Investigating the Case

The following morning.

After cleaning herself in the Master Bedroom bathroom, Franca went to the living room and immediately saw a pile of plastic bags covering the wooden dining table. The semi-transparent white plastic bags contained various foods such as fried dough sticks, sesame balls, steamed dumplings, xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), and regular steamed buns. Next to them were cups of soy milk and bottles of Milk.

The fragrance in the air felt both familiar and enticing to Franca, and she blurted out in surprise, "Who bought it?"

Don't they need me as their guide, to show them the way, or to help them communicate?

Is this really a "foreigner" who has only been here for less than 24 hours?

Lumian smiled and pointed to himself:

"Of course it's me."

Franca sized the guy up and down a few times:

"You bought so much breakfast at once, doesn't the Boss find it strange?"

"It's not like I bought it from just one place." Lumian glanced at Ludwig, who had taken a big bite out of the sesame ball, revealing a little bit of red bean paste filling inside, and said with a smile, "Later, one of the Boss saw me carrying so much food and did ask me something."

"What did you say?" Franca asked warily.

Lumian laughed and said, "I said I'm involved in Pyramid Scheme."

"..." Franca opened her mouth slightly, speechless.

"That's the same reaction the Boss had, and then he asked if I was joking." Lumian maintained her smile. "I said yes, I was actually preparing breakfast for the Company Team-Building."

"Where did you learn these terms?" Franca asked, looking somewhat bewildered.

Lumian smiled:

"Aurora mentioned it before, and I asked her about it, but I still didn't understand what it meant. I finally figured it out online last night."

"You have a pretty strong learning ability..." Franca said with a slight twitch of her lips.

Wow, you've already learned to surf the internet so quickly!

Thankfully, this guy hasn't learned how to order breakfast directly using Food Delivery App yet, otherwise what use would I be as his guide?

Lumian said in an Aurora- esque smug tone, "I've already registered QQ Account and a backup WeChat Account. Once I've completed the observation phase, I'll try adding Mr. ' The Fool '."

"..." Franca thought about how this guy was essentially a genuine beauty now, and could switch into that form at any time, and couldn't help but mutter, "Mr. ' The Fool ' will mistake you for a tea seller and won't add you at all."

"What?" Lumian was a little confused.

Finally, there's something you don't know! Franca pulled out a chair, sat down, then tore open the seal on the soy milk, broke off half a fried dough stick, and threw it in to soak.

After finishing this task, she gave Lumian and Anthony was silently eating breakfast, a "lesson" on some basic internet knowledge— Jenna had worked the second half of the night and was still catching up on sleep.

Finally, Franca pondered for a moment and said to Lumian, "Although you've integrated and adapted very well, I still think you shouldn't have made that kind of joke when buying breakfast. That kind of joke is memorable, and you're quite handsome now, so the breakfast shop Boss must have remembered you. This isn't very beneficial to our current plan of Concealment our identities and observing secretly."

"If it weren't for this concern, the fear of becoming too famous and attracting the attention of the Celestial Worthy, we could all start livestreaming and make money, and even take Ludwig out for a buffet!"

Lumian thought about it carefully:

"Indeed, I'll keep an eye on it, and then I'll have Anthony buy it."

At this point, Lumian sincerely praised Franca:

"You're more meticulous than I am when it comes to things like this."

Franca picked up a piece of fried dough stick soaked in sweet soy milk with her chopsticks, put it in her mouth, chewed and swallowed it. Then, with her eyes half-closed, she exclaimed with a mixture of delight and Library, "This is the feeling..."

She paused, then said smugly, "Of course, I've seriously Acting the role of an ' Assassin,' I'm definitely not the kind of Assassin who thinks 'killing everyone who sees me equals a successful stealth'!"

After chatting for a while, Jenna got up and began to eat the breakfast that Lumian had put in the "Traveler's Bag" beforehand, which Ludwig had not discovered.

Just then, there was a knocking sound on the door.

Lumian and Franca Past open the door one after the other and saw two people in Police uniforms standing outside. The one in the lead had a high hairline and gray eyes, while the one behind him had black hair and green eyes. He was very handsome, but had an air of idleness and slacking off.

Franca's pupils suddenly dilated.

She recognized That One young police officer with the bright green Eyes.

That's the Major Arcana's "Stars" Mr.!

Franca was about to greet them happily when she suddenly realized what was happening:

Mr. "Stars" has been locked onto by That One Celestial Worthy. Every time he enters the Dream, he is kicked out after a short time. The person in front of him should just be Dream Image of Mr. "Stars" woven by Mr. "The Fool's " subconscious.

"Good morning, my surname is Deng, and I'm the Police in charge of this area." The gray-eyed officer asked with a smile, "You just moved here yesterday, right?"

"Yes." Lumian didn't hide anything.

The Police here already know about us, even though we only arrived yesterday?

The Police in Trier aren't that efficient...

The Officer Deng asked kindly, "Do you have a temporary residence permit...?"

"Team Leader, it's called Residence Permit now," the young police officer behind him That One black hair and green eyes, resembling Dream Image of the "Stars" from the Major Arcana, reminded him helplessly.

He seems to have reminded him many times already.

"Haha, I forgot, I forgot." Officer Deng chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"I haven't had time to apply yet," Franca answered quickly, afraid that Lumian wouldn't know what Residence Permit was.

"Then when you have time, go to the Police Station across from Xindu Garden to get your documents processed. If you Couple get married and have children and want them to attend Public Kindergarten, you'll need to see this too," Officer Deng advised in a friendly manner.

"They're getting so close to getting married and having kids..." Franca found it both funny and exasperating.

"Team Leader..." Mr. "Stars" behind Officer Deng reminded him once again.

Officer Deng smiled:

"I almost forgot, I came to see you today because I have something to ask you."

"Call all your friends over."

When Jenna, leading Ludwig, and Anthony arrived at the entrance area, Officer Deng took out a photograph:

Have any of you seen this person?

The man in the photo had his hair and eyebrows dyed a burnt yellow, and his facial features were not particularly defined; he was clearly the Divine Emissary Danitz.

"Yes, I've seen him," Lumian replied, feigning thought. "He handed us flyers last night, what was his name again?"

He turned his gaze to Jenna.

Jenna, holding Ludwig's hand, said, "His surname is Da, I don't remember his full name, but he wanted to recommend Tutoring Class suitable for my child. I plan to go and check them out when I have time."

Seeing that Lumian and Jenna spoke like an old married couple with children, Officer Deng's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, between Lumian and Franca.

Young people these days...

"Did something happen to him?" Lumian asked curiously.

The Officer Deng stated simply, "He didn't return home last night. His roommate reported him missing, and we are investigating everyone he came into contact with last night."

Franca and Jenna resisted the urge to look at Lumian, Lumian then spoke words that couldn't be more truthful:

He handed us flyers, chatted with us for a few minutes, and then left.

The Officer Deng and Mr. "Stars" asked some more questions and took Recording.

After they left and the others sat back down at the table, Franca looked at Lumian and asked with concern, "Is the Divine Emissary's Corpse still in that Mirror?"

Lumian took out the corresponding Mirror and checked it:

"Still there."

There is still Mirror World here, and Lumian can still come and go freely. However, the range within which he can directly locate different Mirror has been reduced to 500 meters. And for Mirror whose Past he has mastered, the distance between them cannot exceed 10 kilometers, otherwise there is a risk of getting lost in the Void Tunnel.

Jenna nodded:

"Then yesterday's first guess can be ruled out."

"Key things that Mr. ' The Fool's' Dream identity didn't know or hadn't heard of will become real and will evolve further."

The remaining two guesses are that the dummy figures in the Dream have a portion of Mr. The Fool's subconscious incorporated into them, and that the death of the Divine Emissary was done by the Celestial Worthy's Subordinate.

These two are not entirely contradictory; both can be true simultaneously.

Lumian hummed in agreement.

"If it was done by the Celestial Worthy's Subordinate, the disappearance of the Corpse would also raise their suspicions. Besides the Police, they should also be among those investigating the whereabouts of the Divine Emissary. We need to keep an eye on them."

After discussing this matter for a while, Lumian glanced at the wall clock, which had long since stopped ticking, and then looked at the sky outside:

It seems to be getting late.

Franca took out her phone, turned on the screen, glanced at it, and said, "It's time to head out. Mr. ' The Fool ' should be heading to the office soon too."

Lumian thought for a moment and said to Franca, "I'm worried that taking a taxi will lead to running into Amon again. Last night I found out online that there's also the option of Car Rental. Although it will cost more, it's safer and more discreet."

Can you drive?

"I have a driver's license," Franca said, blinking. "The identification document provided by Lady. ' Justice ' also shows a driver's license."

"I'm asking if you can drive," Lumian emphasized, amused.

Franca was furious:

"I got my driver's license in college, but before I even graduated, uh, I've arrived in Intis. Where can I find a car to drive?"

If you ask me if I can drive, I can only answer that I have a driver's license.

She felt that Anthony, who was experiencing Dream world, should have already guessed that she came from a different world.

Before Lumian could ask any more questions, she confidently stated, "With the Beyonder eyesight, hearing, reaction speed, and physical coordination of an extraordinary being, coupled with my Driving Knowledge, I don't think driving will be a problem. Didn't you quickly learn how to use chopsticks yesterday?"

"Then let's Car Rental," Lumian decided.

Although Franca was heartbroken about the money, she suppressed her feelings because she knew she could borrow a lot more.

Before the repayment date, they might complete their mission and leave the Dream!

In a temporary parking space opposite a building.

Sitting in the Gray Car, Lumian and the others intently observed the white-collar workers entering the building, some hurrying and some leisurely, through the tinted car windows.
