At 4:30 p. m., Lumian packed up his personal belongings, changed out of his Security Guard uniform, and prepared to leave work.

This job is actually an eight-hour shift, but it requires shift work, and I'll definitely be working night shifts later on.

It must be said that President Huang Tao is not harsh on his employees at all. He is very generous with his pay. Even though some departments often need to work overtime and cannot be lenient, President Huang still pays overtime wages, and the standard is not low. If you work too late, there are also subsidies for late-night snacks and taxi fares.

Therefore, despite President Huang's notorious womanizing and the fact that some of the company's rules are unfriendly and disrespectful to some Women employees, there are still many people who would do anything to join the Intis Group.

Lumian had been guarding the main gate all day and had not been assigned to patrol the floors or check the surveillance cameras. He only ran into Zhou Mingrui once in the morning and hadn't seen him since.

He has no regrets or impatience about this; the pace is just right.

He walked towards the Bus Stop under the scorching sun, taking out his phone along the way to send a voice message to Franca:

"I think I left a pretty deep impression on Zhou Mingrui today. Although I didn't notice any obvious Change in his expression, if I were in his shoes, I would definitely suspect that it wasn't a coincidence. I would suspect that I had just met him at the Dream Tutoring Class and then immediately joined the Intis Group because I was following him and had some ulterior motive."

"Given Zhou Mingrui's caution and prudence, he would most likely think that way."

"Since he has left such a deep impression on me, I will not Xinhong Community tonight. I will find a cheap hotel to stay in and see if anything goes wrong when night falls, and whether it will cause me to be kicked out of the Dream."

"Ludwig was taken care of by Anthony."

Soon, "True Sleeve Sword" replied:

"Would this lead to Zhou Mingrui's resignation? This is a contingency plan that a cautious person would definitely have."

"I haven't even started the job yet! I've already bought several outfits and spent a lot of money!"

Seeing that Franca was worried about wasting money, Lumian chuckled and said, "Not for now. I deliberately didn't tamper with my background information or try to fabricate my identity before the interview, just to make my private life outrageous enough not to seem like I'm here to infiltrate and investigate."

Sometimes, a little bit of high profile can reduce other people's suspicion of you.

"Besides, even if Zhou Mingrui really resigns, you can still start working normally. There's no rule that says employees of the Intis Group can't track down Zhou Mingrui's whereabouts after work. Moreover, the Intis Group has a lot of problems, like Rosanne and Green. If we can figure them out, it might give us some inspiration and help us find an effective way to wake up Mr. The Fool."

He informed Franca and the others about Green's problem at noon.

Finally, Lumian added:

"Remember to use the ' Information Shredder ' and the 'book' to delete the chat Recording."

He walked to the bus stop sign and completed the operation to eliminate the potential hazard.

The bus arrived shortly afterward. Since it wasn't yet rush hour, there weren't many passengers on board.

Seeing this, Lumian relaxed a little.

Previously, while riding the Metro, a man tried to touch him in the crowded conditions, and he almost broke his wrist.

He wasn't afraid of these kinds of things, but he found them annoying and felt they would waste his time and energy.

If this is how they are when they're dressed Men, what will happen when they switch to Witch "form"?

Dechuang Garden.

Franca played Lumian's voice so that Jenna could hear it.

While deleting chat Recording using the "Information Shredder," Jenna either folded up the new clothes spread on the bed piece by piece or hung them directly into the closet.

They went to the clothing wholesale market again in the morning, but chose the ones with better quality and higher prices, spending nearly two thousand yuan.

After being washed, dried, and ironed, these clothes are now ready to wear.

"I've already applied and I'll start work tomorrow," Franca remarked as she helped fold the clothes.

In her previous life, she hadn't graduated from university and had no chance to experience work. After Transmigration, she lived off the savings of the Original Owner of the Body for a while, and then by chance became an "Assassin," thus bidding farewell to a proper job.

Jenna laughed and said, "As long as you remember that you're there to investigate the problem and interact with Mr. ' The Fool's' Dream Image, not that you actually want this job, you won't care what others think of your work performance."

"Well, Zhou Mingrui might resign at any time," Franca laughed. "Hopefully, I'll at least get a month's salary!"

After tidying up their clothes, the two "Witch" each leaned against a cushion, sat on the bed, and started playing on their phones.

After scrolling through the pages for a while, Franca clicked her tongue and said, "President Huang has quite a few scandals..."

Huang Tao himself rarely posts on social media, but he has a large number of ex-girlfriends, numbering over a hundred, of all kinds. Among them are well-known Actor, singers, and internet celebrities, as well as those who want to become famous by sharing their romantic experiences with CEOs of large companies. There are even those who staged their own publicity stunts, which actually had nothing to do with Huang Tao.

Therefore, no matter what Franca and the others posted, they would see stories about President Huang and his women every now and then, which reinforced their stereotypes derived from Roselle's diary and related legends.

However, Franca still wants to say that President Huang gave money, was very generous, and would not set a trap or use legal means to get back what he gave away, and incidentally send the woman to jail.

It was precisely because several of President Huang's mistresses were verifiable to have come from the Administration Department of the Intis Group that Franca discovered during her interview that few of the applicants were actually there for the position itself.

Of course, she didn't apply for the job itself; she applied because of the Dream Image of Mr. The Fool from his dream.

Before Jenna could respond, Franca sighed again:

"I can't even imagine what the Administration Department of the Intis Group is like. To be able to manage such Administration Department and make the company thrive, President Huang is truly remarkable..."

Jenna also shared other rumors she had come across about President Huang. At 11 p. m., the two "Witch" put down their phones, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

They arrived once again in the strange space shrouded in the frozen Storm, and saw Rosanne, now dressed in casual clothes, floating on the edge of the translucent Barrier. She had just driven the invading strange creatures back into the Depths of Darkness and was looking at them sideways.

Franca and Jenna had such a scenario in their plans, so they didn't act immediately, but instead looked back at Rosanne.

Their eyes met, and Rosanne spoke in a low voice, "Are you also people with extraordinary powers?"

"You're here to investigate me?"

Her expression was full of wariness.

"Yes and no," Franca replied ambiguously.

Jenna then used a touch of Fascination, smiling warmly as she said, "You didn't leave, and you're even willing to meet with us."

Rosanne paused for a few seconds before saying, "Last night, I hid and discovered that you had taken my place, guarding the Barrier and fighting those Monster."

"I think, I think you're a good person. Maybe we can talk."

Before Jenna could respond, Rosanne pressed, "What do you mean by 'yes' and 'no'?"

Franca organized her thoughts and said seriously, "We want to contact you, figure out your problems, and eliminate potential threats, but not to deal with you. You are not our real target."

Rosanne was a little confused.

Franca further stated, "We come from the Future and have used a time Machine to return to the present era in order to find That One Savior."

"Savior?" Rosanne was stunned.

What is all this nonsense...?

Franca nodded solemnly:

"In the not-too-distant Future, humanity is attacked by evil forces and is on the verge of extinction. At this time, a Savior suddenly appears, saves us, and makes the situation less Vile."

"An evil force, through some unknown means, created a time Machine and sent some Monster that could disguise themselves as humans to this city, attempting to kill the Savior when he was still weak."

Fortunately, the Future Savior realized this and found a way to make use of that time Machine as well.

"He used up the last of the time Machine's energy to send us here, so that we could find those Monster, destroy them, and help him, in his weaker days, get rid of the interference and obstacles and truly awaken."

"We approached you because we wanted to get closer to our Savior when we were weak."

After hearing Franca's account, Jenna was momentarily stunned.

Although they had briefly discussed the story's premise beforehand, she never expected it to turn out this way.

This sounds similar to the reality, but there are fundamental differences.

Rosanne's expression shifted several times. She felt that Franca's story was too outrageous, like it was fake, yet it sounded strangely familiar.

In a flash, she suddenly remembered something and blurted out, "Is That One Future Savior Zhou Mingrui?"

Franca was not frightened; she made up this story to test how much Rosanne in the Dream knew and what information she possessed.

To her surprise, Rosanne seemed to accept the absurd plot she had fabricated, but accurately guessed that the target was Zhou Mingrui.

Knowing they needed to deal with the "The Fool's" Dream Image, but unsure why, Jenna nodded thoughtfully. Franca countered, "Why do you think so?"

Rosanne's expression suddenly Distortion:

"That voice, that voice told me to give Zhou Mingrui the drink from the real ' Instigator '."

That was the first time it made a clear request, and it even Promise to reward me with a ' Painter ' drink afterwards.

"I thought it was pretty good to have superhuman powers back then, and I thought it would be great if Zhou Mingrui could get them too..."

At this point, Rosanne's voice suddenly choked with emotion:

"I... I didn't mean to hurt him, I really didn't mean to hurt him..."

Franca tensed up:

"Zhou Mingrui drank the ' Instigator ' Potion, uh, a beverage?"

The information provided by the Major Arcana makes no mention of Rosanne giving the "Instigator" a drink.

"I don't know," Rosanne shook her head, "But something seemed to have happened at the company next door that day. I'm not sure if it's related to this, I'm not sure..."

Seeing that Rosanne's mental state was becoming unstable, Jenna changed the subject:

How many times have you drunk that beverage?
