The little brown bull slowly used its front hooves to tap the mechanical typewriter, which was a size that didn't quite match its size. It had to be very careful with each tap so as not to affect the nearby keycaps.
Lumian played with the Coin of Doom, patiently waiting for Bouvard's complete answer.
Taking this opportunity, he quickly went over this action in his mind:
From the beginning, he had no intention of doing it himself. One reason was to try to play the role of a "conspirator", and the other was to allow the members of the small team to perform better and improve their tacit cooperation.
Based on Bouvard-Pomperaud's strong possessiveness, he placed the focus of his conspiracy on Pauline herself. Through Anthony Reid's repeated "psychological suggestion", the lady's accumulated hatred due to abuse was fermented and turned into a seed, which would immediately germinate when the physical restraints were released.

In order to make Bouvard relax his vigilance and prevent the "premonition of danger" from erupting until the very end, Lumian not only had Franca prepare for anti-divination in terms of occult science, but also had this companion disguised as Paulina and then exposed, so that the target subconsciously believed that the tied-up person was the real one.
Of course, that was indeed true. Before Bouvard cut the rope, Pauline did not even have any real hatred towards him, but was full of desire to be rescued. This was a true feeling that could not be disguised by any performance, and it was enough to make Bouvard believe it and would not trigger his "premonition of danger."
Janna's role is, first, to attack and exert pressure, not allowing the target time to observe the environment and think about the details, forcing him to approach Paulina eagerly and try to escape from 20 Terrace Street with his own treasure in the shortest possible time; second, to make the enemy instinctively believe that the ambush is concentrated in the area around the master bedroom, and that the room where the real Paulina is placed is relatively safe and there will be no problem.
So, just as Lumian had expected, Bouvard "ran wildly" all the way and fell into the trap.
If the conspiracy is not focused on Paulina, with Bouvard's "premonition of danger", even if Franca's performance is realistic and resembles Paulina, the other party will notice it in advance and release the little devil they have raised to make a cautious confirmation.
"From this performance, I can see that the trap is the simplest and most intuitive conspiracy, and the conspiracy is the deepening and upgrading of the trap..." Lumian sighed in his heart as he felt the potion being digested a little.
At the same time, seeing that there was no sense of danger brewing or growing between the tapping of Bouvard's hooves, Franka, who was in invisible state, relaxed a lot.
She couldn't help but recall the conversation she had with the liaison officer of the "Sinner" organization when she was pretending to be Paulina, and her face turned red, hot and burning.
This is so embarrassing! This is so damn embarrassing!
Finally, Bouvard completed his first keyboard chat.
Janna tore off the paper full of words from the mechanical typewriter and quickly read it to Lumian and Franca: "More than two months ago, the Sanson family went somewhere and has not returned yet."
“I don’t know where that is, but from what they say, it’s related to something important.
"Before this, the mistress of the Sansong family, Constace, had gone mad. In order to prevent her from doing anything extreme when she was completely out of control and attracting the attention of the official Beyonders and affecting other members of the organization, her husband, Vasant Sansong, killed her along with their children and allowed her to return to the Lord's kingdom."
Being purged because of madness? When did you develop the illusion that you were not crazy? It's just that the degree of madness is not too serious, and you are at a stage where some of your views are distorted and different from those of normal people, and you even know how to disguise yourself... After listening to this, Lumian muttered a few words silently.
In his opinion, from the moment they established contact with the being named Destiny, those believers were no longer normal people. They were all more or less polluted and had potential mental problems. There was no telling when they would go completely crazy or collapse.

If Lumian himself had not been sealed by Mr. Fool and had not been balanced by the influence of Beyonder characteristics, he would definitely be crazier and more terrifying than Constace described by Bouvard.
Janna, who was standing between him and Bouvard, could not help but hiss, and felt more and more that it would be a good thing to be a little tougher on the evil god's followers.
Those people have lost their normal emotions. They kill their wives and mothers at will and clean them up at will!
If they can treat their own relatives like this, one can imagine how they will treat the people around them!
"Who went to that unknown place you mentioned?" Lumian asked.
Clap, clap, clap! The little bull started typing on the keyboard again.
This time, it was much more skilled than before, and the answer was presented on the paper word by word: "Vazan Sanson is our leader. He received the oracle and went to that place with several 'life hunters' in Trier."
"Vazan Sanson is the leader of the 'Sinners' organization?" Lumian asked in surprise.
According to "I Have a Friend", didn't Voisin Sanson choose to join the "Sinners" organization because he was about to go bankrupt, and later successfully turned his luck around and obtained the gift of power
Snap, Snap, Snap. The new answer was printed on the paper and read out by Janna:
"He was the first person to spread the belief in predestination in Trier. He attained divinity nearly three years ago and became the 'Man in the Ring'.
“He likes to pretend, and in front of his collaborators he would pretend that he was just a core member of the organization, not the founder of the organization.
"His wife and children were the ones he brought into the world of mysticism and became fate givers. Except for the deceased Roshi, his wife and three other children are now 'Fate Hunters'. Of course, Constace has been cleared."
A demigod, a "man in the ring", actually contacted "Loki" and "I have a friend" as a low- to mid-sequence Beyonder. It was indeed a bit insidious and cunning... I don't know if "I have a friend" noticed it. If not, haha, they are really living in their own world, thinking that everyone around them is a fool, and they are all objects that can be used and squeezed... Who is the hunter and who is the prey? Lumian laughed at the two core members of "April Fool's Day" again.
At the same time, he gained a better understanding of the "Sinner" organization: an evil cult developed with the Samson family as its core.

As for how Vaisan Samson came into contact with the belief in fate and obtained the gift of the evil god, that is another question.
It now appears that he was failing in business, close to bankruptcy, and had no other options, so he tried something.
"Why didn't Voisin Sanson let Guillaume Bene know that he was the leader of the 'sinners'?" Lumian confirmed the details.
Guillaume Bennet is already a Sequence 5 "Life Hunter", no worse than those of the Samson family and other core members, and significantly stronger than Bouvard Pomperaud.
The little bull once again used the typewriter to satisfy his desire to express himself:
"Mr. Voisin believes that Guillaume Bene is too ambitious. If he is allowed to participate in core affairs, it will lead to his ego expansion and unnecessary actions."
To put it simply, Voisin was very dissatisfied with Guillaume Bennet's behavior of holding the sacrificial ceremony in the village of Cordu ahead of time. He believed that he had messed up the arrival of the angel of destiny. However, since the existence in the name of destiny did not punish the "life hunter" on the spot, he could only hold his nose, swallow his dissatisfaction, and temporarily accept Guillaume Bennet and marginalize him. Lumian roughly grasped Voisin Sanson's mentality from Bouvard's answer.
He thought about it and changed the question: "After Vasant Sanson went to that place, did he contact you occasionally? What were you responsible for, and why did you think you needed to be cautious and not make any mistakes?"
The Bull's proficiency in using the mechanical typewriter increased again: "Before leaving, Lord Vassan told me that he would not contact me for three months and would not return until the matter was over."
"I and several other members are responsible for managing different businesses and contacting different believers. We ask them to focus on their own prayers and business operations during these three months and not to cause any trouble. The same goes for the rest of us."
The oracle of fate believes that the disaster will come within three months? It has been more than two months since Voisin Samson and his men disappeared... In less than three weeks, the problem will definitely break out? Time is very tight... Lumian asked a lot of details about the current situation of the Samson family and the "Sinner" organization, but it can be seen that Bouvard Pomperaud did not know much and only understood the matter at hand.
Finally, Lumian pointed at several items he had taken out of the other person's pocket and asked, "What are these and what are they used for?"
The little bull answered truthfully using a mechanical typewriter: "What you just took was the Doom Coin made using the 'Transfer of Fortune' technique."
"I once met a very unlucky man. I used the 'transfer magic' to give him a new life. He became a believer of my Lord. This unlucky gold coin is the product of that help."
Once upon a time...Lumian frowned slightly and said, "How long can the effect of the 'transfer spell' of the 'ascetic monk' last?"

During the "Mendicant Monk" stage, after he uses the ritual to transfer the target's fate to the corresponding object, the effect can only last for three days. After this period, if another person has not been found to bear this fate, it will return to the original owner and can no longer be transferred. "
After becoming the "Bound Person", Lumian never used the "Luck Change Technique" again. He could only roughly estimate that the duration would be increased to five to seven days based on the mystical knowledge he had acquired.
While speaking, he focused his attention and looked at the 5 fil gold coin in his hand. He found that it was wrapped with a blood-red and almost black fortune, trying to erode him but nothing could shake it.
Ordinary bad luck should be able to affect me, but extreme misfortune will affect the intertwined fate of Thermipolus and me. Without the corresponding personality, the original river cannot be shaken at all...Lumian made a preliminary judgment.
The little bull replied:
"Thirteen days, this is the limit of the 'Transfer of Fortune'. If you want to improve it further, you can only rely on the ability of the 'Life Hunter'.
"Within thirteen days, if I don't have any enemies to deal with, I will randomly pick a target and make him suffer bad luck. Then, after he starts to have bad luck, I will spread the power of fate to help him change his luck. I will then receive another bad luck gold coin and a new believer."
"Fuck, a perpetual motion machine!" Franka, who was in invisible state, couldn't help but complain in her heart.
