Chapter 850

"Harrison?

"He's still in Trier?

"'007,' how come you haven't found him all this time? Is your 'Eternal Blazing Sun' Church even capable at all!"

While Franca's spirits were lifted, feelings of joy and excitement welled up in her heart.

She had even mobilized members of the Tarot Club to keep an eye out for Harrison all over the world, but it turned out the target was still in Trier. Of course, it was also possible he had just returned here not long ago.

While badmouthing the work ability of the "Purifiers," Franca also tasted a hint of abnormality from this matter.

She lowered her voice and said thoughtfully:

"Recently, Jasmine appeared in underground Trier twice, and both times people encountered Harrison nearby. This shouldn't be a coincidence.

"Is Harrison cooperating with the 'Mirror People'?"

Anthony ate the last cream circle cookie and took a sip of coffee:

"This can actually be deduced.

"Mr. 'Hanged Man' once said that Harrison is very likely to appear in places closely related to powers like death, darkness, twilight, and decay, just like the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' deep in the fourth layer of the underground catacombs. And according to the information we currently have, the appearance of the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' originates from the 'War of the Four Emperors' and the Fourth Epoch Trier.

"Therefore, Harrison has the motive to open the seal and enter the Fourth Epoch Trier, which is consistent with the goals of the 'Mirror People.' Although it's unclear how they got in touch, don't forget that the 'Mirror People' have deep cooperation with those 'Brokers'."

"Those 'Brokers' are more annoying than buzzing flies." Franca sighed from the bottom of her heart.

She turned to Anthony and said:

"You go ahead and busy yourself with your own affairs. I'll go find Jenna and Lu Mian to discuss how to use this matter to find Harrison."

"Alright." Anthony had already done the best intelligence gathering work he could.

After saying goodbye to Anthony, Franca went straight back to Orosay Street.

She didn't want to expose Lu Mian's current residence and planned to use the method of summoning a messenger to have the two companions come over themselves.

"Summoning Xia Zuotu first, what reward should I give it this time? Can't let Jenna play it by ear; I always feel she's cultivating Xia Zuotu in a very dangerous direction..." Franca thought for a few seconds and cast her gaze toward the coffee table.

A book was placed there—Forswall's *Great Adventurer* series had finally released its sixth volume after being delayed for several months!

The title of this volume was *Great Adventurer 6: The Future*.

Franca had just bought it yesterday and hadn't read it yet, only flipping through the afterword, seeing the great writer Forswall say she originally wanted to name this volume "Admiral of Stars" or "Biologist," but ultimately, based on a sudden inspiration, she gave up those two ideas.

Soon, Franca summoned Xia Zuotu.

Behind this coolly dressed "Knowledge Rabbit," a cowering rabbit-shaped spirit body wearing boxing gloves was vaguely revealed in the void.

*Tsk*, doing an imitation, huh? Franca smiled and handed the letter paper and *Great Adventurer 6* to Xia Zuotu, and instructed:

"Remember to return it after you finish reading."

It wasn't that she couldn't bear to part with the book, but only by borrowing and returning could she build a good relationship with Xia Zuotu. Perhaps later she could have the other party introduce special "talent" in the "Knowledge Rabbit" clan who could also serve as messengers.

Xia Zuotu's eyes lit up:

"No problem!"

After sending Xia Zuotu away, Franca summoned the "Penitent" Bayonfer.

After completing these two things, she lay on the recliner and pondered what to do next:

"Have to notify '007' in the telegram group tonight...

"Should I try to contact the 'Professor' and the others, mobilize the power of the 'Reader' group, and search for Harrison together?

"Sigh, now it's just confirmed that Harrison is in Trier, but there's a lack of substantial clues to track. Even if I wanted to go all out, there's no opportunity...

"Can't just go wander around underground Trier every day, waiting for a rabbit to hit a tree, right?

"'Mirror Divination' can't get an answer...

"Mm, have to report this matter up quickly. Mr. 'Hanged Man' and the other Great Cards of Tarot are also looking for Harrison themselves..."

Franca sat up with a *swish* and continued to be busy.

During this process, she also thought about her own affairs:

"If I still can't find him, my 'Pain' potion will have to digest some more...

"Mm, after dealing with the 'Mirror Person' Nikila, I digested a little bit myself. The first rule of the 'Pain Demoness' acting code is still quite easy to summarize:

"Bring pain to the target, not just physically, but also mentally.

"The second acting rule should be closely related to the self. Is pain the background color of a 'Demoness'?

"Strive to summarize all acting rules as soon as possible, digest the potion as soon as possible. Lu Mian is already preparing for the ritual to advance to Sequence 4 'Iron-Blooded Knight'; I can't let him leave me too far behind..."

Just as she thought of this, Franca felt the wind at the open window seem to go still for a second.

Then, Jenna's figure quickly took shape.

This newly promoted "Pleasure Demoness" didn't use makeup techniques to make herself ugly, but only corrected the "direction" of her charm emission—she wore a black dress and robe, covering up her beautiful figure. At the same time, she used cosmetics to make her skin take on a hint of sickly paleness, giving a feeling of not having been exposed to the sun for a long time. Her lips were painted very red, forming a sharp contrast with her skin...

This made Jenna look more like a vampire, with her charm mainly concentrated in the exquisiteness of her appearance and overall aesthetic, rather than sexual attraction.

So it can be like this too... Pretty good, vampire Jenna is also very beautiful... Franca smiled and examined her a few times, until Jenna hesitated for a moment and opened her mouth to ask:

"What important intelligence did you get?"

Franca sat back in the recliner, crossed her legs, and told the Harrison matter in detail.

Jenna, who had already sat down on the single sofa, was not as excited as Franca. After all, she knew too little and couldn't experience that kind of deep and complex emotion.

She thought for a moment and said:

"At this point in time, Harrison is suspected of cooperating with the 'Mirror People'... Does this also belong to a part of the vortex?"

"It's possible." Franca nodded heavily and muttered, "Why hasn't Lu Mian come yet?"

"He went out." Jenna paused and said, "Probably."

Franca blurted out in astonishment:

"How do you know?"

Jenna answered with a smile:

"He told me yesterday that the first step of his domestication of Ludwig is to assign him homework, homework related to gourmet food, which requires Ludwig to take the initiative to go out to complete. Mm... according to your words, it's to make a 'Trier Meat Pie Guide'."

"Is this PUA from shallow to deep..." Franca muttered, "You guys exchanged information about this aspect when you left yesterday? He plans to follow Ludwig?"

"He's afraid Ludwig will aggregate other believers of the 'Devouring Vortex,' and Lugano is only Sequence 7 and can't stop them." Jenna first explained Lu Mian's worry simply, then her eyes flickered and she said, "This should only be one of the reasons."

"Are there other reasons?" Franca smoothed her hair, trying to understand the eight hundred heart-eyes of a "Hunter."

A smile appeared on Jenna's face:

"Yes, although he didn't say it, that's what I think.

"His hidden purpose should be to carry out the activity he loves most:

"Fishing!"

Franca suddenly realized:

"Using Ludwig to fish for other believers of the 'Devouring Vortex'?"

Jenna nodded and added further:

"Judging from the style of Perle, this 'Supervisor,' no matter what plan the 'Brokers' formulate, they will likely use secret trading networks to recruit different forces and different people, maximizing the advantages of their own pathway. Therefore, the believers of the 'Devouring Vortex' and other heretical god believers have a not-so-small possibility of being pulled onto the boat of the vortex plan by them.

"If we can catch higher-level believers of the 'Devouring Vortex,' perhaps it can help us further understand the situation of the vortex matter and discover the key points within it."

Franca made a *hiss* sound inwardly:

"This is Lu Mian's style. On the surface, he's training Ludwig, but in reality, he's fishing for heretical god believers and tracking the vortex matter. The most infuriating thing is that his surface purpose is indeed very true and very important!"

After sighing, Franca looked at Jenna and praised with a smile:

"You're getting smarter and smarter!"

"Damn, you suddenly praise me like this, I don't know whether to accept it calmly or be humble. If it were Lu Mian, he would definitely say 'You barely caught up to my train of thought'." Jenna imitated Lu Mian's tone in the second half of the sentence.

Franca weighed it for a moment, and the corners of her mouth curled up bit by bit:

"Fishing is indeed a good method.

"We can use the same line of thinking to find Harrison.

"Harrison has a deep understanding and very evil application of death, and is also looking for scenes closely related to powers like death, darkness, and twilight. Does this mean he can be aggregated by Beyonders of these few pathways?

"This can be aggregation from high-ranking beings, and it should also be aggregation of certain special characteristics. For example, the 'Underworld Taoist' seal on Lu Mian, for example, the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring.' Mm, Amandina's power comes from the direct bestowal of the 'Underworld Taoist,' and the 'Underworld Taoist' seems to possess powers like death, darkness, and twilight at the same time. Perhaps Amandina can also aggregate Harrison..."

Speaking of this, Franca's eyes became unusually bright:

"I choose all of them!

"Once Lu Mian's state stabilizes, let him take Amandina to the 'Samaritan Woman's Spring' to see the 'Underworld Taoist.' We'll ambush nearby and see if Harrison will be aggregated over!"

Republic District, Richelieu Street.

Lu Mian, standing in the shadows by the street, rubbed his nose, feeling as if the scent of something alluring still lingered on his nose.

After becoming an "Ascetic," the emotions and desires he had accumulated were finally vented to a large extent with the help of last night's events, making his state quite good.

But his mood was very heavy. This came both from his own entanglement and guilt, and also from his worry about the feelings of others.

True "Pleasure" is indeed something that makes one want to indulge—mm, just want to, but it really does bring pain... Damn, go back and mock Jenna fiercely to vent this emotion... Lu Mian slowly let out a breath and cast his gaze toward Ludwig, who was tasting red fish and hot beef pie not far away.
