Fortune transfer

Lumian remained patient and waited until midnight.

When it was almost 11:30, Glass Window corresponding to room Eve had no lights, but no one left Apartment.

It looks like it's not too early to meet the Miser. In order to save money on the Gas, I just turned off the lights and went to bed.

As midnight approaches, the last drama of Old Dovecage Theater comes to an end, and the Spectators leave one after another without anyone entering.

Lumian muttered to himself again, "Is it true that the answer obtained by 'Prophecy' is not accurate enough? After all, Ritual Magic prayed to myself, so it is understandable that the effect is not good."

"Well, that's a possibility.

"But what if, what if 'Prophecy' is correct?"

Lumian's thoughts changed and he was horrified.

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Old Dovecage Theater's door surrounded by posters.

If "Prophecy" is correct, it means that Mr. Eve really stayed at Old Dovecage Theater during the period from 11 o'clock to 12 o'clock.

And Mr. Eve is really in Old Dovecage Theater. Who is Mr. Eve who just entered Apartment but did not leave?

He is most likely fake!

Fake!

"No way..." Lumian couldn't believe the speculation he made.

It's not like he has never met Mr. Eve or chatted with him. How could he be deceived by a fake person?

In comparison, he is more willing to believe that "Prophecy" is not effective.

"Perhaps, there is a tunnel at the bottom of Apartment leading to Old Dovecage Theater?" Lumian tried hard to find the reason.

It is easier to build a tunnel in Trier than in other cities. You only need to dig a short section and connect it to Underground, Tunnel, Library, and Sewer. However, it is also easy to be discovered. Now, because Underground Trier really has people coming and going, there are often Quarry Police patrols, Smuggling Caravan passing by, and planters passing by. Unless the tunnel is dug into a deeper area, or there is a good way to cover the entrance and exit, it will not take long for someone to squat down.

And if Mr. Eve's building Apartment really had a similar tunnel, he wouldn't have gone out to the nearby Underground Trier Entrance in the dark last time.

While thinking, Lumian recalled two things:

1. When he first met Mr. Eve, he "saw" his Fortune. However, when he "met" him the next day, he found that his Fortune had strangely changed;

Second, Mr. Eve clearly has Beyond Ability, and most likely believes in Evil God "Mother Tree of Desire", and Sequence is not high, but when Official Beyonder brought him to Police Headquarters for questioning, he found nothing unusual.

Combining the contradiction between the answer of "Prophecy" and the reality, Lumian narrowed his eyes and said to himself in a deep voice, "Is it true or false?"

After being "robbed" by him, That One who lives opposite Apartment is the fake Mr. Eve?

That's why Fortune changed, but Official Beyonder didn't find the problem?

"Why does he look exactly the same as Mr. Eve? I used Mystical Item similar to 'Mystery-Peering Glasses' Makeup, or other methods? The fake Mr. Eve is himself Ordinary Person? The real Mr. Eve has been hiding somewhere in Old Pigeon Cage?" Lumian The more I think about it, the more creepy I feel.

In this way, I directly replaced someone and no one noticed!

Christo's Person in the Mirror will at least be left and right reversed!

"This is getting more and more Evil. As expected of the believers of Evil God..." Lumian sighed sincerely.

From the various abilities of that perverted Hedsey, he had guessed that Mr. Eve should have noticed something abnormal after being "robbed". After all, 1 Felkine is money, and no robber would be willing to throw it away, and if it really happened was lost, it means that the robbery was not the real purpose. Therefore, it is understandable that Mr. Eve was prepared and concealed it from Official Beyonder. Lumian just did not expect that they used such a weird method:

He actually found a person who looked exactly like Mr. Eve!

For a moment, Lumian couldn't tell whether the fake Mr. Eve in Apartment was Ordinary Person who had been given "magical makeup" by Beyonder, or whether he was a Evil God believer with special abilities.

If it's the former, he really wants to take advantage of the silence of the night to go directly to the door, arrest the other party, beat him up, demand the truth, and then throw him to Police Headquarters or a certain Church, and let Official Beyonder finish the matter.

If it was the latter, he would not dare to be too reckless. No one knew how much the fake was equivalent to Sequence and what abilities it had.

Lumian turned his head again and glanced at the brick-red three-story building where Old Dovecage Theater was located, and found that no Spectator was coming out of the door.

This gave up the idea of going in and looking around again.

The last drama of today has ended!

After thinking for a while, Lumian decided to make some preparations.

He stood up slowly and walked in the direction of Honest Man's Market along the shadow that could not be illuminated by the light of Gas Streetlamp.

Along the way, he kept looking at the Vagrant sleeping on the roadside and in the corner, his eyes were deep and very serious.

Finally, he found a suitable target:

The Vagrant huddled under Barricades in the alley. His clothes were in tatters and covered with mud. There were wounds on his legs that had been bitten by stray dogs. They were bloody and oozing with yellow liquid.

In Lumian's eyes, this guy can be called a Bad Luck haunter. Future will encounter a series of Calamitys within two or three days, and may even be life-threatening.

This is good "material" for holding "Fortune Transfer"!

Yes, Lumian intends to use the Ritual Magic "Fortune Transfer" that comes with "Mendicant Friar" to make an item that can convey Bad Luck.

If the fake Mr. Eve is very unlucky and always encounters various problems, then he will most likely expose his own problems to Official Beyonder!

Based on this idea, Lumian has just been selecting the most unlucky Vagrant - this group itself belongs to the bad kind of Fortune.

Pulling down Flat Cap, he walked to the side of Vagrant and turned his back to Gas Streetlamp on the street outside, hiding his face completely in the shadows.

Lumian then squatted down, put on the black Gloves, and pushed the Vagrant.

"You..." The Vagrant turned around and asked with a slightly Pain look of confusion.

"I need your help with something, are you willing?" Lumian took out a Silver Coin worth 1 Felkine, with small Angel and diverging cables engraved on it.

Vagrant's eyes were suddenly attracted by Silver Coin, and he nodded without hesitation. "No problem!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Past, and his nose seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of Apple Cider and thick Meat Pie.

After getting the Silver Coin, Vagrant's eyes suddenly straightened, he looked behind Lumian, and blurted out in shock:

"That's..."

While Lumian turned his head, he pressed his hands, stood up suddenly, tried to climb over Barricades, and ran to the bottom of the alley.

Why give money to Vagrant and ask him to cooperate in doing something? It is very dangerous!

The normal choice for Vagrant is of course to accept the money and run away!

Snap!

Lumian withdrew his right hand and watched calmly as Vagrant fell softly on top of Barricades, unconscious Past.

From the beginning, he never thought of letting that Vagrant be awake to witness everything, because even if he blindfolded the other party's eyes and plugged the other party's ears, it might be dangerous, and there would be a certain probability of exposing his identity and "Fortune Transfer", the very Evil Ritual Magic.

Therefore, his plan was to ask for the opponent's opinion exactly, and after getting permission, directly knock him out.

Lumian lifted up the Vagrant by supporting his drunk companion, took him to the nearest Underground Trier Entrance, hid him in a nearby hidden place, tied his hands and feet, blindfolded his eyes, and blocked his ears.

After doing all this, he sneaked back to Breeze Ballroom, found a Carbide Lamp, and brought the corresponding tools.

Immediately afterwards, he returned to the entrance, picked up the unconscious Vagrant, and walked all the way to the Quarry Cavern where the "Prophecy" was held.

Different from last time, this time it is still Dual Ritual Method, but the orange Candle on top, which represents the object of prayer such as Deity, has been replaced by Gray-White.

It also contains the blood of Lumian.

In order to increase the probability of success, Lumian planned to use this ritual magic to "pray" to the pollution sealed in his chest to mobilize a little bit of its power.

After simply making Altar and creating "Spirit Wall", he stabbed the Vagrant with the perverted Hedsey's Dagger, causing his blood to flow into a Metal Vial.

Vagrant woke up because of this, but was knocked unconscious again Past in an instant.

Lumian immediately disinfected and bandaged his wounds, mixed the blood with the ashes from his burned hair into an "ink", picked up the thinnest Paintbrush, and sketched several complex and mysterious symbols on a piece of Imitation Sheepskin Paper:

There were Ring composed of Black Thorn that he was familiar with, small snakes intertwined head to tail, rivers composed of such small snakes, lines of Distortion, weird eyes, etc., etc.

After barely finishing the painting, cold sweat broke out on Lumian's forehead.

He placed Vagrant and the Imitation Sheepskin Paper full of symbols on the boulder that served as Altar, dripped perfume into the fire, sprinkled the powder, took two steps back, looked at the gently swaying yellow candlelight, and said in Ancient Hermetic: "Power of Fate!"

"You are Past, now, and also Future;

"You are the cause, the result, and the process."

Like many times before, the candlelight representing Deity was first compressed to the extreme, and then expanded to the size of a fist, silvery white and black, while all the surrounding things were Distortion, Gray Fog was everywhere, and a black wind was blowing.

Lumian, whose ears were full of crazy murmurs, resisted dizziness and changed his voice to Hermetic: "I pray to you;

"Please change this poor man's Destiny;

"I beg you to take away his misfortune."

Thinking of this, Lumian took a step forward, put the Imitation Sheepskin Paper painted with mysterious symbols on the silver-white and black candle, lit it, and placed it in the natural depression on the surface of Altar.

The next second, he took out a Gold Coin worth 5 Felkine, engraved with Sunbird, and put it next to Vagrant's hand.

For Miser, money is something that cannot be refused, it will be the best medium!

Lumian, who seemed to be carrying a thousand kilograms of weight, took a step back, and waited until Imitation Sheepskin Paper Burning was exhausted before saying the last Incantation:

"Gray Amber, Herbs that belongs to Fate, please pass your power to my Incantation..."

The whole Altar suddenly became bright and extremely illusory. There seemed to be an illusory, complicated, and cold Mercury-Colored long river flowing quietly in front of Lumian.

It wrapped Vagrant and the Gold Coin inside, making the whispers in Lumian's ears clearer and making the blue blood vessels on his face bulge one after another.

Lumian instinctively feared Pain as he prayed for "Gift". Suddenly, the illusory picture shrank and landed on the surface of Gold Coin on Altar.

Everything then returned to normal, except for the Gold Coin, which looked a little dim under the silvery white and black light.
