Chapter Ninety-Nine: Countermeasures

Susanna. Mattis's attack is coming? Considering that Charlie had no other enemies, and that he had been working as a waiter in the Breeze Ballroom recently, he would not go to any dangerous places, and Lumian quickly had a clear guess in his mind.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Charlie will be very unlucky to encounter other accidents recently, but Lumian feels that in similar matters, there must be no luck.

Putting down the tray and waiting, Charlie was a little apprehensive by Lumian's gaze.

He remembered the other party's magical "prophecy" ability, and hurriedly leaned over, and asked in a suppressed voice:

"See what?"

Lumian smiled: "I see that you will have a romantic encounter recently, and you will have a relationship with a beautiful girl that goes beyond friendship."

"Really?" Charlie was surprised and delighted.

The girl's name was Suzanne. Matisse...... Lumian took this sentence back, and laughed: "You're too easy to deceive, aren't you?" Believe that?"

"I knew ......," Charlie looked disappointed.

The existence of the fool made him have no doubt about Charles's ability to deceive people.

As Charlie walked to the edge of the dance floor with a tray full of wine glasses, the smile on Lumien's face faded slightly.

His mind raced, and one thought after another flashed through his mind:

"Am I too unlucky, or is it fate? Seeing that the official extraordinary will pay attention to Mr. Eve and the old pigeon cage theater tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, arrest all those cultists who believe in the 'Mother Tree of Desire', and find out Susanna. The whereabouts of Matisse's evil spirit completely purified her, and today Susanna. There's a chance that Mattis will attack me and Charlie again.....

"Damn, the sow's Cermibolos, must have done a good deed!

"From the previous experience of observing the horoscope, the problem will erupt in the middle of the night at the earliest today and in the middle of the night at the latest........

"You can't put your hopes entirely in Suzanne. Matisse came to Charlie and me the day after tomorrow, and he had to deal with the worst......."

At some point, Lumian, who was infected with swear words by Franca and Jana, forcibly calmed down and made a calm judgment about the current situation.

At the same time, he had a preliminary countermeasure:

First, hide his identity and remind Charlie that he will go to the nearest church of the 'Eternal Sun' tonight and stay there for three days;

Two, go to White Coat Street to find Franka and ask for her help.

With the fingers of Franca and Mr. K as her backing, Lumian believes that she has a good chance of surviving Suzanne Matisse's first round of attacks, and after that, she will not have another chance, whether it is Franca's reminder to the official Extraordinary through secret channels, or Charlie's performance in going to church to seek protection, it is enough to tell Suzanne of the "Eternal Sun" church. Matisse is here again!

Although with Mr. K's fingers, Lumian has a lot of hope to deal with Suzanne on her own. Mattis, but since he already owes Franca a favor, why not owe a little more to make things more certain?

Without any hesitation, Lumian took a sip of the remaining absinthe and got up to leave the Breeze Ballroom.

He returned to room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel, took out his "voyeur glasses", and placed them on the bridge of his nose.

Another spinning of the world, another fall to the ground, another huge brown-green root system, and another worm and rat huddled in different places......

Just as Lumian was about to take off his glasses and start putting on his makeup, he saw a tuft of long, turquoise hair with vines and branches.

Bang!

It was as if Lumien's head had been struck, and small golden stars appeared in front of him.

He hurriedly removed the "peep glasses" from his face, buried his head, and retched for several seconds.

After doing all this, he took advantage of the fact that the urge to paint something had not disappeared, and pulled out his makeup tools and smeared different things on his face.

Inside the darkened glass windows, Lumien felt stranger and stranger, like the sloppy drunks that are common in dance halls.

When he finished drawing the last point, he quickly looked away, not daring to look again, for fear of cognitive impairment.

Call...... Putting away his makeup tools, Lumien let out a sigh and filtered through his mind the scenes he saw after putting on the "peep glasses".

The long turquoise hair with vines and branches made him look very familiar, and he soon had an association:

Susanna. Matisse also had long turquoise hair, tangled with branches and vines that spread out of nowhere!

"Susanna. Matisse's 'territory' somewhere underground in the market district?" Lumien made a preliminary judgment.

He couldn't help but complain: "Why is it underground again?"

The underground of Trier is too lively, isn't it?

However, this also explains why the official Extraordinaire failed to completely purify Suzanne Matisse last time, and monsters that involve the underground are always not easy to eradicate, like the ghost of Montsourie.

Lumian remembered that the real Mr. Eve had been to Trier underground in the middle of the night, and that the perverted Hedsey had taken Jaenna to a cavern in the ground after being unconscious, and seemed familiar with the area and felt safe.

This made him begin to convince Susanna. Matisse was really hiding somewhere underground in Trier, and not too far from the hollow that Hedsey had chosen.

The end of that path to the depths of the earth? Lumian guessed as he changed his clothes and left room 207 in a bizarre mix of rudimentary canvas trousers.

Inside the Breeze Ballroom.

Lumian looked around and found Charlie, who was serving drinks to guests on the edge of the dance floor. ”

He leaned in, and as he passed Charlie, he suppressed his voice and said, "Susanna. Matisse. ”

None of Jane's singing, roaring music, and cacophony of vocals could hide the name, causing Charlie to freeze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.

Lumian reminded in a low voice:

"I received information, Susanna. Matisse will reappear in these three days, and if you don't want to die, go to church tonight and come out again in three days. ”

Charlie's first reaction was panic, the second reaction was to look for Charles, and the third reaction was "will you be fired directly if you take three days off".

Unable to find Charles, he swallowed his saliva and asked in a low voice of confirmation, "Really?"

You can believe it or not...... Lumian controlled his habitual answers, lest Charlie have certain associations.

He kept his voice low and said:

"You go to church tonight and someone will tell you if it's real or not."

Charlie could no longer restrain the fear in his heart, looked at the unfamiliar face, and asked with a slight trembling, "Who are you?"

Why did you remind me?

"A good Samaritan." Lumian responded with a phrase that his sister occasionally used when she was joking.

Without further ado, he crossed Charlie, squeezed onto the dance floor, and quickly disappeared from Charlie's sight.

Charlie seemed to have encountered a cold winter, and his body trembled uncontrollably. ”

During this time, he was occasionally reminiscent of Susanna. Matisse's beauty, gentleness, and enthusiasm in his dreams, but every time he was frightened by memories of trees, flowers, and slime, he lost his desire, and now, the monster is back!

Go to St. Robles' Church now! Charlie just took the tray and took a few steps to the door, then stopped again.

He remembered that it was already late at night, and there must have been very few pedestrians in Market Avenue.

That environment is much more dangerous than a bustling breeze ballroom!

"Susanna. Matisse is always in my dreams, or else it is the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, I am in the ballroom, there are so many people watching, she will definitely not dare to appear...... When Charles returns, please let him take me to the church of St. Robles......" Charlie withdrew his gaze to the door and decided to wait a little longer.

The ballroom, which was full of sounds and smells, gave him a certain sense of security.

......

3 White Coat Street.

Lumian, who had finished removing his makeup, knocked on Franca's door.

Franka had already broken her ponytail and let her long linen hair fall naturally, but instead of a nightdress, she was wearing a women's pajama and pajamas made of cotton.

She stepped on a pair of cool slippers that belonged to summer, and while leaning over to let Lumian into the room, she asked suspiciously, "Are you here tonight to ask for occult knowledge?"

She and Lumien had been separated for less than two hours, and it felt like nothing else was going on.

When Franca closed the door, Lumian said:

"There's something going on Charlie's side, and I suspect Susanna. Matisse will reappear in the next two days, with a certain probability of late tonight. ”

"So fast?" Franca didn't hide her surprise.

She didn't even have time to bring Susanna. Matisse, Mr. Ef and the Old Pigeon Coop Theater to 007"!

Lumian nodded: "Although it is difficult for me to accept, all indications show that my speculation just now is correct. ”

"What are you going to do?" Franka wasted no time discussing how likely it was.

Lumian tells Franka about the two strategies he has come up with, but doesn't mention Mr. K's finger.

Franka looked at him with a smile, "You're calm."

"Didn't you tell me before, Susanna. Is Matisse suspected of being an evil spirit with Sequence 5 powers? Neither of us tied up together might be able to beat her.

"Tsk, are you too confident in me, or too confident in yourself?"

Lumian smiled, "Both."

"It's not easy for you to escape from the disaster in the village of Cordu." Franka sighed and looked at the wall clock in the house, "It shouldn't be a problem to survive tonight, I'll hurry up and tell the official through my channels first, you wait for me in the living room." ”

She walked into her own master bedroom, unsure of what she was messing with.

Lumian sat down on the couch, looked at the cuckoo wall clock hanging from the side, and counted the time silently.

Nearly a quarter of an hour passed, and Franka opened the door and came out, already wearing the black robe with leather armor and a hood.

"It's done, there is a high probability that there will be action tomorrow." She said to Lumian, and then asked, "Aren't you worried about Charlie's accident on his way to St. Robles' church?" In the dead of night, evil spirits can also be encountered on the roadside. ”

St. Robes' Church is the cathedral of the "Eternal Sun" Church in the Candid Man's Market district, near the Suthiet steam train station, and its attached cemetery was originally located in the current Breeze Ballroom.

Lumian had an idea:

"I'm going to wait for the Breeze Ballroom to close and follow him to church secretly."

"I'm with you." Franca suddenly frowned, looked at Lumian and said, "Won't Charlie be attacked in the ballroom?" Some evil spirits don't care if there are other people around, how many people there are. ”

Because Susanna. Matisse's previous appearances had not affected anyone else, so Lumian subconsciously felt that she would avoid crowded places, and the ballroom was far more crowded than the hotel.

After being reminded by Franca, he was shocked and said in a deep voice, "Let's rush back to the dance hall now!"
