Chapter 411

"I Have a Friend" said in a calm voice:

"'Mad Woman' should be a 'Traveler.' I don't know where she is permanently located...

"'Salted Egg Superman' was previously a Sequence 6 'Notary' of the 'Sun' pathway. I don't know now. He hasn't come to Trier recently, and I haven't left the asylum either. We just chat a few sentences every time we gather...

"'Loki' is a Sequence 5 'Marionettist' of the 'Seer' pathway, but I suspect that he is more valued by the Celestial Venerable than us and can use many resources we don't know about. He even has a mysterious ancient castle, Delan, hidden somewhere...

"'Bard' is a Sequence 6 'Fire Thief' of the 'Marauder' pathway. Of course, I'm not sure about his current situation. We haven't met in reality for a long time... That 'Secret Records of Emperor Roselle' was indeed written by him, published under a pseudonym...

"I'm not familiar with 'Hisoka.' He hasn't participated in any reality gatherings in the Northern Continent. In my opinion, he is very dangerous, second only to 'Loki,' and about the same as 'Mad Woman'...

"If I hadn't been crazy for a period of time, I should be Sequence 5 now..."

Delan Castle... Lu Mi remembered Lady "Hela's" description of "Loki's" dream and suspected that the mysterious castle hidden somewhere was the place where "Loki" was resurrected.

That "Bard" belonged to the "Marauder" pathway was something he hadn't expected before. He had thought the nickname originated from the "Sea Song" of the "Sailor" pathway or the "Midnight Poet" of the "Night" pathway, but thinking about it, it was also normal. In rural stories, bards often moonlighted as thieves.

This also confirmed that "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Xuanhuang Xuanhuang Tianzun" could exert no small influence on the "Seer," "Apprentice," and "Marauder" pathways. Half of the six core members belonged to these three pathways.

After "I Have a Friend" finished speaking, Seeing Fu Lan Ka followed up with concern:

"Which other members in the Research Society are your accomplices?"

"I Have a Friend" had no desire to hide and answered "calmly":

"The ones I know are 'Pettigrew'..."

"'Pettigrew'?" Seeing Fu Lan Ka blurted out in astonishment, "I thought he took this nickname to mock his height. As it turns out, he was mocking his identity?"

"I Have a Friend" nodded gently:

"Before finding the organization and joining the Research Society, he actually already knew 'Loki.' You all know that 'Loki' can use the power of the Celestial Venerable to sense transmigrators within a certain range, and 'Pettigrew' was also in the Trier region.

"He became 'Loki's' subordinate first and then entered the Research Society, being arranged in another group. He actually gave himself the nickname 'Pettigrew,' the reason being to uphold the spirit of pranks, displaying the real situation nakedly, mocking and fooling all the Research Society members who lacked sharpness. But in reality, I know that he was hesitating, he was feeling guilty, he was full of struggle, hoping to use this way to remind other Research Society members that there was something wrong with him.

"I planned to have an opportunity to tell him that 'Muggle,' who never discriminated against his height and was very gentle and kind to him, was the one who was harmed by our group of people to the point of having problems. He can also be considered an indirect helper. At that time, his expression of collapse and pain must be very good to look at."

"Fuck!" Seeing Fu Lan Ka cursed out loud.

Although "I Have a Friend" had his prefrontal lobe removed and the whole person became very calm, and his tone of voice no longer carried any mockery, the thoughts stated plainly were still full of malice, making Seeing Fu Lan Ka completely unable to control her emotions.

"What else?" Lu Mi helped her ask.

"I Have a Friend" reported five more nicknames in succession and finally said:

"These are the few I know. As for the ones 'Loki' and the others developed quietly without telling me, I don't know."

"There are quite a few..." Seeing Fu Lan Ka was both hateful and frustrated.

Lu Mi turned his head to look at her and said:

"Just tell Lady 'Hela' this intelligence. How to deal with it is a matter for those few presidents and vice presidents. You don't need to be embarrassed or hesitate; just enjoy the results. Aurora, uh, doesn't your hometown have a saying? If you don't see the lamb being killed and don't cook it yourself, you can enjoy the delicious lamb meat without any psychological barriers. Otherwise, it's inevitable to be merciful, soft-hearted, tangled, and painful."

Seeing Fu Lan Ka exhaled and muttered:

"Your sister's adaptation of famous quotes is too outrageous..."

She regained her spirit and looked at "I Have a Friend":

"Are you spreading the rumor that the end is coming everywhere because you believe in the Celestial Venerable, urging people to chase happiness, and thus doing all kinds of bad things without any psychological barriers, or did you determine that the end is coming and humans cannot resist, so you desperately believed in the Celestial Venerable?"

"I Have a Friend" answered:

"Both. Some tried to replicate their behavior before crossing over and directly received the gaze of the Celestial Venerable. Some encountered disasters, came into initial contact with matters of the end, and only believed in the Celestial Venerable after their spirits collapsed."

Speaking of this, the empty eye sockets of "I Have a Friend" turned toward Seeing Fu Lan Ka, who had just asked the question:

"Later, the Celestial Venerable also gave us some revelations, letting us guess part of the truth. That includes..."

For some reason, Lu Mi suddenly had a strong premonition of danger and directly interrupted the statement of "I Have a Friend":

"No need to speak!"

"I Have a Friend" immediately closed his mouth.

"Why can't you speak?" Seeing Fu Lan Ka was waiting for the answer with an itchy heart, who knew there would be no follow-up.

Lu Mi remembered concepts like the "barrier" related to the end and said sternly:

"You are not suitable to understand the truth of the end right now. That knowledge is very likely to make you lose control on the spot or suffer fatal contamination. Wait until you become a demigod before inquiring."

"Alright." Seeing Fu Lan Ka looked at Lu Mi and muttered, "Why do you act like you know the truth..."

Why can he, but I can't?

"I only know a little too." Lu Mi answered frankly, "And that did indeed bring me danger. Fortunately, there is the seal of Mr. 'Fool'."

At this time, as the effect of the "Truth Serum" faded, "I Have a Friend" returned to his unchanging calmness, and even the desire to answer questions disappeared.

Seeing Fu Lan Ka stared at this "psychiatrist" who had his prefrontal lobe removed for a few seconds and sighed:

"Sometimes, we are still too naive, perhaps all holding the thought of treating ourselves as protagonists."

Lu Mi knew that "we" here referred to the members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society."

Seeing Fu Lan Ka withdrew her gaze and turned to Lu Mi:

"When performing surgery on the sheep last night, I searched the hospital rooms of 'I Have a Friend' and his substitute. I found some papers in the latter's place. I didn't look at the content written on them in detail, feeling it was a bit obscure and hard to understand."

While speaking, she got up, returned to the room, and took out a thin stack of papers.

Lu Mi took them and flipped through them, quickly frowning:

"Mithra's Worship..."

"What is this?" Seeing Fu Lan Ka hadn't heard the first half of the interrogation just now.

Lu Mi explained it simply and finally said:

"This should be a spell to cross the 'Formless Gate,' closely fit with a certain evil god, and obtain knowledge and experience. Even ordinary people, after receiving correct guidance, should be able to learn it."

"I just said why it felt so evil when reading it. What various heavens, what formless gate, what great sights, what edge of immortality, it sounds very dangerous at first listen!" Seeing Fu Lan Ka sighed sincerely.

Lu Mi put away the mystical ritual of "Mithra's Worship." Although he wouldn't use it and didn't need to use it, the corresponding knowledge could still be mastered. This would help in dealing with evil god believers who relied on "Mithra's Worship" to obtain knowledge and power.

He then said to Seeing Fu Lan Ka:

"You pass on the intelligence from just now to Lady 'Hela.' I'll go deal with 'I Have a Friend'."

"Hmm." Seeing Fu Lan Ka nodded gently, watching Lu Mi put on the "Lie" ear clip, walk to the armchair, grab the shoulders of the calm man, and disappear instantly.

…………

Prison District, Ruwa Comprehensive Execution Ground.

At this time, it wasn't seven in the morning yet. There wasn't a single figure here, and it was wet, as if isolated from the world.

Lu Mi walked out of the void with "I Have a Friend" and tied this core member of "April Fool's" to the stake.

Then, he retreated a long distance, squatted down halfway, and pressed his hands on the ground.

Two crimson tongues of fire darted along the weed-covered rammed earth ground, quickly darting toward the body of "I Have a Friend."

They became bigger and bigger, finally turning into giant snakes, completely swallowing "I Have a Friend."

Lu Mi stood up, maintaining the transmission of flames with his feet while silently watching the calm "psychiatrist" stress-induce the appearance of gray-white "dragon scales."

His body struggled subconsciously, but it wasn't that intense. His various Beyonder abilities were sprinkled toward the surroundings, but they couldn't affect Lu Mi outside the range.

Lu Mi condensed a dangerous flame spear and threw it out, burning and piercing a crack in the chest and abdomen of "I Have a Friend."

The crimson flames that hadn't burned the "dragon scales" elsewhere rushed there and poured into the body of "I Have a Friend."

Watching this core member of "April Fool's" truly start to burn, his body instinctively making painful sounds, Lu Mi's mind was filled with thoughts, quickly recalling the battle last night and the interrogation today.

He extracted a lot of experience from it, but it hadn't formed into acting rules yet:

"Fire is not just damage, but also deterrence, intimidation, and a signal...

"'Arsonist' needs to combine their flames with traps...

"..."

While the fierce flames burned "I Have a Friend" violently, it was as if a fire was also burning in Lu Mi's heart.

That was anger, that was satisfaction, that was venting.

At this moment, Lu Mi's "Arsonist" potion had digested a bit more, just like the situation after the battle last night.

I don't know how much time passed, but in the empty execution ground, on the high stake, "I Have a Friend" stopped struggling, lost his breath, and his body was charred and cracked.
