Chapter 915: A Symbol

Seeing this, Anthony didn't test himself and voluntarily exited this office.

It was only ten or twenty seconds later that he heard Lu Mian's feminized voice:

"You can come in."

Compared to before, this female voice wasn't as low and suppressed, having a bit more clarity.

Anthony pushed open the office door and saw Lu Mian had changed into the slightly waist-cinching white shirt she had specifically bought for her female identity, paired with a pair of blue-leaning jeans, which set off her slender waist and long, straight legs. She also had a pair of deep rose-colored sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. This was clearly just a very cheap street stall item, yet Lu Mian wore it with a graceful, beautiful, atmospheric, and sharp feel.

Lu Mian slightly gathered the shiny black hair that hung down on both sides and covered most of her cheeks, and said to Anthony:

"Let's go back to the rented house first."

Anthony carefully grabbed the sleeve of Lu Mian's shirt. Franca and Jenna each held one of her arms, and Ludwig, who still had a lollipop in his mouth, chose to tug on his godfather's hem.

The figures of the few people then faded and disappeared in this abandoned office building without surveillance cameras, appearing in the rented house where the pots and bowls hadn't had time to be washed.

Lu Mian said to Franca:

"You guys drive to the outside of Mushu Hospital to meet me. There might not be a chance to escape by 'Teleport' later."

This wasn't to say he couldn't "Teleport," but if he were in public, using "Teleport" or "Mirror Travel" in front of a large number of citizens would inevitably become a hot search, and it was very likely he would be locked onto directly by the Celestial Worthy.

"Okay." Franca threw the lip balm and lipstick she had bought to Lu Mian. "Once you're in the hospital, if you need to look in the mirror frequently, just pretend you're touching up your makeup."

In this matter, a female image had a natural advantage and wasn't easily discovered as abnormal by people in the dream.

Lu Mian caught the lipstick and lip balm, and according to the positioning obtained when monitoring the divine envoy's corpse with the mirror just now, "Teleported" to the greenery-covered edge area of Mushu Hospital, walked out from behind a few trees, and turned into the crowd.

Her supermodel-like height and the skin condition, contour details, and lip curvature revealed between the black hair and sunglasses made passersby and patients, even if they couldn't see her specific appearance, look again and again, seemingly wanting to restore the world-shaking beauty that might exist under the sunglasses through their own brain's completion.

Someone accidentally bumped into someone else, and someone missed a step on the stairs and almost fell.

The only regret they had was that this tall beauty wearing sunglasses didn't walk gracefully enough, moving in a rush like a man.

Lu Mian gradually slowed his pace, as if recalling how Aurora walked normally.

After passing the security check and entering the outpatient building, he stopped temporarily, took out a makeup mirror and lip balm, and added a bit of luster and moisture to his pale lips.

In the process, he discovered that this mirror, which had once been smeared with the residue of the divine envoy's hair, could reflect some scenes again.

This included Danitz's back, the medicine collection window, and passing patients and their family members caring for them.

Lu Mian identified the direction and walked toward the medicine collection window.

He didn't walk fast, his gaze casually examining the people around him and the layout of the first floor of the hospital.

Everything was normal, with no scenes of desire erupting.

Vaguely, Lu Mian had a sense of familiarity.

It wasn't that he had been to a similar place; it came from the depths of his soul.

Lu Mian pursed his lips and thought in a daze:

"Is it Aurora's memory?

"Did she frequent this kind of large hospital before transmigrating? Also, who doesn't get sick...

"After I turned into a female image, her soul fragments became a bit more active? Hmm, it must also be that Mr. 'Fool's' dream city is very similar to her hometown, causing her soul fragments to be stimulated..."

Lu Mian quickly suppressed the emotions in his heart. He still remembered that he entered Mushu Hospital to track the whereabouts of the divine envoy's corpse and observe the situation here.

His gaze swept across faces that were either wearing masks or containing hidden worry, feeling that this should be no different from the situation in a normal hospital.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.

It was the male nursing assistant who had a mental breakdown last night because of the resurrection of the female corpse.

This nursing assistant was wearing a mask and pushing a transfer bed, his eyes containing no fear or worry, his performance nearly identical to that of his colleagues.

"He still dares to work in this hospital?" Lu Mian's eyebrows moved slightly.

That nursing assistant seemed to have forgotten the incident of him insulting the corpse, and also forgotten the horror of the corpse suddenly waking up.

It was as if someone had told him that the female corpse hadn't actually died, and his crime had actually helped the other party escape fake death, so she didn't need to be cremated, and the other party intended to forgive him.

Lu Mian shook his head slowly, took out the lip balm and makeup mirror, and once again tracked the whereabouts of the divine envoy's corpse.

The scene presented in the mirror was an area with eight elevators. The back of the divine envoy Danitz had just passed through the elevator door, and the button outside was in a state where the downward arrow was lit.

"Is this going to the basement floor? Is the destination really the morgue?" Lu Mian passed in front of the medicine collection window and turned toward the stairwell nearby.

There were patients and family members waiting here.

Lu Mian looked left and right, feeling that "Witches" like himself should prepare some masks, which could more effectively cover their appearance and not become the focus of others' attention.

The elevator came slowly, and it took Lu Mian two or three minutes to wait for an elevator that continued downward.

The people inside poured out, leaving only a patient sitting in a wheelchair and a nursing assistant wearing green clothes pushing the wheelchair.

The nursing assistant was wearing a mask, and the patient was relatively elderly, with hair and beard already gray.

Their gazes looked at Lu Mian simultaneously, and the depths of their deep brown eyes seemed to hide some unsettling gloom.

Lu Mian, who was about to step in, stopped abruptly.

He felt that the elevator lacked light, as if it had become a giant mouth about to close.

The two doors of the elevator closed slowly, and it became darker and darker inside, just like falling into an abyss.

Lu Mian looked on expressionlessly, giving up the intention of walking in.

He felt a strong sense of danger.

And his spiritual intuition, superimposed on the slight activity of Aurora's soul fragments, made him vaguely perceive what was hidden in the depths of the eyes of the two people in the elevator just now.

It was a strong desire.

It was a strong desire to tear his clothes and vent their inner cravings!

The elevator door finally closed, the downward arrow went out, and the numbers began to jump.

Going to the basement floor to the morgue would be very dangerous... Lu Mian looked for a few more seconds and muttered silently.

After deliberating slightly, he gave up the impulse to walk down the stairs to find out, and had a new idea:

"How about calling the police? Just say I saw the missing Danitz enter Mushu Hospital and go down to the basement floor..."

Lu Mian had just had such a thought when his mobile phone vibrated buzzingly.

He took out his mobile phone and saw it was from "Luo Fu."

—On the identity document given by Ms. "Justice," Franca's name was "Luo Fu."

Lu Mian answered the phone not very skillfully but with some habit, and said tentatively:

"Hello?"

Franca, who was driving the vehicle, was wearing headphones and looking straight ahead, saying:

"You'd better not explore Mushu Hospital deeply now. Wait a bit, wait for the police to come and investigate."

"Why do you say that?" Lu Mian didn't think his thought just now had been perceived by Franca.

Franca turned the steering wheel and said:

"I was shocked by the resurrection of the divine envoy's corpse just now and didn't discover some details. I only woke up after getting in the car.

"When the divine envoy's corpse got out of the car at the entrance of Mushu Hospital, did he scan the code to pay?"

"Yes." Lu Mian had an extremely deep impression of the matter of scanning the code to pay. Franca had been telling them they could do so and had demonstrated it several times herself.

Franca, wearing headphones and driving the sedan, revealed a slightly proud smile:

"The divine envoy has been classified as missing by the police. And for a missing person, their mobile phone account suddenly pays a sum of money. Do you think it will attract the attention of the police, thereby mastering his itinerary?

"The police should be arriving at Mushu Hospital soon. If you sneak into a place where secrets are hidden now, you will very likely run into them."

"Can it be like this? The efficiency is really high..." Lu Mian muttered a few words in a low voice.

Now, he didn't need to find a way to call the police!

The police in this dream city were much more efficient than the police in Trier, and they could master key clues without him reminding them.

Lu Mian held his mobile phone, pretended to have received an emergency call, and left this stairwell.

He returned all the way to the medicine collection area and hid in the waiting crowd.

Not long after, he saw the dream projection of that police officer surnamed Deng and Mr. "Star." They led a team of police and rushed toward the stairwell from before.

Lu Mian played the role of a spectator watching the fun and waited patiently for nearly twenty minutes before waiting for that team of police to return.

They were carrying a stretcher, and the person on the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, only vaguely revealing scorched yellow hair.

The divine envoy's corpse... Lu Mian made a positive judgment with the help of the makeup mirror in his hand.

He then felt suspicious:

They found the resurrected corpse just like that?

No incident occurred?

…………

Returning to the car driven by Franca, Lu Mian told the story of what had just happened.

Franca also had the same suspicion:

"The people at Mushu Hospital didn't resist the police?

"Theoretically speaking, Mushu Hospital should be formed by the power of that great existence, the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' infiltrating inside. Even if it isn't Her, at least it should be a Sequence 0 true god belonging to Her who is operating it..."

Lu Mian expressed his own thoughts:

"Two possibilities:

"One, Mushu Hospital isn't an external projection, but originates from Mr. 'Fool's' impression of the 'Mother Tree of Desire' and Her subordinates.

"Two, this is a symbol, representing that external projections, even if they originate from great existences, cannot confront the main consciousness of the dream head-on. And in this city, the symbol of the dream's main consciousness is the official force, the police department.

"That is to say, individual police can be targeted and influenced, but confronting the entire police department is equivalent to confronting the dream itself, confronting Mr. 'Fool' plus that Celestial Worthy."
