The surface of the magic mirror, which calls itself Arrodes, is filled with rays of light, and the surrounding darkness becomes dense.
One after another, ancient Fusac words that seemed to be dripping with blood were outlined on the mirror very quickly:
"Be careful at night."
Be careful at night? Lumian repeated this answer while instinctively looking outside the "Xingmeng Grocery Store".
At this time, the August sunshine was clear and brilliant, reflecting the golden light from many glass windows opposite, making people feel calm and stable without even realizing it, and instinctively fearing the heat.
Lumian quickly recalled his experiences over the past two nights and found that every night was not peaceful:
On the first night, the dream image of the divine messenger Daniz was murdered, and the nurses at Mu Shu Hospital resurrected the corpse of the "Despair Witch";
On the second night, he and others encountered the resurrected female corpse in the monitoring room, and a fierce battle ensued. It almost made the local news headlines as a major case involving guns, explosives, and biochemical toxins. Fortunately, the police did not leave the scene in order not to create panic.
Specific details were revealed and the investigation was conducted secretly.
Comparatively speaking, nothing major happened during the two days. The only exception was that God resurrected the corpse and entered the Mu Shu Hospital, which did not cause any big disturbance.
Is it relatively safe during the day, but more dangerous at night? During the day, the power of Mr. Fool has the upper hand, but at night, the consciousness of Tianzun is more active? Lumian briefly analyzed the answer of Magic Mirror Arrods.
At this time, the blood-colored words on the surface of the silver mirror twisted and squirmed to form new content:
"Based on the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions.
"If you answer incorrectly, lie, or refuse to answer, you will be punished."
Lumian nodded with a fearless attitude, while Anthony next to him remained silent.
On top of the magic mirror, new words began to form one after another:
"You treat your sister Aurore..."
Lumian's eyebrows suddenly moved, 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 fucked by a man?"
"No." Lumian answered briefly and firmly.
Punishment never came.
Lumian whispered in confusion:
"Is the problem that simple?"
First, he temporarily changed the question, and then he asked a question that he had a clear conscience at the moment. How could he create social death?
On the surface of the magic mirror, water light floated, and a few lines of ancient Fusac words dripping like blood emerged:
"The great Arrodes is very friendly to everyone who enters the dreamland and wants to wake up Mr. Fool!"
That's it... this magic mirror is very loyal... Just after Lumian finished sighing, he saw the words on the mirror changed:
"Based on the principle of reciprocity, it's my turn to ask questions.
"If you answer incorrectly, lie, or refuse to answer, you will be punished."
Was that a problem just now? Lumian didn't expect that his self-talk would also become a problem.
He didn’t force Mirror Arrodes to answer!
On the surface of the ancient silver mirror, a bloody question came into Lumian's eyes:
"The restraints are a bit restrictive and not very comfortable, but they give me a sense of stability and security."
Considering that Magic Mirror Arrodes only answered a little bit like "Be careful at night" to the first question, Lumian felt that he wouldn't be able to get any more information if he asked again at the moment, so he turned this ancient-style face into a mirror.
The silver mirror with black eyes on both sides was put back into place.
He looked at the cashier thoughtfully and asked the store owner:
"How much does this mirror cost?"
If the price is right, you may be able to buy it. As a personal belonging of Mr. Fool, the magic mirror may be able to provide important information at critical moments.
The shopkeeper in a black dress finally raised his head.
For some reason, Lumian felt that the sunshine outside suddenly became darker, as if there were large clouds drifting by.
The interior of Xingmeng Grocery Store became darker.
Under such an environment, Lumian, who had "dark vision", could still clearly see the appearance of the shop owner.
Her eyes are rare pure black, and her face is extremely beautiful, but she doesn't look like a local.
The shopkeeper smiled and answered Lumian's question:
"5 million."
"How much?" Lumian blurted out, and even Anthony's expression changed slightly.
"5 million." The shop owner repeated the price.
I have to seriously think about spending 50 yuan now. You quote me 5 million... Lumian gave up the idea of buying Magic Mirror Arrodes.
He knows that the price is actually very cheap. This is an item that Mr. Fool carries with him. The real value of the great Arrodes is definitely 5 million, or even far more than this price, but people who have no money must always be allowed to express a few words.
.
Lumian pointed to the brass-like book with a knowledgeable attitude:
"How much does this cost?"
"9 million." The shop owner replied in a good manner.
Lumian couldn't ask any more questions.
All he knows now is that this brass book is worth more than the magic mirror Arrodes!
The shop owner smiled and added:
"Most of the items in the store are antiques and related to the occult, so they are not cheap, but you can choose to rent them on a daily basis."
"Rent?" Lumian pointed at the magic mirror Arrods in astonishment, "How much does it cost to rent it for a day?"
"220,000." The shop owner's voice was as gentle as a serenade.
220,000... This is no different from buying it for 5 million. We can't pay it anyway... Lumian cursed a few words at first, and then muttered softly based on his rich dream experience and the spiritual intuition of the "witch":
"Save up 5 million to buy a magic mirror, and save up 220,000 to rent it for a day, do they have corresponding symbolic meanings?"
The shop owner didn't seem to expect Lumian to rent or buy it. He lowered his head again and started playing with his mobile phone.
Lumian really couldn't afford to rent or buy now, so he walked with Anthony to the door of Xingmeng Grocery Store.
After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned around suddenly and asked:
"Has anyone rented a magic mirror before?"
The shopkeeper raised his head again, with a smile on his beautiful face:
"have."
Lumian's pupils suddenly dilated:
"who?"
Has anyone actually rented the Magic Mirror Arrodes in Dream City?
What is it used for?
The shopkeeper replied with a faint smile:
"It is my duty to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of my clients."
Thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind like lightning.
In the end, he didn't ask any more questions and turned around and walked out of Xingmeng Grocery Store.
As soon as they approached the parking place, Lumian and Anthony saw a foreign man with brown hair squatting next to the gray car rented by their team, looking left and right, and occasionally taking a photo.
Seeing the car owner coming back, the foreign man slowly stood up.
He is about the same height as Lumian, with a pair of flat glasses on the bridge of his nose, a slight yellowish beard on his face, well-developed chest muscles, and thick arms. His blue shirt is stretched to the point of splitting, and the jeans he is wearing are washed.
When I arrived, I was carrying a black travel backpack behind me.
"Why are you taking pictures of our car?" Lumian asked cautiously.
He is now suffering from a disease, and when he sees anyone in his dream, he feels that the disease has a corresponding identity and symbolic meaning.
The foreign man said:
"Such an old car is rare. It fills the gap in my knowledge."
"Knowledge?" Lumian asked in confusion.
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 and everything here, so when I don't have classes, I will carry my bag and mobile phone and walk around to take pictures and record every detail that makes up this civilization.
kind of details.”
"Is that so..." Lumian thought this guy was a bit strange, but he was still in the first stage of observation and didn't want to have too much contact with him.
At this time, Anthony suddenly asked:
"May I have your name?"
The foreign man glanced at Anthony, smiled and replied:
"Stiano.
"What about you?"
"Li Ming." Lumian gave his pseudonym in Dream City.
Anthony also introduced himself:
"Anred."
After chatting for a few more words, Stiano, a foreign man, continued to wander around aimlessly, carrying his bag and cell phone.
After getting in the car, Lumian fastened his seat belt and looked at Anthony:
"Why did you ask for his name?"
Anthony rarely behaves 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 to see where the familiarity comes from."
Lumian nodded and started the car.
Halfway through driving, Anthony suddenly lifted the hypnosis and said to Lumian:
"I have found the source of the familiarity. Every time I enter the church of Steam Church, I will have a similar feeling."
He was originally a steam believer.
"The corresponding image of a certain high-ranking member of the Church of Steam in a dream?" Although Lumian pretended to be a believer of Steam, he had almost never entered a church of the Church of Steam, so he did not have the same feeling as Anthony.
"Maybe." Anthony was not sure.
…………
At noon, inside the rental house.
Lumian said to Jenna who was helping Franka out to eat:
"In the afternoon, you and Anthony will take Ludwig to the Dream cram school for a field trip, and I will take care of Franka at home.
"According to the information provided by the Major Arcana cards, Mr. Fool has also signed up for this cram school. This is one of the best ways for us to get in touch with Mr. Fool naturally and normally.
"Moreover, we 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, it feels a bit strange that the messenger was reported missing after not returning for one night."
Jian Na thought for a moment and said:
"Maybe Mr. Fool's subconscious thinks that this matter is urgent."
"There may be other reasons." Lumian glanced at Ludwig, whose expression turned bad after hearing about the cram school, and said, "Jenna is responsible for communication and testing, and Anthony is responsible for observation. I leave this matter to you.
