It's that Zarathustra again... Is he going to the Dream Tutoring Class to wait for Zhou Mingrui, or does he have another purpose? Lumian led Ludwig out of the seating area, waiting for the staff to open the door to the ride, and said to Anderson with a smile, "Have you spoken to him?"

Anderson, hands in his pockets, chuckled and said, "He said he wants to profoundly influence one person and eliminate another."

Is Zhou Mingrui who wants to deeply influence things? And who are they trying to eliminate? Why is Zarathustra talking to Anderson about this? Was one of his purposes in going to the Dream Tutoring Class to find Anderson, the Mute Anderson who represents the "Fantasy Society"? Does this symbolize the cooperation between the Celestial Worthy and That One Evil God of the "Fantasy Society"? Lumian walked towards the open door and casually said, "Someone like Danitz?"

What he wanted to ask was Zarathustra wanted to eliminate Dream figures like the Divine Emissary Danitz, or Outsider like himself.

Anderson gave a thumbs-up and went down the steps from the entrance:

"I just couldn't understand why we had to deal with Danitz first. What role could he possibly play? Maybe he was just lucky; we had to take out the Lucky One first."

With everyone suppressed at Sequence 7, luck is indeed very important... Judging from Anderson's words, the death of the Divine Emissary was orchestrated by Zarathustra and the Mute Anderson together? The Mute Anderson's involvement means that he himself was involved, and had the opportunity to secretly sabotage and affect the progress of events. That's why we discovered the Divine Emissary's Corpse ahead of time, instead of sending it to the Morgue of the Mushu Hospital as planned, and "Resurrection"? Lumian nodded thoughtfully.

He believed that Anderson had interfered with Zarathustra's actions by using the Mute Dream Image, causing Zarathustra to only achieve his goal of eliminating Danitz and fail to make use of the Divine Emissary's Corpse.

--Lumian is currently unsure Zarathustra is more Zaratul or "Loki," so he uses the Dream name directly as a substitute.

Damn it, it was you, Anderson, who did it. No wonder you called the police immediately... This also explains why we witnessed the death of the Divine Emissary. It's no coincidence... Lumian muttered to himself, walked past Anthony, and didn't retrieve his phone. Anderson did the same.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were few people playing in the Small Square, he glanced at the advertisement displayed on the mall's large screen and asked in a casual, strolling manner, "What are you planning to do by opening the Colorful Painting Hotel?"

"The moment you walk in, someone slips you some money and a Hotel that's still under renovation. Would you refuse? Faced with Sugar Coating- Cannonball, isn't it a perfectly normal choice to eat the Sugar Coating and throw the Cannonball back?" Anderson asked with a smile.

"But often, the Sugar Coating can be poisonous, or there's no time to throw the Cannonball back. You can't expect someone to force a child into your belly, can you?" Lumian, the temporary Divine Child of the "Great Mother," remarked with feeling.

Anderson paused for a second, then smiled and said, "If it's really in there, you have to accept it whether you want it or not. If you can't get rid of it later, you'll just have to work on building a good father-son or father-daughter relationship."

Lumian changed the problem:

"What are the people behind those bribes and Hotel bookings planning to do?"

Anderson glanced at him sideways, smiled, and said, "That's why I came to find you."

Lumian raced, and he vaguely understood the meaning behind Anderson's words:

One of the Evil God gods of That One "Fantasy Society" was to hinder the Celestial Worthy Venerable and maintain the balance of the Dream. Anderson grasped this key point, which is why he took the initiative to contact them and put it so bluntly.

Anderson looked ahead again and walked towards the food court behind the mall.

I saw a really funny quote online before.

"The saying goes, 'I'm afraid my brother will suffer, but I'm also afraid my brother will drive a Land Rover.'"

"Interesting." Lumian felt that Anderson didn't need to hint so obviously; he understood perfectly well.

Anderson continued, "Hotel always have guests from different places."

At this point, he suddenly pointed to a spray-painted banner on a shop Signboard and said, "Paintings are complex; they are both information and a gateway to a fantasy world. If a complete and realistic order can be established in the Painted World, wouldn't it also become a near-real world?"

What is this implying? Is it hinting at the possible purpose of That One Evil God in the "Fantasy Society"? Lumian lacks crucial information and can only roughly understand what Anderson is saying, unable to grasp the true meaning of these words.

Based on his current knowledge, he felt that That One Evil God of the "Fantasy Society" also wanted to occupy more Pathway, just like the "Great Mother" and the "Mother Tree of Desire." He had his eye on the pathways of "The Mystery Pryer" and "The Generalist," which symbolized information; the Pathway of "The Apprentice," which represented the concept of "Door," the alternate world, and space itself; and the two Pathway of "Lawyer" and "Arbiter," which could bring real Pathway to the Painted World.

As Lumian pondered, Anderson pointed to a shop and laughed:

"I told you the world has loopholes, look there."

Lumian looked Past and saw that it was a small shop called "Loen's Delicacies," which mainly sold sweet iced tea and Dipsy pies.

"How could Loen have gourmet food? That's a complete plot hole," Anderson said with a mocking expression.

Lumian nodded:

"Yes."

The two Intis people easily reached a consensus on this matter.

And Ludwig started shouting:

I want to eat!

Inside an Apartment in the Opera District, Black Hat Street.

"The Witch" Niseya sat in front of the Vanity Mirror, carefully and meticulously drawing her eyebrows and applying makeup by the light of the Gas Wall Lamp.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind her, on the seat near the window.

That was Franca in a relaxed posture.

Franca looked at Niseya silently without making a sound.

After discussing with Ms. "Magician" and Ms. "Judgment" why she was kicked out of the dream and the issue of the vice president of Mushu Hospital, she rested for a day. Before returning to the dream, she made a special trip to see her subordinate and ask her about any recent progress.

You can't be the kind of boss who assigns tasks and then disappears completely, ignoring everything and acting like you've vanished!

After about ten seconds, Niseya noticed and subtly adjusted the direction of the Vanity Mirror.

Upon seeing that it was her immediate supervisor, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said, "Good evening, Lady."

"Good evening, how have you been lately?" Franca didn't ask directly about the Emperor Party.

--She hasn't contacted "007" yet, because "007" is currently undergoing special training and seems to have a chance to obtain a spot to become Half-God.

Niseya's expression shifted several times, showing a mixture of struggle and Pain, followed by a sense of resignation as she said, "I've become Grue's mistress."

Grue was one of the confidants of Louis Gustav, the leader of the Emperor Party.

This is progressing a bit fast; it seems like you've only been a "Witch" for a short time... Franca didn't ask Niseya how she felt, and calmly asked, "Did Grue say anything?"

Seeing that her boss hadn't asked about her experiences and feelings about being a mistress, Niseya's inner turmoil, embarrassment, and shame subsided considerably.

She recalled, "He said Louis had been troubled lately, acting very irritable, apparently because he couldn't get in touch with some important person."

"Which important person?" Franca pressed.

"Grue doesn't know either, he's only certain there's one important person, someone Louis has a lot of confidence in." Niseya shook her head.

Franca suddenly had this thought: Couldn't she contact Emperor Roselle in the mirror?

She nodded slightly and said, "Find out who that important person is, and also grasp the true intentions of the Emperor Party."

After she finished speaking, her figure quickly faded and disappeared from the seat.

Niseya watched the Lady leave quietly, then raised her right hand and slowly stroked her face down to her lips.

Franca returned directly to the Luxury Villa without reporting to the "Black Witch" that she had completely digested the "Pain" Potion.

Putting aside the question of whether the Witch Sect would reward her with the "Despair" Potion if she didn't achieve any new merits, even if they did, she wouldn't actually go through with the Ritual, so it's better to postpone it for now.

After dinner, around midnight, Franca stood up and went to her room.

The rather short "Judgement" Lady escorted her to her room while giving her some advice. "The second time you return to the Dream, acting under the same identity as before, the experience so far shouldn't be too different from the first time. But by the third time, we've discovered that some attempts that wouldn't normally get us kicked out of the Dream have resulted in us being kicked out, as if we've been simply marked by That One Celestial Worthy."

"So, you need to pay attention to any subtle Change compared to last time to determine whether you became the focus of attention from the second or third time you entered the Dream. Also, don't make any overly aggressive attempts in the next few days; you were just kicked out, so you need to wait."

"Yes, I'll be careful." Franca remembered that the information mentioned this.

Upon reaching the door after going upstairs, the "Judgement" Lady continued, "There are many things we cannot give you, things you can take into your dreams, because we have used them in our dreams, and they have been marked."

"If you want to make money, there's another way: send one of you to apply for a job at Hall Film Company, a subsidiary of the Hall Group. Although Miss ' Justice ' can no longer enter dreams, as the ' Dreamweaver ' and Major Arcana, she can still exert some influence on Dream."

"Understood," Franca replied with a smile, "Thank you."

She immediately went into the room, lay back down on the bed, and held the Lucky Gold Coin in her palm.

She tried it yesterday. If she didn't keep the Lucky Gold Coin with her, she would just sleep and dream normally, occasionally flashing glimpses of the Dream City, like what "Luo Fu" saw and heard.

Franca closed her eyes and regulated her breathing.
