined by the pencil lines, tentatively stretched out her hand outside the screen and shrank back.
Sure enough...... Jian Na pressed the flush button on the toilet, washed her hands amidst the loud noise, and left the bathroom.
She picked up her phone again, turned off the picture, and replied to Luo Shan in a voice-to-text way:
"It looks like a drawing!"
She didn't go through Luo Shan's circle of friends last night because she was "just chatting".
"Do you want me to give you a sketch too?" Roxanne quickly replied to Jane's compliment.
I dare not be painted by you "painters"...... Jian Na muttered silently and responded to Roxanne with the voice input method:
"No, no, no."
She immediately changed the topic:
"You may not believe it, I had a very strange dream yesterday, and you were in the dream.
"You seem to be guarding the community, fighting a group of monsters, and we can't help."
If a man said similar words to herself, Jane Na would definitely feel that the other party was striking up a conversation, feeling that their friendship was too shallow and the things they were talking about were too ambiguous, which was obviously inappropriate.
"Did I leave such a deep impression on you?" Luo Shan made a "proud" expression.
A few seconds later, she sent a second message:
"Your dream is wonderful, and I'm glad that I play that role in your dream, really, very happy."
Jian Na was about to reply when Roxanne sent a third message:
"Because my dad is a true guardian, and so are his colleagues."
Jane Na suddenly recalled the introduction of Roxanne's background in the material:
In reality, Roxanne's father was the "night watchman" of the "Goddess of the Night" church, who died in an accident caused by an occult case, and his father's colleagues included Dunn, the captain of the "night watchman" squad corresponding to Officer Deng, Officer Deng's fiancée Ms. Daly, Interpol Neil Sr. and others, all of whom died in the disaster brought about by extraordinary powers, but also protected the corresponding city.
"One of the incarnations of Mr. Fool is Klein. Moretti was a member of the "Night Watchman" team, so when Mr. "The Fool" subconsciously weaved the image of the dream, he added a similar background to Roxanne, making Roxanne worship and yearn for the spirit of protection?
"Although Luo Shan is now influenced by the evil god of the 'Fantasy Society' and has obtained illusory gifts, the guardian obsession in her heart has not been completely erased by contamination? This is the reason for her current contradictory performance?
"Drawing strange creatures and trying to make them real, while adding cages to these invaders...... While constantly creating monsters, he guards the barrier to prevent them from entering......
"Is this the cognition that Mr. 'Fool' subconsciously projected onto Roxanne to fight against the pollution of the evil god of the 'Fantasy Society'?
"If that's the case, in a sense, this is the confrontation between Mr. Fool's subconscious and the evil god of the 'Fantasy Society'......" Jane thought about how to reply to Roxanne.
After more than ten seconds, she used voice input to say:
"Have you ever created a painting that protects the theme?"
It took twenty or thirty minutes for Luo Shan to reply to this message:
"Not yet.
"Failed."
If not, why fail? This answer is too contradictory...... Jianna's pupils suddenly froze.
