A visit
Waiter looked at the large number of Gold Coin and Banknotes that seemed to smell the special ink fragrance, his eyes straightened involuntarily, and he instinctively held his breath.
After a few seconds, he looked around hurriedly and saw that no one was around, so he calmed down a little.
"Give it all to me?" Waiter swallowed hard.
Albus directly threw a Gold Coin Past worth 5 Felkine, letting it fall accurately in the palm of Waiter, and then said with a smile, "It depends on whether the information you provided is useful, but no matter what, you can get another 20 Felkine."
Waiter gently bit the Gold Coin in his hand, then looked back at the way he came, and said in a lowered voice, "The southerner in Room 2 on the 6th floor is just like you. Every time he comes, he always looks for the most famous Courtesan. He likes to order food in advance and let us deliver it to the room every half an hour."
Southerners, look for the most famous Courtesan, who likes to order food in advance, room 602...Albus was not stingy, and threw two more 10 Felkine coins engraved with warships to the Waiter.
Next, he took advantage of the City Wall Street busiest time yet, taking advantage of the afternoon Sunlight when everyone was lazy, sneaked to the sixth floor and hid in the balcony at the end of the corridor.
In less than ten minutes, Waiter, who was in charge of delivering food, took Service Lift, a machine powered by Steam, and pushed Silver-White's metal dining car to room 602, and gently rang the doorbell.
Albus stood up, found a place on the balcony where he could see the door of 602, and cast his eyes on Past.
The person who opened the door was Men, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, wearing a half-face mask of Iron-Black, a white shirt and light-colored boxer shorts.
Take off your pants but not your clothes... in order to cover up the tattoo marks on your upper body? Albus The more I look at him, the more I feel that the man in room 602 is Guillaume·Béné on the wanted warrant.
Without "disturbing" the other party, he sat back on the white fence chair in the balcony and took out a gray, thick-haired Rat from his pocket.
This is one of the pets of "Beast Tamer" Christo!
Lumian found the "Rat" in order to use his pets that can communicate easily to complete the communication between team members more covertly and effectively.
Of course, this must rely on Christo as the transfer point and "translator".
Albus patted the head of the Rat, and as agreed in advance, he made a gesture with his thumb and index finger clasped together to form Ring, with the remaining three fingers raised.
This means that prey that is highly likely to be the target has been found.
The Rat made a "squeak" sound, jumped out of Albus's hand, and looked for its owner who had been hiding in a nearby Beer Hall.
After learning from "Rat" Christo's pet Parrot that members of "Iron and Blood Cross Order" had found Parish Priest, Lumian fell into a brief state of shock and confusion.
If they really found Guillaume·Béné, then who did I see?
If the people in the house No. 50 Vincent Street are indeed Guillaume·Béné, then where did the fakes they saw come from?
As his thoughts turned around, Lumian suddenly thought of a possibility:
"Substitution"!
Guillaume·Béné held "Substitution" Ritual!
That is one of the five special Ritual Magic Lumian obtained in the "Mendicant Friar" stage, and Parish Priest, who has already become Sequence 5 "Fate Hunter", will obviously do the same.
Its function is to let Gifted realize the danger, find another person to live in his own name for a period of time, gain the recognition of the people around him, whether genuine or false, establish enough Mysticism connections, and then conduct Ritual to complete Replacement.
If "Substitution" is successful, in the eyes of others, the avatar will be exactly the same as the original self. Although his self-perception and actual performance will be affected to a certain extent, he will still be basically his original self.
When the substitute is swallowed up by the predicted Calamity, Gifted using "Substitution" will undergo the change of Destiny, completely getting rid of the corresponding danger.
Of course, the premise is that "Calamity" didn't know it was a stand-in when it arrived.
This will be quite effective for other Beyonder, but Lumian who knows the existence of "Substitution" and what it is will not be deceived as long as he thinks of this.
For him, the most critical issue now is:
Which side is the real Guillaume·Béné, and which side is the substitute?
Lumian's currently organized forces must be gathered together to hope to severely injure Parish Priest and capture him without much damage. Therefore, one must choose one side to attack first, and cannot attack at the same time.
--Gardner·Martin only promised to help find "prey" and did not promise to provide other help. Because of this, most of the formal members and peripheral members sent by "Iron and Blood Cross Order" are Low-Sequence, and even Ordinary Person.
Of course, if Lumian really goes to ask Gardner·Martin, the other party might agree with the idea of winning people's hearts, but the problem is that "Iron and Blood Cross Order" must mobilize enough power It takes several hours to measure it. Guillaume·Béné is not an iron man, and Courtesan is not "Pleasure Witch". How could it last for so long? He will definitely leave early.
Which choice will Guillaume·Béné make? Let the avatar stay at home, attract firepower, and go out to fool around on his own, or let the avatar go out, show his characteristics, and "kill" the danger outside the home? Lumian feels that both possibilities are possible, and cannot be truly ruled out.
He thought for a while, looked at the green and white Parrot and said, "Look for 'Red Boots' Franca, and ask her to Divination to see which of the No. 50 Vincent Street's Guillaume·Béné and the other Guillaume·Béné is real and which is fake."
Parrot looked at Lumian like he was looking at a fool and said, "I'm just a Parrot."
What I said was too complicated for it to understand and write down completely? Lumian made a decision quickly after a few thoughts flashed through his mind:
"Take me to 'Red Boots'Franca, no, take me to Christo first."
There is still a certain amount of time, and No. 50 Vincent Street That One cannot escape. The team responsible for the operation can meet briefly and simply exchange information.
Our side is hiding in the dark and the enemy is operating in the open. As long as they are not disturbed, we can wait for a while. Of course, it must end before Guillaume·Béné who is fooling around with the famous Courtesan has vented his desires. After all, following a person carries the risk of exposure, especially following Parish Priest, who has a lot of weird and unknown abilities.
In an alley near City Wall Street.
The afternoon Sunlight shone on the Barricades that was mostly pushed down, making the wind want to stop and rest for a while.
Franca changed into Assassin's "suit" and Jenna dressed as a mercenary from Women, still wearing the same military green clothes and trousers Anthony·Reid in trousers and Lumian wearing Flat Cap, black vest and white shirt gathered in this quiet and deserted place.
Lumian briefly mentioned the situation, but due to time constraints, did not go into detail about "Substitution", which was collectively referred to as the witchcraft of creating a living double.
Before he could ask, Franca had already taken out a piece of Mirror, caressing the surface while reciting Incantation.
Soon, Waterlight appeared in the mirror, and an old voice came out:
"It's all true."
It's all true...Franca turned his head sideways in surprise and looked at Lumian.
The witchcraft of creating a double is very powerful. The appearance and fate of the created double are the same as the real one, which is difficult to distinguish by ordinary divination methods!
It's all true... Lumian had expected this answer and was already thinking of another way just now.
Seeing that he was silent for a moment, Franca took a breath and said hesitantly, "Yes, do you need me to change the subject of the inquiry?"
She plans to ask That One, who has the most Divination results as Precision, for answers.
But in that case, she must answer a question that may cause her social death in front of Jenna, Lumian and Anthony·Reid.
She felt that That One would probably ask, "Do you often think about doing that kind of thing with Jenna?"
How will she get along with Jenna in the future?
Lumian shook his head and said, "No, I have a way."
He then said to Jenna, "Hide in the shadow diagonally opposite the room 'Dill'602 and pay close attention to the actions of that Guillaume·Béné."
"If he is finished and ready to leave, but we haven't arrived yet, don't follow him rashly. Just observe his whereabouts from a distance and know which street he probably went to."
"Okay." Jenna nodded and rehearsed in his mind what he should do.
Lumian turned to Franca and Anthony·Reid:
"Let's go to No. 50 Vincent Street together. I'll go directly to 'visit' the Guillaume·Béné, Franca. You follow me in the same way as Invisibility. Try not to make any move before confirming the authenticity.
"Anthony, you stay outside. If that Guillaume·Béné is fake, we rushed to 'Dill', you will monitor it secretly The hostess there, let's see where she goes. After that, if Guillaume·Béné of 'Dill' successfully escapes, this will be an important clue for our follow-up tracking.
"If No. 50 Vincent Street That One is true, there was a fierce battle, and you came in quietly to provide assistance."
Franca has no objection to this arrangement. She knows that Lumian has "Teleportation". Once it is confirmed that Vincent Street That One is fake, the main force of the battle can rush to the other side before the real and fake Guillaume can "exchange news".
Anthony analyzed the risks he needed to take and said there was no problem.
No. 50 Vincent Street, near the three-story building Ivory.
After Lumian saw Franca directly "Invisibility" without any materials, he raised his right hand and wiped his face.
He instantly transformed into a man in his thirties wearing a black uniform and inspector epaulettes.
"Face of Niser"!
After confirming his own situation, Lumian walked to the target building and rang the doorbell directly.
The person who opened the door was a man dressed as Butler. He looked at Lumian and asked in confusion, "Officer, what's the matter?"
"There is a Vagrant disappearance case involving this street. I want to meet your master." Lumian started to make up random things.
Then Butler's expression changed slightly:
"Officer, please wait a moment. I'll go ask our master."
After a while, Butler returned to the door and said to Lumian, "Officer, our master invites you to go to the small living room on the first floor."
Lumian nodded lightly and followed Butler into No. 50 Vincent Street.
The living room here is spacious, with a blue-gray cat huddled in a corner, a bird in a cage chirping non-stop, and a black dog that looks like a hound squatting in the aisle, warily looking at strangers who come through the door.
After bypassing the set of elegant sofas, Butler turned into the small living room at the back. A man with black hair, blue eyes, a slightly hooked nose, wearing a dark shirt and black trousers was sitting on Armchair, stroking Brown-haired Big Dog's head, with a leisurely and slightly Pride posture.
"Officer, what's the matter?" the man slowly stood up and asked.
It's him, it's him, Guillaume·Béné! Parish Priest Guillaume·Béné! Lumian After seeing the appearance of the male host clearly, his eyes narrowed, and he took a few steps forward, closing the distance between the two parties to within five meters.
Immediately afterwards, he opened his mouth and made a sound:
"Ha!"
Only by actually taking action can you determine who is the substitute and who is the real person!
