After hearing Rentas's answer, Lumian didn't know whether to laugh out loud or be glad that he had obtained a satisfactory result despite starting from the wrong idea.
He originally thought that Fake Ef and other extraordinary people who believed in the "Mother Tree of Desire" would find it difficult to control their desires for greed, food, sex, etc., so he chose to use gold coins to carry the homeless man's bad luck. Who knew that the evil god's believers would only be deeply affected by the corresponding desires in different sequences. When they truly mastered that power or obtained new gifts, they would be able to break free and enter the next state. Although those desires were still relatively strong, they were no longer uncontrollable.
In other words, if Rentas was not playing the role of Mr. Efe and needed to show that kind of stinginess, he would most likely not easily pick up the gold coin that brought bad luck, and would examine the situation on the scene more carefully.
Of course, if he is insensitive to the changes in fate and fails to notice the problem with the gold coin, after discovering that the owner has gone far away and will not come back, there is still a high possibility that he will take the gold coin for himself. After all, he is more greedy than ordinary people, and in the minds of a certain proportion of ordinary people, what they pick up is theirs.
Lumian was even more deeply touched by what Rentas had just said:
"Indeed, 'Don't get obsessed with the role you play'" But Rentas was in the process of acting at that time,
There is nothing wrong with pursuing details, otherwise it would be easy for people to find out that he is a fake Efe...
Franka felt that the "spiritual communication" was coming to an end, and asked hurriedly:
"Who did you guess are the core members of the Bliss Society?"
Rentas's pale and blurry face moved left and right:
“Even if I tell you, you won’t be able to find them.
"They all came to the old pigeon cage after receiving the gift of becoming actors. They used fake names and showed us fake faces. When their acting skills matured and they controlled the corresponding desires, they would restore their true identities when they left the theater.
"If you want to know their fake identities, then go collect a list of the heroines in all the plays performed by Old Pigeon Cage in the past two years, and find the ones who have performed the most.
Speaking of the heroine of the Old Pigeon Cage Theatre, Lumian remembered a name:
"Is Charlotte Calvino a core member of the Beatitudes?"
That is the protagonist of the drama "Les Nymphs de la Forêt", and the dress in the stills reminds people of Susanne Matisse.
Luntas's face became increasingly blurred, and his voice became increasingly erratic:
"I have no idea.
"She has gradually grown from an acting apprentice to a leading role in recent months. She is not an outsider, but an acting apprentice may also be developed by Maipu Meier into a member of the Bliss Society."
Just as Franka was about to ask about the corresponding sequence and ability of Maipu.Miler, the spirit of Rentas, which had been burned by the black flame, could no longer hold on and dissipated on the surface of the makeup mirror.
Franka ended the ceremony with a little regret. The "Spiritual Wall" was removed.
Then, she squatted beside Rentas's body and searched through his pockets, sighing:
“I haven’t asked Maipu yet, but as for Meier’s matter, forget it, let the authorities worry about it.
Lumian thought for a moment and said:
“I heard from a playwright that Maipu Maier was very ambitious and wanted to make the Old Pigeon House the most famous theater in Trier and win the Innis Legion of Honor.
"Desire for success, desire for recognition?" Franka remembered Rentas's description of Sequence 6 "Honored Ones". "Is this the ceiling for male members of the Bliss Society?"
“Probably.” Lumian had trouble coming up with an accurate answer.
At this time, Franca had already found a bunch of things:
Two small metal bottles, a leather wallet, some dough that fits the curve of the face, small pieces of thin skin close to human skin color, eyebrow pencils and other makeup tools...
"Can you smell what it is?" Franka threw the two metal bottles to Lumian.
Lumian briefly explained and answered:
"One is the one you just smelled, and the other should be the matching ***.
They look
It's like a must-have item for believers of the "Mother Tree of Desire" when they go out.
"The kind of mystical smelling salts?" Franka hesitated for a moment and said, "You already have a bottle and haven't used it up yet, so it belongs to me. I'll give it to you. You can choose these disguise props and the money in the wallet. Leave the ones you don't want to me. Damn it, this poor guy, let alone Beyonder characteristics and magical items, he doesn't even have any materials, talismans, or weapons!
"*** and mystic smelling salts are quite useful." Lumian, who had only gained extraordinary characteristics from "Hammer" Eit, didn't care too much.
Franka even checked Rentas's crotch and soles of his feet, but still couldn't find anything else.
She took out a folded cloth bag, unfolded it, put away the pile of things on the ground, and said to Lumian:
"We'll divide it when we get back."
After saying that, she stood up, looked at Charlie who was in a state of shock, and said to herself thoughtfully:
"He saw our fight with Rentas, what should we do?"
Charlie's legs softened, and he leaned towards Lumian, saying with gritted teeth:
"I, I won't betray you!"
Without waiting for Lumian to speak, Franca sighed and said:
"Forget it, let's just give it to the official Beyonder."
Deliberately bringing up the topic, quickly reaching a conclusion... Afraid that I would kill Charlie to silence him? Lumian, who had finally gotten rid of his desire to perform, completely regained his composure and rationality, and after a moment of thought, he said:
“I have another idea.
"Charlie doesn't have to go to St. Robert's Church to seek protection, and he doesn't have to worry about Susanna Mathis looking for him recently.
He thought of his own "lucky change technique"!
It was not necessary before because Susanna Mathis had not continued to harass Charlie, and there was no corresponding fate to change. But now, Susanna Mathis is close to recovery, Charlie is the first target, the fortune has changed, and there is a life-threatening bloody disaster, it is a good time to turn your fortune around!
At that time, Lumian will "give" the gold coins carrying the bloody disaster to the real Ev, letting them fight against each other.
Of course, this is different from the "Art of Substitution" and the "Fate Exchange" of "Corrupted Mercury". It only transfers the bloody disaster within a period of time. In other words, Charlie will not be targeted by Susanna Mathis in the next few days, but after a few days, unless Susanna Mathis has been completely purified or has lost her memory, this threat from the outside world will still come.
But the authorities will take action tomorrow, and there is sufficient intelligence to support it!
Lumian didn't do this when he found out that Charlie's fortune was problematic because he could change Charlie's fortune but not his own. Susanna would also attack him as the enemy who instigated Charlie to betray. So, it would be better to disguise himself in the simplest way and urge Charlie to go to the church of "Eternal Sun" to free up more time to guard against Susanna Mathis. Now, they are sure that Susanna Mathis will take two days to recover.
"Really?" Charlie's eyes lit up.
Lumian smiled and asked back:
"Do you believe me, or do you not?" Charlie stammered.
"Believe, believe, believe!
"You're just playing tricks on me over little things." Franka asked curiously:
"any solution?"
The way you have to avoid it... Lumian muttered silently, thinking about the specific details:
If I want to change Charlie's current fortune, praying to myself will not work. I can only use the power sealed in my body...
I have to inconvenience Charlie later and make him unconscious manually. I can't expose the fact that I am contaminated and suspected of praying for help from the evil god...
Lumian was about to tell Charlie to follow him and was ready to knock him out with a punch, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind:
"Does using the power within the seal count as using Thermopylae
"Should I write to Ms. Magician and ask for her advice
"The homeless man's bad luck had nothing to do with the mysterious or the supernatural, and the power drawn from the ritual was not much.
This time, we might have to fight against the Sequence 5 evil spirits in the evil god's altar. The support we need will definitely be several times that of last time...
“What will happen then
"From the time Charlie's fortune changed to now, everything was urgent and the timing was just right, as if they were creating this opportunity and not giving me the chance to seriously consider it.
······
"If I hadn't just written a letter to Ms. Magician and got a reminder, I'm afraid Charlie's luck would have already started to change..."
Seeing that Lumian was stunned and did not make any move, Franka asked tentatively:
"What's wrong?"
Lumian came back to his senses instantly, and after a moment’s consideration, he said:
"I just realized that the method I prepared seems to have serious flaws."
"Ah." Charlie made a short sound. He was disappointed and worried.
Franka hesitated for a few seconds and said:
“I have an idea:
"Charlie didn't go to St. Robert's Church, but followed us to White Coat Street.
"As long as we can survive tonight, tomorrow will be fine.
"Think about it. We originally planned to fight against Susanna Mathis, and Susanna Mathis will not leave the altar for two days. Even if someone attacks us tonight, it is only Maipu Meier and his men. Even if he invites other core members of the Bliss Society, as long as they are not as good as Susanna Mathis in the altar, we have a good chance of holding out until dawn. If it doesn't work, we can make a big noise and attract official Beyonders. We can escape in the chaos and leave the market area.
“This is the worst possible outcome, and if Charlie had gone to St Robert’s, we would now have to consider moving away and we would also be at risk of being attacked.
Lumian thought about it for a few seconds and felt that it was feasible.
He nodded and said, "I have no objection."
He then looked at Charlie, who responded eagerly:
“I don’t have a problem either.
He still has a lot of confidence in Charles and Franka.
Lumian concentrated again and observed Charlie's fortune again.
He was quite surprised to find that Charlie's blood disaster had obviously weakened and showed signs of improvement!
This... Charlie's real misfortune is to participate in the "lucky change ritual"? When I gave up that idea, his fate changed? Although there is still a bloody disaster now, it is not so serious... Fuck Thermiporos! Lumian suddenly realized something and couldn't help cursing in his heart.
