Chapter 181 The Messenger's Reaction (Last day to ask for monthly tickets) In the evening, Market Avenue, Breeze Ballroom. As soon as Lumian reached the door, two gangsters who were guarding there came over to greet him: "Good evening, Boss." Still wearing a white shirt with a black vest and his sleeves rolled up high, Lumian, full of youthful temperament, smiled and nodded. Louis and Sakota had been waiting for the new leader to come back, and when they saw him walk into the dance hall, they immediately left the bar and put on smiles. "Boss, why don't you take us with you? You will be unprotected!" Louis showed his loyalty in this way. Lumian responded with a smile: "You're protecting me? "I'm really worried that something might happen and you'll get beaten to death, and I'll have to pay you compensation." Louis smiled awkwardly: "I know you are very capable, Boss. You can handle Hammer At and Wolf Maggot by yourself, but there is a saying that two fists cannot beat four hands. Besides, we all have guns and our marksmanship is pretty good." Two fists cannot defeat four hands? Isn't this what Emperor Roselle said? How did it become a common saying? Yes, Aurore also suspected that many swear words also came from Emperor Roselle, but no one has verified it... Lumian looked at Louis, who looked like a tough guy but had a flattering smile, and Sakota, who had curly brown hair, a strong and sturdy body, and thick lips, and nodded slightly. "You can follow me when I tell you to. When I don't tell you to, just help me watch the dance hall. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be shot.
"Well, where's the shooting range?" "It's in the basement of the dance hall." Louis pointed to the bottom of his feet. "Other bosses will also come here to practice shooting, but they must bring their own bullets." "Very good." Lumian nodded in satisfaction. He had an urgent need to practice shooting, as he lacked effective means of long-range attack. Louis asked again: "Boss, the environment at the Golden Rooster Hotel is too bad. Do you want to move to the ballroom? There are several rooms on the second floor for you to choose from. Or, do you plan to stay directly in the room that Baron Brinell originally used for temporary rest?" He was eager to show his attitude. After all, he and Sakota used to be Baron Brinell's confidants. If he didn't get the trust of the new leader, he might be sent to do things like gatekeeping. In that case, not only would his status decline, he would be bullied by those Savoy party members with whom he had a bad relationship, and his income would also be significantly reduced. Lumian thought for a moment and said: "Show me the rooms." This is just the right time to perform the ritual to summon the messenger from Ms. Magician. Lumian had no plans to check out of the room at the Golden Rooster Hotel for the time being. His idea was: every night, after sending away his two personal bodyguards, Louis and Sakota, he would randomly choose to sleep in one of the rooms on the second floor of the Breeze Ballroom and in Room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel, so as to avoid attacks at night to the greatest extent possible. Occasionally, he would also include the safe house he rented on White Coat Street as an option. He felt that the Sting Gang would not let him off easily as he had killed three of their leaders and done everything he could to provoke them. When the official suppression was relaxed a little, they would most likely resort to assassination and other retaliatory actions. Lumian was very sure that the other party had been provoked, because his magic potion had been further digested, and in another month or two, he would be able to consider the promotion to "Arsonist". Lumian himself was not too worried about being secretly attacked by the Sting Gang leaders such as "Black Scorpion" Roger. He had Mr. K's finger on him, and even Susanna Mathis, who was equivalent to a Sequence 5 Beyonder, had a good chance of blocking it, not to mention "Black Scorpion" Roger and others who had not yet become "Sowers"? He was just afraid that once a fight really broke out, Mr. K would not be able to hold back and would kill "Black Scorpion" Roger. In that case, Louis Lund would definitely not appear again and the clue would be cut off. After going up to the second floor, passing through the cafe and entering the corridor, Lumian pointed to the room closer to his office and said: "That's it." The room was furnished with various relatively classical furniture, including a four-piece set of dark red velvet. It was very clean and even had an easy chair with a cushion. "Boss, do we need to replace all these cloth products with new ones?" Louis asked flatteringly. Compared to him, Sakota is more silent. “No need.” Lumian made an excuse and sent two bodyguards to guard the door leading from the cafe to the second-floor corridor. He locked the door, sat down at the large wooden table by the window, and began to write a letter to Ms. Magician.
In the letter, he first emphasized that he had completed Mr. K's mission, initially gained the other party's trust, was preached by him, and hoped to join the secret organization behind him. He then asked whether he should really pray to Mr. K's Lord and whether this would lead to him being watched by that existence. Finally, he mentioned what he had done recently and pointed out that certain coincidences made him uneasy. After folding the letter neatly, Lumian set up the altar and created the "spiritual wall". After completing the summoning ritual, he looked at the candlelight that was stained with a faint blue hue and waited in the eerie and cold environment. Soon, the "doll" that was as tall as a forearm appeared above the fire. Wearing a pale gold dress, it scanned the area with its unfocused light blue eyes, raised its right hand, and pinched its small, pale nose: "It stinks! It stinks! "This place is not as clean as before!" “Isn’t this place very clean?” Lumian looked around in astonishment. “There are no bedbugs, and it’s just been cleaned.” The messenger still pinched his nose and said in a disembodied and ethereal voice: “There are some old bones buried in the ground here! “They’re dirty, smelly and disgusting!” After saying that, the blonde "doll" grabbed the letter and disappeared in a flash. It doesn't want to stay even a second longer! Old bones underground? Lumian briefly repeated the messenger's words with a hint of confusion. He remembered that the Breeze Ballroom seemed to be built on the original church cemetery, and the corpses and ashes were moved to the underground tomb. After the Savoy Party bought the building, they still felt it was a bit eerie and feared that there might be some corpses left deep underground, so they deliberately made a spherical statue made of white skulls and placed it at the door, and engraved the corresponding inscription on it. Judging from the messenger's reaction, Lumian suspected that there were indeed corpses buried underground here, and that they were quite old. "When St. Robert's Church moved the corpses and ashes from the original cemetery to the catacombs, they shouldn't have left some behind intentionally, unless they didn't find it and they didn't know about it... Could there be another cemetery hidden under the original cemetery, a cemetery from the Fourth Epoch? So, that's why the messenger reacted so strongly? Well, don't worry about those old bones underground for now. There hasn't been anything unusual in the Breeze Ballroom over the years. It's impossible for something to go wrong as soon as I get here, right?" Lumian thought as he ended the ceremony and cleaned up the altar. He sat down in the easy chair, rocking gently, and waited for Ms. Magician's reply. After a while, it was completely dark, and Lumian was considering whether to have Louis and the others deliver dinner directly to the room, or to enjoy it in a cafe or bar. Suddenly, a piece of paper folded into a square fell from the sky and landed on him. This time, the "doll" messenger didn't even show its face, which shows how much it hates the overall "environment" of the Breeze Ballroom. I'll just have to summon him at the Golden Rooster Inn or the safe house next time... Lumian unfolded the letter and read it carefully: "You've done a great job. It seems that you have won Mr. K's appreciation and initial recognition. "Next, you just need to follow his instructions. When necessary, I will tell you in advance the real purpose. “You can believe the existence Mr. K mentioned. Anyway, you already have traces of two existences on you, so adding one more won’t be a big problem. I’m just worried that it will be too crowded. "Haha, the above sentence is a joke, the real solution is: "You can pretend to believe it, but every time you go to see Mr. K, before participating in the corresponding prayer, pray to our Lord for the protection of the angels. You should have mastered the corresponding ritual magic, right? If not, look through your sister's witchcraft notes. "Remember, you must never recall that person's name, even if the order is messed up, unless you are sure that you have been blessed by the angel at that time. "I know that the more you try not to think about some things, the more you can't help but think about them. You can try to seek help from your psychologist in this regard during the next treatment. In other words, you have to postpone the matter of falsely believing that person until after the next treatment. “As for coincidences, there should be many factors involved, reflected in different things. "First, the pollution sealed in your body comes from the existence named Fate. Fate is related to destiny. It will disturb your destiny to a certain extent and make you meet some people and things that you are 'destined' to meet.
"Secondly, Mr. K should have made some arrangements, such as sending people to hide in the shadows to monitor you and giving those gang leaders some psychological hints. This makes me suspect that he is a Sequence 6 'Hypnotist' or Sequence 5 'Dream Walker' of the 'Audience' pathway. However, according to your previous description, he also has the ability of 'Notary', so he is most likely a 'Shepherd', which is Sequence 5 of the 'Secret Prayer' pathway, and this pathway belongs to the existence that Mr. K believes in. “The ‘Shepherds’ can herd the souls and characteristics of several Beyonders, thereby using their abilities. This makes each ‘Shepherd’ very powerful, standing at the top of the mid-sequence. "Third, it comes from the law of aggregation and the repulsion and aggregation conjecture I mentioned before. Believe me, if nothing unexpected happens, you will encounter more evil god believers, more hunters and witches in a short period of time. "Good job, Seven of Wands." "Shepherd"? Sounds powerful... I've already met another hunter, plus two witches... Lumian ignited the reply from the "magician" lady by rubbing her spirituality.
