"Gift"

Inside Rented Apartment in Xinhong Community.

After telling Anthony the results of his discussion with Franca and instructing him to hand Ludwig over to Franca before testing Peng Deng, Lumian lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes, entered a Meditation state, and sketched his own image in his mind.

Then, he imagined himself leaping out from an extremely high place and plummeting rapidly in free fall.

In this state, he could hear the whistling Wind Sound in his ears.

But he did not immediately escape the Dream. He vaguely heard humans talking in the wind, and words came from different directions.

At this moment, Lumian felt as if he had returned to the Cordou Village, back to a warm summer afternoon, when he was lying on top of a haystack, dozing off. Nearby, old women were gathered together, picking lice from each other and gossiping about the village. Children ran around, farmers returned to the village early from their work, and members of the Parish Priest's family passed by, grumbling and cursing...

Lumian opened his eyes, and could still smell the scent of Grass mixed with sheep dung.

He let out a breath, then got out of bed, walked out of the room, and went to the first floor of the Luxury Villa.

The "Justice" Lady, the "Magician" Lady, and the "Judgement" Lady are all in the living room.

"Important intelligence?" Lady Justice knew that unless it was something extremely crucial, Lumian wouldn't voluntarily leave the Dream.

She failed to notice that the current Real Dream strongly rejected Lumian, meaning that Lumian was not kicked out of the Dream.

"Yes." Lumian sat down on the Armchair. "It all started with a psychological trauma that Franca witnessed in the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital."

The "Justice" Lady glanced at Lumian for a few seconds:

"Let's start with how you rescued the ' Two of Cups.' The ' Seven of Cups ' was kicked out of the Dream too early and doesn't know much about it."

Lumian smiled and said, "I used Corpse Oil Candle."

"You completed a Mysticism Ritual and received feedback?" The "Magician" Lady had already roughly guessed what had happened from the Change in Lumian's physical body and the stress response that appeared in Fourth Epoch Trier; now she was simply confirming it.

Lumian described what he saw, heard, and felt during the Mysticism Ritual in words, and concluded by saying, "The Residual Aura of the ' Blood Emperor ' has undergone a noticeable Change, and it has somewhat merged with the seal of the ' Underworld Daoist.' I also seem to have something extra on me, but I can't detect it."

As he spoke, he showed the old blood spots hidden beneath the Paleness skin of his palm.

The "Magician" Lady nodded slightly, and countless dazzling starlight shone in the Depths of her Eyes, slowly rotating.

After twenty or thirty seconds, she said with a smile, "I don't know whether to say you're lucky or unlucky."

That terrifying will not only watched over you, but also granted you power.

"However, due to the lack of the necessary Ritual and the presence of the ' Underworld Daoist ' seal, that power merged with the Residual Aura of the ' Blood Emperor ' and remained sealed, making it unusable. Otherwise, you would already be Gift ' War Bishop ' or something else."

"Although this power was sealed, it still had some impact on you. For example, the Soul Fragments of the villagers of Cordou Village, which I sealed, underwent some Mutation and are now ready to become your 'soldiers'."

"No wonder I vaguely heard everyone 'talking' when I came out of the Dream just now..." Lumian suddenly realized.

What I found within myself was a new kind of power.

The "Magician" Lady continued, "Whether that power itself has any hidden dangers, I can't see at the moment, but after it merged with the Residual Aura the ' Blood Emperor's' aura, there are bound to be hidden dangers; its activity has become even stronger."

At this point, the "Magician" Lady paused for a moment:

"With the Ombella bloodline within you, without the ' Underworld Daoist's' seal, I suspect you would have conceived, been unable to abort, and given birth to a deeply Corruption, Mutation version of Alista Tudor."

"Then wouldn't the ' Blood Emperor ' have to call me 'Dad'?" Lumian, in her "Witch of Despair" form, chuckled.

"You should call her 'Mom'," the "Magician" Lady corrected.

Lumian didn't continue the topic, but instead talked about how he entered the Whirlpool, how he took advantage of the Lightning Strike to open a passage, and how he rescued Franca.

"It seems our efforts were worthwhile." Lady. "Justice" smiled with satisfaction.

"Which Deity does that Incantation involve?" Lumian asked.

"The Justice Lady" grunted and said, "' Lord of Storms,' that's His true name. Don't pronounce it carelessly. Lightning damage is area-of-effect and indiscriminate. Moreover, Mr. The Fool's avatar has used this to trigger Lightning Strike. His subconscious perception is that the Lightning brought by this Incantation is extremely terrifying and highly destructive."

"The true name of Deity is used as Incantation?" How come the incarnation of "The Fool" is more like "The Provocateur" than I am? Lumian nodded slightly.

He paused for two seconds before saying, "I was prepared for myself to collapse Loss of Control due to the Mysticism Ritual, and even die. I had only one thought: to open the Abyss passage as soon as possible, or to destroy that illusory Abyss."

"That might not be enough, so I asked Jenna and Rosanne to ask Zhou Mingrui, who is in the Emergency Center of Mushu Hospital, to take a look at the Underground Area. I don't know if this will bring good results or bad Change, or how high the probability of making up for any problems, but these are not the most important things at the time."

As she spoke, Lumian, in her "Witch of Despair" form, slightly raised her chin.

The "Justice" Lady, the "Magician" Lady, and the "Judgement" Lady all fell silent.

Lumian smiled brightly and continued, "If that really would have devastating consequences, and you've detected it, you can kill my body in the real world beforehand to stop it all."

"It's good to be dead. When you're dead, you won't know anything, and you won't have to care about anything."

After exchanging glances for a few seconds, the "Justice" Lady, the "Magician" Lady, and the "Judgement" Lady sighed and gave each other a warm, calming smile.

"I don't agree with your style, but I'm glad to see that you have your own thoughts and choices."

The "Magician" Lady sighed and said, "If you encounter something similar again, you can try reciting my Honorific Name. The power that seals those Soul Fragments within you comes from me. I can use them as a medium and exert a certain influence through the connection created by my Honorific Name, but success is not guaranteed."

"Furthermore, if you're willing to be permanently expelled from the Dream City as a way to escape this predicament, I can give you an even better Incantation."

Lumian relaxed his straight back a little, and his chin was no longer slightly raised.

He asked curiously, "What Incantation?"

"The Honorific Name Director Ya Yagaitze." The "Magician" Lady laughed. "Reciting this Dream will have no effect, and might even unknowingly turn the reciter into Marionette of the Celestial Worthy. But reciting it in Dream can attract attention and open any passage. However, the Director Ya is essentially an image created by the fusion of Mr. 'The Door's' residual spirit and the Dream Subconsciousness, possessing special symbolism. His actions may be influenced by the Celestial Worthy, but relatively speaking, compared to reciting Mr. ' The Fool's' Honorific Name, the interference is less."

"It can be like this..." Lumian said thoughtfully, "Were we too bound by the superficial rules of the Dream City before? We were trying too hard to Acting of citizens with extraordinary powers... Remember, you were just Acting; it's essentially Dream..."

The "Magician" Lady chuckled, "We've thought about this problem too. The idea of using Director Ya's Honorific Name was my own, but before finding a loophole in the rules that you'd better not break them lightly. Otherwise, hehe, there are too many painful lessons to be learned from the past, so I won't list them all."

Lumian nodded and, after composing himself, recounted in detail the scenes Franca had witnessed in the psychological shadow at the bottom of the Abyss of Illusion, her speculations, and the problems she had discovered.

Finally, he said, "After Franca realized that Mr. The Fool was a ' Transmigrator,' she discovered that she had overlooked the names Sherlock Moriarty and Merlin Hermes. Logically, she should have immediately deduced from them that Mr. The Fool was also a ' Transmigrator ' like her, only guessing that he Transmigration from another world."

"In the Dream City, many of our thoughts seem to be restricted, and we unconsciously overlook some things, like An Xiaotian's problem, like the evidence that Mr. ' The Fool ' is a ' Transmigrator '. This may be the will of the Celestial Worthy Venerable at work, creating a Fooling effect."

"And what He deliberately makes us ignore and avoid is most likely where the right direction lies."

The "Justice" Lady listened attentively, her expression initially showing surprise and astonishment, but quickly revealing relief and gratitude.

The "Magician" Lady and the "Judgement" Lady had similar reactions.

After Lumian finished speaking, "Justice" Lady eyes sparkled as she recalled, "You don't know the occasion or the manner in which we first saw Mr. ' The Fool,' or his subsequent behavior. Therefore, you certainly can't understand why we didn't consider the possibility that Mr. ' The Fool ' might be Transmigrator, Ordinary Person who gradually grew up..."

"It was only after the Calamity in Cordou Village that I vaguely felt such a possibility existed," the "Magician" Lady added.

The "Justice" Lady's expression softened, and a smile appeared on her face.

"To have done so much with a mortal body, to have reached this level, to have confronted the Celestial Worthy with true Humanity —I... I have even greater respect for Mr. ' The Fool,' and, well, even greater heartache for him..."

Lumian asked curiously, "What things has Mr. ' The Fool ' done?"

In his view, the current "The Fool" was much closer; this Great Ones had once been human and was even a "fellow countryman" of Aurora.

Lumian only knew about Gehrman Sparrow and what the Holy Scripture said.

"We can explain it to you in detail, but let's discuss the key issues you've identified first," Lady. Justice said with a smile.
