Hall Film Company, Artists Department.

Jenna didn't wear any extravagant makeup today, nor did she deliberately try to make herself look ugly. She simply maintained the local "color scheme" of black hair, brown eyes, and relatively soft features. Simple and refreshing, she fully showcased her natural beauty and Women Charm, attracting the attention of many passing employees and her fellow interviewees.

"Next, Jenna," an employee at the conference room door called out Jenna's name.

Jenna stood up, recalled the education she received at the Old Dovecage Theater, and walked in gracefully.

The four interviewers, two men and two women, who were drawing and writing, looked up when they heard the greeting. Their eyes lit up, but their emotions differed slightly.

"Jenna, a graduate of the National Drama Academy?" one of the Women interviewers read out Jenna's academic credentials.

This is the identity that "Lady. Justice" fabricated for Jenna. As far as Jenna knows, the corresponding figure of "Lady. Justice" in the Dream is Holly, the actual controller of Hall Film Company and the producer of "The Great Pirate 3".

In other words, she is the Boss of all the interviewers present.

Hall Film Company is just a non-core business under the Hall Group. The Hall Group's foundation is its various banks, and its financial strength is second only to the Intis Group in Dream City.

"Yes." Jenna didn't hide her beautiful voice.

After the interviewers each asked a few questions, the Primordial One That One drew a card and handed it to Jenna:

Perform a short piece according to the instructions above.

Seeing that Jenna had a beautiful appearance and a clean temperament, the interviewer specially chose a performance with the theme of "Allure" to test her.

After Jenna received the card, before she could even look at the question, the interviewer added, "You can't put on Makeup or change clothes on the spot. You need to present the content of the question through your own performance."

Jenna wasn't nervous at all; on the contrary, she seemed slightly excited.

When Apprentice at the Old Dovecage Theater, she dreamed countless times of having a similar opportunity to perform.

She glanced down at the question and couldn't help but laugh.

She has life experience when it comes to being "Allure".

When Jenna raised her head, her eyes were already full of passion and boldness, as if they held a thousand words and ten thousand unspoken thoughts.

The "Exaggerated Woman" is back!

Both male and female examiners felt a sudden tremor in their hearts when their gaze swept over them.

Midway through Jenna's performance, some of the examiners started drinking water.

I haven't even used "Fascination" yet... Jenna is proud of her performance.

She didn't even do anything too vulgar.

"Phew..." One of the interviewers couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after Jenna finished her performance.

She asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Yes," Jenna answered readily, but didn't mention that she had a child.

It wasn't mentioned on her resume. Anyway, Ludwig's household registration was with Lumian, and she and Lumian weren't married. Hall Film Company definitely wouldn't have found out unless they hired Private Detective to investigate thoroughly.

Several interviewers couldn't help but exchange glances:

What a promising talent! She could easily become the kind of person who shines brightest in the Future, so how come she already has a boyfriend?

Girl, wake up! What are you talking about at such a young age?!

Forget it, once I get into this industry and experience what it's like to be extravagant and decadent, my ex-boyfriends will break up with me soon. I just need to keep it a secret until then.

That One Women interviewer, who had Primordial One looked away from her colleague, said to Jenna, "Go back and wait for our reply. We'll get back to you soon. And please try not to leave the city for the Future three days."

"Okay." Jenna bowed and left the meeting room.

Because this was in the Artists Department, where she might run into big-name celebrities at any time, there were dedicated staff members to escort her out to prevent her from wandering around and taking pictures indiscriminately.

The young woman who led Jenna away from the Artists Department noticed that the interviewee was not only beautiful, but also possessed a unique kind of beauty, suggesting she had the potential to become a big star. Wanting to build a relationship, she introduced Jenny to different people, explaining which office belonged to which person and which area was reserved for which individual...

Jenna was also very interested in this, because Lumian had told her to "keep an eye on the Actor who plays Gehrman Sparrow and see if there's anything special about him."

The two chatted amiably as they slowly walked out of the Artists Department.

At this moment, several people entered from outside. The leader was wearing sunglasses and was about 1.8 meters tall.

Having already joined the Artists Department, he took off his sunglasses, revealing a face that Jenna found somewhat familiar.

He bears a resemblance to Zhou Mingrui to some extent, but with a smaller head, more delicate features, and more defined facial contours. If Jenna hadn't specifically looked for traces of Zhou Mingrui on his face, it would have been difficult to tell them apart.

This is Jia Yu, the Acting Gehrman Sparrow, a mixed-race individual.

Jenna looked away, somewhat disappointed.

If Jia Yu himself bore a striking resemblance to the character he Acting, Gehrman Sparrow, or was very similar to Zhou Mingrui, and could transform into Gehrman Sparrow through Makeup, then Jenna would think he might be somewhat special, a symbol of some key issue in the Dream. But now, Jenna thinks that's unlikely.

"No wonder Franca said there was no need to observe or contact the Acting Gehrman Sparrow, and ' Lady. Justice ' didn't mention Jia Yu in the information either..."

"However, Franca's reasoning is really strange. She said that Jia Yu is fake jade, which means that the person is fake and there is no need to investigate further. But 'Jia' and 'fake' have completely different meanings. Sure enough, with Franca as a guide, some things can be clear at a glance and some symbols can be easily interpreted..." Jenna sighed to herself and brushed past Jia Yu and the others.

Those people instinctively turned to look at Jenna's back, as if they had just been amazed by her beauty.

After leaving the Artists Department, Jenna asked curiously, "Was That One Jia Yu just now?"

The Women employee who led her out nodded:

"Yes, Great Pirate 3 made him an instant star."

"Does he have an English name? He looks like a foreigner to me," Jenna asked casually.

If Jia Yu's English name is Klein Moretti, then it's still worthwhile to continue observing and getting to know him better.

The Women employee thought for a moment and said, "No, he just has foreign ancestry."

As Jenna looked disappointed, the Women employee lowered her voice and said, "Actually, we didn't initially cast him as Gehrman Sparrow. We booked another Actor, who was much more famous than him at the time, a true international star."

"Didn't you agree on a price?" Jenna asked.

The Women employee shook her head:

He was in a car accident and became a vegetable.

"Huh?" Jenna was startled at first, then a few words she had recently seen while watching videos flashed through her mind:

Swords flashing, bloodshed raging, fierce battle...

"It's such a pity," the Women employee sighed.

Jenna's Eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "What's that celebrity's name? I've never heard of them replacing Actor after a car accident..."

The Women employee had a look of reminiscence on her face:

"I don't remember his name either. I remember that incident very clearly, but I can't recall his name right now... I'm stuck..."

"Then I'll go back and look into it myself." Jenna felt increasingly that something was wrong.

She smiled, waved, and left Hall Film Company.

Inside Rented Apartment in Xinhong Community.

Lumian received a message from Jenna and learned about the Acting Gehrman Sparrow.

He informed Anthony, and the two began searching for relevant news on different platforms.

It's true that a car accident left a celebrity in a vegetative state, but both the news itself and the comments below were vague about the name and the specific time, as if they were avoiding the topic.

"Even the all-powerful internet can't find out who it is..." Lumian stood up and paced around the living room/ Restaurant.

He suddenly thought of someone, picked up his phone, and found "a name that left a deep impression on you":

Have you heard this news? Do you know who it is?

Below the text converted from voice input is the news content that Lumian copied and pasted.

After a while, Anderson Hood replied to him:

"See? If I turn myself in, who will provide you with information?"

"You haven't forgotten what happened last time? Aren't you being a little petty?" Lumian muttered to herself, then smiled and brought the phone to her mouth.

"Then I'll help you escape from prison."

After a twenty or thirty second, Anderson replied, "But I don't want to escape. You don't need to help me fight against this city."

"The celebrity who was in the car accident is named An Xiaotian, and he's still in a special ward at Crimson Moon Hospital."

"An Xiaotian?" Lumian looked at Anthony.

According to Franca, since everyone has the surname Ann, they might have been from the same family five hundred years ago.

Anthony thought for a few seconds, and just as an idea struck him, Lumian muttered to himself, "Antigonus?"

This is one of the five Duke of the Tudor Empire, and the one who once contained the Uniqueness the "The Fool".

Thinking of the five Duke of the Tudor Empire, three of whom he had already encountered in his Dream, Lumian, who possessed the Residual Aura of the "Blood Emperor," felt a strange sense of pressure.

"The fact that the ' The Fool ' is an incarnation of the former ' The Fool ' is quite in line with the logic of Dream..." Lumian nodded slowly.

"But a car accident is abnormal. What does that symbolize?" Anthony pondered as he spoke.

"Does this symbolize that the Mental Brand left by Antigonus within the Uniqueness the ' The Fool ' is now in a vegetative state?" Lumian attempted to interpret.

He then added, "What's even more suspicious is that Lady. ' Justice ' wasn't mentioned in the documents."

"Regardless of whether An Xiaotian is the Dream Image corresponding to Antigonus, he was the intended Acting Gehrman Sparrow and got into a car accident, becoming a vegetable. It is only right and reasonable for ' Lady. Justice ' to mention this in the information."

"If it's Antigonus, then he should instruct us to delve deeper into the issue. If not, why not just give a brief explanation so we don't waste time on this?"

Anthony pondered for a moment and then said, "Perhaps he forgot."

For those who play the Major Arcana "forgetting" itself suggests that there are problems related to An Xiaotian.

Standing there, Lumian looked at Anthony and said thoughtfully, "Go to the Star Dream General Store later to retrieve the letter, write down An Xiaotian's situation, and send it out."

"I'll find some time later to visit An Xiaotian at Crimson Moon Hospital."
