Chapter 1014

Intis Group, Administration Department.

Zhou Mingrui, wearing a black t-shirt, walked in, scanned around casually, and said to Luo Shan:

"It's really hot this year. School has started, and there's no sign of cooling down at all."

Luo Shan nodded frequently, expressing agreement, and gave a good review of the company's air conditioning effect.

Zhou Mingrui looked behind him and said:

"Luo Fu didn't come today?"

He was still thinking about contacting Luo Fu today to ask her why she appeared in the underground area of Dawn Hospital last night. As a result, it had been almost an hour since work started, and the other party hadn't appeared.

Luo Shan looked left and right and lowered her voice:

"Luo Fu is going to resign."

"She hasn't been working for a month yet, right? She hasn't even passed the probation period, and she's going to resign?" Zhou Mingrui was a bit surprised, but felt it was normal.

A mysterious person like Luo Fu definitely didn't come to work for the salary, but had another purpose. Once the purpose was achieved, or if she felt she couldn't complete it and might fall into a crisis, she would definitely resign without hesitation.

"Yeah, there's something at home. Otherwise, who would be willing to resign from such a good job?" Luo Shan said her true thoughts. "Luo Fu has already submitted the report and will come to go through the process tomorrow."

Luo Fu's resignation made Luo Shan feel that she shouldn't be fired in the short term.

"Coming tomorrow?" Zhou Mingrui nodded thoughtfully.

He could foresee that Luo Fu's resignation wouldn't be too smooth. Someone who was just recruited hadn't worked for a full month and was leaving. Isn't this slapping the face of the recruiter?

And it would also affect the assessment results of the Human Resources Department.

Zhou Mingrui turned to Luo Shan and said:

"How is Luo Fu's situation now? Why did she go to Dawn Hospital last night?"

He had the tone of a concerned colleague.

"She's quite good now, just that her emotions haven't recovered." Luo Shan, who hadn't received "instructions," didn't dare to reveal too much.

She directly skipped the latter question.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingrui smiled politely:

"Slacking off is over; I'm going back to work."

"Bye-bye." Luo Shan waved her hand habitually.

Zhou Mingrui turned his body and walked toward the door of the Administration Department.

Luo Fu's resignation made him feel the hidden currents in the shadows more clearly.

This female colleague seemed to have come for him when she joined the company. She hadn't even fully familiarized herself with the affairs of the Administration Department, had eaten with him twice, made some hints, and appeared strangely in the underground area of Dawn Hospital when he was investigating Dawn Hospital.

"Did the event last night lead to Luo Fu's resignation?

"What exactly is hidden in the underground area of Dawn Hospital, and why did Luo Fu and Luo Shan go there?

"What exactly did Luo Fu encounter?

"Is workplace competition now using mystical means?"

While complaining, Zhou Mingrui wanted to find Luo Fu even more to ask her in person.

He felt that the things around him were becoming stranger and stranger!

"Luo Fu and Luo Shan too, clearly showing kindness and providing effective hints, why not tell me the truth directly?

"Everyone is a person with supernatural powers; what can't be said?

"What can't be discussed openly? Even if I don't believe it all, it's impossible to ignore it directly. I will definitely remember the key points and verify them one by one in the subsequent development.

"They don't say anything clearly; how can I help them?

"Are they acting in a TV series here, where a misunderstanding can be acted out for twenty episodes?

"Is there a reason they only hint and don't speak directly?

"Is there any power preventing them from telling the truth?

"Is there anyone else monitoring me?"

Zhou Mingrui subconsciously raised his head and looked around, not discovering any abnormalities.

"Does the monitoring power originate from the Beyonder level? Can even the private conversations between me and Luo Fu and Luo Shan be monitored?

"Luo Fu first showed something wrong, and Luo Shan hinted that I should wait two days before communicating with her. It was the day after I had dinner with her for the first time. At that dinner, Luo Fu hinted at the existence of supernatural powers and the hidden dangers of the 'Assassin' drink...

"Is it precisely because she hinted at these things to me that she had problems later?"

Zhou Mingrui returned to his workstation, sat down, looked at the screen, and thought seriously about how to determine if there was monitoring around him, and if so, how to avoid it later, and how to meet Luo Fu and Luo Shan secretly to communicate in a safe environment.

In the Administration Department, Luo Shan picked up her phone and sent a message to "Zhenxiujian":

"Zhou Mingrui came to ask about your situation. He is not without doubts about what happened last night; he is just waiting for an opportunity to ask."

…………

In the open-air parking lot below the Technology Building where the Intis Group headquarters is located.

Franca, who had tied her hair into a ponytail, read the WeChat message sent by Luo Shan.

She had originally planned to take Ludwig and wait around the Hall Film Company, and once the dream Jenna had a slip-up, she would immediately help to remedy it. But after thinking about it, she decided to come near the company.

The dream Jenna was "classically trained," and her acting level wasn't worse than the real Jenna. Moreover, she had inherited Jenna's memories of applying for the Hall Film Company and signing the contract, and her own dream was to be a good actor. So, as long as an accident like last night didn't happen, she wouldn't have any problems.

In addition, the Hall Film Company had a good boss who managed strictly, and the internal atmosphere was quite good. As long as she didn't go to audition for outside film crews, it was unlikely the dream Jenna would encounter unspoken rules.

Of course, even if there were, Franca didn't worry the dream Jenna would accept it. Compared to this, she was more worried the dream Jenna would overreact, defend herself excessively, and be caught by the police—she had probed the other party's personality and style this morning and felt that if the dream Jenna encountered dirty things, she would pick up all the sharp weapons she could find on the scene and let the other party know why flowers are so red.

Relatively speaking, Luo Shan's side was more dangerous.

The force that created last night's accident had clearly targeted Luo Shan. If one thing didn't succeed, there would be another. Franca didn't want Luo Shan to encounter an "accident" due to her own negligence and die on the spot, or become the Celestial Master's puppet!

After reading the message from Luo Shan and listening to the sound of Ludwig eating, Franca deliberated and typed out a paragraph:

"You can recommend Zhou Mingrui to watch the 'Terminator' series of movies."

Luo Shan, who received the reply, was stunned.

She finally understood why the story Luo Fu originally made up sounded familiar to her!

Most of them were movie plots!

In essence, it was really a bit like... Luo Shan pondered for a few seconds and clicked into the dialogue box with Zhou Mingrui:

"We have been watching old movies recently, the 'Terminator' series. This is much better than today's Hollywood blockbusters. You can also revisit it."

Zhou Mingrui, who received this inexplicable message, fell into deep thought.

He had long forgotten the details of the 'Terminator' series of movies, but he still remembered a bit of the story core.

After a moment, he said to himself silently:

"Could it be that they want to tell me I'm the savior?"

Downstairs, in the open-air parking lot.

Franca looked at her phone from time to time, observed the situation, and waited patiently for the lunch break.

What she was most annoyed about now wasn't Luo Shan's problem, nor where she would go to make others despair, but that waiting in the car with the air conditioning on wasn't a good thing.

Suddenly, someone opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Franca had a spiritual premonition and knew it was Lu Mian.

Lu Mian had changed back to a male body and made a disguise, not enough to let people recognize him as the security guard Li Ming at a glance.

"How did you know I was here?" Franca asked, both puzzled and curious.

Their "mirror doubles" placed on each other hadn't been replenished yet!

Lu Mian laughed, raised his right hand, and pointed to his head:

"This is a very simple deduction."

Franca rolled her eyes at him:

"I'm just too lazy to think."

Lu Mian didn't continue to hit her, and told her the results of their discussion with the Major Arcana cards and Mr. 'Fool's' past experiences, picking the key points.

"Truly legendary..." Franca sighed sincerely.

Lu Mian nodded:

"There is another detail. At that time, I let Jenna and Luo Shan go and ask Zhou Mingrui for help, to go to the underground area of Dawn Hospital. Jenna remembered halfway that it was late at night and worried that contacting Zhou Mingrui directly would lead to worse things, so she let Luo Shan go alone.

"Zhou Mingrui agreed to help. After running out of the emergency center, Jenna was immediately kicked out of the dream, but she actually didn't appear in Zhou Mingrui's eyes. Zhou Mingrui didn't even know such a person existed."

Franca understood what Lu Mian wanted to express:

"Can the Celestial Master's gaze lock onto the indirect reminder?

"Then when we let Luo Shan tell Zhou Mingrui the truth, we must be prepared for the corresponding personnel to be kicked out of the dream..."

"It was I who let Luo Shan and Jenna go; I was the mastermind, but I wasn't kicked out of the dream," Lu Mian added.

"Either there is a range or some other restriction on locking onto the indirect reminder, or it's because you had already arrived at the second basement level of Dawn Hospital... Can that place influence or interfere with the Celestial Master's gaze?" Franca raised two possibilities.

Lu Mian revealed a smile:

"If the underground area of Dawn Hospital can indeed interfere with the Celestial Master's gaze to a certain extent, then it might be utilized at a critical moment."

This is the collection of details. They might be useful, or they might have no effect at all, but without collecting them, there isn't even a chance to try and fail!

Franca "hmm"-ed and picked up her phone again:

"I have to tell the 'Mystic Queen' about the matter related to Emperor Roselle in the mirror and remind her to pay attention to President Huang's contradictory behavior."

After clicking on the WeChat friend "Bei Er Na Dai," Franca adjusted her emotions and sent a very lively expression:

"Pop quiz!

"Please answer what the Five Seas are!"

She wasn't sure if the person on the other side of WeChat was the "Mystic Queen" Bei Er Na Dai or the eldest Miss Huang, Huang Beibei, so she sent a question that only an outsider would know the answer to, to verify the other party's identity.

After a moment, "Bei Er Na Dai" answered:

"Sonia Sea, Fog Sea, do you need me to continue?"

"Congratulations, you got it right!" Only then did Franca briefly mention what happened last night and the role Emperor Roselle in the mirror might have played, as well as the reasons she and the others inferred.

I don't know how long it had been, but "Bei Er Na Dai" replied:

"I want to talk about this matter specifically. At two o'clock in the afternoon, meet at the book warehouse at 15 Jinhua Street."

PS: Asking for double monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~
