A solution

Seeing Zhou Mingrui looking at her, waiting for an answer, Rosanne said uncertainly, "It seems to be normal now..."

She initially thought Zhou Mingrui wouldn't believe her judgment, since nothing had happened, nothing had been encountered, and Luo Fu wasn't even known if she had been rescued yet. How could he say she was "normal"?

To everyone's surprise, Zhou Mingrui nodded thoughtfully.

I think so too.

After a couple of seconds, Zhou Mingrui asked, "Do we still need to look for Luo Fu?"

"I... I'll observe a little longer..." Rosanne cautiously walked to the edge of the elevator and peeked inside.

She looked left and right and felt that apart from being too quiet and having no one around, this place was no different from the underground parts of other hospitals.

In the shadows of a corner of the Emergency Center.

Lumian and Franca both saw Jenna was wearing a nightgown, looking lost and unsure of what to do.

She was kicked out of the Dream... The two experienced people made their judgments without taking turns.

At that moment, Jenna also saw Luo Fu and Lumian-na, and her previously tense and worried heart suddenly relaxed.

Without saying much, Lumian grabbed Jenna's arm with his other hand and disappeared into the shadows with her.

The three then returned to Room 2303, Building 5, Dechuang Garden.

After confirming the situation in the room, Lumian said to Jenna, "Everything's alright now, you can go and rest."

He had no way of knowing what "rationalization" the Dream Image "Jenna" would have for what had just happened, so he spoke vaguely to avoid any cognitive conflict.

As for the "Teleportation" aspect, it can no longer be hidden. In any case, Zhou Mingrui has come to a deep understanding of the existence of supernatural forces during this period of time, and there are indeed many Beyonder active in the Dream City.

Jenna looked around in surprise, then obediently replied, "Okay."

After she entered the room and lay down on the bed, Lumian helped close the bedroom door, then turned to Franca and said, "We're going back to Mushu Hospital now. We'll discuss what happened there."

Franca didn't ask why, and slowly nodded.

Using "Teleportation," Lumian brought Franca to the green belt outside the Mushu Hospital, turning his gaze to the Emergency Center and the building.

After seeing the shattered glass and charred walls, Lumian said to Franca, "I think today's events are a bit of a coincidence. At the same time that Zhou Mingrui came to investigate the situation at Mushu Hospital, you guys actually appeared in the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital."

"What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing the word "coincidence," Franca's emotions fluctuated slightly.

She rallied her spirits and recounted how she and Jenna had drifted off to sleep and ended up in the Underground the Mushu Hospital, where she met Rosanne and shared her suspicions and the psychological traumas she had subsequently encountered.

"Then, the corridor began to collapse." Franca paused her story and fell silent again.

Lumian glanced at her sideways, but didn't press for details. She continued, "It is indeed a coincidence. Looking at it separately, whether it's Zhou Mingrui choosing to investigate the situation at Mushu Hospital tonight because of my reminder during the day and his own initiative, or Rosanne being traumatized and having her psychological shadow cast by a hidden force that cleverly influenced her by the nature of Dream, the tendency of psychological shadows to converge, and the close connection with Mysticism, thus 'leading' you into the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital, both are logically sound and could happen normally."

"But it's clearly abnormal that these two events occurred at the same time and influenced each other."

"At the same time, I received a warning from Lü Yong'an and followed Zhou Mingrui to infiltrate Mushu Hospital."

Franca instinctively said, "But who can arrange things for Zhou Mingrui?"

"There's no need to arrange for him, arranging for us is enough." Lumian, in her "Witch of Despair" form, sneered. "It's uncertain when Zhou Mingrui will come to Mushu Hospital to investigate, but as soon as we find out he's here, we can start the other side."

"The force lurking in or near Rosanne's room must have been there for some time. Why did it have to be tonight, of all times, to exert its influence on Rosanne?"

Franca paused for a moment, as if she had finally regained her ability to think:

"Lü Yong'an was also targeted?"

"Not necessarily. It's also possible that they discovered the problem with me as the Divine Child and that something was going to happen tonight, so they chose to lure me here and use your predicament to force me to become the true Divine Child," Lumian said after a few seconds of thought. "Lü Yong'an is likely not Dream Image like Green's, influenced by the ' Great Mother '; she has an external consciousness."

At this point, Lumian paused, her gaze turning cold as she muttered to herself, "The Guardian of Women and Children..."

Inside Mushu Hospital, the building's power supply system was not affected by the Lightning Strike; only the floor separating the upper and lower levels was charred in a very obvious way, and one set of elevators stopped working.

Lü Yong'an walked down the dimly lit corridor and arrived at a room.

There was a wooden sign on the door of the room with five Chinese characters written on it:

"Dean's Office"

Lü Yong'an knocked on the door and entered, saying to the person beside the broken Glass Window, "She still didn't choose her mother's help."

"Understood." A voice rang out.

Inside the Luxury Villa in Trier.

While observing Franca's "sleeping state," Jenna told the "Judgement" Lady, the "Magician" Lady, and the "Justice" Lady about what they had encountered and Franca's choices.

After she finished speaking, the "Magician" Lady nodded thoughtfully and said, "What exactly they want us to gain from tonight's events, and what their true purpose is, is still uncertain..."

Before she could finish speaking, "Lady Justice" looked at the Slumber Franca and said, "' The Two of Cups ' has left the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital and can roughly sense her and her surroundings."

Upon hearing this, Jenna suddenly swayed, as if she had lost the strength to stand up straight due to being too relaxed for a moment.

Her breathing immediately became heavy, and after a few seconds she asked, "Are you alright?"

"It's not entirely true that everything is alright." The "Magician" Lady withdrew her gaze from the Slumber Franca.

Jenna seemed to understand, and said with great concern, "Yes, she performed Ritual in her Dream, cleverly advancing to Sequence 4 and becoming the ' Witch of Despair.' We don't know how long it will take her to digest the ' Despair ' Potion, and..."

Jenna suddenly stopped, not saying anything more.

What she originally meant to say was, "Our goal is to awaken Mr. ' The Fool ' as soon as possible and end this Dream, which contradicts the prerequisite for Franca's survival."

In front of the Major Arcana, she dared not utter those words, afraid to hear the cruel answer.

The "Justice" Lady revealed a gentle smile with a touch of playfulness:

"I understand how you feel, but it's not really a problem, or rather, it's not as serious as you think."

"Huh?" Jenna was surprised, delighted, and astonished.

The "Justice" Lady maintained her smile.

"First of all, the ' Despair ' Potion from ' The Two of Cups ' is progressing very quickly. It has already completed the part of 'making oneself Despair,' and now it just needs to find opportunities to 'make others Despair.' If it can summarize more detailed Acting Principle during this process, the digestion speed will be even faster."

Hearing this, Jenna paused for a moment:

"He's already consumed almost half of the ' Despair ' Potion right after his promotion?"

"This is similar to Lumian's situation back then, except that Lumian quickly drove two Gift Half-God to Despair..."

"Yes," Lady "Magician" nodded in agreement, "Your situation at the time and what happened afterward could easily have driven you to Despair, and Mr. ' The Fool's' psychological shadow may contain something that made Franca completely Despair, something that made her desire, some motivation, utterly extinguish her hope."

Jenna's Eyes flickered slightly as she said, "What a coincidence..."

Lady Justice sighed and smiled, "That's one point. Another reason I said the ' Two of Cups ' Dream advancement wasn't too serious is that if we have just a little time, a few minutes, even if she leaves the Dream now and returns to reality, she won't die; she'll just have to pay a different price."

"Really?" Jenna was both surprised and bewildered.

"The 'Justice ' Lady smiled and said, 'Due to limitations, there are indeed many things we cannot do, but there are also quite a few things we can do.'"

"Those Sunless ' through the ' Sun ' Pathway can separate Beyonder Characteristic, and even allow the traits within Beyonder to gradually emerge, from high to low. While the ' Two of Cups ' is an advancement in the Dream, reality also advances accordingly. This is the fundamental reason why she cannot escape the Dream before she has fully digested the Potion."

"In other words, we can have Mr. ' Sun ' separate the Beyonder Characteristic of the ' Witch of Despair ' from the body of ' Two of Cups ' in reality. I will be responsible for stabilizing her mental state during this process. Once her physical body in reality regresses to the level of the ' Witch of Pain,' there will be no problem with her Loss of Control on the spot when she leaves the Dream, as you are worried about."

"Of course, this solution will inevitably leave some problems, some of which can even be considered serious. That's why we didn't mention this other solution before. But compared to going Loss of Control and dying, they are all acceptable."

Jenna was a little stunned:

Does advancement in Dream lead to advancement in reality, while a decline in reality causes a decline in Dream?

If you can't influence Dream, how can you change reality?

Hidden in the shadows within the greenbelt outside Mushu Hospital, Lumian observed the building, the Patient coming and going, and the emergency responders who had just arrived, but found no noteworthy targets.

After remaining silent for an unknown period of time, Franca finally spoke:

"They may have already left, or they may not have even been to the scene."

"Yeah, you can scroll through short videos. The building's windows shattered, and it was struck by lightning. There must be a lot of people filming and uploading videos. Maybe they've captured something."

"Yes." Lumian took out his phone and started scrolling through local news, watching every single video.

When he saw the video titled "Oh my god, all the glass is broken," he suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the corner of the screen, on the edge of the Emergency Center.

The figure had blond, slightly disheveled hair, azure Eyes, short eyebrows, a prominent beard, and wore a black shirt.

Lumian's gaze froze instantly.

This is Grisha.

Grisha, Peng Deng's roommate!
