Inside the off-white four-story building of the patrol team.
Camus, who had gotten rid of the influence of the playing card, saw Soou lying in a pool of blood, torn in half by two zombie-like undead creatures.
In another room, there is still a patrol member controlled by Tewanaku who is stubbornly resisting, and his other companions have been eliminated.
Camus breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he would be assassinated within the patrol team and almost die.
He looked at the deputy captain Leiaza who rushed to the scene, the middle-aged man wearing a thin black formal suit and controlling undead creatures, and asked doubtfully:
"How did Suowu become a member of the 'Rose School'?
"How come so many team members are controlled by the 'Rose School of Thought'?"
Although Camus tried his best to fight against the playing card just now, he also heard Jenna's cry, which left a certain impression in his mind.
Reasa stared at Suowu in the pool of blood and the undead creatures in the room, thought for a few seconds and said:
"It's probably Tewanaku's fault."
Tewanaku... Camus suddenly remembered the questions that Louis Berry once asked.
Could it be that Tewanaku was responsible for the serial murders four years ago?
Is he actually a demon?
Camus couldn't help frowning and complained loudly:
"Allowing a 'living corpse' to stay in the team is a huge hidden danger in itself. Just because he is usually very restrained, you cannot doubt that he is a member of the 'Rose School of thought'. He can completely indulge again at certain times."
Reasa had a cold temperament and said in a deep voice:
"But we have confirmed that he is actually a member of the 'Temperance Sect' who defected from the 'Rose School' and believes in the 'Fool'."
"Do you believe in the 'Fool' or the 'Temperer'?" Camus asked in surprise.
He didn't expect to get such an answer.
…………
In the kingdom of night, in that ancient and dilapidated palace, in the interrogation room in the dream.
Hearing Lumian's question, "Hisoka" laughed:
"If you ask the Tarot Society for help, I can kill you!"
As the laughter echoed, the black shadow of "Hisoka" seemed to come alive, projected onto the wall, and grew curved goat horns and huge bat wings.
Lumian smelled the smell of conspiracy, and asked a little doubtfully and curiously:
"Why do you think so?"
"Hisoka" stood up, the desire to kill seemed to be solidified in his eyes:
"If you ask the 'Tarot Society' for help, they will definitely ask me to provide help and assist you in your investigation."
Having said this, the corners of "Hisoka's" mouth curled up, and he smiled extremely openly.
No longer awake in his dream, he reveals his innermost self.
Lumian raised his eyebrows:
"You're not one of the Little Arcana cards, are you?"
"Hisoka" shook his head and replied with a bright smile:
"I am a member of the Temperance Sect and a follower of Mr. Fool."
As he said this, the demon laughed heartily, pressed his hand on his chest, and bowed:
"Praise the fool!"
Seeing this scene, Lumian felt it was both absurd and funny, and at the same time he instinctively began to analyze:
"Hisoka" is actually a member of the "Temperance Faction" of the "Rose School"? A malicious demon is actually a member of the "Temperance Faction"?
From a common sense perspective, this is obviously impossible!
But this is a dream created by "Hela", and "Hisoka" is unlikely to lie unless he has special abilities.
In this case, there is only one explanation left:
He got into the "temperance group" through deception and fraud!
On the surface, he is indeed an extraordinary person in the "prisoner" path, and he behaves quite moderately. If he were just a non-core member, the "temperance faction" might not be particularly strict in examining him and might not be able to find his problems.
Well, is this why the Matanibon Patrol allowed a "prisoner" Path Beyonder to join?
This was more than four years ago. At that time, "Hisoka" was only a Sequence 8 "Madman" on the "Prisoner" pathway, not yet a mid-Sequence, and indeed could only be considered a peripheral member of the "Temperance Faction".
It is likely not to be taken seriously.
Moreover, he should have joined the "Temperance Sect" before that, when he was weaker and less eye-catching.
He later pretended that he obtained resources from the "Temperance Sect" and the attacks of the "Rose School" and was promoted. In fact, he relied on the gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire"? Where did those resources go? They were sold secretly, or were they made into
A magical item? That playing card?
Why did he mix into the "Temperance Sect" and even believe in Mr. "Fool"?
The main purpose is obviously not for resources...
I believe in Mr. Fool...
Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly had a guess:
Sneaking into the "Fool" church through some means and believing in Mr. "Fool" is the real purpose of "Hisoka"!
This is a revelation from the Heavenly Lord!
"'Hisoka's true belief is the 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun', but that Tianzun is fighting against Mr. Fool, and it can obviously also affect the 'divineer', 'apprentice' and 'thief' paths...
"'Hisoka' used a certain technique when praying. On the surface, he was praying to Mr. Fool, but what he actually received was the Heavenly Lord? In this way, he did not have the risk of hypocrisy...
"It's very possible...Ms. Magician said that if you don't follow the procedure to pray to Mr. Fool, the person who responds may not be him, but the Heavenly Lord...
"What is the purpose of Tianzun asking 'Hisoka' to do this?
"The 'Stealer'... steals... He wouldn't want to steal Mr. Fool's identity and belief bit by bit in this way, would he?
“When many believers believe in Mr. Fool from the bottom of their hearts, but equate him with Tianzun, does Tianzun also become the ‘Fool’?
"Hey, the more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes...
"It's definitely not possible to rely on 'Hisoka' alone. There should be many similar believers...
"It's amazing. If Tianzun develops his followers normally, he will be wiped out by the 'Tarot Society' if he shows any signs of it. But if his followers all believe in Mr. Fool on the surface, not only will they not be purged, but they will also be protected...
"It's so insidious..."
Lumian quickly came up with a series of reasoning and felt the terrifying oppression of the Heavenly Lord in the darkness.
If you are targeted by Him, it is very likely that you will fail inexplicably and unknowingly, and you will be finished!
With these speculations in mind, when Lumian thought back to what happened in Palos Port, he clearly understood "Hisoka's" self-confidence and why he wanted to stay and wait for the opportunity:
When I arrived in Palos Port for the first time in the Southern Continent, I had no resources, no companions, and didn't even understand the Dutan language. There was a high probability that I would ask for some help from the "Tarot Club" behind me.
As the target is not yet clear and we don’t know how long it will take to find it, it is impossible for the Major Arcana members of the "Tarot Society" to come in person. They should assign a Minor Arcana who is familiar with the Southern Continent or their own forces.
Someone from below came to help.
Under this premise, who else is better than Tewanaku Tupian, who belongs to the "Temperance Sect" of the Church of Fools, was born in Matani State, is familiar with the local situation, has a corresponding official status, and whose own strength has reached Sequence 6
More suitable and meets the requirements?
In that case, Lumian will investigate "Hisoka" together with "Hisoka", and the other party will gradually grasp the situation, find out whether there are traps, and when the traps will expire, and then seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, shock the spirit, and detonate desires.
!
Lumian thought about this development and felt that if he failed to detect "Hisoka's" malice during the investigation, the probability of dying at his hands was 100%, and he could only see it in the form of soul fragments.
With this demon fighting Thermipolos.
And "Hisoka" has been told by "Loki" that he should be prepared in advance to deal with the dangerous creatures in the seal, for example, relying on the devil of the North family, for example, relying on the identity of the favored one of the "Mother Tree of Desire".
"Fortunately, Ms. Magician has always told me that hunters can't rely on high-ranking people and organizations behind them for everything. They need to temper themselves and become familiar with plots and battles. Otherwise, I might really report to the tower as soon as I arrive at Palo Port.
Luo Hui' asked for guidance...
"That would be dangerous...
"Both my sister and Emperor Russell have said that the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Now I would like to add that the place that you think is the safest and most trustworthy may hide the greatest risk...
"This does not mean that you are no longer trustworthy, but that enemies will take advantage of this trust and sense of security.
"Well, Ms. Magician has been saying that if her orders and suggestions are weird, ignore them for now and quickly contact other major arcana cards to confirm the situation."
Lumian looked at the emotional "Hisoka" and smiled:
"If I hadn't had a special trace expert to help me, if the 'Hidden Blade' hadn't better understood the role you played, and if there hadn't been a 'psychiatrist' who had completed the profile of you, I still couldn't find the clues and direction.
I will seek help from the Tarot Society and seek a guide who is familiar with the local situation."
"Hisoka" suddenly fell silent, and after a few seconds he said:
"I can understand everything else, but why do you happen to have a special trace expert?"
Lumian laughed:
"Because it is a gift from a true God."
The longer he stayed with Ludwig, the more Lumian felt that letting such a dangerous guy escape from the church's control was not a decision that could be made by any senior member of the Church of Knowledge. It must have been inspired by the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
Of course, Lumian is not sure, because as far as he knows, the knowledge path, that is, the "reader" path, seems to be very good at prediction when it reaches a high sequence.
"Hisoka" was silent at first, and then suddenly shouted, like a wild wolf howling at the moon.
Lumian reviewed the whole thing again, and deeply realized that this revenge was a confrontation between conspiracy and conspiracy, but unfortunately, "Hisoka" did not understand his own character and style well enough, nor did he understand the people around him well enough.
The companion could only use the sea prayer ceremony and the first killing of "Loki" as reference, so there was a deviation, which led to his prediction having a high probability of coming true, but it did not come true.
Huh... Lumian took a breath and asked instead:
"Who is sabotaging the patrol team?"
PS: Updates may be unstable in the next two days because my daughter-in-law had a minor surgery on Friday and I am accompanying her. Previously, normal updates were supported by deposited manuscripts, but now the deposited manuscripts are almost gone, which is sad.
Because of this incident, I was originally going to attend Xiaoke's birthday event today, but I had no choice but to give up. Now my wife is recovering well after the surgery and will be discharged from the hospital on Monday or Tuesday. If the update is unstable, it should be updated only in these two days.
, I also ask for your understanding. Of course, I will try my best not to ask for leave, and I hope I can still update normally.
