Ring of Fate

Chapter 723 Unexpected "Helper"

Hearing the word "swindler", Lumian and the others fell silent, with similar thoughts flashing through their minds:

Can't be so unlucky?
Although Jebus mentioned that there was a possibility of encountering scammers in "backroom deals", based on Franca's experience last time using it, the "backroom deal of the powerful" was still quite reliable, and this time she also received a "blood gold" ring.

If he hadn't been in charge of the transaction, Lumian would have really wanted to use the "Eye of Disaster" to see how likely it was that the transaction would eventually be completed, and whether he could find a way to interfere.

At this point, the four of them could only wait patiently, observing the situation in the study through the glass mirror behind the dark and deep water light.

Time passed by, the night gradually darkened, and Lumian and others filled their stomachs with the dry food prepared for Ludwig in the "traveler's bag".

It was almost ten o'clock when Moran Avni walked into the study room with the wooden door open, sat down on the armchair just below the gas wall lamp, pulled out a book from the pile of books next to him, and began to read it leisurely.

The "Purifier" team responsible for protecting him today stayed at the door as usual and did not enter.

This is what Moran Avni has always insisted on. For this reason, he has signed contracts with the "Purifiers", "Mechanical Heart" members, and the Eighth Bureau team, expressing his willingness to bear the corresponding risks.

The security personnel can understand this. There may be many shameful secrets hidden in the study of such a politician, and prohibiting people with extraordinary abilities from entering is a form of self-protection.

Compared with usual times, Moran Avni left the door of his study open today instead of closing it, so that the "Purifiers" could more easily monitor various places where problems might exist.

While flipping through the books, Moran Avni occasionally looked up and glanced at the full-length mirror that was in the blind spot of the "Purifiers". It was unknown what he was thinking.

At the same time, Lumian's eyes hidden in the mirror were dyed with silver-black.

He observed the long river of Moran Avni's fate through the glass mirror.

After careful identification, he found that the Minister of Industry did have several more tributaries of fate entering the full-length mirror, one of which was shrouded in a darker black color.

Lumian no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Moran Avini lowered his head to read again, he slowly extended his right palm out of the mirror and pressed it tightly against the glass, as if it was just a reflection.

Then, he let the remaining spiritual energy gush out and transform into a violent illusory river, which rushed towards the mercury-colored river that symbolized Moran Avni's fate over a distance of several meters.

The main trunk of Moran Avni's destiny suddenly swallowed up the other tributaries and poured into the one shrouded in thick black.

"Drive Destiny"!
While releasing the spiritual energy accumulated through the ability of "Acetic", Lumian quickly retracted his hand to avoid being discovered by Moran Avini.

He then nodded to Franka and others, indicating that the previous "backroom deal" was successful and his "driving destiny" was also successful.

As for how Moran Avni would start this destiny, Lumian had no idea, as he could not see it clearly and in detail.

Franca and Janna both breathed a sigh of relief.

They didn't dare to speak, for fear of alerting Moran Avini, who had mirror-related abilities, and told Lumian that they understood with relieved smiles and relaxed nods.

Lumian continued to observe Moran Avini's situation, while Franca, Janna and Anthony stepped back and took their positions, preparing for the next ambush.

When fate was pushed forward, Moran Avni's spirit suddenly had some kind of warning, which gave him a certain sense of crisis.

He instantly thought of the message in the mirror he had received at dusk, and began to suspect that the unknown enemy mentioned by the "Supervisor" was trying to do something that might endanger his life.

Moran Avni couldn't help but look at the full-length mirror again, considering whether he should escape into the mirror and get away from this place before the "Purifiers" could react, giving up his current identity in order to completely escape the sight of the hidden enemy.

He controlled his inner impulse, turned his head, and glanced at the "Purifiers" at the door:
There may be a trap behind the mirror, so let's pray that the official Beyonders can provide strong enough protection!

This is Trier, and I am the minister of a state!

Just then, his manservant came to the door with a cup of warm milk.

Moran Avni likes to drink a glass of hot milk before taking a bath and brushing her teeth to help her sleep.

The Purifiers performed a routine inspection before letting the manservant into the study.

"Sir, your milk." The butler said respectfully, holding a white glazed porcelain cup filled with milk.

Moran Aveni has made outstanding contributions to the industrial development of Intis and has been awarded the Legion of Honor, so he can be called a knight.

Moran Avni nodded slightly and stretched out his right hand, ready to take the glass of milk.

Suddenly, he saw his servant's eyes become confused, and there seemed to be unspeakable pain hidden deep in his pupils.

The next second, the servant opened his mouth and began to vomit.

He spat out a solid, wriggling mass of bloody flesh towards Moran Avni!
The bloody lump of flesh quickly expanded and turned into a bloody cloak, covering Moran Avni, and continued to wriggle inwards, as if trying to drill into the body of the Minister of Industry.

Lumian in the mirror was a little stunned:

This breath...

This is Mr. K!

Why did he suddenly come to assassinate Moran Avni?
With a crackling sound, Moran Avni, who was covered in a cloak of flesh and blood, turned into a mirror and shattered.

Almost at the same time, the "Purifier" at the door responded. A column of pure light surrounded by flames fell from the sky, illuminating the cloak made of flesh and blood, causing him to show obvious signs of melting.

Seeing this, Moran Avni turned around without any hesitation and rushed towards the mirror closest to him.

He has already exposed his "mirror double" in front of the "Purifier". Unless he can kill everyone present without leaving any trace, he will inevitably be investigated afterwards and will no longer be protected by the contract.

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity, seize the opportunity of the "Purifier" to deal with the assassin, and escape from here through the mirror world!

Seeing Moran Avni's figure getting bigger and closer to the full-length mirror, Lumian suddenly had an idea:
Is this destiny?

He immediately stepped back and disappeared on the spot.

The next second, Moran Avni's figure passed through the mirror and appeared in the blurry, dark and almost non-existent area behind the mirror.

When the "Purifiers" from the outside world saw this scene, they were all shocked, and at the same time realized that there was a big problem with the people they were protecting.

This briefly diverted their attention, and Mr. K seized this opportunity to switch the "herding" object and directly "teleport" out of Moran Avni's mansion.

In the area behind the mirror, Moran Avni did not stop, but immediately used his ability to travel through the mirror, constantly changing his position, and finally getting rid of possible pursuers.

At this moment, he felt his body inexplicably become heavier, and his limb movements were strangely restricted, so that he failed to successfully enter a certain empty and dark tunnel.

It was like someone was grabbing him.

Then, Moran Avni felt invisible threads wrapping around his hands, feet, and torso, layer by layer.

With the help of the ability of "Sheriff", he sensed the source of the evil thread, which was not far away.

Moran Avni tilted his head slightly, looked into the empty corner, and two dazzling "lightning" flashed in his eyes.

"Spiritual Piercing"!
The "lightning" shot out and landed on a place where there was nothing. There was a crackling sound and broken mirrors scattered everywhere.

At the same time, behind Moran Avni, Janna, wearing a black dress and a veiled bonnet, emerged, holding a small and delicate revolver in her hand.

boom!
She pulled the trigger at Moran Avni's vest.

The yellow bullet was surrounded by quiet black flames and accurately hit the target's body at a very short distance.

Snap! Moran Avni used the "Mirror Double" again.

As pieces of broken mirror fell to the ground, his figure appeared in another corner of the blurry area, while Franca and Janna disappeared without a trace.

Feeling the invisible threads entwining around him, Moran Avini stretched out his right palm and said majestically in ancient Hermetic language:

"Invisibility is prohibited here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw countless transparent spider silks swaying in the area, just like seaweed occupying an area of ​​the sea. Franka, dressed as an assassin, and Janna, dressed in dark clothes, one went around from behind and the other went forward, ready to launch another attack.

Seeing that the two enemies could not affect him for the time being and the invisible spider silk had not yet tightened, Moran Avni did not bother to counterattack and immediately used the mirror shuttle to force his way out of the area.

Suddenly, Moran Avni's eyes bulged out, his expression became extremely distorted, and full of viciousness and hideousness.

His body shattered once again, in the form of a mirror.

Not far from him, Anthony Reid, dressed in veteran's clothes, "appeared".

He just used "Frenzy" on Moran Avni!
The reason why he was not restricted by the "no invisibility" rule was that he was not actually invisible, it was just that Moran Avni "himself" did not look where he was standing!

Moran Avni, who had used the "mirror substitute" many times, appeared on the other side of the area, distanced himself from Franca, Janna and Anthony.

He found that there was one more enemy and became more anxious to escape.

When Moran Avni was about to start traveling through the mirror, Franca took off her hood, revealing her bright and elegant face.

As she did so, the diamond necklace around her neck glowed faintly.

"Beatrice's necklace"!
Moran Avni's body felt hot, his eyes attracted by Lake Franca's aqua blue eyes, tall and delicate nose, fair and delicate skin, and moist and shiny red lips. He even forgot for a moment that he wanted to escape from here.

The lustful stimulation from the "Beatrice Necklace" did not directly endanger Moran Avni's life, so the "Mirror Stand-in" was not triggered, and Moran Avni himself did not have time to actively use it. Now his desires have expanded and he cannot extricate himself!
