After talking about the matter of resurrecting the female corpse, Ms. "Magician" affirmed the current strategy of Lumian and others, saying that the previous gold coin holders failed to find a way to awaken Mr. "Fool" because they were too eager to contact him.
The target person was so quickly targeted by Tianzun, kicked out of the dreamland, or subject to comprehensive restrictions that he could only make a certain contribution to the accumulation of intelligence.
At the end of the letter, Ms. "Magician" told Lumian and others that some gold coin holders can still enter this dream city, but they cannot communicate with Mr. "Fool" or interfere with any events, but they can act as
Human body cameras help collect information on certain occasions.
The content displayed on the ice crystal screen ended here. Lumian flicked his wrist, burned the letter, and turned sideways to Ludwig:
"The origin of the resurrected female corpse."
Ludwig was looking longingly at the snack shop on the street, reluctantly talking about the information he got from the corpse:
"Panadia, a member of the Witch Cult, nicknamed the 'Nightingale of Despair', is one of the creators of the 'Backlund Great Smog' incident, and became the leader of the Tudor Empire in a hidden town leading to the Kingdom of Night.
The secret puppet of the noble Antigonus. At that time, Antigonus was in a state of madness and was mentally closer to the Heavenly Lord you mentioned..."
"For those at the top of the 'Stealer' path, the 'Desperate Nightingale' is indeed the secret puppet of Tianzun." Lumian listened carefully to Ludwig's statement and nodded slowly.
He cast his eyes out the car window, looking at the people coming in and out of the police station door, and said thoughtfully:
"I don't know much about fooling, grafting, dreams, and reality. I can only believe Ms. Magician's explanation first. What I'm wondering now is why Tianzun must bring the marionette 'Desperate Nightingale' to the dream city.
, instead of using the other party’s virtual image here?
"It can't be to give us extraordinary characteristics and special mirror world fragments, right?"
"Yes." Franka agreed. She also felt that Tianzun's choice in this matter was incomprehensible.
Since Panatia is Tianzun's marionette, her corresponding dream image should easily become Tianzun's marionette again, and in her subsequent missions, the role she plays does not have to be a real "witch" -
—Judging from the script restored by Panatia, the illusory "witch" belonging to the dream city can also fulfill the corresponding duties.
There must be a hidden reason why Tianzun chose a more troublesome method instead of a simpler one.
This reason may be crucial.
Anthony, who was sitting in the back row, continued to talk about his speculation on the character's psychological state:
"If there is no problem with the description of the information and Ms. Susie's reminder, Mr. Fool's dream image is very cautious and careful. Then send a 'witch' to approach him with reasonable excuses and a step-by-step approach, using daily, but not excessive, methods.
Getting along to cultivate feelings and resolve unfamiliarity and defensiveness is actually not the best choice, because the 'Witch' is so beautiful that people who think they have ordinary conditions will instinctively draw a clear line in their hearts and feel that it is not something they can get."
The three "witches" Lumian, Jenna and Franka looked at Anthony at the same time.
Anthony paused for two seconds before continuing:
"If I were to arrange it, I would find a way to turn one of Zhou Mingrui's current female colleagues into a marionette. That female colleague should be very ordinary, not extraordinary, and not beautiful, but with certain expressions at certain angles.
It will still have its own charm.
"When she and Zhou Mingrui get to know each other well, then arrange for her to drink the 'Assassin' potion, and gradually enhance her charm step by step, so that love can gradually emerge..."
Lumian's eyes changed a few times, but he said nothing.
"You 'audiences'..." Franka sighed sincerely.
He is indeed better at writing scripts than Tianzun.
She thought about it seriously just now and felt that she would definitely not be able to resist it if she were the person she was before time travel!
"Why did Tian Zun have to bring his 'Witch' marionette to the dream city, and also use the power of the 'Great Mother' to give her a new life?" Janna repeated Lumian and Franka's previous confusion.
After a brief silence inside the car, Lumian said thoughtfully:
"Don't you think there are too many 'witches' in this matter?"
"What do you mean?" Jenna vaguely guessed what Lumian wanted to say.
That was a dream symbol that he emphasized several times every day recently.
Lumian raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
"As a team that came to awaken Mr. Fool in the dreamland, the number of 'Witches' among us is abnormally large, more than half. However, the main opponent gave up simplicity and chose trouble, and brought a 'Witch' Marionette of his own.
Got it here.
"The Major Arcana cards have said that Mr. Fool has the authority over destiny, and the Heavenly Lord must also have it.
"The lucky gold coins finally gathered in our hands and brought us to this dream city. Does it symbolize the choice of fate? It symbolizes that the one who awakens Mr. Fool will be a 'witch'. Similarly, helping Tianzun win."
She will also be a 'witch'?
"I thought the lucky gold coin's choice this time was too monotonous. The appearance of the resurrected female corpse deepened my suspicion."
"Then why does it have to be a 'witch'? And it must be an external 'witch' with real consciousness?" Jenna said to herself, following this line of thought.
If you think about this problem clearly, you may know how to wake up Mr. Fool.
Lumian chuckled:
"I can only think of two reasons at the moment:
"First, the real 'witch' symbolizes real disasters. Real disasters will bring great changes to the dream city. If there are changes, there will be opportunities, which may be good or bad, but this cannot explain why there are not so many."
Hunter', 'Hunter' is also a symbol of disaster.
"The second is a certain key thing leading to the ending of Mr. Fool's awakening. Only a 'Witch' with a high rank can complete it."
"Maybe there are two reasons." Franka was worried about the cost of air conditioning and wanted to use ice cubes to cool down, but she was also worried about being discovered by the extraordinary people in the police. She continued to observe the people entering and leaving the police station.
In this way, they continued to discuss from time to time while observing, until noon.
During this process, Lumian and others saw Officer Dunn and his fiancée Dai Li coming out hand in hand to have lunch in a restaurant. They also saw Old Neil and other key figures with the title of Interpol.
Their observation results are basically consistent with the descriptions in the data.
"I didn't see Mr. Star..." Franka retracted her gaze and prepared to drive the car onto the road.
"They should be investigating the case in the mall's surveillance room outside." Lumian noticed this when he was checking his cell phone before.
Franka didn't say anything more, drove the car to a new urban area with many high-rise buildings and full of modern atmosphere, and parked opposite a building that was a hundred meters high.
Their next target of observation, and also the key suspect, Peng Deng, works here.
As soon as Franka parked the car, Lumian and others noticed the target approaching from a distance.
It was an ordinary-looking young man, holding an iced coffee in his hand and looking down at his mobile phone.
Every time Jian Na thought that the other party would hit a pedestrian or an obstacle on the road, Peng Deng could always go around it skillfully without raising his head.
Almost at the same time, Peng Deng's information flashed through Lumian and others' minds:
"Peng Deng, 24 years old, is Zhou Mingrui's hometown, a classmate in kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and high school. He is currently an interior designer and lives in Herun Community next to Xindu Garden.
"He has a girlfriend named Nie Zhen who lives in the High-tech Zone and plans to move in with Peng Deng after the current lease expires.
"Currently, Peng Deng is sharing a room with a foreign worker named Grisha. He is eccentric, paranoid, and rude..."
Lumian carefully observed Peng Deng, who was wearing a light-colored shirt with sweat dripping from his back, not missing every detail of his movements and expressions.
It wasn't until Peng Deng walked back to the building that Lumian looked away and asked about Anthony:
"Did you find anything?"
Anthony shook his head.
"It's normal. If the problem could be discovered so easily, the Major Arcana cards would have been harvested long ago." Lumian did not feel disappointed.
He said to all the team members:
"I'm not sure whether Peng Deng will go out in the afternoon. Let's go and observe his girlfriend and his roommates first. Tomorrow is the weekend. We may come into contact with Mr. Fool at the cram school in the afternoon. We have to list them as soon as possible.
Everyone who needs to be observed must go through it.”
Jian Na and others had no objection.
Franka tried to start the car, but could not complete the ignition.
The roaring sound is difficult to transform into a steady hum.
"Fuck! The car broke down..." Franka couldn't hide her frustration and patted the steering wheel.
At this moment, Lumian and Jenna had only one thought in their minds:
"I'm going to lose money..."
Then, Lumian frowned:
"Isn't it too much of a coincidence?
"We just inspected Peng Deng, and the car broke down..."
"Yes, there were no signs before." Franka also began to feel that this matter was a bit suspicious.
Will it become unfortunate to approach Peng Deng with bad intentions?
But before observing Peng Deng’s Major Arcana cards, there was no mention of a similar situation.
"This is an anomaly, record it first..." Lumian said to Anthony.
He pushed the door and got out of the car. He habitually wanted to check first to see if it could be repaired. But when he stood in the sun exposure area, he remembered that he had no understanding of the structure of internal combustion engine cars. The only thing he could do was to bang bang bang bang a few times.
Under the hood, see if you can use vibration and luck to make the vehicle better on its own.
"I'm looking for the car rental company's phone number." Franka saw this and picked up the phone on the holder.
At this moment, an enthusiastic voice came from the roadside:
"Hello, Li, and Ann, what's wrong with you?"
Lumian and Anthony, who had followed him out of the car, looked towards the street and found that the person greeting them was Stiano, whom they had met yesterday. This foreign student was suspected to be the corresponding image in a dream of a senior executive of the Church of Steam.
"The car broke down." Lumian pointed to the gray car.
Stiano's eyes lit up as he was carrying a travel bag:
