The correct interpretation
After hearing Rentas's answer, Lumian was unsure whether to laugh out loud or be glad that he had gotten a satisfactory result despite starting from the Error line of thinking.
He originally thought that these Beyonder believed in the "Mother Tree of Desire," like the fake Eve, would find it difficult to control their desires for greed, food, and sex. That's why he chose to use Gold Coin to bear the Vagrant's Bad Luck. Who knew that the followers of the Evil God god were only affected by the depth of their corresponding desires in different Sequence? When they truly mastered that power or received new Gift, they could break free and enter the next state. Although those desires were still quite strong, they were no longer uncontrollable.
In other words, if Rentas hadn't been Acting Mr. Eve and needed to portray that stinginess, he probably wouldn't have so easily picked up the Bad Luck Gold Coin and would have been more cautious in assessing the situation.
Of course, if he is not sensitive to the Change in Destiny and does not notice the problem with the Gold Coin, there is still a considerable possibility that he will keep the Gold Coin for himself after discovering that the owner has gone far away and will not return. After all, he is more greedy for small gains than Ordinary Person, and in the minds of a certain percentage of Ordinary Person, what they find is theirs.
Lumian felt a deeper resonance with what Rentas had just said:
Indeed, 'Don't get too caught up in the role you're Acting.'
"But Rentas was in the process of Acting at the time, so paying attention to details wasn't a problem; otherwise, it would have been easy for people to discover that he was a fake Eve..."
Franca sensed that the "Spiritism" was nearing its end and hurriedly asked, "Who are the Core Member of the Bliss Society that you guessed?"
Rentas's Paleness, blurry face moved from side to side:
Even if I tell you, you still won't find them.
"They all came to the Old Pigeon Cage after being granted the Gift of becoming ' Actor '. They used pseudonyms and showed us fake faces. Once their acting skills matured and they controlled their desires, they would revert to their true identities when they left the Theater."
"If you want to know their fake identities, then go and collect the list of all the leading actresses in the Old Pigeon Cage's plays over the Past two years. The ones with the most Repertoire are them."
When Lumian thought of the leading lady of the Old Dovecage Theater, one name came to mind:
Is Charlotte Calvino Core Member of the Bliss Society?
That's the lead actress in the play "The Woodland Fairy," and her attire in the still is reminiscent of Suzanne Matisse.
Rentas's face became increasingly blurred, and his voice increasingly ethereal.
"I have no idea.
"She rose through the ranks from acting Apprentice to leading roles in recent months. She's not Outsider, but it's possible for acting Apprentice to be recruited into the Bliss Society by Maple Meyer."
Just as Franca was about to ask about Maip Meyer's corresponding Sequence and abilities, Rentas's spirit, scorched by the Black Flame, could no longer hold on and dissipated on the surface of the Vanity Mirror.
Franca ended the Ritual with some regret, dispelling the "Spirit Wall."
Then, as she squatted down beside Rentas's Corpse, rummaging through her different pockets, she sighed and said, "I haven't asked about Maip Meyer yet. Oh well, let the authorities worry about it."
Lumian thought for a moment and said, "I heard a Playwright say that Maple Meyer is very ambitious. He wants to make Old Pigeon Cage the most famous Theater in Trier and wants to obtain the Legion of Honor of Intis."
"A thirst for success, a desire for recognition?" Franca recalled Rentas's description of Sequence 6 "Awarded." "Isn't that the ceiling for Men members of the Bliss Society?"
"Probably." Lumian struggled to give a precise answer.
By this time, Franca had already found a bunch of items:
Two Metal Vial, a leather wallet, some dough shaped to fit the contours of a face, small pieces of skin close to human skin tone, eyebrow pencils, and other Makeup tools...
"Smell what it is?" Franca tossed the two Metal Vial to Lumian.
Lumian quickly explained and then answered:
"One bottle is the one you just smelled, and the other should be the matching date rape drug."
They appear to be essential items for devotees of the "Mother Tree of Desire" when they go out.
"That kind of Mysticism Smelling Salts?" Franca pondered for a moment. "You already have a bottle, and it's not finished yet, so you can have it. The sleeping potion is yours, and you can choose from these disguise props and the money in your wallet. Keep what you don't want. Damn it, this poor bastard, he doesn't even have any materials, Charm, or weapons, let alone Beyonder Characteristic or Mystical Item!"
"Drugs and Mysticism Smelling Salts are quite effective." Lumian had only received Beyonder Characteristic from "Hammer" Ait, wasn't too concerned.
Franca Rentas searched his crotch and soles, but still couldn't find anything else.
She took out a folded cloth bag, unfolded it, gathered up the pile of things on the ground, and said to Lumian, "We'll divide it up when we get back."
After saying that, she stood up, looked at the still frightened Charlie, and muttered to herself thoughtfully, "He saw our fight with Rentas, what should we do?"
Charlie's legs went weak, and he leaned towards Lumian, his teeth chattering as he said, "I... I won't betray you!"
Before Lumian could speak, Franca sighed and said, "Forget it, let's just give it to the Official Beyonder."
Deliberately stirring up the topic and quickly reaching a conclusion... Afraid I'd kill Charlie to silence him? Having finally shaken off his performative tendencies, Lumian regained his composure and Rationality, and after a moment's thought, said, "I have another way."
Charlie no longer needs to seek Protection at Saint Robles Church, nor does he need to worry about Suzanne Matisse looking for him anytime soon.
He came up with his own "Fortune Transfer!
The reason it wasn't used before was because Suzanne Matisse hadn't continued to harass Charlie, so there was no corresponding Destiny to change. But now, Suzanne Matisse is close to recovery, Charlie is her first target. Her Fortune has changed, and there is a life-threatening Calamity of Blood. It's the perfect time to turn her luck around!
At that time, Lumian will "send" the Gold Coin that bear the Calamity of Blood to Real Eve, so that they will fight each other.
Of course, this is different from the "Substitution" and the "Destiny exchange" of "Fallen Mercury". It only transfers the Calamity of Blood for a period of time. In other words, Charlie will not be targeted by Suzanne Matisse in the next few days. However, after a few days, unless Suzanne Matisse has been completely purified or lost her memory, this kind of external threat will still come.
But the authorities will take action tomorrow, and they have sufficient intelligence to back it up!
Lumian didn't do this when he discovered Charlie's bad Fortune because he could change Charlie's fortune, but not his own. Suzanne would also attack him, the enemy Instigation Charlie's betrayal. So, it was better to use the simplest method to disguise himself and urge Charlie to go to the Church of the "Eternal Blazing Sun," freeing up more time to guard against Suzanne Matisse. And now, they were certain that Suzanne Matisse would not recover for another two days.
"Really?" Charlie's eyes lit up.
Lumian smiled and asked in return:
Do you believe me, or do you not believe me?
Charlie stammered in reply:
"Believe, believe!"
You're just playing pranks on people over trivial things.
Franca asked curiously, "What method?"
You have to find a way to avoid it... Lumian muttered silently, pondering the specific details:
To change Charlie's current Fortune, praying to myself is definitely not enough; I can only utilize the power sealed within me...
I'll have to make Charlie suffer a little, manually knock him unconscious, so as not to reveal that I'm Corruption or suspected of praying to Evil God for help...
Just as Lumian was about to order Charlie to follow him, and prepared to knock him unconscious with a single punch, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
Does utilizing the power within the seal count as utilizing Termiboros?
Should we write to Lady. "The Magician" and ask for her opinion?
"The Vagrant's Bad Luck before had nothing to do with the mysterious or the extraordinary, and the power extracted by the Ritual was not much. This time, however, we may have to fight against Sequence 5 Evil Spirit inside Evil God's Altar, and the support required will definitely be several times greater than last time..."
What will happen then?
"From the moment Charlie's Fortune changed until now, everything has become urgent, and the timing is just right, as if they've been creating this opportunity without giving me a chance to seriously consider it..."
"If I hadn't just Lady to ' The Magician ' and received a reminder, I probably would have already started to change Charlie's luck..."
Seeing Lumian standing there motionless, Franca tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"
Lumian snapped back to reality, considered for a moment, and said, "I just realized that the method I prepared seems to have a serious flaw."
"Ah," Charlie uttered a short, sharp sound.
He was both disappointed and worried.
Franca pondered for a few seconds and said, "I also have an idea: www. hetushu. com. com"
Charlie didn't go to Saint Robles Church; he followed us to White Coat Street.
"As long as we can get through tonight, we'll be fine tomorrow."
"Think about it, we originally planned to fight against Suzanne Matisse, and Suzanne Matisse still has two days before she leaves the Altar. Even if someone attacks us tonight, it will only be Maip Meyer and his Subordinate. Even if he invites other Core Member of the Bliss Society, as long as they are not as good as Suzanne Matisse in the Altar, we are quite confident that we can hold out until dawn. If all else fails, we can make a big commotion to attract the Official Beyonder, and then we can take advantage of the chaos to escape and leave the Market District."
"This is the worst possible outcome. If Charlie goes to Saint Robles Church, we'll have to consider moving now, and we'll also be vulnerable to attack."
Lumian for a few seconds and felt that the feasibility was quite high.
He nodded and said, "I have no objection."
He then looked at Charlie, Charlie eagerly responded:
"I have no problem either."
He still had a lot of confidence in Charles and Franca.
Lumian refocused his attention and began to observe Charlie's Fortune again.
To his astonishment, Charlie's Calamity of Blood had clearly weakened and was showing signs of improvement!
This... Charlie's real misfortune was participating in the "Fortune-Transfer Ritual"? When I gave up that idea, his Destiny changed? Although there's still Calamity of Blood, it's not as serious anymore... Damn Termiboros! Lumian suddenly realized something and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
