Before boarding Public Carriage, Lumian specially spent 6 Rick to buy a copy of "Spiritism" magazine to make it look like he was going to No. 19 Schell Street to attend a gathering of Mysticism enthusiasts.

He was worried that after he came into Savoie Gang Boss Gardner·Martin's sight, he would be secretly followed for a period of time to confirm whether there was any problem.

Although he can take some anti-tracking measures to try to get rid of possible tracking, isn't this more suspicious?

In comparison, a country boy who just came to Trier and stepped into the extraordinary Pathway by chance was eager for more Mysticism knowledge, so he bought magazines such as "Spiritism" and participated in various Mysticism Enthusiasts' Gathering published there from time to time. This is a more convincing story.

In essence, this is indeed true.

The only problem is that the convener of Mysticism Enthusiasts' Gathering is Mr. K, and there is an organization Concealment behind this person.

The people of Gardner·Martin have really investigated to this point, let them have a fight with Mr. K to see who is more powerful!

As the prankster of Cordou Village, Lumian has always loved watching the fun.

At that time, he will adjust his choices based on the outcome of the battle. Anyway, the general direction will not change, which is to follow the instructions of "Magician" Lady and infiltrate the Concealment organization behind Mr. K.

On the driving carriage, Lumian flipped through the magazine "Spiritism" in his hand.

The theme of this issue is "Mysticism".

Different from Lumian's instinctive cognition, Mysticism's "contract" does not represent "Contract", but "Attunement", through some kind of The method is to let one's own spirit and specific Hidden Being a little bit Attunement, obtain corresponding Spirit Body experience, and obtain certain Mysticism knowledge.

"Spiritism" magazine has emphasized in the "Editor's Note" of many articles that this is a very dangerous behavior. Unless it is certain that the target of Mysticism can Trust and does not have any malicious intent, it is not recommended to try it. If you try, it will bring very Vile and very serious consequences, including but not limited to suffering from mental illness, being possessed by Evil Spirit, losing Rationality, death on the spot, Personality Mutation etc.

"So that's it..." Lumian instantly understood some of the content in Aurora's Witchcraft Notes.

He originally studied those paragraphs from the perspective of "Contract" but couldn't understand them. Now after changing his mind, he probably understands what he is talking about.

Lumian lowered his head and looked at the magazine "Spiritism" in his hand, and said two words of praise in his heart:

"It's more useful than I thought. I thought it was all made up to deceive Mysticism fans.

"Well, although there are a lot of common sense Error, it doesn't look like it was written by someone who has really entered the extraordinary world and done a lot of research, but the explanations of some concepts are still quite good, very close to the correct answers, and some of them can even give me some inspiration..."

Amidst the praise, he muttered:

"Judging from the fact that Mr. K lives in the Underground area of the "Spiritism" magazine headquarters building, it seems unlikely that Beyonder really exists among the editorial offices and contributors of these Mysticism magazines, right?

"They first wrote a correct article and then deliberately corrected many concepts and common sense in it?"

As the thought passed by, Lumian secretly hissed:

"From this perspective, the articles in this issue combined with the editor's note are not teaching the correct Mysticism Ritual, but are warning some people who try Mysticism randomly!

"No, it's not necessarily random, it's more likely to be deliberately guided by some people with malicious intentions...

"There have been several accidents involving Mysticism?"

At this moment, Lumian looked at the "Spiritism" magazine in his hand and no longer paid attention to the specific Vocabulary.

He even felt that it was full of warnings written in bloody words:

"Stop! Don't hold any more Mysticism Ritual!"

Mysticism World is really full of danger...Lumian closed his eyes and sighed sincerely.

The longer he stayed in the Mysticism field, the more he realized the helplessness and struggle of Older Sister.

He closed the "Spiritism" which was two Rick cheaper than the normal magazine, and cast his gaze out of the carriage window.

After arriving at Boulevard District Schell Street, Lumian performed a counter-tracking as normal to demonstrate the instinct of "Hunter".

Then, he entered the headquarters of "Spiritism" Magazine Agency and knocked on the door of Room 103 in a rhythm of three long, two short and one long.

Like last time, he was led to Basement and met Mr. K.

Mr. K is still wearing a black Robe with a huge Hood, and his face is completely covered by shadows.

Sitting on Red-Backed Chair, he stared at Lumian for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "What happened this time?"

"Mr. K, I have completed the task you gave me and became the leader of Market District Savoie Gang, responsible for managing Breeze Ballroom and Golden Rooster Inn." Lumian said with a smile.

Mr. K nodded gently:

"Very good, I also like the way you do things.

"Next, what you need to do is to gain Gardner·Martin's trust and let him truly recognize you."

This time, Mr. K did not mention the two terms "remuneration" and "task" Vocabulary. He gave the order directly and seemed to regard Lumian as his subordinate.

Obtain Boss's trust? Lumian was stunned for a moment, and then strong doubts and uneasiness emerged:

He remembered clearly that when Mr. K gave the task, he did not specify that he should join Savoie Gang, but instead used "any" to modify Gang!

But now, the follow-up is really recognized by Boss of Savoie Gang!

"If I had not chosen Baron Brignais, but chosen another Gang, what kind of mission would Mr. K give me today?

"In other words, he is very sure that I will join Savoie Gang?

"Why is he so sure?"

Thoughts popped up in Lumian's mind, reminding him of some recent events:

"I just killed the pervert and got the bottle of poison. Baron Brignais asked me to deal with the leader of Stinger Gang, so that item came in handy...

"Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

"There are other similar things...

"I occasionally feel like someone is staring at me in the shadows around me, but I don't notice anything...

"Could it be that all this was arranged by Mr. K?

"If I didn't choose Savoie Gang, I would be 'arranged' into Savoie Gang after several events?"

Lumian The more I think about it, the more creepy it becomes.

When he looked at Mr. K again, he lost the mentality of treating the other party as someone to be harvested.

Except for "Magician" Lady and a few others, this may be the strongest Beyonder he has ever encountered!

Let him do things according to the other person's wishes without even realizing it!

As his thoughts flashed, Lumian lowered his head and said, "Yes, Mr. K."

He assumed the posture of a subordinate.

At the same time, he thought of "Red Boots" Franca.

This member of the Concealment organization "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" has both background and strength, but he wants to be mixed up in a Gang and be the mistress of Boss. Obviously, he has other purposes.

Her goal is also to get close to Gardner·Martin? Is this person involved in something very important, or involved in a very key secret? Lumian tried to make a guess.

Mr. K nodded as if satisfied:

"I'm glad you can understand your position. Don't worry, I will never be stingy with rewards.

"Have you not been to any Church to pray recently?"

He changed the subject.

"I am a wanted criminal!" Lumian remembered the instructions of "Magician" Lady and said angrily, "Besides, those Deity will not save us at all!"

Mr. K chuckled and said, "It's not that they won't, it's that they can't. Their power cannot cover all believers and provide help for everyone Calamity encounters.

"There are many reasons for this, but in summary there is only one:

"Weakness is the original sin.

"Are you interested in knowing about the Lord I believe in? He represents the reality of this world, He is supreme, His grace is like the sea, He creates everything, He destroys everything, He is the power itself, and we are ourselves."

Seeing Lumian being silent for a moment, Mr. K did not force:

"You don't need to answer me now. Take this time to think about who can save us and who can provide us with shelter in this increasingly dangerous and crazy world.

"When you are sure to believe in Him, you will truly become one of us. It won't take long before your strength will be greatly improved."

"I will think about it carefully." Lumian replied in a low voice.

Mr. K then asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Lumian, who had adjusted his mentality, asked without losing anything by asking, "In the process of completing the task, if I encounter danger, can I use your finger? How should I use it?"

Mr. K said as if nodding, "Just take it out."

The implication is that it can be used.

"If I use it, how will I face the threat of Suzanne Matisse?" Lumian asked further.

Mr. K was silent for a few seconds:

"After you use that finger, come here and find me, and I'll give you another one."

Your fingers are indeed consumables... Lumian thought for a moment and then said, "I sold Beyonder Characteristic of 'Hammer' Ait to Gardner·Martin, I exchanged it for 18,000 Felkine. I want to buy a Sealed Artifact that can increase my Mysticism's abilities, or one that can help me disguise myself better. I wonder if you have Mr. K here?"

Mr. K didn't reply in the letter, as if he was thinking about the appropriate choice.

After a while, he said to Lumian, "Thursday night next week, you come here to choose."

Lumian smiled:

"Thank you, Mr. K."

It feels really good to be backed by an organization, even if I'm just an informal member now.

Returning to Honest Market District, Lumian first placed Mr. K's finger on Room 207, Golden Rooster Inn, then went to Breeze Ballroom, intending to find a clean room there and summon "Magician"Lady's Messenger, report the progress of the task to her to see if she will provide some useful feedback, for example, how Mr. K made those things happen in a more coincidental way.
