An unexpected visitor

When Lumian arrived at the Administration Department, several professionals were already collecting physical evidence for analysis, including but not limited to leftover milk tea, liquids from the water dispenser, discarded takeout food, vomit, and swabs used to wipe computers, desks, and air conditioner vents...

After they finished, other clothing professionals began the entire disinfection process.

During this time, Rosanne and other Administration Department staff who were still working could only wait in the corridor.

Looking around, Lumian noticed that besides President Ai and Rosanne, only two other people were unaffected by the Mysticism Pathogens; their complexions and movements were perfectly normal.

One of them was Men, who was quite tall by Yangdu's standards, over 1.8 meters, and the other was Women in her thirties, with a round face and a slightly plump figure. She couldn't be called beautiful, but she wasn't ugly either.

None of them came here for President Huang... or rather, not for President Huang's health... What are these Beyonder doing working so diligently in the Administration Department of the Intis Group? Lumian tried to guess what others were thinking based on his own feelings.

Of course, he couldn't be sure that none of the people going to Crimson Moon Hospital were Beyonder. Maybe she was a "Witch" waiting to taste President Huang's flavor. However, she sensed the presence and invasion of the Mysticism Pathogens, so she pretended to have serious symptoms and followed him to the hospital to avoid being discovered to have a problem.

Rosanne also saw the Security Guard who was supposedly very handsome, and felt that he had not disappointed her.

After a while, President Ai received a phone call.

"The problems aren't serious, and the situation has stabilized?" President Ai asked happily.

Then, he heard Zhang Qing on the other end of the phone say:

"The test results showed a mild Virus infection. The Doctor told them they could go home after finishing the IV drip, take medication for two more days, rest, and they would be fine."

"More than a dozen people have already asked me for leave, planning to stay home for a couple of days to recover. They've also asked if this counts as a work-related injury and if there's any compensation."

President Ai's jaw dropped, but he suppressed his emotions and said, "You should rest at home. You can't force yourself to go to work and cause a serious problem. As for whether it counts as a work injury, you can ask the Legal Department when you get back."

"Okay," Zhang Qing said, "But a dozen or so people have said they want to come back to work, but..."

"But what?" President Ai asked.

Zhang Qing gave a cryptic reply:

"They're all the ones who love to dress up, except for Luo Fu."

Even a sickly beauty is still a beauty; perhaps President Huang will feel pity for her when he sees her.

President Ai a moment, and the book was displayed.

Are only new employees motivated to come to work and work diligently?

Meanwhile, Lumian, using the excuse that something had happened in the Administration Department, had been observing from the sidelines, occasionally offering assistance.

This was also to prevent Rosanne from being eliminated Subordinate the Celestial Worthy's men in the chaos—as a "Painter," she had the ability to protect herself, but she was clearly inexperienced and easily let her guard down in crowded places. And now, because Franca went to the hospital, she couldn't rely on the "Mirror Substitute" to escape the first attack.

After Franca returned from Crimson Moon Hospital and helped Rosanne and the others deal with the Accumulation of matters, Lumian and Old Xia finally returned to the Security Department on the Thirteenth Floor.

He continued to think about how to treat An Xiaotian.

He believes that An Xiaotian's vegetative state is symbolic, representing the decline and erosion of the Antigonus Mental Brand within the Uniqueness of the "The Fool," something that cannot be reversed by normal means; the only solution lies in addressing the root cause.

"How can we strengthen Antigonus's Mental Brand within the Uniqueness of ' The Fool '? But Antigonus cannot enter Mr. The Fool's Dream right now. Even if He is willing to provide the corresponding items, we would have to Corruption Zhou Mingrui, the symbol of the Uniqueness of ' The Fool,' to achieve our goal. This would damage our image in Zhou Mingrui's mind, making all our previous efforts futile, and it is extremely dangerous."

"Franca and Jenna's approach is correct. It's possible to awaken An Xiaotian through the power of the ' Great Mother,' but not through treatment or by having An Xiaotian. Rather, it's about ' Rebirth,' symbolically allowing Antigonus's Mental Brand within the ' The Fool's ' Uniqueness to be Rebirth. As for whether the Rebirth An Xiaotian will be an enemy or a friend, that's hard to say, but he will inevitably interfere with Mr. ' The Fool's' awakening..."

"The ' Villain ' Pathway Sequence 7, allows ' Warlock ' to perform Rebirth Ritual. Theoretically, those ' Gifted ' like Green, the ' Great Mother,' could awaken An Xiaotian. However, that involves symbolic reversal, and it's estimated that only Rebirth Ritual performed by Divinity would be effective. In the Dream City, Green and the others believe that only I, this False Divine Child, possess this ability, and no one else does. Hmm, there's one place that should have it too: the basement of the Mushu Hospital. Sending An Xiaotian there would be purely creating enemies for myself..."

Lumian pondered for a long time and felt that both approaches had significant problems, with the potential risks and negative impacts far outweighing the benefits, making them choices that he and his group would not make.

He began to investigate the matter by looking for vulnerabilities.

Soon, he thought of someone:

Li Keji!

"Mr. The Fool's subconscious understanding of Li Keji Mushrooms should come from the interactions between Gehrman Sparrow and Frank Lee."

"Currently, it seems that he feels Li Keji's Mushrooms are quite dangerous, with various possibilities, and could produce some unbelievable effects."

"The essence of this city is Dream, Dream are idealistic. As long as Mr. The Fool really believes that Li Keji's Mushrooms can do incredible things, then Li Keji can create a Mushrooms to cure An Xiaotian and wake him up!"

"It wasn't the Mushrooms that healed An Xiaotian, but rather that Mr. ' The Fool's' subconscious was guided to reverse the symbolism."

"Of course, that kind of awakening will inevitably be Distortion, Evil, and terrifying, but if An Xiaotian can use this opportunity to say everything he wants to remind me of, it's acceptable..." The more Lumian thought about it, the more she felt that using Li Keji's idea might be useful.

He planned to find an opportunity to talk to Li Keji through the door of the ward.

The Biology Teacher was actually modeled after a "Doctor"!

While observing other incarnations of Mr. The Fool, Jenna received a call from Hall Film Company, asking her to go to the Artists Department the next day to sign an Agent Contract.

"Phew... I have a job now." Jenna breathed a sigh of relief.

She was even somewhat looking forward to making movies and TV Series, but felt that waking up Mr. The Fool wouldn't take that long, and wouldn't be delayed until she joined the production team.

At the same time, she felt that Hall Film Company was managed quite well, and she thought that one of the interviewers would call in advance to hint that she needed to do something to have a chance at a good contract.

She was prepared to use her Fascination to make the people lose themselves, but nothing happened.

This is quite different from some of the things she saw and heard at the Old Dovecage Theater.

"No wonder it's a film company run by ' Lady. Justice '..." Jenna felt relieved.

After dark.

Knowing the target's itinerary, Lumian traveled through the Mirror World before Zarathustra Past to the Hotel and retrieved the surveillance footage stored in the Pinhole Camera and Listening Device.

After midnight, he returned to his Rented Apartment in Xinhong Community and used his phone to play a video of Zarathustra's activities in the Hotel room.

This wasn't about spying on what Zarathustra was Conspiracy or how he planned to achieve it—if he were, that would be even better. Lumian's main purpose was to observe, to observe Zarathustra's actions when no one was around, in order to find out how many Marionette he could currently maintain, how often he could summon Historical Void Images, and how long it would take for Historical Void Images to dissipate on their own.

This was in preparation for a surprise attack and the encirclement and killing of Zarathustra shortly afterward.

Although Zarathustra was also suppressed to the Sequence 7 level, he still possessed the Angel-Level, and the effects and range of many of his abilities differed somewhat from those of a true Sequence 7.

Just like the number of Marionette, a normal "Marionettist" can only manipulate one Marionette when they first advance to Sequence 5. If they are restricted to the Sequence 7 level, theoretically they will not be able to control the Marionette and can only kill people by using Marionette-ization. However, this ability may undergo a qualitative change at Sequence 4 and Sequence 2, thereby reducing the consumption of spiritual energy and lowering the difficulty of manipulation. After that, even if the ability is suppressed to Sequence 7, the essence still exists, but the effect will not be as significant.

In other words, Zarathustra can still manipulate Marionette, but in very limited numbers—perhaps two, perhaps only one. Lumian now needs to confirm these details.

Without the relevant intelligence, a direct surprise attack and encirclement of Zarathustra, given their superior numbers, would offer some hope of defeating or forcing him to retreat, but achieving their intended objective would be virtually impossible, as the "Seer" are known for their strong survival Pathway!

Lumian stared intently at the phone screen, not missing a single detail.

He's skipping around for now, focusing on scenes with people in them.

The surveillance footage showed that at 11 p. m. last night, Lumian saw Zarathustra, dressed in a black Nightgown, walk to the door and open it.

A person came in from outside.

The man always wore sunglasses at night, dressed in a black T-shirt and dark Jeans that wouldn't attract attention, and was about 1.8 meters tall.

Who could it be? Lumian's focus grew even stronger.

After entering the room, the man glanced left and right, then removed the sunglasses from his nose, revealing a face that Lumian found quite familiar.

He had seen videos of this person being interviewed and participating in certain activities online.

That's Jia Yu, the Acting Gehrman Sparrow!

He doesn't look much like Zhou Mingrui, so there shouldn't be any problem. Why would he visit Zarathustra in the Late Night? What have we overlooked? Lumian's pupils dilated as he looked more intently.

He was grateful for the help technology had provided him, but also worried that Zarathustra had discovered the Pinhole Camera and Listening Device and was deliberately staging this charade.

Jia Yu sat down on the sofa and chatted with Zarathustra for nearly fifteen minutes before getting up and leaving.

Lumian immediately stopped the playback of the surveillance video and decided to listen to see if the Listening Device had recorded any conversations during the corresponding time period.
