Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Lumian looked at the pocket watch carefully for a while to confirm that it had no mechanical failure.

In the previous hour, he himself had not bumped into it, so it would not have affected the pocket watch.

"From the time I calibrated my pocket watch to now, the only thing that made me feel abnormal was the trance when I left the 'Alone' bar and the faint ringing of the bell. Well, the guard wearing a monocle at the door of the 'Difference' cabaret also One missing one, is there any connection between this and my pocket watch suddenly slowing down by one minute?" Lumian thought seriously for a while and could only find out the suspected reason.

He planned to write to ask Ms. "Magician" after returning to the market area.

Normally, it would be impossible for him to trouble the Major Arcana with such a trivial matter, but the abnormality of the pocket watch is likely to occur in the old street, and the ammons in the "different" dance hall have undergone some changes. These are There is no reason to be careless.

Lumian put on his pocket watch and after the public carriage arrived at a stop, he suddenly got off the carriage and turned into a nearby street, always paying attention to the people and animals passing around him.

He changed three public carriages to different places in succession, trying to detect and throw off possible pursuers.

This is the self-cultivation of a "hunter".

After going through the entire process, Lumian entered a department store, placed the satchel containing the "torture" gloves in the public washroom compartment, put on the "lie" ear clips, and returned to his original appearance.

He also took off his brown jacket and put on a dark vest that he carried in his satchel, www.youxs.org.

Lumian breathed a long sigh of relief after writing down his trance, the faint ringing of bells, and the changes in the guards of the "different" cabaret hall in a letter and sending it to Ms. "Magician." www.youxs.org

Every time he went to Old Street, although he never encountered a real disaster, he always felt uncomfortable, and some unspeakable fear stirred in his heart.

Not long after, the "Puppet" messenger brought a reply from Ms. "Magician":

“Your senses are keen and correct.

"The trance you appeared in and the bells you heard were all caused by Mr. Fool's 'Time Angel'. He found the target and cleared out all the ammons in the 'Different' Cabaret and the entire Trier. Your The fact that the pocket watch slowed down for one minute was also due to the impact of this battle.

"In the next period of time, you don't have to worry about what Amon will do to you. Of course, you should also know that such a mythical creature cannot be solved so easily and completely fall. In various countries in the northern and southern continents, and There are a large number of Amons, and in the underground of Trier, where the angelic power cannot exert influence remotely, there may still be a few Amons missing.”

After reading Ms. Magician's reply, Lumian was stunned for several seconds.

So a trance represents a battle on an angelic level?

If he hadn't just calibrated his pocket watch, he wouldn't have found any substantial evidence!

If it weren't for the angelic being, Thermipolos, sealed in his body, he would definitely be like Liya, unable to even hear the bells or even be in a trance!

"Is this the power of angels? That is to say, the battle between the Angels of Time and the Amons did not affect the people around them, otherwise the citizens in the old street at that time would not even know how they died...

"The pocket watch was slow for a minute... An angel-level battle took place during my brief trance..."

So...Mr. Fool’s Angel of Time can really partially control time….

"Once you cross the gate of divinity, all kinds of abilities become so magical, the repeated cycle of the 'man in the ring', the 'hidden' power of the dark night path, the starlight gate of the 'Magician' lady, the clock of the 'Angel of Time' The sound is something I couldn't imagine before..." Lumian was surprised and sighed. For the first time, he didn't crave high-sequence power because he wanted to resurrect his sister.

It is a yearning born from instinct.

Thinking that for a period of time, he no longer has to worry about Amon suddenly jumping out of a corner and pushing himself into new dangers, Lumian felt quite good. He sincerely praised Mr. Fool. Think of the "Angel of Time" and your own "Magician" lady of the Major Arcana card.

He felt much more relaxed, burned the reply letter, and moved to Apartment 601, No. 3, White Coat Street.

Franka is waiting for him to bring back the information about "Alone" Bar and "Rocky".

"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Lumian asked with a smile after closing the door.

Franka looked him up and down:

"I feel very good...

"The good news is that clues related to "Loki" have been found?

"The bad news is that we don't have enough capabilities to pursue it?"

"None of them." Lumian grabbed Franka's easy chair.

Franka was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect this guy to be so shameless.

Before she could say "Hey", Lumian continued:

"The good news is that Mr. Fool's Angel of Time took action and cleaned up the Ammons in the 'Different' Cabaret and the entire Trier. At the next gathering, if 'Loki' is not absent for no reason, then This shows that he was not "parasitized" by a certain Amon.

"The bad news is that the copy of the information you bought was indeed typed on a mechanical typewriter in the cellar of the Alone Bar, but we can't trace it in the territory of the eighth inning. Well, I'm pretty sure it's the eighth inning now. The bureau’s stronghold.”

Liya is already working as a bartender there.

Franka was sometimes excited and sometimes frowned:

"Did you see Mr. Fool's 'Angel of Time'? But why didn't I feel any obvious movement in Trier..."

"Indeed, regardless of whether 'Loki' is from the Eighth Bureau or not, asking directly who has used that mechanical typewriter recently will lead to you and me being targeted by the Eighth Bureau, who will find excuses to use that typewriter and try to divine the recent user. , most likely pointing to some members of the Eighth Bureau, or even the Saints.

The eighth round stronghold diagonally opposite the ‘Different’ Dance Hall must be occupied by high-sequence players! "

Franka's attention turned to business and she forgot to ask Lumian to leave his exclusive seat.

Lumian briefly described the situation in which his pocket watch was delayed by one minute and Ms. Magician's reply. Franca was amazed and fascinated.

After talking about the "Angel of Time", Lumian thought for a while and said:

"Loki didn't hide his appearance very well at the party, and I suspect he has abilities like Nether's Face or Lies.

Franka nodded:

"If he is really a formal member of the Eighth Bureau, then I think he should be an Extraordinary of the Seer Path, at least the Faceless Man of Sequence 6. Your 'lie' corresponds to this sequence, well, the Eighth Many of the Extraordinaries in the bureau are from the 'Soothsayer' path."

"Is the 'Faceless Man' above the Magician?" After Lumian got the "Lie", he suspected that it came from the "Soothsayer" path, but he didn't know the corresponding sequence name.

"Yes, this path has been weird and difficult to kill since the Sequence 7 Magician. He is good at transformation. At Sequence 5, his ability is even more terrifying. He can silently turn a person into a puppet without self. The name is 'Secret Puppet Master' '." Franca, who entered the world of occultism earlier than Lumian and joined the "Tarot Club" earlier, obviously has more information on the "Pathway to God".

After Lumian communicated with Franka about the "divineer" path for a while, the two of them simultaneously fell into the trouble of how to find "Loki" in reality.

At this time, brisk footsteps went upstairs, and Jian Na opened the door of Apartment 601.

She glanced at Lumian who was sitting in the easy chair and Franka who was standing next to her, and asked doubtfully, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm thinking about a problem." Lumian cut off the beginning and told Jenna that he and Franka were tracking an enemy code-named "Loki" and encountered a lot of trouble. He finally asked, "What do you have?" Ideas?"

"You have rejected all the methods I can think of." Jenna shook her head in amusement.

Before her two companions could speak, she said thoughtfully:

"Char, you can think of yourself as 'Loki', as those guys who like to play tricks on others, think about all the things that have happened before from their perspective, and see if you can find clues. Don't you also like pranks? You should talk to them There is a common language.

My pranks are still very different from their pranks... Lumian did not say this sentence, trying to recall his motives, ideas and changes in mentality when he pranked, in order to analyze the behavior of the "April Fools' Day" team members and purpose.

After a moment, he frowned:

"All pranks are meant to gain joy when the target is embarrassed or hit. Those people use my sister as the target of pranks, but they cannot confirm the final result, and it is difficult to get real happiness from it...

"Similarly, when it comes to instigating Franka to explore the underground, how can they grasp Franka's movements and see her tragic ending? You know, even if Franka never goes to that occult party, it may be because Something else happened unexpectedly.

The three people in the room all thought about this question:

If the person who made the prank does not see the ending of the prank, he will lack a sufficient sense of accomplishment and will not get the happiness he expected. And how can "Rocky" and others rely on to determine what happened to Aurore or Franka?

After a while, Lumian said in a deep voice:

"Either the prank is just a cover-up and they have another purpose in doing these things, or they have a way to monitor the corresponding target."

Franka suddenly felt a chill running down her spine and subconsciously looked around the room.

"What can I do?" Jian Na asked for her help.

Lumian shook his head slowly:

"I don't know, there might be a clue hidden in this."

During the exchange, which was sometimes silent and sometimes discussed, the three of them could never come up with an answer and could only put the matter aside for the time being.

On the way back to the Breeze Ballroom, Lumian looked at the afternoon sun and asked tentatively:

"Thermipolos, can I find 'Loki' through the 'art of prophecy'?

The majestic voice of Thermibolus sounded:

"After you left the old street, if you didn't do anti-tracking, you would have met 'Loki' by now. "
