Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian, who was confused, didn't think much, rolled up his sleeve, exposed his right arm, and scratched it with "Fallen Mercury".

After a brief period of numbness, there was pain that he had tasted many times, but he did not frown and watched as bits of blood overflowed, staining the silver-black tip of the knife red.

Almost at the same time, a mercury illusory river composed of countless complex symbols appeared in front of Lumian's eyes, and the destiny water droplets stored in the evil dagger leached from the tip of the knife and flowed into the not-deep wound.

Lumian concentrated his energy and tried his best to distinguish the fate he wanted to exchange.

He "saw" himself receiving treatment, "saw" himself falling asleep after venting his emotions, and "saw" himself going to find Aosta. Trull's own.

This scene flashed through Lumian's mind, as if he had actually witnessed it with his own eyes.

Not long after, he found himself walking outside the catacombs and meeting the ghost of Monsouli in the fate of the past few days.

He quickly picked up the tip of the "Corrupted Mercury" and let it pierce the complex symbols that seemed to be formed by the self-tangled mercury rivers.

That fate was quite heavy, and Lumian failed to change it in the first attempt.

Seeing that the illusory river was gradually disappearing, and the pictures in his mind were getting more and more vivid, he quickly poured most of his spirituality into the blade of "Corrupted Mercury".

Finally, as he pried for the second time, the fate of "encountering the ghost of Montsourie" broke away from the illusory long river of mercury and shrank inward into small droplets, just like the mercury beads after a thermometer was broken.

The illusory drop of water quickly merged into the silver-black dagger.

It was only then that Lumian truly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had gotten rid of the Monsuri ghost, and that the "Corrupted Mercury" could now be called the "Cursed Blade" again.

He had just simply treated the wound when he suddenly had a wonderful intuition.

Following this intuition, Lumian once again walked out of the "Golden Rooster Hotel", passing between the drunkards who were yelling and crying and the two groups fighting fiercely, all the way back to Nightingale Street, and stopped at the place where Maggot was fighting. Outside that alley.

He frowned, entered carefully, and climbed over the barricade.

The next second, Lumian's eyes naturally fell on the shadow of the corner.

In that place ruled by darkness, something lay quietly.

Lumian, who had some understanding, quickly walked over, squatted down, and picked up the item with his gloved left palm. It was a bulging brown leather wallet.

"What Maggot lost? The money his men collected and handed over to him?" Lumian probably understood how the exchanged fate was realized.

Although he couldn't remember whether Maggot dropped his wallet during the fierce fight with him, whether it was dropped at that time or "replaced" later, it did not affect Lumian's ability to get the money.

He took out the thick stack of banknotes, poured out the gold, silver and copper coins in the coin bag, then threw down the wallet and left the alley.

After returning to Room 207 of the "Golden Rooster Hotel", Lumian lit the carbide lamp and carefully counted the loot.

He collected a total of 1265 Firkin and 15 Cope, most of which were 10 Firkin and less than 10 Firkin banknotes, only one 200 Firkin, one 100 Firkin and two 50 Firkin of banknotes, and a few gold louis. After staring at the money for a few seconds, Lumian said sincerely: "Accepting 10 donations from well-wishers is not as good as killing a gang leader." Of course, not all of the money belongs to Maggot, he only controls them on behalf of the Stinger Gang. .

Lumian then pulled out a stack of small bills worth a total of 200 Firkin, took them out of room 207, and climbed up the stairs.

In less than a minute, he arrived on the fourth floor and stood in front of room 8.

He remembered that Maggot went to the "Golden Rooster Hotel" in the evening to take away most of the money she earned from an illegal prostitute named Yin Sangsi.

At that time, one of Maggot's subordinates should have been specifically responsible, but later, the money must have been handed over to Maggot.

Lumian didn't knock on the door. He bent down and stuffed the stack of banknotes through the crack of the door piece by piece.

He quickly straightened his back, turned towards the stairs, and disappeared into the dark corridor.

Lumian slept until six o'clock and heard the church bell ringing.

He slept very soundly last night, and he even felt as if the "Provocateur" potion had digested a little more.

"Go to Aosta Trull in the morning to see if Mr. K has any reply, and buy some better clothes and cosmetics in the observatory area. In the afternoon, go to the cheap ready-made clothing store in Candide Market..." Lumian There was no rush to get up, and he lay there quietly, thinking about today's arrangements.

After getting rid of the threat of Montsuri's ghost, he put it on his agenda to disguise himself again.

After staying in bed for a while, he slowly went out, went to the bathroom to clean himself up, then went downstairs and bought half a liter of apple cider and a bun filled with pork sausage from the vendors.

After filling his stomach, he went to the nearest church square, found a deserted corner, and practiced the fighting skills taught by Aurore.

It was not until 9:30 in the morning that Lumian returned to the "Golden Rooster Hotel", planning to rest for an hour before looking for Aosta. Trull.

As soon as he entered the hotel lobby, he saw three cleaning maids cleaning various dirty places under the command of Mrs. Fells.

The hotel owner hires someone to clean every Monday. Lumian looked away and walked towards the stairs.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard upstairs.

In less than ten seconds, Charlie, wearing a linen shirt, dark trousers, and strapless leather shoes, appeared in Lumian's eyes. "You didn't go to the hotel?" Lumian asked slightly confused.

"Don't you know? I have today off.

"We can take one day off a week and choose which day it is."

Lumian laughed: "Will this day off lead to a reduction in Mrs. Alice's monthly salary?"

Charlie smiled slightly awkwardly: "She also has her own entertainment."

While the two were chatting, a stench came from the door, and the short, ragged, and gray-haired Ruel and Michelle walked into the hotel.

"You didn't go to the steam train station?" Charlie greeted warmly.

Ruhl first approached them, then kept a somewhat cautious distance.

"The market area is a bit chaotic today, we plan to take a day off."

"What's wrong?" Lumian asked out of curiosity.

Rule lowered his voice unconsciously: "Maggot from the Stinger Gang is dead. Many gang members are looking for someone. People from other gangs may clash with them at any time. There are also a lot of police coming."

"Margot is dead?" Charlie blurted out in shock.

He just thought this guy deserved to die yesterday, and he died today?

Ruel nodded solemnly: "Hey, I can't go out to make money today."

His wife, Mrs. Michelle, comforted him: "You don't have to go out and have lunch, so you can save some money."

Before Lumian could ask about the specific situation outside, Charlie turned around and ran upstairs.

Lumian turned his eyes slightly and followed.

With a kick, Charlie quickly climbed to the fourth floor and ran to room 8.

He took a breath and banged the wooden door.

"Who?" came a slightly hoarse female voice.

Charlie announced his name loudly.

Lumian saw this woman named Yin Sangsi for the first time. Her long flaxen hair fell down casually and hung on her shoulders. Her eyes of the same color were a little wary, and there was some nervousness on her face.

She is twenty-three or four years old, and her appearance is not outstanding. She can only be called delicate, but her face and clothes are neatly packed, and her long red dress reveals a large area of ​​fair skin on her chest.

Charlie excitedly said to Yin Sangsi: "Did you know? Maggot is dead!

"He's really dead!"

"" Yin Sangsi was stunned for a moment.

After a few seconds, her slightly hoarse voice turned sharp, "That devil is really dead?"

"Really." Charlie nodded without hesitation, "You can finally get rid of that demon! You can finally live like a normal person!"

Yin Sangsi looked around blankly, only seeing Lumian's emotionless eyes and Charlie's excited expression. "Dead, is he dead?" As she kept whispering, Yin Sangsi thought of the money that appeared strangely in her room. She began to believe that Maggot was really dead, and her eyes quickly drifted to the lake.

Her tears fell one drop after another, and she couldn't help but squat down and bury her face in her arms.

The sobbing sounded then, getting louder and more unbridled.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs.

Lumian looked sideways and saw a young man wearing a white shirt and a black jacket walking up. Behind him were the three thugs who had previously belonged to Maggot.

Said: "I am Wilson from the Stinger Gang. From today on, I will take care of you on behalf of Maggot."

Charlie's excited expression suddenly froze on his face.

Yin Sangsi's crying stopped suddenly.

She slowly raised her tear-filled face and saw Wilson's smile and the shadow brought by his body. A shadow so thick that it can't be melted away.

Lumi watched quietly, raising his head slightly.

On the way to the first floor, Charlie, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but ask, "Is the suffering of the poor really endless?"

"I like Aurore very much. A sentence written by Li." Lumian replied expressionlessly, "Sometimes, it is not us who are wrong, but the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, three people stomped up from the first floor.

They were all police officers wearing black uniforms, black vests, white shirts, and strapless leather boots.

The leading police officer, who was 1.85 meters tall, glanced at Charlie and Lumian and suddenly stopped. He stretched out his hand to press the gun on his waist and asked in a deep voice: "Charlie Corrente?"

Charlie was stunned for a moment: "It's me, police officer, what's the matter?"

The police officer winked at his companions and took out the steel handcuffs.

As the two companions outflanked him, he said to Charlie with a serious expression, "You are suspected of a murder, and we want to arrest you."

"Murder?" Charlie was shocked, frightened and confused.

Lumian also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Mrs. Alice is dead!"
