Lumian looked at the pocket watch for a moment to make sure it wasn't mechanically malfunctioning.

And the hour before, he himself did not bump into it, so as not to affect the pocket watch.

"The only thing that makes me feel abnormal since I calibrated my pocket watch is the trance when I leave the 'Alone' bar and the faint ringing of the bell, well, there is one less monocle-wearing guard at the entrance of the 'Different' dance hall, is there a connection between these and the sudden slowdown of my pocket watch by one minute?" Lumian thought about it for a while, and could only find out the suspected reason.

When he returned to the market area, he planned to write to ask the "magician" lady.

Normally, it is impossible for him to trouble the big Arcana card with such a trivial matter, but the abnormality of the pocket watch is likely to occur in the old street, and the Amon in the "different" dance hall has changed a little, these are all reasons not to be negligent.

Lumian picked up his pocket watch, and when the public carriage arrived at a stop, he suddenly stepped out of the carriage and turned into the nearby street, keeping an eye out for people and animals around him.

He changed the public carriage three times in a row to different places, trying to spot and get rid of possible trackers.

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

After completing the process, Lumian entered a department store, put a satchel containing "torture" boxing gloves in the public bathroom cubicle, put on the "lie" ear clip, and changed back to his original appearance.

He also took off his brown jacket and changed into the dark waistcoat he carried in his satchel. Dubois's identity returns to the Candid market area.

Lumian let out a long sigh of relief after writing a letter about his trance, the faint sound of bells, and the changes in the guards of the "different" cabaret to the "magician" lady.

Every time he went to the old street, although he did not encounter a real disaster, he always felt uncomfortable, and there was an indescribable fear stirring in his heart.

Not long after, the "puppet" messenger brought a reply from the "magician" lady:

"Your senses are sharp and correct.

"The trance you appear and the bells you hear are all made by Mr. Fool's 'Angel of Time', who has found his target and cleared all Amon from the 'Different' cabaret and throughout Trier, and your pocket watch slows down by a minute also because of the effects of this battle.

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

After reading the reply from the "magician" lady, Lumian was stunned for several seconds.

So a trance represents an angelic battle?

If it weren't for the fact that he had just calibrated his pocket watch, he wouldn't have found any substantial evidence!

If it weren't for the fact that he still had the angelic creature of Termipolos sealed in his body, he would definitely be like Leah, unable to even hear the bells, and even trance-like creatures!

"Is this the power of angels? That is, the battle between the 'Angels of Time' and the Amuns did not affect the people around them, otherwise the citizens who were in the Old Street at that time would not even know how they died... …

"The pocket watch was a minute slower...... In my brief trance, there was an angel-level battle..... 'Angel of Time' ........ 'Angel of Time' of Mr. 'Fool' can really control time partially......

"As soon as I crossed the gate of divinity, all kinds of abilities became so magical, the repeated cycle of the 'man in the ring', the 'hidden' power of the 'night' path, the starlight gate of the 'magician' lady, and the bell of the 'Angel of Time' were all unimaginable to me before....... "Lumian was surprised and sighed, and for the first time, he was not thirsting for the power of the high sequence because he wanted to resurrect his sister.

It was an instinctive yearning.

The thought that for a while there would be no longer any need to fear the Amuns suddenly popping out of a corner and pushing themselves into a new danger made Lumian feel quite good, and he praised Mr. "Fool" from the bottom of his heart, and praised the "Angel of Time" and his "magician" lady of the Great Arcana brand. “

He relaxed a lot, burned the reply letter, and went to apartment 601 at 3 White Coat Street.

Franka is waiting for him to bring back the intel on the "Alone" bar and "Loki".

"Good news, bad news, which do you want to hear?" Lumian asked with a smile as he closed the door.

Franka looked him up and down:

"You're in a good mood......

"The good news is that you've found a clue about 'Loki'?

"The bad news is that we don't have enough capacity to track it down?"

"Neither." Lumian snatched Franca's easy chair.

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

Before she could "feed" her voice, Lumian continued:

"The good news is that Mr. 'Fool''s 'Angel of Time' has taken action to clean up the Amon of the 'Different' cabaret and the whole of Trier, and if 'Loki' is not absent for no reason at the next party, it means that he has not been 'parasitized' by one of Amon.

"The bad news is that the copy of the information you bought was indeed typed out with a mechanical typewriter in the cellar of the 'Alone' bar, but we can't track down the Eighth Game at all, well, I'm pretty sure it's the Eighth Game stronghold right now."

Leah has been working there as a bartender.

Franka listened with sometimes excitement, sometimes frowning:

"Do 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, directly asking who has used that mechanical typewriter recently will cause you and me to be targeted by the eighth bureau, and making excuses to use that typewriter and try to divinate the nearest user is likely to point to some member of the eighth bureau, or even the Sage.

"The eighth bureau stronghold diagonally opposite the 'different' dance hall must have a high-level person in charge!"

Caught on business, Franca forgot to let Lumien out of her exclusive seat.

Lumian gave a general account of the fact that his pocket watch had slowed down by a minute and the reply from the 'magician' lady, and Franca was amazed and fascinated.

After talking about the "Angel of Time", Lumian thought about it and said:

"'Loki' didn't hide his appearance well at the party, and I suspect he has abilities like 'Nesser's face' or 'lies.'"

Franka nodded:

"If he is really an official member of the eighth game, then I think he should be the extraordinary person of the 'soothsayer' path, at least the 'faceling' of sequence 6, and your 'lie' corresponds to this sequence, well, many of the extraordinary people of the eighth game are the 'soothsayer' path."

"Above the Magician is the 'Faceling'?" When Lumian got his hands on the "lie", he suspected that it was a "soothsayer" route, but he didn't know the name of the sequence.

"Yes, this path is weird and difficult to kill from sequence 7 'magician', and is good at changing, and when it comes to sequence 5, the ability is even more terrifying, and it can silently turn a person into a puppet without ego, and the name is 'Secret Puppet Master'."

Franka, who entered the occult world earlier than Lumian and joined the "Tarot Society" earlier, obviously has more information about the "path of the gods".

After Lumian communicates with Franka about the "soothsayer" pathway, the two of them are caught up in the trouble of finding "Loki" in reality.

At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps went upstairs, and Jane opened the door of apartment 601.

She looked at Lumian, who was sitting in an easy chair, and Franca, who was standing next to her, and asked suspiciously:

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm thinking of a puzzle." Lumian cuts off and tells Jane that he and Franka are in trouble tracking down an enemy codenamed "Loki", and finally asks, "What's your idea?"

"You all vetoed everything I could think of." Jane shook her head amusedly.

Without waiting for the two companions to speak, she said thoughtfully:

"Charles, you can think of yourself as 'Loki', as those guys who like to play tricks on others, think about all kinds of things that happened before from their point of view, see if you can find clues, don't you also like pranks, you should have a common language with them."

My prank was still very different from theirs....... Lumian didn't say it, trying to think back to his motives, thoughts, and mindset changes when he played the prank, in order to analyze the actions and purposes of the April Fools' group.

After a moment, he frowned:

"All pranks are played to bring joy to the target or to be hit, and those who use my sister as the target of the prank, but can't determine the final result, and therefore can't get real happiness from it...

"In the same way, how can they keep track of Franca's movements and see her tragic end? You know, even if Franka never went to that occult meeting, it might have been because of something else. ”

All three people in the room pondered the question:

If the person who has done the prank does not see the end of the prank, he will lack enough sense of accomplishment and will not get the expected happiness, and what does "Loki" and others rely on to determine what happened to Oroel or Franca?

After a while, Lumian said in a deep voice:

"Either the prank is just a cover-up, and they do it for another purpose, or they have a way to monitor the corresponding target."

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

"What's the solution?" Jaanna asked for help.

Lumien shook his head slowly:

"I don't know, this may be a clue."

In the exchange, which was sometimes silent and sometimes discussed, the three of them could not think of an answer, so they could only put this matter aside for the time being.

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

"Themipolos, can I find Loki through the Art of Prophecy?"

The majestic cascading voice of Termiboros sounded:

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