Chapter 654

Hearing Lu Mian's question, "Siso" curled his lips and smiled again:

"Those were a few Fallen, Fallen controlled by me."

"Fallen?" Lu Mian could understand the literal meaning, but didn't understand what it was about.

At the same time, he slandered "Siso" in his heart:

We really are in a dream; this emotional change is too fast.

"Siso" said in a tone of reminiscence:

"A 'Desire Apostle' can plant seeds in someone's heart when their emotions and desires fluctuate significantly, making the corresponding problems increasingly serious, letting them slowly lose self-control, and gradually fall."

"Combined with my own special abilities, I can let those humans never be able to escape my control after repeated falls over a long period, and they can only obey my orders."

Similar to injecting addictive mental drugs, but more mystical? Lu Mian looked for comparable examples from a perspective easy for him to understand.

Suddenly, he thought of a description of a "Devil" by someone from the Napo Redesli:

"The devil of the body, the devil of the heart..."

Does this belong to a manifestation of the devil of the heart? Is the special aspect of "Siso" the Demon manifested in this aspect? Looking at it this way, could the person who contacted him in the "Temperance Faction" have already been corrupted by him, showing signs of falling, which is why they didn't report some of his abnormalities? Lu Mian looked at "Siso" thoughtfully and said:

"Worthy of being a Desire Apostle, a devil of the heart that induces falling. Is this holding a ritual for advancing to 'Devil'?"

"Just getting familiar with it first." "Siso" didn't deny it, but believed that the current situation was far from it, more like a drill.

"So confident. After the prank in Tizamo town at the end of last year, you should have just advanced to 'Desire Apostle.' It's only been a year, and you're already considering becoming a demigod?" Lu Mian pondered and said, "Because you finally pleased that devil in the North family and obtained that thing?"

Even in a dream, "Siso" didn't seem very willing to reveal this matter. He answered with some resistance:

"Yes."

Lu Mian didn't go to provoke "Siso" for the time being, to avoid the dream ending early. He changed the question:

"What about that thing?"

When "Siso" was demonized, the clothes on his body were torn, and nothing strange fell out.

"Siso's" expression twisted and he said:

"It's, it's in Tizamo town."

Hidden in the hometown of Tizamo town... If it's very important, why not carry it with you? Lu Mian became increasingly curious about Tizamo town, the gold mining city of Dewis, and the two pranks led by "Siso."

He thought for a moment and said:

"You planned the prank in Dewis just to steal a batch of gold?"

"Yes." "Siso" gave an affirmative answer.

Have you read too many novels about gold heists? Were you in urgent need of such a large sum of money at the time? Hmm, for a "criminal," when needing gold, planning an action to rob is a very normal performance. Unlike me, who relies on hunting and the gifts of scoundrels... Lu Mian just felt this was nothing, but suddenly associated it with some things:

Franca has been saving gold recently, with the goal of sacrificing it to the armor shadow Chen Tu in the future...

Could "Siso" also have specifically planned the prank and gotten a large batch of gold for a similar sacrifice? Lu Mian looked at "Siso" and asked tentatively:

"Was that gold sacrificed to the devil of the North family?"

"Siso" answered indifferently:

"It's in Tizamo town."

"What exactly is in Tizamo town?" Lu Mian asked along the way.

"Siso" seemed to wake up suddenly, shouting with a twisted expression:

"Dream Festival, Dream Festival!"

His shadow came alive, pounced on him, and shrouded him inside.

"Siso" turned pitch black again, transforming into a viscous, filthy, evil liquid, rapidly spreading in all directions, seeming to want to pollute this interrogation room, pollute Lu Mian, and pollute the entire dream.

Lu Mian instantly broke free from the dream and saw "Siso," who was sleeping on the ground, showing signs of demonization once again, and having a slightly transparent feeling.

This core member of the "April Fool's Day" was about to lose control!

Lu Mian didn't hesitate, and a long sword woven from searing white flames rapidly condensed in his hand.

The figure of "Siso" in his eyes then revealed many colors, among which the most inconspicuous pale white was located on the side of the bridge of the nose.

"Weakness Detection"!

Pale white represents the location of the weakness.

Lu Mian raised the flame longsword, held it with both hands, and stabbed downward, poof, sinking into the pale white color.

The demon-armor-like shell, the elastic flesh, and the steel-like bones brought by the "Living Corpse" only resisted for a second before being pierced.

Lu Mian pulled up the searing white flame longsword and stabbed down heavily again.

Poof!

This time it penetrated deeper.

Lu Mian pulled out the searing white flame longsword once again, jumped up, and let the downward stab carry his own body weight.

Poof!

Lu Mian half-squatted down, and the flame longsword completely sank into "Siso's" brain, turning into scattered firelight that destroyed everything weak.

Lu Mian withdrew his hands and stood up.

"Siso's" body, which showed signs of partial demonization, twitched a few times and returned to calm.

Beside his nose bridge, a two-finger-wide wound was exceptionally ferocious, the surface charred and shrunken, with flames surging inside.

This Demon had lost his life.

Really hard, to be able to withstand three hits like this... Lu Mian looked at "Siso's" corpse and sighed silently.

Just at this moment, "Siso's" corpse rapidly became transparent, and the light brown skin color gradually turned pale.

Wraith... turning into a true Wraith after death? Lu Mian had just flashed these two thoughts when the surroundings suddenly became dark.

Deep in the darkness, a chant full of tranquility rang out, making people's bodies and minds become relaxed, unwilling to do anything, just wanting to lie down quietly.

The destination of all things is peace.

"Siso's" rapidly wraith-ifying body gradually stopped changing and slowly regained a sense of substance.

Finally, he died completely.

Really hard to kill... If I hadn't stopped him from turning into a Wraith, could he have continued to exist in the state of a true Wraith and later turned into an evil spirit? Lu Mian looked at "Madame Lady Lady Hai La" to the side and said again:

"Thank you."

He didn't talk about his conversation with "Siso" because they were communicating in the dream created by "Madame Lady Lady Hai La," and "Madame Lady Lady Hai La" must have known everything.

"Only 'Loki' is left." "Madame Lady Lady Hai La" looked at "Siso's" corpse and said coldly.

Lu Mian fell silent for a few seconds and said:

"He can't be resurrected many more times."

"At most one more time." "Madame Lady Lady Hai La" said in a relatively certain tone.

One more time, huh... Lu Mian said "Hmm."

Not long after, "Siso's" Beyonder characteristic was extracted and combined with the remaining goat horns on his head, turning into a cluster of wantonly arrogant black crystal clusters.

The different crystals of that cluster stretched in all directions, baring fangs and brandishing claws, and inside each black crystal were multiple illusory and transparent faces protruding, their expressions either ferocious, painful, crazy, or confused.

A "Desire Apostle" Beyonder characteristic polluted by the "Wraith" Gift? Lu Mian felt that this pollution was heavier and more dangerous than the previous "Serial Killer" Beyonder characteristic.

He pointed to the Beyonder characteristic and "Siso's" corpse and said to "Madame Lady Lady Hai La":

"I'll take them all away?"

"Okay." "Madame Lady Lady Hai La" had no objections.

…………

Port Pilos, inside an old warehouse at an abandoned wharf.

Franca, Anthony, and Jenna had already met up, waiting for Lu Mian to return.

In the casual chat, they saw a figure outlined in the sunlight shining in from a high window; it was Lu Mian, wearing a golden straw hat and dressed as Louis Berry.

Pa.

Lu Mian threw "Siso's" corpse onto the ground.

Immediately after, he took that Beyonder characteristic out of the "Traveler's Bag" and placed it near the corpse, but not touching it.

After finishing these things, he smiled at Franca, Jenna, and Anthony:

"Solved."

"Is it really 'Siso'?" Franca didn't quite believe it would be so easy.

"It's him." Lu Mian simply explained the situation, "He was too confident, feeling that there was a high probability of killing me, and chose to stay and wait for an opportunity."

"Where did he get his confidence?" Franca widened her eyes.

Because everyone present was a Minor Arcana card, Lu Mian didn't hide it and told the story roughly, only skipping the most dangerous knowledge.

"So that's how it is... It's a good thing you didn't ask the 'Tarot Club' for a guide." Jenna felt a lingering fear after hearing it.

Franca sighed with emotion:

"Didn't expect the coordination of us few would be enough."

Lu Mian pointed to the Beyonder characteristic and said:

"This has too much pollution and is very dangerous. I plan to ask Ms. 'Magician' for help to find a suitable 'Artisan' to make it into a sealed artifact so that everyone has the right to use it."

Lu Mian felt that this thing was too evil and the pollution was too heavy; it couldn't be a magical artifact with relatively light negative effects and could only be the kind that needed to be sealed normally.

"That works." Franca imagined the possible abilities of the sealed artifact and was quite looking forward to it.

She suddenly remembered one thing and hurriedly said:

"Your 'Arrogant Armor' is still with me. Tsk, you really played it to the hilt."

Lu Mian laughed:

"To deal with a Demon, how can one be without a 'Warrior'? I wanted to use the 'Arrogant Armor' from the beginning, but didn't expect 'Siso' to choose the restroom, which was the best environment."

A closed, small environment with a certain amount of room to maneuver.

Franca took the "Arrogant Armor" out of the "Traveler's Bag" and placed it on the ground.

Suddenly, the air in the old warehouse solidified.

The silver-white full-body armor faced Lu Mian, condensed a giant sword of light, then knelt on one knee and heavily inserted it into the ground.

This... Lu Mian's pupils dilated, his figure faded abruptly, and he quickly disappeared from where he was.

That giant sword of light split open, turning into a storm that destroyed everything, sweeping through the surroundings and destroying a large number of wooden boxes.

This... Franca, Jenna, and Anthony didn't have time to dodge far and were all shattered into fragments in this "Storm of Light," reflecting light.

"Fuck! This is too vengeful, right? How long has it been!" In the corner of the warehouse, Franca's cursing rang out.

PS: Thanks to the student Zhuriyiran for once again rewarding the Silver Alliance. Today is a normal update, and there will be one in the evening.

PS2: Happy birthday, Klein~
