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 gathering of occult enthusiasts at 19 Sher Street.
He was worried that he would get involved with Gardner, the leader of the Savoy Party. After Martin's sight, he will be followed secretly for a period of time to confirm whether there is any problem.
Although he can take some anti-tracking methods to try to get rid of some tracking, but isn't this more suspicious?
In comparison, a country boy who just came to Trier and stepped into the supernatural path by chance was eager for more theological knowledge, so he bought magazines such as "Psychic" and participated in various occult enthusiasts published in them from time to time. The party is a more convincing story, and in essence it is true.
The only problem was that the convener of the gathering of occult enthusiasts was Mr. K, and there was a secret organization behind him. After Gardner Martin's people investigated to this point, they asked them to work with Mr. K. Let's have a fight and see who is stronger.
As the prank king of Kordu Village, Lumi has always liked to watch the fun! At that time, he will adjust his "choice" based on the outcome of the battle. Anyway, the general direction will not change, that is, follow the "Ms. Magician" Ordered to infiltrate the hidden organization behind Mr. K."
On the moving carriage, Lumian flipped through the "Psychic" magazine in his hand. The theme of this issue was "Secret Contract". Different from Lumian's instinctive understanding, the "Q" of the secret contract did not represent "Secret Contract". "Contract" rather than "fit" is to use a certain method to make one's own spirit fit with a specific hidden existence little by little, obtain corresponding spiritual experience, and obtain certain mystical knowledge.
"Psychic" magazine emphasized in the "Editor's Note" of many articles, "This is a very dangerous behavior. Unless you can be sure that the person you are contracting with is trustworthy and not malicious, it is not recommended to try it. It will bring risks." There will be very bad and serious consequences, including but not limited to mental illness, being possessed by evil spirits, losing one's mind, death on the spot, personality changes, etc."
So that's it..." Lumian instantly understood some of the contents in Aurore's witchcraft notes. He originally studied those paragraphs from the perspective of "contract", but couldn't understand it. Now he changed his mind. Finally, I probably understood what I was talking about.”
Lumian looked down at the "Psychic" magazine in his hand and praised it in his heart: "It's more useful than I thought. I thought it was all made up to deceive occult enthusiasts." "Well, although there is a lot of common sense. It doesn't look like it was written by someone who has truly entered the extraordinary world and done a lot of research. However, I still want to explain some concepts to a high level. I will reward those who are close to the correct answers. Some of them can even give me some points. Inspiration…”
Amidst the praise, he muttered: "Judging from the fact that Mr. K lives in the underground area of the headquarters building of "Psychic" magazine, there cannot be any extraordinary people among the editorial departments and contributors of these occult magazines" Right? They first wrote a correct article and then deliberately corrected many concepts and common sense in it?"
As soon as his thoughts changed, Lumian secretly hissed, "From this point of view, the articles in this issue combined with the editor's notes are not teaching the correct secret contract rituals, but are warning, warning some people who randomly try to use the secret contract." People! "No, it's not necessarily random, it's 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, no longer paying attention to the specific words. He almost felt that it would be a warning written in bloody words, "Stop, don't hold any secret contract ceremony!"
The mysterious world is really full of dangers. Lumian 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 larger-than-normal magazine. Cheap two Rick's "Psychic", looking out the window of the carriage.
After arriving at Sher Street in the Boulevard area, Lumian performed a normal counter-tracking to show his "hunter" instinct. "Then, he entered the headquarters of "Psychic" magazine and typed in the rhythm of three total, two short and one long. Ringing the door of room 103, 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 armchair, he stared at Lumian for a few seconds, and said in a low voice: "What happened this time?" ?
"Mr. K, I have become the task you gave me. I have become the leader of the Savoy Party in the market area, responsible for managing the Breeze Ballroom and the Golden Rooster Hotel." Lumian said with a smile.
Mr. K nodded lightly, "Very good, I also like your style of doing things." Next, what you need to do is to gain Gardner Martin's trust and let him truly recognize you.
"This time, Mr. K did not mention the words "reward" and "mission" again, and gave the order directly. He seemed to regard Lumian as his subordinate.
Gaining the trust of the boss? Lumian was stunned at first, and then showed strong doubts and uneasiness? He remembered very clearly that when Mr. K gave the task, he did not specify that he should join the Savoyard Party, but instead used the word "arbitrary" to describe the gang!
But now, the follow-up is to be truly recognized by the boss of the Savoyard Party, "If I had not chosen Baron Brignier, but chosen another gangster, what kind of mission would Mr. K give today? In other words, he was very sure. I will join the Savoyard Party, "Why is he so sure?", thoughts emerged in Lumian's mind, reminding him of some recent events: I just killed that pervert and got the bottle of poison. , Baron Brignel asked me to deal with the leader of the Sting Gang, so that item came in handy. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
There are other similar things.” “I occasionally feel like someone is staring at me from the shadows around me, but I don’t notice anything. "Could all this be arranged by Mr. K?" "If I had not chosen the Savoie Party, after several incidents, I would have been arranged to join the Savoie Party?" Lumi became more and more horrified as he thought about it. When Mr. K lost his mentality of treating the other party as a profiteer, he lost his mind.
Except for a few such as Ms. "Magician", this may be the strongest extraordinary person he has ever encountered, allowing him to do things according to the other person's wishes without knowing it!
Lumian lowered his head as his thoughts flashed and said, "Yes, Mr. K, he acted like a subordinate.
At the same time, he thought of "Red Boots" Franka, a member of the secret organization and "Curly Baboon Research Society" who had both background and strength, but she had to mix in a gang and work as the mistress of the boss. She was obviously someone else. There is a purpose. Her goal is also to get close to Gardner Martin? Is this person involved in something important or a key secret? Lumian tried to make a guess. Mr. K nodded with satisfaction, "I'm very proud that you can clearly understand your position. Don't worry, I will never be stingy with rewards." "Have you not been to any church to pray recently? He changed the topic.
I am a wanted criminal. Lumian remembered Ms. Magician’s instructions and said angrily, “Besides, those gods will not save us at all!”
Mr. K chuckled and said: "It's not that they won't, it's that they can't. Their power cannot cover all believers and provide help for everyone's disasters." "There are many reasons for this, but after summarizing, there is only one "weak" "It's original sin," are you interested in knowing about the Lord I believe in? He represents the reality of this world, he is supreme, his grace is like the sea, he creates everything, he destroys everything, he is the power itself, and we are ourselves.
Seeing Lumian's silence for a moment, Mr. K did not press, "You don't need to answer me now. Think about it carefully during this time. Think about who can save us and who can survive in this increasingly dangerous and crazy world." Provide us with protection, "When you decide to believe in him, you will truly become one of us, and your strength will be greatly improved before long. "
I will think about it," Lumi answered Mr. K in a low voice, and then asked: "Do you have anything else?" Lumian, who had adjusted his mentality, said with the idea that he would not lose anything by asking. , "In the process of completing the task, if I encounter danger, can I use that finger of yours?" How to use?
Mr. K said as if he was nodding: "Just take it out." He meant that it can be used. "If I use it, how will I face the threat of Susanna and Matisse?" Lumian asked further.
Mr. K was silent for a few seconds. "After you use that finger, come here and find me, and I will give you another one."
Your fingers are indeed consumables. Lumian thought for a moment and then said: "I sold the extraordinary properties of Iron Hammer 'Aite' to Gardner Martin in exchange for 18,000 Felkin. I want to buy one. I wonder if you have any sealed objects here that can enhance my occult skills, or help me disguise myself better?" Mr. K did not answer immediately, as if he was thinking about a suitable choice.
After a while, he said to Lumian: On Saturday night, you come here to choose. "
Lumi smiled, thank you, Mr. K.
It feels really good to be supported by the organization, even if it is only an informal member now. Returning to the Honest Market area, Lumian first put Mr. K’s finger on Room 207 of the Golden Rooster Hotel, and then headed to the Breeze Ballroom, planning to find someone there. The clean room summoned the "Magician" lady messenger and reported 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 relatively coincidental way.
