Franca showed "Mystic Queen's" reply to Lu Mian and asked for his opinion:

"Should I go?"

Lu Mian said without hesitation:

"I'll go."

"Alright." Franca understood Lu Mian's meaning.

She must now turn completely to background support. Unless she finds an opportunity to make others despair, she should try not to meet important figures.

Sometimes, she would rather let Ludwig go!

Franca deliberated slightly and pressed the screen quickly:

"I have important things in the afternoon. Can I let Lu Mianna replace me to meet you?"

After sending this message, Franca looked at Lu Mian and added:

"She knows the relevant matters in more detail than I do."

"Can," "Mystic Queen" replied quickly.

Only then did Franca say to Lu Mian:

"Use a female image to meet the 'Mystic Queen' and don't expose the identity of the security guard Li Ming. Although the 'Mystic Queen' is our ally, you can't let her know everything, especially the identity that still needs to be lurking."

When cooperating with the "Mystic Queen" to deal with Zarathustra last time, Lu Mian also turned into a "Despair Demoness."

Lu Mian raised an eyebrow and said "tsk tsk":

"I feel that after you fell into the situation of losing control and dying once kicked out of the dream, your IQ has improved."

Franca was used to mocking Lu Mian and being mocked by him, cut him off and said:

"What does this explain? It explains that I am smart in essence, just usually too lazy to think. Anyway, you aren't stupid either, so you can completely do it for me."

Ludwig, who had finished eating the hamburger in the back seat, raised his head and expressed deep agreement:

"Yeah, yeah."

This made Franca silent for a moment.

Being agreed with by this child Ludwig didn't seem quite right...

"I'll go buy you lunch, then go to the scene to scout, and wait to meet the 'Mystic Queen'." Lu Mian, who had once again stirred Franca's emotions and made her more lively, pushed open the car door and walked down.

…………

Two o'clock in the afternoon, 15 Jinhua Street.

Lu Mian, who had changed into a female shirt and loose trousers and put on sunglasses and a mask, avoided the guard by "teleporting" and went directly into the book warehouse—"Lu Mianna" was still a wanted object, so he couldn't find a reason to enter openly.

There was no one in the book warehouse. Lu Mian looked at the piles of packed goods and the high iron shelves, walking slowly forward.

Suddenly, a peach forest with lush vegetation and blooming flowers appeared before his eyes. In the forest, there was a winding stream that drilled into a towering mountain range and drilled into a small cave.

This isolated Lu Mian from the outside world.

Immediately after, the "Mystic Queen" Bei Er Na Dai walked out of the peach forest.

Her slightly curly chestnut long hair was simply tied up. She wore a loose, patterned white t-shirt, with a knot tied at the waist, youthful and full of student feeling, which wouldn't make people suspect Huang Beibei was too precocious.

"Good afternoon, Your Highness Bei Er Na Dai," Lu Mian took off his sunglasses and mask and greeted her.

For Emperor Roselle, he was still quite worshipful, and naturally quite respectful to the "Mystic Queen."

Bei Er Na Dai nodded gently:

"Good afternoon."

She didn't exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point:

"Tell me everything that happened last night, not just related to the 'Mirror Person'."

Lu Mian only hid some details like his own changes, starting from when Rosanne used the "Reporter" ability, suddenly heard the conversation between Franca and Jenna, and discovered that she was just a virtual image in someone else's dream, and talked until he returned to Dawn Hospital, saw through a short video from someone else that Peng Deng's roommate Grisha was also at the scene, and the problem of the colorful parrot in the oil painting.

The "Mystic Queen" listened very quietly, without interrupting or asking for details.

Until Lu Mian stopped, she asked:

"Is Luo Fu a transmigrator?"

The "Mystic Queen" also knows about transmigrators... Also, these transmigrators have done quite a few things over the years, and might have even helped her translate the Emperor's diary. Moreover, she can enter and exit Mr. 'Fool's' dream city... Lu Mian nodded:

"Yes."

"Since Luo Fu saw her past self in those 'cocoons' on the light gate, does she think that everyone inside the 'cocoons' are transmigrators?" The "Mystic Queen" asked further.

"Undoubtedly, that's what she thinks." Lu Mian had probably guessed what the "Mystic Queen" really wanted to ask, but still answered very cooperatively.

"Does she have any guesses about those three empty 'cocoons'?" The "Mystic Queen's" youthful face was calm.

Here it comes, the real question... Lu Mian thought to himself and answered truthfully:

"She suspects they are the Ancient Sun God, Emperor Roselle, and Mr. 'Fool'."

Bei Er Na Dai's expression changed slightly, but there was no expression of shock.

She said to Lu Mian:

"The Ancient Sun God might not have come out of the 'cocoons'; He has another origin."

"Uh..." Lu Mian was stunned.

If the Ancient Sun God wasn't, then who walked out of the "cocoon"?

Bei Er Na Dai didn't explain, just mentioned it.

She sighed and said:

"No wonder there are all the fairy tales and legends I've heard in Mr. 'Fool's' dream.

"No wonder those fairy tales and legends have the power of mystical reproduction..."

Lu Mian closed his mouth, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

After joining the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society," he actually knew how those inventions, works, and famous quotes of Emperor Roselle came about. After entering the dream city, he confirmed this even more.

However, he still worshiped Roselle, believing that the Emperor's life experience of starting from a mortal, putting on the crown step by step, and finally ascending to the divine throne was rare in the world, very inspiring, yearning, and the Emperor indeed changed the trend of the era, the world situation, and every aspect of the country of Intis. His legacy is still mentioned from time to time today, still benefiting many middle and lower-class people, and still changing the fate of some people.

Bei Er Na Dai turned her body and looked at the pink peach forest that was as brilliant and dreamlike as the fire clouds at night, saying to herself:

"Actually, he rarely told me that those fairy tales and legends were written by himself, thought of by himself...

"In most cases, he said, I sorted out the fairy tales I heard when I was young. I'll tell you again the stories that belonged exclusively to us that your grandma used to tell me. These are the stories in my dreams that once brought me many fantasies. I hope they can also make your childhood become beautiful and dreamlike...

"When he said these things, it was like he was recalling his own childhood through me..."

Lu Mian suddenly laughed, lowered his head slightly, and said:

"My sister also told me some fairy tales. Every time she told them, I had a similar feeling."

At this moment, he felt he had a lot of resonance with the "Mystic Queen."

One's father was a transmigrator, one's sister was a transmigrator, and they had both passed away, but still retained a certain hope of resurrection.

The "Mystic Queen" Bei Er Na Dai looked back at Lu Mian and nodded gently:

"Until I entered this dream city and lived for a period of time, I felt that I truly understood him."

"Me too," Lu Mian replied with a self-deprecating smile.

The "Mystic Queen" quickly got rid of the state of sentiment just now and said to Lu Mian:

"I want to ask you for a favor."

"What favor?" Lu Mian's spirit lifted.

The "Mystic Queen" was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Regardless of whether she is currently cooperating with the one believed in by the Aurora Order, or has jumped back to the Celestial Master's camp, or is swaying left and right, her ultimate goal is not what I want to see or am willing to accept.

"I hesitated for a period of time, and today I finally made up my mind to kick her out of the dream as soon as possible, so that she can't gain benefits with the help of this real dream. For this, I can accept the result of never being able to come to this city again."

"You want to launch an action against Emperor Roselle in the mirror in the near future?" Lu Mian suddenly realized.

He noticed that the "Mystic Queen" didn't use "He," which represents an angel, to refer to Emperor Roselle in the mirror, but "She," which symbolizes a female.

"Right," the "Mystic Queen" nodded imperceptibly. "Relying only on myself, even with a sealed artifact, it's very difficult to drive her out of the dream, so I need your help."

"No problem. In the matter of Zarathustra, you provided us with great help," Lu Mian agreed directly.

Emperor Roselle in the mirror's stance was swaying. Lu Mian didn't dare to bet that He would definitely stand on Mr. 'Fool's' side, so it was better to eliminate the hidden danger in advance.

The "Mystic Queen" added:

"I will prepay you a reward for this help..."

There's no need to be so polite. When dealing with Zarathustra, we didn't give a reward either... Lu Mian hadn't opened his mouth to respond when he heard the "Mystic Queen" state the specific amount:

"500,000."

How much? Lu Mian subconsciously doubted his hearing.

He immediately understood that the "Mystic Queen" was also using this matter to send money to them.

And this also broke through the suspected limit of 30,000 at a time.

Does this mean the "Mystic Queen" has already made up her mind regardless of the consequences, and is prepared to be kicked out of the dream for the third time? Lu Mian asked tentatively:

"When do you plan to act?"

"The sooner the better," Bei Er Na Dai said concisely.

Lu Mian deliberated and said:

"Between three o'clock tomorrow afternoon and three o'clock the day after tomorrow afternoon.

"And at two-thirty tomorrow afternoon, I will go to the Star Dream Grocery Store to rent an item, which might also come in handy after Zhou Shasha arrives in Yangdu."

Zhou Shasha will arrive in Yangdu by high-speed rail at noon the day after tomorrow.

What Lu Mian hoped for was to rent once and use twice, which included driving Emperor Roselle in the mirror out of the dream and dealing with the mutation brought by Zhou Shasha entering the dream city.

"Good," the "Mystic Queen" didn't talk nonsense.

She thought for a while and said:

"Since Huang Jiajia and the others have all become the Celestial Master's marionettes, and Lü Yong'an, the 'Great Mother's' believer, has also discovered your fake Son of God identity, you must guard against them suddenly taking action against Li Keji, cutting off the last hope of curing An Xiaotian."

Hearing this paragraph, Lu Mian's spirit suddenly tightened.

Yeah!

After the event last night, whether it was the Celestial Master trying to eliminate the hidden danger or the "Great Mother" trying to maintain a balanced situation, Li Keji was very likely to become a key target!

Lu Mian's original plan was to find Li Keji late at night when it was quiet, to see if that mushroom met the requirements.

And now it seems, he must go as soon as possible, go now!

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