Chapter 380: An Earlier Traveler In response to Lumian's greeting, the dozen or so members of "April Fool's Day" fell into silence for a short while. There were several people whose gazes and body language made Lumian feel that there were bigger problems. They are the "Bard" who wears stockings to cover his face, the "Hisoka" who wears a half-face mask, has red standing hair and has tears and star-shaped makeup on his cheeks, the "Mad Woman" with red, yellow and white clown paint, and the "Ultraman" who is dressed in a funny and humorous manner. Some of the four "April Fools' Day" group members showed surprise and confusion in their eyes, some shrank their bodies unconsciously, some subconsciously narrowed their eyes, and some subtly changed their body posture, appearing more defensive than before. If Lumian had not often consulted Anthony Reid, the "psychologist", during this period of time, and concentrated on memorizing the changes in eyes and body movements of a guilty person when he found that the victim who had long been dead was still alive, he would definitely not be able to distinguish it so clearly and would have missed some things more or less. In comparison, the reactions of "Loki" and "I have a friend", whom Lumian had previously suspected, were normal in all aspects. ——The former is the founder and leader of the "April Fools' Day" group. If there is really any abnormality in this group, the probability of him being fine is very low. According to "Hidden Blade" Franka, the latter is suspected to be the "psychologist" of the "audience" pathway. When Aurore recorded the knowledge of this pathway, the content was seriously missing, and it was not consistent with the information revealed in the few words in the dream. "Loki", wearing a black robe like a circus fortune teller, simply used the shadow of his hood to blur his face, and seemed not to be worried at all about being seen by others. After a brief silence, he said without disguising his surprise: "'Muggle', you show up again.
"I thought you went crazy from listening to the after-school tutorials of the Hidden Sage and lost control, so much so that you didn't attend any parties for several months." "RAP, it's RAP, not after-school tutoring." The "bard" wearing stockings on his head corrected with a smile. Lumian had heard from Franca that RAP was a strange form of music, and many members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society liked to compare the dangerous mumblings from unknown entities to RAP. The “Muggle” kept her red lips slightly raised and said: "There are signs and manifestations of a bit of madness, but it's still controllable." This is a very common topic in the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society". Many members have lost control for various reasons, and have turned into monsters or died. Therefore, the "psychologists" can make a lot of money just by treating their companions' psychological or mental problems at similar gatherings. The "friend of mine" wearing a white coat and a bird-beak mask nodded: "I evaluated your mental and psychological state last year and the problem wasn't too serious. But you haven't had regular evaluations for almost a year. Be careful. I have a friend who was careless and too confident and ended up in a mental hospital." This "psychologist" seemed normal enough and cared about his patients, but the fact that he joined the "April Fools' Day" group made Lumian think that he must be abnormal as well, at least his mental state was not very healthy. A mischief king like Lumian does not despair about the future and pursues fun as the only purpose of life. People who are in similar situations have more or less psychological problems. Loki did not ask why Muggle had missed so many gatherings. He spread his hands and said to all the members of the Curly-haired Baboon Research Society in the area where the April Fools' Day group was located: "Everyone, I recently discovered another time traveler from history!" "Who?" asked the "bard" in stockings on his head, and the other members immediately focused their attention. Seeing everyone looking at him, Loki gestured and said: "I have obtained some ancient books, which mentioned that there was an 'ancient sun god' in the Third Age. "Haven't we always wondered why the scriptures of the various churches, especially those of the Church of the Eternal Sun, are so similar to the religious scriptures of our world? "Now, I should have found the answer." As the "April Fools' Day" leader spoke, he nodded his chest four times in an up-down, left-right order, as if referring to a certain religion in his hometown. Lumian's eyelids jumped: Mr. K also made this gesture when he prayed to that person! Is it a coincidence, or is there some inevitable connection?
Moreover, isn’t the “Ancient Sun God” the father of the angel in the “Different” dance hall? Loki continued in an exaggerated tone: "Yes, it is just as you think. The scriptures of the major churches are all copied from the 'Ancient Sun God', but the emphasis is different and the corresponding details have been modified. “I only found a few of his books, but I can tell that they are definitely from our world. "I hope you can collect more information about the 'Ancient Sun God' and eventually confirm that He is also a time traveler, earlier than Roselle. If you want to take a look at the books I have obtained, remember to seek a trade later. 100 grams of gold or equivalent currency in exchange for a copy. It's cheap, isn't it? We are all family, and this involves the hope of returning home. Otherwise, I would definitely not sell you just this little gold." The funny and funny "Ultraman" sighed and said: "This is meaningless. I know that you think that he has become a god and must know the truth of the whole world better than us. Maybe he has mastered the secret of time travel and the way to go back. But according to you, didn't he go back?" "To see the light!" Loki raised his lips and said, "And I suspect that the reason why He couldn't return was that He fell and died in a war between gods." "It sounds interesting." "Hiso", whose clothes were printed with poker patterns, suddenly spoke. Loki slowly looked around at the members of the Curly-haired Baboon Research Society and said with a smile: "That person's information and books were deliberately erased, and only a small amount is circulated in secret. Most of them are hidden underground, close to the source of power left by that person. "It is said that in places like this, the higher the sequence, the more dangerous it is and the easier it is to get out of control. Ordinary Beyonders like us have a chance to get close to it. Maybe that's where the truth of the connection between the two worlds and the way to return home are hidden." When he said this, "Loki" glanced over Lumian's masked face. Was this an attempt to quietly encourage Aurore and the other members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society to go underground? Lumian was wary of the possibility of a "prank". Of course, there was another reason why he could detect the problem instantly. That was because Ms. Justice had mentioned that the higher the sequence, the more dangerous it was when approaching the "Samaritan Woman's Fountain". Moreover, she had also explained the essence of the problem. This made Lumian suspect that the remains of the "ancient sun god" mentioned by "Loki" was a place similar to the "Samaritan Woman's Spring". He knew very well how dangerous and terrifying the "Samaritan Woman's Spring" was! Did he encourage others to explore underground because he wanted to go home but didn't want to take risks himself, or was he simply playing a "prank" that would harm others but not himself? Lumian glanced at Loki's profile and said deliberately: “I’ve been thinking about similar issues recently. “Why do many myths and legends in this world contain an imaginary river involving the realm of death, and why does our hometown also have one? "Could it be that some predecessors who traveled back in time created this?" Based on Lumian's understanding of Aurore, she would definitely be interested if she heard about clues to returning home. Since she was going to ask, he should try not to fall into her preset rhythm. It would be best to find some relevance and change the subject. This is some of Lumian's experience in battling wits and courage with his sister over study, homework, exams, fighting, pranks, etc. The "crazy woman" with red, yellow and white clown paint on her head laughed: "Humans are like this. They like to add things around them to myths and legends. In the most ancient times, humans must have lived by water. There must have been rivers around them, so they would think that there should be such a river in the afterlife. Similarly, when digging the land to bury a body, the deeper they dig, the more likely they are to dig out an underground river." Lumian responded by imitating Aurore's tone: "You speak very scientifically, but I don't think it's mystical enough. If we want to go back, we can only rely on mysticism." He recounted the legend of the Styx that he had just learned from the Purgatory team, and concluded: “I think this is also a direction for investigation.” "Loki", whose face was hidden in the shadow of his hood but could be vaguely seen, laughed softly: “Although the underworld is supposed to be somewhere in the spirit world, I think it must be closely connected to the underground. In many folklore legends of the northern and southern continents, the so-called hell is also hidden underground. "So, the focus of our investigation must be underground. Whether it is the remains of the 'ancient sun god' from the Third Epoch or issues related to the Styx, we have to go deep underground to truly get to know them." You're afraid that everyone won't die fast enough... Lumian muttered silently.
He pretended to be very interested and exchanged information about the "ancient sun god", the underground and the Styx with "Loki", "I have a friend" and other "April Fools' Day" members. After nearly twenty minutes, Lumian decided to temporarily leave the area where the "April Fools' Day" team was located. He has already found that at least four members of the "April Fool's Day" team have abnormal reactions, and the next step is to hand it over to "Hidden Blade" Franka. ——If there were really problems with those “April Fools’ Day” team members, they would have been highly vigilant when facing “Muggles” and would not have easily made any attempts or contacts, so as to avoid falling into traps. At present, they should focus on observation and collecting intelligence from the side. As for the "Hidden Blade", they can play pranks on them without any worries. When the time comes, Franka can use the excuse that she herself suffered substantial harm from the prank to find those "April Fools' Day" team members in real life and beat them up one by one. This will convince other members of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society". As for whether they can get any important information during the beating process, that is another matter. Lumian had just taken a few steps out of the gap when he saw the Guild Master Gandalf, who was over meters tall, walk up to the huge stone chair and say in a loud voice: "Everyone, I have something I want to discuss with you."
