The newly hired waiter
Lumian admitted that he felt somewhat Provocation.
But this is still acceptable. If his guess is correct, he and Albus will eventually meet again over the "0-01" incident. It's better for the "Abscessed Severed Hand" head to fall into the other's hands than for it to disappear without a trace and be hidden by an unknown person.
Lumian is now only regretting not taking direct Albus at the "Carnivore" Bar, he's hesitant, and wants to use him.
At the time, he could hardly have guessed that Albus had already obtained the head of the "Abscessed Severed Hand".
Lumian quietly activated the Black Mark representing "Spirit World Traversal," and once again sensed the subtle connection between the various body parts of the "Abscessed Severed Hand" and himself.
He hoped to use this opportunity to find Albus.
"The feedback is all pretty much the same, and it's impossible to tell which one is stronger or more likely to be the Severed-Hand Brother's head... Albus take appropriate measures to suppress the intensity of the feedback to some extent? Or did he completely block it out?" Lumian slowly exhaled, picked up the "Abscessed Severed Hand" ear from the black wooden box, and stuffed it into the "Traveler’s Bag".
He carefully examined the various traces around the Tomb, hoping to find some clues about Albus's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Albus was also a seasoned "Hunter," very adept at disposing of the traces he left behind.
Lumian composed himself and returned to the "Carnivore" Bar amidst the Dust and clouds brought by the Volcano eruption.
Just as he stepped through the gate, Les Human Flesh Chef who had somehow found some wooden planks and was rebuilding the wine Lies and bar, stopped working, picked up his hammer, turned around, and said to him, "I've hired a Waiter."
"You can decide for yourself." Lumian simply intended to live off the bar's three meals a day and free lodging under the guise of Boss, and didn't care at all whether the Bar could succeed.
Lies dutifully added, "You know her, Julie, who came in with us."
That "Collector"? Lumian almost choked on his own saliva.
Why would a man like you hire a "Collector" as Waiter?
Don't you feel a chill down there?
Before Lumian could ask Lies what he thought, Julie came downstairs.
She had changed into a dark-colored, slit dress that she had somehow acquired, her breasts barely concealed beneath a layer of sheer fabric.
Her previously dirty face was washed clean, her long, loose brown hair was simply tied up, and her features were clearly reflected in Lumian's Eyes.
Lumian, who had been spending a lot of time with the two "Witch," was surprisingly amazed.
This female prisoner appeared neither perverted nor insane; she had long, thin brown eyebrows, brown eyes that seemed to hold pools of autumn water, delicate, fair skin, and a gentle, refined demeanor, which contrasted sharply with her alluring figure.
She was Women of unique beauty, and Lumian sensed an Charm that went beyond the norm.
She looks just like a "Witch"... Lumian couldn't help but marvel at how Julie had managed to create such a remarkable disguise using only the two simplest methods: getting herself dirty and letting her hair down.
Is this another Convergence Law of Beyonder Characteristics...? Lumian sighed, responding to Julie's tender, affectionate Eyes:
Why did you become Waiter at my Bar?
"I have to find a job to support myself." Julie smiled gently, as if she were talking about some city outside of Morola.
Lumian suddenly changed the subject:
Why do you like collecting men's... things?
Julie's normally gentle brown Eyes suddenly flashed with an indescribable madness, and the corners of her mouth turned up as she replied in a yearning tone, "I just want to take back what's rightfully mine."
Uh... another victim of the Witch Sect? Hmm, now she's become a perpetrator... She was also transformed from a man into Women, but unlike Franca, she's not as cheerful, suffering from more serious psychological problems that led to her abnormal hobbies? As Lumian made these guesses, he tentatively determined that Julie should be a "Witch," and her Sequence shouldn't be too low, at least Sequence 6 "Pleasure Witch."
Lumian then began to have doubts:
"Your way of ' Pleasure ' is to rape Men and, just as they're about to lose control and climax, cut them off, letting them experience the feeling of instantly falling from Heaven into Abyss of Pain?"
"That does fit the essence of a ' Pleasure Witch,' but it's too direct and crude, lacking complexity and subtlety, and missing that beauty of inner struggle..."
How did the Church of Knowledge manage to send a ' Witch ' in as an ordinary rapist and murderer?
"Intentional?"
"Well, based on my current knowledge of Mysticism, at the top of each set of interchangeable Divine Pathway, there are one or two Great Ones who wield the power of all Sequence within that Pathway, just like Mr. ' The Fool,' ' Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth,' ' Great Mother,' and ' Mother Tree of Desire '..."
"From this perspective, it's understandable that the ' Primordial Witch, ' who is adjacent to the ' Hunter ' Pathway, would want to seize '0-01.' It might even be an inevitable outcome. According to the ' Magician ' Lady, '0-01' is a key item for advancing to ' Red Priest ' and becoming True God of the ' Hunter ' Pathway..."
"In this situation, if the Witch Sect can discover Morola's existence, they will definitely send a ' Witch ' who is not at the Half-God level to infiltrate this place..."
Why didn't they send someone before, instead of having Julie and me Banishment together?
"This is because the Divine Revelation of the ' Primordial Witch ' told them that only by following me could they possibly enter Morola. After all, I was specially sent by the Church of Knowledge, and there won't be any checks or verifications along the way?"
"No, it's more likely that Julie wasn't the first, or even the second, ' Witch ' to Morola, but the previous Witch all failed in their missions and gradually lost contact with the Witch Sect..."
"If that's the case, it would be much easier and simpler for the ' Witch ' to control the Mirror World than for me to contact the outside world through the ' Mirror Buckle ' and ' Mirror Image Mark.' In other words, Julie must have a lot of information accumulated beforehand and a certain action plan..."
"Perhaps I can find the opportunity and way to make contact with '0-01' and leave my Brand through her..."
Thinking of this, Lumian looked at Julie, whose Eyes still held a trace of madness, and said with a smile, "I don't care what you want to take back, or why you want to take it back. Since you've chosen to be Waiter in my Bar, you must abide by my rules."
"Rule number one: No harassment of customers during Bar hours."
Julie looked a little aggrieved, but her Eyes were unusually bright, filled with anticipation.
"Are they harassing me?"
"Lies will be in charge of throwing them out. If they dare to fight back, Lies knows how to cook them, and he'll leave you the part you want," Lumian said casually. "You can also choose to go find them and settle things yourself after the Bar closes."
Julie licked her lips and asked, "And the second one?"
"Don't bother the Boss." Lumian walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor. "Lies will discuss the specific salary with you."
Julie was slightly disappointed:
"I also want to see if the thing I lost is on you."
Before Lumian could respond, she continued, "Is it considered harassment to invite you to view my collection?"
"Not interested," Lumian replied succinctly.
He initially determined that Julie's crimes were not intentional acts committed in order to be Banishment to Morola.
She has this kind of fetish; she appears gentle and beautiful, but her heart Distortion and insane.
After Evernight, Julie finished the dinner Lies had prepared and said with great praise, "I've decided to seduce you one last time."
Her seduction was deadly.
Lies was a little disappointed, but still earnestly made his request:
"If you are ever killed, can you leave your body to me?"
"Okay." Julie nodded without any hesitation, her movements elegant, her posture gentle, and her smile subtle.
She immediately looked at Lumian, blinked, and said, "Boss, the Bar hasn't reopened yet, can I go out tonight?"
"That's your freedom." Lumian took a sip of strong wheat liquor to suppress the sudden turmoil within him.
He was now certain that Julie was the "Witch of Pain" because she had just used "Fascination" on him.
He planned to ruthlessly "Harvest" Julie if she tried to get closer to him again.
Only by Intimidation this "Witch of Pain" with strength and ruthlessness can we keep her in line.
Julie wiped her mouth with a white napkin, stood up, and walked straight out of the "Carnivore" Bar.
After a few seconds, Lumian suddenly disappeared from beside the dining table.
He first "Teleportation," then transformed into Shadow Creature and began to silently follow Julie.
Julie walked with a very ladylike gait, and as she approached the Square where the Exiles had gathered, she acted as if she were drunk.
The Exiles were all captivated by this "Witch," and some middle-aged men rushed forward to strike up a conversation with Julie.
Julie, clearly drunk, flicked her finger:
I challenge you to a duel.
"Great!" The burly man looked delighted, then helped Julie leave and return to his home.
Before the other Exiles could react or even attempt a duel, they had lost track of the two.
Lumian didn't lose him; he hid outside the burly man's window.
He heard Julie moan like a kitten, completely different from the rough and crazy image he had imagined.
Thanks to the endurance of an "Ascetic," Lumian showed no abnormality until the burly man shouted loudly, seemingly nearing the end.
The next second, a piercing scream erupted in the room, filled with extreme Pain.
Soon, Julie emerged from the room, her face flushed, her Eyes sparkling, her beauty so exquisite it was almost overwhelming.
She took a bloody object, froze it inside glistening ice, and placed it in a small cloth bag.
Lumian continued to follow Julie, but the "Witch" did not counter-follow, and they arrived at the large Square outside the Knowledge Church.
She seemed to be waiting for something.
After an unknown amount of time, a group of enforcers shrouded in Black Robe emerged from the Church. The leader was a tall, fair-skinned, and demurely beautiful Women.
Julie's eyes lit up, and her face instantly glowed.
She Past towards the group of law enforcement officers, excitedly calling out to the leader, "Sallys!"
That One tall Women in the black robe glanced at Julie indifferently and asked in a flat voice, "Who are you?"
Julie's expression froze.
