Chapter 962: Psychiatry Department (Requesting monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Taking advantage of the cover of the parents in front, Lu Mian secretly observed every move of Zarathustra.

After listening to Aina Na's introduction for a few minutes, Zarathustra nodded, left the door of the Business English class, and turned to look at other training classes currently in session.

"He didn't do anything..." Lu Mian was puzzled, but didn't relax his vigilance.

It wasn't until Zarathustra finished visiting the Dream Cram School, and Aina Na sent him and his entourage out and returned to the Business English class, that Lu Mian sat back in his original position and muttered silently:

"He just left?

"Was it purely just to recognize Zhou Mingrui and complete the first contact, or has he already done something secretly that I didn't notice? For example, has he already controlled Principal Aina, or secretly used some ability to achieve his predetermined goal while only a few meters away?"

Lu Mian thought about it, picked up his phone, and sent a message to Jenna:

"Ask Luo Shan to remind the target through WeChat to pay attention to his own state today, don't drink water that has been brought to the cram school, and buy new ones later."

This was to indirectly and implicitly remind Zhou Mingrui. At the same time, this was also an experiment to see if the hints conveyed by dream characters during the day would bring abnormalities to them.

A few minutes later, Zhou Mingrui, who was listening carefully, felt the phone in his pants pocket vibrate.

He took out his phone, lowered his head, unlocked the screen, and saw the message from Luo Shan:

"Remember to reflect on yourself three times a day, and don't drink water that has been brought outside."

What does this mean? No head, no tail, inexplicable... Zhou Mingrui first grumbled twice, then noticed the hidden reminder.

He hadn't fully determined whether Luo Shan was good or bad, or whether she had more goodwill or malice toward him, but frequently reflecting on his own state and not drinking the current water—even if he followed it, there would be no loss.

On such matters, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!

Zhou Mingrui replied with a "Good" word, stuffed the phone back into his pocket, and raised his head again.

He didn't look at the bottle of mineral water he had placed on the table again.

Outside the classroom, Lu Mian once again examined Zarathustra's performance just now:

"He just looked at Zhou Mingrui for a while from a distance of a few meters and didn't try to get close...

"Regardless of whether he did anything secretly, such a performance makes me feel that he doesn't dare to deeply contact Zhou Mingrui and do things in front of That One...

"Combined with Franca's feelings about being kicked out of the dream this morning and the infighting over the lottery incident, it can be seen that Mr. 'Fool' has a certain degree of control over the dream, at least not much weaker than the Celestial Worthy. In such a situation, if Zarathustra provoked Him and was discovered or had his identity locked onto, it's very likely he would be turned into a marionette or kicked out of the dream...

"In the dream city, it's not just us who need to be careful; the Celestial Worthy's subordinates also have to follow the same rules..."

Thinking of this, Lu Mian's line of thinking became much clearer.

He stood up, paced in the corridor, thinking about the details of some problems while waiting for the possible consequences of indirectly reminding Zhou Mingrui.

Walking to the end of the aisle, he looked through the window and swept a glance outside casually.

He suddenly saw Zarathustra walking out of the building diagonally opposite, accompanied by a young girl, followed by his entourage and many unfamiliar faces.

Lu Mian was very familiar with the appearance of that young girl.

Major Arcana card "Hermit," "Queen of Stars" Cattleya!

"Lady 'Hermit's' role in the dream city is Huang Jiajia, the roommate of the eldest lady Huang Beibei. Because she lost a bet, she has always called Huang Beibei 'Dad'... The relationship woven by Mr. 'Fool's' subconscious is quite interesting...

"Huang Jiajia's family opened the Star Cram School, which is a competitor to the Dream Cram School, so they used high rewards to invite Zhou Mingrui to sign up for classes at the Dream Cram School to scout the enemy's situation...

"Is Zarathustra doing the whole act, even investigating the competitor of the Dream Cram School, or does he want to do something to Lady 'Hermit's' dream image?

"Speaking of which, the dried mushrooms that prevented Zhou Mingrui from drinking the 'Instigator' drink came from Huang Jiajia and were grown by Li Keji, the biology teacher at the Star Cram School. And this person's prototype is 'Legendary Druid' Frank Lee... No wonder those dried mushrooms have divine strangeness. In Mr. 'Fool's' subconscious, any mushroom product sent by Frank Lee might have problems..."

Lu Mian stood at the window, watching until Zarathustra got into a black business car, and Huang Jiajia and others stood by the roadside waving goodbye, before preparing to walk back to the outside of the Enlightenment English class.

Suddenly, he heard a woo-woo sound.

It was an ambulance. It stopped at the entrance of the Star Cram School. Not only nurses but also police jumped out.

What happened? Brought by Zarathustra? Lu Mian stopped and continued to watch from afar.

Not long after, the police and nurses brought a person out from the Star Cram School. That person was wearing a white shirt and army green suspender pants, had long brown hair, and dense body hair. His hands were tied behind his back, he was handcuffed, and his legs and body were tied up tightly.

This person was carried out and stuffed into the ambulance.

Lu Mian recognized this person.

He was Li Keji, the biology teacher at the Star Cram School, and the corresponding prototype character was "Legendary Druid" Frank Lee!

"How did he get arrested? And arrested by an ambulance...

"Did something go wrong with the mushrooms?

"Or, is this the problem brought by Zarathustra? He wants to eliminate Frank Lee's dream image so that he won't have his plans ruined by some mushroom again next time?"

Lu Mian quickly took out his phone and scrolled through local news and videos.

In just a few minutes, he saw the relevant push:

"Family members, who dares to believe it? I just went to take a biology cram class, and the teacher was actually arrested as a terrorist with mental problems!

"Is studying biology so dangerous?

"The teacher even said before that if the test results were good this time, he would give me a bag of new varieties of mushrooms!"

After scrolling through a few similar videos, Lu Mian roughly determined that Frank Lee was arrested by the Celestial Worthy's side for some reason, first to treat his mental problems, and then talk about other things.

"However, judging from the description in the latest volume of 'The Great Adventurer' and the situation of Zhou Mingrui's bag of dried mushrooms, the probability that the mushrooms grown at 'Li Keji's' house have no problems is very, very small. What is this called... it seems to be, endangering public safety by dangerous methods? Arresting him can be considered reasonable..." Lu Mian just thought of this when he received a message.

It came from "Intis Group Green":

"There is something that needs you to handle personally."

What could need the Divine Child to handle personally? Lu Mian used voice input to reply:

"Is it urgent?"

"Not too urgent," Green replied quickly.

Lu Mian thought for a few seconds and said:

"Then wait until I'm done with the child."

In front of the Mother's believers, it was still necessary to show more of the radiance of motherhood to make them more convinced of his identity.

"Okay, you go ahead," Green answered quite humbly. It was impossible to tell that he was the security director of the Intis Group, while Lu Mian was just a small security guard.

Lu Mian took this opportunity to inform Jenna about Zarathustra and Frank Lee's encounter.

After the Business English class and the Enlightenment English class ended one after another, Lu Mian politely said goodbye to Zhou Mingrui, took Ludwig, left the Dream Cram School, and got into the gray sedan driven by Anthony.

Only then did he send a message to "Intis Group Green":

"Time, location."

Just over ten seconds later, Green replied:

"I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the Dawn Hospital."

Dawn Hospital... Lu Mian frowned slightly.

…………

Under the scorching sun, Lu Mian saw Green standing in the shade of a tree.

This security director of the Intis Group had changed into a light-colored striped shirt and wore sunglasses, disguising himself well.

"What's the matter?" Lu Mian walked past Green and headed straight into the Dawn Hospital.

Green followed behind him to the side, saying with a smile:

"You'll know when you see it. This should be one of the purposes for which the Mother asked you to come."

The way you say this, why does it feel like you dug a trap in front waiting for me to jump in... Lu Mian nodded gently without asking more.

Wouldn't asking too much show that there was no connection between me and the "Great Mother" at all?

Green walked a few steps faster, overtook him, and led the way in front.

He led Lu Mian around the main building to a three-story building with a lawn and garden, surrounded by high walls.

"This is the Psychiatry Department," Green introduced, verified his identity with the security guard, and passed through the iron gate.

Lu Mian nodded thoughtfully.

The two soon entered the building. Just as they climbed to the second floor under the guidance of a nurse, they heard a patient banging on the iron door and shouting:

"Let me out!

"I'm not sick! I fought two Supremes to the edge of the universe before losing and being caught by you. I'm not sick!

"This is my marionette, this is my paper figurine. Look, I'm carrying them. I'm not crazy!

"I've divined it, there's no danger, really no danger. That voice is very normal. Didn't you hear it?

"Let me out! Let me out!"

Lu Mian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this:

Which extraordinary of the "Seer" pathway is this? At least a "Marionettist"...

Lu Mian then associated it with that "Marionettist" who hadn't made a move when they killed the resurrected female corpse, and associated it with the next morning, when a madman was found at the garbage dump near the Moonlight Mall and sent to the hospital.

Is this the "Marionettist" who went crazy? He was sent to the Psychiatry Department of the Dawn Hospital... What voice did he hear? What caused him to go crazy? While Lu Mian was thinking, his footsteps didn't stop. He followed the nurse and Green all the way to the end of the deserted corridor.

The nurse stood at the door of the ward at the very end and said to Green and Lu Mian:

"The patient is inside. You can look at him through the window, don't put your hands in."

After saying this, she turned and left without further exhortations.

After watching the nurse disappear at the stairwell, Green smiled at Lu Mian:

"Divine Child, Li Keji is inside."

Li Keji... Frank Lee? Although Lu Mian had already expected it, he was still shocked.
