Chapter 388 before and after comparison
Lumian quickly looked around, only to see a few sporadic gas street lamps and burning crimson flames, crowds of people in the distance, no one dared to approach, and the front part could not open its eyes because of the stimulation of the "sun".
In such a scene, neither the man suspected of "Loki" nor the "passerby" singing an aria could find a trace.
"The sow raised it, so it ran away?" Lumian was anxious and angry, and couldn't help but scold.
This hasn't really been a fight yet, so they ran away?
If you miss a hit, immediately disconnect from contact?
"Zhen, is it a rat? Not only did he slide without stopping, but as soon as the wind blew, he ran so hard that no one could be seen!" As Franka leaned closer to Lumian, she scolded in a strange, abruptly translated word, "The extraordinary of the 'soothsayer' and 'thief' paths are indeed interchangeable adjacent paths, and their styles are too similar, right?"
This is mainly reflected in the fact that if you can't hit the main body, you can't grasp the main character.
The difference is that the "Diviner" path is like this from sequence 7, while the "Thief" path may have to wait until the divine door is opened and you are promoted to sequence 4.
Lumian's mind was spinning, thinking about how to find out the traces of "Loki" and his secret couple.
They may have already left, or they may still be lurking in the evening streets!
"Secret Doll......
"Yes, the secret puppet who sang arias took over my 'hum technique' but was not affected, which means that he is most likely dead and there is no active, awake spirit......
"The experience of almost being transformed into a puppet just now also indirectly confirms this......
"Since the secret partner is the deceased, then he should not have the fate of the living, there is no so-called fortune, even if there is, it will be frozen in a darkness, which represents death......
"If you can't find a 'Loki' with the ability of 'Faceless Man', you can start with his secret puppet!"
Thinking of this, Lumian concentrated his energy and carefully observed the fortunes of those citizens ten or twenty meters away.
He swept over, and everything that had its own destiny and was not pitch black passed directly.
After a quick glance, Lumian did not find the target of the suspected secret puppet.
He sighed slowly, disappointedly.
"Get out of here first, the firefighters who put out the fire are coming soon, and the official extraordinary person should also be on the way." Franka reminded Lumian.
Lumian retracted his gaze and turned away from the chaotic street before the crimson flames went out.
He plans to go around and return to the Golden Rooster Hotel, hand over the defrauded money he wanted from the "different" dance hall to the bankrupt businessman Fitz, and take his own part according to the agreed proportion.
After walking more than a dozen steps, Mr. Ruhl who died of illness and Mrs. Michelle who hanged herself while singing the song of the City of Joy suddenly appeared in her mind.
He was worried that he would bring a disaster involving extraordinary powers to the Golden Rooster Hotel and bring it to the client Fizz.
Aurore has portrayed the kind of very vicious and perverted criminals in two of his novels, who like to kill people who are important to their targets, and let him watch his friends around him die tragically one after another.
As the leader of "April Fool's Day", "Loki" likes to play with other people's minds the most, and has no psychological barrier to harming his comrades, let alone killing innocent people he has never met before, so he has a high probability that he will start with Lumian's acquaintances after the first attack, use their death to defeat the target's spirit, and secretly watch him lose his mind and become crazy, and then use this opportunity to harvest his life.
Although it was only a possibility, Lumian didn't want to take the risk, so he stopped and turned towards Market Avenue.
"What's wrong?" Franka asked suspiciously.
Lumian had initially calmed down and said with a smile:
"Go to the Breeze Ballroom for a drink."
If the gang members you often come into contact with die, you will die, and gangsters must have such a awareness!
Franka was stunned for a moment, roughly understanding Lumian's concerns:
Because he caught a big fish, but failed to catch it, "Loki" obviously had mastered the true appearance of the two, he could hide in the dark all the time, waiting for the right opportunity to come, and Lumian and herself would not give up their current identities and use their anti-divination and anti-tracking abilities to survive in another place, otherwise they would fall into a state of random conjecture when they saw the mice around them and thought it would attack them.
Compared with the mixed Golden Rooster Hotel, the second floor of the Breeze Dance Hall is relatively clean and more conducive to defense.
Moreover, once an extraordinary level battle breaks out, it is better to affect gang members than ordinary people.
"I'll go back and change my clothes too." Franka's subtext is that he will also change his face and hide in the shadows so that "Loki" cannot find him to avoid possible attacks.
Similarly, she will let Jane Na go back and live with her brother for a while to avoid being affected.
In the face of such a strange and terrifying enemy, the survival ability of the "instigator" is still too weak.
Lumian patted Franka's "mirror stand-in" hidden on the inside of the clothes with his right hand, telling the other party to always pay attention to each other's rough conditions.
Franka nodded solemnly, indicating that she knew.
…………
Breeze Ballroom, 2nd floor café.
Lumian sat in the innermost position away from the window and said to his bodyguard Sakota:
"You go to the Golden Rooster Hotel and call a bankrupt businessman named Fizz."
With such a transit, Fitz is more like a goal achieved with the help of the Savoie Party, and with Charles. Dubois has no personal relationship, and if "Loki" really wants to choose a victim, he will definitely choose from the members of the Sava Party affiliated with Lumian.
Lumian stroked the heavy satchel on his lap, waiting for Fitz to arrive, and thought about Loki-related questions.
In the case of losing the trace of the "April Fool's Day" leader, he could only look for clues from some phenomena in this matter.
One of the details is the options that were preset before Lumian acted:
"If you really caught 'Loki', then why could you rely on anti-tracking skills to get rid of this 'April Fool's Day' leader last time, but not this time?"
After Lumian left the "different" dance hall, he deliberately completed the entire anti-tracking process as last time, and changed back to his original appearance, changed his clothes, modified his satchel, and waited until he crossed the old street again and met Franka, but no longer followed him, in order to set up a contrasting sample to find out the differences.
Otherwise, if he failed to successfully catch the weird and hard-to-kill "Loki", wouldn't he have "fished" in vain?
There must be something else!
This is a small trap hidden in a big trap.
"According to normal logic, since my last anti-tracking process was able to get rid of 'Loki', this time should be no exception......
"So, either Franka was targeted early in the morning, or I was recognized by 'Loki' when I finished the anti-tracking and re-crossed the old street.
"Franka did anti-divination, and at a distance from the 'Alone' bar and the 'Different' cabaret, without even entering the old street, using non-occult methods to observe, it is unlikely that it will be exposed soon, unless 'Loki' knew from the beginning that there would be such an observer......
"The most likely thing is that I was recognized when I walked through the old street, but how did he recognize it? Not only did I change back to my original appearance and change my clothes, but I also chose to take a taxi to pass by in order not to be suspected, which, according to Anthony, would prevent people outside from seeing my unchanged leather shoes and hide my habitual walking posture and body language......
"I even sprinkled some perfume to cover up the original smell......
"What are the unchangeable characteristics in me that make 'Loki' recognize me in a short period of time?"
Lumian compared the difference before and after, and gradually had some speculations:
"Either the 'Master of the Secret Puppet' or one of his secret puppets can directly identify a person from the level of soul, consciousness, etc., or 'Loki' can discover the characteristics of me that are different from others, the angel of fate, the seal of Mr. 'The Fool', or the aura of the 'Blood Emperor'?
"Although 'lie' is also a 'soothsayer' path, the sequence level corresponding to 'Loki' does not have an obvious and intuitively perceptible cohesion ......"
The more Lumian thought about it, the more he felt that the reason was that "Loki" had a way to see through his disguise, but his tracking ability was limited, and he would be thrown away by targets who were wary of strangers, animals, birds, and insects and could not directly divine.
No matter how "Loki" sees through it, this is the one reason that best explains the comparison of the situation before and after.
For this reason, Lumian had a new idea.
He glanced at the already dark night sky, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
After another quarter of an hour, Fitz, a bankrupt businessman, was taken inside the café by Sakota.
Lumian motioned for Sakota to leave here temporarily, and then said to Fizz:
"The money has been returned, how much do you think you can share?"
As he said, he poured the banknotes, gold and jewelry on the table, glanced at it a few times and said:
"There are about 130,000 Felkin in total."
Fitz blurted out:
"6, no, 5, no, just give me 3 Felkin."
Lumian smiled, pulled out a few stacks of tied bills, and threw them to Fizz:
"According to the previous agreement, the interest will belong to me, and I will take 50% of the principal.
"This is 5 Felkin."
Fitz took it in surprise and thanked him again and again.
Although he did not get the full amount, 5 thousand Felkin was enough for him to start a new and hopeful life.
The return of 50% of the principal plus interest is too worthwhile!
Lumian also felt happy, and with the action of the "Angel of Time" next to Mr. "The Fool", he easily earned 5 felgold bills plus 3 gold worth of gold.
You know, he worked so hard to raise gold before, but in the end it was only 7.5 thousand.
He seriously considered whether to buy some offerings from the corresponding field to thank Mr. "Fool" and the "Angel of Time".
After waiting for more than half an hour, Lumian entered the bedroom, also on the second floor, threw off his satchel, and used "lies" to change his appearance again, like the black-haired and brown-eyed version of Aurore, who was male-oriented.
He changed into a shirt, vest, trousers and leather boots, took off the "lie", turned the "torture" gloves into his briefcase, and examined the situation outside the window.
After confirming that there were no humans, rats, or birds, Lumian pushed open the window and jumped lightly, looking like he didn't know that "Loki" could directly see through his disguise.
