Chapter 240 I am guilty(1/2)
Chapter 738 I’m guilty
The effect of the healing potion and the burning of the original flames basically stopped the bleeding of Lumian's wounds, and there was even growth of flesh and skin and scabs in some places.
Lumian put on the "Lie" ear clips and tried to move the hideous gap between the chest and abdomen to a relatively unimportant position. While staring at the oil painting hanging on the rock wall, many thoughts flashed through his mind:
“As a ‘supervisor’, how easy is it for you to just leave the battle?
"Perle's body has been hiding in the dark just now to avoid possible accidents?
"But if she had done it herself, maybe we would have been solved long ago, and there would be no chance of creating an accident...
"Furthermore, Perle doesn't seem to care much about not capturing me alive. Doesn't the failure of the figure in her painting mean that the 'black-box transaction' she initiated failed to successfully fulfill the contract, and will inevitably suffer severe backlash in the future?
"She's not a scammer..."
Thinking of this, Lumian suddenly had a guess:
"Capturing me alive has always been just what Perle said, and there is no other circumstantial evidence..."
"This may indeed be a request made by the other party in the 'black-box transaction', but it is not the only request. There is a high probability that it is one of several requests, and it is the least important one. Therefore, after Perle created a special mirror world,
Immediately leave this oil painting behind, let the people in the painting deal with us, and go to other places.
"What she wants to complete is the most critical and important requirement?
"You can't completely believe what the 'broker' says...
"Judging from her tone just now, it seems that she succeeded, and she is very sure that the whirlpool is about to take shape, and it will not take long to involve everyone...
"It seems like she wasn't nearby at all. She just said a few words through the air through the connection between the person in the painting before she completely disappeared. She can't even be traced."
Lumian felt that his guess could well explain Perle's performance and some details in the previous battle, and this made him feel a little heavy.
If it is really what he thinks, the whirlpool of the "School of Truth" has indeed not been effectively stopped and is about to take shape!
What will happen after a while?
At this time, Mr. K walked to Lumian's side and also stared at the tattered oil painting.
He said hoarsely:
"I'm guilty.
"I failed to find out the plan of the 'School of Truth' in advance, which allowed problems to accumulate until they were about to explode."
As he spoke, the flesh and blood on Mr. K's shoulders squirmed, and two wet, pale-skinned, thin arms slowly grew out. The black robe, which had also had its sleeves cut off, could not be restored.
Without waiting for Lumian to respond, Mr. K turned his head and said:
“Every movement here will be noticed quickly, so it’s not suitable to stay for a long time.
"You come see me tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Lumian glanced at his companions who either hid in the shadows or were "psychologically invisible" and nodded slightly.
He also planned to move to a safe house as soon as possible to avoid being accidentally attacked by official extraordinary people.
After Mr. K "teleported" away, Franka, Jenna and Anthony walked out of their respective hiding places.
"Let's go back to the safe house now." Lumian said without hesitation.
Franka nodded slightly and said with regret and distress:
"The 'Arrogance Armor' has been exiled to nowhere. It would be a pity to lose it."
If the "Arrogance Armor" hadn't directly attacked the person in "Supervisor" Perle's painting just now, forcing her to change her life form, which indirectly caused the disappearance of several transformed Punishers, Lumian would still be able to figure out how to paint the islands.
The trick of the liar Monit is also difficult to survive the later stages - in that case, he will not only face the punishment of Perle, but he will also have to deal with Anthony's punisher.
For Lumian and others, the "Arrogance Armor" is a hero and a very beneficial sealed object, and no one wants it to be lost.
"If it were a human being and had intelligence, it could still find it by itself. Now..." Lumian sighed and grabbed Anthony's shoulder with his left hand.
At this moment, bright starlight emerged from the void and quickly outlined a dreamy double door.
The door opened, and the "Magician", "Judgement" and "Hermit" came out.
The "Magician" looked around, looked at Lumian who was missing an arm and looked miserable, and asked with a slightly strange expression:
"You were attacked?"
As she spoke, the hollow of the quarry, with only the light of the carbide lamp remaining, became a little darker, and an invisible curtain seemed to be drawn around it.
"Yes." Lumian, whose injuries were only relieved and did not die suddenly, briefly explained the whole thing.
"The one who attacked you was the figure in Perle's painting. Did she go to do other things?" Ms. "Magician" asked in confirmation.
"That should be it." Lumian replied.
The "Magician" looked at the "Judgment" and the "Hermit" and exchanged glances with each other, neither of them concealing their doubts.
After a brief silence, the "magician" did not explain, but the stars in his eyes gathered together, seeming to outline some pattern.
The drizzle of rain then fell and sprinkled on Lumian's body, allowing his wounds to heal completely.
Franka and others, who were also moistened by the rain, washed away their fatigue.
This is very similar to the ability that "Mrs. Night" used in her dream... Lumian had a certain association with it.
Ms. "Magician" nodded and said:
"Write me the detailed story tomorrow."
After saying that, she disappeared with "Judgment" and "Hermit".
As the surrounding darkness faded, Lumian found that he and others had returned to the safe house in the administrative area - where Jenna had summoned Ms. Judgment's messenger.
"Ms. Magician and the others are very suspicious that we were attacked by Perle's painting." Anthony put away the blank painting album and expressed his feelings just now.
Lumian nodded and said:
"The doubtful thing shouldn't be that Perle attacked us. It's not surprising that the 'supervisor' with the core of 'black-box trading' would do anything."
"What is the doubt?" Janna and Franka couldn't think of an answer.
Anthony tried to analyze:
"The doubt is indeed not that Perle attacked us, but that we were attacked by Perle.
"They seem to believe that we will not be attacked by Perle. It doesn't matter whether Perle has this intention or takes actions to realize the idea."
Lumian and others fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, Franka said "ah".
While looking at Lumian and others, she slowly pulled her hand out of the "traveler's bag" in surprise:
"The 'Arrogance Armor' is in there, it's back!"
Ms. "Magician" helped to retrieve it? As soon as Lumian had this idea, he noticed Franka's movements.
He immediately shouted:
"stop!"
We can't let Franka take out the "Arrogance Armor"!
This is a cramped interior, and here I am!
Franka's expression froze, and she stopped her elbow in time.
…………
In a mirror world composed of dark and void tunnels.
"Supervisor" Perle is constantly moving from one mirror to another, looking for the final destination.
Her expression was quite relaxed, and she was happy that this disaster actually promoted the formation of the whirlpool.
At the other end of the dark and empty tunnel, a bright ball of wool quietly followed her, rolling forward silently, leaving behind a line hidden in the dark.
…………
The next morning, after sending the letter to Ms. "Magician", Lumian went to the headquarters of "Psychic" magazine and met Mr. K in the basement.
Both of them have limbs intact.
Mr. K, who was wearing a huge hood and a black robe, didn't pay attention to this matter and said to Lumian in a hoarse voice:
"Follow me to a place."
"What are you going to do?" After last night's cooperation, Lumian's attitude became more and more relaxed when facing Mr. K.
Mr. K said as if nodding:
"First, I want to repent for what happened this time. Second, I want to tell the Lord through the idol that you have grown up and can serve as His messenger. He will make arrangements at the appropriate time. Believe in the Lord and believe in the Lord with all your heart."
.”
Just going to a place where there is a statue of the "True Creator"? That's okay... It would be troublesome to really go to see God... Lumian bowed his head humbly and said:
"It's my pleasure."
Mr. K walked up to him, grabbed his arm, took him into the spirit world, and started "teleporting" him.
To be continued...
