Chapter 399: Pure Evil (Additional update, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket in October) Lumian thanked him, took the stack of papers, lit the calcium carbide lamp, and quickly read the "confession". "Hela" had already read it in its entirety and marked some important information, which effectively saved Lumian's time. Moreover, he didn't know much about the past of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society". If he really had to choose, he might not be able to grasp the key points accurately. After nearly an hour of browsing, Lumian had a general understanding of the overall situation: “There aren’t many members of ‘April Fools’ Day’, and the frequency of private gatherings and pranks is not very high. The activities are mainly carried out in three places: Trier, Gaia, a coastal province of the Feynaport Kingdom, and West Balam in the southern continent. “The core members who participated in the Trier gatherings were ‘Rocky’, ‘I Have a Friend’ and ‘Mad Girl’; "Those who played pranks at the sea prayer ceremony in Santa Porto, Gaya Province included the 'Bard,' 'Ultraman,' 'Crazy Woman,' and some members of the 'April Fools' group who were used. Those who instigated a local college student parade in Toler, the capital of Gaya Province, included the 'Bard and 'Ultraman'... “The core members involved in the pranks in West Balam of the Southern Continent are ‘Siso’ and ‘Crazy Girl’; “At a private gathering of the ‘April Fools’ group in Trier, ‘Loki’ once mentioned in a joking tone that he had inherited an old castle; "At another party in Trier, 'a friend of mine' suddenly had an idea to hypnotize some psychiatrists and let them 'come up' with a plan to treat certain mental illnesses by destroying the frontal lobe of the brain..." The treatment plan that Ms. Susie accused of being full of malicious intent and making the patient "calm" forever turned out to be a prank by "I have a friend"... Yes, only he from another world could skip the pre-speculation and directly come up with such an idea... His purpose was to see if the psychiatrists in this world were so stupid, paranoid and despicable, and to create an absurd tragedy that would go down in medical history... The dozens or hundreds of patients who had completely calmed down and lost their "souls" would never have thought that their tragic experiences were caused by an inhumane prank... "Loki" and "I have a friend" are worse than I thought... Lumian looked at the last page of the "confession" and shook his head involuntarily.
He thought he had witnessed the worst side of human beings while wandering - in order to get some food, to get out of trouble, or to vent his emotions, some people murdered other homeless people, some sold their companions to the mines while they were sleeping, some people abducted children on the street, some people bullied the weak around them and humiliated them in various ways, and some people formed gangs and drove away other homeless people every day, regardless of whether they lived or died. But now, Lumian discovered that these evils were obviously inferior in level and not pure enough compared to the evils of the core members of "April Fool's Day" such as "Loki" and "I Have a Friend". "When the demons of the abyss see them, they have to call them Godfather. Compared with them, the parish priest can be called a saint." Lumian muttered, setting fire to these people over and over again in his mind. He exhaled and extracted useful information from these "confessions" and Ms. Hela's annotations: "At least eight members of the Curly-haired Baboon Research Society are suspected to have died as a direct or indirect result of a prank by an April Fools' Day group... "'My friend', like 'Loki', attended every private gathering in Trier, but he has never been to Gaia Province and West Balam in the Kingdom of Feynaport, which means he should also live in Trier... "Similarly, 'The Bard' and 'Ultraman' are suspected to be in Gaya Province in Feynaport, and 'Siso' is located in West Balam in the southern continent... "The 'crazy woman' has participated in every private gathering in every place, and the private gatherings are held within a month after being agreed upon. This shows that the 'crazy woman' has abilities or items similar to 'teleportation'... "The joke of 'Loki' inheriting the castle is consistent with his dream. Perhaps we can find out the whereabouts of 'Loki' by looking at the appearance of the castle... "'I have a friend' showed a wealth of medical knowledge at the party, and it was not limited to the field of psychology... He was either a great general practitioner before he traveled through time, or the body he occupied was a senior physician. For such a person, could he be a doctor in his usual disguise? He has both the conditions and the ability to pretend, and he can also make a lot of money from it... "The Bard loves to collect Emperor Roselle's diaries and mock them in various ways. Could it be that the Secret Records of Emperor Roselle was written by him? "'Ultraman' and 'Hissoka' were both relatively low-key during the party, leaving no details worth pondering..." Based on this information, Lumian preliminarily decided on the next direction of investigation. The first is to find the castle in Loki's dream, the second is to start from the medical industry to see if there is any clue of "I have a friend", and the third is to wait for the next gathering to confirm that there is no author of "The Secret Records of Emperor Roselle" among the current members of the research society, and then trace the original work. As for the others, I will consider them after I have dealt with these and gained more. Lumian then summoned the "Rabbit of Knowledge" and asked it to copy the information and send it to Ms. Magician. ………… "What is this?" Janna looked at the pure silver skull emerging from the darkness, a little afraid to look directly at the pale flames in the other's eye sockets. Franka smiled awkwardly and said: "This is the messenger of that powerful lady. She has helped us to compile the confessions of the accomplices." Franka grabbed the thick paper in the skull's mouth, not wanting Janna to see the first-hand information.
That would expose the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society! Janna looked at the silver skull disappearing into the darkness and asked in confusion and curiosity: "What is a messenger?" "It's equivalent to the postman in the world of mysticism, a private postman." Franka explained simply. Janna turned her gaze to Franca: "do you have?" Franka was silent for a moment: "This requires a specific path to a specific sequence, or they can provide help." "Oh, you didn't..." Janna interpreted the true meaning of Franca's words. She asked with great longing: "What sequence do you need to get in the 'Witch' path to get a messenger?" Franka was silent again: "I don't know of any Sequence 4." After answering, she muttered softly: "Your provocative abilities can all be transferred to the 'Hunter' pathway." Janna chuckled, thinking back: "Last time when I was helping Ciel look up information about spirit creatures, I seemed to have seen a few spirit creatures with descriptions like 'suitable to be messengers'. Is there any way we can summon them and sign a messenger contract?" “No, well, not impossible.” Franka suddenly thought of using Mr. Fool’s power to summon spiritual beings and ask them to be witnesses of the contract, just like how Charles used his contract ability. Seeing that Franca was lost in thought, Janna waited quietly without saying anything. After a moment, Franka nodded slowly: "I've thought of a way. Can I try it later?" She then said to Janna: "I'll sort out these confessions. You don't have to stay up late. You have to go to the old pigeon cage tomorrow morning." Janna left Franca's bedroom without asking any more questions. Franca breathed a sigh of relief and tore off a telegram that had just come in. This is also from "007": "Hidden Blade, when are you moving out of the market district? "Ever since you came here, all kinds of bad things have happened one after another. I'm almost like a real 007. I suspect you're the source of this walking disaster!" "Bah!" Franka spat and said to herself, "Is it my problem? It's Ciel!" Ever since Lumian came to the market area, her life wasn't as leisurely as before. The "Loki" incident had just been settled, and the small cracks on her skin had not yet fully healed. She had to go to Xiayue Town again tomorrow afternoon to meet the participants of the women's party at the Red House Cafe and the woman who was suspected to be a member of the witch's sect. ………… At around nine in the morning, after finishing his exercise and having breakfast, Lumian found himself with a rare moment of free time. As for the "Iron Cross", he had to wait for Puif Soren's next call; as for the "Sinner" organization, he had to collect intelligence patiently so as not to alert the mysterious man who visited occasionally; as for Hugues Artois, Anthony Reid would be in charge, but it was not yet to the extent that his help was needed; as for the investigation of the "Society of the Bliss", it was temporarily inconvenient for him to follow Franca secretly because the other party was going to contact the people of the Witch Sect; as for the clues of "Loki's" castle and "I Have a Friend", he had a direction for investigation, but there was still a lack of a real entry point. Lumian thought about it and felt that the best thing to do at the moment was to play the role of "arsonist", but the market area was in a sensitive period and there were countless people in high positions watching him, so he had to find an opportunity that was safe enough.
How about reporting my work to Mr. K while I'm free, and asking him if he has any tasks suitable for me to play the role of "arsonist"... Lumian's thoughts raced as he passed by the Mill Ballroom on the other side of the chaotic street. This is considered his property and is currently managed by bounty hunter Lugano Toscano and Louis of the Savoy Party. Lumian thought for a few seconds and turned into the Mill Ballroom. At this time, the dance hall was not open for business yet. Every waiter greeted Lumian respectfully but did not dare to approach. Lumian soon spotted Lugano Toscano, a bounty hunter with regular features, thick eyebrows, big eyes and a burly build. He was still wearing the same cheap suit and black top hat. He held a magazine in his hand and smiled towards Lumian: "Boss, why are you here?" Lumian did not answer, his eyes fell on Lugano's hand: "What magazine are you reading?" "Foundations of Medicine." Lugano showed the book in his hand flatteringly. Medical foundation...Lumian raised his eyebrows: "How do you read this kind of book?" If it was the First Aid Manual, he could understand it. Lugano replied with a smile: "My next sequence is 'Physician'. Although the potion will directly give me the corresponding extraordinary ability, the more medical knowledge I have, the more I can master, which should help me better display my abilities. Besides, I also want to pretend to be a real doctor to make money." An unexpected way of acting… “Doctor”… Lumian’s mind moved, and he asked: "Have you ever heard of lobotomy?"
