Chapter 820: Incitement (Thanks to Mr

~10 min read 1,936 words

Don't regret today's choice... Lu Mian watched Zhu Li's back turn into her room, and could roughly guess what she meant by that sentence just now:

Failed to kill Wanake today, just wait to regret it!

"Zhu Li values Wanake so much... Does she think he will affect the final result of the underground mausoleum operation?" Lu Mian muttered silently, closed the door, and sat back at the desk.

He could actually understand Zhu Li's emphasis on Wanake. This most dangerous person in Morora just showed his specialty in using Morora's weather conditions, creating a hurricane that could blow away the fog of war in the entire block like a real, powerful demigod. And according to Lu Mian's subsequent observations, Wanake seemed to have brought down a terrifying lightning strike.

Although Lu Mian was not yet sure whether such a performance had limitations, whether it relied on the current weather, and could only guide it to change to similar weather, unable to make heavy rain fall from a clear sky, but even with such limitations, the previous performance was enough to prove that Wanake was really equivalent to a demigod to some extent.

Most importantly, based on Lu Mian's understanding of the "0-01" seal data, if Wanake really surrendered to "0-01," there should be some specialties that hadn't been shown yet.

"I remember the night Wanake was raided by Albus and Gusin, the weather was quite clear, but tonight it was very gloomy, suitable for wind, rain, thunder, and lightning..." Lu Mian held a book borrowed from the Church of Knowledge, but didn't read it as focused as before, instead seriously thinking about the details hidden in Wanake's previous performances.

After a while, Lu Mian sneered at Zhu Li silently.

In the eyes of this "Witch," tonight was indeed the best opportunity to hunt Wanake—Wanake himself was seriously injured and not yet healed, the tin soldier had strength close to a demigod and could take responsibility for frontal combat, Gusin had a terrifying mutation and had various unknown abilities, plus Zhu Li, a "Pain Witch" with special items, and Lu Mian himself, there was indeed a great hope of leaving Wanake in those ruins forever.

But the problem was, if Lu Mian didn't "teleport" away, he might become the primary attack target of Gusin and the tin soldier. At that time, Zhu Li would likely think this was an excellent opportunity to kill the boss, thereby choosing to cooperate with Wanake and assist Gusin and the tin soldier.

"And do you really think I'm stupid? If I really killed Wanake, with Medici suffering heavy injuries and Gusin and the tin soldier destined to be cleaned up by the law enforcement team or the Church of Knowledge, wouldn't you 'Witches' be the only ones left? At that time, facing your coercion or attack, I wouldn't even be able to find temporary collaborators... Let's talk about this kind of thing that will lead to a great change in the situation after I finish reading the remaining books..." Lu Mian muttered and adjusted the scorching white fireball on his head, not letting the shadow of his head project onto the paper, affecting the subsequent reading.

After confirming the whereabouts of the "Abscessed Hand" head, he could focus more on his studies.

Before that, he also thought about what Albus Medici and Zhu Li wanted to achieve in Morora.

They, who had the support of gods or kings of angels behind them, shouldn't just want to leave a mark on this terrifying sealed item "0-01."

"Internal and external linkage, directly snatching '0-01'? The Church of Knowledge is one of the seven Orthodox Churches after all, it shouldn't be so simple to have the most important '0' level sealed item taken away, unless they wanted to let water in themselves...

"Relying solely on violent means is likely not going to work, otherwise the 'Primordial Witch' and that 'Red Angel' would have made a move long ago...

"Need to make '0-01' undergo some kind of change?

"Also, I already have some clues about how to get close to '0-01,' but I have no idea how to leave a mark and get friendly treatment... Could it be related to the residual aura of Alistair Tudor?

"Or, is it related to one of my previous speculations?"

Lu Mian stopped thinking and read for nearly another hour before lying on the bed, preparing to sleep.

In Morora, he had always slept very lightly, always guarding against possible raids and the "disease" of the "Witch" next door.

Once symptoms such as fever and cough appeared, he would wake up immediately and "teleport" to the Church of Knowledge to check his physical condition!

If it weren't for the fact that not sleeping for many days would always accumulate some negative effects, he would want to rely on the specialty of automatically eliminating fatigue and restoring spirituality at 6:00 AM every day to stay up all night.

At the same time, this was also a misleading of Zhu Li and others—if they were discovered early that he could maintain enough energy without sleeping, thereby inferring the existence of the change at 6:00 AM, Lu Mian would not be able to use this specialty to refresh his state at a critical moment and reverse the situation.

The next morning, Lu Mian deliberately dragged for more than half an hour on the bed before opening his eyes, brushing his teeth and washing his face, walking down the stairs, and enjoying the breakfast prepared by Lies.

Seven or eight minutes later, Zhu Li walked back from outside the bar.

Went out in the middle of the night again? The "Witch" is really good at hiding movement and whereabouts. It's impossible to track her, and there's no way to know when they leave the room... Lu Mian withdrew his gaze and drank the milk in the cup.

Zhu Li sat on a high stool two positions away from Lu Mian with light steps, without saying a word.

Lies glanced at her face, took out a small cake, and squeezed cream on it.

"Sweets help you improve your mood," this "chef" said simply, pushing the cream cake in front of Zhu Li.

Zhu Li's expression became distorted instantly:

"I don't need to improve my mood! I'm in a good mood!"

Yo, the mood is very bad... When you knocked on my door in the middle of the night, the mood was quite good... What happened when you went out in the middle of the night? Lu Mian looked at Zhu Li a few times without concealment.

Lies said:

"As a chef, one must accurately judge the current state of the ingredients in order to choose the most suitable cooking method."

Zhu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, no longer having half a bit of gentleness.

She seemed to be about to explode and kill at any time.

According to the previous observation results, the only one who could make Zhu Li's state take a turn for the worse and her emotions close to losing control was the other "Witch," Celeste... Did this couple have a conflict? Hmm, my shallow psychological knowledge tells me that Zhu Li seems to be more worried than sad now, and she didn't hide this point... Worried... Lu Mian put his right hand on the "Traveler's Bag," ready for the "Witch" to lose control.

Almost at the same time, he thought of a possibility:

As a member of the law enforcement team and a listed experimental personnel, Celeste must be rotating in the underground mausoleum, or rotating to replace soldier puppets. For Celeste, who still maintained a certain self, this was both an opportunity and a danger!

"Zhu Li went out in the middle of the night to date Celeste, and then learned that the other party was going to enter the underground mausoleum for a period of time, and might become an experimental personnel in the true sense when she came out, the kind without self? No wonder Zhu Li is so worried, her emotions have become very bad..." Lu Mian realized and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Li looked at him with icy eyes.

Lu Mian sighed with a smile:

"It might be fine this time, but what about next time, the time after next?

"If you don't solve the root cause of the problem, one day you will see the ending you don't want to accept."

Zhu Li's eyes flickered, and she turned to stare at the cream cake, not speaking for a long time.

When Lu Mian wiped his mouth clean and prepared to leave, she frowned slightly and said:

"How much do you know?"

Lu Mian returned with a smile:

"Guess.

"Perhaps I don't know anything, it was your expression that told me the answer."

After speaking, Lu Mian walked up the stairs, leaving Zhu Li alone in a daze.

…………

Trier, Boulevard District, 6 Bellafo Avenue.

In the four-story house in the middle of the night, as "Muggle" left, "Periodic Table" and others circled back and reunited with "Professor" and "Associate Professor" couple in the living room.

Looking at the darkness outside the window, "Periodic Table" sighed:

"Is it really okay for us to perform like this in front of 'Muggle'?"

"We didn't deceive her, we just hoped to arouse her sympathy," "Professor" sighed. "The disappearance of the 'Pillar' Kemolo, the situation where Nikila is suspected of being a 'Mirror Person,' and the problem of the 'Hidden Sage' becoming increasingly crazy have put us in a predicament that is difficult to break free from by relying on our own strength. And after 'Muggle' survived the harm of the 'April Fool's Day,' she has become more and more mysterious, and there is clearly a powerful force hidden behind her.

"Fortunately, she is still so kind. Although she might have seen a little abnormality, she still told us that there is residual divine power in the sacrificial plaza of the catacombs, and is willing to clear Nikila."

"Associate Professor" patted his wife's shoulder to comfort her.

He looked around and said:

"Not just for ourselves, but also for the people we value, we must survive."

"Periodic Table" laughed at himself:

"Half a year ago, I never thought there would be such a situation now. How could such a powerful secret organization as the 'Moses Ascetic Order' suddenly become like this?"

…………

The next morning, Franca, who had just finished breakfast, received a reply from Lady "Judgment":

"The action against Nikila of the 'Moses Ascetic Order' can be launched as soon as possible.

"The high-level members of the 'Moses Ascetic Order' already know about Kemolo's disappearance, and another 'Ten Pillars' will come to Trier to handle this matter in the near future, but this will not affect your dealing with Nikila, if he is indeed the 'Mirror Person' Griffiths."

The "Moses Ascetic Order" knows Kemolo is missing? They know this already? Is it because of my report, or did they just discover the abnormality? Hiss, the person our "Tarot Club" has planted in the "Moses Ascetic Order" seems to have a high status, being able to provide information that one of the "Ten Pillars" will come to Trier to handle the problem, and the judgment that it will not affect our dealing with Nikila... Such a firm judgment... Could that "Ten Pillar" be one of our "Tarot Club's" cards? Hmm... Franca fell into deep thought, the more she thought, the more curious she became.

ps: Thanks to Mr. Aurora o for rewarding Mr. K with a silver treasure chest~
