Chapter 76: Purpose of coming (please vote for the last three days)
"Hela" still said in that obviously cold voice:
"There's no need to worry. As I said, our research association is a very loose organization. Except for a few members who have close communication in private, we only meet two to four times a year, and that's under disguise.
.
"Your sister's state in similar gatherings is relatively relaxed. It should be close to the way she and you usually get along. She just pays attention to protecting her own real-life information. You can definitely play it.
"And you will definitely be familiar with the many special words and sentences we use when communicating. With your relationship with your sister, she will not deliberately hide them in front of you or not use them."
"Yes." Lumian's mood suddenly became a little low. "She would also explain the specific meaning to me and tell me that a certain philosopher in her hometown or Emperor Russell said it."

After hearing this, "Hela" said: "If it is really possible for you to pretend to be a 'Muggle' and communicate with the members of the research association, you don't need to mention the words said by the philosopher in your hometown, just talk about the following content."
"How about adding 'Emperor Russell once said'?" Lumian discussed the details seriously.
Although he is missing key items, it is unlikely that he can truly disguise himself as Aurore, and the essence of "Nisse's Face" is an illusion. When he meets an extraordinary person with the corresponding ability, he can be seen through it at a glance - even if the other person is only Sequence 9.
The "Secret Peeper" could also see that he was not a woman, so he could not be a "Muggle", but he still hoped to work hard. Who knows if there would be a chance to obtain a "transfiguration" with less negative impact in the future.
As for the occult makeup of "Peeping Glasses", on the premise that the face must be covered at the party, it cannot give people psychological hints, and it cannot change gender, even if it is just a disguised gender change.
"Hela" was silent for a few seconds, her cheek muscles slightly fluctuating: "If you really have a chance to act, try not to add more, because you can't accurately grasp when to add and when not to do it.
"You just need to remember one thing. Other members often use the prefix 'Emperor Russell once said' to liven up the atmosphere or make everyone laugh."
Why do you feel that the image of Emperor Russell in the "Curly Baboon Research Association" is not very good... It's not not very good, more like a comedian... Speaking of which, Aurore seems to be like this, every time she is in a mood
When she was in a bad situation, as long as I deliberately said 'Emperor Russell said it', she would usually relax to a certain extent and even couldn't help but laugh... Lumian didn't quite understand the members of the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society"
mentality, but because I had to show that I didn't know their biggest secret, I didn't ask further questions.
He planned to ask Franka what happened if he remembered it later.
"Hela" continued:
"If you attend a party, just remember to listen more and speak less. If you are not sure, don't get deeply involved in various discussions. When others bring up the past, branch off when you can, be perfunctory when you can, and show that 'Muggles' are in you.
With the character and characteristics shown in front of me, I can play her well."
Lumian thought for a moment: "This is just a disguise in appearance and performance. Your research association should have no shortage of extraordinary people who are good at divination or have strong intuition. They can easily find out that I am not my sister."
"No, on the contrary, they can prove that you are really a 'Muggle'." "Hela" gave an unexpected answer from Lumian.
In his undisguised expression of astonishment and surprise, "Hela" explained in detail:
“First of all, most of us don’t understand the reality of other members, so we can’t make very effective divination or prophecy;
"Secondly, on the premise that I have a certain understanding of your sister, I used a certain item to divine her status. The result was that I couldn't determine whether she was alive or dead. It was like encountering a very powerful anti-divination."

This... Lumian was startled for a moment, and then he figured out the general reason:
According to Ms. "Magician", Aurore is not completely dead yet, and there is still a glimmer of hope for resurrection. However, her soul fragments are sealed by Mr. Fool. Normal divination cannot bypass the seal and spy on her.
Aurore's true state shows a very strong anti-divination effect.
"Hela" took another sip of triple-concentrated lime coffee:
"And the most important thing is that after I met with you today, my spiritual intuition told me that when I meet you face to face, the result of 'divination' or 'prophecy' Aurore will point to you."
What? Lumian almost blurted out a question.
Soon, he looked down at his left chest and smiled bitterly: "This may be because some of my sister's soul fragments are preserved in me in some strange way."
At this point, Lumian let out a long sigh: "What a pity..."
After listening to "Hela"'s analysis, he felt that he could really take his sister's place in the "Curly-haired Baboon Research Society" without being discovered.
He really wanted to do this, so that he could not only coordinate Franka's actions so that she didn't have to take risks alone, but also could form a cooperation, one in the open and the other in the dark, so that the person with the problem could jump out and fall into the trap on his own.
.
At the same time, Lumian can also use those gatherings to learn more about Aurore.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the "transformation technique" that can falsely change his gender and adjust his height and body shape.
After a brief silence, "Hela" repeated her promise to follow up on the "April Fool's Day" question.
Then, she said quite frankly: "I came to Trier this time to look for something deeper in the catacombs. Do you know anything about it?"
Deeper in the catacombs? Lumian was startled and proactively reminded: "It's very dangerous there."
He was grateful to Ms. "Hela" for her previous letter guidance and the suggestion just now, and told him exactly what he knew about the underground tombs and the strange phenomena he had witnessed before, and finally said:

"For some reason, I was the only one who remembered the couple. Everyone else acted as if they had never existed. Well, the tomb administrator named Kendall should also be aware of it, but he just pretended not to notice it.
."
"Hela" listened quietly, neither surprised nor stunned, and then asked: "Have you heard of the 'Fountain of the Samaritan Woman'?"
"I heard about it from a liar..." Lumian frowned, trying to remember Aosta Trull's story, "He said that the 'Samaritan woman' in the upper level of the catacombs
The spring is a fake, a puddle left by a construction error at that time, and was packaged into a legend by the administrators, but in an ancient tomb deep in the underground world, there is a real spring of forgetfulness, a spring of forgetfulness."
"Hela" did not comment on Lumian's statement, but nodded lightly and said: "Thank you."
After thanking her, she drank the remaining triple espresso, stood up, and walked towards the door of the Little Cow Cafe.
As she left her seat, the deep and quiet feeling suddenly dissipated, and the sun seemed to illuminate the area again.
Lumian sat for a while longer, drank his Macaire coffee, and then walked along the old street to Purgatory Square, intending to take a public carriage back to the market area.
After passing the "Different" Cabaret and the "Alone" Bar, Lumian suddenly heard the crisp sound of tinkling.
With a thought in his heart, he turned half sideways and looked back, just in time to see a familiar figure walking into the "Alone" bar that had just opened.
The figure was wearing a light white gauze dress, a small round hat decorated with silk flowers, two small silver bells hanging from the complex bun, and similar items on the dark boots.
Liya... Liya from the eighth round... Lumian recognized that person as Liya, the official investigator who had entered his dream.
She was originally supposed to belong to the Reston Provincial Bureau of the Eighth Bureau, but now she actually appeared in Trier and entered the "alone" bar, which was also a bit weird.
The "Different" dance hall is dangerous, and the "Alone" bar is not a stronghold used by the eighth round to monitor the opposite side, right? After looking away, Lumian continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.
Back at the Breeze Ballroom, before Lumian had time to rest, he was summoned by the boss, Gardner Martin, to No. 11, Spring Street, Memorial Hall District.
In a room lined with rows of bookshelves, Gardner Martin, wearing a light-colored shirt and dark trousers, smiled in good spirits: "I heard from Franka that you have completed your revenge?"

Lumian felt that there was a strange excitement in the boss's whole body, as if he had been so happy before that he had not completely calmed down yet.
He replied calmly:
"Yes, I have killed Guillaume Benet, thanks to the help of 'Red Boots' and Jenna, as well as the intelligence dealer I invited, Anthony Reid."
He did not hide the participants. This could not be hidden from the boss. After all, they relied on "Mouse" Christo and his pets to communicate with each other.
Gardner Martin nodded lightly and said: "Your efficiency is higher than I expected.
"Franka didn't give enough details. Please give me a general overview."
Lumian did not hide anything for the "Sinner" organization, and demonstrated the various abilities possessed by Guillaume Bennet by describing specific effects.
Gardner Martin listened carefully and asked thoughtfully: "What do you think the strength of Guillaume Benet is equivalent to?"
Lumian replied without hesitation: "Sequence 5."
Gardner Martin fell silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "I came to see you because I have a task for you."
"What mission?" Lumian did not hide his curiosity.
Gardner Martin smiled again: "It's very simple, go to the Mechanical Cafe in the Opera House District and contact a literary and art organization called 'Black Cat'."
"I don't have artistic talent." Lumian was very honest.
Gardner Martin smiled and said: "You don't need an artistic talent, you mainly act as a patron and make friends with one of the members of the 'Black Cat'.
"His ancestors had the title of earl, and he also likes to call himself that.
