Lord of Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Chapter 991  Proactive Small Talk

After suspecting that Zaratulstra had replaced the teachers at Dream Tutoring Classes and Star Tutoring Classes to target the image of Gehrman Sparrow, who didnʼt actually exist in the dream city, Lumian and the others discussed this for quite a while, but still couldnʼt figure out the significance and purpose of doing so.

They decided to write a letter, which Franca and Jenna would take to Star Dream Provisions Store tomorrow to mail out, to see what opinions the Major Arcana card holders would give.

As they stood up, preparing to leave the rented apartment in Xinhong District, Franca remembered something and curiously looked at Lumian. ”You said earlier that Li Kejiʼs pregnancy was because Grimmʼs cognition, the Omebella bloodline in you, and the Celestial Worthyʼs subconscious taking dominance because of Mushu Hospitalʼs environment, equating you with the Child of God Omebella in the dream, making your casual comment ʼheʼs already pregnantʼ become reality. So, as the Child of God Omebella, can you now use the Beyonder powers of a Planter, Apothecary, and Heretic Spellmaster pathways?”

Francaʼs eyes gleamed, feeling this had a bit of a ”I guess that went well” flavor to it.

Of course, this ”I” referred to the dream subconscious.

As long as the dream subconscious believed it, anything could happen!

Lumian tried to see if he could use the abilities related to Vampire, Harvest Priest, and Heretic Spellmaster, but all attempts failed.

”It doesnʼt work.” He shook his head.

Before Franca could respond, he added thoughtfully, ”Maybe itʼs possible in Mushu Hospital.”

As Franca nodded in agreement, Jenna reminded Lumian, ”If thatʼs really the case, frequent visits to Mushu Hospital might cause you to become more and more like Omebella, until youʼre completely equivalent.”

Lumian pondered for a few seconds, then said gravely, ”Itʼs a possibility.”

Franca immediately hissed. ”How sinister is the Great Motherʼs style, always making people fall into traps unknowingly? Sometimes, being vigilant seems useless…”

At this point, Franca answered her own question, ”Judging by the name, perhaps the Great Mother symbolizes the ʼyinʼ—ʼdarknessʼ in the term ʼyin-yangʼ…”

…

The next day, which was Sunday, Lumian again brought Ludwig to Dream Tutoring Classes.

While sending the child into the classroom, he discreetly observed the front desk, every teacher he encountered, and Anderson Hood with his Eye of Calamity.

Except for the latter, the mercury-colored river of fate corresponding to the others all showed a black color representing death at some point in the past. Some of these black patches had become blurred, while others were still relatively clear, flowing forward with the illusory river, getting further and further behind, becoming harder to see.

They are indeed reborn people… Lumian didnʼt engage in conversation with Anderson Hood, but stepped back and sat in his usual spot.

Just as he was about to contemplate how to handle this situation, he suddenly saw Zhou Mingrui, wearing a loose sky-blue T-shirt, walking towards him.

How dedicated, to still remember to come for Business English class after witnessing Zaratulstra being shot and observing Mr. Cui… Lumian mused, standing up to greet Zhou Mingrui.

As fellow employees of Intis Group who had met more than once, this was expected courtesy.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingrui returned the greeting.

Just when Lumian thought he would smoothly turn into the classroom, Zhou Mingrui stopped, right in front of him.

Zhou Mingrui looked around and asked, ”Has Mr. Da resigned? I havenʼt seen him every time Iʼve come recently.

”You know Mr. Da, right?”

”Yes, Da Nizi. I brought my child here to enroll after seeing the flier he handed out,” Lumian answered simply.

He hadnʼt expected Zhou Mingrui to initiate casual conversation with him, and even ask about the Oracle Danitz.

Stimulated by the Zaratulstra incident, has Zhou Mingrui started to more actively explore the hidden anomalies around him, more boldly engaging with us problematic people, and thus discovered that Teacher Da from Dream Tutoring Classes hasnʼt appeared recently? This is good news! Hmm, thereʼs also a downside, if he keeps investigating like this, who knows when my team and I might be kicked out of the dream without warning, just like Mr. Cui… Lumianʼs thoughts raced, forming a rough judgment.

Before Zhou Mingrui could ask further, he sighed and said, ”Mr. Da didnʼt resign, he passed away.”

”Ah?” Zhou Mingruiʼs gaze suddenly froze.
