Chapter 123: Caution
The back alleys at night are quiet and deserted.
Lumian avoided the rat-infested rubbish heaps, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes changing direction, sometimes walking in a large circle, as if he were getting rid of an invisible stalker.
Finally, he arrived at White Coat Street and entered the "abandoned" safe house where the lease had not yet expired.
Then, following the process, he closed the thick curtains and surveyed every corner of the room.
Compared to the past, he not only burned the bed bugs and drove away the rats, but also did not spare all kinds of flying insects the size of rice grains, so as to make the place "clean".
With this done, Lumian sat down at the table, flattened the paper, and began to write:
"Dear Ms. Hela,
"When I participated in an April Fool's Day panel discussion as my sister Muggle, I noticed that 'Hisoka', 'Mad Woman', 'Bard', and 'Salted Egg Superman' reacted significantly to Muggle's appearance after a long time, and I had a friend who was suspected of being a 'Muggle' psychiatrist during that last time.
"At the same time, they are all cooperating with 'Loki' to act, trying to trick the members of the other groups into going underground to find the remnants of the ancient sun god.
"I thought 'Loki' was the de facto leader of April Fool's Day, and if someone else had a problem, he must have something anomalous, so I bought a copy of the 'Ancient Sun God' information from him and asked someone to help me divinate the mechanical typewriter used at the 'Alone' bar on Old Street in the Trier Observatory district.
"After on-the-spot investigation, I found out that it was the stronghold of the eighth game, but I seemed to be targeted by 'Loki', and I was attacked in the evening, and almost became his secret puppet, relying on my own ability and the items on my body to barely escape, but this also caused my real identity to be exposed to him.

"At the time of writing, I'm hiding in the safe house I've prepared, but I'm not sure if I'm really asking 'Loki' to follow me.
"I feel that the possibility of him having a problem has become very high, and if this is not clarified, one day in the future, he may bring great disaster to the research society.
"I hope to get your help.
Lumian was not embarrassed and made his intentions straightforward.
He just wanted to use himself as bait to fish out "Loki", and let "Hela", who can borrow "hidden" power, hide in the shadows, and give the "April Fools" leader a fatal blow!
In the face of this kind of weird and difficult to kill guy, perhaps only "Hela", whose sequence is higher than him and Franca, and has a way to "hide", can find out the target without being discovered in advance.
Fold the letter, Lumian quickly set up the altar and summoned the sterling silver skull head with pale flames in its eye sockets.
Franka returned to apartment 601 at 3 White Coat Street incognito, and persuaded Jane to go home temporarily and avoid it for two or three days.
After repeatedly confirming that she was really unable to help, Jana scolded and walked away, sensibly giving up on her stubbornness.
Franka quickly changed her clothes and relied on the camouflage props she got from Lentas, a member of the Blessed Society, to change her appearance.
While putting on makeup, she scolded the mother of fate:
"One, Jayna shouldn't have been allowed to go first! She's better at using these things than I am, and she's wearing more makeup. ”
This is the basic skill of an apprentice actor.
Simply disguised, Franka was sometimes invisible, sometimes hidden in the shadows, and circled the market area for a small half circle.
In the process, she not only made anti-divination efforts, but also used the anti-stalking skills she learned from Lumian.
Eventually, she returned to White Coat Street and entered the building with the house number "6".
The safe house she had prepared for herself was located here, with a view of the original residence diagonally opposite.
Call...... Having completed all the processes, Franka breathed a sigh of relief and lay down in the Rune easy chair.
At the same time, she muttered to herself:
I've known Charles for less than three months, so how do I feel like I've experienced more than I've experienced in the previous year......
"Damn, is this guy the reincarnation of a scourge?
Lumian waited nearly a quarter of an hour in the safe house on White Coat Street before he saw the sterling silver skull's head emerge from the darkness that suddenly appeared, biting a piece of paper folded in half.
"Thank you." Lumian said habitually and took the letter.
If "Hela" is unwilling to deal with the members of the "Curly Baboon Research Society" who are only suspects, then he can only give up the plan, hurry to find Franca, and take her to the hilly area, Erato area and other remote places with her "spirit shuttle", and then sneak back.
He felt that this was the only way to truly get rid of "Loki's" tracking or locking, and that he would no longer be able to move in the open unless he changed areas.
Lumian unfolded the paper and found that Hela's reply was succinct:
"Okay.
The corners of Lumien's mouth curled, and a crimson flame erupted from his hand, igniting the reply.
Immediately afterward, he restored the surface of the table to its normal state and used the "Lies" ear clip back to its original appearance.
Lumian then extinguished the carbide lamp, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
As the minutes ticked by, the night grew darker and darker, and the area around White Coat Street gradually became quieter.
The crimson moonlight filtered through the thick curtains, bringing a bit of brightness to the room.
I don't know how long later, a small gray-black figure came in through the hole in the corner.
It was an ordinary-looking mouse.
Slowly, silently, the rat came to the table, climbed up, and walked up and down the surface, sniffing and sniffing, as if to inspect its territory for encroachment.
After a few moments, it ended the move, shrank into a dark area that the dim moonlight could not illuminate, and turned its body to the bed.
The rat looked at Lumien with a deep gaze, revealing a very human feeling.
In this way, it seemed to be transformed into a statue in the darkness, motionless, and remained in a state of staring at Lumian.
Nearly ten minutes later, there was a faint, imperceptible sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the apartment's door.
Da, da, da, the footsteps are getting closer.
Suddenly, the footsteps disappeared, as if they had never appeared, or stopped somewhere, no longer moving forward.
The mouse then left the dark area where the crimson moonlight could not reach directly, and slid down the foot of the table, returning to the hole it had drilled through.
It quickly vanished, and the room became quieter, except for the faint sound of slow, long human breathing.
Lumien never opened his eyes, his body was very relaxed, and he seemed to have really fallen asleep.
6 White Coat Street, inside an apartment.
0 points in the mouth,
Franka lay in her easy chair, her body swaying back and forth with the chair.
She thought about the question of what to do after that, there was such a strange and terrible enemy hiding in the shadows, peeping dangerously, it was difficult for people to feel at ease and relax whether they were sitting or standing.
"It must be solved as soon as possible, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, a negligence is over.........
"Or would you give up the mission and go somewhere else? Or, under the pretext that there is a high probability that the mission will fail, I can directly ask the 'Judge' lady to help me catch 'Loki', which is feasible, but I will be burdened with a debt that will not be repaid until I become a demigod, and even if Charles takes half of it, it will be a very heavy burden......
"You can also directly ask Ms. 'Hela' to call an emergency meeting, accuse 'Loki' and others of killing 'Muggles' on the spot, and ask to find trustworthy members to interrogate each other to see which side is lying, uh, 'Loki' Whether they are really wrong is not completely sure, but I collude with outsiders and bring in spies is a sure thing.......
The more Franca thought about it, the more irritated she became, and she directly used the colloquialism of her hometown, without deliberately transforming it.
Suddenly, she had a strong sense of danger.
Almost at the same time, she felt an eerie chill erupt from within her body.
Her body quickly stiffened, and a figure was reflected in her lake-colored eyes, the same short black formal dress that the young staff often wear, the brown hair that was neatly combed back, the face with a bit of Southern Continent blood, flashing a little dark green but dull eyes...
"Resentful Spirits"! The term crossed Franca's mind, and she knew what kind of attack she had encountered.
Her thoughts began to blur, and her right hand rose upwards as if against something invisible.
Franka puffs up the spirituality in her spiritual body, and wants to burst out the black flame of the "witch" from the inside out.
This is aimed at spirits, which can burn the "resentful soul", and the "witch" is obviously more resistant to this kind of flame than other ways, and it is completely possible to exchange injuries for getting out of trouble, or even severely damage the enemy.
At this moment, a rather magnetic voice sounded in Franca's ears:
"It's useless, give up."
The voice was like an arrow that stabbed Franka's spirit, interrupting her attempt to condense the Black Flame.
As soon as the voice fell, her mind seemed to be covered with a thick fog, and a thick piece of frosted glass seemed to appear in front of her eyes.
The voice continued:
"I don't have to go all out in the evening, it's just a test, that guy who has a high-ranking existence sealed on his body and pretends to be a Muggle' must have some special abilities, if I don't do a good job of gathering information, I may die."
"After the temptation, things are more interesting, I just went to his place, and I don't feel safe enough, so I plan to turn you into my secret puppet first, and do a sneak attack by surprise.
"Hehe, you think you can get out of my lock? We are all a little special in us, as long as the distance is within a kilometer, I can sense your location with the help of the power of the Great Being.
"I've long wanted a 'witch' to be a secret puppet, it must taste good........
Franka's spirit was affected by the sound again and again, and her efforts to activate the "mirror double" and condense the black flame in advance were interrupted again and again, and her thoughts became more and more stagnant, and her joints seemed to be filled with glue.
意 says:
"He, 'Loki' can, sense, my location?
"What's special, why is he, can ........
Before Franka could come up with a possibility to make a complete resistance, the magnetic voice was already laughing, "I can't afford to delay any longer, I have to speed up my progress so that there will be no accidents." ”
At this, the voice turned respectful, and recited in a language that Franca was unusually familiar with:
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Xianzun;
"Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianjun........
