Chapter 848 Project Fishing


    848 Project Fishing


    Harrison?


    He''s still in Trier?


    007, howe you haven''t found him yet? Is your Eternal zing Sun Church even capable?


    As Franca''s spirits lifted, feelings of joy and excitement welled up inside her.


    She had mobilized members of the Curly-Haired Baboons Research Society to keep an eye out for Harrison worldwide, but it turned out the target was still in Trier. Of course, he may have just returned recently.


    While inwardly criticizing the Purifiers'' work capabilities, Franca also sensed something unusual about this situation.


    She lowered her voice and said thoughtfully, "Recently, Jasmine has appeared in Underground Trier twice, and people in the vicinity have encountered Harrison both times. This can''t be a coincidence.


    "Is Harrison coborating with the Mirror People?"


    Anthony ate thest cream puff and took a sip of coffee before saying, "This can actually be deduced.


    "Mr. Hanged Man said that Harrison is likely to appear in ces closely rted to death, darkness, dusk, and decay, like the Samaritan Women''s Spring deep in the fourth level of the underground catbs. Based on the information we currently have, the appearance of the Samaritan Women''s Spring originated from the War of the Four Emperors, from Fourth Epoch Trier.


    "So, Harrison has a motive to open the seal and enter Fourth Epoch Trier, which aligns with the Mirror People''s goals. Although it''s unclear how they got in touch, don''t forget that the Mirror People have deep cooperation with those Brokers."


    "Those Brokers are more annoying than buzzing flies." Franca sighed sincerely.


    She then turned to Anthony and said, "You can go take care of your own business now. I''ll discuss with Jenna and Lumian how to use this to find Harrison."


    "Alright." Anthony had already done his best in gathering intelligence.


    After saying goodbye to Anthony, Franca went straight back to Rue Orosai.


    Not wanting to expose Lumian''s current residence, she nned to use a summoning messenger to have her twopanionse over themselves.


    I''ll summon Rabbit Chasel first. What reward should I give it this time? I can''t let Jenna have her way; I feel like she''s training Rabbit Chasel in a very dangerous direction... Franca thought for a few seconds, then turned her gaze to the coffee table.


    Therey a book-after several months of dy, the sixth volume of Fors Wall''s The Adventurer series was finally out!


    This volume was titled "The Adventurer 6: The Future" Franca had just bought it yesterday and hadn''t read it yet. She had only flipped through the afterword, seeing that the great writer Fors Wall said she had originally wanted to name this volume "Admiral of Stars" or "Biologist", but ultimately abandoned these ideas based on a sudden inspiration.


    Soon, Franca summoned Rabbit Chasel.


    Behind this coolly dressed Rabbit of Knowledge, a timid rabbit-shaped Spirit Body wearing boxing gloves faintly appeared in the void.


    Tsk, putting on a show, are we? Franca smiled as she handed the letter paper and "The Adventurer 6" to Rabbit Chasel, instructing, "Remember to return it to me after reading."


    It wasn''t that she couldn''t part with such a book, but maintaining a give-and-take rtionship with Rabbit Chasel would help build a good rapport. In the future, she might be able to ask it to introduce other special "talents" from the Rabbits of Knowledge who could also serve as messengers.


    Rabbit Chasel''s eyes lit up. "Absolutely no problem!"


    After sending off Rabbit Chasel, Franca summoned Penitent Baynfel.


    Afterpleting these two tasks, shey down in the armchair and pondered her next moves.


    I need to notify 007 in the telegram group tonight...


    Should I try to contact Professor and the others, mobilize the power of the Mystery Pryers to search for Harrison together?


    Sigh, now we''ve only confirmed Harrison is in Trier,cking substantial clues to investigate. We can''t even go all out even if we wanted to...


    We can''t just wander around Underground Trier every day, waiting for the right opportunity, can we?


    Magic Mirror Divination can''t provide answers...


    Hmm, I still need to report this quickly. Mr. Hanged Man and the other Major Arcana card holders are also looking for Harrison themselves...


    Franca sat up abruptly and continued her busy work.


    During this process, she also contemted her own situation.


    If we still can''t find him, I might end up digesting some of my Affliction potion...


    Well, after dealing with the Mirror Person Nik, I''ve already digested a bit. The first rule of the Demoness of Affliction''s acting principle is quite easy to summarize: Bring pain to the target, not just physical, but also mental.


    The second acting principle should be closely rted to oneself. ls pain the foundation of a Demoness?


    I should strive to summarize all the acting principles soon, digest the potion quickly. Lumian is already preparing for the ritual to advance to Sequence 4 Iron-blooded Knight, I can''t let him leave me too far behind...


    Just as she thought of this, Franca felt the wind at the open window pause for a second.


    Then, Jenna''s figure quickly materialized.


    This newly advanced Demoness of Pleasure hadn''t made herself ugly through makeup techniques, but had adjusted the "direction" of her charm''s diffusion- she wore a ck robe, concealing her attractive figure. At the same time, she used makeup to give her skin a sickly pale look, as if she hadn''t seen sunlight for a long time. Her lips were painted very red, forming a stark contrast with her skin...n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    This made Jenna look more like a Vampire, with her charm mainly concentrated on the intricateness of her features and overall beauty, rather than sexual attraction.


    So it can be done this way... Not bad, Vampire Jenna is beautiful too... Franca smiled as she examined her for a few moments until Jenna hesitated for a moment before asking, "What important intelligence did you obtain?"


    Franca sat back in the armchair, crossed her legs, and exined the Harrison situation in detail.


    Jenna, already seated in the single sofa, wasn''t as excited as Franca, after all, she knew too little to experience that deep andplex emotion.


    She pondered for a moment and said, "At this point in time, Harrison is suspected to be cooperating with the Mirror People... Is this also part of the vortex?"


    "It''s possible." Franca nodded heavily and mumbled, "Why hasn''t Lumian arrived yet?"


    "He went out," Jenna paused before saying, "Probably."


    Franca blurted out in surprise, "How do you know?"


    Jenna smiled and answered, "He told me yesterday that his first step in taming Ludwig was to assign him homework rted to food, which required Ludwig to go out andplete on his own. Hmm... ording to you, it''s like creating a food guide for Trier Meat Pie."


    "Gradually ramping up the gaslighting, huh..." Franca muttered, "Did you discuss this when you left yesterday? He ns to follow Ludwig?"


    "He''s afraid Ludwig might converge with other believers of the Devouring Whirlpool, and Lugano is only Sequence 7, unable to stop it." Jenna first briefly exined Lumian''s concerns, then her eyes flickered slightly as she said, "This should only be one of the reasons."


    "Are there other reasons?" Franca tucked her hair and tried to understand the Hunter''s countless hidden intentions.


    A smile appeared on Jenna''s face.


    "Yes, although he didn''t say it, that''s what I think. His hidden purpose should be to engage in his favorite activity: Fishing!"


    Franca was enlightened. "Using Ludwig to fish for other believers of the Devouring Whirlpool?"


    Jenna nodded and further added, "Judging from the style of Overseer Perle, no matter what ns the Brokers make, they will most likely gather different forces and people through covert transactions, maximizing the advantages of their own pathway. So, there''s a good chance that believers of the Devouring Whirlpool and other heretics have been brought onto the vortex n.


    "If we can catch higher-level believers of the Devouring Whirlpool, we might be able to further understand the situation of the vortex matter and discover its key points."


    Franca inwardly hissed. "This is Lumian''s style, on the surface he''s training Ludwig, but in reality, he''s fishing for heretics, investigating the vortex matter.


    The most infuriating thing is, his surface goal is indeed very real and important!"


    After this exmation, Franca looked at Jenna and praised with a smile, "You''re getting smarter and smarter!"


    "Dammit, when you suddenly praise me like this, I don''t know whether to ept it gracefully or be modest. If it were Lumian, he would definitely say ''You''ve barely caught up to my train of thought''." Thetter half of Jenna''s sentence imitated Lumian''s tone.


    Franca pondered for a moment, her lips slowly curling into a smile.


    "Fishing is indeed a good method.


    "We can use the same approach to find Harrison.


    "Harrison has a deep understanding and very sinister application of death, and is also looking for scenarios closely rted to death, darkness, dusk, and other such powers. Does this mean he can be converged by Beyonders of these pathways?


    "This could be convergence from high-ranking individuals, and should also include certain special convergences, such as the Underworld Daoist seal on Lumian, or the Samaritan Women''s Spring. Hmm, Amandina''s poweres directly from the Underworld Daoist, and the Underworld Daoist seems to possess powers of death, darkness, and dusk simultaneously. Amandina might be able to converge on Harrison as well..."


    At this point, Franca''s eyes became exceptionally bright.


    "I choose all of the above!


    "Once Lumian''s condition stabilizes, we''ll have him take Amandina to the Samaritan Women''s Spring to meet the Underworld Daoist. We''ll ambush nearby to see if Harrison will converge!"


    ...


    Quartier de Republic, Rue Richelieu.


    Standing in the shadows at the side of the street, Lumian rubbed his nose, feeling as if aromantic scent still lingered.


    The emotions and desires he had umted since bing an Ascetic were finally released to arge extent throughst night''s events, making his condition quite good.


    But his mood was very heavy, stemming both from feeling torn and guilty, as well as concern for others'' feelings.


    True "pleasure" indeed makes one want to indulge, hmm, just want to, but it really does bring pain... Dammit, I''ll go back and mock Jenna harshly to vent these emotions... Lumian exhaled slowly, turning his gaze towards Ludwig, who was savoring a red fish hot beef pie not far away.
