Jane reflexively wanted to turn her head back, fearing that her gaze would be discovered by a psychopath suspected of "I have a friend".
But almost at the same time, she remembered that she was close to Hug. Artois's mentality and performance, so he controlled his neck and slowly and naturally retracted his gaze.
She maintained enough composure, and according to the original rhythm, under the sunlight outside the window, she walked out of the gray-blue building step by step, putting on a light brown straw hat with cloth flowers.
It wasn't until she completely left the Delta Asylum and returned to the street where she met the little boy that Jane breathed a sigh of relief.
Her expression remained unchanged and she boarded the public carriage leading to the market area.
…………
In the evening, 3 White Coat Street, Apartment 601.
Lumian, who was called here by Jane, finished listening to her findings.
Lumian did not hide his astonishment and suspicion:
"Really?
"Are you sure you read it right?"
Isn't this too coincidental?
Jane only saw the portrait of "I have a friend" in the morning, and in the afternoon she found the target in the Delta Asylum, which she had only been to twice so far, and no matter Lumian, Franka, or the Major Arcana and Minor Arcana cards in Trier, they gained nothing!
This coincidence allowed Lumian to smell the scent of intrigue and the sense of arrangement to the point of lacking substantial joy.
"Yes, that's a coincidence...... This is the attitude of Franka before Lumian arrived.
She muttered:
"Although this kind of guy with anti-human tendencies and a good IQ hiding himself in a madhouse is a fairly classic setting, and it can also be in close contact with doctors, it is not so unlucky that it happens to be run into by a visitor who has seen his 'wanted portrait', right? There are no more than fifty people in all of Trier who have seen his 'wanted portrait'!"
This is not counting Anthony. Red and other licensees are the targets of today's inquiry.
"Why don't I know there is such a classic setting......" Jian Na muttered, "But I really met it, and I definitely didn't admit it, perhaps, maybe I've been luckier lately?"
After saying that, she saw that Lumian and Franka's faces were full of disbelief.
Deeply influenced by coincidence, Lumian, who had enough experience, asked thoughtfully:
"You start thinking about it from waking up this morning to see if there are any other coincidences or something different from usual."
Jana, sitting on the single sofa, fell into deep thought.
After nearly a quarter of an hour, she said with a "squeal":
"It's no different from usual!
"Uh, there's something I've never encountered before......"
She ran into a lost little boy, invited him to eat a cup of vanilla-flavored ice cream, and told the police in detail about the police to take care of him, and finally asked a little unconfidently:
"There should be nothing unusual about this, right?"
Franka said to herself:
"That little boy said you would get good luck?"
Lumian pays attention to another detail:
"He said he was brought by a lady who loves to drink?"
"Yes." Jane answered two questions in one word.
Lumian suddenly had an object of suspicion in his heart.
Except for some dancers, there are only two ladies he knows who love to drink, and the others can only be regarded as light tasting and socializing.
That one is Ms. "Hela" and the other is Ms. "Magician".
The former always carries multiple pots of spirits with him, while the latter likes to taste different flavors of alcoholic beverages and can even take out a glass of wine directly from the void to drink.
Since the search for "I have a friend" is a public task of the "Tarot Society" and this matter has not been notified to Ms. "Hela", Lumian cautiously judges that the little boy was brought by Ms. "Magician" to bring Trier.
Combined with Franka's concern for the phrase "get good luck", Lumian thinks that the little boy should have a very special ability to give good luck to others, and Janna, who has received good luck, is naturally lucky to meet "I have a friend".
Seeing that Lumian and Franka were silent and did not speak for dozens of seconds, Jana became more and more apprehensive:
"Is there really a problem with this matter?"
Lumian looked at the companion and said thoughtfully:
"Maybe your luck today is really good enough, starting with you buying ice cream for that little boy."
This kind of trick of giving and gaining is also common in the field of fate, just like the "transfer ceremony", where the target must voluntarily take away the medium, take advantage of what should not be taken, and subjectively have the will to do so in order to complete the transfer.
Therefore, Lumian reasonably suspects that the little boy is an extraordinary person in the "monster" path, that is, the "fate" path, and he made Jane meet "I have a friend" by asking for ice cream and giving good luck.
What "I don't know how to help, I can only wait here", what "treat me to an ice cream and you will get good luck", it is too mysterious in the style of the realm of destiny!
"Yes......" Franka obviously thought of this possibility.
Jane understood at once:
"You mean, that little boy is a very powerful extraordinary person, he gave me enough good luck?
"But except for meeting 'I have a friend', I don't feel anything, I have neither picked up money nor encountered items distributed for free."
"Probably when you meet 'I have a friend' you spend your good luck." Franka sighed for a while.
Lumian stood up on the ground:
"I'll go check it out."
He then walked into Franka's bedroom and closed the door.
"How to confirm?" Jenna asked Franka curiously.
Franka replied speculatively:
"Write a letter."
"To Ms. Hela?" Jane only knew that the lady had a messenger.
"Other ladies." Franka couldn't say clearly.
In her bedroom, Lumian, who had cleaned the altar, quickly received a reply from the "magician" lady:
"So this is how I found out 'I have a friend', as an astrologer, I think this is too magical.
"Don't doubt it, it was indeed a helper we hired, and it cost a lot of favors and a lot of ice cream.
"Now that there is a result, then take action, I will keep an eye on it to help you guard against accidents."
Sure enough...... Lumian had a smile on his face.
From the words of the "magician" lady, he speculated that the little boy was not a member of the "Tarot Society", so he would not participate in public tasks for free, and he would need to spend favors and ice cream.
What the hell is ice cream? Can such a powerful extraordinary person be impressed by ice cream? Lumian first thought it was absurd and funny, and then thought of Baron Brignel's godson, that silly guy was obviously unusual, and he might be bought by food.
This made him wonder if the extraordinary people in the shape of little boys all had such "weaknesses".
Lumian pushed the door open and returned to the living room.
Jian Na got up a little nervously and asked:
"Have you confirmed it?"
"It's a helper who specializes in giving good luck, but he encounters you as fate, and you treat him to ice cream means you have chosen the right tributary of fate." Lumian replied with a sense of magic.
As an extraordinary person with the ability of the Fate Domain, he still has a certain say in fate.
"Huh......" Jane Na breathed a sigh of relief without concealment, she was worried about whether she had fallen into a trap just now.
Seeing that Franka also stood up, Lumian took out the silver-white "lie" ear clip, curled the corners of his mouth and said:
"Let's go to the madhouse now, I can't wait."
"Okay." Franka responded while lamenting in her heart.
Since Ciel came, he really had to fight with people every now and then.
It's only been a few days since the attack of "Loki"!
…………
Go to the four-wheeled four-seater rental carriage in the hot spring area.
Lumian looked at the black street lamp pole outside the window and frowned suddenly.
He said to himself in confusion:
"Did Jane really see 'I have a friend'?"
Franka and Jane looked sideways at him, and at the same time thought of something:
Hunting parish priest Guillaume. When Bennet, they found two stand-ins, and the real Guillaume. Bene is a big dog squatting on the side!
"Do you suspect that it is a stand-in?" Franka asked in a low voice.
After witnessing the wonderful performance of the priest in this parish, if you do not beware of this possibility, it can only show that it is not suitable for the "hunter" and "witch" path.
Lumian whispered thoughtfully:
"With the problem exposed and likely to be hunted, will 'I have a friend' worry about the 'pranks' in the previous months becoming a hidden danger?
"If I were him, since I couldn't erase the corresponding traces, I would have to leave Trier quickly and come back after a while, but he didn't do that.
"This shows that he is either confident enough that we can't find him, or he has something very important to stay in Trier, so it is a good choice to hide himself in the dark and put the stand-in in the light."
"Does he also have 'lies' or what you call 'alternative techniques'?" Jane asked in confusion.
Lumian laughed:
"He may not have a 'lie', but the evil god he believes in is in charge of the 'soothsayer' realm and is one of the most powerful 'faceless men'.
It's like a "Tarot Society" member can summon spirit creatures under the name of Mr. "The Fool."
"Through the ritual magic related to the 'Faceless Man', I made a stand-in, and I secretly monitored it...... But why didn't he just change his appearance and have to get a stand-in? Then we won't find him at all!" Franka thought of a dangerous possibility.
Lumian nodded:
"If the one in the Delta Asylum is really a stand-in, it means that he represents a trap and is deliberately used to lure us, and 'I have a friend' will definitely pay close attention to the final result.
"So, either the great danger contained in the stand-in will not only drag the pursuers to death together, but also create a lot of movement, or the two are very close or have an occult connection.
"Don't worry about the situation in the front, there is a powerful lady to guard against accidents, and the latter possibilities will depend on you Franka......"
If the person in the asylum is "I have a friend", the problem is even simpler.
…………
Late at night, on the third floor of the Delta asylum in a room near the east annex.
A pair of gold-rimmed glasses was placed on the bedside table, reflecting the little moonlight seeping into the room, while the patient on the bed was sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a black figure opened the heavy door inlaid with iron railing windows and walked in silently.
He politely held the handle and gently closed the door, isolating all movement.
The entire interior space seems to be closed.
