Chapter 372 Coincidence
Backlund, Queens, Hall Mansion.

Three big dogs carried the girl’s body and quietly sent her back to the room without making any noise. All their movements were obscured by the “unknown”.

Lu Ke watched the girl disappear from his sight, and the “tinderbox” in his hand turned into a dreamy light spot and dissipated in the air.

The “mysterious reappearance” of the “occultists” is to draw strength from the different mystical knowledge they have mastered to create various kinds of magic or witchcraft. The fewer people who know about it, the more powerful it is.

The “analysis”, “imitation” and “creation” of the “mystical mentor” can discover the flaws of other abilities, imitate the same abilities, and freely create abilities that are unique to him.

The combination of the two abilities, coupled with the fact that Luke used blood from his original body when he was promoted to Sequence 4, the knowledge from different worlds, and the knowledge gained from his old connections with the spirit world, directly produced a qualitative change.

“Analysis” and “Imitation” are normally not as powerful as the original, but now the upper limit has been raised to the point where as long as the relevant occult knowledge is sufficient, it can even surpass the original.

In terms of creating magical spells and secret arts, Lu Ke can recreate the scene of any occult phenomenon that has actually occurred, been witnessed by his own eyes, or has sufficient knowledge to describe it. The more detailed the better, and if he spends time compiling and adjusting it, he can freely add or delete parts of it during the reproduction.

This is also the scene where Luke uses his “Mysterious Reappearance” body to chase “Original Hunger” under the starry sky. The reappeared “Original Hunger” is even able to hurt the “Hidden Sage”.

Firstly, he himself was an eyewitness to the experience. Secondly, because of the “unknown”, no one else knew about the scene except the “primordial hunger”, which made its power reach its maximum. Thirdly, he originally symbolized the “unity of all things”, which was extremely consistent with the “primordial hunger”.

After savoring the girl’s softness and her restrained moans, Luke glanced at the gray sky and walked back to his mansion which was also in Queens, not far from here.

Pushing open the door, he saw shopping bags of all sizes filling the room, luxurious jewelry piled on the dressing table, and books scattered around the room.

Fors lay on the bed in a shabby state, her thick hair tangled in the quilt, and she looked even more lazy and lethargic than before.

Seeing him suddenly come back, Fors was startled at first, then she jumped out of bed, smiling brightly, and came towards him like a dodder.

“You’re back. I’ll ask the servants to clean up the room right away.”

She asked eagerly and gently, “Are you hungry? Let the kitchen prepare dinner for you?”

Then she put her head on the man’s chest: “Or should I go take a shower first?”

Lu Ke rubbed his face, glanced at the dusty typewriter, and asked in a deep voice: “You’ve been too decadent recently. I see that you haven’t worked for a few days.”

Since Stiano came, except for going out shopping, Fors has been eating, sleeping and hanging around with him.

Fors was particularly docile. “You know that I’m doing creative work. Inspiration doesn’t come easily. I need some time to relax.”

Work is the most annoying thing in the world, no doubt about it!

Since she has already found a big shot who has connections with the gods and has more money than she can spend, isn’t it just asking for trouble if she continues to work hard?

Fors leaned over to Luke’s neck and sniffed. A light and pleasant fragrance filled the air, and she instantly became alert.

It seems that it is neither mine nor Xio’s…

Never mind, she can’t smell it!

Lu Ke stripped the lazy writer and laid him on the bed, sighing, “Go write, write something every day.”

“why?”

When Fors learned that he still had to work, his body stiffened, as if struck by lightning.

Lu Ke said confidently: “I don’t know why, but if I support a writer and create an environment for her to eat, drink and have fun all day without having to worry about survival, I will feel uncomfortable.”

He emphasized, “It’s very uncomfortable.”

Fors: “…”

She still didn’t understand.

After Fors hurried back to work, Luke locked the door, creating a closed environment to block out his spirituality. He walked to the dressing mirror and stretched out his hand.

Dreamlike spots of light lit up, and the mirror that originally reflected reality turned into darkness.

This is the “magic mirror” he uses to “mysteriously reappear”, and its effect is much stronger than ordinary divination methods.

He wanted to find the whereabouts of “Lieutenant General Hurricane” Qi Lingos.

Luke, a Sequence 6 Wind-loving One with Creeping Hunger, wouldn’t care, but Qilingos’ fate had changed from before.

Originally, Vice Admiral Hurricane was supposed to go to Backlund in two to three months to assassinate the Conservative Duke Negan who was trying to amend the Poor Law.

Now according to “The Hanged Man” Alger, he has come to Backlund and is hiding.

Qi Lingos was commissioned by the secret organization “Twilight Hermits”, and the person behind the “Twilight Hermits” was none other than the “Angel of Fantasy” Adam, who inherited the divinity of the “Ancient Sun God” and possessed the uniqueness of an “audience” and two copies of the sequence one “writer”.

Strength is secondary; wisdom is what makes Adam so terrifying.

Even a true God would find it difficult to avoid this design and arrangement. He has single-handedly caused the birth of countless “audience PTSD” patients, and even caused many “high-dimensional observers” to fear him.

However, to Lu Ke, Adam was not a particularly big threat. The “unknown” was more difficult to design than the “secret”, and without enough information, there was naturally no question of design.

Moreover, Adam was not even a dreamer at the moment. The remaining copy of Sequence 1 was still in the hands of Ince Zangwill in Tingen City, and the deification ceremony was not yet ready.

The deep black of the “magic mirror” was about to reflect the image, but suddenly it stopped, and a new mirror image replaced the original black mirror surface.

It was an ancient silver mirror with an eye-like decoration on each side of the mirror. They were based on black gemstones and looked deep and charming, but there was a deep crack on the mirror surface, which destroyed the overall beauty.

“Great being, Your Majesty, the Magic Mirror Arrodes is at your service!”

Loen’s words with a clearly flattering tone appeared on the mirror, and a cute emoticon appeared underneath.

Arrodes: (˙▽˙)
Luke was stunned for a moment, and found that there was actually a not-so-weak mystical connection between his “magic mirror” that “mysteriously reappeared” and “Arrodes”.

He realized that Arrodes should be the prototype of the “magic mirror” in the fairy tale “Snow White” on Earth. Through this connection, the mirror was “possessed” by the “magic mirror”.

That’s fine. “Magic Mirror” is stronger than ordinary mirror divination, and “Arrodes” is stronger than “Magic Mirror”.

Lu Ke asked with some interest, “How do you know my identity?”

Arrodes: ()
Arrodes: There are very few people who can use “Mysterious Reappearance” to create a “Magic Mirror”, and the one who will use it in the near future, who seems to be normal in every aspect without any flaws, and who is unknown to me, must be you.

Lu Ke did not refute. He stared at the mirror with interest for a while and asked the second question: “Tell me the whereabouts of Qi Lingos.”

Arrodes: Your Highness, I need to follow certain rules. You must answer one of my questions before you can proceed to the next one.

Luke nodded calmly, and was a little curious about what it would ask, “You ask.” Arrodes: “Your Highness, do you… like green peppers?
That’s it.

Lu Ke let out a light “tsk”, a little disappointed. In fact, he also wanted to know what kind of question could make him feel embarrassed and ashamed.

He nodded slightly, “I like it. It would be even better if you could mix it with some shredded pork.”

“Perfect answer!”

Dazzling fireworks appeared on the mirror of Arrodes, as if celebrating this wonderful question and answer session.

“Next, answer your questions.”

A strange light flashed on the surface of the mirror, bringing together a scene:
The camera first focuses on a sign that reads “Hillston”, then quickly moves to a dim house with stables and a garden.

In the fairly nicely decorated room, a figure was lying on the bed, quietly and silently.

The picture gradually moved forward, revealing the man’s appearance, with a unique wide chin, dark green eyes, and narrow eyebrows, exactly the same as Qi Lingos on the wanted poster.

The man’s chest and abdomen were opened, and his internal organs were empty. His right hand, which was supposed to be filled with “wriggling hunger”, was missing. There were traces of tearing on the wound, and blood and flesh were splattered. His eyes were wide open, and there was still fear and anger on his face.

His body was stiff, and he was obviously dead.

Is Qilingos dead?

Luke raised an eyebrow in surprise, “It’s your turn to ask questions.”

“Your Highness, do you… like shredded pork?”

Lu Ke nodded: “I like it. It’s better to add some green peppers to stir-fry.”

Arrodes blew up fireworks again: “Impeccable answer!”

Luke ignored Arrodes’ flattery and asked the third question, “Tell me the cause of Qilingos’ death.”

The picture changes rapidly as if the back button has been pressed.

Seemingly tired after running around for a long time, Qi Lingos randomly picked a target, that was Baron Gramier in the Hilton District. He sneaked into the room and killed Baron Gramier, fed the body to the “Creeping Hunger”, and used the “Faceless Man” to transform into the appearance of the original owner.

A pretty maid who had an abnormal relationship with Baron Ramir walked into the room. Qilingos, who was pretending to be the original owner, did not refuse her and had an intimate relationship with her. Afterwards, he drank the sleep-inducing black tea that the original owner drank every day.

In the middle of the night, a dog-like beast emitting an evil aura came silently to the Hillston District. It seemed that it was also selecting a target and happened to choose the room where Qi Lingos was.

Qi Lingos was exhausted and taking drugs to help him sleep, so his spiritual warning was too slow. He was only a “Wind-loving One” and before he could react, he was ambushed by the beast, his chest and abdomen were broken open, his internal organs were taken out, and he lost the chance to fight back.

The beast looked at the “creeping hunger” with greed, bit off the arm and ran away with it in its mouth.

The image in the mirror gradually turned gray, and Luke rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

A coincidence, an obviously abnormal coincidence.

Let Qi Lingos come, but arrange for him to die…

He tapped the tabletop lightly with his index finger, thinking for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, and spoke to Arrodes in a calm voice:
“It’s your turn to ask.”

Arrodes hesitated for a moment this time, and then spoke a long string of Loenese.

“Your Highness, do you need a humble, well-behaved, sensible, and slightly useful servant to follow you? As long as you take me out of the Steam Church, I can serve you better!”

After asking, a cat with excellent appearance, azure eyes and snow-white fur appeared in Arrodes’ mirror, revealing its soft belly and furry paws.

Luke’s lips curled up, “Cats are delicate, I like dogs.”

The cat changed rapidly, turning into a cute, silly and adorable light yellow puppy.

“No, actually I prefer loli.”

This time the mirror seemed to hesitate for a moment, but quickly compromised and turned into a little princess wearing a sparkling princess dress.

“I prefer shota.”

The little princess’s skirt turned into a suitable suit, and her face became deeper and more three-dimensional, making her look like a very proud little prince.

“I prefer Transformers.”

The little prince wiped the sweat off his face, and the lines of his body turned into a mixture of steel and machinery. The majestic “Optimus Prime” appeared on the mirror.

“I prefer Misaka Mikoto.”

“Optimus Prime” was knocked away by a beam of lightning, his chest felt like bricks. A girl with short brown hair and a dashing look walked over.

Lu Ke became interested and started trying it again and again.

“I prefer 4090…”

“I prefer pink comics…”

“I prefer the principle of nuclear fusion…”

“I prefer the unified model of the universe…”

“I prefer the ending of Hunter x Hunter…”

“I prefer Silk Song…”

After trying everything to his heart’s content, Lu Ke slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Okay, I’ll take you out soon.”

The lines on the broken mirror spasmed for a while, and it took a while to calm down. Finally, a line of weak words emerged pitifully.

“Thank you for your…kindness, great master.”
