Chapter 339: Magician's

Lady "Hela" has arrived in Trier? Lu Mi held the letter, his expression somewhat complex.

There was no problem with this matter itself; the vice president of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" with the code name "Hela" had mentioned before that she would come to Trier recently. But Lu Mi had only learned of Roche Louise Sanson's existence from Guillaume Bénet that afternoon, suspected that Aurora's original family might have believed in fate long ago, and suspected that a certain member of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society's" "April Fool's" group had problems. This lady arrived in Trier that night and issued a request to meet.

You know, she had previously reminded Lu Mi to pay attention to "Muggle," which was Aurora's original family, believing it to be an investigation direction.

Pure coincidence, or was there another reason? Lu Mi pondered for a moment, sat down, and began to write a letter to Lady "Magician" by the light of the calcium carbide lamp.

He mentioned the events of today, the discussion with Forsyth, and the problem of the "Armor Shadow," not hiding "Hela's" arrival, just not mentioning the secret that all members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" came from another world.

About half an hour later, Lu Mi received a reply from "Magician":

"It was a very correct choice for you to give up the creatures that came with the gift and choose your own contract target from the Spirit Realm. This is enough to make you a Fate Hunter, specifically targeting the gifted of the Fate pathway. It wasn't in vain that I kept hinting at you to do so."

Reading this, Lu Mi was a bit puzzled:

When did Lady "Magician" hint at him to give up the strange creatures in the knowledge that came with the gift?

His thoughts turned, and he suddenly had an epiphany:

Before he prayed for the "Contractee" gift, before he knew that the mysterious knowledge that came with the gift would include contract targets, Lady "Magician" took the initiative to provide him with Spirit Realm creature data and let him choose.

This indeed counted as a kind of hint, but did it have to be so obscure? Lu Mi felt that whether it was those who were good at divination or those who liked astrology, they didn't like to speak clearly; they either only said half, or used "revelations" and "hints" that others couldn't understand or notice to replace it.

After figuring this out, Lu Mi lowered his head and continued to read Lady "Magician's" reply:

"The secret organization 'Sinner' that believes in fate has appeared for more than six years. Their earliest traces can be traced back to the late stage of the war between the Loen Kingdom, the Feynapotter Kingdom, and the Intis Republic. Roche Louise Sanson, whom you mentioned, was very likely a follower of fate long ago, but not necessarily with corresponding gifts. In short, that war gave evil gods more opportunities to infiltrate our world.

"You may have already noticed that Roche Louise Sanson and your sister Aurora have a close connection. On some level, they are one, but they don't belong to pure personality splitting. Just like that 'Rebirth' ability, your sister had another origin before and was resurrected in the body of Roche Louise Sanson, who had just died. And according to normal development, your sister should have taken such a path:

"Fusion of Roche's partial memories and emotions—internal struggle—precursor to personality splitting—self-reconciliation—obtaining a new life.

"If self-reconciliation fails, it requires finding a real 'Psychiatrist' for treatment.

"Judging from your sister's performance in the previous five years, even if she didn't fully reconcile with herself, she should have been almost there and hadn't been troubled too much. But perhaps the fact that Roche was a follower of an evil god made it hard for her to accept, and she was never able to fully reconcile, giving the 'Soul Calling Technique' a chance.

"Like your doubt, why she would use the 'Soul Calling Technique' on herself is a very key question...

"I suspect that 'Sinner' is not only the name of that secret organization but also a Sequence 2 or Sequence 1 of the 'Fate' pathway.

"That existence named Fate indeed has authority over 'past,' 'present,' and 'future.' Didn't you experience it in your dream? The 'Sinner' of the past, the 'Sufferer' of the present, doesn't it sound very matched? Then what is the future?"

The "Sinner" of the past, the "Sufferer" of the present... I don't know if Termiboros represents the past or the future... Hmm, Lady "Magician's" speculation is similar to what Forsyth said, but she doesn't seem to approve that it's purely "the return of a resentful spirit," leaning more toward personality splitting and the blending of partial residual spirits... Lu Mi carefully pondered the description in the letter, afraid of missing any hints again.

He was now relatively peaceful. Whether it was the real Roche Louise Sanson returning or Aurora splitting out such a personality and blending with the residual spirit found by the "Soul Calling Technique," he could accept it and wouldn't be too painful.

One was a bad person doing bad things, and the other was his sister being sick; what was there that couldn't be accepted?

Lu Mi let out a breath slowly and cast his gaze on the letter paper behind:

"The problem of the 'Armor Shadow' is very complex. Whether it's you or Saint Luo Beier, it's not suitable to know the detailed situation now. In fact, before you summoned such a shadow, I only heard about similar Spirit Realm creatures from Mr. 'The Hanged Man,' and he had only encountered them three or four times, once even in a dream.

"Remember to write to me about the changes you observe when you summon the 'Armor Shadow' again and fulfill your promise."

Mr. "The Hanged Man"... The holder of the "The Hanged Man" card of the Tarot Club? He is responsible for dealing with the problems of that other world? Lu Mi pondered seriously for a while and discovered that Lady "Magician's" subtext was:

This matter involves a very high level, and you can't understand the detailed situation for the time being, but you can do some investigation and tracking within the scope of your own ability.

This shows that the "Tarot Club" is also very interested in the world represented by the "Armor Shadow"... Lu Mi nodded imperceptibly and read the remaining content:

"I will tell you when they confirm the time for this final psychological treatment...

"That magical artifact of yours should be finished within this week...

"Go see 'Hela.' I didn't see any major problems. You can even tell her that Aurora's abnormality might come from the 'Soul Calling Technique' and the sale by a certain member of 'April Fool's.' Observe her reaction. As for the 'Armor Shadow' matter, you and Saint Luo Beier decide for yourselves whether to tell her."

Lu Mi rubbed his fingers lightly, letting the crimson flames ignite the letter paper.

After doing this, he wrote a reply to "Hela":

"Respected Lady 'Hela,' if you have no problems, let's meet at the Little Cow Coffee Shop on Jiujie in the Observatory District at 10:00 AM tomorrow."

Lu Mi had originally wanted to choose a meeting place in the Market District where he was most familiar, but that would easily be discovered by the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" that he was meeting a stranger.

His second choice was to find a coffee shop or beer house near the Cathedral, but he felt that would show too much defensiveness, as if he would run into the church if there were any problems, and he didn't dare to really hide inside.

In the end, he chose Jiujie, the street with the "Different" dance hall.

By then, if "Hela" really had something wrong, he would lead the disaster to that dance hall that made his scalp tingle when he thought of it, to see if he could make the troubles fight each other.

After receiving "Hela's" reply and confirming the meeting time and place, Lu Mi took the earth blood ore, returned to White Coat Street, and knocked on the doors of Forsyth and Jianna again.

Forsyth was still in her previous attire, not having changed into a nightgown. She looked at Lu Mi in confusion:

"Why are you here again?"

"Where is Jianna?" Lu Mi asked instead of answering.

"Why do you ask this? She just earned a sum from you and went home to see her brother." Forsyth understood that Lu Mi had serious business to talk about, but still habitually replied.

Only then did Lu Mi talk about meeting "Hela" tomorrow, and finally asked:

"Should I mention the 'Armor Shadow'?"

"Not for now. Let's wait until we confirm the situation." Forsyth pondered and said, "You also don't mention me for now; just pretend you have never met me."

Lu Mi suddenly laughed:

"You suspect everyone."

"Caution is paramount!" Forsyth sighed. "The 'Soul Calling Technique' made me a bit overly vigilant."

After confirming the corresponding details, Lu Mi glanced at Forsyth:

"Are you going out?"

"Yes, going to Spring Street to find Gardner." Forsyth answered candidly, smiling, "Let him experience what true pleasure is."

Lu Mi was speechless for a moment.

Forsyth laughed in a low voice:

"I have no choice. You and Jianna won't help me, so I have to find someone to digest the pleasure."

Without waiting for Lu Mi to respond, she said with a smile again:

"At the same time, I have to tell Gardner that I participated in your action against your enemy at Jianna's request and got a lot of spoils."

"I thought you would hide it from him." Lu Mi felt slightly surprised.

Forsyth laughed "hehe":

"That guy is actually a very suspicious person. Many times, telling part of the truth is more effective than hiding it directly."

While Lu Mi nodded lightly, Forsyth remembered one thing:

"The incantations for those ritual furs have been divined. The removal is 'Your Excellency Archbishop,' and the use is 'Cow,' 'Sheep,' or 'Dog,' depending on which kind of fur is used. Hmm, they are all in Hermes."

After saying this, the Witch waved her hand and went out happily.

The removal incantation is "Your Excellency Archbishop"... The Parish Priest really likes power... Lu Mi walked into Apartment 601 by himself, took the five ritual furs, and went to his safe house.

Of course, he didn't forget to help Forsyth lock the door.

…………

The next morning, Observatory District, Jiujie.

Lu Mi strolled among the buildings with a sense of age, discovering that at this time, the "Different" dance hall and the "Alone" bar hadn't opened yet.

Ding-a-ling, a postman wearing a blue embossed jacket passed by on a bicycle.

Lu Mi withdrew his gaze from the closed door of the "Different" dance hall and continued to walk toward the coffee shop named "Little Cow."
