Chapter 393: Idiots (Monthly tickets requested at the end of the month)

One of the people who came to the ancient palace was "Black Earth," and the other was called "Bacchus." The former was dressed as a deep-mountain hunter, wearing a furry hat and hanging a thick leather mask, while the latter only wore shorts and had a brass-colored mask on his face.

They looked at "Hela" and nodded lightly, which was a greeting.

Immediately after, their gazes swept over Franca, who hadn't pasted a code name, and "Muggle," who was shrouded in dream-like fog.

"Who is this?" "Black Earth," dressed as a deep-mountain hunter, pointed at Franca and asked puzzledly.

"'Sleeve Sword,' came in a hurry, forgot to paste the label." Franca answered herself.

"Black Earth" and "Bacchus" immediately dispelled their suspicion, no longer vigilant and defensive.

In such an emergency gathering, it was perfectly normal for "Sleeve Sword" to make similar mistakes.

This was her style!

After a while, other "April Fool's" group members arrived one after another, but Lu Mian didn't see the five targets suspected to be the biggest: "I Have a Friend," "Sisso," "Bard," "Mad Lady," and "Salted Egg Superman."

His expression gradually sank, feeling that "Loki" had already resurrected, and the members with problems had all been warned.

The dozen or so here belonged to the objects being utilized. If "Loki" and their actions were too excessive and were detected by other "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" members, these were the shields that could be thrown out to accept investigation.

They had no problems, so naturally, they wouldn't be found to have abnormalities, which could effectively cover up the six who truly believed in "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Celestial Venerable."

At this time, "Black Earth," "Bacchus," and others gradually discovered something wrong.

Why were there so few people participating in the emergency gathering?

This was past the agreed time. Normally, at least half or more of the people should have arrived.

"'Hela,' what's going on?" "Bacchus," who only wore a mask and shorts, asked in a deep voice.

Lu Mian sneered, just like looking at a group of fools.

If "Loki" and they were bad, these were stupid, thinking they were clever, thinking they had mastered the truth, thinking they were enjoying all kinds of indulgence before the apocalypse, but actually, they were just being used as weapons and shields by others.

Lu Mian dared to bet that when "Loki," "I Have a Friend," and other core members of the "April Fool's" group gathered privately, they couldn't help but laugh at this group of idiots.

"Hela" said coldly:

"Convening you to gather is because 'Loki' betrayed us."

"Black Earth," "Bacchus," and others were stunned simultaneously, then looked left and right, not finding "Loki's" figure.

"Hela" continued:

"He believed in an evil god and led 'I Have a Friend' and others to harm multiple research society members."

"Such an accusation requires evidence." "Bacchus" subconsciously retorted.

Lu Mian, who had already put on the "Lie" earring, said in Aurora's voice:

"I am the evidence!

"You should have all seen that I bought 'Spirit Calling,' which caused my spirit to have problems, almost losing control. Fortunately, I found someone to help in time and sealed the split personality.

"Before this, I kept looking for 'I Have a Friend' for treatment, but the situation not only didn't improve but got worse and worse.

"I found them, wanting to reason with them, who knew, they even planned to murder me!"

"Black Earth" fell silent for a moment and said:

"I remember this matter. You bought it from 'Mad Lady.' The reason they coaxed you was that crossing over should be a matter for both sides, not a unilateral reason. Otherwise, why cross over to this world, and why happen to attach to such people? It must be that the original owners of the bodies did something to establish a connection between the two worlds. So, before figuring out what you did that caused the crossing over, finding the residual souls of the original owners of the bodies and asking them might have unexpected gains.

"'Muggle,' were you too eager to go home, too eager for your hometown at the time, to believe such a reason?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the "April Fool's" group members present all carried more or less playfulness and mockery.

"Muggle" actually fell for such a trick that could only fool children!

None of them were fooled by "Mad Lady," even if she said she had tried it herself and had certain results, but it couldn't be called a clue yet.

"Mad Lady"... Lu Mian repeated this code name in his heart.

He then smiled:

"I was indeed blinded by the desire to return to my hometown, but you guys aren't any better.

"Look, did 'Loki,' 'Mad Lady,' 'Bard,' and they come?

"They know very well what they are doing, and they also understand that once exposed, they must immediately leave the research society. And you, stupid, idiotic, don't know anything, don't understand anything, and are still cooperating with them!

"Pigs and dogs are smarter than you!"

The fact that "Loki" and others didn't appear and "Muggle's" mockery pierced the spiritual loopholes of the "Black Earth" and other "April Fool's" members like arrows.

Some of them were ashamed and angry, wanting to scold back, some swayed their bodies, both desperate and bewildered, and some felt as if their hearts were being gnawed by countless bugs, the pain being real.

Franca, seeing this, entered "Instigator" mode and accurately made a follow-up attack:

"Don't you understand yet? You are abandoned pieces, objects to be abandoned, agents who have lost their function!

"You have never become core members of 'April Fool's,' have never gained 'Loki's' trust, they will only laugh at you behind your backs!

"Now, 'Loki' and they have already been exposed and can hunt members of the research society without any scruples. Who do you think will be the easiest to find and lock onto?

"The only thing you can do is recall the details of dealing with 'Loki' and them in the past, including the pranks organized in reality, so that we can clear out these traitors as soon as possible.

"Remember, leniency for confession, severity for resistance."

"Black Earth," "Bacchus," and others thought along "Sleeve Sword's" line of thought and found it was really possible.

They looked at each other, all having obvious wavering in their hearts. The few members who had seen how formidable "Loki" and they were couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Franca finally threw out a heavy bomb:

"Don't think that changing a place and moving once can escape the hunt. I tell you, 'Muggle's' experience is that 'Loki' and they are suspected of having a way to lock onto research society members within a certain range through occult connections.

"As for what method it is, I will inform everyone at the next formal gathering."

"Black Earth" gritted his teeth:

"There are too many details. I don't think a few hours will be enough to finish speaking."

Other "April Fool's" group members nodded one after another.

"Hela" thought for a while and said:

"You go back now, write down all the details, and mail them to me.

"Remember, take your luggage as soon as you go back and stay in a hotel or inn at least five kilometers away."

"Bacchus" and others breathed a sigh of relief and agreed one after another.

Immediately after, Lu Mian saw them close their eyes simultaneously, as if they had fallen asleep standing up.

He and Franca turned their heads thoughtfully, finding that Ms. "Hela's" eyes first lost focus, and then closed.

After a while, "Hela" opened her eyes and said to Lu Mian and Franca:

"There are no hidden 'Loki' helpers and Celestial Venerable believers."

This is worrying that "Loki" would risk leaving an accomplice to probe for news... Franca suddenly realized.

The next second, "Black Earth," "Bacchus," and others woke up simultaneously, chanted the spell without any perception, and left the ancient and decaying palace.

Lu Mian lifted "Nisse's Face," took off the "Lie" earring, and asked "Hela":

"Every time the spell is used during a gathering, it should be contaminated with a bit of the concealment aura of that sealed item, right?

"Can we use this to find 'Mad Lady' and them?"

"Hela" shook her head:

"They no longer have the corresponding aura."

Clearly, she had tried it before.

Lu Mian didn't speak anymore, slowly and silently exhaling.

The three left the "Land of Night" one after another and returned to the deserted mine deep underground in Trier.

"Hela" put away the "Wraith" Beyonder characteristic that had precipitated and said to Lu Mian and Franca:

"If you can't find 'Loki' and truly kill him, you can stay in the Trier Market District for at most three months. By then, no matter what things you haven't finished, you must consider transferring."

"Why three months?" Franca asked puzzledly.

She felt that staying for another week was very dangerous.

"Hela" explained simply:

"'Loki' resurrected with Beyonder characteristics, but he lost all his marionettes. A 'Marionettist' without marionettes won't rashly appear and attack others,

"For a 'Bizarro Sorcerer' without any bizarro, wanting to obtain a suitable, powerful bizarro requires planning, luck, and repeated replacements. You should have a window of three to six months."

"I understand." Franca decided to report to Miss Judgment, saying that if there was no progress within two months, she hoped to give up the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" mission and switch to another location.

Lu Mian also nodded.

He was thinking about whether it was possible to digest the "Pyromaniac" potion within three months and collect the formula and main ingredients for the "Conspirer" potion.

At this moment, Hela pointed at the mushy flesh and twisted worms that Loki's body had collapsed into and said:

"Those dead worms are excellent spirituality materials with many uses. However, they also have hidden problems; they have already been contaminated to a certain extent and will bring you unknown dangers."

Franca thought of the terrifying experience of almost becoming a bizarro and shook her head, indicating she didn't want them.

Lu Mian quietly stared at the countless maggots and mushy flesh for a while, then suddenly let the crimson fireball hovering on his shoulder fly out, slamming it into Loki's corpse.

The fireball did not explode but burned violently, shooting up crimson light.

Watching the burning maggots and flesh, and watching the soaring, scorching flames, Lu Mian felt that his "Pyromaniac" potion had digested a bit more.

This came from the experience of relying on the state of being on the verge of losing control to ignite himself when controlled by Loki, triggering the resonance of the "Blood Emperor" aura.

This allowed Lu Mian to summarize a "Pyromaniac" acting code of his own:

"A Pyromaniac is not an arsonist; only by daring to ignite oneself can one ignite others!"
