Anthony did not close the curtains in the room because he wanted to observe the situation outside.
This is used to compare with his own situation.
After sitting for a while, he stood up, walked to the window, and admired the city scene that was still brilliant even in the middle of the night.
At this time, he felt intense dizziness.
He immediately found that the air around him was sucked out. No, a more accurate description is that he was "thrown" out of the world and isolated from the air.
At the same time, his thinking began to become confused and stuck. His hands involuntarily reached his throat, trying to pull out the trachea and insert it back into the original world.
"This is very similar to Franka's description...
"Contacting Peng Deng will also cause oneself to be kicked out of the dream...
"What's more important is that I came into contact with the target during the day, and there was no hint of the existence of extraordinary power or the hidden occurrence of strange events...
"There will be no problems if you contact Zhou Mingrui in this way...
"Peng Deng is more special than Zhou Mingrui?"
Anthony calmly examined his own situation and thought about the process of this experiment.
When he felt that he could no longer resist the tendency to become a marionette, he took the initiative to exit the dream with the help of the power that tried to kick him away.
He opened his eyes and saw the dark ceiling and the crimson moonlight shining through the thick curtains.
Such a scene does not exist in the dream city.
Anthony listened to Franka talk about the real-life situation, briefly checked what he was carrying and the state of his body, then got out of bed and walked to the bathroom.
He originally planned to go to the bathroom in the dream city.
After a while, Anthony heard a knock on the door.
Without asking, he naturally knew that Ms. Justice and Ms. Susie were outside.
Anthony opened the door and as expected saw the Major Arcana card holder and the gentle and intellectual golden retriever dog.
Without waiting for his greeting, Ms. Justice asked in a soft voice:
"Why did you suddenly leave the dreamland?"
"I was kicked out." Anthony replied slightly confused.
Ms. Justice shook her head:
"Although I can no longer affect Mr. Fool's dreams, I have been monitoring the changes in the dreams.
"I don't see any signs of being repulsed by dreams."
"But..." Anthony did not question Ms. Justice's statement, and told him in full the details of how he came into contact with Peng Deng, how he self-isolated, and what he had just encountered.
Ms. Justice did not interrupt Anthony's words. She patiently and attentively listened to his statement. Then, she nodded gently and said:
"I think what you feel is the fear in your heart. Your fear turns the description of 'Two of Holy Cups' into reality, making you mistakenly think that you are being kicked out of the dream, so you choose to leave voluntarily.
"As a 'psychiatrist', you and I know very well that this level of fear, fear without warning, is not normal at all. This is the abnormality caused by your initial contact with Peng Deng during the day."
"Fear...the contact with Peng Deng induced my fear of being kicked out of the dream, and let it reach its peak in the early morning, transforming into an almost substantial hallucination?" Anthony recalled what he had done before, and recognized Ms. Justice.
He murmured thoughtfully, "This is also a manifestation of being watched by the Heavenly Lord, and is it a symbol of some of His abilities? Or, Peng Deng's specialness is not directly related to the Heavenly Lord, but has another source.
?”
"We're not sure either, because Peng Deng's role and position in Dream City are too special. We put him in the last few steps of confirming the situation. Unfortunately, we can't continue until we reach the corresponding part of the process.
It affects the dream. This is our 'Tarot Society''s first real contact with Peng Deng..." At this point, Ms. "Justice"'s green gem-like eyes turned slightly, her mouth was half-opened, and she stopped.
Subsequent words.
After two seconds, she said thoughtfully:
"Perhaps, there are certain problems in the matter of 'we put Peng Deng in the last part to test', but there are too many possible reasons, and 'fooling' can be done...
"Whether that Heavenly Lord can unconsciously induce the fear in your heart and let it explode at a specific moment, we also don't know. We still know very little about the authority of the 'divineer' path sequence 0 and the corresponding symbols of existence, especially
the latter."
Although Ms. Justice did not finish all her guesses, Anthony still had a rough idea of what she might be thinking, and said after careful consideration:
"Following up, a more detailed experimental plan will need to be designed individually for Peng Deng to determine the source of the problem.
"What is certain now is that there are certain differences between him and Zhou Mingrui, and the abnormalities that occur due to contact with them under the same conditions are different."
Ms. Justice smiled and said:
"Your contact with Peng Deng this time has been very rewarding for me.
"Well... don't rush back to the dreamland. Stay outside for three hours first, walk around the villa and have something to eat.
"This is not to say that there will be problems if you go back now. You have not been kicked out. We have no worries in this regard. This is just a simple adjustment to your psychological condition: after staying in the dream city for a long time, it is easy to be unable to distinguish between reality and reality.
Since the dream has been separated, it is best to experience reality again and deepen the corresponding psychological understanding."
"Yes, Ms. Justice." As a "psychiatrist", Anthony can naturally understand the meaning of these words.
To use a new word he learned in Dream City:
Be on guard against subtle changes.

After Lumian returned to the Science and Technology Building, he and Lao Xia continued to patrol the floors until they got off work at 0:30.
He "teleported" directly to the vicinity of Red Moon Hospital, and then used the mirror world to arrive outside Li Keji's ward, waiting for a possible attack.
Of course, he has not always been in the same location, nor has he always stayed at Red Moon Hospital.
He picked out three time periods that he thought were most suitable for assassination, and only ambush during these three time periods. The rest of the time he would normally sleep at home or play with his mobile phone.
During those three time periods, he would randomly select one of the six hiding places each time, and the two adjacent hiding places could not be the same.
This was to prevent Zarathustra and Tianzun's other subordinates from thinking that someone might use Li Keji to ambush them and carry out targeted attacks in reverse.
At dawn, Lumian went out to buy breakfast.
On the way, he deliberately turned into a secluded alley and met Jian Na.
This was agreed upon by both parties.
Jenna handed Ludwig over to Lumian. She had to go to Hall Film Company for an interview today and was unable to take care of the child.
Lumian looked around, told Jenna what happened last night, and asked her to share it with Franka.
Lumian finally said:
"Currently, it seems that contacting Zhou Mingrui during the day and reminding him of the existence of extraordinary powers is also risky, but he will not be hit by a precise blow. If Zhou Mingrui remembers his name and knows the corresponding danger, he will encounter a quick and mysterious encounter at night.
Coincidence, this may be avoided. It is currently impossible to determine whether it is an isolated attack. I will observe Zarathustra's situation again in the evening.
"Ask Luo Shan to find Zhou Mingrui and remind him about Zarathustra to see if he has forgotten the corresponding matters. Don't worry. After I told him about Zarathustra yesterday, Zhou Mingrui should
He has already guessed that Franca and Roxanne and I are in the same group. What he doesn’t know yet is the existence of you and Anthony.”
As soon as Jian Na said "hmm", the two of them received the friend application from "Anred" almost in no particular order.
After looking at each other, Lumian signaled Jenna not to rush in and approved the application.
After "Anred" told about last night's situation and Ms. Justice's guess, he confirmed the other party's identity and sent a voice message with a smile:
"Go back to the rental house and tell me in detail. I also gained a lot here."
"Peng Deng seems to be more special than we thought..." Lumian turned to Jenna and told Jenna about what happened to Anthony.
Jenna listened carefully, added Anthony, and waved goodbye to Lumian and Ludwig.
…………
Science and Technology Building, inside the Administration Department.
When Franka and Roxanne went to the bathroom together, they took advantage of the opportunity when no one was inside to tell each other the needs conveyed by Jenna.
Luo Shan asked a little nervously and excitedly:
"How should I prompt?"
Franka used her skills as an "instigator" to help come up with a rhetoric.
After more than half an hour, Zhou Mingrui, wearing a gray shirt, came to the administrative department again and asked Luo Shan if anything happened in the company recently. If he had to work overtime, he would have to work overtime for a while.
Good question! Luo Shan praised Zhou Mingrui in her heart and said with a smile:
"The merger negotiations between the group and a large company have entered the formal process.
"The owner of that company is Zarathustra, who has visited twice."
When the name "Zarathustra" was mentioned, Luo Shan looked at Zhou Mingrui, trying to read the change in expression on his face.
Zhou Mingrui suddenly realized:
"Previously, Mr. Huang asked me to pick him up at the airport and act as a translator and explainer. Unfortunately, I didn't receive the call."
"He came to visit the company, and you weren't there either. It seems that he asked for sick leave? He came yesterday and was always on the sixteenth floor. He didn't visit other departments. You haven't seen him yet," Luo Shan said deliberately.
This is the excuse Franka made up for her.
Zhou Mingrui was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe there is some force in the dark that prevents me from meeting him."
After chatting for a few more words, Zhou Mingrui left Luo Shan's workstation and walked out the door.
When he passed Franka's position, Franka suddenly spoke:
"careful!"
Zhou Mingrui turned sideways and looked at Luo Fu.
Franka pointed to the wet marks on the ground and said:
"I just spilled some water on the ground. It's a bit slippery, so be careful."
"Oh, you scared me." Zhou Mingrui responded with a smile.
He bypassed the area with wet marks and left the administrative department. The smile on his face gradually faded:
"Lov asked me to be careful? Roxanne just mentioned Zarathustra...
"Together they are telling me to beware of Zarathustra?
"Well, they and Li Ming are indeed in the same group..."
In the administrative department, Roxanne sent a message to Franka:
"He is somewhat wary of that enemy, and he probably hasn't forgotten your reminder."
