Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 960  Psychiatric Ward

Using the cover of the parents in front, Lumian discreetly observed Zaratulstra’s every move.

After listening to Ai Nana’s introduction for a few minutes, Zaratulstra nodded, left the door of the Business English class, and turned to look at the other training classes currently in session.

He didn’t do anything… Lumian was puzzled, but remained vigilant.

It wasn’t until Zaratulstra finished touring Dream Tutoring Classes and Ai Nana escorted him and his entourage out, returning to teach the Business English class, that Lumian sat back in his original seat and silently said to himself, He’s leaving just like that?

Was he simply here to recognize Zhou Mingrui, complete the initial contact, or did he secretly do something that I didn’t notice? For example, has he already controlled Ms. Ai, or discreetly used some ability to achieve his predetermined goal from just a few meters away?

After thinking it through, Lumian picked up his phone and sent a message to Jenna: “Ask Luo Shan to remind the target via WeChat to pay attention to his condition today, not to drink water he brought to the tutoring class, and to buy new water later.”

This was to indirectly and subtly remind Zhou Mingrui, and at the same time, it was an experiment to see if hints conveyed through dream characters during the day would bring any anomalies to themselves.

A few minutes later, Zhou Mingrui, who was listening attentively to the lecture, felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

He took out his phone, lowered his head, unlocked the screen, and saw a message from Luo Shan: “Remember to examine yourself three times a day, and don’t drink water you’ve brought outside.”

What does this mean? I can’t make head or tail of the message. It’s puzzling… Zhou Mingrui first grumbled to himself, then perceived the hidden reminder.

He hadn’t yet fully determined whether Luo Shan was good or bad, whether she had more good intentions or bad intentions towards him, but the hint to frequently examine his own condition and not drink the current water wouldn’t cause any harm even if he followed it.

In such matters, it’s better to believe something existed than to doubt its existence!

Zhou Mingrui replied with an “Okay” and stuffed the phone back into his pocket, raising his head again.

He didn’t look at the bottle of mineral water he had placed on the table again.

Outside the classroom, Lumian once again scrutinized Zaratulstra’s recent behavior.

He just looked at Zhou Mingrui from a few meters away for a while, without trying to get closer…

Whether or not he did anything secretly, this behavior makes me feel that he doesn’t dare to deeply engage with Zhou Mingrui, to do some things in front of that person…

Combined with Franca’s morning description of the feeling of being kicked out of the dream and the overt and covert struggles in the lottery incident, it can be seen that Mr. Fool has a certain control over the dream, at least not much weaker than the Celestial Worthy. In this situation, if Zaratulstra stimulates him and his identity is discovered or locked onto, he is likely to be made into a marionette or kicked out of the dream…

In the dream city, it’s not just us who need to be careful, the Celestial Worthy’s subordinates also have to follow the same rules…

Thinking of this, Lumian’s train of thought became much clearer.

He stood up and began pacing in the corridor, thinking about the details of some issues while waiting for the possible consequences of indirectly reminding Zhou Mingrui.

Walking to the end of the passageway, he casually glanced outside through the window.

He suddenly saw that across the street, Zaratulstra walked out of the building accompanied by a young girl, followed by his entourage and many unfamiliar faces.

Lumian was very familiar with the appearance of that young girl.

The Major Arcana card holder, The Hermit, Queen of Stars Cattleya!

In the dream city, Ma’am Hermit’s role is Huang Jiajia, roommate of Miss Bernie Huang, and because she lost a bet, she always calls Bernie Huang ‘dad’… Mr. Fool’s subconscious weaving of relationships is quite interesting…

Only then did he send a message to “Intis Group Grimm”: “Time and place.”

Just a dozen seconds later, Grimm responded: “I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Mushu Hospital.”

Mushu Hospital… Lumian frowned slightly.

…

Under the blazing sunlight, Lumian saw Grimm standing in the shade of a tree.

The security director of the Intis Group had changed into a light-colored striped shirt and was wearing sunglasses, disguising himself quite well.

“What’s the matter?” Lumian walked past Grimm, heading straight into Mushu Hospital.

Grimm followed behind him to the side, saying with a smile in his voice, “You’ll know when you see it. This should be one of the purposes Mother wanted you to come here for.”

The way you’re talking, it feels like you’ve dug a trap in front and are waiting for me to fall in… Lumian nodded slightly, not asking further.

Wouldn’t asking too much reveal that there’s actually no connection between me and the Great Mother?

Grimm quickened his pace, overtaking him, and led the way in front.

He led Lumian around the main building to a three-story building behind it, surrounded by high walls, with a lawn and garden.

“This is the psychiatric ward,” Grimm introduced, verifying his identity with the security guard and passing through the iron gate.

Lumian nodded thoughtfully.

The two quickly entered the building, and just as they climbed to the second floor under the nurse’s guidance, they heard a patient banging on the iron door and shouting, “Let me out!

“I’m not sick! I only lost after fighting with two supreme beings to the edge of the universe, and you caught me, I’m not sick!

“This is my marionette, this is my paper figurine, look, I have them all with me, I’m not crazy!

“I’ve divined it, there’s no danger, really no danger. That voice is normal, haven’t you heard it?

“Let me out! Let me out!”

Lumian raised his right eyebrow.

Which Seer pathway Beyonder is this? At least a Marionettist…

Lumian immediately associated this with the Marionettist who hadn’t intervened when they killed the reanimated female corpse, and thought of the madman found in the garbage dump near Moon Plazal the next morning, who had been sent to the hospital.

Is this the Marionettist who went mad? So he was sent to the psychiatric ward of Mushu Hospital… What voice did he hear? Did that cause him to go mad? As Lumian pondered, his footsteps didn’t stop. He followed behind the nurse and Grimm all the way to the end of an empty corridor.

The nurse stood at the door of the deepest ward and said to Grimm and Lumian, “The patient is inside. You can look at him through the window, but don’t reach your hands in.”

After saying this, she turned and left, without providing any further warnings.

After watching the nurse disappear at the stairwell, Grimm smiled at Lumian and said,

“Child of God, Li Keji is inside.”

Li Keji… Frank Lee? Although Lumian had already anticipated this, he was still shocked.
