Lumian had previously thought that the tenant was like Charlie, dreaming of Susanna. Matisse was slowly drained of energy and died suddenly in the room, and the hotel owner Mr. Efe was responsible for secretly transferring the body to a corner of Trier underground. Who knew that the other party had become a pervert with extraordinary abilities, still wandering around the honest market area, targeting those good-looking girls.
Since Hedesi had not shown any extraordinary characteristics for a long time after his death, Lumian was certain that his power came from a gift, and it was obviously the same source as Susanna, Mathis, and Mr. Efe.
That is to say, not long after the portrait of Susanna Matisse was posted, Hedsey became a believer of the "Mother Tree of Desire" for some unknown reason, and received two or three blessings in just a few months. He suddenly had quite good strength and mastered a lot of esoteric methods. For the extraordinary people who took magic potions and were promoted, this speed was hard to imagine, unless they mastered the acting method and were at a very low level.
Of course, in Hedesi's case, the gift also showed its bad side. The recipient would be affected by the power and gradually become unlike himself, becoming more and more extreme and radical in some aspects, and would often do things that seemed irrational to normal people and would bring disaster.
Mr. Efe's stinginess and Hedesi's desire for women both fall into this category.
Lumian suspected that almost all the powers bestowed by God carried similar problems to a greater or lesser extent. After all, they would make the recipients slowly move closer to the givers, resulting in corresponding alienation.
The reason why he has not been affected by the power of the Dancer and the Mendicant is because it does not come directly from the secret existence named Fate, but comes from the pollution in his body, which has been filtered through the seal. Moreover, Lumian has always been vigilant about this aspect. Not only does he not change his style and life patterns according to the characteristics of the Dancer and the Mendicant to improve his control over power, but sometimes he even does the opposite.
In addition, he would upgrade a sequence and have a preliminary digestion before obtaining the corresponding gift, in order to keep the power in his body balanced.
"How did you find out?" Lumian lowered his head and asked Janna in a low voice.
Janna twisted her body to the beat, using the loud music to cover her mouth. She pouted and said, "It's obvious that the pervert can't live without women. He can't kidnap a woman every day and drag her to the ground. Otherwise, he would have been caught long ago. There should be several. Didn't those incompetent black dogs find out?" How did he usually solve the problem? It was obviously impossible to satisfy him by myself, so I asked Franca to ask the dancers and streetwalkers of the Savoy Party, and soon I got the answer.
"How can that pervert who deserves to be fucked by a donkey have so much energy to come several times a day!"
"Why doesn't he go find those rich old ladies? Both sides can get what they want!" Janna proudly recounted her investigation process to show off her smart brain. She was still upset about being fooled by Lumian in the afternoon.
Indeed, before becoming a believer of the "Mother Tree of Desire" and receiving the gift, Hedsey was a frequent visitor to places like City Wall Street, Breda Street, and Nightingale Street. After receiving the "gift", his entire head was filled with women.
Lumian discovered that Jenna still had some brains sometimes.
He immediately gave a piece of information back: "That abnormal desire should come from the influence of his extraordinary power."
"Extraordinary powers..." Janna looked up at Lumian. She thought he would play dumb, just like in underground Trier, where both parties tacitly did not mention the extraordinary abilities displayed by Hedsey. But he would say it so frankly now.
After a pause, Jenna, who was dancing close to Lumian, whispered in confusion, "Why can supernatural power make him such a pervert?"
This was not quite the same as the supernatural power she knew. Before it got out of control, it would have a slight impact at most.
Lumian smiled and said, "Abnormal supernatural power."
"Don't I know it's abnormal?" Janna was once again irritated by the other party.
Lumian chuckled and said, "As for why it's abnormal, go back and ask Franca.
Lanka didn’t know either, so she asked her to ask the boss.”
The reason why he disclosed this information to Shang Na was because he was worried about the follow-up of the problems of Mr. Efe, Susanna, Mattis, Hedsey and others. If the official Beyonders had not investigated the truth, the only external force he could rely on, apart from Mr. K's fingers, was the Beyonders of the Savoy Party.
Janna snorted, and stopped talking about this topic, concentrating on dancing with Lumian. When this part of the music was about to end, she suddenly reached out and touched Lumian's chest. "Haha, you have a good figure!" Janna smiled and stepped back, turning to walk towards the half-height wooden platform in front of the dance floor.
She looked as if she had finally gotten some revenge for what happened underground, and her whole demeanor became cheerful.
Lumian sneered, left the dance floor, and picked up the glass of rye beer again.
While listening to the song, he swayed his body gently and took the opportunity to observe the situation in various places in the Mill Ballroom.
With a quick glance, he found that on the same side of him but closer to the stage, there was a group of people dressed in different styles and who looked like gangsters.
They were surrounding a sturdy man who was nearly 1.9 meters tall.
The sturdy man looked a bit like the "Giant" Simon. His muscles supported his black shirt and formal suit, but he was wearing durable dark blue canvas trousers and a pair of strapless black leather boots. The overall combination seemed a bit inconsistent.
His brown hair was curled up in tangles, thick and messy, his brown eyes were slightly tilted to the side, his facial features were ordinary, his outlines were quite rigid, and his hands and legs were a little long compared to the normal human proportions.
"Hammer" ... Lumian withdrew his gaze, thinking that this should be the first one. In Trier, there are not many people who are close to 1.9 meters tall.
At this distance, Lumian was not worried that "Hammer" Et and his men would recognize him. After all, the entire dance hall was dimly lit, relying solely on the surrounding gas wall lamps and a chandelier above for lighting, which made it easy for everyone to "communicate" while dancing. Unless they were particularly familiar with each other or had just met, they would not be able to recognize each other.
Besides, Lumian had disguised himself to a certain extent, and he didn't expect that Janna would recognize him at a glance.
After Janna finished singing another song, "Hammer" Et and his men left the dance floor and went upstairs.
Lumian continued his observation, and suddenly, he saw a familiar figure coming in the door.
That was Mr. Efe, the landlord of the "Golden Rooster Hotel", whose clothes had turned white from washing.
His blue eyes looked around, his expression slightly anxious and worried.
"Is he looking for Hedsey? That pervert went out in the afternoon and never came back. They suspected he had an accident, so they went to various dance halls and places with street girls to look for clues?"
Lumian looked away thoughtfully, looking at the dancers in the dance floor. Based on the various characteristics of Hedesi's spirit, he felt that Mr. Efe was much weaker than him. He should only have the gift power equivalent to Sequence 9, which was focused on greed and perhaps also included appetite, while Hedesi was most likely equivalent to Sequence 8. There was a small probability of Sequence 7: Lumian was more inclined to the former, because the few Sequence 7s he had encountered before were relatively comprehensive, and he would not be able to deal with them in one go after he was prepared and set up traps.
Of course, if Lumian had not observed patiently and discovered that Hedesi had the ability to arouse other people's sexual desire, and had not thought of a countermeasure in advance, he might have been the one who was quickly solved.
In that situation at that time, if Janna hadn't been there, he could still rely on his own orientation to resist the influence and not completely forget the existence of the enemy. But with that "exaggerated woman", it was difficult for him to control himself and he had to rely on pain to wake himself up.
Lumian saw from the corner of his eye that Mr. Efe was talking to the dancers who were part-time streetwalkers one by one, and then they were scolded away with the same contemptuous look. He laughed in his heart: "Is he pretending to negotiate the price to inquire about Hedsey's whereabouts?"
As a result, you are too stingy and always cut the other party's quotation in half or even more, so you get scolded
"Haha, Charlie was worried about Mr. Efe before. This old widower was reluctant to spend money to find a regular prostitute and got sick. It seems that he was overthinking. Mr. Efe couldn't find a regular prostitute.
Even streetwalkers are reluctant to spend money! 」
The negative impact of the gift power is so strong. If there are women in that group of people, and they are at the same level as Hedsey and have the same gift power, they should also be in a state of constant hunger. Mr. Efe does not need to find other street girls. Haha, he will only hate himself for being a man. He is almost unable to bear it, but he is forced to arouse his desire.
The best disguise for those women is dancers and streetwalkers. That's not right. If there really were such women, Hedesi wouldn't have to come out and harm others.
Could it be that all those who were originally at this level had been promoted or died, and the new ones had not yet been replaced? Or, the number of men and women was not equal, and Hedsey was the one who was excluded
While Lumian was thinking, the band played another exciting dance music.
After singing the song, Janna jumped down from the half-high wooden platform again, came to Lumian and invited him to dance.
This caused boos from the people around. Lumian knew that Janna must have something else to say, so he deliberately turned around half a circle to provoke those who were booing.
He immediately entered the dance floor, approached Janna, and started to dance.
Janna looked up at him and asked with a smile.
"What do you want to do in the Mill Ballroom, you Savoyard man?"
Lumian chuckled and said, "Don't you think I like you? Of course I came here to listen to you sing."
Jenna made a disdainful sound: "Your target is Hammer, right? Do you want to replicate what happened to Maggot?"
“Quite clever,” Lumian praised in a provocative tone.
Jana smiled smugly: "I can help you and provide you with important information."
Lumian restrained his nonchalant state and asked thoughtfully, "What do you want?" Janna snorted and cursed, "Do you look down on me? Although I didn't say thank you this afternoon, I won't forget that you saved me. It just so happens that I know all the dance halls in the market area, and I just met with At and talked about the performance later. I should be able to help you."
Without waiting for Lumian to respond, she gritted her teeth and continued: Tiechui is in the innermost room on the second floor, towards the Golden Rooster Hotel. He has ten thugs around him, four at the door, half inside and half outside, two at the window, two at the sofa, and two following him all the time. They all have guns.
It wasn't so tight before, and there weren't so many people. It was you who killed Maggot.
“That room has an attached bathroom. There was no one inside. If the window was fully opened, one person could barely squeeze through.
"You can climb up to the second floor through the ventilation duct in the ballroom kitchen, avoid the people guarding the stairs, then go into the next room and jump from the windowsill to a ledge outside the bathroom. It's very narrow, so you need to be very skilled to succeed."
