Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

Jian Na rolled her eyes slightly, raised her arm and said, "This is a requirement of the theater performance class."

After saying this, she seemed to relax a little, and her smile became much more natural: "Didn't I tell you that I work part-time as a waitress in a bar to earn some living expenses? This is my boss. I'm here to discuss a raise with him. The salary thing.”

Jenna pointed at Lumian at the door of Room 207 to strengthen the persuasiveness of her words.

Elodie glanced at Lumian, then stared at Janna for a few seconds, nodded and said, "Remember to go home tonight."

Jian Na's smile froze for a second and then said, "Okay."

Seeing that Elodie was busy again, cleaning the other side of the second floor, Jian Na quietly walked down the stairs and left the Golden Rooster Hotel.

Not long after, she saw Lumian following her and couldn't help but complain: "Fuck! Why is my mother at the Golden Rooster Hotel?"

Lumian thought for a moment and said, "You must blame Old Pigeon Cage. Mr. Ev, the landlord of the Golden Rooster Hotel, is looking for a half-day cleaning lady there, and your mother regularly goes to Old Pigeon Cage to watch plays."

Jian Na grinded her teeth and said, "Those damn evil believers." She then shook her arm and said, "I told you honestly at night that in order to pay for next year's tuition, I worked part-time as an underground singer, and I made quite a lot of money. .”

Lumian glanced at Jenna's side face and said, "Don't you seem too nervous and scared?"

Jian Na spat: "That's my mother, not a man-eating monster.

"She is a very gentle and open-minded person. I didn't tell her what I was doing before, just because I was afraid that she would worry."

"She will be worried now," Lumian reminded.

When working as an underground singer in dance clubs and bars, it is inevitable to interact with gangsters and be bullied and oppressed from time to time.

Jenna smiled and said in a teasing tone: "I am now the leader of the Savoy Party and the protector of the Breeze Ballroom, Charles. Dubois's mistress, who dares to bully me?"

"That's even more dangerous." Lumian laughed.

Jenna withdrew her gaze, looked at the vendors hawking on the street, and said, "If my mother can't accept it, I plan to show her my current abilities and make her believe that I can protect myself."

Yeah? Lumian did not cite the example of perverted Hudsey.

Jian Na put away the expression on her face and said in a slightly lower voice: "She has suffered too much and has worked hard for many years. I want to help her share some of the burden so that she does not collapse her body."

Lumian thought for a moment and said, "Since your father died?"

Jian Na moved her eyes to the ground in front of her and said "Hmm": "There was an accident in the factory. My father was seriously injured and lay in the hospital for more than ten days. In the end, he was not rescued.

"We spent all our original savings and still owed a sum of money. A few years ago, I was actually able to find a good theater to start studying drama, but it was not until the beginning of this year that we paid off almost half of the debt and started again. After saving up a sum of money for tuition, my mother said I can’t put it off any longer, as I’ll get too old if I don’t.”

After listening quietly, Lumian asked with some confusion: "Isn't there any compensation for factory accidents?"

"Yes, but that bastard hasn't paid compensation until now." Jian Na gritted her teeth and said, "He has been appealing, and the court is very slow every time. Damn it, does he want to delay it until we are all dead?"

Lumian was silent for a second and then changed the subject: "Is your mother really a theater actress before?"

"Yes." Janna's expression gradually softened, "She has good acting skills and good looks, but most of the managers, sponsors, and owners of the theater are men. They are used to picking their prey in the theater. Like a lion patrolling its territory, those who are unwilling to obey them will not get a good role. Damn, everyone thinks this kind of thing is normal, even the police and even the court." My mother has a gentle personality, but she is very stubborn at heart. I have always been able to play supporting roles and was even fired once. When the theater she later found went bankrupt, she temporarily lost the opportunity to return to the stage and had to work as a hotel maid or laundress.

"It was at that time that she met my father, and they got together. Under the witness of God, they became husband and wife.

Praise the sun. At that time, my father was working hard to become a skilled worker, and my mother was doing various jobs, trying to save money, and looking for opportunities to become a theater actress again. My mother said that was the time she missed the most. "Later, my brother and I were born, and my father and mother became even busier, struggling to maintain the family and give us the opportunity to study.

"When we were able to take care of ourselves, my mother was getting too old to go back to the stage, so she pinned her hopes on me. She wanted to see me become a great theater actor. Even if it was just a supporting role, my father wanted to My brother can become a real skilled worker."

These words seemed to have been accumulating in Jian Na's heart for a long time, and she didn't have the chance to say them out until now.

Lumian did not interrupt her and waited until she stopped on her own before asking, "Do you want to be a theater actor yourself?"

Jenna smiled proudly and contentedly: "When your mother is a theater fan and is good at acting, it's hard not to like theater."

Her smile made Lumian feel a little jealous inexplicably. He said with emotion: "It can be seen that your mother really likes drama. Even if she is a cleaning lady, she will put on makeup and wear beautiful wigs."

Jian Na nodded lightly and said, "She said that this will make her feel that she is still young, that she is still the same person she was when she performed on the stage, that she is still a real theater actor, and that other jobs are just part-time jobs.

Speaking of this, Jian Na looked forward to the future: "If I work as an underground singer for another year, I can save enough for next year's tuition and pay off most of the remaining debt. Plus the money earned by my mother and brother, we can There is no burden anymore. By then, she will no longer need to work several jobs, and my brother will be able to learn skills from others."

The more Jian Na spoke, the more excited she became. She couldn't help but raise her arms, as if she wanted to touch the beauty of the future.

Lumi quietly looked at Jiana like this, and suddenly felt that the accumulated emotions in her heart had dissipated a lot.

Hope, what a moving word.

After Jian Na calmed down for a few seconds, she felt inexplicably embarrassed and glanced sideways at Lumian: "What are you looking at? Have you never seen anyone else excited?"

Lumian sneered and did not respond.

Jian Na looked at him several times and said to herself, "Why do I feel that your condition is getting better?"

"No." Lumian replied simply.

At this time, the two of them had entered Market Avenue and saw Yu grids posted everywhere. Poster showing Artois's successful election to Congress.

Huguet was supported by both the Savoy Party and the Stingers. Artois really became a member of Congress. I wonder what kind of changes he will bring to the market area.

Lumian withdrew his gaze from the poster, and something flashed through his mind that Franka told him: "Ms. Moon" who believed in the "Great Mother" believed in Yu Ge. Artois is open-minded enough.

In the afternoon, before setting off to find Mr. K in the Boulevard area, Lumian set up an altar in the bedroom on the second floor of the Breeze Ballroom.

After creating the "spiritual wall", lighting three candles in order from God to man, from left to right, and dripping in essential oils and hydrosol, Lumian took two steps back in the hazy environment and said in a deep voice: "The Fool who does not belong to this era, the mysterious master above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who controls good luck."

A dull gray fog filled the air, and an unsettling atmosphere surged around.

Resisting the slowness of his thoughts and the itching of the flesh and blood under his skin, Lumian looked at the blue-black candlelight and followed the instructions of Ms. "Magician" to recite the subsequent incantation in Hermes: "I pray to you. You pray, I pray for your blessing.”

After a series of operations, Lumian saw the holy angel again who seemed to be condensed from pure light.

At the same time, he vaguely heard a sleepy sigh.

A sigh from infinite heights.

The bright and illusory angel descended from a high place, opened his arms, and embraced Lumian.

The pairs of wings of light then closed together and enveloped him.

When Lumian regained consciousness, everything became normal.

Towards evening.

Boulevard district, 19 Scheer Street.

Lumian saw Mr. K again in the basement.

He was still wearing a big hood and a black robe, sitting silently on the red armchair.

Mr. K looked at Lumian, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "I am very satisfied with your ability to act, and without knowing it, everything you did was in line with our Lord's teachings and fought against those evil entities. The roll maker."

Mr. K paused and said, "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it." Lumian lowered his head and said, "You let me see the glory of the Lord."

"Haha." Mr. K suddenly laughed so wildly that he felt like he was losing his mind.

After several seconds, he calmed down and said directly without letting the waiters around him evade: "My Lord's honorable name is "the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God, the Lord behind the curtain of shadow, the ruler of the spiritual world, the Lord of all things." The Fallen Nature of Creatures," pick three of your own and pray to her in Hermetic."

Just hearing Mr. K's description, Lumian felt the horror of having his clothes, skin, flesh, and bones completely melted away, leaving only his pure mind and self-awareness.

He couldn't help but tremble, and recited almost instinctively: "The Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God, the master behind the shadow curtain." Lumian couldn't think carefully and subconsciously chose the first three sentences.

Almost at the same time, he felt that the surroundings suddenly became dark, as if covered with thick curtains.

Behind the illusive and deep shadow curtain, there was a pair of eyes staring at Lumian, piercing through his consciousness and making him almost unconscious.

After an unknown amount of time, Lumian regained his thoughts and felt sticky cold sweat everywhere on his body.

Mr. K stood up, with a clear smile in his low voice: "From now on, you are our brother and have truly become one of us.

"We are a secret organization that believes in the true Creator, and our name is the Aurora Society."

Aurora Society? Lumian was stunned for a while.

Isn't this the terrorist organization that took the blame for me?

From this point of view, it seems that the official Beyonder has not found the wrong target. I have truly become a member of the "Aurora Society".

Mr. K immediately asked the waiters around him to exit the basement, and then said to Lumian: "Gardner. Martin is a member of the Iron Cross. This secret organization originally believed in our Lord, but in recent years, they have gradually alienated us. He stopped praying frequently and seemed to be planning something very important.

"I sent you to join them because I hope you can find the reason and figure out what they are doing."
