Chapter 1028: Helper

After Lu Mian, Jenna, and Franca left the rented house in Xinhong Community one after another, Anthony waited for a while before saying to Ludwig:

"You keep eating, I'll return to reality for a while."

"Hmm hmm." Ludwig, whose mouth was full of food, had no time to speak at all.

Anthony leaned back against the back of the chair and closed his eyes.

As a "Dream Walker," he didn't need to do complicated operations and could easily return to the real world.

After opening his eyes in a room in the Trier luxury villa, Anthony instinctively rolled off the bed.

At the same time, Lady Justice's voice echoed in his mind:

"Come to 'Cup of St. Germain's' room."

Anthony immediately left his room, turned to the door of Franca's bedroom closer to the stairs, and knocked on the wooden door gently.

"Please come in." Lady Justice's gentle voice came from inside the room.

As soon as Anthony pushed open the door, several figures were reflected in his eyes:

There was the "Star" Mr. who stood in front of the bright window wearing red gloves, the gentleman sitting in a dark corner with scarlet eyes and a slightly raised chin, the mature man leaning against the small bar in the room, holding a glass of Lie-Lang-Qi, looking rugged, with bronze skin and blue hair;

There were Lady Magician and Lady Judgment on both sides of the long sofa, Lady Hermit sitting on a single sofa, wearing glasses and reading a book, Lady Justice sitting on a chair moved to Franca's bed, and Susie crawling near her, and a young man in a simple white robe, over two meters tall, pacing at the foot of the bed.

Anthony scanned the room and said respectfully:

"Ladies, gentlemen, good afternoon."

"What do you have to tell us?" Lady Justice turned her body.

Anthony repeated the items Lu Mian asked him to relay without any omissions.

Lady Justice nodded thoughtfully:

"I know."

At this time, the tall, brown-haired young man looked at the other Major Arcana cards and said steadily:

"From now on, no one can leave this room."

As the voice echoed, brilliant sunlight, brighter than the sky outside the window, appeared in the bedroom, dispelling all shadows and darkness without leaving a single dead corner.

…………

Technology Building, inside the Administration Department of the Intis Group.

"Haha, kids are just easy to think of one thing and another. Are you going to Yangdu for college?" Luo Shan took her phone and replied to Zhou Mingrui.

This was both a continuation of the chat just now and a "monitoring" of Zhou Mingrui's current state.

Luo Shan felt that chatting with Zhou Mingrui one by one could grasp his movements relatively timely.

While waiting for Zhou Mingrui's reply, Luo Shan couldn't sit or stand, and walking around couldn't smooth out the waves in her heart.

She sat down again, took paper and pen, wanting to use drawing to relieve her complex emotions that were hard to sort out.

*Swish swish swish*, Luo Shan smeared aimlessly on the paper.

As time passed slowly, the sketch gradually took shape:

It was a girl, guarding behind a black barrier, fighting against monsters that looked like a child's graffiti.

Luo Shan drew herself in the middle of the night, herself as a guardian.

Seeing that this was only a semi-finished painting, Luo Shan was stunned.

After a few seconds, she pressed her lips tightly.

She stood up with a *swish* and rushed to the office of Deputy Director Zhang Qing, saying urgently:

"Director Zhang, I'm asking for half a day off!"

…………

Yangdu High-speed Railway Station, arrival level.

Lu Mian and Jenna stood in front of the large display screen, checking the corresponding exit for Zhou Shasha's current train.

"South 3, arriving in six minutes." Jenna found the correct train number based on the information provided by Luo Shan.

"I told you there was redundant time." Lu Mian, in a male state, laughed and walked toward the South 3 exit with Jenna.

They didn't get too close, staying twenty or thirty meters away, hiding at the entrance of the taxi lane, gazing toward the target area.

The two "Witches" quickly found Zhou Mingrui.

Because the air conditioning in the Intis Group was very strong and he came out in a hurry, Zhou Mingrui was wearing a white t-shirt inside and a plaid shirt in orange and black outside, looking like he had been waiting for a while.

Jenna and Lu Mian didn't speak, observing patiently.

After two or three minutes, Jenna suddenly pointed in a direction and lowered her voice:

"Luo Shan...

"Why is she here?"

Lu Mian looked in the direction Jenna pointed and found Luo Shan, wearing a shirt and skirt, walking toward the South 3 exit, looking left and right while moving forward.

"Call her, call her over, don't affect Zhou Mingrui for now." Lu Mian said to Jenna.

Jenna had this intention long ago, and with the nimble steps of an "Assassin," she approached Luo Shan quickly and secretly, flashing in front of her.

Luo Shan was startled, then opened her mouth in surprise.

Jenna raised her index finger and placed it on her lips, signaling Luo Shan not to ask first.

Luo Shan hurriedly closed her mouth and followed Jenna to the entrance of the taxi lane next to the South 2 exit.

After seeing clearly who was waiting for Jenna, she couldn't control herself anymore, pointing at Lu Mian and saying:

"You, you, you..."

Isn't this Li Ming, the dropout youth, the security guard who had a child when he was a minor?

He is in the same group as Luo Fu, Jenna, and Lu Mianna?

"What a coincidence." Lu Mian revealed a smile.

He pointed to Jenna smoothly:

"This is the child's mother."

"Oh oh..." Luo Shan was suddenly a bit excited.

So that's how it is!

So it's this kind of relationship!

Suddenly learning the privacy and scandal of her friends around her made Luo Shan's inner tension and uneasiness dissipate quite a bit.

Jenna then asked:

"Why did you come to the station?"

Luo Shan's expression settled.

She bit her lip and said:

"I want to come and help you guys.

"I think, I think I should be able to help."

As she spoke, her tone gradually became firm.

Lu Mian was silent for a few seconds and said:

"Okay."

He looked toward the South 3 exit and added casually:

"Nothing else for now, just observe."

"Hmm hmm." Luo Shan was participating in a similar action for the first time and had no objections.

Looking at Zhou Mingrui again, Jenna thought and said:

"If Zhou Shasha really has a problem, and is really used to let Zhou Mingrui produce a stable 'person in the mirror' in the special mirror world, what will she do?"

Having experienced the hostel and the Moran Avigny matter, Jenna had a very deep understanding of the special mirror world, knowing that to produce a stable, long-term "person in the mirror" there, one must either be a descendant of the "Primordial Witch" or certain nobles of the Fourth Epoch Trier, or have come into contact with the contamination overflowing from the special mirror world, that is, often active in the underground Trier.

And in the dream city, there is no substantial special mirror world—it is hidden in the depths of the mirror world, without overflowing contamination.

Therefore, wanting to let Zhou Mingrui truly come into contact with the special mirror world is not an easy thing.

Lu Mian thought for a few seconds:

"Don't know."

His tone was calm and steady, making Luo Shan suddenly feel that the situation might not be as bad as she imagined.

After waiting for a few more minutes, passengers began to pass through the gate at the South 3 exit.

Jenna and Luo Shan's spirits tightened instantly.

Not long after, they saw Zhou Mingrui smiling and welcoming the exit.

A girl came out, wearing a black dress, looking more mature than her age.

Her suitcase was also dark-colored, not hanging a furry doll like many young women, but hanging a mechanical-style Transformer.

The bag she carried wasn't cute either, it was black, artificial leather, and the capacity seemed not small, with a silver-white pocket watch with vine and branch patterns hanging on one side.

"The style is indeed quite similar to Melissa Moretti in reality..." Jenna muttered in a low voice.

Luo Shan couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.

Zhou Shasha saw Zhou Mingrui coming over, revealed a pure smile, and waved her hand.

"Brother!" she shouted crisply.

Only then did she have a bit of youthful brilliance.

"Arrived just in time, I'll take you to eat a big meal!" Zhou Mingrui smiled and took over his sister's suitcase.

"Brother, I fixed this pocket watch!" Zhou Shasha took the silver-white pocket watch with vine and branch patterns from the side of her black backpack and showed it to Zhou Mingrui like a show-off.

*Snap*, she pressed lightly on the top of the pocket watch, popping open the silver-white cover.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Mian and Jenna not far away had their eyes freeze.

With eagle-like eyesight, they discovered that the glass cover of the pocket watch was dark, leaning toward pure black, but had enough transparency to see the hands and numbers on the dial.

This glass cover gave Lu Mian and Jenna a strong sense of familiarity, a sense of familiarity from spiritual intuition and their own memories:

Special mirror world fragment!

The special mirror world fragments they each had!

"Zhou Shasha wants to use that pocket watch to use the special mirror world fragment to let Zhou Mingrui produce a stable 'person in the mirror'?" Jenna blurted out, but instinctively suppressed her voice.

She then remembered one thing:

The special mirror world fragment on Lu Mian was obtained from the resurrected female corpse Panatia, and Panatia was originally arranged to be Zhou Mingrui's lover, until his wife.

"Besides stabilizing Zhou Mingrui's mental state, its preset role is also to try to 'contaminate' Zhou Mingrui after Zarathustra's direct attempt fails, letting the stable 'person in the mirror' be born? No wonder she has a special mirror world fragment... The Celestial Worthy always makes two hands, no, three hands, or even more preparations..." Jenna suddenly realized.

She immediately said to Lu Mian:

"Must find a way to steal that pocket watch, can't let Zhou Mingrui have too much contact."

Lu Mian also thought of the resurrected female corpse Panatia, observed for a few seconds, and said:

"That pocket watch seems to have very important commemorative significance for Zhou Mingrui. He is holding it very tightly now. Trying to take the pocket watch under his nose is probably not an easy thing."

At this time, Zhou Mingrui had already taken the silver-white pocket watch and examined it repeatedly, very happy.

Jenna understood Lu Mian's worry very well:

This is not just not easy, it can even be said to be very difficult, with huge risks!

What Zhou Mingrui wants to protect is what the dream subconscious wants to protect!
