"Recognition"

It was a human figure seemingly embedded in Owl's body, with perfectly round eyes, pupils that were Brownish Yellow -yellow and filled with undisguised evil.

Anyone who meets these eyes will inevitably experience confusion, tension, and fear.

The creature, half Owl and half human, flapped its wings and, carrying a foul stench, pounced on Jenna and Franca, who were Bed.

Its mouth opened, emitting Sound Wave that were almost tangible.

The Sound Wave touched the two "Witch," passed through Past, hit the bedsheets, and spread outwards.

The Bed was empty; the air conditioner screen, the glass panel of the bedside table, and the dark glass inlaid in the wardrobe sliding door all shimmered silently with a Gloom light.

Behind the half-human, half -Owl creature, Franca leaped up, wielding an almost invisible "Chilling Blade," and stabbed at her target with lightning speed.

The transparent, Triangular Dagger pierced the evil creature's body precisely, instantly freezing it as if it had been frozen in place.

At the bedroom door, Jenna appeared, holding Mirror that reflected the enemy's hesitant movements.

With her other hand, she ignited a quiet Black Flame and quickly stroked it across the surface of the Mirror.

The half-human, half -Owl creature was engulfed in Evil Black Flame from the inside out, but due to the influence of the "Chilling Blade," it could not even utter a wail or scream.

Soon, the evil creature Burning to ashes.

"A kind of spiritual creature..." Franca knew that the Witch's "Black Flame" were mainly aimed at spirits and life, and were difficult to ignite physical entities.

She landed lightly from mid-air, as weightless as a feather.

Jenna spoke quickly in a low voice, "This is Mo'erna, the Monster in Rosanne's Oil Painting, and also the invader that Rosanne is fighting against."

"Rosanne's aggressive probing?" Franca said without hesitation, "Go to Rosanne's room now and try to subdue her as soon as possible, otherwise we might be kicked out of the Dream."

Jenna had clearly anticipated this development as well. She nodded and said, "You go to Rosanne's room. I'll go to that space that's like the Spirit World. If necessary, I'll take Rosanne's place and guard the Barrier to prevent those intruders from entering."

She had two concerns: first, she suspected that Rosanne might not be in the room and could still be behind the semi-transparent Barrier; second, she worried that without Rosanne's Protection, the intruders would break through the defenses and cause a tragedy.

Without a word, Franca nodded slightly, slipped behind the curtains, opened the Master Bedroom window, and jumped down to the Fifteenth Floor.

She didn't use the "Ice Talisman" to Past through the Mirror World because she felt that Jenna's Rosanne investigation, but hadn't identified the investigator. She might set some traps for them later.

Franca's body was as light as a feather, yet she wasn't pushed off her original trajectory by the wind. She landed Precision on the windowsill of Rosanne's bedroom and pried open the window by using the Frost that seeped in and solidified into thin sheets.

Franca didn't rush inside. Using the light that was almost dawn, she quickly surveyed the room.

There was no one in the Bed, and paintings of different themes hung everywhere.

"Hidden?" Franca took a Mirror out of the "Traveler’s Bag".

She wanted to Divination the level of danger and use Mirror, both inside and outside, to create an Phantom of herself to see if she could lure Rosanne into making the first move.

Within that Spirit World- like space shrouded in the solidified Storm, as soon as Jenna's Astral Body appeared, she immediately looked towards the semi-transparent Barrier in the deep darkness nearby.

Rosanne wasn't there.

Strange creatures like Mo'erna are attacking the Barrier, causing it to gradually thin and the solidified Storm to disintegrate.

Jenna looked around, up and down, but still couldn't find Rosanne.

She sighed inwardly, floated to the area where the Monster were fiercely attacking, and conjured up dangerous Black Flame and crystalline Ice Cone around herself, sending them flying outward to defeat many of the invaders.

After Jenna held out for fifteen minutes, the Monster retreated into the Depths of darkness, and the attack was completely repelled.

After a while, Sunlight shone into the area, and the frozen Storm, the drifting Spirit Body, and the illusory buildings all faded and disappeared.

Jenna's Astral Body also returned to her body.

Daylight broke.

Franca has returned, and with a grave expression, she said to Jenna:

"Rosanne couldn't be found; she must have gone into hiding or left beforehand."

"Could it be hidden in one of the paintings?" Jenna quick to offer a possibility.

Franca shook her head:

"I checked all the paintings and didn't find any with extra figures. On the contrary, the Self-Portrait Sketch you mentioned is missing."

"Yes, there's a painting of a bridge that extends from the edge of a cliff in the foreground of the painting across a dark Abyss with no bottom in sight, and spans to another cliff in the distance of the painting, where there is a dark forest."

"I suspect that Rosanne entered the painting and escaped into the Black Forest via that bridge. I can't chase her, and I have a strong Danger Premonition; the painting probably wasn't painted by Rosanne herself."

Jenna was about to say something, she suddenly realized something:

"We haven't been kicked out of the Dream yet!"

"There were no restrictions either." Franca had been paying attention to this aspect.

She said thoughtfully, "Rosanne was Corruption by the Evil God of That One ' Fantasy Society,' not controlled by the Celestial Worthy. That One Evil God of the ' Fantasy Society ' may help the Celestial Worthy with some things, but he definitely has his own ideas and calculations, and he won't help the Celestial Worthy with everything."

"He wanted us to remain in the Dream, to hinder the Celestial Worthy Venerable if necessary, so he concealed this matter?"

"That's what Lumian meant when he said the Evil God and the Celestial Worthy Venerable sometimes agree and sometimes disagree." Jenna nodded in agreement, then added, "It's also possible that Rosanne hasn't been completely Corruption or fallen yet, and chose to handle our problems herself without informing That One Evil God."

"Struggle and resistance..." Franca sighed, then said, "Let's wait and see."

After waiting for more than an hour, the two "Witch" saw Rosanne, dressed in the standard uniform of the Intis Group's Administration Department, leave Building Five and go to work as usual. It seemed that what happened last night was just a dream.

Franca and Jenna, however, remained in the Dream and were not subject to any restrictions.

"She must have hidden in that painting with the bridge." Franca looked away and nodded slightly. "Yes, I'll send Lumian a message to let him know about last night's events and the recent risk of us being kicked out of the Dream."

"Won't that cause him to get kicked out too?" Jenna worried that contacting Lumian now might create problems.

Franca chuckled softly, "Isn't there that Mini Program Stiano gave us? ' Information Shredder '."

"I figured WeChat messages are also information, so they should be able to be destroyed without leaving a trace. Hmm, I'll destroy the sent messages here, and Lumian will destroy the received messages."

"Although I'm not sure if that ' Information Shredder ' will be able to evade the Celestial Worthy's unconscious pursuit, I think it's necessary to give it a try. If it really achieves the effect we want, we'll have more room to maneuver in certain matters later."

Jenna hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay."

Franca immediately began composing WeChat message, detailing Rosanne's probing, her and Jenna's responses, and the subsequent developments. Finally, she reminded Lumian to use the "Information Shredder" to delete the chat Recording.

At the entrance of the Technology Building.

Lumian, who had come to report for duty, stood in the hall and casually read the message sent by Franca.

Then, he turned towards the Public Restroom on the first floor, went into the Men's section, found a stall, and began using the "Fictional Bottle."

Immediately afterwards, he brought the phone to his mouth and whispered, "You can do some more probing now. Franca should also try to come to work early and get in touch with Zhou Mingrui."

"We can't place all our hopes on Rosanne's struggles or the selfishness of That One ' Fantasy Society ' member. Perhaps in half a day or a day, they will change their minds. You need to do more probing before then, gathering information for the second and third times you enter the Dream."

After sending the message, Lumian waited for more than ten seconds before bringing up the "Information Shredder" Mini Program, selected his chat Recording with Franca and Jenna, and clicked delete.

After finishing this task, he terminated the "Fictional Bottle" and took the elevator to the Intis Group's Security Department on the Thirteenth Floor.

After completing the formalities, he was led into the office of the head of the Security Department.

The office is huge, almost like a private gym, with a boxing practice area.

The head of That One Security Department was a foreigner, with black hair and blue eyes, of medium height, and although his muscles didn't appear to be well-developed, he had a very powerful presence.

His name is Green. According to the Major Arcana, he was one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who once followed Emperor Roselle and was the most trusted of them. He died very young and did not live to see Emperor Roselle achieve his great deeds. This is his Dream Image.

"You've practiced kung fu?" Green asked in a broken local accent.

"Yes." Lumian nodded sincerely.

"Then let's have a fight," Green said, pointing to the Boxing Ring on the other side of the office.

Lumian, who hadn't yet changed into his Security Guard uniform, didn't refuse and walked onto the field to wait for Green to come over.

Green took off his light formal attire, rolled up his sleeves, and walked up to Lumian.

Suddenly, he threw a punch, the Wind Sound whistling through the air.

Lumian appeared nonchalant, but as if he had anticipated it, he took a step back and dodged the punch.

He sprang to his feet and swiftly closed in on Green, unleashing a barrage of attacks with elbows, fists, knees, and toes.

Green held his Guard Stance in a very stable stance, preventing Lumian's fast but weak attacks from breaking through his defenses and landing on him.

Bang bang bang! After a frenzied attack lasting several seconds, Lumian suddenly retreated, panting heavily, and raised his hands in surrender:

I have no strength left.

Of course, he couldn't take down the Boss of his department on his first day at work. It wasn't a matter of workplace etiquette; he was worried that it would expose his Beyonder fighting skills.

"Not bad." Green nodded.

He went straight to his desk.

As he brushed past Lumian, he suddenly lowered his voice, as if not wanting the others waiting in the office to hear, and said, "Give my regards to my mother."

Mother... Lumian's pupils suddenly dilated.

Green then added in a low voice:

"I have recognized you, Your Holiness, Divine Child."
