A bold conjecture

A "Alone" Bar? Lumian was taken aback by the answer.

Loki, the founder of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" "April Fool's Day" group, is also in Trier, and has a connection to that "Alone" Bar?

Isn't this a bit of a coincidence?

Lumian's impression of the "Alone" Bar was that it was located diagonally opposite the "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall, and that the Basement had a Puppet Theater with dim lighting, a dark color scheme, and a slightly eerie atmosphere.

He didn't initially think it was a big problem, but after learning that the people wearing Monocle at the "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall were in a state of being both "Amon" and "not Amon," he concluded that the "Alone" Bar, which could compete with and survive against that Dance Hall, was definitely not simple.

In addition, he had seen Lya from the Eighth Bureau enter that Bar, and he suspected that it was a secret base of the Eighth Bureau, with the purpose of monitoring the Amon in the "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall.

Is Loki also a member of the Eighth Bureau, a true Official Beyonder?

Or perhaps he simply lived in the Observatory District and knew that the "Alone" Bar was special enough that he used the opportunity of drinking to make copies of documents using the Mechanical Typewriter there, in order to avoid being traced?

"What's wrong?" Franca saw Lumian frowning slightly, lost in thought, and not speaking for a long time, so she stretched out her right hand and waved it in front of his eyes.

Lumian for a moment and said, "This Bar has a lot of problems."

"You know this Bar?" Franca asked, looking surprised.

This guy seems to know a lot of Concealment that I don't!

Lumian chuckled:

"It all started when Lady. Hella and I were searching for the ' Samaritan Woman Spring.'"

"..." Franca paused for a moment, "How many times do you need to explain all the details of this? Are you like toothpaste? You only get a little bit out after each squeeze!"

"The focus before was on what happened inside the ' Samaritan Woman Spring,' but this happened en route," Lumian explained without a trace of shame.

He begins by meeting Monet, a conman from the Archipelago, and being frightened by him several times. He then connects Charlie's deception, the "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall's special features, and the "Magician" Lady's introduction of Amon and his friends. Finally, he mentions that the "Alone" Bar is located diagonally opposite the "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall, and that official members of the Eighth Bureau used to frequent it.

Franca felt like she was listening to a ghost story, and instinctively reached for a pillow to hug, but found there weren't any on the Armchair.

She quickly came to her senses, straightened her back, and put on an expression that said, "How could a real man like me be scared by something terrifying?"

This is all for bullying Jenna!

After Lumian finished speaking, she hissed and said, "Your experiences are really rich, you've even encountered this kind of old Monster that only exists in horror stories."

"Why didn't you warn me before? That Archipelago scammer comes to the Market District every now and then. What if I run into him one day?"

"That's for your own good. If you didn't know he had a problem, you wouldn't act strangely when you met him, and he wouldn't notice. But now, if your eyes Change when you look at him, he might become suspicious and you might become a product of his 'parasite'," Lumi and Library said, half-threatening and half-reminding Franca.

"That's true." Franca gritted her teeth and said, "Whenever I run into him, I pray to Mr. ' The Fool ' for the Protection of an Angel when I get home!"

She shook her head, setting aside her fear of the Amon, and steered the conversation back on track:

"This involves Alone ' Bar, and it's going to be really difficult to investigate further..."

At this point, Franca suddenly had a very imaginative guess:

"Do you think Loki might have already been 'parasitized' by some Amon?"

"Huh?" Lumian was a little confused about Franca's train of thought.

Franca said with a solemn expression, "Think about it, the books and legends of the ' Ancient Sun God ' have been lost for two or three thousand years. Since the Holy Scripture of the Church of the Seven Gods are copied from Him, they must have erased the relevant information. Where did ' Loki ' get this information from?"

"Although there are many possibilities, if he is indeed Amon, then it makes perfect sense, since no one knows his father's situation better than him."

"As the child of Transmigrator, let alone being able to acquire Loki's memories through 'parasitism,' even if that doesn't work, He can perfectly Acting our companion. You also mentioned that He enjoys Deceit and has scared you several times, which is very similar to Loki's usual behavior."

"Yes, when Amon from the ' Different from the Rest ' Dance Hall was making copies of the documents, he deliberately went to the ' Alone ' Bar across the street to use Mechanical Typewriter, misleading potential investigations. That's also a manifestation of this style."

Lumian was taken aback by Franca's unbridled imagination, and after a long pause, he said thoughtfully, "That does explain why the information so coincidentally points to the ' Alone ' Bar."

"Under the guidance of this evil Angel, the members of the ' April Fool's Day ' group gradually Despair of the Future, increasingly pursue their own happiness, and begin to target other members of the ' Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society,' which is a reasonable development."

"However, Amon wouldn't intentionally let the information point to the ' Alone ' Bar, as that would naturally make investigators suspect Him, who lives diagonally across the street..."

"Perhaps He anticipated that the investigators would think that way," Franca retorted habitually.

Lumian slowly shook his head:

"If it were Amon, your Divination would definitely have been misled, or you wouldn't have gotten an answer."

"Well, anyway, it is indeed a possibility. I plan to go to the ' Alone ' Bar for a drink in the next couple of days and do some on-site inspection, but I won't do any in-depth investigation."

Franca hummed in agreement and sighed, "Actually, I know that the possibility of Loki being 'parasitized' by some Amon is very small. The essence of us entering the gathering place is to enter a special state. In this state, the Sealed Artifact that Lady. Hella borrowed should be able to distinguish whether there is any abnormality in each member's body, and will not transform the corresponding thing, but leave it in place."

"Sigh, I'm just making excuses for myself. It's a very bad thing for us to trace ' Loki ' and try to find him without any substantial evidence or strong suspicion."

"This makes me feel like I've betrayed the Society and my comrades, which is why I wanted ' Loki ' to be 'parasitized' by Amon. That way, I wouldn't feel this kind of guilt, and I 'Society."

Can entering a special state and going to the gathering place filter out abnormalities in the body? But Termiboros didn't have any problems... Lumian doesn't know if it's because Mr. The Fool's seal is special, or Sealed Artifact used by Lady. Hella doesn't actually have the ability to filter abnormalities and can't guard against Angel like Amon that can "parasitize".

He didn't raise any objections for the time being, and said with a smile, "In my opinion, there must be something wrong with ' Loki, ' it's just a matter of whether it's big or small."

When he sold you the information, did he encourage you to explore Underground and search for more remnants of the ' Ancient Sun God '?

"Yes," Franca nodded. "He also said that in similar places, the higher the Sequence, the more dangerous and easier Loss of Control; only those of us with Low-Sequence can get close."

"That's only relative. Did you think my exploration of the ' Samaritan Woman Spring ' was dangerous?" Lumian countered.

"It's very dangerous." Franca already had a good understanding of the matter.

This is even before you knew that the afterimage of the "Blood Emperor" almost Past me... Lumian muttered, "Searching for the remnants of the ' Ancient Sun God ' will only be more dangerous than this."

"If Loki hadn't tried it himself, and he's just urging you to search Underground, he's using you as cannon fodder. But if he has tried it, he'll inevitably be Corruption and gradually become alienated. He doesn't have Great Ones like Mr. The Fool to purify him."

"Therefore, finding ' Loki ' as soon as possible is good for you, and good for him as well."

After listening, Franca bit her lip and said, "That's true."

"Loki was truly malicious in this matter. The other members of the group on April Fool's Day's Day seemed curious and tried to participate, but I think they were just playing along with him."

After persuading Franca, Lumian asked curiously, "You said that the prerequisite for entering the gathering place is to enter a special state. What kind of state is that?"

Franca, having overcome her earlier hesitation, excitedly shared, "I once inquired about it with my Major Arcana. Although I couldn't recite the Incantation or describe the gathering place in detail, she still deduced from my words and actions that it was a ' Concealment ' power."

"The power of ' Concealment '..." Lumian nodded slightly.

It's quite Concealment; even the Incantation is Concealment, and it can't be told to anyone.

Franca continued, "' Concealment ' power resides in the ' Evernight ' Pathway, which is the Divine Pathway controlled by the Church the ' Goddess of Evernight '."

At this point, Franca unconsciously lowered her voice:

"I suspect that Lady. Hella is a member of the Church of the Evernight."

"Similar to '007'?" Lumian didn't encounter "That One" today, because there were just too many people at the party, and he didn't know the other person's usual attire or the group he frequented.

Franca hummed in agreement again.

"Similar, but perhaps more highly regarded, in a higher position, and possessing more Concealment knowledge."

Recalling Hella 'Lady actions regarding the collection of water from the "Samaritan Woman Spring," Lumian felt that Franca's description was accurate.

That One Lady did indeed possess a great deal of Concealment knowledge, and had a black diamond ring that clearly surpassed ordinary Mystical Item, seemingly possessing Divinity power.

Furthermore, the Sealed Artifact she used to convene the gathering was far more powerful than Lumian had imagined.

Lumian casually asked, "What are the main manifestations of the power of the ' Evernight ' Pathway?"

According to Aurora's Witchcraft Notes, the first three Sequence of this Pathway are "The Sleepless," "The Midnight Poet," and "The Nightmare," which mainly involve enhancing spirituality, increasing energy, reducing sleep, the Mysticism application of poetry, and the special method of forcibly inducing Slumber.

Franca thought for a moment and said, "' Concealment ' power, the control of spirits, real Dream..."

A real Dream... Upon hearing this answer, Lumian was suddenly stunned.

He remembered the Real Dream he had in the Ruins of Cordou Village.
