Lumian looked around quickly and saw only a few scattered gas street lamps and the burning red flames. There were crowds of people in the distance, and no one dared to approach. The part in the front was still open due to the stimulation of the "sun".
Don't open your eyes.
In such a scene, neither the man suspected of being "Loki" nor the "passerby" who sang the aria could be traced.
"You were raised by a sow, and you're running away now?" Lumian was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but cursed.
They ran away without even having a real fight?
Missing a hit and immediately disengaging?
"Ten, are you born in the year of the rat? Not only are you slippery, but if there is any disturbance, you will run away and lose sight of anyone!"
Franka moved closer to Lumian while cursing in strange words that seemed to have been forcedly translated, "Extraordinaries of the diviner and thief paths are indeed interchangeable adjacent paths, and their styles are also
Too similar, right?”
This is mainly reflected in the fact that the main body cannot be defeated and the true master cannot be caught.
The difference is that the "divineer" path has been like this since Sequence 7, while the "thief" path may have to wait until the door of divinity is opened and promoted to Sequence 4.
Lumian's mind was spinning with thoughts, thinking about how to find out the traces of "Loki" and his marionette.
They may have left, or they may still be lurking on the streets in the evening!
"Secret Puppet...
"Yes, the Marionette who sang the aria took over my "Hum Ha Technique" without being affected, but it was not affected. This means that he is most likely dead and does not have an active, awake spirit body...
"My experience of almost being turned into a puppet just now indirectly confirmed this...
"Since Secret Puppet is the deceased, then he should not have the fate of a living person. There is no so-called destiny. Even if there is, it will be fixed in darkness, which represents death...
"If you can't find 'Loki' who has the ability of 'Faceless Man', you can start with his marionette!"
Thinking of this, Lumian concentrated his energy and carefully observed the fortunes of the citizens ten or twenty meters away.
He swept past everything that had its own destiny and was not completely dark.
After a quick browse, Lumian found no target suspected of being a marionette.
He sighed slowly, disappointedly.
"Let's get out of here first. The firefighters putting out the fire are coming soon, and the official Beyonders should be on their way too. Franka reminded Lumian.
Lumian withdrew his gaze, turned around and left the chaotic street before the red flames went out.
He planned to make a half circle and then return to the Golden Rooster Hotel, hand over the defrauded money recovered from the "Different" Cabaret and Dance Hall to the bankrupt businessman Fitz, and take away his own share according to the agreed ratio.
After walking for more than ten steps, Lumian's mind suddenly flashed into Mr. Ruhl's death from the disease, and Mrs. Michel's hanging while singing the song of Happy City.
He was worried that he would bring a disaster involving extraordinary power to the Golden Rooster Hotel and bring it to the client, Fitz.
Aurore has portrayed very vicious and perverted criminals in two of her novels. They like to start killing people they care about, and let them watch their friends around them die tragically one after another.
As the leader of "April Fool's Day", "Loki" likes to play with other people's minds and has no psychological barriers to harming his companions, let alone killing innocent people he has never met before. Therefore, he failed in the first attack
There is a high probability of starting with Lumian's acquaintances, using their deaths to break the target's spirit, secretly watching him lose his mind and become crazy, and then use this opportunity to harvest lives.
Although this was only a possibility, Lumian didn't want to take the chance, so he stopped and turned onto Market Avenue.
"What's wrong?" Franka asked confused.
Lumian had initially calmed down and said with a smile: "Go to the Breeze Ballroom for a drink."
If the gang members you often come into contact with die, they will die. To be a gangster, you must have this kind of consciousness!
Franka was stunned for a moment, and roughly understood Lumian's worries:
Because he caught a big fish but failed to capture it, "Loki" has obviously mastered the true appearance of the two of them. He can always hide in the dark and wait for the right opportunity to come. Lumian and herself must give up the current situation.
Identity, comprehensive use of anti-divination and anti-tracking abilities, and find another place to survive, otherwise you will inevitably fall into a state of random guessing when you see rats around you and think they will attack you.
Compared with the crowded Golden Rooster Hotel, the second floor of the Breeze Ballroom is relatively clean and more conducive to preparedness.
Moreover, once a battle breaks out on an extraordinary level, it is better to affect gang members than ordinary people.
I also went back to change my clothes." Franka's subtext was that she also wanted to change her appearance and hide in a dark place so that "Loki" could not find her to avoid possible attacks.
Likewise, she will let Jenna go back to live with her brother for a while to avoid being affected.
Facing such a strange and terrifying enemy, the "Instigator"'s ability to survive is still too weak.
Lumian patted Franka's "mirror stand-in" hidden on the inside of her clothes with her right hand, telling her to always pay attention to each other's rough conditions.
Franka nodded solemnly to show that she knew.
Breeze Ballroom, Cafe on the second floor.
Lumian sat in the innermost position away from the window and said to his bodyguard Sakota:
"Go to the Golden Rooster Hotel and call a bankrupt businessman named Fitz.
With such a transfer, Fitz seems to have achieved his goal with the help of the Savoy Party, and has no personal relationship with Charles Dubois. If "Loki" really chooses a victim, he will definitely be affiliated with Lumi
Members of the Anti-Savoie Party.
Lumian was stroking the heavy satchel on his lap, waiting for Fitz to arrive, while thinking about issues related to "Loki".
With no trace of the "April Fool's Day" leader, he could only look for clues from certain phenomena in the incident.
One of the details is the option that Lumian had preset before taking action:
“If ‘Rocky’ was really caught, why could we rely on anti-tracking techniques to get rid of the April Fool’s leader last time, but not this time?
After Lumian left the "Different" dance hall, he deliberately completed the entire anti-tracking process like last time, and changed back to his original appearance, changed his clothes, and modified his bag, waiting until he walked through the old street again
, rendezvous with Franka, but no longer counter-tracking, in order to set up a sample for comparison and find out the differences.
Otherwise, if he failed to catch the weird and hard-to-kill "Loki", wouldn't he be "fishing" in vain?
There has to be something else to gain!
This is a small trap hidden in a big trap.
"According to normal logic, since my last anti-tracking process was able to get rid of Loki, this time should be no exception. After all, I not only paid attention to the people and animals around me, but also avoided the birds in the sky.
Even if there is a bug that becomes Loki's puppet, it will be thrown away because it can't keep up with my speed...
"So, either Franka was targeted early on, or I was recognized by "Rocky" when I walked through the old streets again after completing the counter-tracking.
"Franka did counter-divination in a place far away from the 'Alone' bar and the 'Different' dance hall. She didn't even enter the old street. She used non-occult methods to observe. It's unlikely to happen soon.
It will be exposed unless 'Loki'
I knew there would be such an observer from the beginning...
"The most likely possibility is that I was recognized when I was walking through the old street, but how did he recognize me? Not only did I change back to my original appearance and change my clothes, but in order not to be suspected, I chose to pass by in a taxi.
, according to Anthony, this allows people outside to see my unchanged leather shoes, and it can also hide my habitual walking posture and body language...
I even sprinkled on some perfume to cover up the original smell...
"What unchangeable characteristics do I have that allow 'Loki' to recognize me in a short time?"
Lumian compared the differences before and after and gradually came up with some guesses:
"Either the Puppet Master or one of his marionettes can directly identify a person from the level of soul, consciousness, etc., or Loki can discover the characteristics of me that are different from others, the angel of fate, the seal of Mr. Fool, or
The aura of 'Blood Emperor'?
"Although "Lie" is also from the "Soothsayer" path, the sequence level corresponding to it and "Loki" does not have an obvious and intuitive cohesion...
The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that the reason was that "Loki" had a way to see through his disguise, but his tracking ability was limited, and he would be thrown away by targets who were wary of strangers, animals, birds, and bugs, and who couldn't directly divine.
No matter what method "Loki" relied on to find out, this is the reason that best explains the comparison between the before and after situations.
For this reason, Lumian had a new idea.
He glanced at the already dark night sky, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Another quarter of an hour later, the bankrupt businessman Fitz was brought into the cafe by Sakota.
Lumian signaled Sakota to leave here temporarily, and then said to Fitz:
"I've got the money back, how much do you think you can divide it with?"
As he spoke, he poured the banknotes, gold and jewelry on the table, glanced at them a few times and said:
"The total is about 130,000 ferkin.
Fitz blurted out:
"60,000, no, 50,000, no, just give me 30,000 ferkin."
Lumian smiled, took out a few bundles of tied bills, and threw them to Fitz:
“According to the previous agreement, the interest will be mine and I will get 50% of the principal.
"Here is 50,000 ferkin.
Fitz took it in surprise and thanked him profusely.
Although he failed to get the full amount, 50,000 ferkin was enough for him to start a new life full of hope.
The remuneration of 50% of principal plus interest is so worth it!
Lumian felt equally happy. Through the actions of the "Angel of Time" next to Mr. "Fool", he easily earned 50,000 Feirkin notes and 30,000 worth of gold.
You know, he worked so hard to raise gold, but in the end he only had 75,000.
He seriously considered whether to buy some sacrifices in the corresponding fields to thank Mr. Fool and the "Angel of Time".
After waiting for more than half an hour, Lumian entered the bedroom also located on the second floor, threw off his satchel, and used "lie" to change his appearance again, like a black-haired, brown-eyed version of Aurore who was more masculine.
He put on his shirt, vest, trousers and leather boots, took off the "Lie", transferred the "torture" gloves into his briefcase, and looked at the situation outside the window.
After confirming that there were no humans, rats or birds, Lumian opened the window and jumped down lightly, as if he didn't know that "Loki" could directly see through his disguise.
