Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian stood at the intersection, put his hands in his pockets, and walked leisurely towards City Wall Street.

This street, more famous than the boulevard in the minds of a large number of people in Trier, is their dream place.

Before Emperor Russell started the industrial revolution, the city of Trier was far from as large as it is now. This was the easternmost area with solid city walls and soldiers guarding the walls. The soldiers' military camps were not far from here, so they appeared next to them. There were a lot of homeless people and brothels.

As time went by, with the name of City Wall Street, and with the expansion of Trier's population, the original small "market" became one of the most famous flower worlds in the northern and southern continents.

Lumian walked under the Intis plane tree and saw a mixture of magnificent palace-like buildings in front of him, as well as quite ordinary apartments. What they had in common was that all or part of their windows were covered with frosted glass and green shutters.

In the afternoon, City Wall Street seems to have not yet fully woken up. There are not too many pedestrians on the road, but they all have their own characteristics. Some are wearing gray-blue workers' uniforms and walking in a hurry, while some are in old formal clothes. They look around and enter a certain building. Some of the apartments were carrying cameras, taking pictures here, taking pictures there, and finally disappeared quietly in front of the ornately decorated buildings. Some tried their best to look like Indians, but they inevitably lost their hairline and exaggeration. Details such as height reveal the true identity.

What's more, Lumian also saw an iron-gray robot more than two meters high. It had an air outlet on its back and was constantly spraying white mist. It had more decorative gears and hair exposed in many places on its body. Strips, screws, bent pipes, etc.

There is a man sitting on the left shoulder of this robot. He is gorgeously dressed and has exquisite makeup. He is leisurely looking down at the people coming and going, looking down at the dignitaries who directly put on gold or silver masks and do not want to expose themselves, and those who have just woken up. The man who left in vain.

In this street, ordinary citizens and members of the upper class strangely blend together, showing some weird harmony.

As Lumian moved forward, he looked left and right, looking for the target location.

In a flash, he saw Albus coming from the side alley.

This member of the "Iron Cross" with darker red hair also noticed Lumian. He smiled slightly, raised his right hand and pointed at his head, as if he was making some kind of provocation.

Lumian knew that he was following Gardner Martin's order, www.youxs.org, and suspected that this guy was just "talking" about whether to have a competition to see who could find the "prey" first.

In addition to Albus, there should be many formal or peripheral members of the "Iron Cross" who keep their promises, www.youxs.org.

Lumian ignored Albus and continued walking deeper into the Wall Street.

According to the newly released "Mirror Divination" results of "Pleasure Witch" Franka, the scope of the previous prediction has been narrowed:

www.youxs.org, appears in the area including Chengqiang Street, Baima Street and other five streets.

Of course, given the length, area and density of people on City Wall Street, as well as the bustling level of the surrounding neighborhoods, this result is still very rough. It is almost impossible to catch prey by carpet searches and large-area nets, unless official assistance is obtained. , directly deploy troops to blockade this place and guard all entrances to underground Trier.

In the past, Lumian could only hope that the "Iron-Blooded Cross", a secret organization that gathered a large number of powerful "hunters", would have better tracking and hunting methods, or that he would be pregnant with Thermapolos, the angel of fate. If you have a certain degree of aggregation ability, www.youxs.org, you can attract both parties to each other and "reunite" in a destined way.

But now, he has a new clue.

This mainly comes from the occult knowledge brought by the "contracted person"!

That knowledge includes a large number of strange creatures that can be summoned or captured, as well as the price to pay for signing a contract with them, the abilities that can be obtained, and the negative effects that will be suffered afterwards.

www.youxs.org, Lumian compiled a piece of information:

"Summoning the Demonic Flower of the Abyss" requires a large amount of fresh human blood as a sacrifice. The negative effect is an increase in the desire for sexual intercourse;

To be “invisible”, you need to prepare meat for thirteen people. The negative effect is that you will be more likely to get hungry;

“Slow flight”, using one’s own inability to love others as a sacrifice, the negative impact is the urge to show off;

"Bone Curse" requires the sacrifice of a living person, and the negative effect is more lethargy;

"Secret Technique of Soul Capturing", the price is no less than three human souls, and the negative impact is irregular dizziness four to five times a day;

"Implosion Technique' requires the sacrifice of any extraordinary characteristic. The negative effect is that the spirituality will be continuously sucked away, which is equivalent to permanently lowering the upper limit of spirituality."

From the detailed description of the "Secret Technique of Soul Capturing", Lumian also suspected that the priest had paid another price unconsciously and covertly.

That's his name!

The "Secret Technique of Soul Capturing" is to shout out the target's real name, affecting his mental body and causing him to experience reactions such as dizziness. The better you understand the target and the closer the language you use to the spiritual world, the better the effect.

When signing a contract with a spiritual creature that lends the "Secret Technique of Soul Capturing", www.youxs.org, for a strange creature with that kind of ability, knowing a person's true name may be able to do a lot of things.

This is a potentially major hazard.

There are many similar hidden problems in the occult knowledge of the "contracted person", so Lumian finally chose to screen a large number of spiritual creatures by himself, contact them one by one, and try them one by one.

Based on the known negative effects of the contract abilities, Lumian made some assumptions:

www.youxs.org, after the desire for coitus increases, he will definitely find a woman. This is consistent with the prediction that he will appear in the Red Princess District and the magic mirror divination results that he may be in the five nearby streets.

And he is more prone to hunger than before, and doing that kind of thing consumes a lot of energy, so he will most likely choose a brothel that can provide meals or take the girl home.

In addition, www.youxs.org, a person who has a strong desire for power and is suppressed in the mountains and villages. Before the negative impact of his ability to contract, his lust is more of his behavior to demonstrate power. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he is a person. He wants to steal all women, and there is a huge gap between good and bad mistresses.

For him, stealing other men's women is a sign of his status, power and charm.

Such a person, after arriving in Trier and being discriminated against by the citizens for his provincial accent, will inevitably use his own way to vent and prove it.

Combining situations such as "desire to enhance", "appearing in the Red Princess District" and past styles, www.youxs.org makes those local citizens who want it but can't get it jealous, and even take away one or two of them directly. Raised at home.

In the above part, the analysis of the character characteristics and psychological state of the parish priest was not done by Lumian himself, www.youxs.org "psychiatrist", www.youxs.org.

Therefore, there are currently two directions for pursuing prey. One is to go to high-end brothels where famous socialites are available and provide meals. The other is to inquire about any socialites who have married or married in the past two months. Become someone's mistress, or even disappear.

The former is in charge of people from the "Iron-Blooded Cross Society". What Lumian needs to do now is to find well-informed people who can provide various scandals on City Wall Street.

www.youxs.org, he knew that Buller, the columnist of "Ghost Face" magazine, was a frequent visitor to Rampart Street and was famous for telling the scandals and rumors here.

Buhler's favorite place was to drink and write in the corner of the "Hope Cafe" where the door could be seen before going to the brothel.

With a clear purpose, Lumian walked neither fast nor slow, walking towards the cafe located in the middle of City Wall Street.

On the way, he went through the whole thing and felt a little emotional for no reason:

He is obviously not as good as Franka in terms of divination ability. He only has one "divination technique" that he dare not use easily, www.youxs.org, but he can find these two helpers and use their strengths, which is equivalent to gaining these ability.

Lumian doesn't know what will happen after possessing divinity, but he is certain that below Sequence 4, a person's power is limited, and a team that complements each other can exert the effect of "1+1 is greater than 2", which is completely Ability to challenge higher order beings that do not involve divinity.

Not long after, Lumian saw the "Hope Cafe" with its window frames and doors painted milky white.

After pushing open the heavier door, he looked directly at the corner where he could see this place.

A man in his thirties with a thin face, black hair, blue eyes, neatly trimmed beard and waxed tips happened to be looking towards the door.

Realizing that Lumian was scanning the area, the man's expression changed. He picked up the soft-shell notebook and red absorbent pen on the table and turned to the back door beside him.

Lumian directly pulled out his revolver and fired a shot at the back door of the "Hope Cafe".

With a bang, bullets were embedded in the wood.

The guests in the cafe were frightened at the same time, hiding or turning around, and there was chaos.

The man with the waxed beard froze in place, neither running nor keeping it right.

Under the frightened looks cast by the bartender, waiter and guests, Lumian walked up to the target with a revolver in his hand, smiled and asked: "Is it Mr. Buller?"

"Yes, it's me." Buller forced a smile.

Lumian pointed to Buller's original position and said calmly: "Sit down, I'm here to buy information."

Buller breathed a sigh of relief, turned around with a slight stoop, and sat down.

Lumian pulled up a chair, sat on the opposite side, put down the revolver, and asked funnyly:

"Why do you like to sit in such a place with little lighting?"

Buller sighed and said:

“In my line of work, I always worry about being retaliated against. You know, some people don’t like their names or images appearing in newspapers and magazines and being associated with scandals.

"Sitting here, I can observe the entrance very well and find out in advance whether there are people who want to cause trouble for me, and I can quickly escape through the back door."
