Chapter 420 The Importance of Intelligence The concert started on time, and Theresa and Athena separated themselves to concentrate on enjoying the performance of the symphony orchestra. In Trier, citizens still have great enthusiasm and respect for art. During the "Exhibition of Works by Living Artists", the number of visitors per day was more than the number of people who went to several execution grounds to watch executions combined. Franka withdrew her gaze with regret, half-closed her eyes, and listened to the music that sounded like the sparkling moonlight on a calm lake at night. Lumian had not received any instruction in this field, and his knowledge of music was limited to three types: the songs Aurore occasionally hummed and the shepherds' flutes; the songs full of obscene words or full of rhythm in places like the Old Tavern, Cordu Village Square, and Breeze Ballroom; and the hymns sung during the High Mass of the Eternal Sun Church. But at this moment, he was still affected by the band's performance, and his mood gradually settled. He seemed to see Cordu Village and the highland grasslands sleeping in the darkness. On that night, the sky was dotted with stars and it was peaceful and quiet. Lumian was not completely immersed in the music. He occasionally glanced at the lady pretending to be the art dealer Theresa, observing her every move. The fake Theresa seems to be very emotional. She is sad when singing lyrics and excited when playing in unison. Her whole body is in different states completely following the changes in the music. This made Lumian wonder whether she loved music too much and was too easily moved, or whether she had a strong desire to perform and had to show something. If it was the latter, then Lumian could preliminarily judge that the fake Theresa was just an "actor" of Sequence 7. Because based on his understanding of the gift path of the "Mother Tree of Desire", after leaving the corresponding sequence, the Beyonders would no longer be affected by the desires represented by that sequence to such an exaggerated degree. Of course, it would still be stronger than normal people.
Time flies, and three symphonies are played. At the end, the conductor turns around, bows, salutes, and says to all the audience: "The last movement just now was called 'Girl Under the Moon'. I would like to invite the most beautiful lady present to come on stage so that the whole band can have the honor of taking a photo with her as the most beautiful memory." Hearing this, Franka quickly lowered her head. She didn't want to be chosen and be watched by everyone. This would make her feel a little ashamed. Of course, she was not too worried. After using "lies" to adjust her appearance and height, she could only be considered ordinary and a little charming. After all, the biggest obstacle for the "Witch of Pleasure" to track her targets was that they were too beautiful, too charming, and too eye-catching. If she did not "hide" or hide in the shadows, she would be easily discovered. Similar requests were not uncommon in Trier, and several women present were eager to try. For them, if they are really selected, it is a great recognition of their appearance and temperament. Lumian's eyes swept over them, and naturally swept over Athena and the fake Theresa. The former was obviously looking forward to it, while the latter's body was abnormally tense and trembling slightly, as if he was excited and nervous because of a strong desire in his heart. Seeing this, Lumian's mouth curled up slightly, and he had a general understanding of the fake Theresa's situation. The desire to be recognized is one of the core desires of the "Mother Tree of Desire" gift path sequence 6 "Honored One"! Therefore, the fake Theresa should be a Sequence 6 "Honored One" and not yet a Sequence 5 "Fallen Dryad". Otherwise, her desire to be recognized would not be so irrepressible. This event of inviting the most beautiful ladies to take photos on stage was certainly not a coincidence, but was directly "sponsored" by Lumian. After knowing that the first stage of the fake Theresa and Athena's date was to attend a concert, he went to the Deland Concert Hall, found out what piece would be played in the evening, and then designed a process that was in line with the Trier style based on the name of the last movement, and tried to bribe the orchestra. The conductor was finally convinced not only because Franka spent 1000 Fel Gold, but also because Lumian made up a good reason: This is a way of trying to please a lady, a romantic way of giving without asking for anything in return and without leaving a name. "Romanticism" deeply touched these Trier artists. With such an activity, Lumian could naturally "detect" whether the fake Theresa had an excessive desire for achievement.
A good "hunter" cannot just wait for opportunities, but also needs to know how to create opportunities! Of course, the prerequisite is to have enough intelligence, otherwise it will not be possible to design it in a targeted manner or it will be easily discovered. The conductor looked around and selected the lady he considered the most beautiful. He believed that was also the object of admiration of the young man in the afternoon. It's rare to see such beautiful women! A woman with dark grey eyes that were bright but a little sad and black hair neatly tied up walked to the side of the band, while the fake Theresa collapsed in her seat, unable to hide her disappointment, regret and resentment. "I don't know what to call you?" the conductor asked the lady in black court dress beside him. The lady answered in a soft and pleasant voice: "Clarisse." Franca looked at the lady with admiration and felt that she had a special charm, but she couldn't put her finger on what it was. When the concert was over, Lumian and Franca did not follow Athena and the fake Theresa, but went directly to room 25 of the apartment at 502 Menil Street in the Plaza District. This is a rental house that is temporarily vacant due to financial constraints. Room 23 of Building 401 opposite is the place where Adena specifically uses for her affair. She will also be back here tonight with fake Theresa. With Lumian and Franca's extraordinary vision, this distance was not enough to prevent them from seeing the situation in the target room clearly. The most important thing for them at the moment was to hide themselves and not be discovered by the fake Theresa while they were spying. Not long after the two of them hid in the shadows, the window of Room 23 of Apartment 401 across the street lit up, and several gas wall lamps filled the living room with light. Then, Lumian saw the fake Theresa and Athena kissing passionately as they approached the glass window. They were reluctant to separate, but also wanted to draw the curtains. “You’re very focused.” Lumian joked with a smile. Franka didn't respond to him, and her breathing became heavier. "Get ready." After Lumian confirmed that the fake Theresa's attention was on her female companion, he whispered a reminder to Franca. Franka nodded slightly and replied in her normal voice: "Ok." Her main task is to prepare for the unexpected. Lumian didn't hesitate any longer and directly activated the black mark on his right shoulder. A faint light flashed inside his clothes, and he disappeared into the shadow of Building 25. In the apartment across the street, Athena and the fake Theresa were tangled up in each other's arms, pulling at the curtains and trying to cover the glass windows. Lumian's figure instantly appeared two meters behind the fake Theresa, facing Athena, whose eyes were blurred and her face was flushed. Adena's eyes narrowed and her pupils dilated. She couldn't believe that a tall, thin, blond, blue-eyed stranger suddenly appeared in her room. At this moment, she felt like she was dreaming. The physical sensations and the mental detachment formed a sharp contrast. Almost at the same time, Lumian snorted heavily.
Two white lights shot out from his nose, fell on the fake Theresa, and affected Athena. The two women closed their eyes at the same time and fell into a coma. Lumian took a few steps forward and caught the fake Theresa in time, then raised his right palm and slapped it behind the opponent's ear. Mystic coma plus physics coma! After doing this, Lumian threw the fake Theresa onto the carpet, some distance away from the sleeping Athena. He then squatted beside the lady who was suspected to be the "recipient", groped her dress and handbag, and found a pile of bottles and jars. After a quick identification, he picked out a bottle of drugs that were very familiar with the secret drugs commonly used by the "Society of the Bliss", unscrewed the lid, put it to the nose of the fake Theresa, and let her sniff it for more than ten seconds. Only at this time did Lumian breathe a sigh of relief, put away the bottle of drugs, and no longer worry that the fake Theresa would suddenly wake up. He stood up, walked to the glass window whose curtain had not yet been completely closed, and made a gesture towards the fifth floor of the building opposite, with his thumb and index finger forming a circle and the other three fingers stretched out naturally. This is to tell Franka that the operation was successful, the target has been controlled, and she can come over. She may need to use the "magic mirror divination" later. After closing the curtains, Lumian turned around and looked at the unconscious fake Theresa, and sighed silently: "Intelligence is very important..." The same is true for the combination of abilities. If Lumian had not roughly grasped the names and characteristics of the Actor Pathway Sequence 9 to Sequence 5, and had not known which desires they corresponded to and what states they were in, he would certainly not have dared to take such a risk, and would not have been able to resolve the battle in two or three breaths. If the three abilities of the "Bound Person" are not selected and matched well, they will be easily hunted down by the "Hunter" of Sequence 9, just like the mouthpart monster in the ruins of Cordu Village. If "Spiritual Travel" is used with "Hum-Ha Technique", it is not without the ability to fight against some Sequence 5s, but the durability will be very poor. ………… While Lumian was waiting for Franca to come, he was in the apartment next to Athena's. Browns Soren hid in the shadows, listening to what was happening behind the wall while looking at the building opposite. She had already heard the sounds of Athena and the fake Theresa returning to the apartment and the curtains being drawn, and the corresponding images seemed to have emerged in her mind. This made her extremely tormented, as if she had actively sent her lover into the arms of her rival. Although she knew that this was a trap and that such behavior was not meaningless, and that her lover and her rival had already had close contact several times, she was still extremely worried and anxious, and the occasional sound she heard would make her imagine different scenes. This made her uncomfortable standing and leaning against the wall. Looking at the apartment opposite where Franca and her young lover were hiding, seeing that there was no change there, Browns Soren couldn't help but complain: "Why don't you take action?"
