Boxing gloves

"It's not Loen's army..." Anthony·Reid muttered to himself with blank eyes.

On the night of the attack, he had dreamed about it many times. Under the repeated self-Psychological Suggestion, the ferocity and ferocity of the Loen soldiers became clearer and more impressive each time, and gradually evolved into a Nightmare that he couldn't get rid of. Who knows, today, someone told him that those were not Loen soldiers!

And he judged from the subtle expressions, body language and emotional state that Franca did not lie or deceive him!

This made him feel like a joke. Pain After so many years, he couldn't even get the identity of the murderer wrong.

As a "Psychiatrist", Anthony·Reid keenly felt that he had a sense of disillusionment, his mood became unstable, and he received a strong Impact.

He instinctively used "Soothing" on himself.

When Anthony·Reid tried to "rescue themselves," Franca further explained, "Either the confidentiality level of that battle is very high, and my That One Loen friends are not able to contact you for the time being, or there is someone else who attacked you."

Franca is more inclined to the latter possibility. After all, for Kingdom of Loen, it was just a small battle that wiped out a company. Anthony's comrades did not have important figures with enough weight, so there was no need to set a confidentiality level at all.

"Who could it be?" Jenna had already asked this question after seeing the content of Telegram, but neither Franca nor she could think of a reasonable answer for a while.

She even speculated whether "Instigator" deliberately provoked internal strife in the Intis army in order to digest Potion, and asked one of them to pretend to be Loenian and attack Anthony·Reid and his comrades at night.

But the difficulty is too high. No matter how powerful "Instigator" is, there is no hope of success unless the company Anthony·Reid discovers evidence of serious crimes committed by some people, or has a deep hatred with other armies due to disputes on the battlefield.

"Yes, who could it be..." Anthony·Reid, who calmed down after saying "Soothing" to himself, repeated in a deep voice.

Loen troops attacked him and his comrades. He could completely understand that although there was hatred, it was not excessive. After all, it was very normal for the two countries to be at war. But why were they attacking other people from other forces?

Franca thought about it and said, "Has your company ever abandoned friendly forces on the battlefield, or taken Spoils of War that it shouldn't have?"

Anthony·Reid thought about it and shook his head firmly:

"No."

"Definitely not." Lumian added in a very firm tone, "Huge Artois was involved in this matter. It is obviously not an external conflict caused by friendly forces."

"Have you ever disobeyed George Artois's orders, or caused him to lose anything?" Jenna thought for a while and asked.

Anthony·Reid shook his head again:

"If I had, I wouldn't have been confused for so many years."

Apartment 601 suddenly became quiet. Lumian remembered something mentioned in "Magician" Lady's last reply and said thoughtfully, "Could that be a sacrifice to Ritual? A blood sacrifice to a certain Evil God."

"Magician" Lady mentioned that "Sinners", the Concealment organization that believes in Evil God, probably appeared in that war In the later period, the reason was that the war gave the Evil Gods more opportunities to penetrate into the world. Could the encounter between Anthony·Reid and his comrades be incidental to one of these opportunities?

"Blood sacrifice..." Franca and Jenna simultaneously remembered that Hugh Artois was supported by multiple Evil God forces.

He began to collude with Evil God believers during the war a few years ago and sacrificed a company to which he belonged?

Anthony·Reid was silent for a moment and said, "Evil God believers disguised themselves as Loen troops and massacred us with the cooperation of Hugo Artois?"

"This is the most reasonable explanation at present." Franca said quickly, "But who is the beneficiary? It is definitely not Hugues Artois. He has not accepted Gift until his death."

For a while, no one could answer Franca's question.

After a few seconds, Lumian said, "This is one of the directions that needs to be investigated in the future. This is probably related to the support that Hugh Artois received and became Member of Parliament."

Hearing this, Jenna told the information he had obtained from "Purifier" in detail, and finally said, "The problem now is that the most suspected General Philip is dead, and all the clues leading to him have been disconnected."

"What a timely death." Franca said with a "haha" smile, "Was it cleared in advance?"

Lumian touched his chin and said slowly, "In Mysticism World, certain deaths do not mean true death."

"Justice"Lady mentioned that there is a Sequence like "Seer" in Evil God Gift, and they can use death to escape from the original Destiny.

Similarly, if General Philip uses "Substitution", the person who died may not be the real him.

Franca, who has cooperated with Guillaume·Béné, understands it immediately:

"'Substitution'?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Lumian laughed, "Next, our goal is to investigate That One General Philip and confirm his death. Even if he is really dead, there may be some clues left behind, but 'Purifier' people were unable to discover it due to restrictions."

Seeing their partners, they discussed the direction of action in just a few words. Anthony·Reid, who had been overturned from his original understanding and had not fully recovered, felt that he was also infected, which gave him a little more confidence.

He nodded lightly and said, "Don't be too anxious, this matter must be very complicated. I will first do preliminary intelligence collection on General Philip and his family and friends."

After Anthony·Reid left, Lumian saw that Franca was going to Springwater Street to find Gardner·Martin, so he walked out Apartment 601 with her.

While going down the stairs, he briefly mentioned the content of his exchange with "Hella".

Franca The more I listen, the more excited I become:

"Okay, okay, you will soon become 'Muggle', let's go to contact 'April Fool's Day' together!"

"You're here, what are you expecting?" He-Tu-Shu Lumian glanced at this guy.

Franca said with a "tsk tsk" smile, "There is a saying in my Homeland that if you get caught in the rain, you have to tear off other people's umbrellas. Haha, I'm joking, but don't you think this is a very interesting thing? Although your appearance is a bit tough, you only use simple words. Just a few adjustments can make it look beautiful. After the 'Pyromaniac' and Potion are digested, do you really not consider buying a bottle of 'Pleasure'? Hey, forget it, there is still a certain risk of Loss of Control before converting from Sequence 4 to Pathway."

After joking for a while, Franca, who came to the street, suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Besides, you are one of the few people I can trust now. If I can get your direct cooperation in investigating the 'April Fool's Day' problem, I will feel a lot more at ease. What a pity..."

"It's a pity..." Lumian is also very sorry.

He turned to ask about Emperor Roselle and expressed confusion about the attitude of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" members.

Franca's expression suddenly became weird, as if he was trying his best not to laugh.

After a while, she breathed out and said, "This matter is quite complicated. I can't explain it in a few words. I will explain it in detail tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when I have free time. In short, be mentally prepared."

"How complicated can it be?" Lumian muttered, said goodbye to Franca, and walked towards Messy Street.

After returning to Room 207, Golden Rooster Inn, although he had already discovered the problem with Aurora's Witchcraft Notes and no longer needed to study it, he still habitually pulled out the copied Paper and looked at it with divergent thinking.

When it was almost early in the morning, Lumian felt something in his heart and looked up at the top of Carbide Lamp.

The light there was tinged with a faint blue.

"Doll" Messenger, wearing a light Golden skirt, suddenly appeared, looking at Lumian coldly, as if trying to endure some emotion.

With two snaps, she threw a pair of Iron-Black gloves with multiple spikes onto the table. The sound of the collision was closer to wood versus wood than wood versus metal.

At the same time, a piece of Paper folded into a square floated towards Lumian.

"Thank you." Although "Doll" and Messenger disappeared quickly without any intention of communicating, Lumian still said thank you politely.

He did not touch the pair of gloves for the time being, unfolded Paper, and read the letter from "Magician" Lady:

"'Shadow Tree Branch' and 'Lucky One' Beyonder Characteristic have been made into Mystical Item.

"How about it, has it completely changed its appearance so that you can carry it easily? This is a masterpiece.

"It hasn't been named yet. It can be called 'Lucky Shadow Gloves' in a more casual way, or 'Torture' in a more stylish way. You can also choose it yourself.

"Any target hit by it, regardless of whether it is injured or not, or blocked with a weapon, will be stimulated with a desire or emotion. As for which one, it originally depends on your luck, but with 'Lucky One', you can simulate or imagine the corresponding desires and emotions in advance, so that the target will have the reaction you want to see. The success rate is very high, about seventy or eighty percent.

"After the target is stimulated with a desire or emotion, when you hit him for the second time, no new desires or emotions will arise, but there will be a chance for the previous desire or emotion to explode. This is an unbearable wave for most targets, and will bring a great burden to their bodies, causing them serious damage, and even causing them to temporarily lose their ability to resist.

"The probability of detonating desire or emotion in each hit is not high, but if you punch the target a few more times, it will always be triggered, unless you are attached with Bad Luck, which offsets the characteristics of 'Lucky One'.

"The most powerful thing about this pair of gloves is not its attack ability, but its defense. It is very strong and can withstand a blow from 'Reaper' without being damaged (Note: 'Reaper' is 'Hunter' Pathway's Sequence 5), of course, the premise is that the blow happens to hit the glove. In this case, it may even use its own shattering or fracture to help you block a blow with Divinity, probably at the Sequence 4 level.

"Its Negative Effect will make your self-control ability decrease when you carry it, and various desires and emotional fluctuations will become stronger. It requires excellent endurance to fight against it. When you wear it, because it comes from the strain 'Shadow Tree Z', you will be stared at by some Hidden Being from the other party. Although they cannot really hurt you due to various reasons, they can drive some dangerous creatures to come next to you, exert influence on you or launch attacks.

"So, each time you use this pair of gloves, you should not use them for too long. When you use them up, move to another location immediately. If you fail to do these two things and you are targeted by hidden dangers, remember to maintain a good condition. As long as you can block one or two blows, those dangerous creatures that cannot really come will be rejected by the world. Banishment Go back.

"Ah, by the way, your Two Psychiatrists wants you to have a final follow-up visit at the same time and place tomorrow afternoon."
