Chapter 593: Information Gap

Hearing Lu Mian's question, Miss "Magician's" tone carried a bit more emotion:

"Mr. 'Door' was the ancestor of the Abraham family, the duke ranked first among the five great nobles of the Tudor Empire. It was precisely He who sealed this spaceship, and Amon was responsible for designing the ritual, periodically stealing the power scattered by the black hole to reduce the pressure brought by the natural decay of the seal and accelerate the demise of the black hole."

Ranked even higher than Amon... In the Tudor Empire, Mr. "Door" was second only to the "Blood Emperor"? Lu Mian listened very attentively.

At this time, Miss "Magician" sighed softly:

"In a sense, Mr. 'Door' can also be considered my mentor."

Mentor? Your mentor was an Angel of Retribution from the Fourth Epoch, the duke ranked first in the Tudor Empire? Those were figures from one or two thousand years ago... Lu Mian hadn't expected Miss "Magician" to have such a deep background.

No wonder she could become the "Star Angel" beside Mr. "Fool's" divine throne, no wonder she was a holder of the Great Arcana card of the "Tarot Club"!

Miss "Magician" swept a glance at Lu Mian and said in a tone carrying a bit of teasing:

"It was indeed Mr. 'Door' who guided and 'urged' me to move forward step by step on the divine path, but the method wasn't what you imagined. That wasn't a good thing at all."

Not a good thing... Lu Mian first froze, then had a realization.

He combined his own experience to make a guess:

Miss "Magician" had once suffered corruption originating from Mr. "Door," received help from Mr. "Fool," and joined the Tarot Club because of this?

But listening to Miss "Magician," she later reconciled with Mr. "Door"? Otherwise, she wouldn't say the other party counted as her mentor... Truly wonderful, not real enough. It's like me saying in the future to others that the Angel of Fate Termiboros also counts as my mentor... Lu Mian muttered two sentences in his heart and tentatively asked:

"Is Mr. 'Door' still active on the earth now?"

Is He as lively as His colleague Amon?

Miss "Magician" shook her head:

"He has already fallen."

So that's how it is... Lu Mian cast his gaze toward the deep sea surface where the bottom couldn't be seen again:

"Was the purpose of 'April Fools'' to obtain that spaceship?

"But they don't look like they know that a black hole in gestation is sealed inside..."

That is a terrifying thing that even true gods couldn't completely solve. Once it breaks free from the seal and develops for a period of time, it will compress and swallow everything around it. Why did the core members of "April Fools'," who didn't even have the demigod level, feel they could face it without fear?

Relying on that spaceship to suppress it? I'm afraid that won't work. Only existences at the level of the evil god who created that black hole or Mr. "Fool" could control it, right...

The "Mad Woman" even felt that what was sealed was a god in gestation or a monster of similar status...

Thinking of this, Lu Mian's heart stirred, and he asked in a low voice:

"Were those core members of 'April Fools'' all misled? Was the purpose of that Celestial Worthy to release the black hole, create a doomsday disaster in advance, and achieve His own purpose as long as Beyonders who had suffered His corruption entered the interior of the spaceship?"

This really doesn't treat the lives of "Ultraman," "Mad Woman," "Bard," and "Loki" as anything...

However, this is also the style of "April Fools'." They also don't treat lives other than themselves as anything!

Lu Mian suddenly wanted to laugh, his mood, already satisfied because he had taken down "Ultraman" and "Mad Woman," becoming even more joyful.

Miss "Magician" nodded gently:

"If you hadn't mobilized all resources and handled this matter with absolute strength, if I had arrived ten or twenty seconds late, and the grayish-white mist that crawled out from the 'Mad Woman's' body had completely seeped into that spaceship, the result might have been completely different. We wouldn't be able to chat about this matter here in a relaxed state."

Lu Mian recalled the process of the matter and said thoughtfully, as if talking to himself:

"If I hadn't obtained the temporary authority of the 'Viceroy of the Sea' and restricted the 'Mad Woman's' 'teleportation,' she might have truly approached the flesh 'bird's nest' gestating the black hole before you arrived, instead of splitting out a human shape composed of grayish-white mist to try and seep into the spaceship. In that case, the situation would have been even worse, and even difficult to handle..."

And the reason he was able to obtain the temporary authority of the "Viceroy of the Sea" was because he used "Lies" to steal a portion of the sea's power, could resonate with this "sea area," and possessed a very high fake status himself.

The reason he was able to use "Lies" to steal a portion of the sea's power was because that magical artifact of the "Diviner" pathway had obtained a high-status "Theft" power gift when placed on the altar for "worshipping ancestors" in Milo Village.

The reason that altar could grant high-status "Theft" power to items was because it was built by Amon... Built by Amon...

Lu Mian's thoughts suddenly cleared, roughly understanding that it wasn't just them destroying the plot of "April Fools'," but that there were high-ranking figures in the dark who didn't want to see that Celestial Worthy succeed!

Miss "Magician" laughed:

"Figured it out? After seeing the 'Lies' that had obtained the 'Theft' power, I knew what the situation was.

"I peeked at the altar underground in Milo Village some time ago and determined that its role was to collect the spirituality of worshippers and accumulate sufficient power to push the gift of the 'Theft' ability. And with the population of Milo Village and the number of people with sea bloodlines, it could only grant 'Theft' once a year, and each time the duration wouldn't exceed half a month, and it could only be used once or twice.

"The power attached to 'Lies' was much thicker than that."

Lu Mian frowned slightly:

"Do you mean that the 'Theft' on 'Lies' was given directly by Amon?"

Such a guess made him have an absurd, ridiculous, and unreal feeling again.

A few months ago, he was still so tense from being scared by Amon that he almost died in the "Samaritan Woman's Spring." Afterward, he tipped off the "Tarot Club," helped the "Time Angel" clean up the vast majority of Amon in Trier, and incidentally forcibly demanded a large debt from Amon's parasite.

What kind of relationship is this? This is a relationship of deep hatred! For both sides, it should be like this.

As a result, now telling him that Amon secretly helped him?

Although Lu Mian knew that Amon helping him wasn't a mental breakdown, just to destroy the purpose of that Celestial Worthy, he still couldn't help but doubt whether the world was normal.

Miss "Magician" laughed:

"Perhaps, at that time, an Amon was crouching inside that altar.

"Actually, I also didn't expect that those figures whom we used to fear, fear, and be vigilant about when discussing them would now be able to cooperate from time to time. Of course, you shouldn't become negligent from this. When facing evil gods outside the barrier, everyone might be teammates, but in other matters, it might not be so. And even when dealing with the believers of evil gods, you have to look at the specific circumstances. Perhaps they feel they can handle it alone and take the opportunity to set a trap to harm you?"

"Alright..." Lu Mian didn't want to believe it, but had to accept this situation. The facts were already before his eyes.

With the information completed, he reorganized the matter of the Sea Prayer Ceremony in his mind, making the spiderweb-like thought pattern become more perfect, no longer having key omissions.

Corresponding experience and lessons emerged in Lu Mian's mind:

"'April Fools'' biggest failure was not knowing that besides having the identity of a member of the 'Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society,' Fors and I were also members of the 'Tarot Club,' and the Tarot Club attaches great importance to issues related to the Celestial Worthy...

"They also exist in an information gap with the Celestial Worthy, to the point of being deceived and walking toward death step by step...

"Didn't they think that their purpose and the Celestial Worthy's purpose might not be the same?

"I also exist in a lack of information, but fortunately, I wasn't negligent, didn't underestimate the enemies on the surface and hidden, and used all my strength like a lion fighting a rabbit...

"Of course, a very important point is that those who mastered key information and concealed it were on my side in this operation. Next time, if they are enemies with me? How should I respond..."

Amidst his racing thoughts, thanks to this hunt being considered successful and the questions he thought of, Lu Mian felt his "Conspirator" potion digestion progress move forward by a long stretch, and summarized his third acting code:

"One of the keys to a conspiracy is information. A good conspirator must be good at using information gaps, and even actively creating information gaps."

Closing his eyes and feeling his body's condition, Lu Mian felt that if he had another big, successful conspiracy and a period of daily accumulation, he should be able to completely digest the "Conspirator" potion.

And that big conspiracy could be combined with the ritual for advancing to Sequence 5 "Reaper," without needing to plan separately.

—The ritual for "Reaper" requires planning a conspiracy and capturing alive a target with a sequence higher than oneself.

When Lu Mian opened his eyes, Miss "Magician" passed that patch of darkness in her palm to him:

"You are responsible for the distribution of these things. This is something a 'Hunter' must learn and do well if they want to advance to a demigod."

"Good." Lu Mian was long used to distributing spoils of war.

He then added:

"But before that, I want to see the 'Bard' first."

That was also a spoil of war.

…………

Night Country, inside the ancient, dilapidated giant palace.

The figures of Lu Mian, Fors, "Lady Lady Hai La," and "Gandalf" appeared here one after another.

They were all dressed in the attire they usually wore when attending gatherings. That is to say, Lu Mian was now "Muggle" Aurora.

"Gandalf" threw the "Bard" he was carrying onto the ground, not imposing any restrictions on him.

The "Bard" looked around this familiar place, having no thoughts of escaping or resisting.

This was the isolated Night Country, the hidden Night Country. What could he use to run?

And facing two demigods, what could he use to resist?

The "Bard" swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said first:

"I was also bewitched by 'Loki'!"

He could only hope that he, who had been tempered by the "Con Artist" sequence, could successfully "persuade" the two demigods.

Seeing "Lady Lady Hai La" and "Gandalf" both silent, the "Bard" added:

"I can take you to find 'Loki's' ancient castle. I know a clue, really!"

Just at this moment, he heard Lu Mian Lee, disguised as "Muggle," say in a low voice:

"Kill him directly and perform spirit mediumship."
