Chapter 654: The Failed Plot Inside the patrol team’s off-white four-story building. Camus, who had freed himself from the influence of the playing card, saw Sow lying in a pool of blood, torn in half by two zombie-like undead creatures. In another room, there was a patrol team member controlled by Tewanaco who was resisting stubbornly, while his other companions had been eliminated. Camus breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he would be assassinated within the patrol team and almost died. He looked at the deputy captain, Reyaza, who had rushed to the scene, the middle-aged man in a thin black suit who controlled the undead creatures, and asked doubtfully: "How did Sow become a member of the 'Rose School'? "How come so many team members are controlled by the 'Rose School'?" Although Camus had just tried his best to fight against the poker card, he also heard Janna's cry, which left a certain impression in his mind. Leisa looked at Sowu in the pool of blood and the undead creatures in the room, thought for a few seconds and said:

"It should be Tehuanaco who did it." Tehuanaco... Camus suddenly remembered the questions that Louis Berry had once raised. Could it be that the serial murders four years ago were really committed by Tewanaku? Is he actually a demon? Camus couldn't help but frowned and complained: "Allowing a zombie to stay in the team is a huge hidden danger. We can't ignore the fact that he is a member of the Rose School just because he is usually very restrained. He can indulge himself at certain times." Leisa had a cold temperament and said in a deep voice: "But we have confirmed that he is actually a member of the Temperance Faction who defected from the Rose School and believes in The Fool." "Those who believe in it are 'fools' and 'moderation'?" Camus asked in astonishment. He didn't expect to get such an answer. ………… In the Kingdom of Night, in that ancient, dilapidated palace, in the interrogation room in the dream. Hearing Lumian's question, "Sisoka" laughed: "If you ask the Tarot Club for help, I can kill you!" As the laughter echoed, the black shadow of "Hisoka" seemed to come alive, projected onto the wall, and grew curved goat horns and huge bat wings. Lumian smelled a conspiracy and asked with a bit of confusion and curiosity: "Why do you think so?" "Hisoka" stood up, the killing desire in his eyes seemed to solidify into substance: "If you ask the Tarot Club for help, they will definitely let me help you investigate." Having said that, the corners of "Hisoka's" mouth curled up and he smiled unusually ostentatiously. No longer awake in his dream, he revealed his deepest self.

Lumian raised his eyebrows. "Are you some minor Arcana card?" "Hisoka" shook his head and replied with a bright smile: "I am a member of the Temperance Faction, a follower of Mr. Fool." As he said this, the demon laughed heartily, placed his hands on his chest, and bowed: "Praise the fool!" Seeing this scene, Lumian found it both absurd and funny, and instinctively began to analyze it: "Hiso" is actually a member of the "Temperance Faction" of the "Rose School"? A demon who is full of malice is actually a member of the "Temperance Faction"? From common sense, this is obviously impossible! But this is a dream created by Hela, and unless Hisoka has special abilities, it is unlikely that he will lie. In this case, there is only one explanation left: He had infiltrated the "temperance faction" by deception and fraud! On the surface, he is indeed an extraordinary person of the "prisoner" path, and he behaves quite restrainedly. If he is just a non-core member, the "temperance faction" may not examine him very strictly and may not discover his problems. Well, is this why the Matanibong Patrol allowed a "prisoner" to join through the Beyonder? This happened more than four years ago. At that time, "Hisoka" was apparently just a Sequence 8 "madman" on the "prisoner" pathway, not even a mid-sequence. He could only be considered a peripheral member of the "temperance faction" and was likely not taken seriously. Moreover, he should have joined the "Temperance Faction" before this, when he was weaker and less noticeable. He later pretended that he got the resources from the "Temperance Faction" and the "Rose School" attacks to get promoted, but in fact it was the gift of the "Mother Tree of Desire"? Where did those resources go? Were they sold secretly or made into magical items? That poker card? Why did he infiltrate the Temperance Faction and believe in Mr. Fool? The main purpose is obviously not for resources... I believe in Mr. Fool... Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly had a guess: Hisoka's real goal is to sneak into the Church of Fool through some means and believe in Mr. Fool! This is the revelation from that Heavenly Lord! "'Xi Suo' truly believes in 'Fu Sheng Xuan Huang Tian Zun', but that Tian Zun is fighting against Mr. 'Fool', and it is obvious that he can also influence the 'Fortune Teller', 'Apprentice' and 'Thief' paths... "Did Hisoka use some kind of trick when praying? On the surface, he was praying to Mr. Fool, but in reality, he was receiving the prayer from that Heavenly Lord? This way, he wouldn't have the risk of false faith... "That's very possible... Ms. Magician said that if you don't follow the procedure when praying to Mr. Fool, the one who responds may not be him, but the Celestial Lord... "What is Tianzun's purpose in asking Xi Suo to do this? “The Thief… Stealing… He is not trying to steal Mr. Fool’s identity and beliefs bit by bit in this way, is He? “When many believers sincerely believe in Mr. Fool, but equate him with Tianzun, does Tianzun also become ‘Fool’? "Hiss, the more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes... "It's definitely not enough to rely on 'Siso' alone. There should be many similar believers... "That's amazing! If Tianzun develops followers normally, he will be wiped out by the Tarot Club if he shows any signs. But if his followers all believe in Mr. Fool, not only will they not be eliminated, but they will also be blessed... "How insidious..." Lumian quickly came up with a series of inferences and felt the terrifying oppressive force of the Lord in the darkness. If you are targeted by Him, you may fail inexplicably without realizing it, and be doomed! With these speculations, when Lumian thought back to what happened in Pylos Port, he clearly understood "Siso"'s confidence and why he stayed and waited for an opportunity: When I first arrived in the southern continent and the port of Paros, I had no resources, no companions, and even didn't understand the Dutan language. There was a high probability that I would ask the "Tarot Club" behind me for some help. When the target is still unclear and it is unknown how long it will take to find it, the Major Arcana members of the Tarot Club cannot come in person. They should appoint a Minor Arcana who is familiar with the southern continent or a member of their own power to help. Under this premise, who else could be more suitable and meet the requirements than Tewanaco Tupian, who belongs to the "Temperance Faction" of the Church of Fools, was born in Matanibong, is familiar with local conditions, has a corresponding official identity, and has reached Sequence 6 in strength? In that case, Lumian will investigate "Hisoka" together with "Hisoka", and the other party will gradually grasp the situation, find out whether there are traps and when the traps will become invalid, and then seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, impact the spirit, and detonate desire!

Lumian thought about this development and felt that if he had not been able to detect the malicious intentions of "Sisoka" during the investigation, the probability of him dying at his hands would be 100%, and he could only watch this demon fight Thermiporos in the form of soul fragments. And "Sisoka" had been told by "Loki" that he should be prepared in advance to deal with the dangerous creatures in the seal, for example, relying on the devil of the North family, or relying on his identity as a follower of the "Mother Tree of Desire". "Luckily, Ms. Magician has always told me that hunters cannot rely on high-ranking officials or the organizations behind them for everything. They must hone themselves and become familiar with conspiracies and battles. Otherwise, I might have asked the Tarot Club for guidance as soon as I arrived at Port Pairo... “That’s dangerous… "My sister and Emperor Roselle both said that the most dangerous place is often the safest place. Now I want to add that the place that you think is the safest and most trustworthy may be hiding the greatest risk... “It’s not that we can no longer be trusted, but the enemy will exploit that trust, that sense of security. "Well, Ms. 'Magician' has also been saying that if there is something odd about her orders and suggestions, ignore them and quickly contact the other Major Arcana to confirm the situation." Lumian looked at the emotional "Hisoka" and smiled: "If I didn't have a special trace expert to help me, if the Hidden Blade didn't have a better understanding of the role you played, if the Psychologist didn't complete your profile, if I still couldn't find the clues and direction, I would indeed ask the Tarot Club for help and seek a guide familiar with the local situation." "Hisoka" fell silent for a few seconds before saying: "I understand everything else, but why is there a special trace expert?" Lumian laughed. “Because this is a gift from one true God.” The longer Lumian stayed with Ludwig, the more he felt that allowing such a dangerous guy to escape from the church's control was not a decision that any high-ranking member of the Church of Knowledge could make. It must have been a revelation from the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom". Of course, Lumian was not sure, because as far as he knew, the knowledge path, that is, the "reader" path, seemed to be very good at prediction when it reached a high sequence. "Hisoka" was silent at first, then suddenly shouted loudly, like a wolf howling at the moon. Lumian reviewed the whole thing again and deeply realized that this revenge was a confrontation between conspiracies, but unfortunately, "Sisoka" did not understand his own personality and style well enough, nor did he understand his companions well enough. He could only use the sea prayer ceremony and the first killing of "Loki" as a reference, so there was a deviation, which resulted in his prediction not coming true even though it had a high probability of coming true. Huh…Lumian let out a breath and asked: "Who is the one who is sabotaging the patrol team?" PS: Updates may be unstable in the next two days because my wife had a minor surgery on Friday and I am accompanying her. Before, I was relying on my saved drafts to keep up with the normal updates, but now my saved drafts are almost gone, so sad. It is because of this incident that I had to give up my participation in Xiao Ke’s birthday event today. Now my wife is recovering well from the operation and will be discharged from the hospital on Monday or Tuesday. If the updates are unstable, I will probably only update once in the next two days. Please forgive me. Of course, I will try not to take leave and hope I can still update normally. (End of this chapter)
