Chapter 141: "Man-Eating Flower"
At the door of the "Cannibal" bar, a figure walked in.
It was a woman who was neither tall nor short, wearing a dark black, relatively conservative long dress, her eyebrows were delicately painted, her skin was heavily foundationed, her cheeks were visibly blushed, her lips were bright and shiny, and her eyes were surrounded by brilliant colors.
Although this woman has the problem of excessive makeup, too thick makeup, and an uncoordinated overall style, her crystal brown eyes, tall and delicate nose bridge, beautiful and moving lip line, and bumpy figure still make her exude a strong charm.
Most of the male patrons in the bar looked at the door, and for a short time no one spoke, and it was only after the woman nodded slightly haughtily at a few of the customers that they seemed to come to life, some trying to strike up a conversation, some talking loudly to their companions, showing themselves.
The woman didn't stop, but made her way through the crowd and sat down on the other side of the bar.
It's not a style, if Franca was here, she would definitely go up and talk to her...... Lumian felt a little sorry for his companion, but he withdrew his gaze and smiled at the bartender, "That lady is very popular."
The bartender put away the expression of looking at the new adventurer and said with a serious face, "She's my boss."
The owner....... Lumian Huo Ran remembered the name of the bar and asked thoughtfully, "Cannibal flowers?"
"It's her." The bartender lowered her voice, then walked over to the beautiful woman with thick makeup and couldn't tell her her age, and poured her a glass of Holland of unknown brand.
It wasn't until the bartender returned to the side that Lumien wondered: why the nickname 'Cannibal'?
"I think she's very popular."
The bartender subconsciously turned his head sideways, glanced at the boss, and found that she was drinking intently, looking aimlessly at the nearby drinkers, and then whispered: 3
"In Port Pelos, a beautiful woman of her level often just enjoys the pursuit and praise of men, and does not give them the opportunity to be really close, but our boss is different, if she takes a fancy to her, she will really invite each other to spend a good night together, and sometimes, in the upstairs room, we can hear her moaning in the hall....."
Speaking of this, the bartender paused, with a look of aftertaste and yearning.
Joy? Lumian frowned imperceptibly and asked with a smile, "Have you ever been fancied?"
The bartender fell silent.
For a moment, Lumien suspected that the other party would smash the cup in his hand on his head.
He changed the subject: "Isn't there that kind of rude and savage man who forces your boss?"
The bartender let out a sigh and said, "You think back to the name of our bar."
Cannibal flowers...... Is that what it means? Lumian came to his senses.
The bartender continued: "All the men who tried to force our boss were either seriously injured, thrown from the upper floors, and some mysteriously disappeared."
"Even those who are fancied by her will turn pale after a night, have no strength in their legs, and cannot walk steadily.
"That's why she got the nickname 'Cannibal Flower', which she didn't mind at all, and later adopted it as the name of the bar."
This is a little different from the style of the "Joy Witches"....... However, the witches also have their own styles, and Franca's "Witch of Pleasure" is different from other "Witches of Pleasure", Lumian satisfied his curiosity.........., did not ask the bar owner about it, took out a deck of ordinary playing cards from the "traveler's bag" and said: "In recent years, have you seen or heard of people who use playing cards as weapons?"
According to Anthony. Rhett's analysis of "Sisoka", the core member of "April Fool's Day" has a strong tendency to express himself, after successfully making the poker that can change the face of the card, with "frost" and "cut" characteristics, it is impossible to use it only in the "April Fool's" prank, and when fighting or murdering anyone, he should also be very happy to use that magical item to end the target's life.
That's the clue to investigate.
The two pranks initiated by "Hisoka" are related to the state of Matani, and involve some more secret or important things in the local area, and it is impossible for people who are not locals, or who have lived in the area for a long time, to suddenly choose this area, and there is enough intelligence to support it.
Lumian has reasonable suspicions that Sisoka's original range of operations was in Matani State and nearby areas.
That's why he thought that "Hisoka" should have been warned by "Loki", and had already evacuated this place in advance, lurked, and had to go around Matani.
Only by mastering the past of "Hisoka" can we grasp his present and end his future!
The native bartender sneered at Lumian, "Do you think I'll know?"
"You should go to the patrol team and ask about this kind of thing, and as for whether they will answer you, that's another matter."
Patrol team...... Lumian nodded slightly.
The Patrol is a team of Extraordinaries established by General Quelarril, who ruled the state of Matani, to deal with occult events and battles between the Extraordinary.
In this princely state, after the withdrawal of most of the forces of the Indisian colonists, neither the churches of the surviving "Eternal Sun" and the "God of Steam and Machines" churches, nor the newly built churches of the "Mother Earth" churches, have received official law enforcement powers.
Although the three major churches certainly also have extraordinary squads stationed in churches in different cities, they can only be used to protect themselves and the believers hiding in the churches, and they cannot take over incidents that the police can't deal with like they did in their original sphere of influence, and eliminate anomalies that may have hidden dangers.
The corresponding powers were taken back by General Quelarril and handed over to the newly formed patrol team.
Some of the extraordinary members of the patrol came from the army of General Quilariel, some belonged to the remnants of the former Byran Empire, and some were original adventurers and bounty hunters.
What a simple name...... Lumian glanced sideways at the few wanted notices on the wall, and thought for a moment, "General Quelaril doesn't want adventurers to use Matani as a hunting paradise, and doesn't want them to fight in the streets here under the pretext of chasing a certain target on the wanted notice?"
The bartender glanced at Lumian in surprise: "Among the adventurers, your mind is quite good."
"In Matani, we only want people who have committed crimes here, and no one cares what you have done elsewhere."
It is one of the paradises of adventure...... Lumian picked up the sugar and drank the rest.
He was about to change to a glass of spirits with the characteristics of Sibelang, tasting different flavors, when suddenly he felt that someone was watching him.
It was the owner of the "Cannibal" bar, the woman in a black dress with bright makeup.
Lumian nodded calmly, retracting his gaze to the bartender.
Although this "man-eating flower" is indeed very beautiful, it cannot be compared with the "witch" who is known for her feminine charm, and Lumian does not like such heavy makeup.
At this moment, the woman stood up, she walked up to Lumian's side, curled her lips and said, "I can feel that you are a living volcano like me, but it has not yet erupted, and you are still struggling to endure and wait in agony. "
"Would you like to feel my enthusiasm tonight?"
Lumian raised his right hand and touched his face.
That's what I like?
Speaking of which, I have been popular with girls since I was a child, and after becoming a "hunter", there are often all kinds of beautiful women around me...... Is this the hidden influence of the real man pathway? That's not right, according to the description of the "Great Adventurer" series and the rumors I heard at sea recently, Mr. "Fool" is also a "hunter" messenger, but his crush is unsuccessful, and he doesn't have any decent female companions.....
Lumian muttered a few words silently, stood up, and asked with a smile, "What do you call it?"
"Bellotia." The woman's smile widened, making Lumian think she might look better if she had removed the heavy makeup from her face.
Lumian took off the golden straw hat on his head, pressed it to his chest, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Lady Bellotia, thank you for the invitation, but I have someone I like."
As he spoke, he ignored Belotia's slightly stiffened face, walked past the "man-eater", and walked calmly towards the door of the bar.
Bellotia didn't stop him, but just watched as many of the bar's customers pulled open the heavy wooden door and walked out.
As the wooden door closed on its own, Lumian showed a sneering expression and said to himself silently: "I can even resist the charm of the 'Witch of Pleasure', how can I risk finding a woman who doesn't know the origin and the purpose?"
"Using someone you like as an excuse is considered to be very respectful of your dignity, if you want to retaliate like this, then I'm not welcome......."
Leaving the bar early, Lumien wanders the neighborhood, looking for secluded alleys to see if he can run into something or a perpetrator to get a source of information.
After turning several streets, he heard the sound of ping-pong coming from a dark and uninhabited alley.
Lumian quietly leaned in, went deep into the alley, and saw two men fighting fiercely.
One of them has more obvious indigenous characteristics, not too old, only in his twenties, his face is pale, he holds a sharp but heavy short knife in his right hand, his left palm is slightly open, there is a shadow floating in the palm of his palm, and the surroundings are gloomy.
The other one is in his early thirties, with ordinary facial features, an expressionless face, short black hair, and dark green eyes surrounded by more white.
He wears the usual white shirt and black trousers, and each holds a scalpel-like but longer and sharper weapon in each hand.
At this time, the two were fighting fiercely, and the weapons collided rapidly, making a clanging sound.
As soon as he saw such a performance, Lumian knew that they were not ordinary people, and they all had extraordinary qualities.
Lumian stopped his progress, put his hands in his pockets, propped his right foot back, and leaned against the wall next to him, watching the hand-to-hand combat between the extraordinary with no secret of his presence.
