Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Along the way, Lumian relied on his quick eyes and quick hands to avoid several waiters who came out with food or sent back used tableware.

Not long after, he approached the kitchen and saw the mess inside:

The unwashed dishes were piled haphazardly in the sink, layered on top of each other, covered in grease. The two dishwashing ladies stood there and kept cleaning;

Several stoves sprayed out yellowish flames, making this small area several degrees hotter than outside. Everyone was sweating and busy. Three chefs wore white aprons, cooking different dishes, and would cook different dishes from time to time. They pour them into the dinner plate, dip a little juice with their fingers or put a small piece of food into their mouth to taste the taste. After finishing this, they just wipe it on the apron and start cooking the second course, and get the chef The approved waiters picked up the corresponding plates and walked outside. Their thumbs often touched the dishes and soup, but they themselves were unaware and didn't care at all. Several helpers were surrounding the cabinet or chopping vegetables, They are processing fish, cleaning other ingredients, dumping garbage, or delivering condiments and other supplies. They are so busy that they can't stop. But no matter how hard they try, the kitchen still looks messy. On the floor, the stove There are a lot of vegetable leaves, fish scales and fruit peels scattered around and near the sink, which are full of oil. The main echoes here are the curses and shouts of the chef and the helper, which is very lively.

If Lumian closed his eyes and listened purely with his ears, he would probably think that this place was a messy battlefield.

Thanks to this situation, he easily avoided the busy people and came to the cabinets where various ingredients were stored. Then, with the help of baffles, handles, and gray-white gas pipes and water pipes, he climbed up to the ceiling and drilled into the ceiling. Enter the ventilation duct located there.

The strong smell of oil smoke suddenly penetrated Lumian's nose, almost causing him to faint due to his keen sense of smell.

Relying on the "mendicant monk's" ability to endure various extreme environments, Lumian forced himself to crawl forward along the ventilation duct, sometimes upwards. In just ten seconds, he walked from a bathroom on the second floor to The head poked out from above.

After confirming that no one was here, Lumian jumped down lightly, walked quickly to the door, and looked towards both sides of the corridor in a hidden way.

It was very quiet here, except for the two gangsters guarding the exit of the stairs. Their attention was all focused on where they came from on the first floor, not paying attention to the situation behind them at all.

Lumian breathed a sigh of relief, identified the destination, ducked down, and jumped to the room next to it.

The door there was locked tightly, but it didn't bother Lumian. He fiddled with the half piece of wire he carried with him and pushed open the wooden door.

Just like what Jenna described, the bathroom attached to "Iron Hammer" Aite's room did not have a window sill extending outward, only a decorative protrusion, which could barely allow a person to stand sideways.

Even for a "Hunter", it is quite difficult to jump from the window sill here to that bulge and stand firmly. Fortunately, Lumian is also a "Dancer" whose flexibility is so exaggerated that it is not human-like. .

He made a brief observation, jumped up, and accurately stepped on the bump with his right foot. However, the left side of his body lost a little balance and fell in the direction of the fall.

At the critical moment, Lumian's body shook like a spring and he crashed into the bathroom, grabbing the window frame with his right hand.

He stood firm and squatted down sideways, with only half of his head exposed, and quietly looked into the room.

The bathroom door was not closed, and gangsters would pass by on patrol from time to time.

Lumian waited patiently for a while and figured out the pattern. Taking advantage of the area corresponding to the bathroom door that was temporarily empty, he used Hudsey's dagger to pry open the window and climb in.

He turned around and closed the glass window calmly and resolutely, and then ducked to the bottom of the bathtub, covering his body with the help of the curtain hanging there that had not yet been unfolded.

After successfully infiltrating, Lumian placed several items that would be used later in places that were more convenient to take out, and confirmed their respective locations to avoid taking the wrong items in a panic.

Then, he stood there like a statue, listening to the movement in the room outside.

"Iron Hammer" Art sometimes asked the dance hall manager about his recent earnings, sometimes he scolded his subordinates, and sometimes he joked with the top dancer, accompanied by actions that seemed very intimate.

After a while, after the dance hall manager and the top dancer left, Aite seemed to stand up and pace slowly.

He said to several gangsters in the room: "In the past few days, you have released all your men and visited door to door in our territory to ensure that the congressman in the market district can be elected in the general election next week!

Oh, you gangsters are still interfering in the congressional elections? Lumian is both surprised and not so surprised.

The gangs in Trier cannot grow and develop without the support behind them. They want to have a good relationship with some high-level officials in the police department and police headquarters. They are either protected by powerful politicians or belong to the black gloves of big businessmen. Big businessmen must have certain interests involved with senior government officials, church leaders, and military generals.

What Lumian didn't expect was that the man behind the Stinger Gang would have ambitions to win a seat in Congress. He originally thought that he would be at the level of the Market District Police Commissioner or the Trier City Council at most.

Intis is a parliamentary republic. Members are elected from constituencies to form the National Convention, and Congress appoints the president and prime minister. The president and prime minister are responsible for appointing ministers. Of course, this must be approved by Congress.

Congress also has the power to legislate, declare war, and determine the government budget. Every member of Congress is a powerful figure.

Currently, there are more than three hundred people in the National Convention, one-tenth of whom come from the original nobility, headed by members of the former royal family of Sauron, and the remaining seats are divided into different provinces and municipalities based on population and economic status, that is, Trier Region.

Whether in terms of population or economic status, Trier as a whole and the entire Trier region are second to none, with nearly forty national seats allocated.

These nearly forty seats are broken down into twenty urban districts, with as many as four or five council members, and as few as one, and they are still ex-officio members of the city council!

The Honest Market District is a small constituency with only one congressional seat. Whoever is elected will be the most powerful and influential person here.

Currently, whether it is the ruling National Party, the most vocal Liberal Party, or the Reform Party that wants to change various shortcomings, they are all doing their best for next week's parliamentary election.

Whoever can get a simple majority of seats in Congress will become the new ruling party. Otherwise, they will have to make compromises and concessions and join forces with another party.

In addition to the National Party, the Enlightenment Party and the Reform Party, there are also widespread members of the Imperial Party (restorationists who admire Russell) and the Carbonari Party who are dissatisfied with the current system and try to overthrow it by force.

Those gangsters responded to "Iron Hammer" Aite one after another, saying that there would be no mistakes.

But they never mentioned which candidate of which party they supported, which made Lumian feel a little depressed.

You should say it!

After instructing them about the election, Iron Hammer and Aite said to their subordinates: "You go out for a moment, and I'll let you in and then come back in.

"What needs to be done?" Lumian was surprised for a while.

Soon, the gangsters left the room, leaving only "Iron Hammer" Aite alone.

Lumian did not take action because after careful analysis, he believed that if "Corrupted Mercury" was not used, fighting "Iron Hammer" Aichi in the bathroom would be more targeted than outside.

The room outside became quite quiet, and Lumian tried his best to listen before he could barely hear some sounds.

It seemed that "Ranhammer" Aite was saying to himself: "The protector of evil people...the lady who gave birth to gods..."

The lady who gave birth to gods? This sounds very powerful... Is Aite praying, praying to a hidden existence? There seems to be a total of four or five sentences of description? This is different from the common three-stage formula....

Lumian probably guessed what "Iron Hammer" Aite was doing.

As for who he was praying to, Lumian had no way of guessing based on only half of the description he barely heard.

This is not within the scope of his current knowledge of Theology.

Vaguely, Lumi felt that the room outside was full of malice. Yes, the room itself had become evil.

Lumian held his breath, suppressed his energy, and did not dare to listen to what was going on outside. After a while, the feeling dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Lumian exhaled slowly and moved his palms.

At this time, "Iron Hammer" Aite asked his men who had gone out to return to the room.

Lumian continued to wait.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, he heard the heaviest footsteps walking towards the bathroom.

These were the footsteps belonging to "Iron Hammer" Aite, and Lumian had just identified them clearly.

He immediately took out a golden thirst vial, the one with a scratch mark on it.

Then, he unscrewed the bottle cap and stuffed a slender paper ball that he had kneaded into the mouth of the bottle.

After a few seconds, when the footsteps were approaching the alliance's bathroom, Lumian took out the paper and tightened the bottle cap.

Then, he split the paper in two and stuffed it into his nose.

The stench like the fermentation of feces rushed straight into Lumian's mind, irritating him to the point of tears, and his right hand instinctively tried to pull out the slender ball of paper.

Relying on strong perseverance and the "mendicant monk's" ability to endure more extreme environments, Lumian controlled himself. While standing with a distorted expression and slightly twitching muscles, he took out another one that was mostly gas. Metal vial, uncap it.

Bang!

"Iron Hammer" Aite closed the bathroom door and walked to the toilet.

This place suddenly became a semi-enclosed space, with only a little fresh air coming in through the gaps in the door and windows.

Well, he had a serious case of bloodshed....

While Mr. Lumi was looking at the fortune, he quietly shook up the open metal vial, indicating that the colorless and odorless gas inside evaporated and filled the washroom.

This is a drug made by the perverted Hudsey. It can make an "assassin" lose a lot of power at close range, even if he only smells a little bit of the smell coming out! This is very suitable for the bathroom. This kind of cramped and semi-enclosed space.

This is the trap Lumian set for "Iron Hammer" Aite!

Of course, it will take a while for those gases to fill the bathroom and be effective to a certain extent. After all, this is not a close-up sniff.

The next thing Lumian had to do was to prevent Hammer Art from leaving the bathroom and to prevent anyone from outside from opening the door. He placed the open metal vial on the edge of the bathtub and took out Jenna's revolver. Aiming at the toilet area through the curtain.
