Night
Memorial Hall District, In an empty house.
Angoulême·De·François, wearing a Lion hood, stood by the window, staring at the Gas Streetlamps below, waiting patiently.
After the "lost contact" incident, he and "Sleeve Sword" changed their emergency contact methods so that if the Telegram group could not function, they could contact each other quickly even without relying on the help of "Hella" Lady Messenger.
Yesterday morning, as soon as he finished handling the case related to Moran Avni, he immediately tried to find "Sleeve Sword".
Finally, "Sleeve Sword" Franca wearing his own Assassin suit came out of the shadows.
Angoulême asked directly without exchanging pleasantries, "Did you take away Moran Avni?"
"Otherwise?" Franca asked with a smile.
Although "Supervisor" Perle said the Whirlpool Incident was like a sharp sword hanging above her head, which made Franca not relax because Moran Avni was dead and she had obtained enough information, but she would not lose her mood and become heavy and impatient.
Major Arcana people will naturally worry about such serious-sounding things. You and others only need to follow the instructions and complete the corresponding tasks. There is no point in worrying.
Moreover, the information harvested this time is very important and valuable. Whether it is "Eternal Blazing Sun", Church, or Witch Sect, it must be expressed!
Franca is looking forward to this.
"It's really you..." Angoulême couldn't help but sigh.
"Sleeve Sword" and her team are really strong in action. They said they wanted to deal with the minister of a country, but they actually took action not long after, and they succeeded.
Franca simply helped Lumian cover up:
"We were originally waiting for Moran Avni to walk into that Mirror on his own. Who knew, 'Aurora Order' people suddenly came to assassinate him, forcing him to step into our trap in advance."
Based on the situation at the scene, Angoulême gently nodded and said, "It turns out to be a coincidence..."
This is consistent with many details currently confirmed by "Purifier".
Angoulême asked instead, "Where is Moran Avni?"
"Dead." Franca clicked his tongue and said, "He is indeed 'Person in the Mirror', and he gave a lot of important information."
"What information?" Angoulême asked.
Franca smiled "hehe", raised his right hand, and rubbed his thumb and index finger gently:
"Where's my informant fee?"
Angoulême said angrily and funny, "Don't forget, I also made a lot of contributions to the operation of Moran Avni. Even if Spoils of War cannot be identified, it should be okay to listen to the information, right?"
Franca, who always prides himself on being fair when it comes to "distributing equipment", cleared his throat in embarrassment:
"Just a joke, just a joke.
"However, that information is indeed very important. Your boss will definitely reward you. Don't forget to ask for the informant fee for me!"
"You speak first." Angoulême responded in a deep voice.
It's not that he was stingy about the informant fee, but "Sleeve Sword" emphasized the importance of the information twice, which made him a little eager to know.
Franca concealed the details related to "Tarot Club" and "Aurora Order". Starting from the capture of Yebus, it continued to the appearance of Person in the Painting of "Supervisor" Perle and Lumian's speculation on the whole matter.
Angoulême was relatively calm at first, and the questions of "Person in the Mirror" were barely within the range of speculation and deduction by "Purifier". But wait until Moran Avni The leader who was defrauded of "Person in the Mirror" was Roselle·Gustav in the mirror. He felt his head buzzing, which continued uninterrupted and became louder and louder.
"Sleeve Sword"How come they always encounter such big events?
"Hostel" incident has only been Past so long, why is there another "Whirlpool" incident?
When Franca finished speaking, Angoulême couldn't help but raise his right hand and pinched the swollen forehead that was blocked by Lion's headgear. He felt so complicated that he couldn't say a word.
"How about it? Whirlpool Plan, 'Person in the Mirror' and the information on the hidden traitor are all important, right?" Franca asked slightly proudly.
Seeing Angoulême's eyes solemn and his mouth moving slightly, as if rubbing Teeth, Franca reflexively added, "Don't rely on me!"
"It's not us who caused these problems, but the special nature of Trier itself that causes various problems. We are also the victims!"
Angoulême breathed out slowly and said, "I will submit this information tonight.
"I will not forget to convey her request to my informant. What do you want?"
When Vocabulary mentioned "tonight", Angoulême's emotions suddenly agitated and he paused for a second.
He just finished his work today and left Saint Viève Church an hour ago, and now he is going back again!
"I am Secret Agent'007', not a social beast who works from zero to zero every day, seven days a week!" Angoulême cursed in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm, reliable, and emotionally stable.
Franca thought about it seriously and said, "All the materials of 'Pleasure'Potion."
She thought about it, her "Pain" Potion could be rewarded by the Witch Sect, but Jenna could not, so she could only rely on the official.
"Aren't you already 'Pleasure'?" Angoulême muttered, gave up asking, nodded and said, "I will help you fight for it."
He didn't ask "Sleeve Sword" for whom he was preparing "Pleasure" or "Potion", just like he didn't ask "Sleeve Sword" and her companions why they could survive in front of a Half-God and Person in the Painting.
After getting the promise from "007", Franca felt happy:
Take "Pleasure" from "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church as a reward, and take "Pain" from the Witch Sect as a reward, "Judgement"Lady should also give it, one piece of information was sold three times... I can now understand the joy of Lumian receiving three rewards for one mission!
Angoulême rubbed his forehead again and said to himself, "There are several Cardinal that are not 'Sun' Pathway, and there are even more in Diocesan Bishop. I really don't know what will be found next. I just hope that the scope of the impact will not be too large."
He is talking about the "April Fool's Day" Core Member inside "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church. With a clear direction, even if the other party completes something through "Broker", it is not difficult to find out.
Without waiting for Franca to respond, Angoulême thought for a moment and said, "The transaction of Humanoid Sealed Artifact has been approved. You can inform me of the transaction method at any time."
"Finally approved..." Franca, after denigrating the long process full of bureaucracy, asked curiously, "What's the story about that Humanoid Sealed Artifact?"
On Sea-Praying Ritual, she had seen the Humanoid Sealed Artifact and knew how powerful she was and how abnormal she was.
Angoulême shook his head:
"I'm not qualified to read that information. I only know that she used to be a Half-God of Spectator'Pathway, probably at the Sequence 4 level. Then she suddenly went crazy. But I'm not sure whether she was infected with Evil God Corruption because of her madness, or because she was infected with Evil God Corruption leads to madness."
"It should be the latter possibility." Franca said after thinking, "Don't Beyonder of 'Spectator' Pathway have stable emotions, so it's difficult to Loss of Control?"
Angoulême denied Franca's statement:
"In my opinion, Spectator generally does not cause problems, but when it does, it is very troublesome."
"Yes." Franca thought of "I Have a Friend".
After chatting for a few more words, Angoulême said goodbye to "Sleeve Sword" and left the empty room.
Before leaving the house, he quickly ran through the information he had just obtained in his mind, and then sighed in his heart with a heavy emotion:
"Trier's Mysticism incidents are too many, right?"
Market District, Jenna took the time to complete Acting of "Witch" again.
Wearing a black Cloak and a dark dress, she walked in the shadows of the street, looking for new Acting opportunities while thinking about more directions for Acting:
"'Witch' cannot be equated with doing bad things. Evil things and dark things do not mean bad things...
"Among the various Witch legends I have collected so far, a large part of them talks about Witch showing magic, using evil and dark abilities to help others achieve their wishes, and seducing people into corruption...
"There should be among these legends the deeds left behind by the Witchs when they were Acting'Witch'. You can consider Imitation. Moreover, the temptation to fall is also a deepening of 'Instigator'. The Acting of 'Pleasure' will also make the target fall...
"Well, the magical power of evil and darkness tempts and degenerates, and depravity brings Calamity..."
Jenna's ideas gradually became clearer.
After thinking about it, she transferred to Messy Street, intending to look for opportunities for Acting"Witch" in this most unstable street.
After walking a few steps, Jenna suddenly heard someone hysterically singing loudly:
"Trier covered with gold,
"Ball that stays open until dawn;
"The fat and oily roast chicken,
"A cake like Castle;
"Waiter wearing a bow tie shuttled among the guests,
"Stepping on joyful dance steps.
"My beloved is among them,
"It's among them.
"This is City of Joy, this is Eternal Trier!"
This voice...Jenna raised his head in the shadows, looked at Golden Rooster Inn, and saw Lumian wearing a brown thick jacket sitting on the windowsill of Third Floor, holding a Glass Bottle filled with green liquid in his hand.
Didn't he go to "Aurora Order" and never come back? Jenna frowned slightly and left the shadow.
Lumian also saw her, smiled, jumped down from Third Floor, and landed steadily in front of her.
"Why are you here?" Jenna asked with concern.
Lumian smiled nonchalantly and said, "I suddenly missed this place. Come back and have some drinks."
Feeling a strange excitement in Lumian, Jenna asked after careful consideration, "What happened?"
"No." Lumian denied without hesitation and emphasized again, "I'm fine."
He carried the bottle of Absinthe and walked towards the exit of Messy Street. Jenna followed him quietly without asking any more questions.
Under the shining of Crimson Moonlight and sporadic Gas Streetlamp, Lumian, who had been silent for a while, suddenly smiled and declared:
"I'm going to start Blasphemy.
"No, it's already started."
He didn't turn around and kept walking forward.
"Aren't you Blasphemy all the time?" Jenna carefully used Lumian's usual self-deprecation as a test.
Lumian still looked at the darkness ahead, and replied with a clear smile, "This time is different."
He quickened his pace and did not mention the matter again.
Jenna glanced at Lumian's leather boots, which were stained with a lot of Mire, and then looked at the surrounding environment, which was dirty but not wet. He pursed his lips and did not ask any further questions.
Lumian continued walking, sometimes humming a few words, sometimes chatting and joking with Jenna, always with a clear smile on his face.
He walked all the way back to the rented Apartment and entered his room.
Jenna stopped quietly in the living room and watched Lumian close the bedroom to Wooden Door.
In the dark room with only a little Crimson Moonlight shining in, Lumian sat in front of Desk, spread out the letter paper, and picked up Fountain Pen.
He did not light Gas Wall Lamp, nor create a fire ball of Blazing White. Surrounded by Pitch-Black, with a faint light, Fountain Pen fell.
Amidst the rustling sound of the pen tip Paper, the smile on Lumian's face quickly disappeared, and the wrist that moved the pen became slower and slower.
Finally, he wrote the unusually short letter:
"Dear'Magician'Lady:
"I want to see you."
