Ring of Fate

Chapter 725 He Knows

In the basement of 19 Scheer Street, Lumian met Mr. K.

If he had not witnessed with his own eyes how the other party turned into flesh and blood and covered Moran Avni, and then suffered damage from the holy light of the "Purifier", he would not have dared to believe that Mr. K, who was full of energy, wearing a black hood and without any abnormality, had sneaked into the residence of the Minister of Industry of the Republic of Intis not long ago and completed an assassination.

"Are you back from the South Continent?" Mr. K's voice was as deep and hoarse as ever.

He did not sit in the red-backed chair, but stood in the shadow directly in front of Lumian - that was formed by the projection of the crystal chandelier.

Lumian did not hide anything and said with a smile:

"I came back to do a favor for a friend. I'll leave again later. You know, I can 'teleport'."

Mr. K's huge hood moved slightly, as if nodding.

He said with relief:

"You still remember to come here to praise the glory of the Lord after returning to Trier, which proves that I was not wrong about you."

Lumian, who had just completed the entire prayer process with Mr. K, felt guilty and ashamed.

He said bluntly:

"I saw you assassinate Moran Avni."

Mr. K's gaze hidden under his hood suddenly became tangible, and the shadows around him seemed to float.

After a few seconds, the messenger of the Aurora Society asked in a hoarse voice:
"Were you there?"

Lumian replied in a relaxed state:
"Yes, although the way you assassinated Moran Avini had typical 'Rose Bishop' characteristics, and it was suspected that you used 'grazing' to complete the 'teleportation', even if I only got the corresponding information from the 'Purifier', it was not difficult to guess that it was you, but I must admit that I was indeed at the scene at that time."

"Where are you hiding?" asked Mr. K.

Lumian replied with a clear smile:
"In that mirror, the one where Moran Avni escaped."

Hearing this, Mr. K's black robe fluttered without wind, as if countless flesh and blood were cheering below.

He did not hide his excitement:
"What about now? Have you caught Moran Avni?"

“Yes.” Lumian nodded solemnly.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Mr. K half tilted his body back, revealing his thin chin, and laughed like a madman.

He laughed until Lumian's ears were buzzing, until light and shadows floated in the basement and the smell of blood filled the air.

Finally, Mr. K stopped laughing and said with great enthusiasm:
"It is indeed the Lord's arrangement. Indeed, piety is the only way out!"

He began to cross himself:
"Praise you, praise you for creating everything, praise you for bearing the sins of the world!"

Lumian also followed suit and praised the "True Creator" that the "Aurora Society" believed in.

Mr. K smiled and sighed:
"I had originally planned to assassinate Moran Avni in the next few days, and I hadn't decided on the exact date. As a result, when I saw Moran Avni appear at the window this evening and look at the scenery in the distance, I found that his mood and state were a little off.

“I was worried that something unexpected might happen, so I rushed into the operation and ended up with a failure.

"I was just about to confess to the Lord and take on the sins that I should bear, when you came and told me that you had caught Moran Avni.

"This shows what?
“It means that the Lord has already arranged everything. We only need to pray piously, act piously, and do things piously. We don’t need to consider anything else.

“As long as you are pious, failure will be the precursor to success. Without piety, even if you succeed, it will only be a success that leads to failure.”

Every time Lumian communicated with Mr. K before, he felt like they were both speaking a different language. It wasn’t that he couldn’t understand, but that he couldn’t comprehend and fathom that fanatical state from the bottom of his heart.

But this time, he was suddenly startled and felt a slight chill in his body:

The "backroom deal" I initiated through the "backroom of the powerful" would not be connected to the Lord believed in by the "Aurora Society" after all the twists and turns, right?

Therefore, Moran Avni suddenly had the idea of ​​venturing out through the mirror in the study, and went to the study to observe the environment, pretending to read a book while weighing the risks...

So, after I pushed Moran Avni's fate to change, it was Mr. K who came to the study and hastily assassinated him, forcing Moran Avni to flee into the nearest mirror, which was the full-length mirror where we hid...

When we did the "secret deal", we paid for it with the "blood gold" ring, which was derived from the Beyonder characteristics corresponding to the "Rose Bishop" of the "Secret Prayer" Path Sequence 6...

Lumian decided to share his feelings with Mr. K, but he concealed his own fear and the role of the ability to "drive destiny", and attributed all the corresponding changes to the "black box of the powerful."

Mr. K, who had laughed wildly, did not lose his composure again and said in a solemn and enthusiastic tone:
“The Lord sees, the Lord hears, the Lord knows.”

Lumian had heard similar words from the "Magician" lady, but he didn't have a very clear feeling at the time, and he wasn't even worried at all. After all, there was no point in worrying. But now, every hair on his body stood up, and a chill ran from his tailbone to his brain.

He felt like there were eyes watching him from every shadow around him.

The more he experienced and the more knowledge he acquired, the more clearly he could feel the terror and oppression brought by those three short sentences.

After a few seconds, Lumian once again praised the "True Creator" and asked a question:
"Mr. K, why did you want to assassinate Moran Avni?
"My friends and I are fighting him because the real Moran Avni is dead, and the one who is active now is the 'Mirror Man'. What about you?"

"'Man in the mirror'? No wonder there is a 'mirror double'. It was precisely because I did not anticipate this that the assassination failed." Mr. K sighed in a tone of sudden enlightenment.

He paced back and forth for a few steps and said to Lumian:
"In recent months, some of the cases that occurred in Intis were ultimately linked to an organization called the 'School of Truth'. They used corrupt personnel from various evil god sects and regular organizations to accomplish certain things, such as the mysterious disappearance of a descendant of Perri and the mysterious disappearance of several pages of Roselle's diary that were under close surveillance."

Perri? One of Emperor Roselle's Four Horsemen? One of his descendants mysteriously disappeared? Thinking of this, Lumian's eyelids suddenly jumped:
Jebus Rata said that the three goals of the "School of Truth" are to find clues to the fallen kingdom of heaven, to find the last tomb of Emperor Roselle, and to find the "0-05" wishing lamp.

Among them, the seal of Trier in the Fourth Epoch has just been opened once. In the short term, the official organizations of Intis should not make any more mistakes. "0-05" is in the hands of Bernadette, the eldest daughter of Emperor Roselle. The "School of Truth" admits that it is temporarily unable to deal with the leader of the "Dawn of the Elements" and wants to try again after obtaining more gifts.

In other words, two of the three goals require long-term planning by the "School of Truth". As for the clue to the last mausoleum of Emperor Roselle, Jebus said that he himself did not have any relevant clues. As for whether the "Supervisor" had any, he was not sure.

Combined with what Mr. K just said, Lumian had a bad feeling:

Could it be that the "School of Truth" has already grasped the important clues about the last tomb of Emperor Roselle?

Mr. K continued:

"We are investigating these things, and so is Elemental Dawn.

"We recently discovered that Moran Avni appeared in some cases and seems to be a very important figure in the 'School of Truth'."

"Then why did you choose to assassinate him instead of trying to catch him?" Lumian felt that Mr. K's previous actions were aimed at killing Moran Avini.

Mr. K laughed hoarsely:

"Killing him is easier than catching him. After Moran Avini's death, something abnormal will inevitably happen. The official Beyonders present will definitely find a way to communicate with his spirit. At that time, the official will follow up and track down the 'School of Truth' to prevent their plan from becoming a reality.

“Isn’t this our purpose?
"Moreover, we can hide in the dark and look for people from the 'School of Truth' according to the official direction of action."

You, a divine messenger of the Aurora Society, have also learned to "report" and take advantage of the authorities? Lumian laughed.

If it wasn't for the purpose of obtaining more information about the "Man in the Mirror", he and Franca and the others wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. They could just force Moran Avni to behave abnormally.

Lumian asked Mr. K a few more detailed questions, and felt more and more that the "School of Truth" was quite close to the location of Emperor Roselle's final mausoleum.

He did not delay any longer and said that he would go back quickly to interrogate Moran Avni to avoid any accidents.

"Do you need my help?" Mr. K asked.

Lumian smiled and replied:
"Not for the time being. We have a hypnotist, the truth serum from the Bliss Society, and a witch who is good at psychic communication."

What he didn't mention is that there are also abilities related to "Life Hunter".

——In the process of "hunting for fate", Lumian can "see" all of Moran Avini's past and present fate, as well as most of the tributaries of fate, but the duration is limited and can only be used to extract the most critical information.

"Okay, come to me anytime if you need anything." Mr. K looked at Lumian with admiration.

…………

After finding a secluded place to "teleport" back to the safe house, Lumian looked around and said to Franka:
"You used the power of Mirror Buckle to take us back to the quarry cave underground."

This is to avoid any accidents that may affect the neighborhood.

Lumian has "teleported" many times today and has also promoted the change of Moran Avini's fate. He has been playing the "Song of Hate" and launching continuous attacks on weaknesses, which has also consumed a lot of energy. As a result, he only has enough spiritual energy to "teleport" seven or eight times, and there is no more spiritual energy that was accumulated in advance.

In this case, of course, you should use extraordinary items if you can.

Franka understood Lumian's condition and did not hesitate to use the "Mirror Button". She only asked Lumian to hold the giant dog and not let it touch her.

She then made the glass buttons on the cuffs of the lady's shirt glow faintly, and led Lumian and the others who were holding her shoulders and arms into the mirror in the room, through the dark and empty tunnel, and appeared in the quarry cave with a fixed entrance and exit to the mirror world.

Then, she took out the truth serum, threw it to Anthony Reid, and said with a kind smile:
"Feed Moran Avni and have a good chat with him."
