Elimination

Lumian looked at the pocket watch carefully for a while and confirmed that it had no mechanical failure.

In the previous hour, he himself had not touched it, so it would not have affected the pocket watch.

"From the time I calibrated my pocket watch to now, the only thing that makes me feel abnormal is the trance when I left 'Alone'Bar and the faint sound of the bell, well, 'Different from the Rest'Dance Hall There is also one less guard wearing Monocle at the door. Is there any connection between this and my pocket watch suddenly slowing down for one minute?" Lumian thought carefully for a while and could only find out the suspected reason.

He planned to write to Market District and inquire about "Magician" Lady.

Normally, it would be impossible for him to trouble Major Arcana with such a trivial matter, but the abnormality in the pocket watch is most likely to occur in Old Street, and the Amons of "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall have some Change. These are all reasons not to be careless.

Lumian put on his pocket watch, and after Public Carriage arrived at a station, he suddenly got off the carriage and turned into a nearby street, always paying attention to the people and animals passing around him.

He changed Public Carriage three times to different places, trying to find and get rid of possible trackers.

This is the self-cultivation of "Hunter".

After going through the entire process, Lumian entered a Department Store store, put the bag containing the "Torture" gloves in the public Washroom compartment, put on the "Lie" ear clips, and returned to his original appearance.

He also took off Brown Jacket, put on the dark vest carried in his satchel, and returned to Honest Market District as Charles·Dubois.

Lumian breathed a long sigh of relief after writing his own trance, the faint ringing of bells and the Change of "Different from the Rest"Dance Hall guards into the letter and sending it to "Magician"Lady.

Every time he went to Old Street, although he never encountered Calamity in the true sense, he always felt uncomfortable and had unspeakable fear stirring in his heart.

Not long after, "Puppet"Messenger brought a reply from "Magician"Lady:

"Your feelings are keen and correct.

"The trance you appeared and the bells you heard were all caused by Mr. 'The Fool''s 'Angel of Time'. He found the target and eliminated all Amon in 'Different from the Rest' Dance Hall and the entire Trier. Your pocket watch slowed down for one minute because of the impact of this battle.

"In the next period of time, you no longer have to worry about what Amon will do to you. Of course, you should also know that such Mythical Creature cannot be solved so easily and completely fall. In various Southern and Northern Continent countries, there are still a large number of Amon, Trier, Underground, and Angel. There may be a few Amon hidden in places where the power of Underground and Angel cannot exert remote influence."

After reading the reply from "Magician" Lady, Lumian was stunned for several seconds.

So a trance represents a Angel level battle?

If he hadn't just calibrated his pocket watch, he wouldn't have found any substantial evidence!

If it weren't for Termiboros, the Angel-Level creature, sealed in his body, he would definitely be like Lya, unable to even hear the sound of the bell, or even be in a trance!

"Is this the power of Angel? That is, the battle between 'Angel of Time' and Amon did not affect the people around them, otherwise the citizens who were in Old Street at that time would not even know how they died...

"The pocket watch slowed down for a minute... A Angel level battle took place in my brief trance... 'Angel of Time'... Mr. 'The Fool''s 'Angel of Time' can really partially control time...

"Once you cross the Divinity gate, all kinds of abilities become so magical, the repeated Loop of 'Person of the Loop', the 'Concealment' power of 'Evernight' Pathway, 'Magician The Starlight Gate of 'Lady, and the bells of 'Angel of Time' are all things I couldn't imagine before..." Lumian was surprised and sighed. For the first time, it was not because of wanting Resurrection Older Sister longs for the power of High-Sequence.

It is a yearning that comes from instinct.

Thinking that for a period of time, he no longer has to be afraid of Amons suddenly jumping out of a corner and pushing himself into new dangers, Lumian felt quite good. He sincerely praised "The Fool"Sir, praise That One"Angel of Time" and your own Major Arcana"Magician"Lady.

He relaxed a lot, burned the reply letter, and forwarded it to Apartment 601 from No. 3 White Coat Street.

Franca is waiting for him to bring back the information of "Alone", Bar and "Loki".

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Lumian asked with a smile after closing the door.

Franca looked him up and down:

"I feel very good...

"The good news is that clues related to 'Loki' have been found?

"The bad news is that we don't have enough capabilities to pursue it?"

"None of them." Lumian grabbed Franca's Armchair.

Franca was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this guy to be so shameless.

Before she could say "Hey", Lumian continued, "The good news is that Mr. 'The Fool''s 'Angel of Time' took action and cleaned up 'Different from the Rest'Dance Hall and all the Amons of Trier, if 'Loki' is not absent for no reason at the next gathering, it means that he has not been 'parasitized' by a certain Amon.

"The bad news is that the copy of the data you bought was indeed typed using Mechanical Typewriter in the cellar of 'Alone' Bar, but we can't trace it at Territory in the Eighth Bureau. Well, I'm pretty sure now that it is Eighth Bureau's stronghold."

Lya is there to be Bartender.

Franca was sometimes excited and sometimes frowning:

"Did you see Mr. 'The Fool''s 'Angel of Time'? But why didn't I feel any obvious movement from Trier...

"Indeed, regardless of whether 'Loki' is from the Eighth Bureau, directly asking who has used that Mechanical Typewriter recently will lead to you and me being Eighth Bureau is following, and looking for excuses to use that typewriter, try Divination's latest user, which is likely to point to some members of the Eighth Bureau, or even Saint.

"The Eighth Bureau stronghold opened diagonally across from 'Different from the Rest' Dance Hall must be guarded by someone from High-Sequence!"

Franca, whose attention was diverted to business matters, forgot to ask Lumian to leave his exclusive seat.

Lumian briefly explained the situation of his pocket watch being delayed by one minute and Magician's reply to Lady. Franca was amazed and fascinated.

After talking about "Angel of Time", Lumian thought for a moment and said, "At the party, 'Loki' did not hide his appearance very well. I suspect that he has abilities similar to 'Face of Niser' or 'Lie'."

Franca nodded:

"If he is really a formal member of the Eighth Bureau, then I think he should be the Beyonder of 'Seer' Pathway, or at least the 'Faceless' of Sequence 6. Your 'Lie' corresponds to this Sequence. Well, many of the Beyonder of the Eighth Bureau are 'Seer' Pathway."

"What's 'Faceless' above 'Magician'?" After Lumian got "Lie", he suspected that it belonged to "Seer" Pathway, but he didn't know the corresponding Sequence name.

"Yes, this Pathway has been weird and hard to kill since Sequence 7'Magician'. It is good at Change. By Sequence 5, its ability is even more terrifying. It can silently turn a person into a Marionette without self., the name is 'Marionettist'." Franca, who entered Mysticism World earlier than Lumian and joined "Tarot Club" earlier, obviously has more information about "Divine Pathway".

After Lumian communicated with Lumian about "Seer", Pathway and Franca for a while, they simultaneously fell into the trouble of how to find "Loki" in reality.

At this time, brisk footsteps went upstairs, and Jenna opened the door of Apartment 601.

She glanced at Lumian sitting on Armchair and Franca standing next to her, and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm thinking about a difficult problem." Lumian cut off the head and tail and told Jenna that he and Franca were tracking an enemy code-named "Loki" and encountered a lot of trouble. He finally asked, "What are your ideas?"

"Every method I can think of, you have rejected." Jenna shook his head in amusement.

Before the two companions could speak, she said thoughtfully, "Charles, you can think of yourself as 'Loki', as those guys who like to play tricks on others, think about all the things that happened before from their perspective, and see if you can find clues. Don't you also like pranks? You should have a common language with them."

My pranks are still very different from theirs...Lumian didn't say these words, trying to recall his motives, thoughts and mentality when he pranked Change, in order to analyze the behavior and purpose of the "April Fool's Day" team members.

After a moment, he frowned:

"All pranks are meant to gain joy when the target is embarrassed or hit. Those people use me, Older Sister, as the target of pranks, but cannot confirm the final result, and it is difficult to get real happiness from it...

"Similarly, if Franca is encouraged to explore Underground, how can they grasp Franca's movements and see her tragic ending? You know, even if Franca never goes to that Occult Gathering, it may be because of other things that the accident occurred."

The three people in the room all thought about this question:

If the person who made the prank does not see the ending of the prank, he will lack a sufficient sense of accomplishment and will not get the happiness he expected. And how can "Loki" and others rely on to determine what happened to Aurora or Franca?

After a while, Lumian said in a deep voice, "Either the prank is just a cover-up and they have other purposes for doing these things, or they have a way to monitor the corresponding target."

Franca Suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and subconsciously looked around the room.

"What can I do?" Jenna asked for her help.

Lumian shook his head slowly:

"I don't know, there might be a clue hidden in this."

During the exchange, which was sometimes silent and sometimes discussed, the three of them could never come up with an answer and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

On the way back to Breeze Ballroom, Lumian looked at Sunlight in the afternoon and asked tentatively, "Termiboros, can I find 'Loki' through 'Prophecy'?"

Termiboros's majestic and layered voice sounded:

"After you left Old Street, if you didn't do anti-tracking, you would have already encountered 'Loki'."
