Chapter 178 Chapter "Hidden Blade" Lumian walked into the room, closed the dark red wooden door, and said to "Red Boots" Franka: "Are you here for the Baron or for me?" Franka leaned back in her chair and stretched out her body completely. The only problem was that the front part of the swivel chair lifted up slightly and came off the ground, making it shaky. "Guess whether I'm here to see you or him?" Franca's voice was as clear as water, completely different from her magnificent and bright appearance, temperament and dress. "Gardner originally just wanted you to be Brinell's assistant to see if you have the ability to take charge of a certain business besides being a fighter. I told him at the time that Brinell had been a bit disobedient recently." Aurore was right. A few words from your partner could have a very important impact...Lumian nodded in understanding. When he was at Fountain Street, he was wondering why the boss was so generous as to take away one of Baron Brinell's most important "properties" and give it to a newcomer like him? You know, Breeze Ballroom is the most popular dance hall in the entire market area! Lumian was about to laugh at “Red Boots” Franka for sitting in a rude manner like a man, but when he thought about the fact that she might not be a woman, he gave up the idea and just said “tsk”. "So, I have to thank you?" "That's not necessary. Who asked you to save Janna?" Franca gently shook her right foot resting on her left ankle and said with a smile, "I came to see you for two things. First, to tell you that I have a very clear distinction between favor and hatred. I will definitely repay a favor. Second, to warn you not to go after Janna." The implicit meaning of the second half of her sentence is that revenge must be taken!

Lumian couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you have any confidence? "If you can make Jana obsessed with you, nothing I do will change her feelings." If it wasn't for the fact that he knew that the "Witch" path would allow men to change their gender, Lumian would definitely laugh at her. "Is your confidence based on that thing? Once it's gone, you feel so insecure that you come to warn me, a stranger? Who do you think Janna is? You change your mind so easily. Haha, I get it. Does Janna only regard you as a good friend and never regard you as a lover?" The smile on Franka's face gradually faded, and she quickly put her feet away and stood up. She was only slightly shorter than Lumian, and was nearly meters tall, which was quite rare among the women in Intis. "Red Boots" Franca walked around the desk, came to Lumian, and said with a raised corner of her mouth: "If you are in need of women, I can introduce you to some of my top dancers. If you don't like them, what can I do?" As she spoke, she reached out and hooked Lumian's chin, then gradually moved it down, lower and lower. Lumian's heart was as calm as a lake without wind. When he thought that this lady might have been a man before, he lost all desire and was left with only resistance. He reached out and grabbed Franca's right palm, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid of being sunk to the bottom of the Serenzo River by the boss." He immediately changed the subject: "You can be a man or a woman, too?" Franka withdrew her hand, stood up, and said with a smile: “I originally only liked girls, but after trying it once, I found that it’s not bad to be with men, and it’s a different feeling. “Life is short, so why limit yourself? Let go of some unnecessary restrictions and try more. You can have more fun and experience a completely different life.” So, you were a man before, and now you are a Sequence 7 "witch"? Why does the last sentence sound so familiar? Lumian was lost in thought while responding to Franka: "I don't have any special feelings for Jenna right now, and I don't plan to have any. I have too many important things to do." "Very good." Franca took a step and walked towards the door. Just as she reached for the handle, Lumian finally remembered why he felt that what she had just said was very familiar. In his dream, Aurore mentioned it! She said that a member of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" liked "Assassin" and drank the corresponding potion, but he hesitated and struggled when it came to the "Witch" sequence, not knowing whether he should change his gender. Another member of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society" advised him, "Life is short, why not give it a try?" This is a condensed version of Franka's words!

Lumian's heart moved, and he looked at the slender figure of "Red Boots" Franka and said in a deep voice: “Life is short, why not give it a try?” Franka stopped twisting her right palm on the handle, and her whole body froze there as if she had been struck by lightning. After a few seconds, she turned around, stared into Lumian's eyes, and asked urgently: "Who are you and what's your code name?" This reaction... It seems that I guessed right! Lumian was delighted at first, but then his mood darkened: "I'm the 'Muggle' brother." Seeing that Charles accurately said the code name of one of the members of the Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society, Franka breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I don't know if your sister has ever mentioned me. My code name is 'Hidden Blade', and I belong to the same secret organization as her. "No, she must have mentioned me! Otherwise you wouldn't know that sentence, fuck, what the hell is this!" Lumian closed his eyes and said: "She didn't tell me your code name or identity. She just used your experience as an example when she reminded me that the adjacent 'Witch' path would change my gender because I chose the 'Hunter' path." "So, you really know..." At this moment, Franka wished she could find a sewer entrance to crawl into. Although she has adapted to her current body and overcome her own limitations, and even feels very natural and enjoys doing that thing with men, the prerequisite is that no one knows her previous gender. When she thought about the fact that Ciel knew that she, a man, was addicted to having sex with men, she couldn't help but have some dangerous thoughts: "The dead can keep secrets... The dead will forget about it... The dead will not laugh at me..." After a few seconds, Franka exhaled slowly and said: "You'd better forget about it. If you are not the 'Muggle' brother, I will make you disappear forever." At this point, she looked forward to the future to show her iron-blooded and true manly side: "I'm telling you, the 'Hunter' pathway also changes gender. This is information I obtained at a great cost. "Unlike the 'Witch', the 'Hunter' changes from a female to a male, probably at Sequence 4. At that time, I will switch to the 'Hunter' and restore my male body!" So... "Hunter" represents males, and "Witch" represents females? No wonder they are adjacent paths... Lumian calmed down and laughed: "When the time comes, how will you face those men you once had intimate relationships with?" Franka showed a proud smile and said the plan she had been thinking about for a long time: "I will give them the 'Witch' potion to drink. If they are already Beyonders and cannot jump to the 'Witch' path, I will find someone to make the 'Witch' Beyonder characteristics into magical items and put them on them. Then, hehe..." Madam, you are a bit perverted... Lumian didn't dare to provoke "Red Boots" anymore. This guy seems to be able to do anything! As he expected, Franca threatened him: "I emphasize again, you'd better forget about this matter and don't have any ideas about Janna, otherwise, I will arrest you and force you to drink the 'witch' potion! "Although Sequence 7 is not a node that can be jumped, it is just more dangerous, not necessarily half crazy or out of control." Imagining that scene, Lumian nodded quickly and promised solemnly: "You are my sister's friend, I will definitely help you keep the secret." Franka relaxed and asked Lumian: "What about 'Muggle'? Is she in Trier too? Is she a great beauty in real life?" Lumian remained silent for several seconds before speaking in a hoarse voice: “She passed away. "You should have seen those wanted posters. She was in that disaster..."

Franca opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word. She walked back to Lumian and patted his shoulder in a comforting gesture. After a while, Franka wiped her eyes and said: "After becoming a woman, my tear glands seem to have developed... "I really can't believe that 'Muggle' left us like this. Every time we get together, she is so gentle, dazzling, humorous, and kind. Even though I have never seen her true appearance, I believe she must be very beautiful, very beautiful..." Having calmed down, Lumian looked at Franca and said: "Ms. Hidden Blade, I would like you to keep this matter secret for the time being and not tell other members of your organization. "This may affect my investigation into the truth behind the disaster." Franka replied with a slightly nasal tone: "no problem." Lumian looked at Franka's lake-colored eyes, which were shimmering with light, and asked carefully: "How many times have you and my sister met in the past year?" "Once, what's wrong?" Franca asked in confusion. Lumian asked: "Has she shown any abnormal signs, or come into contact with any abnormal member?" "No." Franca shook her head. "It's just a normal gathering, sharing mystical knowledge, buying and selling items. She and I belong to different groups. She is in the 'Academy' and I am in the 'Temple'. Many of our gatherings do not overlap." Lumian didn't ask any more questions, and said, with the mentality of trying to get as much as possible: "Ms. Hidden Blade, I am studying the witchcraft notes left by my sister, but I don't understand a lot of them. Can I ask you for help?" "Sure." Franca gave her address. "I live on the top floor of the apartment building at 3 White Coat Street, Room 601. You can come find me during Jana's performance. Every night, as long as I'm not at Fountain Street or going around the various dance halls, I'm at home. Also, don't call me by my code name, just call me Franca." How come it seems like we are having an affair behind Janna's back... Lumian muttered inwardly and asked in confusion: "Franka, you have that secret organization behind you, and you are also quite powerful, so why would you join a gang?" Franka laughed and blinked her left eye deliberately: "secret." (End of this chapter)
