Chapter 341: Intentions

~9 min read 1,771 words

"Hela" still used that voice with a clear cold feeling:

"That doesn't need to be worried about. I said that our Research Society is a very loose organization. Except for a few members who have close communication in private, others only see each other two to four times a year, and that's while disguised.

"Your sister's state in similar gatherings is relatively relaxed, should be close to how she usually gets along with you, just paying attention to protecting her reality information. You can definitely play her.

"And many special words and sentences we use when communicating, you definitely won't be unfamiliar with. Given your relationship with your sister, she wouldn't deliberately hide them from you and not use them."

"Yes." Lu Mi's mood suddenly became a bit low. "She would also explain the specific meaning to me and tell me that it was said by some philosopher from her hometown or Emperor Roselle."

"Hela" listened and said:

"If you really have a chance to play 'Muggle,' don't deliberately mention that it was said by a philosopher from her hometown; just speak the content behind it."

"Should I add 'Emperor Roselle once said'?" Lu Mi seriously discussed the details.

Although he lacked key items and it was unlikely he could truly disguise himself as Aurora, and the essence of "Nise's Face" was illusion, if he encountered a Beyonder with corresponding abilities, he could be seen through at a glance—even if the other party was just a Sequence 9 "Peeping Person," they could see he wasn't female and naturally couldn't be "Muggle." But he still hoped to try hard. Who knew if there would be a chance to get a "Transformation Technique" with not-so-great negative effects in the future? As for the occult makeup of "Peeping Glasses," under the premise that the face must be covered at gatherings, it couldn't give people psychological hints, and it couldn't change gender, even if that was just a disguised gender change.

"Hela" rarely remained silent for a few seconds, her cheek muscles fluctuating slightly:

"If you really have a chance to play, try not to add it, because you can't precisely grasp when to add it and when not to.

"You only need to remember one point: other members using the prefix 'Emperor Roselle once said' is often to liven up the atmosphere or amuse everyone."

Why does it feel like Emperor Roselle's image in the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" isn't very good... Not very good, more, more like a comedian... Speaking of which, Aurora also seems to be like this. Every time her mood is relatively poor, as long as I deliberately say 'Emperor Roselle said,' she often has some relief, and even can't help but laugh out loud... Lu Mi didn't quite understand the mentality of those members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society," but because he had to show that he didn't know their biggest secret, he didn't ask further.

He planned to ask Forsyth what was going on if he remembered later.

"Hela" continued:

"If you participate in the gathering, just remember to listen more, speak less, don't deeply participate in various discussions if you are not sure, change the subject when others mention the past, be perfunctory if you can, and show the personality and characteristics that 'Muggle' showed in front of you, and you can play her very well."

Lu Mi pondered:

"This is just a disguise in appearance and performance. Your Research Society shouldn't lack Beyonders who are good at divination or have strong intuition. They can easily discover that I am not my sister."

"No, on the contrary, they can prove that you are truly 'Muggle'." "Hela" gave an answer Lu Mi didn't expect.

In his undisguised astonishment and surprise expression, "Hela" explained in detail:

"First, most of us don't understand the reality of other members, so we can't make very effective divination or prophecy;

"Second, under the premise of having a certain understanding of your sister, I divined her state with the help of a certain item, and the result was unable to determine whether she was alive or dead, just like encountering a very powerful anti-divination."

This... Lu Mi was stunned for a moment, then quickly figured out the approximate reason:

According to Lady "Magician's" statement, Aurora wasn't completely dead yet and still had a glimmer of hope for resurrection, while her soul fragments were sealed by Mr. "Fool," and normal divination couldn't bypass the seal at all to peek into Aurora's true state, thus presenting a very strong anti-divination effect.

"Hela" drank the triple-concentrated Lim coffee again:

"And most importantly, after I met you today, my spiritual intuition told me that in the situation of facing you, 'divination' or 'prophecy' of Aurora would point to you."

What? Lu Mi almost blurted out.

Soon, he lowered his head and looked at his left chest, smiling bitterly:

"This might be because part of my sister's soul fragments are preserved in me in some peculiar way."

Speaking of this, Lu Mi sighed long:

"What a pity..."

After listening to "Hela's" analysis, he felt that he could really replace his sister to participate in the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" and wouldn't be discovered.

He really wanted to do this, as it could not only support Forsyth's actions so that she wouldn't have to take risks alone, but also form a cooperation, one in the light and one in the dark, letting those with problems jump out themselves and fall into the trap.

At the same time, Lu Mi could also learn more about Aurora through those gatherings.

The pity was that he didn't have a "Transformation Technique" that could falsely change gender, adjust height, and body shape.

After a brief silence, "Hela" repeated her promise to follow up on the "April Fool's" problem.

Then, she said quite candidly:

"I came to Trier this time to find a certain item in the deeper part of that underground tomb. Do you have any understanding of that place?"

The deeper part of the underground tomb? Lu Mi was shocked and took the initiative to remind:

"It's very dangerous there."

Grateful for Lady "Hela's" previous written guidance and the suggestion just now, he told everything he knew about the situation of the underground tomb and the weird phenomena he had witnessed before, finally saying:

"I don't know why, but only I remembered that couple, while others acted as if they had never existed. Hmm, that tomb manager named Kendall should also have noticed, just pretending not to have discovered it."

"Hela" listened quietly, neither surprised nor astonished, and turned to ask:

"Have you heard of the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring'?"

"I heard about it from a deceptive charlatan..." Lu Mi frowned, trying hard to recall Aosta Trull's narration. "He said the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' on the upper level of the underground tomb is fake, a puddle left by construction errors at the time, packaged into a legend by the managers. But in a certain ancient tomb deep in the underground world, there are real Springs of Oblivion and Springs of Forgetfulness."

"Hela" didn't evaluate Lu Mi's statement, nodding gently:

"Thank you."

After thanking him, she finished the remaining triple-concentrated coffee, stood up, and walked toward the entrance of the Little Cow Coffee Shop.

As she left the seat, that feeling of deep silence suddenly dissipated, and the sunlight seemed to illuminate this area again.

Lu Mi sat for a while longer, drank his Makel coffee, and then walked along Old Street toward Purgatory Square, intending to take a public carriage back to the Market District.

After passing the "Different" dance hall and the "Alone" bar, Lu Mi suddenly heard a crisp clinking sound.

His heart moved, he turned his body slightly, looked back, and just happened to see a familiar back walking into the "Alone" bar, which had opened not long ago.

That figure was wearing a light white tulle dress, a small round hat decorated with silk flowers, two small silver bells hanging on a complex hairstyle, and similar items on dark long boots.

Liya... Liya from the Eighth Bureau... Lu Mi recognized that person as the official investigator Liya who had entered his dream.

She should have belonged to the Reston Province branch of the Eighth Bureau, but now she actually appeared in Trier and entered the "Alone" bar, which was also a bit weird.

The "Different" dance hall is very dangerous. The "Alone" bar wouldn't be a stronghold used by the Eighth Bureau to monitor the opposite side, right? After withdrawing his gaze, Lu Mi continued forward as if nothing had happened.

…………

Returning to the Wind Dance Hall, Lu Mi hadn't had time to rest before he was summoned by the boss, Gardner Martin, to No. 11 Spring Street in the Memorial Hall District.

In the room with rows of bookshelves, Gardner Martin, wearing a light-colored shirt and dark trousers, smiled quite spiritedly:

"I heard from Forsyth that you have already completed your revenge?"

Lu Mi felt that the boss exuded a strange excitement, as if he hadn't completely calmed down from being too happy before.

He answered candidly:

"Yes, I have already killed Guillaume Bénet, thanks to the help of 'Red Boots' and Jianna, as well as the intelligence broker Anthony Reid I invited."

He didn't hide the participants; this couldn't be hidden from the boss, after all, they relied on "Rat" Cristobal and his pets to contact each other.

Gardner Martin nodded gently:

"Your efficiency is higher than I expected.

"Forsyth didn't explain it in enough detail. Tell me about the general situation."

Lu Mi didn't hide the "Sinner" organization, showing the various abilities Guillaume Bénet possessed by describing the specific effects.

Gardner Martin listened carefully and asked thoughtfully:

"What sequence do you think Guillaume Bénet's strength is equivalent to?"

Lu Mi answered without hesitation:

"Sequence 5."

Gardner Martin fell silent, and after a while, said:

"I asked you to come over because I have a task for you."

"What task?" Lu Mi didn't hide his curiosity.

Gardner Martin smiled again:

"Very simple. Go to the Mechanical Coffee Shop in the Opera District to contact a literary and artistic organization called 'Black Cat'."

"I don't have artistic cells." Lu Mi was very honest.

Gardner Martin laughed:

"You don't need artistic cells. You are mainly acting as a sponsor and making friends with one of the members of 'Black Cat'.

"His ancestor had a count title, and he also likes to call himself that.

"Hmm, his name is Puifu Solon."
