"ha!"
The mark on Lumian's right chest flashed, his spirit body shook, and a yellowish light flew out of his mouth.
It instantly hit "Guillaume Benet" who was wearing a dark shirt and black trousers, causing the other person to faint directly and fall to the ground with a surprised, stunned and confused expression.
"The art of humming"!
Fake! Lumian narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene, and made a judgment without being particularly disappointed.

This is definitely not the priest. Let's not mention whether Guillaume Benet, a Sequence 5 "life hunter", might have been knocked unconscious by the "Humha Art" on the spot. The only thing he showed when he was attacked was the incomprehension and confusion. Lumian suspected that the "double" was originally an ordinary person and had no understanding of the world of supernatural abilities and occultism.
Not caring about dealing with the stunned housekeeper, Lumian turned around and ran out of the small living room.
As he ran, he shouted in a low voice: "Go 'Dill'!"
Franka's figure wearing a hood and a black robe with leather armor was outlined in front of Lumian. "
Lumian grabbed her shoulder and made the black mark on her right shoulder flash with light.
In the chaotic layers of pure color blocks, the two people appeared on the balcony at the end of the sixth floor of the "Dill" brothel.
—When he sent Jenna here before and told Albus that he could leave, Lumian was already "familiar" with and remembered the coordinates here.
Seeing her companions arriving, Jenna, dressed as a female mercenary, walked out of the shadows, pointed to room 602, and said in a lowered voice: "It's not over yet."
"Fuck, it's so exciting!"
"Is this the second round?" Lumian chuckled.
According to Albus, the man in room 602 should have vented his anger once before he had time to have afternoon tea, but now he has started again.
"Isn't the soundproofing pretty good?" Franka turned her head curiously and listened to the noise in room 602.
While Jenna watched Lumian reach out and wipe his face, turning into an ordinary "Dill" brothel waiter, she curled her lips and said:
"The woman inside screamed every now and then.
"Fuck, does that nymphomaniac priest still have sadistic tendencies?"

As an underground singer, Jenna frequently goes to bars and dance halls. She has created a hot and unrestrained image. She has no lack of knowledge about similar things. Moreover, she has a good relationship with Franka, who is in charge of several major dance halls. What a dancer sees and hears is much richer than that of a normal girl. Therefore, although she has no practical experience, her breadth of knowledge and depth of theory are not bad.
Franka understood immediately and said "tsk" while trying to control her volume.
Lumian, who had completed the transformation using "Nese's Face", looked at Franka, wanting to borrow the glowing fluorescent powder and sprinkle it on the corridor outside room 602.
This is to deal with Guillaume Benet's "invisibility" ability!
As far as Lumian knows, that kind of "invisibility" does not have the effect of eliminating traces and smells. During the battle, if Guillaume Bennet hides his figure and escapes to the corridor, the fluorescent powder will make him stay The distinctive footprints pointed the direction for Lumian's attack.
But after thinking about it, Lumian felt that the fluorescent powder was too obvious, making it easy for Guillaume Benet to notice the abnormality in advance and use his strange ability to escape before he launched a surprise attack.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Franka:
"You 'invisibly' hide in the corridor, making the target's doorway covered with invisible spider silk from the ground to the ceiling."
In this way, any "stealth" will not work, and "slow flight" will also be entangled!
"No problem." Frankie pulled up her black hood, stepped forward, and entered the corridor.
Her figure then disappeared, as if the snowman had been melted by the sun.
Seven or eight seconds later, Lumian felt his legs being caressed by wisps of light wind.
He was startled for a moment, then realized:
"This is Franka's invisible spider thread telling me that she is ready.
"After this man became the 'Pleasure Witch', everything she did gave me the feeling that she was teasing... Also, she had just been promoted and could not fully control the power of the potion, so she would be affected before she knew it. …”

While mumbling silently, Lumian turned his head and said to Jenna:
"You hide in the shadows here. If Guillaume Benet escapes from here, you can give him a shot or complete an assassination. If he fails, retreat immediately.
"If he runs from other directions, you don't have to worry about it."
"Okay." Jenna already had some knowledge and didn't push forward to ask for more participation.
She felt that with her sequence and strength, she could carry out an assassination when the conditions were right.
After arranging his companions, Lumian turned around and once again set his sights on the wooden door of Room 602.
He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, calming down a little.
After doing this, Lumian carried a back chair from the balcony into the corridor.
Taking the initiative to avoid the invisible spider thread, he came to a place far away from room 602 and placed the chair in the empty space.
The next second, he lightly patted the back of the chair, letting red fire flow out of his palms, and swam to every corner of the chair like a snake-like creature.
At the same time that the armchair was set on fire, Lumian started to jog, running outside 602 without concealing his movements, and banged and banged on the wooden door.
"do what?"
A suppressed and angry voice came from room 602, which seemed to be at a critical moment.
"Fire! Fire!" Lumian shouted in panic.
"Raised by sows!" the man in the room cursed in a Reston accent.
ADVERTISEMENT
This was accompanied by a very obvious movement out of bed to the "Hunter".
Two or three seconds later, the door opened slightly, revealing a man wearing an iron-colored half-face mask, a white shirt, and his lower body was bare.
Also hanging on his body was a brown-haired girl wearing a gauze nightgown.
Damn it, I can’t even bear to separate. Franka, who was in the invisible state diagonally across from her, saw this scene and cursed in a funny way.
Lumian was highly concentrated. As soon as he saw the man suspected of Guillaume Benet appearing and looking at the chair with smoke and fire coming out, he immediately opened his mouth: "Ha!"
Another yellowish light flew out, piercing through and enveloping the man wearing an iron-colored half-face mask and the girl wearing a gauze nightgown.
The man suspected of being Guillaume Bennet unconsciously showed shock and panic in his eyes, and he obviously had some understanding of extraordinary power.
His eyes immediately blurred, he lost his energy, and fainted, half a beat slower than the girl.
In the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, Lumian seemed to have fallen into a dream:
Impossible. As a "life hunter", Guillaume Bennet cannot be directly knocked unconscious by the "Humph Technique" of the "contracted person"...
Is he fake?
The one at 50 Vincent Street is obviously fake too!
Where really?
Lumian quickly came to his senses, squatted down, and lifted off the man's iron mask.
The face under the mask was extremely familiar to him. It was indeed Guillaume Benet's face with a slightly hooked nose. With a calm face, Lumian pushed away the half-naked girl who was pressing on the target man, and pulled the white shirt directly open.

The next second, he saw three black marks that looked like signatures on the upper body of the unconscious man, one on the left chest, the right chest and the abdomen.
This is not Guillaume Benet!
Guillaume Benet has more than three contracts, at least a dozen!
Are they all fake? Are they all stand-ins? Lumian clenched his fists tightly, and there seemed to be invisible flames burning in his eyes.
He stood up, dragged the man who looked exactly like Guillaume Benet back to room 602, then found a quilt, wrapped the unconscious girl, and threw her into the corridor.
At this time, Franka also discovered that the prey seemed to be fake again, so she exited the invisibility state, condensed ice, and extinguished the flame on the armchair.
When she moved the girl in the corridor to an empty room nearby, Lumian stretched out his right hand and grasped the throat of the giver of destiny.
With a clicking sound, he directly broke the opponent's neck, causing him to lose his life in a coma.
Immediately afterwards, he closed the wooden door, pulled out the ceremonial silver dagger, and simply consecrated it, creating a "spiritual wall" covering Room 602.
Then, he danced the "dance of solicitation", using this method to do preliminary and purposeful channeling.
The reason why he didn't ask Franka for help was because he didn't know what weird creatures the deceased had contracted, which would probably bring corresponding pollution. Only he, who had long been the giver of destiny, would not be affected during the channeling process. .
As for the poison and the last few "truth serum" obtained from the "Blissful Society", he intended to use them on the real priest.
Diagonally opposite 50 Vincent Street.
Climbing to the second floor of the building, hiding in a concealed area, and monitoring the target, Anthony Reed saw a beautiful lady in a light green dress hurried out with the valet, maid and housekeeper, and the car was transferred from the rear in advance. The carriage that arrived at the main entrance drove toward the end of Vincent Street.
Anthony did not follow it rashly, but took down all the details of the carriage and horses.

In the crazy and twisted dance, the spirit of the deceased separated from the body and floated into the air, looking at Lumian with hatred and confusion.
Lumian stabbed out his own blood and used commands to let him possess his body.
The flames of desire and hunger burned in his body at the same time. He remained unmoved and sensed his extra brain: "Summon the Abyss Demonic Flower...
"Stealth...
"Transfiguration'...fuck!"
As soon as he made the distinction, Lumian couldn't help but curse.
He probably understands what's going on!
The one at No. 50 Vincent Street should be the product of the "Art of Replacement", while the one at the "Dill" brothel was "cultivated" by Guillaume Benet based on his own negative influence characteristics with the help of the "Transfiguration" ability. "The stand-in came out.
He is on guard against others looking for him based on those negative influences!
- "Transformation" is a contractual ability that can change a person's appearance, body and temperament, and has
For a certain anti-divination effect, the price that needs to be paid is "one's own face", and the negative impact is "the desire to abuse others".
Lumian calmed down and recalled the appearance and behavior of the real Guillaume Benet in his mind, thereby resonating with the memories that impressed the spirit of the dead most deeply and looking for clues.
———Door-by-door
The waiter looked at the large handful of gold coins and the banknotes that seemed to smell the special scent of ink, his eyes straightened involuntarily, and he instinctively held his breath.
ADVERTISEMENT
After a few seconds, he looked around hurriedly and saw that there were no people around, so he calmed down a little. "
"Give it all to me?" The waiter swallowed hard.
Albus directly threw a gold coin worth 5 fils gold over, let it land accurately in the palm of the waiter, and then said with a smile:
"It depends on whether the information you provide is useful, but no matter what, you can get another 20 Firkin."
The waiter gently bit the gold coin in his hand, looked back at the road he came from, and said in a lowered voice:
"The southerner in Room 2 on the 6th floor is just like you. Every time he comes, he always looks for the most famous socialite. He likes to order food in advance and have us deliver it to the room every half an hour."
Southerners, looking for the most famous socialites, like to order food in advance, room 602... Albus was not stingy, and threw two more 10 fil gold coins engraved with warships to the waiter.
Next, he took advantage of the busiest time of City Wall Street yet and took advantage of everyone being lazy under the afternoon sun to sneak to the sixth floor and hide in the balcony at the end of the corridor.
In less than ten minutes, the waiter in charge of delivering food took a steam-powered mechanical elevator, pushed a silver-white metal dining cart, arrived in front of room 602, and rang the doorbell gently.
Albus stood up quickly, found a place on the balcony where he could see the door of 602, and cast his gaze over.
The person who opened the door was a man less than 1.7 meters tall, wearing an iron-black half-face mask, a white shirt and light-colored boxer shorts.
Taking off his pants but not his clothes...in order to cover up the tattoo marks on his upper body? The more Albus looked, the more he felt that the man in room 602 was Guillaume Benet on the wanted warrant.
Without "disturbing" the other party, he sat back on the white fence chair in the balcony and took out a gray, thick-haired mouse from his pocket.
This is one of "Animal Tamer" Crystal's pets!
Lumian found the "mouse" in order to use his pets that could simply communicate to complete the communication between team members more covertly and effectively.
ADVERTISEMENT
Of course, this must rely on Christo as the transit point and "translator".
Albus patted the mouse on the head and, as agreed in advance, made a gesture with his thumb and index finger clasped in a circle and the other three fingers raised.
This means finding prey that is highly suspicious of the target.
The mouse squeaked, jumped out of Albus's hand, and looked for its owner who was hiding in a nearby beer hall.
After learning from "Mouse" Christo's pet parrot that members of the "Iron Cross" had found the parish priest, Lumian fell into a brief state of shock and confusion.
If they really found Guillaume Benet, then who did I see?
If the person in the house at 50 rue Vincent was indeed Guillaume Benet, then where did the fakes they saw come from?
As his thoughts flashed, Lumian suddenly thought of a possibility: "The Art of Replacement"!
Guillaume Benet held the "Art of Replacement" ceremony!
That was one of the five special ritual magics that Lumian obtained during the "Mendicant Monk" stage. Obviously, the priest who had already become a Sequence 5 "Life Hunter" would also do it.
Its function is to allow the recipient to realize the danger, find another person to live in his name for a period of time, gain genuine or false recognition from the people around him, establish enough occult connections, and then perform a ceremony to complete the replacement.
If the "Substitution Technique" is successful, in the eyes of others, the substitute will be exactly the same as the original self. Although his self-perception and actual performance will be affected to a certain extent, he will generally still be his original self.
When the substitute is engulfed by a foreseen disaster, the recipient who uses the "Substitution Technique" will have his destiny changed and completely escape the corresponding danger.
Of course, that's assuming the "disaster" doesn't know it's a stand-in when it arrives.
This would be quite effective for other Beyonders, but Lumian, who knew the existence of the "Substitution Technique" and what it was like, would not be deceived as long as he thought of this.
ADVERTISEMENT
For him, the most critical issue now is:
Which side is the real Guillaume Benet, and which side is the substitute?
The forces currently organized by Lumian must be gathered together to hope to severely injure the priest and capture him without much damage. Therefore, he must choose one side to attack first, and cannot attack at the same time.
-Gardner Martin only promised to help find "prey" and did not promise to provide other help. Because of this, most of the formal members and peripheral members sent by the "Iron-Blooded Cross" are low-sequence, even ordinary people .
Of course, if Lumian really goes to ask Gardner Martin, the other party might agree with the idea of buying people's hearts, but the problem is that it will take several hours for the "Iron-Blooded Cross" to mobilize enough power to come over. Ji Yao M. Bene is not an iron man, and the courtesan is not a "happy witch". How could it last for so long? He will definitely leave early.
Which choice will Guillaume Bennet make? Let the substitute stay at home, attract firepower, and go out to fool around by himself, or let the substitute go out, show his characteristics, and "kill" the danger outside the home? Lumian feels that these two There are all possibilities and they cannot be truly ruled out.
He thought for a moment, looked at the green and white parrot and said:
"Go to 'Red Boots' Franca and ask her to divine who is the real Guillaume Benet at No. 50 Vincent Street and the Guillaume Benet over there and who is fake."
The parrot looked at Lumian with a look that looked like a fool and said, "I'm just a parrot."
What I said was too complicated for it to understand, and it was difficult to remember it completely? After a few thoughts flashed through Lumian's mind, he quickly made a decision:
"Take me to 'Red Boots' Franka, no, take me to Christo first."
There is still a certain amount of time, and the man at 50 Vincent Street cannot escape. The team responsible for the operation can meet briefly and briefly exchange information.
Our side is hiding in the dark, and the enemy is operating in the open. As long as they are not disturbed, we can wait for a while. Of course, it must end before Guillaume Benet, who is fooling around with the famous socialite, vents his desires. After all, he is following a person. There is a risk of exposure to people, especially if you are following a priest who has a lot of strange and unknown abilities.
In an alley near City Wall Street.
The afternoon sun shone on the mostly torn down barricades, making the wind want to stop and rest for a while.

Franka changed into the assassin "suit", Jenna dressed as a female mercenary, Anthony Reed, who was still wearing military green clothes and trousers, and Lumian who was wearing a peaked cap, black vest, and white shirt met In this quiet, deserted place.
Lumian briefly mentioned the situation. Due to time constraints, he did not go into detail about the "substitution technique", which was collectively referred to as the witchcraft of creating a living double.
Before he could ask, Franka had already taken out a mirror, caressing the surface while reciting a spell.
Soon, water shimmered in the mirror, and an old voice came out:
"It's all true." 62
It's all true... Franka turned her head sideways and looked at Lumian in surprise.
The witchcraft of creating a double is very powerful. The appearance and fate of the created double are the same as the real one, which is difficult to distinguish by ordinary divination methods!
It's all true... Lumian had expected this answer and was already thinking of another way just now.
Seeing his silence for a moment, Franka took a breath and said hesitantly:
"Yes, do you need me to ask someone else?"
She planned to ask the one with the most accurate divination results for the answer.
But in that case, she must answer a question in front of Jenna, Lumian and Anthony Reid that may cause her social death.
She felt that the person would probably ask, "Do you often think about doing that kind of thing with Jenna?"
This makes it difficult for her to get along with Jenna in the future!
Lumian shook his head and said:

"No, I have a way."
He immediately said to Jian Na:
"You hide in the shadow diagonally opposite room 602 of 'Dill' and pay close attention to the actions of Guillaume Benet.
"If he is finished and ready to leave, but we haven't arrived yet, don't follow him rashly. Just observe his whereabouts from a distance and know which street he probably went to."
"Okay." Jian Na nodded and rehearsed in her mind what she should do.
Lumian turned to look at Franka and Anthony Reid:
"Let's go to No. 50 Vincent Street together. I'll go directly to 'visit' Guillaume Benet. Franca, you follow me invisibly and try not to make any move before confirming the authenticity.
"Anthony, you stay outside. If Guillaume Benet is fake and we rush to Dill, you can secretly monitor the hostess there to see where she goes. After that, if Dill ' Guillaume Benet successfully escaped, which will be an important clue for our follow-up tracking.
"If the man at 50 Vincent Street is true, there was a fierce battle and you quietly came in to provide assistance."
Franca has no objection to this arrangement. She knows that Lumian has "teleportation". Once it is confirmed that the Vincent Street man is fake, the main force of the battle can get in front of the real and fake Guillaume to "exchange news". Rush to the other side.
Anthony analyzed the risks he needed to take and said there was no problem.
50 Vincent Street, near the off-white three-story building.
After Lumian saw Franka "invisible" directly without any materials, he raised his right hand and wiped his face.
He instantly transformed into a man in his thirties wearing a black uniform and inspector epaulettes.
"The Face of Nisse"!

After confirming his situation, Lumian walked to the target building and rang the doorbell directly.
The person who opened the door was a man dressed as a butler. He looked at Lumian and asked doubtfully:
"Officer, what's the matter?"
"There is a missing homeless man case involving this street. I want to meet your master." Lumian began to make up random things.
The butler's expression changed slightly:
"Officer, please wait a moment while I go ask our master."
After a while, the butler returned to the door and said to Lumian:
"Officer, please go to the small living room on the first floor."
Lumian nodded lightly and followed the butler into No. 50 Vincent Street.
The living room here is spacious. The blue-gray cat is huddled in the corner, the bird in the cage is chirping non-stop, and the black dog that looks like a hound is squatting in the aisle, watching the strangers who come through the door warily.
After bypassing the set of elegant sofas, the housekeeper turned into the small living room at the back. A man with black hair, blue eyes, a slightly hooked nose, wearing a dark shirt and black trousers was sitting on a single sofa. He was stroking the head of a big brown dog with a leisurely and slightly arrogant attitude.
"Officer, what's the matter?" the man slowly stood up and asked.
It's him, it's him, Guillaume Benet! The parish priest Guillaume Benet! After Lumian saw the appearance of the male master clearly, his eyes narrowed, and he took a few steps forward, closing the distance between the two parties. Within five meters.
Then, he opened his mouth directly and made a sound:
"ha!"
