Chapter 973: Past Events

"'The World' wakes, 'The Fool' returns..."

Jenna had seen this sentence in the materials provided by the Major Arcana cards; it was considered the most important revelation made by Mr. "Fool" before he fell asleep, hiding the direction to awaken him.

The Sequence 0 "Fool" of the "Seer" pathway is said to have authority over fate!

Jenna looked at Lady "Justice," not asking any questions, waiting for the other party to continue.

Lady "Justice" pointed to the sofa area:

"Let's sit down and talk."

After both sides chose a sofa, Lady "Justice" spoke in a soft voice:

"In the dream city, after our initial information gathering, we discovered a problem:

"There is no dream image corresponding to Gehrman Sparrow.

"And among Mr. 'Fool's' incarnations, the dream image of Klein Mo Leidi is blended into Zhou Mingrui. This can be seen from the fact that Zhou Mingrui's older brother is named Zhou Benson and his younger sister is named Zhou Shasha, corresponding to Klein Mo Leidi's older brother Benson and younger sister Melissa in reality.

"Other incarnations, such as the private detective or the wandering magician, can all find corresponding images in the dream city, but they are dispersed among multiple people; they either each use half of the name or only reflect the corresponding characteristics."

Hearing this, Jenna nodded slightly.

These were all mentioned in the materials; their team had also secretly observed the corresponding images and would conduct in-depth contact with them one by one later.

Lady "Justice" smiled with a sigh:

"We have confirmed that part of the dream images; there is no problem, and there is nothing that can be utilized.

"But Gehrman Sparrow, as one of Mr. 'Fool's' two most important incarnations, as the 'World' in that revelation, actually has no corresponding image in the dream city.

"At that time, this made us feel strong suspicion and a bit of excitement.

"We aren't afraid of problems; we are afraid that everything is normal.

"The result of our discussion was to try to shape the character Gehrman Sparrow in the dream city. Only with Gehrman Sparrow can we talk about letting the 'World' wake up."

Jenna listened, feeling both surprised and excited.

This train of thought was something they hadn't thought of before.

Of course, this was mainly because they had just finished the stage of observing important characters and were still experimenting with what results different degrees of contact with different characters would have, not having yet summarized the information to find a way to awaken Mr. "Fool."

Lu Mi had made some associations from the sentence "'The World' wakes, 'The Fool' returns," which was why he had Jenna observe the actor playing Gehrman Sparrow after she was hired by the Hall Cinema Company.

What they didn't expect was that filming the movie "The Great Pirate 3" not only contained the idea of stimulating Zhou Mingrui and awakening his memory, but also the purpose of shaping the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow out of thin air!

Lady "Justice" continued:

"Our first attempt was for me to use the ability of a 'Dream Weaver' and the resources of the Hall Group to directly create the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow and give him real identity proof and past experiences. As for the result, well, I was kicked out of the dream.

"My gold coins were obtained from Lady Reinette, and later returned to Her; She had been kicked out three times before I entered the dream city.

"Being kicked out of the dream didn't discourage me; I even felt excited, thinking that this might truly be a meaningful direction. Otherwise, the Celestial Worthy wouldn't have cast His gaze to this place far away from Zhou Mingrui.

"We started the second attempt, with Lady 'Magician' using the identity of a 'Nothing,' well, a bestselling novelist, to write 'The Great Pirate 3.'"

"'The Great Pirate 3' was also written by you on purpose?" Jenna asked thoughtfully.

Lady "Justice" revealed a smile that made Jenna's eyes light up:

"Haven't you seen 'The Great Pirate 1' and 'The Great Pirate 2'? They tell the story of pirates; the character Gehrman Sparrow does not appear. In other words, before Lady 'Magician' personally wrote 'The Great Pirate 3,' the dream image of Gehrman Sparrow didn't even exist in the story.

"The completion and publication of 'The Great Pirate 3' also led to Lady 'Magician' being kicked out of the dream.

"We felt we were on the right path, so I purchased the film and television rights for 'The Great Pirate 3' through the Hall Cinema Company and started preparing to film."

It's really good to be rich... Jenna couldn't help but sigh.

If it were their team, let alone filming a movie related to Gehrman Sparrow, they would still be short of who knows how many lottery wins just to buy the rights to "The Great Pirate 3."

Lady "Justice" recalled:

"I personally served as the producer and personally selected the actor to play Gehrman Sparrow.

"Then, I discovered An Xiaotian. He was an actor, a star. It was such a coincidence, as if Mr. 'Fool' had secretly set it up, waiting for us to trigger it.

"An Xiaotian's persona in the dream was that his parents died, he was raised by his sister, dropped out of school after graduating from high school, and entered the entertainment industry.

"His sister fell seriously ill and is currently also a vegetable. In order to maintain the hope of his sister waking up, he worked very hard to become a big star and earned quite a bit of money.

"I sent him an invitation and offered a salary he couldn't refuse.

"I was actually a bit apprehensive at the time, wondering if inviting An Xiaotian to play Gehrman Sparrow would cause any problems. You also know that the real person An Xiaotian corresponds to is Antigonus, half a 'Fool' of the Fourth Epoch, and he hasn't fallen yet. If His spiritual imprint and the movie image of Gehrman Sparrow were stitched together, it could possibly affect Mr. 'Fool's' self-cognition, or let Antigonus and that Celestial Worthy benefit.

"To ensure there were no problems, we contacted Antigonus through the Church of the 'Evernight Goddess,' and He told us we could try."

"Antigonus has a close connection with the Church of the 'Evernight Goddess'? Can He be trusted?" Jenna asked instinctively.

Lady "Justice"'s smile became slightly complex:

"Being caught and imprisoned can also be considered a kind of connection...

"However, after the Goddess descended an oracle and promised Antigonus one thing, He has already been working for the Church of the 'Evernight Goddess,' so what He says is still quite credible.

"That's why I finally decided to invite An Xiaotian to play Gehrman Sparrow.

"On the very day filming started, An Xiaotian had a very serious car accident and also became a vegetable."

Also... he and his sister are both vegetables now... Jenna felt it was miserable just thinking about it.

"At the same time, that also led to me being kicked out of the dream for the second time," Lady "Justice" said with self-mockery. "Later, I was subjected to no small amount of restrictions. By the time I entered the dream city for the third time, Holly had already selected the actor to play Gehrman Sparrow. What was quite good was that she decided to personally fund the establishment of a foundation to pay for all the medical expenses for An Xiaotian and his sister."

Jenna vaguely felt that Lady "Justice" was praising her own dream image, Holly, for being quite a good person, worthy of being her dream image, but she was too embarrassed to say it too clearly.

Lady "Justice" skipped this topic and said directly:

"I didn't find anyone more suitable to play Gehrman Sparrow. Using the potion provided by Mr. 'Moon' also failed to wake An Xiaotian, so I had to let Jia Yu try. It's a pity that after Jia Yu finished filming, he failed to blend with the image of Gehrman Sparrow, and the movie also failed to make Zhou Mingrui remember anything; it just created some role-imitators of Gehrman Sparrow.

"Perhaps, when An Xiaotian had the car accident, the purpose that the movie 'The Great Pirate 3' wanted to achieve was destined to fail.

"During the filming of 'The Great Pirate 3,' I actually discovered that people were gradually forgetting An Xiaotian, no longer remembering this person, only able to recall the corresponding events.

"I wasn't affected, but I also gave myself psychological suggestions, telling myself not to forget An Xiaotian.

"When I was in the dream city, I did remember, until I was kicked out for the third time..."

There's a feeling of being fooled... Jenna thought for a few seconds and said:

"An Xiaotian-related matters might still hide very useful secrets, which is why the Celestial Worthy fooled everyone, making everyone forget him."

"This is also our speculation," Lady "Justice" nodded.

Jenna turned to say:

"An Xiaotian in his vegetative state seems to want to warn Lu Mi to be careful of whom. Please contact Antigonus again to see if He has dreamed of anything in reality or knows anything."

"This is what we should do," Lady "Justice" looked around and said. "Don't rush back. Wait for the feedback from the Church of the 'Evernight Goddess.' That might come very soon, and you can take the opportunity to deepen your psychological cognition of reality, so as not to confuse reality and dreams in the end."

"Okay." Jenna nodded politely, stood up, and walked toward the garden behind the villa.

She wanted to take a walk there.

…………

Three o'clock in the morning.

Franca saw "Jenna," who had fallen asleep at some point, wake up suddenly, and understood that the real Jenna had returned.

Jenna lowered her voice and recounted in detail what Lady "Justice" had said to Franca, finally saying:

"Antigonus said He could perceive Mr. 'Fool's' dream, but He had never entered it and didn't want to, so He didn't know what An Xiaotian in his vegetative state wanted to warn Lu Mi about."

"Is it possible to invite Antigonus to enter once, using An Xiaotian in his vegetative state? That way, He might know what An Xiaotian wants to warn about," Franca said after deliberation.

Jenna shook her head:

"After An Xiaotian became a vegetable, even if Antigonus wanted to enter, there was no way."

"Have to find a way to treat An Xiaotian?" Franca said to herself thoughtfully. "Cure him, let him wake up, and there would be no need for Antigonus to enter...

"How to cure him? Treatment potions don't seem to work..."

After a pause, Franca and Jenna thought of a possibility at the same time:

"Mother Tree of Desire"!

And Lu Mi is currently disguised as a god-child of the "Mother Tree of Desire."
