Verification

Boss? Lumian was shocked when he heard this.

He never thought that this matter would be connected with Boss Gardner·Martin, but this seems to explain some problems:

Why did that Smuggling Caravan "evaporate" out of thin air on a hidden route that has been used many times?

"Rat"Christo Why are you so anxious to seek help from yourself and others? If he simply lost a batch of goods, he would definitely confirm it repeatedly and wait for a while before he would be willing to expose his weakness and Error to his "colleagues" who may be staring at his position.

In an instant, Lumian thought of more:

"Boss Gardner·Martin is suspected of being "Hunter"Pathway's Sequence 6 or Sequence 5...

"Me and Franca who also entered the Special Mirror World, one is "Hunter" and the other is "Witch", in the same and adjacent Pathway...

"Mr. K asked me to get close to Gardner·Martin and gain his trust...

"Franca As a member of the Concealment organization 'Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society', Sequence himself is not low, and he is actually willing to be the mistress of such a Gang Boss as Gardner·Martin...

"That One Savoie Gang's Boss really has a big secret, or is involved in something big..."

The thing Boss asked Christo to bring into Trier is related to "Hunter" or "Witch" Pathway? Why did you take the risk of going underground and be discovered by the tax collectors? Why didn't Boss go get it in person outside the city? Wouldn't it be enough to let Christo send Smuggler to lead the way? That would be safer and more concealed... He knew that that thing might cause accidents and didn't want to take the risk? Lumian's eyes moved from "Rat" Christo to Franca's face.

This "Witch" didn't seem to expect to get such an answer. He was also a little stunned and surprised, and then a little excitement and joy emerged.

She stared at "Rat" Christo and sneered:

"You fucking want to lie to me? How come I didn't know that Gardner asked you to get something into Trier?

"Where's that thing?"

Excitement... joy...Lumian is increasingly certain that the purpose of Franca joining Savoie Gang and getting closer to Gardner·Martin is not simple.

Christo forced a smile and said, "It is packed in an iron box and I have sent it to Springwater Street.

"Boss I probably haven't had time to tell you yet."

As a senior member of Savoie Gang, he knew that "Red Boots" and Franca were powerful, and it would be easy to kill him without any helpers. Moreover, she was also proficient in Divination and could distinguish Lie.

"You better not lie to me!" Franca retracted his body, took out Vanity Mirror, and started making Divination in front of "Rat" Christo.

Lumian stood up very cooperatively, walked to Christo, reached out and held his shoulder.

After Franca confirmed that what Christo said was true, Lumian smiled and patted the "Rat":

"If something similar happens again, remember to remind me that there is something wrong with the goods and I need to be prepared for possible accidents.

"Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces and feed them to your dear little ones."

He heard Louis mention, "Rat" Christo raised many animals, and his favorite was dogs.

Christo, who was threatened, felt angry in his heart:

Franca is the mistress of Boss, and she is stronger than me. I can accept her treating me like this. Why are you a fucking newcomer?

Thinking of "Evil Wolf" Margot and "Hammer" Ait who were no weaker than him, Christo wilted again, put on a smile and said, "This time it was Boss who asked me to keep it a secret."

"You bitch, you should at least give us a hint!" Franca put away the Makeup box and cursed fiercely.

Christo smiled:

"Okay, okay."

He was not angry at all for being insulted. In his opinion, dogs are family members and close relatives. How could it be considered a curse?

He often warned those perverts Subordinate: Whoever touches my wife is like touching my dog!

Seeing that both Franca and Charles softened their attitudes, Christo asked curiously, "Is that strange world really the same as what Elken described?"

Without waiting for Franca to answer, Lumian smiled and patted Christo on the shoulder again:

"Haven't you figured it out yet? Has your brain been eaten by a dog? We just lied to you!

"We have not entered any strange world at all. We just feel that it is impossible for so many previous smuggling operations to be successful. This time we are suddenly involved in Paranormal Event. There must be something wrong with your batch of goods, so we decided to defraud you!"

"...""Rat"Christo showed an expression of annoyance uncontrollably.

Yes, if Franca and Charles really entered that strange world, they wouldn't have come out so quickly!

Elken They have been missing for several hours!

Why am I so stupid?

Why were you so fooled?

Christo restrained his emotions, looked at Franca, and said with a flattering smile, "Don't tell Boss that I told you about the existence of that thing, he will be very dissatisfied with me."

Franca glanced at Lumian with a slightly strange expression, and said to "Rat" Christo: "Okay, from now on, you owe me a favor."

"Okay!" Christo agreed hastily.

Saying goodbye to the smuggling leader, Lumian and Franca left the warehouse and turned into the narrow street heading to Market Avenue.

"I just discovered today that Christo guy is stupid and is so easy to deceive." After a long silence, Franca looked at Lumian beside him, and sighed as if he was smiling but not smiling, "You are very good at Deceit other people."

Lumian assumes a calm posture:

"In Cordou Village, you should know Cordou Village, right? My nickname is 'The Prank King'."

Franca, who had seen the wanted poster, was naturally familiar with Cordou Village. She looked at Lumian with a smile and said, "Did any of the things you said before deceive me?

"Haha, Jenna's evaluation of you is not completely wrong. You are cunning and treacherous."

"You are my Older Sister's companion, and everything I tell you is the truth." Lumian said with an open face.

He just didn't tell the whole truth. Even if Franca confirmed it using Divination's method, there was no sign that he was lying.

Franca observed his expression and nodded with satisfaction:

"I also want to believe in 'Muggle''s younger brother.

"Hmm... Just pretend you don't know about the existence of that thing Gardner. There are some things where finding out the truth will bring harm, so I won't ask him."

"Okay." Lumian behaved as well as he did in front of Aurora.

The two separated in the middle of Market Avenue, one went to Breeze Ballroom and the other transferred to White Coat Street.

It was already after eight o'clock in the evening, and it was already dark. The Gas Wall Lamp embedded on the edge wall lit up inside the Dance Hall, making the entire first floor immersed in a yellowish light. The closer to the dance floor, the darker the environment became.

Amid the greetings of "Boss", Lumian sat at the bar and ordered a cup of Anise Absinthe "Parrot" with mint.

This stuff is quite exciting. Just one sip made him feel completely clear, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Lumian sat for a while, enjoying Jenna's obscene songs, and then saw Charlie carrying a tray towards the bar.

"Charles, Boss!" After Charlie noticed that Bartender was looking at him, he decisively changed his name.

Lumian took a sip of the psychedelic green liquid and asked with a smile, "Do you prefer Dance Hall or the hotel's Underground Bar?"

Charlie glanced at Bartender and the other Waiter, and said in a lowered voice, "I still prefer Bar in the hotel."

"There, I am the focus of everyone!"

I can feel it... Lumian laughed and pointed to the young female singer who was rotating Jenna with her chin:

"She is your friend's daughter?"

Charlie once said that he had a friend who owed loan sharks and was forced by Baron Brignais to commit suicide by jumping off a building. His daughter was forced to Breeze Ballroom sing.

"Yes." Charlie replied with a somewhat sad expression.

The female singer was also dressed very colorfully, wearing a rather revealing short top and skirt. She should be about the same age as Jenna, but her appearance is somewhat different.

According to Lumian's observation, the biggest difference between the two is:

Jenna's eyes are always bright, but this one's fake smile is just a fake smile, and his eyes don't have any bright color.

Charlie opened his mouth, hesitating to ask for something, but finally closed it again.

Lumian is drinking "Parrot" and listening to the singing. I don't know what I am thinking.

When it was almost 10:30, he stood up, went back upstairs, changed into Linen Shirt, an old jacket and brown trousers, and put on dark blue Flat Cap.

It makes him look like a Vagrant.

Immediately afterwards, Lumian pushed open the window and jumped into the alley behind the Dance Hall.

He is planning to go around Old Dovecage Theater.

His "Prophecy" told him that Mr. Eve, the Golden Rooster Inn's Landlord will stay at Old Dovecage Theater this Friday, that is, from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock tonight.

Lumian never thought that he could solve the matter involving "Mother Tree of Desire" and Evil God by himself, nor did he plan to confront those people head-on. What he hoped was to discover more problems and collect useful information through observation.

For him, the most important thing is to use Mr. Eve and others to find the place where Suzanne Matisse lived before his death, and obtain something that she had carried for a long time, so as to lay the foundation for "Ghost Exorcism" when he was attacked by Evil Spirit later.

Although you may not have time to complete the Ritual Magic by then, it is better to be prepared than not.

After half a circle, Lumian arrived outside Old Dovecage Theater.

Because it was not yet 11 o'clock, he did not rush in, but huddled in the corner outside, looking at the beige six-story building Apartment where Mr. Eve lived like a real Vagrant.

Not long after, Lumian saw That One Landlord.

Mr. Eve was wearing a dark formal suit and maroon trousers that had been washed to white. He was wearing an old Half-Top Hat and holding a black Staff. He came back from the direction of Honest Man's Market and entered Apartment.

A few minutes later, the window corresponding to the room he lived in lit up, quite dimly.

Lumian Be patient and wait.

Waiting and waiting, he gradually frowned.

It's already past 11 o'clock. Why hasn't Mr. Eve come to Old Pigeon Cage yet?

The window still gave off a yellowish light, and figures passed by from time to time.

Another quarter of an hour passed, Mr. Eve still did not leave the building Apartment, passed through Market Avenue, and entered Old Dovecage Theater.

Lumian couldn't help but mutter to himself silently:

"Is there something wrong with my 'Prophecy'?"
