Chapter 403: Diverting Troubles (Thanks to Xueyue Huashi and Zhuri Yiran for rewarding the Silver Alliance) The street lights outside the window had already been turned on. Franca looked across at Browns Soren and said: "I've already told you my name. I live in the market area and I'm one of the main leaders of the Savoy gang. That's all I can say. You can do whatever you want with me. Anyway, I have only two goals. One is to track down the 'Supreme Bliss Society' and eliminate the hidden dangers. The other is to take the opportunity to experience the women's happy party." When she said the last sentence, Franka smiled without disguising it. The strategy she adopted today was the "sincerity-driven" strategy she had discussed with Lumian. As long as the "witch" of the Red House Café took the initiative to contact her, she would "confess" her purpose and test whether the other party was involved with the "Society of Bliss". As for some details, Franca even consulted with Anthony Reid, the "psychologist", to avoid overdoing it, which would have been better off not doing it. According to Anthony Reid's opinion, she was "frank" but not completely frank. If she said in one breath, "I used to be a man, but now I'm a 'Witch of Pleasure'. I'm lurking in the Savoy Party in order to join the 'Iron Cross' and change back to my original appearance in the future", not only would she not be able to gain people's trust, but would make the other party wary and think that she was too frank and must have other purposes. Therefore, she only revealed her apparent identity and main purpose, and hid the rest in the details, allowing the other party to understand and investigate on their own. Information obtained through hard work is definitely more believable than information spoken directly! Browns Soran stared into Franka's eyes and said: "With the strength you have shown, why would you want to be the leader of a gang?" "For something very important, I believe you would do the same." Franka answered half-heartedly, and hinted that she had also recognized the other party's divine path, approximate sequence and original situation. At this point, she raised her hand and stroked the silver-white "lie" clipped on her right earlobe, and added with a smile:

"I forgot to tell you that this is not my real appearance. I have done a good job of disguising myself. Otherwise, why did you lose me last time?" Browns glanced at the silver-white earring and nodded in understanding. She did not ask about Franca's identity and background any more, but instead inquired about the "Society of Bliss". Franka could see that this "witch" attached great importance to the women's parties at the Red House Cafe and refused to be contacted by any organization or individual with ill intentions. You wouldn't really treat some of the participants of the happy party as your lovers and develop feelings for them, would you? If you continue like this, you will have problems sooner or later. Having feelings is a good thing, but looking for feelings at such a happy party is a sign of a bad brain... Is it really impossible to completely separate the soul from the body? More communication between the souls will lead to the desire for physical union, and more physical union will inevitably shorten the distance between the souls... As a bystander, Franca criticized Browns Soren's state based on her own knowledge and experience in two life experiences, and this also led to some philosophical thinking. This allowed her to vaguely summarize her first rule of playing the role of "Witch of Joy". She did not hide anything. She suspected that the Witch Cult was trying to plot against the Sauron family, so they developed such a slightly "innocent" and emotional "witch". At the same time, she explained the general situation and ability characteristics of the Bliss Society. Hearing the name "sex addict" and the corresponding symptoms, Browns Soren looked solemn and became more alert. Franca decided to quit while she was ahead, drank the rest of the dessert wine, slowly stood up, put on a blue bowler hat, and walked out of the Red House Café. As she got on the rented carriage and headed back to the market area, her mind raced as she analyzed the possible loopholes that might arise: "Janna must move out. No, her living in my apartment can better prove my true gender. But she must be told not to show her abilities as an 'assassin' and 'instigator' recently... "The problem with Charles is that if Browns Soren and Puif Soren meet frequently, they might find out that the generous son of a wealthy businessman is actually the gang leader who dominates the market area, thus exposing the purpose of the Iron Cross. Well, Browns is a member of the Witch Cult and is not on the same side as the Soren family. She is likely to conceal this matter and take advantage of it... "Browns is full of emotions right now. Is this to prepare for the 'pain' of Sequence 5? "..." ………… Market District, Nightingale Street. Lumian was "teleported" directly back to his safe house. While waiting for Franca to return the "lie" and return him to his original appearance, he thought about the rumors about the blood-stained bread: "It would be fine if we found out at the beginning, but now it has spread and hundreds or thousands of people believe it, so it is very difficult to trace the source. Moreover, even if we find it, that person's head is probably full of false information and he can't even say who told him... It is really difficult to find a 'psychologist' who can hypnotize... "The rumors about Mandrake that Lano Bruch heard seem a bit problematic..."

After thinking it over, Lumian decided not to worry about it and report it directly to Ms. "Magician" to see if he could ask Ms. Susie or even Ms. "Justice", a high-ranking "psychologist", to trace the source of the rumor. They are experts at similar operations, with all the abilities of "I've Got a Friend", only stronger! Matters involving "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun" are public tasks of the "Tarot Club". Similarly, for another clue, Lumian also planned to trouble the Major Arcanas, because with his strength, he could not investigate it at all. He felt that since "Loki" was lurking in the Eighth Bureau, it was possible that he had secretly contaminated some of his colleagues or that some problems had been discovered by his colleagues, which were all clues. But with the experience of fighting against the "Master of Secret Puppetry", Lumian no longer felt as confused as before when thinking back to the situation in the "Alone" bar and the performance in the puppet theater in the basement. He just felt it was gloomy, dark, and a little scary. He could feel more clearly the real danger hidden in various details. He suspected that most of the audience at the puppet theater were "secret puppets," which was in line with the name of the bar: "Alone"! There is only one living person, and the rest are secret puppets! Of course, this is an exaggeration. There are obviously several members of the Eighth Bureau serving as bartenders and waiters in the "Alone" bar, such as "Loki" and Leah. But no matter what, the Beyonder who can manipulate a theater puppet is far stronger than "Loki", and is definitely more than Sequence 5. He is very likely a demigod of the "Fortune Teller" path. No matter how confident Lumian was, he didn't think he could find any clues in a bar protected by a demigod, and he didn't even dare to try. Only the Major Arcana cards of the Tarot Club can complete an in-depth investigation in this direction! Lumian did not hesitate any longer, spread out the letter paper, and reported his work to Ms. "Magician". When the Doll Messenger was summoned, he glanced at Lumian and said: "Do you like dressing up?" Is that because I have a brand new face now? Lumian smiled and said: "It's a necessity of life. You can't be recognized when you do certain things." The "Doll" messenger nodded slowly: "No wonder you can't tell that I'm different every day." Lumian looked at the pale golden skirt of the "doll" messenger, not knowing whether to lie or be honest. How is it different from before? Seeing that Lumian did not answer, as if to agree, the "Doll" Messenger grabbed the letter and said sharply: "My hair is smoother, my skin is more elastic, my skirt is new..." The voice gradually faded away and disappeared into the candlelight along with the figure. Lumian sighed and said silently to himself: "Perhaps the more familiar someone is, the less I'll pay attention to his small changes..." It was like Franka was so relaxed in front of him that she didn't bother to think about many things. If you have to use your brain at high speed and be extremely tense when facing anyone, you will have mental problems sooner or later. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lumian left Nightingale Street and knocked on the door of Apartment 3 at 601 White Coat Street. It was Jana who opened the door. She was stunned for a moment and said: "you are?" Lumian sneered: "You still can't hear my footsteps?" "Fuck, your temperament that makes others want to beat you up will make your disguise ineffective!" Janna knew that Lumian had a magical item that could change his appearance.

Lumian walked into the living room and looked around: "Where's Franka?" "She hasn't come back from the Red House Cafe yet." Janna already knew that Franka was going to contact members of the Witch Sect, and she also heard her companions mention the secret organization's malicious intentions towards female "assassins." Lumian touched the "mirror substitute" of Franka in his arms, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with it, he sat down on the single sofa. This was Janna's usual position. Janna rolled her eyes at him, sat on the armrest of the chair next to her, and asked thoughtfully: "How come you have so many new enemies? How many enemies do you have?" Lumian had previously mentioned the disaster in Cordu Village, so he skipped over the previous events and simply said: "The 'necromancy' that caused my sister's problems was bought from an organization called 'April Fools', and they deliberately sold it to my sister. My current goal is to find their core members and execute them one by one." Jenna pursed her lips and didn't ask for details so as not to upset Lumian. "Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked seriously. Lumian thought for a moment and said: "Your efforts to become a 'witch' are the greatest help to me." The core members of "April Fools' Day" are not only powerful, but also have no bottom line. Only after Janna becomes a "witch" and can act as a "mirror substitute" herself, can she participate in hunting down those bastards. Jenna cursed inwardly in anger, but she didn't try to show off. She looked at Lumian quietly for a few seconds and said: "I feel like you're more tired than before..." Lumian smiled subconsciously: “But it’s also more motivated.” "But isn't this too tense? Franka said that a string that is always tense is prone to breaking. The best way is to alternate between tensing and relaxing." Janna said a little worriedly. Lumian smiled self-deprecatingly: "But they wouldn't let me go, and even decided to kill me with their own hands." Seeing that Janna didn’t quite understand, he added grimly: "Even though they knew I was a wanted criminal, they didn't report me to the authorities. It's obvious that they wanted me to stay in the market area until they perfected their plan and made preparations."
