Chapter 738: Night

Memorial Hall District, in an empty house.

Angouleme de Francois, wearing a lion headgear, stood by the window, staring at the coal gas street lamps below, waiting patiently.

After the "lost contact" incident, he and "Sleeve Sword" changed their emergency contact method, striving to be able to contact each other quickly even if the telegram group could not play a role and without relying on the help of "Hela" lady's messenger.

Early yesterday morning, after finishing the handling of the Mo Lan Avini-related case, he immediately tried to find "Sleeve Sword."

Finally, "Sleeve Sword" Fu Lan Ka, wearing her assassin suit, walked out of the shadows.

Angouleme didn't exchange pleasantries and asked directly:

"Was it you who took Mo Lan Avini away?"

"Otherwise?" Fu Lan Ka asked back with a smile.

Although the vortex matter mentioned by the "Supervisor" Peierle was like a sharp sword hanging over her head, making Fu Lan Ka not relax just because Mo Lan Avini was already dead and she had obtained enough information, she wouldn't lose her mood and become heavy and impatient because of this.

Such things that sounded very serious naturally had the Great Arcana cards to worry about. They only needed to complete the corresponding tasks according to the instructions, and worrying was useless.

Moreover, the information harvested this time was very important and valuable enough. Whether it was the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church or the Witch Sect, they must have some expression!

Fu Lan Ka was very much looking forward to this.

"It really was you..." Angouleme couldn't help but sigh.

"Sleeve Sword" and the people in her team had strong execution power. They said they were going to deal with a minister of a country, and after not long, they really took action, and they succeeded.

Fu Lan Ka helped Lu Mi cover up a sentence simply:

"We were originally waiting for Mo Lan Avini to walk into that mirror himself, who knew that the 'Aurora Society' people suddenly came to assassinate him, forcing him to step into our trap in advance."

Combining the situation at the scene at that time, Angouleme nodded lightly:

"So it was a coincidence..."

This coincided with many details confirmed by the "Purifiers" at present.

Angouleme asked instead:

"What about Mo Lan Avini?"

"Dead." Fu Lan Ka "tsk"ed and said, "He is indeed a 'Mirror Person,' and he confessed a lot of very important information."

"What information?" Angouleme pursued.

Fu Lan Ka gave a "hehe" laugh, raised her right hand, and rubbed her thumb and index finger gently:

"What about my informant fee?"

Angouleme said angrily and amusedly:

"Don't forget, I also made a lot of contributions to the action against Mo Lan Avini. Even if I can't share the spoils, it should be no problem to listen to the information, right?"

Fu Lan Ka, who had always claimed to be fair in "distributing equipment," cleared her throat awkwardly:

"Just a joke, just a joke.

"However, that information is indeed very important. Your superior will definitely reward you. Don't forget to help me ask for the informant fee!"

"You speak first." Angouleme responded in a deep voice.

He wasn't stingy with the informant fee, but "Sleeve Sword" emphasized the importance of that information twice, making him a little anxious to know.

Fu Lan Ka hid the details related to the "Tarot Club" and the "Aurora Society," starting from catching Ye Busi, and told all the way to the appearance of the "Supervisor" Peierle's person in the painting and Lu Mi's speculation on the whole thing.

Angouleme was relatively calm at first. The problems of "Mirror People" could barely be considered within the scope of the "Purifiers"' guesses and deductions, but when Mo Lan Avini was tricked into confessing that the leader of the "Mirror People" was the Roselle Gustav in the mirror, he felt his head buzzing, and this continued without interruption, getting louder and louder.

How could "Sleeve Sword" and the others always encounter major events of this level?

How long had the "Hostel" incident passed, and here came another "vortex"?

By the time Fu Lan Ka finished speaking, Angouleme couldn't help but raise his right hand and pinch his swelling forehead blocked by the lion headgear, his mood so complex that he couldn't say a word.

"How is it? The vortex plan, the information about 'Mirror People' and hidden traitors are all very important, right?" Fu Lan Ka asked with a bit of pride.

Seeing Angouleme's gaze heavy, his mouth moving slightly, as if he had ground his teeth, Fu Lan Ka added reflexively:

"Don't blame me!

"It's not that we brought these problems, but that Trier itself is special, causing various problems to emerge one after another. We are also victims!"

Angouleme exhaled slowly:

"I, tonight, will submit this information.

"I won't forget to convey her request to my informant. What do you want?"

When saying the word "tonight," Angouleme's emotions fluctuated, and he paused for a second.

He had just finished his work today an hour ago and left the Saint-Jianna Church. Now, he had to go back!

"I am a secret agent '007', not a corporate slave who works from zero to zero every day, seven days a week!" Angouleme cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he remained calm, reliable, and emotionally stable.

Fu Lan Ka thought seriously for a while and said:

"All materials for the 'Pleasure' potion."

She had thought about it. Her "Pain" potion could be rewarded by the Witch Sect, but Jianna's couldn't, and could only rely on the official.

"Aren't you already 'Pleasure'?" Angouleme muttered, gave up asking, and nodded, "I will help you fight for it."

He didn't ask who "Sleeve Sword" was preparing the "Pleasure" potion for, just as he didn't ask why "Sleeve Sword" and her companions could survive in front of a demigod's person in the painting.

After getting the promise of "007," Fu Lan Ka felt a burst of joy in her heart:

Selling information from the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church as a reward, from the Witch Sect as a reward, and "Judgment" lady should also give it... I can now understand the happiness of Lu Mi receiving rewards three times for one task!

Angouleme rubbed his forehead again and said to himself:

"It's not that there are several cardinals of the 'Sun' pathway, there are even more among the diocesan bishops. I really don't know what will be found out next. I only hope the scope of influence won't be too large."

He was talking about the core members of the "April Fool's Day" within the "Eternal Blazing Sun" Church. With a clear direction, even if the other party was doing certain things through "Brokers," it was not difficult to find out.

Without waiting for Fu Lan Ka to respond, Angouleme thought for a while and said:

"The transaction of that humanoid sealed item has been approved. You can inform the method of transaction at any time."

"Finally approved..." After Fu Lan Ka slandered the long process full of bureaucracy, she asked with curiosity, "What is the story of that humanoid sealed item?"

At the Sea Prayer Ceremony, she had seen that humanoid sealed item and knew her strength and her abnormality.

Angouleme shook his head:

"I am not qualified to see that file. I only know that she used to be a demigod of the 'Spectator' pathway, probably at the Sequence 4 level, and then suddenly went crazy, but it's not certain whether she went crazy before being infected by the evil god's pollution, or if it was because of the evil god's pollution that led to madness."

"It should be the latter possibility." Fu Lan Ka thought and said, "Don't Beyonders of the 'Spectator' pathway all have stable emotions and are difficult to lose control?"

Angouleme denied Fu Lan Ka's statement:

"In my cognition, Spectators generally don't have problems, but once they do, it's very troublesome."

"Also." Fu Lan Ka thought of "I have a friend."

After chatting for a few more sentences, Angouleme bid farewell to "Sleeve Sword" and left the empty house.

When leaving the door, he quickly went through the information he had just obtained in his mind, and then sighed in his heart with a heavy mood:

"Are there too many mystical events in Trier?"

Market District, Jianna seized the time to complete another "Witch" performance.

She wore a black cloak, wore dark-colored clothes, walked in the shadows by the street, while looking for new performance opportunities, while thinking about more directions for performance:

"Can't equate 'Witch' with doing bad things. Evil things, dark things don't equal bad things...

"In the various witch legends I have collected so far, a large part of the space is talking about witches showing magic, using evil and dark abilities to help others achieve their wishes, to seduce people to fall...

"There should be deeds left by witches when they play 'Witches' in these legends, which can be considered for imitation, and seducing people to fall is also a deepening of 'Instigator,' and the performance of 'Pleasure' will also make the target fall...

"Hmm, evil and dark magical power, seducing people to fall, falling brings disaster..."

Jianna's train of thought gradually became clear.

Thinking about it, she turned into the chaotic street, intending to find an opportunity to play a "Witch" on this most restless street.

Just after walking a few steps, Jianna suddenly heard someone singing loudly hysterically:

"Trier covered in gold,

"Parties that last until dawn;

"Roasted chicken dripping with fat,

"Cakes like castles;

"Waiters in bow ties shuttle between guests,

"Stepping on cheerful dance steps.

"My beloved, is among them,

"Is among them.

"This is the city of joy, this is the eternal Trier!"

This voice... Jianna raised her head in the shadows, looked at the Golden Chicken Hotel, and saw Lu Mi wearing a brown thick jacket sitting on the windowsill on the third floor, holding a glass bottle containing green liquid in his hand.

Didn't he go to the "Aurora Society" and hadn't come back? Jianna frowned slightly and left the shadows.

Lu Mi also saw her, smiled, jumped down from the third floor, and landed steadily in front of her.

"Why are you here?" Jianna asked with concern.

Lu Mi laughed indifferently:

"Suddenly thought of this place, came back to drink some wine."

Feeling the strange excitement on Lu Mi, Jianna asked after deliberation:

"Did something happen?"

"No." Lu Mi denied without hesitation and emphasized again, "I'm fine."

He carried the bottled absinthe and walked toward the exit of the chaotic street. Jianna followed behind him on the side, didn't ask again, and just followed quietly like that.

Under the illumination of the crimson moonlight and sporadic coal gas street lamps, Lu Mi, who had been silent for a while, suddenly declared with a smile:

"I'm going to start blaspheming God.

"No, it has already started."

He didn't turn around and kept walking forward.

"Haven't you always been blaspheming God?" Jianna cautiously used Lu Mi's usual self-deprecation to test.

Lu Mi still looked at the darkness ahead, answering with a clear smile:

"This time is different."

He quickened his pace and didn't mention this matter again.

Jianna looked at Lu Mi's leather boots stained with a lot of mud, and then looked at the surrounding environment, which was dirty and messy but had no wet soil, bit her lip, and didn't ask further.

Lu Mi kept walking, humming a few lines from time to time, chatting with Jianna from time to time, making jokes, with a clear smile on his face all the time.

He walked all the way back to the apartment he rented and entered that room of his.

Jianna stopped quietly in the living room, watching Lu Mi close the wooden door of the bedroom.

In the dark room with only a little crimson moonlight shining in, Lu Mi sat at the desk and spread out the letter paper, picking up the fountain pen.

He didn't light the coal gas wall lamp, nor did he create a scorching white fire group. Surrounded by pitch-black, he put down the fountain pen with the help of the faint light.

In the rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper, the smile on Lu Mi's face disappeared quickly, and the wrist holding the pen became slower and slower.

Finally, he wrote that unusually short letter:

"Respected 'Magician' lady:

"I want to see you."

ps: Which roles need to be added to the character list, everyone speak up, I'm afraid of omissions, I'll organize them uniformly in the evening.
