A sense of stagnation

No! Lumian is both "Hunter" and "Dancer". His ability to control his body is very strong. Once an abnormal situation occurs that he is not aware of, he will immediately realize that something is wrong.

Almost at the same time, he felt that his thinking became stagnant, and his mind seemed to be shrouded in thick fog. Every thought was stuck, and it took a lot of effort to become clear:

"We were attacked...

"'Loki' is really here...

"This is the manifestation of 'Marionettist' ability?

"At the end, I couldn't think about it. Will I become his, Marionette?

"My Danger Sense, was deceived...

"Fuck, Thelmi, Boros, there's no way you didn't realize that my Destiny and Change didn't remind me...

"He deliberately told me before that 'Loki' almost followed me, just to make me do it again?

"I became 'Loki', the Marionette, to help Him get rid of the seal?

"We can't just wait, we must try our best to resist..."

"Where will 'Loki' be..."

In the midst of such a series of subconscious thoughts, Flash, Lumian put a hand into his pocket with some difficulty, and looked around stiffly.

He had discussed the situation of "Marionettist" with Franca before, and they agreed that the ability to "kill people silently" must have some limitations, otherwise it would obviously exceed Sequence 5's power. You have to open Saint of Door of Divinity to do it. Sequence 5 of the other Pathway that Franca knows cannot compete with it at all.

The two believe that this ability either requires a certain medium to be realized, or it must be effective at a very close distance. Just like "Ring of Punishment" and "Mental Piercing", the distance between the two parties must be within five meters to be effective.

At this moment, based on his own experience, Lumian suspected that "Loki" was hiding in the surrounding crowd, no more than ten meters away from him.

What caught his eyes were street vendors and pedestrians who were either stopping or passing by in a hurry. Some of their faces were familiar, and some were very unfamiliar. They were no different from usual situations.

In a hurry, Lumian couldn't distinguish "Loki" from these people. Moreover, this was a "Faceless" who was good at Change and disguise!

While searching for "Loki", he made a ball of Crimson Flames appear in the palm of his left hand.

The first is to see if cauterizing oneself and creating Pain can resist the control and erosion of "Marionettist". The second is to use this to "pose a question" and see how "Loki" will "answer", and to find out from his reaction his specific position and the weakness of his ability to create Marionette.

Just as the familiar pain popped into his mind, Lumian heard a snap of his fingers.

The red ball of Flames in his palm instantly collapsed and turned into a stream of light, unable to form anything that could explode.

Lumian turned around suddenly and tried to look at the place where he snapped his fingers.

But his joints were covered in sticky "Glue", and his movements became stiffer and stiffer.

This caused him to complete his turn a full second slower than expected. Everyone in the target area reflected in Eyes was normal, and no one could be seen snapping their fingers.

"'Marionettist', indeed, can control Flames...

"The pain has nothing to do with me, the gradual sluggishness of my thoughts, the stiffness and dullness of my body, it only improves my reaction speed a little bit..."

"We can't waste time on this aspect. At present, the most important thing is to find 'Loki'. Otherwise, no matter whether we use 'Heng-Ha Art', summon Mr. K, or wait for Franca to come to rescue, we will not be able to effectively change the status quo..."

"I don't know if 'Spirit World Traversal' can be used. If I try two or three times later and fail, I will give it a try and see if I can get 'Teleportation' out of 'Marionettist''s capabilities..."

Lumian's thoughts are getting more and more stuck and stagnant, but not to the point where he can't think, react, or avoid attacks.

Soon, he had rich combat experience and came up with ideas and methods:

"Judging from the current situation, 'Marionettist' really needs to be at a close range in order to gradually transform the target into Marionette..."

"In this case, then I will let no people or animals exist within ten meters!

"Whoever is, and still stays in, Flame Hell, is, 'Loki'!"

Lumian As soon as he thought about the current situation clearly, he immediately opened his mouth and shouted loudly, "Fire! Fire!"

Along with these words full of lag, waves of Crimson Flames surged out of Lumian's body.

With his feet as the center of the circle, they spread to the surroundings, crackling and burning the peels and other garbage on the ground.

Nearby street vendors and passers-by were warned in advance. After seeing the flames rising, they quickly reacted, took their belongings, and ran towards both ends of Messy Street.

Seeing such a scene, Lumian showed a delayed smile:

Yes, you can control Flames, but I don't do any refined operations now. My only action is to constantly ignite things around me and add various fire sources!

Moreover, sooner or later this will attract the attention of Official Beyonder!

Crimson Flames spread out in all directions, like a bright ocean slowly submerging the earth.

Although Lumian even had obvious lag in the movement of his eyes, he still saw a figure Flash that was constantly in the fire, unable to capture and difficult to lock on.

He had black hair and blue eyes, and his facial features were ordinary and unremarkable, no different from many clerks on the road.

After saying goodbye to Lumian, Franca walked towards White Coat Street.

Suddenly, she turned into an alley and hid in the shadows.

This "Pleasure Witch" began to sneak towards Messy Street.

This is the prior agreement between her and Lumian:

If the behavior of Forced Entry"Different from the Rest"Dance Hall fails to mobilize the in "Alone"Bar Beyonder, or if they didn't reveal their true identity, then after leaving Old Street, try "Fishing" again to see if you can "encounter" the target.

When Franca asked Lumian whether he wanted to counter-track, he was actually asking whether he should act as planned, and Lumian gave a very positive reply.

On the way to Messy Street, Franca in the shadow took out a side of Mirror.

That is "Mirror Substitute" made from the blood and hair of Lumian!

At this distance, "Mirror Substitute" cannot play the role of replacing death and injury, but it is related to the original owner's bloodline and has a strong connection with Mysticism, so it can be used to observe the rough status of Lumian.

To put it simply, if Mirror breaks suddenly, it means that Lumian is dead. If it has several deep cracks, it means that the original owner was seriously injured.

Similarly, Franca also placed a "Mirror Substitute" with Lumian, because they were not sure who "Loki" would choose as a target after the two were separated. They could only hide in secret while the other acted normally, and confirmed each other's status through "Mirror Substitute" and provided timely assistance.

This is a conclusion that cannot be drawn by observing Fortune. "Loki" who has a strong Anti-Divination ability must have made the corresponding Change to Destiny after making a decision.

After sneaking for a while, Franca suddenly felt that Mirror in his palm became cold.

She used "Darkvision" to penetrate the shadows and saw that the Mirror had turned gray, as if it was rusty and sunk to the bottom of Ice Lake.

Charles was attacked? Franca felt nervous and sped up.

When she rushed to Messy Street, she happened to see Flames spreading, a shadow of Daoist in red, Flash occasionally opening its mouth and making a "bang" sound.

This sound was very similar to real gunshots, which scared vendors and pedestrians to stay away, thinking that another Gang was involved in a fierce fight.

Lumian had a very difficult time dodging. He even failed twice and was brushed against his body by Air Bullet, leaving obvious scars.

But it can be seen that the Daoist shadow did not really want to hurt him. It seemed that it was worried that such behavior would cause problems with its own control before a certain point was reached.

Franca Seeing that Lumian was fine for the time being, he breathed a sigh of relief silently. In Hide in the Shadows, while approaching the combat area, he took out a Mirror.

After closing the distance, she escaped from the shadow, pointed Mirror at the clumps of Flames, and covered her right hand with Black Flame that had no warmth.

When the figures Flash to Mirror were reflected in the area, Franca immediately wiped his right hand towards the mirror.

Silently, the figure ignited Pitch-Black's Flames.

He quickly became thinner and smaller, turning into a beautifully cut Paper Person.

Among the crowd about ten or twenty meters away, this unusually ordinary-looking man in a black formal suit appeared.

At this time, Lumian's thoughts were no longer stagnant, and his body was also getting rid of that stiffness.

He suddenly disappeared and appeared on the side of the enemy suspected of being "Loki". The distance between the two sides was no more than seven meters.

Lumian then made a sound:

"Hmph!"

A ray of white light shot out from his nostrils and went straight to the ordinary man with black hair and blue eyes.

At the same time, Franca cooperated to condense a transparent Ice Crystal Spear and threw it to the area where the target was.

The white Frost spread rapidly from the ground where the spear was pierced, making the people around them feel cold and their bodies stiffened to a certain extent.

At this moment, a passerby with a thin face, brown hair and brown eyes blocked the man suspected of being "Loki" and was hit by the white light created by Lumian.

He was not unconscious, nothing happened to him, and he sang Aria with dull eyes:

"Oh, my Sun!"

In an instant, Lumian, Franca and others seemed to have a round of Sun rising in their minds, which made them unable to open their eyes and their thoughts became less active.

The two subconsciously dodge, or hide in the shadows while covering their bodies with the crystal clear and solid Frost, or roll directly to the side of the road, and use "Face of Niser" to change their appearance.

When "Sunlight" receded, they saw that the man suspected of "Loki" and the "passerby" who sang Aria were gone.

Vendors and pedestrians in the distance looked here in fear, while people closer had their eyes closed tightly and shed tears.
