Chapter 23: Magic Mirror Divination (Asking for a Monthly Pass at the End of the Month)
Olsen didn't care, Lumian suddenly tensed, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "As is customary, as a supervisor, I must talk to you in private. ”
Lumian quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What are you talking about?" ”
Olsen placed the small brown suitcase next to his left leg: "If you find your chief, Gardner?" If Martin has a problem, or something is out of the ordinary, report it to me immediately. ”
"That's what I'm supposed to do, the boss has a problem to make the position vacant."
Lumian muttered a little mockingly, and then muttered, "How can I contact you?" ”
Olsen looked into Lumian's eyes and said, "Leave the information in the basement at 13 Market Avenue." ”
At 13 Market Avenue, the Predator Cross had something to do with the burning building.
It's possible that Olson had been in the Quaternary that Trier, who was supposed to be of the deeply contaminated type, and that he had a way to exploit the anomaly at 13 Market Avenue.
Reflecting on last night's experience, Lumien felt that Superintendent Olsenby Gardner? Martin, even more mysterious.
He suspected that the person who was secretly monitoring his every move in 13 Market Avenue was Olson, Gardner? Martin was clearly non-essential and reluctant to get there.
Combined with 13 Market Avenue, which burned down more than a decade ago, Mr. K said the Iron Cross, which has been alienated in recent years, believes in that other organizations.
Lady Magician mentions that the current vigil is not the usual test of the Iron Cross.
Lumian had a vague line of events in his mind, which was not yet perfect.
He believes that 13 Market Avenue was burned down, not the work of the Predator Cross, but later, they got hold of the secrets there and at the same time suffered from the corresponding pollution.
As a result, there was an anomaly, of course, it is also possible that it was the other way around, or that some member of the Predator Cross had suffered a corresponding contamination elsewhere before mastering the anomaly at 13 Market Avenue.
"Okay." Lumian nodded in agreement.
In a flash of thought, he looked at Supervisor Olsen, did not hide himself, and asked suspiciously, "Is the trader I saw in the Albert Mine really you?" Can your head break away from your body and survive on its own? Or is it an illusion you created? ”
Olsen smiled hoarsely: "It just so happens that as a supervisor, I have three things to tell you, one: what the eyes see may not be true; Two: We will all end up in Trier in the Quaternary, which is our fate; Three: Don't trust other people's words. ”
Don't believe other people's words, it's a little interesting, so should I believe your words? What I saw in the Albert Mine is actually real, hehe, talking about fate in front of me, I don't care, can you bear it with Themipolos?
Lumian forcibly controlled himself, did not lift his right palm, pressed to the left, and saw Olsen re-lift the small brown suitcase, as if intending to leave.
Lumian asked with a little curiosity, "What's in there?" Why do you keep carrying it? ”
Olsen smiled, "If I were you, I'd better pray to myself and never know the answer." ”
With that, the overseer opened, and the door of the carriage was moving, jumped into the darkness outside, and disappeared in an instant.
He didn't deliberately use his abilities as he did when he came, in order to hide Lumian's inspiration and mysteries, and Lumien muttered quietly.
After riding back to the market area, he didn't rush to the Golden Rooster Hotel or the safe house on White Coat Street to summon the messenger of the Magician Lady to report on his official membership in the Iron Cross, but went straight to the Breeze Ballroom.
He was worried that the insidious guys of the Iron Cross Society were still using the stage when they were most likely to let their guard down and continue to do covert, final surveillance.
Although they couldn't find the messenger of the magician lady, at this point in time, going back to room 207 or the safe house was not in line with Lumien's style, and it was easy to arouse suspicion.
Sitting at the bar, Lumian asked for Linsha red wine, and while sipping, he enjoyed the singing and dancing on the stage.
Jane is resting tonight for two other pompous women and a male underground singer who is known for his songs and movements.
In the hilly area, outside the Deep Valley Monastery, Jana, who was wearing a silver-white half-face mask, looked at Franka, who was dressed as an assassin beside her, with a little worry, and said, "What are we going to do tonight?" You wouldn't want to sneak into the monastery to investigate, would you? ”
"Of course not." Franka denied it.
"The Deep Valley Monastery is the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, a more famous monastery, not only has powerful extraordinary people, but also hides the mysterious artifacts made by those craftsmen and monks, with the strength of the two of us, go in just to deliver food, no, deliver to the door."
Speaking of which, Franca's mind couldn't help but flash a pile of scraps.
He had heard that the monks here, although they did not marry or have children, focused on steam and mechanics, did not mean that they were not close to women or men.
The Church of the God of Steam and Machines does not prohibit this.
According to rumors, some of the monks, every once in a while, would find some street girls to come and soothe their spirits, while others would find colleagues or men who had sold their bodies.
There is still a large part of the remaining fetishes that are mechanical, or really penance, able to control themselves.
Of course, in the face of similar myths, the people of Trier always like to exaggerate the facts or add their own ideas, which are very different from the real situation.
Franka didn't believe it all, but she couldn't be completely unconvinced.
She felt that there should be some monks who had those problems, but they were not mainstream, but even if they were not mainstream, it would be very dangerous for them to sneak into the monastery as a wild extraordinary.
Either they are killed by mechanical mistake, or they are caught as experiments, or they become the playthings of those few monks, with only a very small chance of success.
In short, whether you are a man or a woman, you haven't reached Sequence 4, or you are not sure enough, don't even think about sneaking into the Deep Valley Monastery.
Franca's face hidden under the hood showed a smile, and she explained in a good mood: "We went around the area today, and we didn't find a single clue, but there is a place where we haven't done an investigation yet. ”
Jane thought back for a moment, "That Deep Valley Quarry? ”
"Yes." Franka laughed, "We'll sneak in there tonight and do a search." ”
Actually, she didn't think that the two of them would gain anything, after all, the official extraordinary person had already completed the investigation, she just wanted to take Jianna and let her get familiar with similar things, Jianna went through the process, and how to deal with things.
"Hmm." Janena nodded slightly.
Franka took the opportunity to teach, "We have some pre-work to do before we can dive in. ”
"For the Assassins, it is necessary to familiarize themselves with the environment, gather information, observe locations and routes, and when it comes to the witch stage, they also have to do a divination beforehand."
Franka said as she pulled out a palm-sized mirror that she had brought with her.
Jaanna suddenly gathered her mind.
She had long been curious about the abilities related to the witch's mirror.
Before, she assassinated Yuge? Artois, after escaping to the Golden Rooster Hotel, Franca heard that she had left blood on the scene, and quickly used a mirror double to help her sever the occult connection between the body and the blood.
Franka looked around, and said through the shadow of the night: "When you also become a witch, you will be able to naturally master the magic mirror divination method and the wand divination method, as for the other divination methods, you need to learn, but for witches, they are all very simple." ”
"When doing magic mirror divination, the most important thing is to choose the object of prayer, because the essence of magic mirror divination is to use the occult symbol of the mirror to connect with unknown beings and obtain answers to questions from the other party."
"If an unknown being is in a state of malice, or is in a state of madness, then whether it is directly influencing or giving divination results with hidden traps, it will put you in danger."
"When the time comes, I will give you a few safer prayer objects, which are all verified, among them, the one with the most accurate divination results needs you to pay the corresponding price, unless the matter is particularly critical and the situation is particularly serious, I will not generally pray to him."
"At what cost?" Jaanna was intrigued.
Franka cleared her throat in embarrassment and said, "It may lead to your social death, the cost, not necessarily that serious, but it will definitely disgrace you." ”
She remembered that when she first prayed to that person to do magic mirror divination, she was asked in front of the Judge Lady: When she comforted herself, did she occasionally fantasize about some men and want to give it a try?
That question made her almost smash the mirror as a medium, at that time, she had only become a witch for a long time, and she still knew herself as a complete man, but her body had become a woman, and she was a person who loved freshness and experimentation, and it was inevitable that she would occasionally fantasize about it.
Every time I feel guilty and ashamed, and just like that, I was exposed in front of a demigod, and I had to answer honestly.
To this day, when Franka thinks back to that scene, she still feels the urge to bury her head in the sand and not listen to or see anything.
What is social death? Franka thinks she really went to Gardner? Martin gave it a try, and was obviously affected by this incident, which caused a crack in her inner defense, and she was a little self-defeating.
Social death, you are ashamed, it seems that you have a deep understanding.
Jaanna was keenly aware of what Franca's words meant.
She muttered a few words in her heart, but did not ask.
Franka briefly explained the steps of the magic mirror divination, and finally made a demonstration, she stroked the surface of the mirror with her hand, and recited the existence of a certain person who had verified the safety.
When the mirror showed the light of water, she asked, "Is it dangerous to explore the deep valley quarries in Trier tonight?" ”
Because it is a question divination, the requirements for divination statements are not strict.
In Jana's curious and expectant gaze, an old voice came from the mirror, as if it came from the bottom of the river: "There is a certain danger. ”
