Chapter 412
In the wet execution ground with light rain, Lu Mi watched the crimson flames gradually become smaller before his eyes, watching a little bit of transparent, colorless mucus seep out from within that corpse. They surrounded "I Have a Friend," who was charred and cracked all over, trying to drill into his head from the empty eye sockets and combine with some kind of organ.
Crimson fire crows condensed around Lu Mi, one after another, grabbing in front of those mucus strands, scrambling to pass through the eye sockets that still had traces of blood.
Boom!
The head of "I Have a Friend" exploded from the inside out, blowing into pieces, and gray-white gelatin was sprinkled everywhere.
Those transparent, colorless mucus strands lost their binding object and could only condense on their own, finally forming a mass of viscous gelatin.
That gelatin fell onto the stake with a *plop*. Looking from afar, it was like a mirror with an unfixed shape that could reflect everything around it.
Lu Mi walked over and, in the scorching air and flowing flames, bent down to pick up this colorless gelatin that should be the Beyonder characteristic of a "Hypnotist."
He stared at it and found that there were small transparent bubbles in the depths of the gelatin, reflecting sunlight from different angles and presenting different colors.
Putting away this Beyonder characteristic, Lu Mi turned his body and left the stake.
Behind him, the remaining flames were still burning, still constantly tearing at that charred corpse.
Amidst the changing light, Lu Mi's figure disappeared from the Ruwa Comprehensive Execution Ground.
…………
Market District, 3 White Coat Street, Apartment 601.
Lu Mi, who had changed back to his original appearance through the "Lie" ear clip, rubbed his temples and said to Fu Lan Ka:
"It's already been dealt with. It's a fire execution very fitting for a person like him.
"It's a pity that he believes in the Celestial Venerable. Even if he does nothing, he is a hidden danger, a hidden bomb. Otherwise, I would have let him live on in a state where his prefrontal lobe was removed and his eyes were blinded."
"This is quite good." Fu Lan Ka let out a breath.
She actually had some regrets. If it weren't for the fact that "I Have a Friend" had been crazy before and believed in the "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Xuanhuang Xuanhuang Tianzun" who was suspected of causing their group of people to cross over, she really wanted to perform spirit mediumship on him and ask for the potion formulas from Sequence 9 to Sequence 6 or even Sequence 5 of the "Spectator" pathway. But after repeated weighing, she gave up this dangerous plan.
Lu Mi looked at the open door of the guest bedroom:
"Where is Yu Jianna?"
"She went to the Old Pigeon Cage." Fu Lan Ka mocked Lu Mi, "In the matter of digesting the potion, she is much more diligent than you."
Lu Mi responded thoughtfully:
"After venting the flames in my heart and using flames to actually fight and complete the execution, my 'Arsonist' potion has also digested quite a bit. According to this progress, if I can summarize new acting rules, I should be able to digest it completely in another two months."
He didn't continue this topic and turned to say:
"I plan to hand over the Beyonder characteristic of 'I Have a Friend' to Lady 'Magician.' If it weren't for her and the 'Tarot Club's' help this time, we either wouldn't have found the target or would have lost control directly in the first attack."
"No problem." Fu Lan Ka didn't mind at all. "I wouldn't dare to hold the Beyonder characteristic of such an evil god believer in my hands without it being processed by a high-ranking person. Don't think about owing me anything. Dealing with 'I Have a Friend' is also a need of the 'Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society'."
Lu Mi didn't stand on ceremony anymore, seeing Fu Lan Ka return to the bedroom and change into a white shirt dotted with lace flowers and slim-fitting beige trousers, looking like she was preparing to go out.
"Where are you going?" He asked casually.
Fu Lan Ka answered angrily:
"I've been busy with all kinds of things you caused every day during this period. I haven't had time to go for pleasure. Now that it's finally over, I have to enjoy myself, right? I advise you to behave yourself these few days too!"
Lu Mi watched with amusement as this "Pleasure Witch" put on her boots, opened the door, and went out.
Amidst the clanging sound of the door closing, he, who had originally intended to return to the Golden Rooster Hotel to write a letter to Lady "Magician," simply found paper and pen on the spot, leaned against the dining table, and wrote down all the situations that "I Have a Friend" had confessed.
Then, he folded the paper neatly and pressed the "Hypnotist" Beyonder characteristic from "I Have a Friend" on top of it.
As the "Doll" messenger was summoned, Lu Mi waited patiently.
Not long after, the "Doll" messenger brought back that mass of transparent gelatin and the square-folded paper.
Lady "Magician" wrote in her reply:
"This is a public mission of the 'Tarot Club.' There's no need to give us a reward. You keep it yourself. I have already cleared away the part of the contamination that could be cleared.
"We will mobilize various resources to find the whereabouts of the remaining five 'April Fool's' members, but currently, we lack effective entry points. The few pranks mentioned in the intelligence happened too long ago."
Lu Mi finished reading silently and let the crimson flames swallow the paper in his hand.
He really wanted to "teleport" directly to the Gaia Province of Feynapotter and the West Balam of the Southern Continent to find the problematic "April Fool's" group members like "Bard" in person, but he also knew that this wouldn't have any effect. Without enough intelligence or clues as a premise, that was no different from fishing a fallen silver needle out of the ocean.
You can't expect that little boy eating ice cream to give good luck every time, right?
Can only wait until the "Tarot Club" finds effective clues... What can be tracked now is the publisher of that underground book, "Secret Records of Emperor Roselle." If only they had met "Bard," the real author... Lu Mi felt a bit lost and a bit relaxed for a moment.
He planned to take his time with that "Hypnotist" Beyonder characteristic, while looking for a suitable craftsman and waiting for Anthony Reid to investigate the matter of General Philippe's widow.
If that "psychiatrist" could have some gains and finally cure his own psychological problems, Lu Mi wouldn't mind selling the "Hypnotist" Beyonder characteristic to him and splitting the money with Fu Lan Ka.
If a suitable craftsman was found before that, Lu Mi would define the manufactured magical artifact as a public item, which Fu Lan Ka, Yu Jianna, and the others could use at will.
After putting the "Hypnotist" Beyonder characteristic into the secret pocket of his clothes, Lu Mi exhaled and leaned back against the back of the dining chair.
At this moment, he heard the rumbling of his stomach and felt the familiar hunger.
Since waking up at six in the morning, he had been busy with interrogation, execution, and writing letters, completely forgetting that he still needed breakfast.
"Really, leaving me alone here, as if this were my home..." Lu Mi muttered as he got up, walked into the apartment's kitchen, intending to see if there was anything to eat and deal with it casually.
As his gaze swept over, he saw a few potatoes.
Lu Mi was stunned for a few seconds, rolled up his shirt sleeves, put on the apron hanging beside him, skillfully peeled the potatoes, washed them, and turned them into thin shreds.
Next, he followed the process: light the fire, heat the pot, pour oil, stir-fry until fragrant, put in the cut potato shreds and stir-fry continuously, add corresponding seasonings, and take it out of the pot.
After completing such a dish, Lu Mi also toasted two slices of toast and poured a glass of milk.
He sat beside the dining table, sandwiched the potato shreds between the two slices of toast, and chewed slowly, drinking a sip of milk from time to time.
Outside the window, the light rain dissipated, and the sun was bright.
…………
For the next week, Lu Mi was no longer busy, waiting peacefully for the recovery of the mental trauma left by the two recent battles, and looking for various opportunities to act as an "Arsonist," slowly digesting the potion.
During this process, he also took time to report the recent work situation and the newly discovered evil god organization to Mr. K.
The Savard members of the Breeze Ballroom were all very surprised that their boss had actually appeared for five or six consecutive days, staying for a long time each time. Compared to not being able to find him before, he was as professional as if he had been replaced by a fake.
Charlie was equally surprised that Charles actually went to the basement bar to drink every night, teasing this one and mocking that one, and he himself was undoubtedly the biggest victim.
Just when Fu Lan Ka was feeling a bit empty from pleasure and wanted to go to the Red House Cafe in Chayot Town again, hinting to Blanche Solon not to forget to review herself, the pure silver-like skull head of "Hela" sent the notification of holding a special gathering to Apartment 601 at 3 White Coat Street and the abandoned safe house Lu Mi had on White Coat Street respectively.
Lu Mi hadn't been to that safe house for a while. If it weren't for Fu Lan Ka specifically asking him a question after receiving the letter, he wouldn't have known about the letter.
Many members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" were like this, having a fixed place to send and receive letters, but not living there, just going to take a look regularly, lest they be found directly by "Hela."
In such details, they still had a certain sense of safety.
Lu Mi came to the abandoned safe house on White Coat Street, unfolded the letter paper, and saw it written on it:
"'Muggle':
"At ten o'clock tonight, there will be a special gathering. We need to discuss a very important matter that concerns everyone's safety."
…………
At night, three minutes before ten o'clock, Lu Mi chanted the spell containing secret power in the safe house on Nightingale Street.
He immediately felt that he had entered a state similar to deep sleep, leaving the impression that his body was being erased by an eraser.
I don't know how much time passed, but he suddenly regained sobriety and came to that ancient palace surrounded by a fog-shrouded town once again.
At this time, more than a hundred members of the "Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society" had arrived, and one figure after another was still being outlined quickly.
Passing through the scene like a large masquerade ball, Lu Mi, who had turned into Aurora's appearance through "Lie" and was wearing a wizard's black robe and a half-face mask, came to the "Academy" group.
He looked over and didn't see that member nicknamed "Pettigrew."
"Professor," wearing a black butterfly mask and a shirt with a bow tie and a dark long coat, was standing beside a man of medium height, thin build, and a brown-yellow cowhide file bag over his head.
That was her husband, "Associate Professor."
"Professor" looked at Lu Mi and asked curiously:
"Do you know what happened, why hold a special gathering?"
Lu Mi, playing "Muggle" Aurora, curled the corners of his lips and sighed:
"Because there are traitors."
"Traitors..." "Professor" and the other members of the "Academy" group repeated this word.
At this time, the president "Gandalf," wearing a simple robe and hood and looking like a half-giant, and the vice president "Hela," dressed as a black widow and covering her face with a veil, walked to the huge stone chair in the depths of the ancient palace at the same time.
