Chapter 1034

Ms. "Justice" did not give up and wove a new Gehrman Sparrow identity again.

At this time, black shadows emerged within the thin gray mist permeating outside the dream city. They quickly swam toward the passage opened by Ms. "Magician," bringing about violent tremors and self-contraction of the "door."

Ms. "Magician" tried her best to resist, not letting the dream gate close, and not letting Ms. "Justice's" attempt to weave the Gehrman Sparrow dream image be interrupted.

Mr. "Hanged Man," who had long put down his strong liquor, cast his gaze here, his hand already holding a Blasphemy Card at some unknown time.

"Tyrant" card!

Boom!

Lei Sheng suddenly sounded, and layers of silver-white lightning struck the black shadows within the thin gray mist, making them twist and struggle as they dissipated, unable to approach the passage opened by Ms. "Magician" again.

Ms. "Justice" remained unaffected and continued to weave the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow.

Inside the altar, after the Gehrman Sparrow image created by "Mystic Reappearance" temporarily stabilized due to countless anchors, Mr. "Star," who had been standing by the window, walked toward this side step by step.

As he walked, he chanted:

"Like a petrel, soaring unyielding forever,

"Knowing the storm, conquering the ocean,

"Forcing them to be calm,

"Brewing stability into strong wine..." (Note 1)

As the poem echoed, the sunlight in the room suddenly dimmed, as if dark clouds had drifted in.

Gehrman Sparrow on the altar closed his eyes and entered a deep sleep.

Now, he was also dreaming.

It is a nightmare, and also hope.

Seeing this scene, Mr. "Moon," who was quietly enduring the burning of the sunlight, let the black cloak behind him rise, like a huge bat spreading its wings.

He flew to the gate of starlight opened by Ms. "Magician," flew into that illusory passage, and arrived outside the hole entering the dream city.

He did not try to enter again, but turned around, reached out his hands forward, and created an illusory, hazy door engraved with many mysterious symbols out of thin air.

This is the "Gate of Summoning," the "Gate of Summoning" of the Sequence 3 "Summoning Master" of the "Moon" pathway.

Mr. "Moon" wanted to summon Gehrman Sparrow, that Gehrman Sparrow on the current altar!

The next second, he opened his mouth and chanted the corresponding honorific name and specific summoning incantation in Ancient Hermes:

"Attendant of the Spirit World and the Sefirah Castle;

"Mysteries originating from ancient times;

"Witness of long history;

"Angel who redeems the world;

"Protector of all poor children;

"Great Gehrman Sparrow..."

In this kind of summoning pointing to falsehood, all honorific names must be chanted.

When the subsequent incantations also echoed, that illusory, hazy door opened wide, revealing the boundless darkness dotted with stars and dancing with double images.

But to Mr. "Moon's" slight disappointment, the Gehrman Sparrow image on the altar only turned its body to the side, without any other movement.

Real power seemed to be preventing this false matter.

Inside the Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station, which was half deep darkness.

Lu Mian looked at Zhou Mingrui and said to himself:

"These all came based on Mr. Fool's arrangements and are all guidance of fate.

"Since Mr. Fool sealed you, the Celestial Worthy, with this Zhou Mingrui self-image, then before he truly gains a greater advantage, awakening 'Fool' is equivalent to awakening the Celestial Worthy. Therefore, what we need is not awakening, but creating a 'World' Gehrman Sparrow out of thin air in the dream.

"Only in this way is he not a product of the fusion of Mr. Fool's and the Celestial Worthy's consciousness, but pure and uncontaminated.

"His source is the believer anchors of Gehrman Sparrow, the cognition of Gehrman Sparrow by a large number of humans in the real world and the dream city, and the understanding of Mr. Fool by the Major Arcana cards of the 'Tarot Club,' not involving you, the Celestial Worthy.

"This is equivalent to Mr. Fool dragging you to sleep together, and then with the help of others, creating an identity highly related to him that can exist stably, acting on his behalf to hold authority. And the gradual strengthening of this identity will help him use the corresponding authority to gain an advantage, eventually truly sealing you and waking up on his own.

"This is the correct interpretation of the prophecy 'World wakes, Fool returns.'

"What you have been guarding against is also this aspect, which is why you replaced the dream image related to Gehrman Sparrow and let your subordinates mix into the 'Fool' Church, trying to make the finally formed Gehrman Sparrow point to you instead of Mr. Fool.

"In that way, it would become 'World wakes, Celestial Worthy returns.'"

Zhou Mingrui laughed calmly twice:

"What if your judgment and choice are both wrong?"

Lu Mian shrugged his shoulders and said:

"If it's wrong, then it's wrong.

"I never think that I can succeed in everything I do. On the contrary, I have always regarded myself as a loser.

"Failure is not terrible. The failures of the Major Arcana cards paved the way for us, and our failures will also eliminate wrong answers for the lucky coin holders who follow, pointing out the correct direction. And this attempt will definitely delay the time for you, the Celestial Worthy, to achieve victory.

"In the time to come, batch after batch of lucky coin holders will arrive, standing on our shoulders, continuing to climb, looking further, until the apocalypse truly arrives."

Having said this, Lu Mian smiled at Zhou Mingrui:

"This is very similar to a sentence I learned in the dream city:

"Success does not have to be in me, but success will definitely have me!"

Zhou Mingrui was silent.

Trier, inside a luxury villa, in Franca's bedroom.

Ms. "Justice" suffered another failure and wove the Gehrman Sparrow dream image for the third time. While Mr. "Hanged Man" continued to use lightning to prevent the black shadows within the gray mist from approaching the "door," Mr. "Moon" repeated the summoning incantation.

The Gehrman Sparrow on the altar, with his eyes closed, shook his body, wanting to respond to the summoning in his dream, but could not overcome the real power.

Just at this moment, around the emerald eyes of Mr. "Star," transparent insects that seemed to have twelve segments crawled out.

They quickly formed a complex mystical symbol.

A symbol representing fraud!

Almost at the same time, Ms. "Judgment" approached the altar and said in Ancient Hermes:

"The reality here is receding, the illusory is strengthening!"

Suddenly, the air in the bedroom solidified.

Gehrman Sparrow's figure first disappeared from the altar, then crossed that mysterious, hazy Gate of Summoning, appeared in front of Mr. "Moon," appeared in the passage opened by Ms. "Magician," and appeared outside the hole entering the dream city.

Immediately afterward, Gehrman Sparrow's destination was also "defrauded."

This character image, created jointly by "Mystic Reappearance," a large number of anchors, and nightmare power, flickered and flew toward the dream city.

Suddenly, in the dark void outside the gray mist, figures stood out.

They bypassed the lightning storm and rushed toward the "door" opened by Ms. "Magician" one after another, rushing toward Gehrman Sparrow.

At this critical moment, no Major Arcana cards could spare a hand or stop it in time.

Ms. "Judgment" could not help but look out the window.

Ms. Tinicor and Ms. Sharon had also come and were guarding against accidents. Would they be in time to act?

A moment later, Ms. "Magician" saw a lighter-colored mist permeating outside the gray mist, and there seemed to be a wilderness and a river within the mist.

Those figures flying toward Gehrman Sparrow crashed into the mist and suddenly disappeared.

Finally, Gehrman Sparrow, carrying a large number of anchors, arrived inside the cinema in the dream city.

And at this time, Ms. "Justice" wove the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow for the third time.

Two Gehrman Sparrows pulled each other and fused together.

"Gehrman Sparrow!

"Gehrman Sparrow!"

The audience in the cinema shouted loudly.

Accompanied by such shouting, the newly appeared Gehrman Sparrow became clear and obviously stable.

But he still kept his eyes tightly closed, as if he still had no soul.

The dream's rejection power descended.

At this time, Franca pulled Gehrman Sparrow from the movie out of the screen.

Then, she saw another Gehrman Sparrow in front, also wearing a half-high silk top hat and a black trench coat.

This is... Franca had no time to think about other things, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the Gehrman Sparrow behind her begin to disintegrate rapidly.

She gritted her teeth, followed the spiritual intuition of the "Despair Witch," and pulled Gehrman Sparrow from the movie toward the front.

The next second, she released the palm grabbing Gehrman Sparrow's forearm from the movie, watching the other party, under the attraction and pull of mysticism, actively lean toward the other Gehrman Sparrow and merge into it.

Rumble!

Terrifying movement came from the sky again.

This time, it didn't sound like thunder roaring, but more like the collapse of the dream.

"Eh..." Franca suddenly made a surprised sound.

Inside the Yangdu High-Speed Railway Station, the collapsed half remained dark and deep.

Lu Mian looked up at the sky that was making a rumbling sound and smiled at Zhou Mingrui, who was standing on the edge, only one step away from falling into the darkness:

"Their attempt seems to have succeeded.

"Using countless anchors, 'Hermit' ability, and 'Nightmare' ability to create a Gehrman Sparrow image in reality, and then finding a way to send him into the dream city to combine with the Gehrman Sparrow dream image woven by the 'Dream Weaver' was not a plan I came up with, but a plan the Major Arcana cards had long ago, just didn't have time to implement.

"My contribution was proposing that the Gehrman Sparrow image in the movie was the one that appeared earliest and was created out of thin air, and that the 'Despair Witch' could bring him out of the screen, so why not try combining the three into one.

"Well, I also had another contribution: creating such an opportunity."

Zhou Mingrui listened calmly, without any emotional changes.

Suddenly, Lu Mian's smile became brilliant, and he whispered to Zhou Mingrui:

"My 'Despair' potion has been completely digested."
