Chapter 969 Conspirerâs Sensitivity
Star Dream Provisions Store.
With Ludwig tagging along, Anthony received the reply letter from the Major Arcana card holders from the shop owner.
âIn reality, Rozanne is under strict protection from the Church of Evernight Goddess. As long as sheâs asleep, there will definitely be Beyonders monitoring her dream state. The Church of Evernight Goddess are experts in this areaâŠâ
âOn the Future, Frank Lee hasnât shown any more abnormalities so far. Heâs the same as before. Regarding Li Keji in the dream, our bottom line is that we canât let him be corrupted by the power of the Great Mother, nor can we let him become a puppet of the Celestial Worthy through death and rebirthâŠâ
Reading this, Anthony seemed to hear the inner thoughts of the Major Arcana card holders: âIf necessary, you can actively eliminate Li Keji and destroy the body. In any case, we canât let him be corrupted or exploited. Death wonât affect the real person in reality.â
Lumian thought the same⊠Anthony hadnât personally witnessed Li Kejiâs mushrooms, he had only heard Lumian recount the otherâs ideas, which he found somewhat reasonable but also permeated with bewildering madness.
He continued reading the rest of the letter.
âWe can only confirm that Anderson Hood is currently in Anderson, the capital of Lenburg, but we canât find him. We will communicate with the Church of Knowledge later.â
The fact that even the Major Arcana card holders from different pathways canât find him proves that Anderson Hood is hiding very well. Perhaps he has even received protection from higher powers⊠Is the communication with the Church of Knowledge a way to confirm if they had provided help to Anderson Hood? If not, things would be even more complex and troublesome⊠Anthony folded the letter and stuffed it into his jeans pocket.
He then immediately dropped the letter he had written in advance into the silver-trimmed black mailbox.

Tech Building.
Lumian was already at work. While patrolling the floors, he pondered how to more effectively monitor Zaratulstraâs situation, and where to go tonight to observe this enemyâs stateâLumian wanted to see if Zaratulstra would still encounter hostility in his dreams at night after Luo Shan reminded Zhou Mingrui again, deepening the latterâs impression of Zaratulstra.
Reaching the seventh floor, taking advantage of Old Xiaâs trip to the bathroom, Lumian took out his phone, opened the online shopping platform Franca had mentioned, and typed a few words using voice input: âPinhole camerasâŠâ
He felt that although Zaratulstra was also suppressed to Sequence 7, he was essentially still an Angel with many mysterious and bizarre abilities. Relying solely on the mirror world to spy on him was obviously unrealistic; this could only be done occasionally.
So, Lumian planned to try scientific methods, to try pinhole cameras and bugs. Even if Zaratulstra later discovered these little devices, as long as he couldnât trace them back to Lumian, there wouldnât be any problem.
After completing the input, Lumian didnât press the âsearchâ button.

He remembered Franca saying this was illegal, part of the black and gray industry.
Letâs not even mention whether regular platforms sell these, but as a Child of God, why should I personally get involved in the black and gray industry? Iâm a law-abiding citizen⊠Lumian half-jokingly, half-mockingly closed the app and switched to WeChat, entering the conversational window with âIntis Group Grimmâ.
He calmly input: âPrepare some pinhole cameras and bugs for me, preferably with user manuals.
âAlso, give me Zaratulstraâs itinerary for the next two days.â
Zaratulstraâs safety in the dream city was jointly managed by his personal bodyguards and the Intis Groupâs security department, so Lumian knew last night that Zaratulstra was most likely at the hotel, and headed straight there to observe the situation. Of course, this wasnât entirely certain; Zaratulstra could change his itinerary at any time. He was the one in control, just like when he suddenly decided to visit two tutoring centers, Lumian hadnât received any warning from Grimm beforehand.
âAlright.â Grimm quickly replied to Lumian.
By the time Lumian finished patrolling the floors and returned to his office, opening the drawer that belonged to him, he immediately saw two sets of pinhole cameras and bugs quietly placed inside.
Lumian pulled out the paper placed on top of them and memorized Zaratulstraâs itinerary from 5 pm to 10pm today.
As the sky approached complete darkness, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom and teleported away.
He first used the mirror world to hide the pinhole cameras and bugs in inconspicuous places in Zaratulstraâs room, erased traces of his presence, and completed anti-divination using Mirror Substitution. Then he returned to the Tech Building and arrived at Mr. Huangâs exclusive 16th floor through the mirror.
Tonight, Mr. Huang would host a business dinner here to entertain Zaratulstra and his entourage.
Lumian was very grateful for Mr. Huangâs fondness for mirrors and gold foil decorations, which allowed him to easily find the best position to observe Zaratulstra from behind a mirror-like object on the ceiling.
The elderly man had just toasted a glass of red wine with Mr. Huang and appeared completely normal, while outside the window it was truly night.
Time ticked by, and Lumian quietly watched them drink wine, eat, and chat casually.
Suddenly, Mr. Huang leaned back in his chair, raised his head, and as if pondering a question, cast his gaze towards the mirror-like object where Lumian was hiding.
Lumian instinctively withdrew his body, moving away from the mirror surface.
Did Mr. Huang sense me?
Can he detect spying from behind mirrors?
Heâs just a dream projection, not Emperor Roselle⊠Was that just a pure coincidence just now, or in Mr. Foolâs subconscious cognition, is Mr. Huang hiding Beyonder powers? Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly remembered a piece of information Franca had told him: Louis Gustav of the Emperor faction has been very irritable lately because he couldnât contact a key figure, and that key figure was suspected to be the mirrored Emperor Roselle.
Thereâs a whiff of conspiracy⊠Lumianâs Conspirerâs intuition immediately gave him a suspicion: Could it be that the mirrored Emperor Roselle has also entered the dream?
She had previously cooperated with the subordinates of evil gods and Celestial Worthy, did She enter the dream with the help of the Celestial Worthyâs side? After all, Sheâs not a true god, hasnât accommodated the Uniqueness, and doesnât have special items, so itâs unlikely She could come in on Her ownâŠ
Is She working with Zaratulstra, attempting to erode and influence Emperor Roselleâs dream manifestation, Huang Tao, until they control and replace him?
She is essentially a Mirror People, so itâs only natural that She can detect someone spying from behind mirrorsâŠ
If She and Zaratulstra control the Intis Group, given the Groupâs influence and terrifying cash flow, the balance of victory will surely tilt rapidly!
While we focused on Zhou Mingrui, Li Keji, and An Xiaotian, Zaratulstra quietly raided our vaultâŠ
Normally, given that Princess Bernadette seems to still be able to enter the dream, Mr. Huang should be on our sideâŠ
But why did Mr. Huang so obviously look in my direction?
She could have pretended not to notice and waited for an opportunity to suddenly attackâŠ
The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Zaratulstra isnât a Conspirer, but heâs as good as one!
Indeed, my initial idea wasnât wrongâwe should actively attack, assassinate him, or trade one for one, kick him out⊠As these thoughts raced through Lumianâs mind, he pressed against the mirror surface again, looking down.
At this time, Mr. Huang had already withdrawn his gaze.
But Zaratulstra noticed his previous behavior and glanced at the ceiling, asking, âWhat were you looking at?â
Mr. Huang gently swirled the red wine in his glass and smiled, answering, âThinking about some things.â
Zaratulstra didnât ask further and started talking about other matters.
Lumian observed for several more minutes, confirming that Zaratulstra showed no abnormalities after nightfall.
In other words, after being punished once, Mr. Foolâs subconscious will consider this person completely marionettized. Even if Zhou Mingrui hears the corresponding name again, deepening his impression, it wonât alert the dreamâs subconscious, unless Zaratulstra does something new to stimulate him, bringing new changes? Lumian speculated about the reasons for the current situation as he left using Mirror Traversal.
âWhat took you so long?â Old Xia casually asked when he saw him walk back into the office.
Lumian sighed and said, âAh, Iâm the kind of person who gets diarrhea when I eat excessively spicy stuff, and gets constipated when I donât eat spicy food.â
Old Xia enthusiastically started chatting about the topic of âspicy foodâ.

Late at night, Lumian teleported to the vicinity of Crimson Moon Hospital, continuously flashing between the glass windows of different special wards through the mirror world.
After a minute, he stopped.
Before him was a dark hospital room with only a bit of moonlight, and his spiritual intuition told him that the person in the room was An Xiaotian, whom he was looking for.
Lumian looked down at the hospital bed from above and saw a person connected to many machines and tubes.
The personâs head was immersed in darkness, only vaguely showing decent facial features, but the beard seemed to have been only trimmed short due to not being shaved for a long time, growing up to just below the cheeks, thick and black, in tufts.
Lumian observed for a while, then walked out of the glass window and approached the bedside.
He saw that the comatose patientâs head was shaved bald, with multiple suture marks on top that looked like giant centipedes.
A scene spontaneously formed in Lumianâs mind: the head forcibly split open, the brain violently extracted, then something unknown placed in the emptied space before suturing shutâŠ
A symbol? Just as this thought flashed through Lumianâs mind, he saw on the monitor that the heartbeat became intense, with peaks and valleys rapidly alternating, bringing a beeping alarm sound.
Lumian instinctively stepped back, moving to the window, ready to leave at any moment.
At the same time, he saw that all of the patientâs monitoring data had changed, becoming very active.
As soon as I arrive, thereâs an anomaly? Is it caused by something on me⊠There are too many possible reasons, I donât even know which one it could be⊠Lumian once again turned his gaze to the patient himself.
The patientâs fingers suddenly moved imperceptibly.
