Preparations in Full Swing

"Yes, something came up at home." Franca answered Zhou Mingrui's question first, then, quick-wittedly, said, "I'm going to find Rosanne. After I've dealt with things at home, I'll invite you all to dinner so we can have a good chat."

She emphasized the word "good".

Zhou Mingrui looked at Luo Fu for a few seconds, as if he was considering and weighing his options.

Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk another day."

He could tell that Luo Fu wasn't really interested in saying anything right now, as if she was afraid of something unknown.

Franca quietly breathed a sigh of relief and waved sincerely:

See you later!

Turning around, she muttered silently, somewhat relieved:

Fortunately, Zhou Mingrui wasn't the kind of stubborn person people in Yangdu described. He could read people's expressions and listen to what they said!

Hall Film Company, Artists Department.

During a break in her physical education class, Jenna walked out of the classroom and headed towards the Public Restroom.

Along the way, she met Jiang Yue, who was in charge of waiting for the newcomers.

Seeing Jiang Yue busy there, she asked curiously, "What are you busy with?"

"The summer movie season is over, and ' The Great Pirate 3 ' is about to leave theaters. We need to prepare a celebration party, follow-up development, and a whole host of other things." Jiang Yue looked up and saw it was Jenna, whose attitude was fairly friendly.

Is Great Pirate 3 about to end? Jenna paused for a moment.

Based on the common sense she had learned after entering the Dream City, she thought this was a very normal thing, but she also felt that it came at a rather unfortunate time:

Once Lumian returns to the Dream, they will try to get Ludwig to eat the dried Mushrooms to see if he can gain special healing abilities to awaken the vegetative An Xiaotian, Gehrman An Xiaotian.

At this crucial stage, the film * Great Pirate 3 *, which further shaped Gehrman Sparrow's character and brought him widespread recognition, is about to be completely removed from theaters?

Does this contain some kind of symbolism?

Jenna carefully considered her words, then asked seemingly casually, "Is the stage play adaptation of ' The Great Pirate 3 ' officially on the agenda?"

"Yes, you can try your luck then, maybe you can get an important role," Jiang Yue hinted to Jenna.

Inside a spacious, bright, and modernly decorated Apartment.

As soon as Bernadette entered, she saw Lumian-na reclining on the bay window, her back against a pillow, basking in the Sunlight, leisurely reading a book in her hands.

"What are you looking at?" Bernadette Past and asked casually.

"A romance novel, the really melodramatic kind." Lumian-na closed the book a little embarrassedly.

She tried to explain, "I might end up in jail later. I checked, and most of the books there are for learning. I need to read as much as I can while I still can!"

Bernadette glanced out the window:

"You shouldn't be sentenced; you didn't do what they accused you of."

"Why don't you go outside for some exercise? It's breezy today, not too hot."

"I jogged around the neighborhood this morning." Lumian-na climbed down from the bay window, smiled, and flexed her arms, revealing her barely visible biceps. "I love exercising."

At this point, she suddenly became somewhat emotional:

"My mom has never been in good health, and I was too when I was little. It's probably hereditary. So, they always forbid me from doing strenuous exercise or chasing and playing with my classmates..."

"Later, when I grew up, I became rebellious and often went running, riding my bike, playing badminton, and so on, without them knowing. Nothing bad ever happened!"

"When you grow up, you can do what you want to do." The "Queen of Mysteries" seemed to share this sentiment.

Lumian-na's gaze gradually drifted off, her eyes reflecting the bright Sunlight streaming through the window:

"But now, I want to be controlled by them again..."

Bernard fell silent.

In the afternoon, Lumian returned to the Dream City.

The first thing he did was not to look at the "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette on the side Armchair, but to check his own condition.

The "Queen of Mysteries" calmly stated, "After being kicked out of the Dream twice, there will be several major restrictions when you re-enter:"

"First, one must not display Beyond Ability or obvious hostility in front of other Dream Image, especially those under the Celestial Worthy's Subordinate, as this will also result in being kicked out;

"Secondly, some hints that wouldn't have been noticed before will now attract the attention of the Celestial Worthy;"

Third, being kicked will affect the Outsider around you.

Lumian, already aware of these limitations from the information provided by the Major Arcana, chuckled and said, "Pretty troublesome."

The "Queen of Mysteries" nodded slightly.

"I've already transferred the 500,000 to your bank account. We'll act this afternoon; we can't wait until dark."

"Okay." Lumian stood up. "I'll go rent something first."

Star Dream General Store.

In her "Witch of Despair" form, Lumian approached the Checkout Counter and politely said to the Shop Owner, "I'd like to rent an item."

"Which one to rent?" The Shop Owner looked up and asked as the sky suddenly darkened.

Lumian thought for two seconds, then asked a question instead of answering:

Do you have any recommendations?

He wanted to see if the Shop Owner of the Star Dream General Store would offer any hints.

"It depends on your own needs," the beautiful Shop Owner replied with a smile.

Can't you give a hint? Lumian looked at the shelves, his gaze slowly sweeping over the Mysticism items such as the Magic Mirror Arrodes, Brass Book, and quill pens.

In less than a minute, he made up his mind:

"Let's rent that Mirror again."

If his sole purpose were to deal with and limit the Emperor Roselle in the mirror, he would choose the Brass Book based on the simple descriptions of the Major Arcana. However, tomorrow he also wants to try to weaken the Celestial Worthy and awaken Mr. The Fool.

The birth of that magic mirror is related to the Primordial Witch God and has its own Concealment. It is also the only Sealed Artifact that Mr. The Fool carries with him, and it is likely to play an important role in weakening the Celestial Worthy and awakening Mr. The Fool!

Its origins and the treatment it received are unparalleled by any other item!

The Shop Owner's smile remained the same as before:

"Okay, how many days?"

"One day," Lumian answered without hesitation.

He had enough Cash on hand to rent the Magic Mirror Arrodes for two days, but considering that his guesses, ideas, and action plans were not necessarily correct and the final result might not be as he expected, and that after today, the "Queen of Mysteries" would most likely be completely kicked out of the Dream, the team would hardly encounter such a generous "patron" again, so he deliberately set aside some money for Franca, Jenna, and Anthony.

In this way, even if tomorrow's operation fails and he is kicked out of the Dream for the third time, the remaining people will still have money to continue making new attempts.

The Shop Owner didn't say anything, took out a POS machine, and had Lumian swipe his card and sign the contract.

After leaving the Star Dream General Store with the Magic Mirror Arrodes, Lumian's phone suddenly rang.

It was an unfamiliar number.

After he used the "Information Shredder" to delete his contacts, all the numbers became unfamiliar to him.

Lumian answered the call and heard an angry voice on the other end:

Why didn't you come to work the night shift last night?

"Don't you know how to ask for leave in advance? This is called absenteeism!"

It turned out to be a call from the Intis Group... Lumian quickly switched to a Men voice:

"I quit!"

"Whatever!"

The person on the other end of the phone was speechless for a few seconds before saying, "You don't want your salary from last month?"

"Please donate this to those in need, thank you!" Lumian slammed down the phone.

He immediately got into Miss Huang's car, which was parked by the roadside.

As the "Queen of Mysteries" drove, she said, "I'll be responsible for dragging her along so we can both be kicked out of the Dream. You just need to hide in the shadows and prevent her from leaving the designated area beforehand."

In this operation, besides Jenna who is unable to leave Hall Film Company, Lumian, Franca, Anthony, and Ludwig will all be involved.

In this game, Lumian Acting the role of the "Queen of Mysteries" in dealing with Zarathustra, not appearing directly but interfering and influencing from the shadows. Franca decides whether to take direct action depending on the specific situation, while Anthony assists her.

--If we can bring some Despair to the Emperor Roselle in the mirror, it will greatly help Franca digest the "Despair" Potion.

"Should I ask the Magic Mirror some questions?" Lumian asked cautiously.

He believed that the core of the "Queen of Mysteries's " plan was to exploit the rule that "being kicked a third time would implicate Outsider in the surrounding area."

"No need, I know everything I need to know." The "Queen of Mysteries" then relayed the relevant information to Lumian.

She concluded by saying, "You can't hide behind the Mirror later; she has far more control over the Mirror World than you do."

"Understood." Lumian had confirmed this while monitoring Zarathustra.

In the time that followed, he showed no humility or politeness, discussing the specific details of the plan with the "Queen of Mysteries" and offering some suggestions for revision.

Inside the palace-like Villa.

After asking the Butler, Bernadette took the elevator to the Fourth Floor and headed towards her father's Study.

Huang Tao President Huang went to the company for a walk in the morning and returned at noon.

Upon reaching the outside of the Study, Bernadette habitually raised her right hand and knocked on the door.

She was spoiled at home when she was a child, and could open whichever door she wanted without ever asking if the people in the room had permission to come in. But after witnessing a few things she shouldn't have, she learned to knock on doors.

"Come in," Huang Tao's voice came from inside the Study.

Bernadette turned the Handle and entered the Sunlight -drenched Study, where she saw her father standing at the window, gazing at something.

This suddenly gave her a feeling of returning to those days.

At that time, she didn't understand why her father always looked out from the west-facing French windows, and sometimes he would hold her in his arms as a child.

"Dad..." Bernadette called out instinctively.

Huang Tao turned around and smiled.

You've come at the perfect time.

"Why do you say that?" Bernadette immediately became wary.

Huang Tao smiled and said, "I'm leaving here."

"..." Bernadette frowned. "What do you mean?"

Huang Tao sighed and laughed, "How could I let my princess be in a difficult position?"

Bernadette understood her father's meaning and was somewhat stunned.

Huang Tao sized up Bernadette for a couple of seconds, then smiled with a mixture of relief and emotion, saying, "I'm glad you hesitated for several days."
