Chapter 99 Countermeasures

Is Susanna Matisse's attack coming? Considering that Charlie has no other enemies and has been working as a waiter at the Breeze Ballroom recently, and will not go to any dangerous places, Lumian quickly made a clear guess in his mind.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Charlie will be very unlucky and encounter other accidents recently, but Lumian feels that in similar matters, one must not take chances.

While putting down the tray and waiting, Charlie felt a little uneasy when Lumian looked at him.

He remembered the other party's miraculous "prophecy" ability, and quickly approached him, lowering his voice and asking: "Did you see anything?"

Lumian smiled: "I see that you will have a romantic encounter recently and will have a relationship with a beautiful girl that goes beyond friendship."

"Really?" Charlie was surprised and happy.

The girl’s name is Suzanne Matisse…

Lumian took back this sentence and laughed: "You are too easy to deceive, right? Do you believe this?"

"I knew..." Charlie looked disappointed.

The existence of the Fool's Instrument made him have no doubt about Ciel's ability to deceive people.

Watching Charlie walk towards the edge of the dance floor carrying a tray filled with wine glasses, the smile on Lumian's face faded little by little.

His thoughts were spinning, and one thought after another flashed through his mind: "Am I too unlucky, or is it destiny? It seems that the official extraordinary people will pay attention to Mr. Ev and the old Pigeon Cage Theater tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and those evil spirits who believe in the "Mother Tree of Desire" will

The believers arrested all of them, found out the whereabouts of the evil spirit Susanna Matisse, and purified her completely. As a result, Susanna Matisse may attack me and Charlie again today..." Fuck, Thermia raised by sows

Boros, it must be him who did the bad thing!

"Based on my previous experience in observing fortunes, problems will break out at the earliest late at night today and at the latest at midnight the day after tomorrow...

"We cannot place all our hopes on Susanna Mattis coming to Charlie and me the day after tomorrow. We must deal with the worst development..."

Lumian, who was infected by Franka and Jenna's swear words at some point, forcibly calmed down and made a calm judgment on the situation.

At the same time, he had preliminary countermeasures: first, hide his identity to remind Charlie and ask him to go to the nearest Eternal Sun Church tonight and stay there for three days;

Second, go to Baidaotao Street to find Franka and ask for her help.

With Franka and Mr. K's fingers as the backing, Lumian believed that he was very confident that he could withstand Susanna Matisse's first round of attacks, and after that, she would not have another chance, no matter Franka

Ka's reminder to the official Beyonders through secret channels, or Charlie's performance of going to the church to seek protection, are enough to tell the "Eternal Sun" Church that Susanna Matisse has appeared again!

Although with Mr. K’s finger, Lumian has a lot of hope of dealing with Susanna Matisse on his own, but since he already owes Franca a favor, why not owe him a little more to make things more complicated?

Are you sure?

Without any reason, Lumian drank the remaining absinthe in one gulp, stood up and left the Breeze Ballroom.

He returned to Room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel, took out his "Peeping Glasses" and put them on the bridge of his nose.

The world is spinning again, falling to the ground again, the huge brown-green root system, the insects everywhere and the mice huddled in different places...

Just when Lumian was about to take off his glasses and start putting on makeup, he saw a clump of long green hair with vines and branches.

boom!

Lumian's head seemed to have been hit, and little golden stars appeared one after another in front of his eyes.

He quickly took off the "peeping glasses" from his face, lowered his head, and retched for several seconds.

After doing all this, before the urge to draw something disappeared, he took out his makeup tools and applied different things to his face.

Inside the dark glass window, Lumian felt more and more strange to himself, like the kind of slovenly drunkard who often drank bad wine in dance halls.

After finishing the last bit of the painting, he quickly looked away, not daring to look again for fear of cognitive impairment.

Phew... Putting away the makeup tools, Lumian exhaled and filtered through the scenes he saw after putting on the "Peeping Glasses" in his mind.

The long turquoise hair with vines and branches looked particularly familiar to him, and he quickly made an association: Susanna Matisse also had long turquoise hair. They were connected with the branches and vines that spread out from nowhere.

Together!

"Suzanne Matisse's territory is somewhere underground in the market area?" Lumian made a preliminary judgment.

He couldn't help but complain: "Why is it underground again?"

Isn’t the underground of Trier too lively?

However, this can also explain why the official Beyonders failed to completely purify Susanna Matisse last time. Monsters involving the underground are always difficult to eradicate, just like the ghost of Montsuri.

Lumian remembered that the real Mr. Ev had been to Trier underground late at night, and recalled that the perverted Hudsey had taken Jenna to a certain hole in the underground after she was unconscious. He seemed to be very familiar with that area and very knowledgeable about it.

sense of security.

This made him convinced that Susanna Matisse was really hiding somewhere underground in Trier, and that it was not too far away from the hole chosen by Herdsey.

Is this the end of the road that leads deeper into the underground? Lumian guessed as he changed his clothes and left room 207 in a weird mix of simple formal wear and canvas trousers.

Inside the Breeze Ballroom.

Lumian looked around and found Charlie serving drinks to the guests on the edge of the dance floor.

He moved closer, and when he passed by Charlie, he lowered his voice and said, "Suzanne Matisse."

Jenna's singing, roaring music and noisy voices could not cover up the name, which made Charlie freeze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

Lumian then started to remind in a low voice: "I have received information that Susanna Matisse will appear again within these three days. If you don't want to die, go to the church tonight and come out again in three days."

Charlie's first reaction was panic, his second reaction was to look for Charles, and his third reaction was "Will I be fired directly if I take three days off?"

Not finding Charles, he swallowed hard and asked in a low voice, "Really?"

You don't have to believe it... Lumian controlled his habitual answers to prevent Charlie from making certain associations.

He kept his voice low and said: "If you go to church tonight, someone will tell you whether it is true or false."

Charlie could no longer restrain the fear in his heart. He looked at this unfamiliar face and asked with a slight trembling: "Who are you?"

Why did you go out of your way to remind me?

"A kind-hearted person." Lumian responded with a phrase that his sister occasionally used when joking.

He said no more, passed Charlie, squeezed into the dance floor, and quickly disappeared from Charlie's sight.

Charlie seemed to have encountered a cold winter, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

During this time, he would occasionally recall the beauty, tenderness and passion of Susanna Matisse in his dreams, but every time he would be frightened and lose his desire by the memories of tree tumors, flowers, mucus, etc. Now, the monster is coming back.

Got it!

Go to St. Robles Church now! Charlie just took the tray, walked a few steps towards the door, and stopped again.

He remembered that it was already late at night and there must be very few pedestrians on Market Avenue.

That kind of environment is much more dangerous than the bustling Breeze Dance Hall!

"Suzanne Matisse comes to my dreams every time. Otherwise, in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, I am in the ballroom with so many people watching. She will definitely not dare to show up... Please wait until Charles comes back.

He sent me to St. Robles Church..." Charlie looked back at the door and decided to wait a little longer.

The dance hall, filled with all kinds of sounds and tastes, gave him a certain sense of security.

No. 13, Baiyi Street.

Lumian, who had finished taking off his makeup, knocked on Franka's door.

Franka had already loosened her ponytail, letting her long flaxen hair fall naturally, but tonight she was not wearing a nightgown, but a women's pajamas and pajamas made of cotton.

Wearing a pair of cool summer slippers, she turned her body sideways to let Lumian enter the room, and asked doubtfully: "Are you here to ask for mystical knowledge tonight?"

She and Lumian had been separated for less than two hours, and it seemed like there was nothing else going on.

After Franka closed the door, Lumian said seriously: "There is something going on over there with Charlie. I suspect that Susanna Matisse will appear again in the next two days, and there is a certain probability that it will be late tonight.

"So fast?" Franka did not hide her surprise.

He didn't even have time to convey the questions about Susanna Matisse, Mr. Eve and the old theater to "007"!

Lumian nodded: "Although it is difficult for me to accept it, all signs indicate that my speculation just now is correct."

"What are you going to do?" Franka didn't waste time discussing the possibilities.

Lumian told Franka the two countermeasures he was thinking about, but did not mention Mr. K’s finger.

Franca looked at him with a smile: "You are very calm." Didn't you tell me before that Susanna Matisse was suspected to be an evil spirit with Sequence 5 power? Even if we were tied together, we might not be able to defeat him.

she.

"Tsk, are you too confident in me or too confident in yourself?"

Lumian smiled: "Both."

"It's really not easy for you to escape from this disaster in Kordu Village." Franka sighed and looked at the wall clock in the house. "You should be fine after tonight. I'll hurry up first."

It's time to tell the official things through my channels, you wait for me in the living room."

She walked into her master bedroom, wondering what she was doing.

Lumian sat on the sofa, looked at the cuckoo wall clock hanging on the side, and counted the time silently.

Nearly two-quarters of an hour later, Franka opened the door and came out. She had already put on the tight-fitting black robe with leather armor inside and put on the hood.

"It's done, there will most likely be action tomorrow." She said to Lumian, and then asked, "Aren't you worried about Charlie encountering an accident on his way to St. Robles Church? In the dead of night, people will also encounter accidents on the roadside.

To evil spirits."

St. Robert's Church is the cathedral of the "Eternal Sun" Church in the Candide Market area, close to the Suchit Steam Railway Station. Its attached cemetery was originally located in the current Breeze Ballroom.

Lumian already had an idea: "I plan to wait for the Breeze Ballroom to close and follow him to the church secretly."

"I'm with you." Franka suddenly frowned and looked at Lumian and said, "Won't Charlie be attacked in the ballroom? Some evil spirits don't care whether there are other people around or how many there are.

people."

Because Suzanne Matisse's previous appearances did not affect anyone else, Lumian subconsciously felt that she would avoid crowded places, and the ballroom was far more crowded than a hotel.

After being reminded like this by Franka, he was shocked and said in a deep voice: "Let's rush back to the ballroom now!"
