Chapter 400

Some of the Trier citizens watching were quite curious, asking people around them for the reason, while others were full of interest, continuing to watch the fun, which made Lu Mian unable to distinguish at all who was appreciating the results of his prank and who was just looking for some fun.

This is the folk custom of Trier. Lu Mian felt that if it were a powerful, higher-sequence "Psychiatrist" like Lady Susie who came, she wouldn't be able to confirm among the onlookers who were booing, mocking, or deliberately suggesting the wrong direction, who was the source, and who was a real passerby who was just letting themselves go because the atmosphere was right.

Regarding this situation, although Lu Mian had expected it long ago, he still couldn't help but sigh:

"You Trier people..."

No wonder the "April Fool's" group likes to hold private gatherings here; it's simply like fish returning to the water.

Lu Mian, who gave up observing, randomly picked a middle-aged man who was using rye bread to dip in the blood left by the death row inmates, and waited until the other party ran toward an exit of the Ruwa Comprehensive Execution Ground, quietly following behind.

After arriving in a quiet alley piled with barricades, Lu Mian went around to the front in a few steps and blocked the middle-aged man wearing a shabby linen shirt.

He raised his left palm, which was still wrapped in bandages, and asked in the posture of a gang member looking down on ordinary people:

"What are you holding?"

The middle-aged man with short black hair and a thin face replied timidly:

"It, it's bread dipped in the blood of death row inmates."

"What can this be used for?" Lu Mian acted like a curious, passing gang thug.

The middle-aged man revealed obvious fear:

"It, it can cure diseases."

"Who told you it could cure diseases?" This was the key point Lu Mian wanted to ask.

The middle-aged man replied a bit blankly:

"I heard it from Guillaume on the next street. He said that the child of a coworker of his got better after eating this kind of human blood bread."

The child of a coworker of a neighbor on the next street... Lu Mian felt that this was no different from a rumor. Wanting to find the source wasn't very easy.

He looked at the middle-aged man holding the human blood bread and asked thoughtfully:

"Is someone in your family sick too?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man instantly became dejected, carrying a bit of pain.

He looked at the human blood bread in his hand, and suddenly became full of hope again.

Lu Mian was silent for a few seconds and said:

"What did the doctor say?"

The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly, looking at the human blood bread and said:

"He said it couldn't be cured, and I don't have the money to treat it..."

Lu Mian didn't ask specifically anymore, turned his body silently, and let this middle-aged man bypass the barricade with the blood-stained bread and cross this quiet alley.

He walked slowly back to the Ruwa Comprehensive Execution Ground and found that the "market" hadn't dispersed yet. Many citizens took this opportunity to picnic, sing, and dance, having a simple gathering.

Lu Mian retreated behind the trees at the edge of the rammed earth square, sat in the shadows, and silently stared at the people coming and going.

Time passed second by second, the "market" in the execution ground gradually became deserted, and the sun had already sunk to the place where the sky and the earth met, the surrounding environment becoming quite dim.

Lu Mian hid in the dark, watching the citizens and vendors leave one by one, without discovering any targets worth suspecting.

When the dark night truly arrived and the Ruwa Comprehensive Execution Ground was empty, with only the crimson moonlight shining, Lu Mian stood up slowly, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, he saw a black shadow climb over the side fence and sneak into the execution ground with agile movements.

Lu Mian stopped his movements and leaned deeper into the shadows of the trees.

That black shadow was thin and tall, wearing a top hat, and went directly to the area where the death row inmates had just been shot, squatted down, stretched out his hands, and dug up the soil that had permeated with some blood.

"Is this also someone who believes that the blood of death row inmates can be used to cure diseases? This movement, this speed, looks like a Beyonder..." Lu Mian watched the black shadow busy itself silently.

Not long after, the thin and tall black shadow wearing a top hat stood up holding a pile of blood-stained soil.

He didn't leave the Ruwa execution ground immediately, but instead walked toward the depths and arrived in front of the gallows.

This black shadow buried the blood-stained soil under the gallows, and with the help of the crimson moonlight, distinguished the plants growing there, seeming to be looking for something.

…………

Cherwood Town, inside the Red House Cafe with a bright mushroom-cap-style roof.

Franca, with black hair and brown eyes, wearing a hunting suit, ordered coarse salt red wine beef, french fries, Feynapotter egg pancakes, and quail thick soup with a few slices of ham for dinner.

She had a pleasant conversation with several ladies this afternoon and felt the longing and desire flowing in their eyes.

At the same time, she felt that someone was observing her in the dark, which was why she stayed until night.

By the time Franca had almost finished her dinner, a woman came down from the second floor.

It was the "Demoness" who had followed Franca last time. Today, she naturally had her waterfall-like orange-red hair draped down, wearing a white men's shirt, brownish suspender pants, and deep brown short boots, showing a perfectly proportioned figure. Her appearance was exquisite and clean, and her temperament was pure with a bit of wildness.

Without any hesitation, this woman suspected of being a member of the Demoness Sect walked straight toward Franca, pulled out a chair, and sat opposite her.

Franca deliberately looked at the "Demoness's" appearance and figure with a male-oriented gaze, watching her sit down with a smile, waiting for her to speak.

"Why did you come here again?" The "Demoness" with orange-red hair looked at Franca with a scrutinizing gaze.

Franca smiled slightly:

"Cherwood wine is my favorite wine, and the scenery and atmosphere here are also very good."

Seeing the "Demoness" with orange-red hair looking incredulous, Franca added with a smile:

"Besides, I heard..."

She lowered her voice and said in an ambiguous tone:

"There is a women's pleasure party here."

The "Demoness" with orange-red hair's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Who did you hear that from?"

Franca looked at the "Demoness's" face and said deliberately:

"I met a pervert before. He wanted to ambush me, but I solved him. He said he was an outer member of an organization called the 'Blessed Society', and the core members of this organization are women who like the same sex. They are trying to contact the participants of the women's pleasure party at the Red House Cafe, planning to develop them into the society."

Franca wasn't sure if the Demoness Sect had cooperated with the "Blessed Society". After all, it wasn't impossible for organizations worshipping evil gods to unite to a certain extent, just like Hugo Artois had multiple believers of evil gods under his command. So, she deliberately "confessed" to observe the reaction of the person opposite.

During the conversation, she prepared to defend against an ambush.

The expression of the "Demoness" with orange-red hair changed slightly, obviously becoming a bit more solemn.

The hostility and defense hidden in her eyes decreased a bit, but there was undisguised rejection.

Yo, is this treating all participants of the women's pleasure party as her lovers, and not wanting someone like me, who might have been a man, to touch them? Franca subconsciously imitated Lu Mian's tone and teased in her heart.

She preliminarily determined that the other party hadn't heard of the "Blessed Society" before, but had sensed some signs.

The "Demoness" opposite fell into memories, as if looking for possible problems.

After more than ten seconds, she subconsciously brushed her orange-red hair that had fallen down and asked vigilantly:

"Are you here to investigate the 'Blessed Society', or do you want to participate in the pleasure party?"

Franca smiled, attracting the instinctive attention of surrounding customers, making them show amazed expressions.

"Both." Franca looked at the orange-red eyes of that "Demoness". "By comparison, I hope to participate in the pleasure party more. How could people like us resist such a party? Don't you think so?"

She pointed out that she had already discovered that the other party was also a "Demoness" and suspected that she had transformed from a male "Assassin".

Franca was also hinting that she was originally male, so that the other party wouldn't suddenly make a move.

The "Demoness" dressed in men's clothing was obviously a bit resistant, but was also attracted by Franca's appearance and temperament, and remained silent without answering.

Franca leaned forward slightly and asked in a tone biased toward men:

"How should I address you?"

That "Demoness" hesitated for a moment and replied sullenly:

"Blanche Solon. And you?"

Solon... Another one from the Solon family? Franca suddenly thought that Lu Mian's recent "Iron and Blood Cross Order" mission was to contact people from the Solon family.

She didn't hide her real name and said with a smile:

"Franca Roland."

Blanche Solon let out a silent breath and said:

"Our party attaches great importance to everyone's privacy and safety and cannot let people with problems join. If you really desire it, you must accept our review."

Franca didn't care at all, played with the buttons of her shirt, and asked back with a smile:

"Then, where should the review start?"

…………

Prison District, Ruwa Comprehensive Execution Ground.

Under the crimson moonlight, the thin and tall figure wearing a top hat dug out a few handfuls of wild grass from the ground corresponding to the gallows.

The roots of those wild grasses flickered with blood-red light, looking extremely eerie in the moonlight.

And the thin and tall figure had a very straight nose bridge, relatively white skin, black medium-length hair combed neatly, and eyes that were a rare red. His appearance was handsome with a feminine feel.

Wearing a white shirt inside, a red tie, and a black formal suit outside, the thin and tall figure looked at the strange wild grass in his hand with joy and was about to stand up and leave the execution ground.

Just at this time, a male voice with a bit of curiosity rang in his ears:

"What are you digging?"

The thin and tall figure squatting under the gallows raised his head in astonishment, discovering that a figure looking down at him from above had appeared at some point in front of him.

That figure had golden hair, blue eyes like lake water, a white shirt simply paired with a black vest, looking both young and refreshing.

Why could he approach me without my senses detecting him? I didn't smell any scent, didn't sense any movement! The thin and tall figure was both shocked and afraid.

PS: Seeking double monthly votes for the beginning of the month~

PS2: Today I discovered that the big boss "Pot of Sun and Moon, Sleeve of Universe" voted a lot and rewarded a Silver Alliance, and the warm sun boss also voted 30,000 times. Thanks to everyone for voting. I can only add updates, but the auntie is also on vacation during the holiday, and I have to help take care of the baby. Two updates a day is very difficult, so the additional update will be on the 7th~
