The Queen's Request

Franca showed Lumian the "Queen of Mysteries's" reply and asked for his opinion:

Should I go?

Lumian replied without hesitation, "I'll go."

"Okay." Franca understood Lumian's meaning.

She must now shift entirely to behind-the-scenes support and avoid meeting important figures unless she finds an opportunity to drive others to Despair.

Sometimes, it's better to let Ludwig go!

Franca hesitated for a moment, then quickly pressed the screen:

"I have important business this afternoon. Would it be alright if Lumian-na met with you in my place?"

After sending the message, Franca glanced at Lumian and added:

"She knows more details about it than I do."

"Yes," the "Queen of Mysteries" replied quickly.

Franca then said to Lumian, "Go to the ' Queen of Mysteries ' in Women guise. Don't reveal your identity as Security Guard Li Ming. Although the ' Queen of Mysteries ' is our ally, we can't let her know everything, especially since we need to maintain an undercover identity."

When Lumian last collaborated with the "Queen of Mysteries" to fight Zarathustra, she also transformed into the "Witch of Despair."

Lumian raised an eyebrow and clicked his tongue, saying, "It seems your IQ has increased since you found yourself in a situation where you'd Loss of Control and die if you were kicked out of the Dream."

Franca, used to exchanging witty remarks with Lumian, scoffed and said, "What does this prove? It proves that I'm inherently intelligent, just too lazy to think things through. Anyway, you're not stupid; you can easily do it for me."

Ludwig, having finished his hamburger in the back seat, looked up and wholeheartedly agreed:

"Yeah yeah."

This caused Franca to fall silent.

It doesn't seem quite right for Ludwig to agree with me...

"I'll go buy you lunch, then I'll scout out the location and wait to meet the ' Queen of Mysteries.'" Having once again stirred up Franca's emotions, making her even more energetic, Lumian pushed open the car door and got out.

2 PM, No. 15 Jinhua Street.

After changing into a Women's shirt and loose trousers, and putting on sunglasses and a mask, Lumian used "Teleportation" to bypass the guards and went directly into the Library warehouse—"Lumian-na" was still a wanted person, so he couldn't openly find a reason to enter.

There was no one in the Library warehouse. Lumian looked at the piles of packaged goods and the tall iron shelves, and slowly walked forward.

Suddenly, a lush peach orchard appeared before him, with blossoming Flowers and winding streams that flowed into a towering mountain range and into a small cave.

This isolated Lumian from the outside world.

Immediately afterwards, the "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette emerged from the peach grove.

Her slightly wavy chestnut hair was simply tied up, and she wore a loose-fitting, patterned white T-shirt with a knot tied at her waist. She exuded youthful energy and had a strong student vibe, making it impossible to doubt that Huang Beibei was precocious.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Bernadette," Lumian said, removing his sunglasses and mask.

He greatly admired Emperor Roselle and naturally held the "Queen of Mysteries" in high regard.

Bernadette nodded slightly and said, "Good afternoon."

She skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point:

"Tell me everything that happened last night, not just about the ' Person in the Mirror '."

Lumian only concealed some details such as his own Change. Starting from when Rosanne used her "reporter" ability and suddenly heard Franca and Jenna talking, she realized that she was just a phantom in someone else's Dream. She talked about returning to the Mushu Hospital, seeing Grisha Peng Deng's roommate, on the scene through someone else's short video, and the problem of the Colorful-Feathered Parrot in the Oil Painting.

The "Queen of Mysteries" listened very quietly, without interrupting or asking for details.

Only after Lumian stopped did she ask, "Is Luo Fu Transmigrator?"

The "Queen of Mysteries" knows about Transmigrator... Well, that makes sense. The Transmigrator have done quite a few things over the years, perhaps even translating the Emperor's diary for her, and she can also enter and leave Mr. The Fool's Dream City... Lumian nodded.

"Yes."

"Since Luo Fu saw her Past self in those ' Cocoon ' on the Light Gate, does she believe that everyone inside the ' Cocoon ' Transmigrator?" the Queen of Mysteries asked further.

"Without a doubt, that's what she thinks." Lumian probably already guessed what the "Queen of Mysteries" really wanted to ask, but still answered cooperatively.

"What's her guess about those three empty ' Cocoon '?" The "Queen of Mysteries's " youthful face remained calm.

Here it comes, the real problem has arrived... Lumian thought to himself, and answered truthfully, "She suspects it's the Ancient Sun God, Emperor Roselle, and Mr. ' The Fool '."

Bernadette's expression Change slightly, but she showed no sign of shock.

She said to Lumian, "The Ancient Sun God may not have emerged from a ' Cocoon '; he may have had another origin."

"Uh..." Lumian was taken aback.

If it wasn't the Ancient Sun God, then who emerged from that "Cocoon"?

Bernadette didn't explain, she just mentioned it briefly.

She said with a sigh, "No wonder Mr. The Fool's Dream contained all the fairy tales and legends I've ever heard."

"No wonder those fairy tales and legends have the power to Mystical Reappearance..."

Lumian shut his mouth, unsure how to respond.

After joining the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society," he actually learned where Emperor Roselle's inventions, writings, and famous quotes came from, and after entering the Dream City, he was even more certain of this.

However, he still admired Roselle, believing that the Emperor's life story—from a mortal to Crown and finally to a divine throne—was rare and inspiring, making people yearn for it. Moreover, the Emperor did indeed change the trend of the times, the world situation, and every aspect of the country of Intis. His legacy is still often mentioned today, still benefiting many people in the lower and middle classes, and still changing the Destiny of some people.

Bernadette turned to look at the dazzling, dreamlike pink peach blossom forest, like a fiery sunset, and murmured to herself, "Actually, he rarely told me that those fairy tales and legends were written by himself, imagined by himself..."

"Most of the time, he would say, 'I've compiled the fairy tales I heard when I was little. I'll tell you the stories your grandmother used to tell me, the stories that belong only to us. These are the stories of my dreams, the stories that brought me so much imagination. I hope they can also make your childhood beautiful and dreamy...'"

"When he said these things, it was as if he was reflecting on his own childhood through me..."

Lumian suddenly smiled, lowered her head slightly, and said, "My Older Sister has also told me some fairy tales, and I always have a similar feeling when she tells them."

At that moment, he felt a strong connection with the "Queen of Mysteries".

One's father was Transmigrator, and the other's Older Sister was Transmigrator (www. hetushu. com. com). They have both passed away, but a glimmer of hope for their Resurrection remains.

The "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette looked back at Lumian and nodded slightly:

"It wasn't until I entered this Dream City and lived there for a while that I felt I truly understood him."

"Me too," Lumian replied with a self-deprecating smile.

The "Queen of Mysteries" quickly shook off her sentimental state and said to Lumian, "I would like to ask you for a favor."

"What kind of help?" Lumian perked up.

The "Queen of Mysteries" paused for a few seconds before saying, "Whether she is currently cooperating with the That One she believes in from the Aurora Order Society, or has jumped back to the Celestial Worthy's camp, or is wavering between the two, her ultimate goal is not what I want to see or what I am willing to accept."

"I hesitated for a while, but today I finally made up my mind to kick her out of the Dream as soon as possible, so that she can no longer benefit from this reality and the Library Dream. For this, I am willing to accept the consequence of never being able to come to this city again."

"You intend to take action against the Emperor Roselle in the mirror soon?" Lumian suddenly realized.

He noticed that the "Queen of Mysteries" referred to the Emperor Roselle in the mirror not as "He," representing Angel, but as "She," symbolizing Women.

"Yes." The "Queen of Mysteries" nodded almost imperceptibly. "Even with the Sealed Artifact, it would be difficult for me to expel her from the Dream on my own, so I need your help."

"No problem, you've been a great help to us in the Zarathustra affair," Lumian readily agreed.

The image of Emperor Roselle in the mirror shows a wavering stance. Lumian dares not gamble that he will definitely side with Mr. The Fool, so it is better to eliminate the potential threat in advance.

The "Queen of Mysteries" added, "I will pay you an advance for this help..."

There's no need to be so polite. We didn't pay them when we dealt with Zarathustra either... Before Lumian could reply, the "Queen of Mysteries" stated the exact amount:

500,000.

How much? Lumian subconsciously doubted his own hearing.

He immediately realized that the "Queen of Mysteries" was also using this incident to give them money.

This also broke the suspected limit of 30,000.

Does this mean the "Queen of Mysteries" has decided to ignore the situation and is prepared to be kicked out of the Dream for the third time? Lumian tentatively asked, "When do you plan to make your move?"

"The sooner the better," Bernadette said succinctly.

Lumian considered for a moment and said, "Between 3 PM tomorrow and 3 PM the day after tomorrow."

"Tomorrow at 2:30 PM, I'll go to the rent from Star Dream General Store an item, which might come in handy after Zhou Shasha arrives in Yangdu."

Zhou Shasha will take the high-speed train to Yangdu the day after tomorrow at noon.

Lumian's goal is to rent it once and use it twice, including banishing the image of Emperor Roselle from the Dream and dealing with the Mutation brought about by Zhou Shasha's entry into the Dream City.

"Okay." The "Queen of Mysteries" didn't waste any more words.

She thought for a moment and said, "Since Huang Jiajia and the others have become the Celestial Worthy Venerable's Marionette, Lü Yong'an, the ' Great Mother's' Attendant, has also discovered the falsehood of your Divine Child identity, then you must be wary of them suddenly attacking Li Keji and extinguishing the last hope of curing An Xiaotian."

Upon hearing this, Lumian suddenly tensed up.

Yes!

After last night's events, whether it's the Celestial Worthy trying to eliminate the hidden dangers or the "Great Mother" wanting to maintain balance, Li Keji is likely to become a key target!

Lumian had originally planned to visit Li Keji late at night to see if the Mushrooms had met the requirements.

Now it seems we must go as soon as possible, right now!
