The painting

"It sounds similar to what happened to Charlie. The only difference is that those are Women and Charlie are men...

"The strange creature suspected to be Suzanne Matisse has no gender choice, or is there another similar strange creature with a male gender?

"The greater probability is the latter possibility, because the three victims of Onette Town are all Women, and there is no male...

"Well, there is one difference between the three Women and Charlie. They are not Consort openly or secretly, while Charlie is Suzanne· Not long after Matisse prayed, Lover became Mrs. Alice... Without this incident, would Charlie be like the three victims and eventually die of weakness and sudden death due to overindulgence?

"Mrs. Alice became the victim in his place, or is this just the beginning?"

Lumian thought a lot from what That One said about the man with oil paint on his face, and made certain assumptions.

He now only hopes that the authorities will take this case seriously and not end it until Suzanne Mattis is completely purified.

As for whether the official would suspect that Charlie's friends were hiding extraordinary people because of the letter of help, Lumian was not too worried - when he wrote the letter, he deliberately obscured Charlie's personal information and situation, and even made a small mistake in an inconspicuous detail. In this way, the writer looked more like someone who had a deep hatred for Susanna Mattis, tracked her for a long time, and wanted to use Charlie's incident to lure the official to help him take revenge. Therefore, he was more concerned about Susanna Mattis's problem and lacked sufficient understanding of Charlie.

After the Participants at the party talked about Onette Town's strange case for a while, Mr. K's Waiter picked up something covered with black cloth.

Another person named Waiter will introduce:

"This is a painting from a friend of Participant.

"He himself is also Beyonder. He died mysteriously two months ago, and he painted this painting before his death."

At this time, Waiter, who was holding the painting, took off the black cloth covering the surface and displayed That One Beyonder's posthumous work.

This is a pair of Oil Painting, which is painted with various bright and intense colors to create a bizarre and hallucinatory scene:

There are green Weeds that grow to the sky, there are golden Sun hidden in the well, there are Blood-Colored rivers pouring down from high altitude, there are Black Figures that are gathered together as if they are dancing, and there are clouds spelled out by white skulls...

Just after looking at this painting for a few seconds, Lumian felt dizzy.

Another Waiter who just made the introduction continued, "This painting has a strong Mental Brand, which will affect every viewer's mind, causing varying degrees of confusion and dizziness. If you stare at it for a long time, you may even develop some mental illness.

"According to the letters and diaries left by the owner of the painting, this painting may contain some kind of truth, pointing to the nature of the world and the reality of Mysticism Source.

"This may also hide the real reason for his strange death.

"If anyone Participant wants to study it, the price can be discussed."

You still want to sell this kind of thing for money? You don't even want to give it to me! Lumian cursed and looked away.

He doesn't want to touch any of those things that hide the truth, essence, Source. According to Aurora, don't look at things that shouldn't be seen, and don't study things that shouldn't be studied.

Lumian is only interested in actual Beyonder Characteristic, Potion Formula, Mystical Item, Beyonder weapon or Mysticism knowledge that has practical value.

Obviously, most of the party members Participant did not want to spend money to buy such an ominous painting that did not know what secret it hid. In the end, Mr. K's Waiter put it away and covered it with black cloth again.

After that, the party entered a stage of free communication. Everyone casually chatted about some rumors and legends, but they tried their best to cover up and not reveal information about their true identity.

Ten Fifteen, Mr. K announced that the party was over and everyone left in batches.

When he went out, Lumian clearly felt that the convener That One was looking at him, with some sense of scrutiny.

"Will he send someone to follow me and investigate me?" Lumian suddenly had such an idea.

Not only did he not care about this, he even looked forward to it.

Now, except for occasionally summoning Messenger, there is nothing unusual about him and he can withstand any investigation!

As long as you control yourself not to contact "Magician" Lady, Lumian believes that Mr. K will soon get a nearly true report:

Charles is indeed Wild Beyonder. He lacks the necessary common sense on many things. He is suspected to be from Cordou Village and is pursuing the whereabouts of Guillaume·Béné and others. He is also wanted.

In that case, if Lumian shows off his abilities and extreme attitude, it won't be long before he may receive an invitation from Mr. K to become his Subordinate and a member of the organization behind him.

Sometimes, "inadvertently" exposing one's own weaknesses and true situation is an effective way to gain the trust of others.

In this way, Lumian and Aosta found a hidden corner in the house of No. 19 Schell Street, changed their disguises, and returned to Honest Market District.

When walking towards Messy Street, Lumian frowned in confusion.

He didn't find out who was following him.

"Is it that Mr. K hasn't planned to investigate me yet, or is it that the person following me is very skilled and has unique abilities that prevented me from noticing it at all?" Lumian changed his mind and threw the matter behind him.

Anyway, he is not afraid of investigation, unless Mr. K and Stinger Gang are in the same group.

Entering "Golden Rooster Inn", Lumian saw that it was still early, passed through the clean hall, and turned into Basement that Bar.

Before he Future had time to take stock of the situation here, he heard Charlie's energetic voice:

"Can you believe it? Three hours ago I was at Police Headquarters, accused of murder, and three hours later, I'm here drinking and singing with you!

"Lady Ladies and gentlemen, what an incredible thing I have experienced again. I bet there is no one here like me..."

The trainee Waiter once again carried the beer bottle, jumped onto the small round table, and started to give a "speech" to the Patron around him.

His short, light brown hair was messy, as if it hadn't been trimmed for several days, and there was obvious beard dregs next to his mouth.

"So soon?" Lumian thought it would take two or three days for Charlie to be released.

Charlie on the small round table spotted Lumian, waved his short arm, and said loudly to the people around him, "I will share with you an encounter that is more bizarre than a story later!"

Wearing Linen Shirt and black trousers, he jumped off the table, carrying a beer bottle, trotted to the bar, sat next to Lumian, and said to Bartender Pavar·Nissen, who was wearing a ponytail. "A glass of Absinthe! Thank you."

He immediately turned his head and said to Lumian, "I'll buy you this cup."

Lumian accepted it calmly and said with a smile, "You are in pretty good condition."

"Of course, at least I don't have to worry about being hanged. I don't want to get little attention when I'm alive, but thousands of people are watching me when I'm about to die." Charlie said happily.

Trier citizens have a hobby of watching Execution prisoners on death row.

Whenever someone is sent Gallows or Firing Squad, the streets and alleys are crowded with people.

Classical Era before Emperor Roselle even had a custom based on this hobby:

As the condemned prisoner walks from prison to Gallows, if anyone among the onlookers is willing to marry him, he will have his sentence commuted, his sentence reduced, or even acquitted.

"Is everything going on?" Lumian asked further.

Charlie took a sip of beer, glanced around, and said in a lowered voice, "I can't tell you the specific process. I signed the commitment letter and it was notarized. You don't know, oh, how magical it is..."

Charlie shut up in time and said, "The only bad thing is that I am unemployed again. My job is gone. The damn foreman thinks that I have affected Hotel's image. It doesn't matter. I will mortgage that one tomorrow." Diamond Necklace, the police officers have already paid it back to me. With that money, I can persist for a long time. If I can go to White Coat Street's Café and treat the waiters to drinks, I will definitely find a better job!"

He originally wanted to add "Let's get together then", but recalling the courage and ability shown by Charles, he silently gave up the idea.

Lumian took a sip of the Absinthe that Bartender pushed and motioned to Charlie to take a seat in an unoccupied corner.

After confirming that the environment was noisy and no one was listening, he asked, "Suzanne Matisse's problem has been solved?"

"I don't know." Charlie shook his head, "They have done a lot of things, but I can't talk about it."

"Did they promise to provide protection for a period of time?" Lumian asked thoughtfully.

Charlie replied awkwardly, "I can't talk."

Lumian laughed:

"It seems there is."

If there is no promise to provide protection, then there will be no corresponding discourse and it will not be restricted by the confidentiality agreement.

"Uh..." Charlie didn't expect Charles to guess so accurately.

Lumian then asked, "Did they tell you anything? Tell me what you can tell."

Charlie thought about it and said, "They told me, if I have that dream again, don't panic, go to the nearest Church after dawn, the Church of 'Eternal Blazing Sun', don't you know? I am now a true believer of 'Eternal Blazing Sun'!"

Lumian raised his right hand expressionlessly and drew a triangle on his chest.

"..." Charlie was silent for a moment.

After drinking with Charlie, Lumian returned to Room 207 and continued to study Witchcraft Notes from Aurora.

He finished washing up before midnight step by step, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

Lumian was awakened by a fierce knock on the door.

Who is it? He frowned, held "Fallen Mercury" in his backhand, walked to the door, and carefully opened the Wooden Door.

Outside the door is Charlie.

He was still wearing Linen Shirt, black trousers and strapless leather shoes, and his expression was pale and full of fear.

After seeing Lumian, he seemed to have found his backbone, and he could hardly control his voice and said in panic, "I dreamed about that woman again!"
