I tried Lumian successfully for the second time and finished Ritual. I packed up Wooden Table, took out Witchcraft Notes from Aurora, and started reading the corresponding parts with the light of Carbide Lamp.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, he suddenly had a premonition, raised his head, and cast his gaze towards the window.

There lay quietly a piece of folded letter paper.

"So fast?" Lumian reached out his hand in surprise and took the letter.

Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society Vice President"Hella"'s reply came earlier than he expected.

Lumian unfolded the letter paper and browsed through the highly decorative Vocabulary:

"I'm sorry to hear this news. I had a bad feeling since 'Muggle' was absent from the party last month.

"There are too many dangers in this world. Sometimes, we can't avoid them if we want to, unless we can control all the people around us.

"If you are willing, you can tell me about the misfortune encountered by 'Muggle'. It doesn't need to be very detailed, just give the general situation...

"Judging from the fact that you can summon me Messenger, you should have also entered the path of transcendence. I don't know if you Older Sister have told you that this means you will always be with danger and madness, but it is necessary to remind you that restraint and caution are our best friends.

"After that, if you have any questions on Mysticism, you can write to me and ask me. Although I am not known for being knowledgeable, I can still answer many questions.

"'Muggle' and I have only met twice in the past year, mainly to discuss various things in the extraordinary realm. What impressed me deeply is that she mentioned that one of her friends was affected by a weird Dream, and she hoped to find a solution. If necessary, she would like to ask the real Psychiatrist to give treatment..."

Lumian quietly read the reply from "Hella", and the muscles on his face seemed to stretch like Distortion.

Aurora is really looking for a solution to his strange dream!

Lumian calmed down and thought about how to reply.

At this moment, he suddenly froze.

His brows gradually furrowed and he whispered to himself, "What Aurora said to 'Hella' is to invite the real Psychiatrist..."

"Combined with the description of 'Susie' Lady, the real Psychiatrist should refer to a certain Sequence of 'Spectator' Pathway...

"Only Beyonder, who is good at this field, can stop me from dreaming about the world filled with Gray Fog..."

There is nothing wrong with this matter in itself. The problem is:

Aurora's Witchcraft Notes only has Sequence 9"Spectator" for Pathway's Recording!

And she obviously knows "Psychiatrist"!

Lumian immediately remembered the two conversations in the dream;

First, Aurora said that he would find the real Hypnotist for him;

Second, Aurora mentioned that she knows all Sequence 9 and Sequence 8 of Pathway, and has a certain understanding of them.

"Psychiatrist is often associated with hypnosis. 'Hypnotist' is most likely also a Sequence of 'Spectator' Pathway, and may even be higher than 'Psychiatrist'...

"Aurora does not record 'Spectator' Pathway on Witchcraft Notes corresponding to Sequence 8, Sequence 7..." Lumian's expression became quite solemn, with a little Distortion excitement.

After many days, he finally found a problem in Witchcraft Notes of Aurora!

Before, he actually had some doubts about this matter, but he was not sure if there was really some kind of abnormality hidden there. After all, the Aurora in his dream was a character who was a combination of his own memory and impression under the influence of Soul Fragments. Every word he said was not necessarily true or perfect. It was normal that no exceptions were specifically mentioned.

Now, the reply from "Hella" has confirmed from the side that Aurora really knows one or several Sequence behind "Spectator" Pathway, and has a certain understanding of the corresponding abilities.

"Why didn't Aurora write down this knowledge in Witchcraft Notes? What secret is hidden behind this abnormal phenomenon?" Lumian took out a White Paper and considered the sentence with both sadness and excitement.

In less than a minute, he wrote, "Dear 'Hella'Lady:

"Here's the thing...

"I have no way of knowing the real situation because I lost part of my memory in that Calamity.

"I would be extremely grateful if you could help me keep an eye on the whereabouts of Guillaume·Béné, Pualis·De Roquefort and others. Their appearance characteristics can be obtained directly from Official Wanted Notice.

"One last question, I wonder which real Psychiatrist did 'Muggle' want to invite?"

Lumian briefly mentioned the matter of Cordou Village in the letter. He did not mention Dream, nor did he mention Loop. He did not mention how he was rescued. He only mentioned Parish Priest in a guessing tone. Guillaume·Béné, under the guidance of someone, believed in Evil God, expelled Madame Pualis who followed another Evil God, and then tried to hold a Ritual event with the whole village as Sacrifice. At the critical moment, "" was selected as the container Muggle" pushed away another important Sacrifice, that is, Lumian himself, causing Ritual to fail, Cordou Village became Ruins, and finally Official Beyonder received Request for Help and did the corresponding cleanup.

Lumian once again arranged Altar, summoned the silver skull, and handed the letter to it.

Similarly, within a quarter of an hour, he received the second reply from "Hella".

Regardless of comparing the enthusiasm of "Magician" Lady and "Hella" Lady's replies, Lumian quickly read the content of the original letter:

"I can feel your sadness, and I can understand your desire to investigate the truth and find the murderer to get revenge.

"I am friends with 'Muggle', and I will help you within the scope of my ability, including but not limited to identifying those people.

"In this matter, I can also provide you with a new idea for investigation. As far as I know, the parents and other family members of 'Muggle' should still be alive in this world. She stayed away from them for some reasons and did not dare to return to Trier. I am not sure whether they have any problems or whether they have come into contact with Evil God believers.

"I don't know which 'Psychiatrist' 'Muggle' was looking for at that time. Within our organization, there are many real 'Psychiatrist's, and many of the gatherings that 'Muggle' and I attended did not overlap. I will help you ask the members who have interacted with her to see if you can get the answer you want...

"Until this matter is investigated clearly, I will conceal the news that 'Muggle' has passed away for you..."

"If you move later, remember to summon my Messenger again, in case I can't contact you after getting the corresponding information..."

Lumian After reading it, he was silent for a long time and breathed out slowly.

He initially imagined that "Hella" Lady would invite him to join Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society and take Aurora's position, so that he could better investigate who Aurora was. I wanted to invite "Psychiatrist", but now it seems that that organization is very cautious about recruiting new members, and may even have to meet certain characteristics to be eligible to be assessed, such as "Homeland" mentioned by Aurora.

"Yes m•hetushu•com•com Xu'Hella'Lady is now observing me and assessing me..." Lumian comforted himself, sat down again, and continued to study Witchcraft Notes of Aurora.

As for Aurora's original family, he has no clue.

Wednesday 7:50 pm, White Coat Street 20.

Lumian, wearing a gray-blue Worker Uniform and a dark blue almost black Flat Cap, knocked on the door of Aosta·Special Roul.

Wearing Black Robe and wearing Hood, Aosta opened Wooden Door, glanced left and right, and said with a smile, "You are more punctual than I thought."

"I also keep my promise better than you think." Lumian walked into the room, took out Banknotes and Coins worth 80 Felkine, and handed them to Aosta.

Aosta After taking it, he counted it twice and smiled even happier.

As he led Lumian downstairs to Apartment, he said nonchalantly, "Market District has been a bit chaotic these days. Baron Brignais didn't even come to me to ask for money."

"The leader Gang is dead." Lumian said casually.

Aosta suddenly realized it, and then said with regret, "Why didn't you die as Baron Brignais?"

"Baron Brignais is dead, there are Guillaume Baron, Pierre Baron, as long as Savoie Gang is still there, you will have to pay back the loan shark you owe." Lumian said in a mocking tone.

Aosta's expression suddenly fell.

Not long after, he took Lumian on a Public Carriage, and each spent 30 Kopek to find a seat in the car.

It took nearly an hour, Public Carriage arrived from Honest Market District on the south bank of the Serenzo River to Boulevard District on the north bank of the Serenzo River, which is District 8.

This is the heart of the entire Republic of Intis. The Palace of Brotherhood where the president has his office, the Grand Palace where Emperor Roselle lived before, and various newspaper offices are all here, surrounded by high-end residential buildings.

Lumian I have seen in the newspaper before that the average rent in this area is 4000 Felkine per year, which is about 74 Felkine per week, and the expensive ones can even reach tens of thousands.

"Mr. K is calling a gathering for everyone at Boulevard District?" Seeing that there was no one on Public Carriage, Lumian asked Aosta in a low voice.

Aosta smiled and said, "Always.

"The headquarters of magazines "Spiritism" and "Esoterica" are also in Boulevard District."

You all know Concealment... Lumian turned his attention to the spacious and flat avenue outside the window, the neatly arranged Intis Plane Trees on the street, and the elegant and light-colored buildings behind.

When it was almost 8:50, Aosta took Lumian into No. 19 Schell Street's six-story luxury house Ivory.

"This is the headquarters of "Spiritism"Magazine Agency, but they only own the top three floors." Aosta did not go upstairs, but turned to the right corridor on the ground floor.

It was only then that he said to Lumian:

"Mr. K wants to meet you in advance."

"Okay." Lumian lowered his head and pressed his hat, wondering what he was busy with.

Aosta then took out a piece of Iron-Colored Mask and said with a smile, "It's time to disguise yourself. You can't let everyone see your true appearance."

The next second, Lumian raised his head.

His face was covered with layers of white Bandage, with only his eyes, nostrils and ears exposed.

Seeing this scene, Aosta's heart almost stopped beating.
