Chapter 32: Determination (Thanks to the Carbon Bone for the Silver Alliance)
Butner was stunned and blurted out, "You walked blindfolded that day, it really worked......"
The place to stay turned out to be the next target of "The Devil Wizard" Bourman!
Without waiting for Lumian to respond, the adventurer muttered to himself, "Are you one of the lucky ones?"
No, the Lady of Calamity........ Lumian replied in his heart.
In a flash of thought, Butner suddenly had a new guess: this guy can't be the "Devil Wizard" Bourman himself, right?
He goes to the place of the explosion to investigate is to return to the crime scene to show off, and he walks blindfolded to randomly pick the next victim!
This is a much more reasonable explanation than being favored by luck!
Lumian glanced at Butna's tense facial muscles and said with a smile, "You don't think I'm Bourman, do you?"
"I've only been in Port Farin for a few days?"
yes, you had an accident the night you arrived in Port Fallin...... Butner didn't dare say that.
"I was still praying in the church when there was an explosion in the Black Pearl area." Lumian amusedly offered an alibi.
Batner thought for a moment and was relieved, but the doubt on his face remained.
Lumian sighed and said, "I didn't actually think that the day before yesterday I could really run into something related to the 'Devil Wizard' when I walked around blindfolded, I just thought it was fun."
It's the truth.
But the result made him suspect that the pollution caused by "0-01" may be more serious than he thought.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Trier, who existed as a seal of the Quaternary Age, effectively suppressed the existing problems in him.
The excuse "I think it's funny" barely convinced Butner because he felt that Louis. Berry is such a person.
But there are some traps hidden in the other party's fun from time to time, and whoever treats him as a fool will become a fool!
"Maybe I was really blessed the day before yesterday." Lumian came to the final conclusion.
Then he went on to tell the whole story of his speculation about the relationship between the "Devil Wizard" and Fidel, and at the end he said regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't think I can be so lucky."
Lumian's reasoning completely convinced Butner that the reason why the "Devil Wizard" Boorman was never caught and was able to obtain resources was because of the close symbiotic relationship he had formed with Fidel, a big businessman, and that the subsequent tragedy was caused by the pressure of the official Extraordinary Person's investigation, which led to their infighting.
This excludes Louie. Berry is the possibility of the "Devil's Wizard", he has only been in Port Fallin for a few days, and Bulman has been here for a long time.
"It's a pity......," Butner sighed, "if you sell the clues about the close connection between 'Devil Wizard' and Fidel to the authorities in advance, you will definitely get a lot of bounty." ”
From 5000 Fergin!
Speaking of this, Butner shook his head: "No, without evidence, the officials won't believe it, we can't tell them, we are really lucky,
Blindfolded found the clue, right? They won't believe it, they will only arrest us as fraudsters. ”
Lumian suddenly laughed: "Won't you fake a little evidence to prove the authenticity of the clue?"
"Let's just say that I saw someone suspected of being a 'devil wizard' appear at the back door of Fidel's house, and let the official extraordinary person confirm it himself, and when the time comes, he will naturally find out the problem."
"This, that's okay?" Butner's mouth was slightly open.
"Why not?" Lumian smiled, "If you really find the 'Devil Wizard', you can tell them, don't worry about the details, just say whether the clues are true or not, whether it will help you catch the 'Devil Wizard', if you can't track down the 'Devil Wizard', it will be a minor fraud at most, and you will only be arrested for a few days." “
"Doesn't the official Extraordinary not allow an adventurer to report some clues that he himself is not sure of? This will only cause them to miss out on the real message. ”
After listening to Lumian's words, Batna was silent for a few seconds and said, "You don't have archipelago blood, do you?"
It can be said that he is very good at scams.
Lumian said casually, "I know an archipelago in Trier, and he has a lot of experience and skills in scamming."
As he spoke, Lumian raised his left hand with interest and pinched his left eye socket.
He looked at Butner and said, "How many years have you been an adventurer?" Why is it still so, so simple?"
"More than a year." Batner struggled to argue, "I'm just a habitual observance of the laws and rules when dealing with the authorities, and I'm just as nimble in the face of pirates and other adventurers. ”
"Aren't those adventurers who secretly provide clues to the authorities also full of lies, and they can be deceived if they can?" Lumian said with a smile.
He wondered if Batner was well-born and well-educated, so he would be rigid and follow the rules.
This can be preliminarily confirmed from the other party's clothing and appearance.
Seeing that Butna was silent, Lumian drank the remaining salted coffee and looked back at the lively open-air market: "Try not to go to morgues, cemeteries, etc. during this time."
As soon as Bartner wanted to ask why, he instantly understood the true meaning of this advice: without the resources provided by the big businessman Fidel, the "devil wizard" would probably be forced to take some action!
............
At noon, Lumien returned to room 5 of the first class of the "Asuka", and saw that the master bedroom had replaced the carpet, bed, wardrobe, desk and other furniture, and rearranged various decorations, but the twists and cracks of the metal walls had only been slightly repaired, and they had not really been repaired.
Not long after, his messenger, Bayinfer the "Confessor," stepped out of the void and handed him a letter.
This is from Franca: "Based on your latest description and my discussion with '007' last night, I have a preliminary suspicion that 'The Devil Wizard' Bulman forcibly reversed the sequence.
"He was supposed to be a 'wizard', but in order to resurrect his wife, he switched to the non-adjacent path of 'Death' and became half-insane, half-human-like and half-monster.
"This can actually be explained by the 'wizard' obtaining the gift of the evil god, but I have observed your situation, there is no situation where the transcendent abilities of the two paths merge and mutate, and this is clearly presented in the battle of Bourman, the illusory eye you mentioned has both the 'voyeuristic eye' to see the real side, and also shows the suppression and even enslavement of the spirit itself by the 'Grim Reaper' path.
"As far as I know, the 'Grim Reaper' path has the ability of 'Eye of Death' since Sequence 8 'Gravedigger', and it has fused with 'Eye of Voyeurism' to form that special illusory eye?"
Seeing this, Lumian Huo Ran recalled the appearance of the illusory eye: vertically inlaid on the forehead, illusory and blurred, deep purple and almost black, with a large number of pale patterns......
It's really a bit like a fusion mutation of the "Voyeur Eye" and the "Grim Reaper" pathway abilities.
Lumian looked down and read the rest of the story:
"The white feathery hairs, the rotting wounds, the drive to multiple undead creatures, the unstable emotional state, and the extreme way of behaving all indirectly confirmed my suspicions......
"The origin of the old bloodstain is very strange, I have done a few 'magic mirror divination', looking for different interrogators, but I only got the answer that it came from the depths of the spirit world, there is no further information, it seems that the half-crazy and irreversible Bourman has some other chances."
Unstable emotional ...... Extreme behavior ....... irreversible half-madness....... Lumien chewed on these descriptions and sighed inaudibly:
How determined and desperate Bulman must have been when he chose to drink the potion of the "Grim Reaper" path!
The Wild Extraordinaries do not know that they can jump to the adjacent path in a certain sequence, and will only continue to walk in a "divine path", for them, the scattered cases and hearsay around them are telling them that once the "divine path" is chosen, it cannot be changed, and if they forcibly drink potions from other ways, they will go crazy at least and collapse and die at worst.
Moreover, "Voyeur" and "Grim Reaper" are indeed not adjacent paths and cannot be jumped.
Without the determination not to be afraid of death, without the belief that he would resurrect his wife even if he went mad, Bulman would not have drunk the potion of the "Grim Reaper" pathway.
Lumian tried to put himself in that situation, and felt like he would make the same choice.
That's why he had mixed emotions at this time.
At the end of her letter, Franca wrote:
"You don't need to worry about the rest of the matter, with Bourman's mental state, without Fidel's support and restrictions, it won't be long before he will reappear, in order to collect materials for the next experiment, when the time comes, even if he can succeed once or twice, he can't continue to succeed, and in a few weeks, or even a few days, he will be purged by the official extraordinary."
Lumian glanced at the "penitent" Bayinfer, who had not yet left: "Help me give the reply to the one who sent the letter."
As he spoke, he wrote a quick line of words: "I'll kill Bourman as soon as possible."
Not long after, the "penitent" Bayinfell brought back a reply from Franca: "Why?"
On the same piece of paper, Lumian wrote: "I want to punish him for his sins......."
Lumi paused for a moment and continued, "And, put an end to his suffering."
After habitually folding the letter into squares, Lumian glanced at the messenger as he handed it to Bayinfell: "Wouldn't it be troublesome to send letters back and forth like this?"
It's not a concern, it's a doubt. “
When the letter was delivered, the "penitent" Bayinfer did not leave immediately, but waited to see if there was a reply.
This time, Bayinfer was not silent, and he replied in a low voice, "Being busy will make me feel better."
"It's better to have something to do than to always look into the dark."
Lumi listened quietly, without responding, and watched as the "penitent" Bayinfer turned and walked into the void.
He actually felt a little empathy for those two sentences.
Franca didn't stop Lumian, and replied succinctly and forcefully: "Be careful!"
Call...... Lumien exhaled, walked to the window of the living room, and set his eyes on the basking sun of Port Fallin and Mount Andatna in the distance.
