Chapter 410

~11 min read 2,061 words

Amidst the exaggerated laughter, the doors of the two bedrooms creaked open.

Fu Lan Ka and Yu Jianna appeared at the doorways respectively, looking at Lu Mi in confusion.

"Is there anything funny?" Fu Lan Ka muttered as she walked over.

How can interrogating a prisoner result in a reaction like watching a comedy performance?

Lu Mi stopped laughing and teased:

"Ignorance brings a lot of danger, and arrogance is the same. And being both ignorant and arrogant is almost impossible to save."

Seeing this, Yu Jianna shrank back into the bedroom and closed the door.

She knew that there were some things that were inconvenient for her to know about Charles and Fu Lan Ka.

"Why, is this guy both ignorant and arrogant?" Fu Lan Ka used her right hand as a comb to quickly tidy up her messy long hair from when she had just woken up.

She sat on the armchair and cast her gaze toward "I Have a Friend," who was so calm that he had no emotions at all.

Lu Mi told the whole story of how "I Have a Friend" felt that just escaping wasn't interesting and had to find some fun, and also didn't know about the relationship between the pursuers and the "Tarot Club."

Fu Lan Ka was speechless for a moment after hearing it.

She didn't know whether to say that this core member of "April Fool's" had a lot of professional spirit and was very persistent in his own philosophy, or that he was both arrogant and ignorant.

After a few seconds, Fu Lan Ka turned back to look at the door of the guest bedroom:

"Yu Jianna is participating in our affairs more and more. Sooner or later, she will notice our true faith and the secret organization behind us..."

Lu Mi said without much concern:

"This is simple. Mr. 'Fool' is an officially recognized orthodox god. In a few days, you can find an opportunity to take Yu Jianna to Lavigny Wharf, tell her who we truly believe in, which deity's attendant we are working for, and ask her if she wants to secretly convert to Mr. 'Fool.' It doesn't matter if she doesn't."

"Hmm." Fu Lan Ka nodded a bit heavily.

Lu Mi looked back at "I Have a Friend," who was waiting calmly, and brought the topic back on track:

"Why did you target Aurora, 'Muggle'?"

"I Have a Friend" spoke as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with himself:

"Because many members of the Research Society were praising her, so we decided to let her make a fool of herself."

"What kind of logic is that?" Fu Lan Ka blurted out, "Others praise her, so you want to tease her?"

"I Have a Friend" nodded gently:

"Shattering the beautiful image in many people's minds is one of the spirits of pranks. Their reactions can very well please us."

Fu Lan Ka was so angry that her face flushed red. She wanted to curse but hated that her vocabulary wasn't rich enough.

She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled:

"So, do you still know what happiness and pleasure are now? Will you still have these two emotions?"

Lu Mi let out a long breath and said:

"And then?"

"I Have a Friend" revealed an expression of recollection:

"Taking the opportunity of 'Muggle' coming to our group to seek a transaction, I gave her a lot of useful advice from time to time. She trusted me more and more, and would even tell me, this psychiatrist, about some things that troubled her, seeking solutions.

"During that period, I appeared very trustworthy, but that was just to prepare for collecting enough information to design a big prank. Then, I learned that the body 'Muggle' occupied when she crossed over belonged to a young girl who believed in the evil god of fate. Moreover, she had also discovered at the time that her father, mother, older brother, older sister, and younger brother were all a bit abnormal, with many details that would make one feel fear upon deep thought. Thus, she found an opportunity to run away from home.

"This is very similar to the situation of a certain family I know. They also had a female member who suddenly went missing.

"After repeated comparisons, I, 'Loki,' and that family all confirmed that 'Muggle' was the female member they had lost. Then, one day, 'Loki' took the 'Soul-Calling Ritual' that the family had improved and said to me, find a way to sell it to 'Muggle' and let her use it on herself.

"Relying on my understanding of 'Muggle's' psychological state and mental condition, I carefully designed a whole set of rhetoric. With the help of her desire to return to her hometown and her habit of searching for clues everywhere, I let 'Mad Woman' sell the 'Soul-Calling Ritual' to her.

"She really started to have a split personality, and Roche Louise Sanson came back to life in a sense.

"In every subsequent treatment, I was making her appear to be getting better on the surface, but in fact, the problems were more serious each time. Sometimes, I would also deliberately guide Roche's personality to appear and chat with her for a few sentences. This is very interesting."

Lu Mi listened silently, without angrily interrupting the narration of "I Have a Friend." As for Fu Lan Ka, she was so angry that she drank water continuously to calm her mood.

How can this group of people be so hateful!

They didn't treat others as real people at all!

After "I Have a Friend" finished speaking, Lu Mi asked:

"The 'Soul-Calling Ritual' came from Roche Louise Sanson's family?"

"Yes." The state of "I Have a Friend" was like a windless lake. "They combined the knowledge from the gift with the 'Soul-Calling Ritual' invented by a certain 'Witch' to have the 'Soul-Calling Ritual' that 'Muggle' bought. I don't know what is specifically special about it; I am not a researcher of witchcraft."

Knowledge from the gift... Lu Mi quickly went through the knowledge brought by "Dancer," "Beggar Monk," and "Contractee" in his mind, but didn't find any content that could be combined with the "Soul-Calling Ritual."

He reasonably suspected that it was knowledge attached to a higher sequence of the fate pathway or specifically gifted by that evil god named after fate.

Lu Mi thought for a few seconds and asked slowly:

"Does Roche Louise Sanson's family know about the existence and state of 'Muggle,' and even grasp her real identity and the location where she lives?"

"I Have a Friend" nodded:

"The first part is what I told them, and the second part is what Roche said herself. Later, they even bypassed me and 'Loki' and established contact directly."

The spread of the fate faith in Cordu Village and the acquisition of various resources all have the shadow of that "Sinner" organization... It's also true, Father Guillaume Bénet could join them immediately after leaving Cordu Village and become a so-called archbishop, which indirectly proves this point... Lu Mi's mood was heavy but his mind was very clear.

He clenched his hands unconsciously, looked at "I Have a Friend," and said:

"What are the names of the members of that family, where do they live, and are they members of a secret organization or an evil god cult?"

"I Have a Friend" shook his head:

"After I moved into the asylum, I lost contact with them. During this period, I tried to find them and found that they had moved away from their residence and seemed not to have used their original identities anymore, as if they were avoiding something.

"Roche's father is named Vazan, her mother is Constance, her older brother is Bliss, her older sister is Annette, and her younger brother is Arthur. They are all members of a branch of the Sanson family. I don't know what names they are using now.

"Vazan is a businessman who was once close to bankruptcy, but later joined that secret organization named 'Sinner' and miraculously got rid of his predicament and achieved success again. He has many industries, the most famous of which is the Vazan Cafe, which has the functions of both a hotel and a restaurant. People from high society come and go, but before they moved away, these industries were all sold."

Lu Mi asked carefully about the situation of the "Sinner" organization and the physical characteristics, pace, gait, and habits of each member of the family.

After grasping this information, he then said thoughtfully:

"Do you know what role the demigods or higher-sequence Beyonders of the 'Sinner' organization played in that disaster in Cordu Village?"

"I Have a Friend" answered:

"Not long before I moved into the asylum, Vazan told me that they were very surprised by this. It was much earlier than the time node they had agreed upon, to the point that not one of them arrived at the scene.

"It seems that it was caused by some people being too impatient to obtain the gift. The accident caused by that failure also led them to lose a large number of clues, otherwise you would have been found by them long ago."

The "Sufferer" hidden in the dark of Cordu Village and around me is not that demigod of the "Sinner" organization? Then who is the one cooperating with Termiboros to interfere with my fate? Lu Mi frowned and said:

"Roche didn't tell the 'Sinner' organization, or tell her parents and brothers, about holding the ritual in advance?"

"No." "I Have a Friend" stated plainly, "They guessed that she wanted to reduce the number of people obtaining the gift and make the power of the gift more concentrated."

Lu Mi fell into silence, feeling that this matter was a bit strange.

Was it done by that lizard-like little sprite?

While it was preventing Aurora from seeking help from Lady "Hela," it was also not letting Roche Louise Sanson contact the "Sinner" organization?

Lu Mi asked about this detail several times but didn't obtain more information.

Fearing that the effect of the "Truth Serum" would pass, he hurried to change the topic:

"What did the deity you believe in let you do in Trier?"

"I Have a Friend" turned his empty eye sockets toward the sofa area and said:

"He occasionally gives us some revelations, letting us interpret them ourselves.

"If we can understand them correctly and complete the corresponding matters, there will be some unexpected gains.

"Besides revelations, He almost never gives us oracles. We only have to set up rituals to pray to Him, and this cannot exceed once a week."

The state of "Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuan Huang Xuanhuang Xuanhuang Tianzun" is very close to that of Mr. "Fool"... Lu Mi originally wanted to follow up and ask what revelations "Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuan Huang Xuanhuang Xuanhuang Tianzun" had given, but was worried that topics involving such existences would bring danger.

After brief deliberation and deduction, he decided to cut in from another angle and inquire indirectly:

"Was the rumor about human blood bread manufactured by you?"

"Yes." "I Have a Friend" did not deny it.

Lu Mi continued to ask:

"What about the rumor that mandrake can cure diseases?"

"I Have a Friend" said calmly:

"It was also made by me.

"That was a revelation given by the Celestial Venerable, and then I discovered that it could be played like this. After a period of time, I spread the rumor about human blood bread."

The rumor about mandrake was a revelation given by "Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuan Huang Xuanhuang Xuanhuang Tianzun"? Then will there be any hidden dangers in using it to suppress the state of spiritual surge? Lu Mi considered whether to remind that somewhat naive vampire, Lano Bruh.

He circled around and asked about other revelations of "Fu Sheng Fusheng Fusheng Fusheng Xuan Huang Xuanhuang Xuanhuang Tianzun," but didn't get any very useful intelligence, so he had to enter the last topic:

"Tell me about the situation of 'Mad Woman,' 'Salted Egg Superman,' 'Hisoka,' 'Loki,' and 'Bard'."
