Lumian quickly looked around, and saw only a few scattered Gas Streetlamps and the red Flames still shining on Burning. There were crowds of people in the distance, and no one dared to get close. The part in the front could not open its eyes because of the stimulation of "Sun".

In such a scene, neither the man suspected of "Loki" nor the "passerby" who sang Aria could be traced.

"It was raised by a sow, and it ran away?" Lumian was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but cursed.

They ran away without even having a real fight?

Missing a hit and immediately disengaging?

"Fuck, does it belong to Rat? Not only is it slippery, but if there is any disturbance, it will run away and no one can be seen!" Franca moved closer to Lumian while using a strange, forced translation. The vocabulary cursed, "'Seer' and 'Thief' Pathway's Beyonder are indeed interchangeable adjacent Pathway. The styles are too similar, right?"

This is mainly reflected in the fact that the main body cannot be defeated and the true master cannot be caught.

The difference is that "Seer" Pathway has been like this since Sequence 7, while "Thief" Pathway may have to wait until the door of Divinity is opened and promoted to Sequence 4.

Lumian's mind was racing with thoughts, thinking about how to find the traces of "Loki" and his Marionette.

They may have left, or they may still be lurking in Messy Street in the evening!

"Marionette...

"Yes, the Marionette who sang Aria hard-wired my 'Heng-Ha Art', but it was not affected. This means that he is most likely dead, and there is no active and awake Spirit Body..."

"My experience of being almost transformed into Marionette just now indirectly confirmed this...

"Since Marionette is the deceased, there should be no living Destiny, and there is no so-called Fortune. Even if there is, it will be frozen in darkness, which represents death...

"Can't find 'Loki' with the ability of 'Faceless', you can start with his Marionette!"

Thinking of this, Lumian concentrated his energy and carefully observed the Fortune of the citizens ten or twenty meters away.

He swept past them, and directly passed over anything that had its own Destiny and was not a piece of Pitch-Black.

After a quick browse, Lumian found no target suspected of being Marionette.

He sighed slowly, disappointedly.

"Get out of here first, the firefighters to put out the fire are coming soon, and Official Beyonder should be on the way too." Franca reminded Lumian.

Lumian withdrew his gaze and turned away from Messy Street before the red Flames went out.

He planned to make a half-circle and then return to Golden Rooster Inn, hand over the defrauded money recovered from "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall to the bankrupt businessman Fitz, and take his own share according to the agreed ratio.

After walking for more than ten steps, Mr. Roul who died of infection and Mrs. Michel who hung herself singing City of Joy songs suddenly appeared in Lumian's mind.

He is worried that he will bring Calamity involving extraordinary power to Golden Rooster Inn and Commissioner Fitz.

Aurora has portrayed a very Vile perverted Criminal in two of his novels. They like to start killing the people they value, and let him watch his friends around him die tragically one after another.

"Loki", as the leader of "April Fool's Day", likes to play with other people's minds and has no psychological barriers to harming his companions, let alone killing innocent people he has never met before. Therefore, he failed in the first attack. There is a high probability that he will start with Lumian's acquaintances, use their deaths to break the target's spirit, secretly watch him lose Rationality, become crazy, and then use this opportunity to save Harvest's life.

Although this was only a possibility, Lumian didn't want to take a chance, so he stopped and turned to Market Avenue.

"What's wrong?" Franca asked in confusion.

Lumian has initially calmed down and said with a smile, "Go to Breeze Ballroom for a drink."

Those Gang members that you often come into contact with are dead as well. Gang members must have this kind of awareness!

Franca was stunned for a moment and roughly understood Lumian's concerns:

Because he caught a big fish but failed to catch it, "Loki" has obviously grasped the true appearance of the two of them. He can always hide in the dark and wait for the right opportunity to come, while Lumian and herself can't be caught unless m·hetushu. o·cm Give up your current identity, make full use of Anti-Divination and anti-tracking capabilities, and change your place to survive. Otherwise, you will fall into a state of random guessing when you see the Rat around you and think it will attack you.

Compared with Golden Rooster Inn, which has a lot of people, the second floor of Breeze Ballroom is relatively clean and more conducive to prevention.

Moreover, once a battle breaks out on a transcendent level, it is better to affect the members of Gang than to affect Ordinary Person.

"I will also go back and change my clothes." The subtext of Franca is that he also wants to change his appearance and hide in a dark place so that "Loki" cannot find it to avoid possible attacks.

Similarly, she will ask Jenna to go back and live with her brother for a while to avoid being affected.

Facing this weird and terrifying enemy, "Instigator"'s ability to survive is still too weak.

Lumian patted Franca "Mirror Substitute" hidden inside the clothes with his right hand, telling the other party to always pay attention to each other's rough situation.

Franca nodded solemnly to show that he understood.

Breeze Ballroom, Café on the second floor.

Lumian sat at the innermost position away from the window and said to his bodyguard Sakota: "Go to Golden Rooster Inn and call a bankrupt businessman named Fitz over."

With such a transfer, Fitz seems to have achieved its goal with the help of Savoie Gang, and has no personal relationship with Charles·Dubois. If "Loki" really chooses a victim, it will definitely be from Savoie Gang members who are affiliated with Lumian.

Lumian was stroking the heavy satchel on his lap, waiting for Fitz to arrive, while thinking about issues related to "Loki".

With no trace of leader That One "April Fool's Day", he could only look for clues from certain phenomena in this matter.

One of the details is the option that Lumian has preset before taking action:

"If 'Loki' was really caught, why was it possible to get rid of the 'April Fool's Day' leader by relying on anti-tracking skills last time, but not this time?"

After Lumian broke away from "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall, he deliberately completed the entire anti-tracking process just like last time. https://m. hetushu·com. com, and changed back to his original appearance, changed his clothes, and modified his satchel. When he passed through Old Street again and met Franca, he stopped tracking him in order to set up a sample for comparison and find out the differences.

Otherwise, if he failed to catch the weird and hard-to-kill "Loki", wouldn't he have lost "Fishing"?

There has to be something else to gain!

This is a small trap hidden in a big trap.

"According to normal logic, since my last anti-tracking process was able to get rid of 'Loki', this time should be no exception. After all, I not only paid attention to the people and animals around me, but also avoided the birds in the sky. Even if there is a bug that turns into 'Loki', Marionette will be thrown away because it can't keep up with my speed...

"So, either Franca was targeted early on, or I was recognized by 'Loki' when I passed through Old Street again after completing the anti-tracking.

"Franca did Anti-Divination, even far away from 'Alone' Bar and 'Different from the Rest' Dance Hall He did not enter Old Street, but used non-Mysticism means to observe. It is unlikely to be exposed soon, unless 'Loki' knew that there would be such a Observer from the beginning...

"The most likely possibility is that I was recognized when I was wearing Old Street, but how did he recognize me? Not only did I change back to my original appearance and change my clothes, but in order not to be suspected, I chose to pass by in Hired Carriage. According to Anthony, this allows people outside to see my unchanged leather shoes, and also hides my habitual walking posture and body language...

"I even put on some perfume to cover up the smell...

"What unchangeable characteristics do I have that allow 'Loki' to recognize me in a short time?"

Lumian Comparing the differences before and after, we gradually came up with some guesses:

"Either 'Marionettist' or one of his Marionettes can directly identify a person from the level of soul, consciousness, etc., or 'Loki' can discover the characteristics of me that are different from others, the Angel of Fate, the seal of Mr. 'The Fool', or the aura of 'Blood Emperor'?

"Although 'Lie' is also 'Seer' Pathway, the Sequence level corresponding to 'Loki' does not have an obvious Aggregation force that can be intuitively sensed..."

The more Lumian thinks about it, the more he feels that the reason is that "Loki" has a way to see through his disguise, but his tracking ability is limited, and he will be guarded against strangers, animals, birds and bugs, and he cannot get rid of targets Divination directly.

Regardless of how "Loki" was discovered, this is the reason that best explains the comparison between the before and after situations.

For this reason, Lumian has a new idea.

He glanced at the already dark night sky, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Another quarter of an hour later, bankrupt businessman Fitz was brought to Café by Sakota.

Lumian signaled Sakota to leave here temporarily, and then said to Fitz, "The money has been brought back, how much do you think you can divide it?"

As he spoke, he poured Banknotes, gold and jewelry on the table, glanced at it a few times and said, "There are about 130,000 Felkine in total."

Fitz blurted out. "60,000, no, 50,000, no, just give me 30,000 Felkine."

Lumian smiled, pulled out a few bundles of tied Banknotes, and threw them to Fitz:

"According to the previous agreement, the interest will be mine and I will get 50% of the principal.

"Here is 50,000 Felkine."

Fitz took it in surprise and thanked him profusely.

Although he failed to get the full amount, 50,000 Felkine was enough for him to start a new life full of hope.

The remuneration of 50% of principal plus interest is so worth it!

Lumian also felt happy. Through the actions of "Angel of Time" next to Mr. "The Fool", he easily earned 50,000 Felkine Banknotes plus gold worth 30,000.

You know, he worked so hard to raise gold, but in the end he only had 75,000.

He seriously considered whether to buy some Sacrifice in the corresponding field. Thanks to Mr. "The Fool" and That One to "Angel of Time".

After waiting for more than half an hour, Lumian entered the bedroom also located on the second floor, threw away his satchel, and used "Lie" to change his appearance again, like the Black-Haired and Brown-Eyed version and Aurora, which is more like Men.

He put on his shirt, vest, trousers and leather boots, took off "Lie", transferred the "Torture" gloves into Briefcase, and looked at the situation outside the window.

After confirming that there were no humans, Rat, or birds, Lumian opened the window and jumped down lightly, as if he didn't know that "Loki" could directly see through his disguise.
