Another reminder

Lumian and Anthony did not have to wait long before the ministers left the Palace of Brotherhood one after another.

The two immediately rushed to Moran Avignon, the Minister of Ministry of Industry, listening to questions from other reporters while observing their target using their own methods.

After a dozen seconds, Lumian turned his head to look at Anthony and slowly shook his head.

He meant that, judging from the River of Destiny situation, there were no abnormalities for the time being.

He believed that the "Spectator" could understand what he was trying to express.

Anthony shook his head, indicating to Lumian that Moran Avignon's expression and posture were perfectly normal.

Has Yebus's That One "Supervisor" not contacted Moran Avignon yet? Or, is our guess wrong, and Yebus's death wasn't due to the "Supervisor's" supervision, and they haven't yet grasped Yebus's current situation? Lumian's mind raced as he continued to observe.

This is why he insisted on personally waiting for Moran Avignon outside the Palace of Brotherhood.

Only by obtaining the latest and most accurate intelligence can we determine whether to proceed according to the original plan, modify the plan, or temporarily abandon it!

Yes, in the River of Destiny, there is still a tributary that enters the Full-Length Mirror in the Study, shrouded in a rather dense darkness... Lumian, disregarding the depletion of his spiritual energy, keeps a close watch on the Change in Moran Avignon's Destiny.

After a brief interview, That One debonair Minister of Ministry of Industry, escorted by bodyguards, left the steps in front of the Palace of Brotherhood and walked towards his Four-Wheeled, Four-Seater, and highly artistic carriage.

While waiting for the valet to open the carriage door, Moran Avignon took out a palm-sized Mirror from his pocket, as if to check his current appearance.

For Trier's high society, this was so normal that no one would question it—men Makeup, styling their hair and makeup, was a trend that had lasted for a long time.

Moran Avignon looked at the Vanity Mirror in his hand, his dark gray pupils suddenly dilated, and his expression changed slightly.

Almost simultaneously, Lumian, with his silver-black eyes, noticed a dramatic Change in the Fate Branch of the Minister of Ministry of Industry:

No other Fate Branch led Moran Avignon to walk into the Full-Length Mirror in his Study!

The relevant "options" are all gone!

In this way, even if Lumian expended nearly half of his spiritual energy using his ability to "Push Destiny," he still couldn't make Moran Avignon "voluntarily" go into the Full-Length Mirror in the Study.

"Push Destiny" is not the same as creating Destiny; one must first make choices in order to take control!

Taking advantage of the fact that the reporters had changed their interviewees and that the two of them were slowly following along, Anthony lowered his voice and said to Lumian, "Moran Avignon showed obvious signs of fear after looking in the Vanity Mirror."

As Lumian moved along with the other reporters, he continued to scrutinize Moran Avignon, forming his own guesses:

Someone is using the Mirror World, using that Vanity Mirror, to send a message to Moran Avignon!

The information that was transmitted was likely that Yebus Rata, who was responsible for protecting the Full-Length Mirror in the Study, had died mysteriously and his Corpse was missing.

For Moran Avignon, this meant that someone was after him, a shadow had fallen over him, and the source and circumstances were unclear.

In this situation, he couldn't help but feel fear. For most people, emotions are more or less reflected in facial expressions and body movements, which are easily noticed by the "Spectator".

"Hmm, since Yebus has a ' Mirror Buckle,' it's normal for the ' Supervisor ' above him to have similar items, and they might even have the ability to transmit information using the Mirror World..." Lumian recalled the Glass Cufflink that had fallen into Franca's hands. "Moreover, Yebus said that Moran Avigni had the other ' Person in the Mirror ' who split off from the Tamara Family change their identities and move to other places, leaving only himself to contact the people of the ' School of Truth.'"

"In this way, after the ' Supervisor ' discovered Yebus's mysterious disappearance and eventual death, they were unable to contact the other ' Person in the Mirror ' and could only wait for Moran Avignon to finish his Ministers' Meeting and receive the reminder message from him..."

"Our previous speculation has been confirmed. Yebus's death was indeed caused by the ' Supervisor's' supervision. Whether That One ' Supervisor ' was limited by its own abilities or interfered with by the ' Primordial Witch's' Statue, it failed to lock onto us and launched a counterattack on the spot..."

"The original plan has to be abandoned; now we can't get Moran Avignon to 'voluntarily' enter the Full-Length Mirror in the Study..."

Lost in thought, Lumian saw Moran Avignon put away her Vanity Mirror, board the carriage, and head back towards her home.

Taking advantage of the still chaotic scene, he and Anthony quietly left the area where the Palace of Brotherhood was located.

At the edge of a Square lined with Statues and Obelisk, Lumian looked around, and seeing no one nearby, whispered to Anthony:

What do you think Moran Avignon is afraid of?

He has already shared his predictions about the current situation with Anthony.

Anthony attempts to analyze the "School of Truth" and Moran Avignon's psychological state from the perspective of the "Spectator":

"Given the unknown nature of the enemy, it's unlikely that the ' School of Truth,' a Concealment organization that worships Evil God, would send additional Half-God- level powerhouses to Moran Avignon's vicinity to provide better and more reliable protection for this ' Person in the Mirror.' After all, they are not the Church the Orthodox God, which can act recklessly and constantly increase their bargaining chips. They must consider the possibility that the forces that captured Yebus are also as powerful as Half-God, and may even suspect that this might be a secret operation by the ' Purifier,' the ' Machinery Hivemind,' or the elite team of the Eighth Bureau."

"In other words, That One ' Supervisor ' will tell Moran Avignon that he will have to rely on himself from now on. We will provide some indirect assistance, but we can't come directly to him."

"Other Evil God Cult might go mad, become extreme, or lose their Rationality, yet still protect Moran Avignon, but judging from the ideas Yebus describes, the ' School of Truth ' will not."

"That's why Moran Avignon couldn't contain his fear; it was tantamount to being abandoned." Lumian nodded slightly.

Anthony continued his analysis:

We must also consider the special point that Moran Avignon is a ' Person in the Mirror '.

"The ' Person in the Mirror ' I encountered before, besides having their own needs, also showed a certain fanaticism towards the That One they followed and the overall purpose."

"My observation just now is that Moran Avignon was indeed terrified, but he was able to control himself to some extent. When he stepped into the carriage, he looked determined and resolute."

Lumian said with a hint of realization, "He's considering sacrificing himself?"

He would immediately notify the other "Person in the Mirror" to go into hiding, while he himself, under tight official protection, could not escape and could only remain in place, within the sight of hostile forces, praying for good luck and that the official protection would be effective enough.

"Heh, at a time like this, protection is tantamount to another form of imprisonment for him."

Anthony changed the subject:

"After Moran Avignon's Destiny changed, which tributary became stained black?"

Lumian shook his head:

No at the moment.

"This is a very special case, indicating that it will only become apparent when Moran Avignon makes a new choice, causing a new Fate Branch to emerge."

After this exchange, Lumian slowly exhaled and said, "It's not clear what other opportunities there are right now. It would be a good thing if the ' Supervisor ' were to act rashly and try to protect Moran Avignon. The ' Black Witch ' is probably waiting for him to come."

"Okay, let's go find Jenna and Franca first."

Inside the Quarry Cavern where the fixed entrance to the Mirror World is located.

Franca, who was waiting patiently, saw strands of black hair emerge from the mirror once again, only to fall down one after another.

The figure of "Black Witch" Clarisse appeared, and said in a soft voice, "Currently, there are no Beyonder hiding behind the relevant Mirror; they should have already given up on Moran Avignon."

"I can't offer any help right now. You need to rethink your plan and find a way to capture Moran Avignon amidst the heavy protection of the Official Beyonder without him entering the Mirror World."

"Do you have a way?" Franca wanted to ask, but fearing she would anger the "Black Witch," she could only reluctantly reply, "Okay."

It was prepared in advance and located in Safe House in the administrative district.

Jenna said to Lumian and Anthony, "' The Judgement ' Lady has asked us to hold off on further action for the time being. She needs to discuss the information she obtained from Yebus with the other Major Arcana."

"With the Hermit ' Lady?" Lumian muttered thoughtfully to himself.

He nodded slightly and said, "Now go find Franca."

After meeting up with Franca in the Underground Quarry Cavern, and exchanging their spoils, Lumian sighed, "We'll have to give up for now."

As soon as Franca and the others nodded in response, a magnificent, layered voice rang in Lumian's ears:

Don't you think you gave up too soon?

"Didn't you notice the problem?"

Termiboros... Why is He reminding me again, and not in some urgent situation that could endanger Him? Lumian couldn't help but frown.

Termiboros's deep voice continued, "Think about it, if you were the ' Supervisor,' what would you do in this situation?"

"Of course, we should reduce our manpower and go into Concealment to avoid giving the enemy any clues and tracing us back..." Lumian muttered to himself. "After doing that, what else can we do? How can we indirectly help Moran Avignon?"

Franca, Jenna, and Anthony watched Lumian mutter to himself, waiting for his final answer.

Suddenly, Lumian thought of a possibility.

He looked at his three companions and said in a deep voice, "' Dark Box Transaction '!"

"Protect Moran Avignon through a high-profile ' Dark Box Transaction '!"

"So, we all gave up for different reasons, and even the River of Destiny hasn't yet given Moran Avignon the tributary of Death Calamity!"
