Chapter 180 Missionary (Half of the Last Day Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Before boarding the public carriage, Lumian deliberately spent 6 ricks to buy a psychic magazine to make it look like he was going to a party of occult lovers at 19 Scheer Street.
He was worried that he would enter the Sava Party boss Gardner. After Martin's sight, he would be secretly followed for a period of time to confirm whether there was a problem.
While he could take some anti-stalking tactics to try to get rid of the stalking that might be there, wouldn't that be more suspicious?
In contrast, a country kid who has just arrived in Trier and has stepped into the transcendent path by chance is eager for more occult knowledge, so he buys magazines such as "Psychics" and occasionally attends various occult enthusiast gatherings published above, which is a more convincing story.
In essence, this is indeed true.
The only thing that was problematic was that the organizer of that occult enthusiast gathering was Mr. K, and there was a secret organization behind it.
Gardner. Martin's people really investigated this point, so they asked them to fight with Mr. K to see who was better!
As the prank king of Kordu Village, Lumian has always loved to watch the fun.
At that time, he will adjust his choice according to the outcome of the battle, anyway, the general direction will not change, that is, follow the instructions of the "magician" lady and infiltrate the secret organization behind Mr. K.
On the moving carriage, Lumian flipped through the "Psychic" magazine in his hand.
The theme of this issue is "Secret Covenant".
Different from Lumian's instinctive cognition, the "contract" of the secret contract does not represent a "contract", but a "fit", which is to make one's spirit fit with a specific hidden existence little by little in a certain way, obtain corresponding spiritual experience, and obtain a certain amount of occult knowledge.
"Psychic" magazine emphasizes in the "editor's note" of many articles that this is a very dangerous behavior, unless it can be determined that the person of the secret contract can be trusted and not malicious, it is not recommended to try, which will bring very bad and very serious consequences, including but not limited to suffering from mental illness, being possessed by evil spirits, losing reason, dying on the spot, personality changes, etc.
"So that's how it is......" Lumian instantly understood something in Aurore's sorcery notes.
He originally learned those paragraphs from the perspective of "contract", but he couldn't understand them, but now after changing his mind, he probably understood what he was talking about.
Lumian looked down at the "Psychic" magazine in his hand and said two praises in his heart:
"It was more useful than I thought, and I thought it was all made up to coax occult lovers.
"Well, although there are many common sense errors, unlike those written by people who have actually entered the transcendent world and done a lot of research, the explanation of some concepts is quite high, very close to the correct answer, and some of them can even inspire me......"
In the midst of the praise, he muttered:
"Judging from the underground area where Mr. K lives in the headquarters building of "Psychic" magazine, there are really extraordinary people among the editorial departments and contributors of these occult magazines, right?
"They first write a correct article and then deliberately correct many concepts and common sense in it?"
In the blink of an eye, Lumian secretly "hissed":
"From this point of view, the combination of this article and the editor's note is not teaching the correct secret contraction ritual, but warning and warning some people who try the secret contract indiscriminately!
"No, it is not necessarily random, but more likely to be deliberately guided by some malicious people......
"There have been several accidents involving secret contracts?"
At this moment, Lumian looked at the "Psychic" magazine in his hand and no longer paid attention to specific words.
He even felt that it was full of warnings written in bloody text:
"Stop! Don't hold any more secret ceremonies!"
The world of occultism is really full of dangers...... Lu Mian closed his eyes and sighed sincerely.
The longer he stayed in the field of occultism, the more he could understand his sister's helplessness and struggle.
He closed the Rick's "Psychic," which was two Rick's cheaper than normal magazines, and looked out the carriage window.
After arriving at Scheer Street in the Boulevard District, Lumian did a counter-tracking as usual to show the instinct of a "hunter".
Then, he entered the headquarters of "Psychic" magazine and knocked on the door of room 103 in a rhythm of three long, two short and one long.
Just like last time, he was led to the basement and met Mr. K.
Mr. K was still wearing a black robe with a huge hood, and his face was completely covered by shadows.
Sitting in the red back chair, he stared at Lumian for a few seconds, and said in a low voice:
"What's the matter this time?"
"Mr. K, I have completed the task you gave me and become the leader of the Sava Party in the Market Area, responsible for managing the Breeze Ballroom and the Golden Rooster Hotel." Lumian said with a smile.
Mr. K nodded slightly:
"Very good, I also like the way you do things.
"The next thing you need to do is get Gardner. Martin's trust makes him truly recognize you."
This time, Mr. K no longer mentioned the words "reward" and "mission" and gave orders bluntly, seemingly considering Lumian as his subordinate.
Gain the trust of the boss? Lumian was stunned for a moment, and then strong doubts and uneasiness emerged:
He remembers very clearly that Mr. K did not specify that he would join the Sava Party when he gave the task, but used "arbitrary" to embellish the gangster!
But now, the follow-up is truly recognized by the boss of the Sava Party!
"If I hadn't chosen Baron Brignel in the first place, but had chosen another gangster, what kind of task would Mr. K give today?
"Or is he very sure that I will join the Savoyard Party?
"Why is he sure?"
One by one, thoughts flashed in Lumian's mind, reminding him of some recent events:
"I just killed the pervert and got the bottle of drug, and Baron Brignel asked me to deal with the leader of the Stinger Gang and make that item come in handy......
"Isn't this too coincidental?
"There are other things like this......
"I occasionally feel like someone is staring at me in the shadows around me, but I don't notice anything......
"Could it be that Mr. K arranged all this?
"If I hadn't voted for the Sava Party, I would have been 'arranged' to join the Sava Party after several incidents?"
The more Lumian thought about it, the more creepy it became.
When he looked at Mr. K again, he lost the mentality of treating the other party as a wool gatherer.
Except for a few people such as Ms. "Magician", this may be the strongest extraordinary person he has ever encountered!
Let him do things according to the other person's mind without realizing it!
In the blink of an eye, Lumian lowered his head and said:
"Yes, Mr. K."
He posed as a subordinate.
At the same time, he thought of Franca "Red Boots".
This member of the secret organization "Curly Baboon Research Society" has both background and strength, but he wants to mix in a gang and be the boss's mistress, obviously for another purpose.
Her goal was also to get close to Gardner. Martin? This person was involved in something very important, or involved in a very important secret? Lumian tried to guess.
Mr. K nodded in satisfaction:
"I'm glad you recognize your position, don't worry, I never skimp on rewards.
"Have you not been to any church to pray recently?"
He changed the subject.
"I am a wanted criminal!" Lumian remembered the "magician" lady's advice and said resentfully, "Moreover, those gods will not save us at all!"
Mr. K chuckled:
"It's not that they won't, but they can't, their power can't reach all believers and help everyone in the disaster they encounter.
"There are many reasons for this, but there is only one after summarizing:
"Weakness is the original sin.
"Are you interested in learning about the Lord of my faith? He represents the reality of this world, He is Supreme, He is like the sea, He creates everything, He destroys everything, He is the power itself, and we are ourselves."
Seeing that Lumian was silent for a while, Mr. K did not force:
"You don't need to answer me right now, think about it during this time, think about who can save us, who can provide us with shelter in this increasingly dangerous and crazy world.
"When you are sure to believe in Him, you will truly become one of us, and it won't be long before your strength will be greatly improved."
"I'll think about it." Lumian replied in a low voice.
Mr. K asked instead:
"Do you have anything else?"
Lumian, who had adjusted his mentality, said with the idea of asking without losing anything:
"In the process of completing the task, if I encounter danger, can I use your finger, and how should I use it?"
Mr. K nodded and said:
"You can just take it out."
The implication is that it can be used.
"If I use it, how will I face Suzanne in the future. Matisse's threat?" Lumian asked further.
Mr. K was silent for a few seconds:
"After using that finger, you come here to find me, and I'll give you another one."
Your fingers are really consumables...... Lumian thought for a moment and then said:
"I sold the extraordinary characteristics of 'Hammer' Aite to Gardner. Martin, I got 1.8 Felkin, I want to buy a seal that increases my occult methods, or the kind that can help me better disguise, I don't know if you have it here, Mr. K?"
Mr. K did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking about a suitable choice.
After a while, he said to Lumian:
"Next Thursday night, you come here to choose."
Lumian smiled:
"Thank you, Mr. K."
It feels really good to be backed by an organization, even if it's just an informal member.
…………
Back in the Honest Market area, Lumian first placed Mr. K's finger in room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel, and then went to the Breeze Ballroom, intending to find a clean room there, summon Ms. "Magician"'s messenger, and report the progress of the mission to her to see if she would provide some useful feedback, such as how Mr. K made those things happen in a more coincidental way.
