Jana didn't really go to Xinhong Community to find Lumian and Ludwig, but chose a nearby hotel and opened a room to see if she would be kicked out.
After a night of uneventful activity, she immediately returned to Dechuang Garden after waking up, sitting in a corner of the hall, facing the door leading to the interior of the community.
After more than ten minutes, she saw Franka.
Franka still wears old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses and dresses up as a relatively conservative office girl.
Seeing this, Jane breathed a sigh of relief, changed her sitting position, turned her back to Franka, and did not go to meet her.
If the other party takes off her disguise and changes into makeup and clothes that highlight her own characteristics the most, so that the charm of the "witch" can be displayed to the greatest extent, she has to consider finding an excuse to prevent "Ralph" from going to work and delay her for a day.
Now it seems that the style of the NPC "Ralph" will continue for a while.
…………
Technology Building, 10th Floor.
Franka sat down and slowly brewed herself a cup of coffee.
At this time, she saw Zhou Mingrui walking in, so she said with a smile:
"Are you looking for Luo Shan? She hasn't come yet."
"I thought you would be together." Zhou Mingrui did not hide his surprise.
In his opinion, Roxanne and Rolf have a good relationship on the surface or secretly, and they have a special connection, and they should belong to the type of person who will wait for you and me and wait for you, and go to work together.
Franka smiled:
"I asked her, and she said she had something delayed and asked me not to wait for her."
"That's right......" Zhou Mingrui nodded, turned around and walked outside the administrative department.
During this time, he came to Luo Shan to inquire about various news from the company more frequently than before, causing some idlers in the administrative department to spread rumors about him and Luo Shan.
Zhou Mingrui walked to the door of the administrative department unhurriedly, unable to wait for Ralph's words to ask him to wait.
He originally thought that the other party would take this opportunity to hint at something again, who knows, Ralph didn't even have the idea of chatting with him, politely and a little rusty.
Zhou Mingrui frowned slightly, did not turn around and look again, and left the administrative department directly.
"It feels a little wrong......" As soon as he muttered in his heart, he saw Luo Xan walking over with a pancake fruit and a cup of five-grain soy milk.
"It's early." Luo Shan greeted cheerfully.
"It's early." Zhou Mingrui smiled and said, "I just went to find you, but you haven't come yet, and Rolf said that you have something to delay."
Luo Shan glanced left and right:
"What do you want to ask me about?"
The two chatted a few words and walked to their respective departments' offices.
Suddenly, Zhou Mingrui's mobile phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw that it was Luo Shan, who was still chatting just now, sent a message:
"Don't talk to Rolf about anything today, wait for tomorrow."
The moment he saw this news, Zhou Mingrui thought that the relationship between the two girls suddenly broke down, and began to form a gang to try to isolate each other, but after reading it carefully, he got a preliminary conclusion:
"What Roxanne means is that there is a problem with Rolf today, don't touch it, it will be fine tomorrow?
"Why is there a problem? Yesterday was normal......
"Is it because you talked to me last night about vending machines, 'assassin' drinks, and follow-up troubles? This is a bit similar, a bit like the "star" in the group suddenly disconnecting when he mentioned a key matter......
"What will the problem be, who gave it, why is it there today, and it will be solved tomorrow?"
One question after another flashed through Zhou Mingrui's mind, but many could not find a reasonable explanation.
…………
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 place for security guards to rest than an office, Lumian took out his phone.
Because Franka has withdrawn from the dream and can meet with the Major Arcana cards, he no longer needs to pass on the results of yesterday's experiment along with the suspected "Earth Mother Goddess" church mistress Roland through the Star Dream Grocery Store.
Most of the results of this experiment were what he expected, the only thing that surprised him was:
Roxanne's memories are still there, and all the memories of interacting with Franka and Jane are still there!
"This means we can 'develop' dream characters...... But it's uncertain to what extent the dream characters understand the truth and bring about anomalies......
"In the future, there may be a situation where the five of us and even the subsequent gold coin holders have been completely kicked out of the dream realm and can only stand by, but there are many dream characters who have inherited our wishes and careers, and are still working hard to awaken Mr. 'Fool', and they are part of the dream realm and cannot be kicked out!
"This is a change of thinking, not necessarily 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 contaminated, just like the gods.
"When there are more dream characters who are killed, isn't it a stimulus for Mr. 'Fool'? This is also a disaster in Dream City, where a large number of important characters die or fall......
"'Witches' and 'hunters', 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 lately?"
Two or three meters apart, Lao Xia, who was sitting on another chair, suddenly shivered when he heard this voice, and felt that Li Ming was more like a captain than Team Xu.
After a few minutes, Green replied to the message:
"I haven't found a way to get Huang Tao back into his mother's arms.
"Without Huang Tao's cooperation and acquiescence, we can't do many things, and we can only use the power of the Security Department to monitor Zhou Mingrui's actions, we installed pinhole cameras and eavesdroppers in his position, and implanted a Trojan horse on his computer, which allows us to find problems from his browsing records, search records, and call situations as soon as possible and stop them in time.
"A few days ago, Zhou Mingrui had the idea of resigning and searched for specific processes and precautions, but then he did not do it and did not watch articles and videos in this regard.
"Without Huang Tao's cooperation, we cannot keep him through promotion and salary increase for the time being, and we must solve this problem before he actually resigns."
After reading it carefully, Lumian felt that Green, or the children of the "Great Mother" in the Dream City, had not thought about how to cooperate with Tianzun to turn Zhou Mingrui into a "witch", but more of monitoring, observing, and wanting Zhou Mingrui to stay in their influential Intis Group without resigning and leaving.
"What the children who feel like 'great mothers' are doing right now is maintaining balance and staying informed about the latest changes......
"This is basically consistent with the cards of the Major Arcana and my judgment of the intentions of the evil gods......"
After Lumian said a few words to himself in his heart, he stood up and walked around the office.
He was thinking about how to use Green and other mother's children, and he was also thinking about Mr. "Fool" drinking "Assassin" magic potion.
Frankly speaking, Lumian felt a bit ridiculous when he knew that Heavenly Lord had lured Mr. "Fool" to drink the "Assassin" magic potion in an attempt to make him a "witch" step by step and change his gender, which would cause him to have cognitive problems.
In his opinion, the gods are all "He", except for a few ways that need to emphasize gender, they should not care whether they are male or female, and those ancient beings who have lived for thousands of years may be even more so.
Will Mr. "Fool" really have cognitive problems because of becoming a woman?
Remembering that Mr. "The Fool" asked to call him "he" instead of "him", Lumian reluctantly accepted this reason.
At the same time, he also suspected that the Celestial Being wanted to use the symbolic non-adjacent path to drive Mr. "Fool" crazy and thus gain the upper hand and win—the "witch" path and the "soothsayer", "apprentice", and "thief" are not adjacent paths.
After killing the resurrected female corpse Panatia and knowing her mission, Lumian's inner balance was more inclined to the speculation that Tianzun wanted 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, he will never leave him, isn't this the same as helping Zhou Mingrui and helping Mr. "The Fool" stabilize his mental state?
This is a bit contradictory to the speculation that Mr. "Fool" has cognitive problems with the use of gender change.
And if stabilizing the mental state is to allow Zhou Mingrui to drink a higher sequence of "witch" magic medicine and accumulate more madness, it seems more reasonable.
Now, after Lumian thought along this line of thought, he had a new question:
Why does it have to be an "assassin" magic potion or a "witch" way?
As long as it is a magic potion on a non-adjacent path with "soothsayers", "apprentices", and "thieves", it can achieve its goal......
Becoming a woman early does have its effect, and will it bring hidden mental dangers?
Combined with the fact that most of our team is "witches, and Tianzun also deliberately pulled a "witch" secret puppet into the dream city, does it explain that inducing Zhou Mingrui to drink the "assassin" magic potion instead of other non-adjacent magic potions, and there are hidden reasons?
Lumian immediately went through the various specialties of the "witch" path in his mind.
In just a few seconds, he thought of a noun:
"Man in the Mirror"!
Becoming a "witch" will not only become a woman, but also a corresponding and fixed "person in the mirror".
From this sequence onwards, the "witches" were able to use mirrors to create stand-ins and use corresponding magic.
Judging from Lumian's current experience, the "people in the mirror" are more extreme, more vicious, and more vicious.
"What Tianzun wants is actually to let Mr. 'Fool' appear as a 'man in the mirror', and then achieve the goal of winning this confrontation by doing certain things to the 'man in the mirror', or letting the 'man in the mirror' do certain things? Confuse the truth with falsehood, turn falsehood into truth?" Lumian fell into deep thought.
At this time, his phone vibrated, and the new news came from Anderson. Hood.
