Circle of Inevitability Chapter 418 - 418 Beatrice

418 Beatrice

Franca ended her concealment and quietly opened the door to Adainas apartment. The first thing she saw was Lumian, a tall, slender man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was crouched beside the unconscious Adaina, vigorously wiping her face with a wet towel.

Franca lowered her voice and asked in confusion, W-what are you doing?

Shouldnt the target be the Bliss Society member posing as Theresa, the art dealer?

Lumian smirked and responded, Ive had a sudden thought.

Actors can impersonate anyone. Once the imposter Theresa establishes an intimate relationship with Aldina, she can easily control this female companion and impersonate her to infiltrate the Red House Cafes female orgies.

Allowing Adaina, who everyone is familiar with, to convey the Bliss Societys philosophy and hidden evil god faith will definitely be more persuasive and trustworthy than a new member.

At this point, Lumian gazed toward the bedroom in a chilling tone and said, Perhaps, the real Adaina is hidden in a corner here, in the form of a corpse.

Franca couldnt help but imagine such a grim scenario and took a deep breath.

She straightened her back and muttered to herself, Not a bad story. Ill share it with Jenna later.

After her muttering, she silently closed the door and approached Lumian, refuting his suspicion.

Browns Sauron is likely a Demoness of Pleasure. Surely, she can recognize the authenticity of her female companion? Furthermore, she interrogated Adaina and knows the approximate abilities of an Actor.

Lumian, who had been assisting Adaina in removing her makeup, confirmed that despite her altered appearance, she was still the same person.

He chuckled and said, Based on your description, I dont fully trust Browns Saurons judgment. She clearly has less experience in the Beyonder domain than you. However, since she has the Demoness Sect backing her and confirmation has been made, the interrogation results are still credible.

Lumian didnt spare Adaina another glance. He gestured towards the fake Theresa, who had been hit with a triple dose of unconsciousnessthe Harrumph Spell, a physical knockout, and a sedative from the Bliss Society. He turned to Franca and said, Use Magic Mirror Divination to confirm if shes a core member of the Bliss Society.

While Lumian had already suspected the fake Theresa was a core member based on her performance at the concert, they hadnt followed her closely the entire way. They had instead been waiting at their destination. What if she had sensed something amiss and had switched to a decoy during the journey?

Considering the fake Theresa possessed a unique concoction like the Bliss Societys truth serum, she was undoubtedly connected to the Bliss Society. However, it remained uncertain if she was a core member.

This answer would guide Lumians subsequent actions.

Next door to Adainas apartment, Browns Sauron continued to monitor the commotion. She could hear faint and indistinct conversations but couldnt detect much else.

Adaina and the fake Theresa plan to chat for a while and have some red wine? Though it isnt overly passionate, it holds a romantic ambiance... Browns Sauron glanced at the building opposite, mentally urging Franca and her lover to begin, hoping they wouldnt wait until the fake Theresa was completely engrossed in desire before launching a surprise attack.

In the living room of Adainas apartment, Franca raised her right palm and rapidly created a crystalline icicle. With precision, she pierced the fake Theresas hand, drawing a small amount of blood.

The fake Theresa instinctively pulled back her arm but hadnt broken through the three-layered coma.

Franca then smeared the blood on a mirror, intending to use it as a medium and sacrifice to ask an entity from the Underworld, hoping to obtain a unique identification of spirits.

Once all preparations were complete, Franca picked up the mirror and recited in Hermes,

The shadow that lingers in the Underworld, the friendly creature that can be communicated with, the unique eye that never dies...

The surface of the blood-stained mirror suddenly emitted a dark green hue, and a pale-white aqueous light rippled.

After reciting the incantation, Franca asked respectfully, Is the owner of the blood Theresa, the art dealer?

No, came an indifferent voice from the mirror, as if enduring the corrosion of endless time.

Franca posed her second question.

Is the owner of the blood a core member of Triers Bliss Society?

The indifferent voice gradually faded.

Yes.

Franca refrained from asking further questions, as the entity only answered two at a time.

She watched as the pale-white aqueous light rapidly receded, and the blood on the mirrors surface strangely seeped in and disappeared.

Turning to Lumian, Franca reported, Shes a core member of the Bliss Society.

Lumian let out a soft sigh and said, Unfortunately, I dont know how to perform a lobotomy. Anthony Reid isnt a Hypnotist yet, so we can only channel the spirit directly.

Using the truth serum didnt guarantee that the fake Theresa wouldnt resist when she woke up. Given her faith and abilities, a fierce battle was inevitable when the time came, and there was a high chance that she would be killed. In that case, he decided to proceed now.

As Lumian spoke, he crouched down, his right palm ablaze with crimson flames.

The flames intertwined and swiftly converged, turning white.

Gently pressing his right palm against the fake Theresas body, the blazing white fireball vanished into thin air.

Rumble!

A muffled explosion erupted from within the fake Theresas body. She trembled a few times before life left her completely.

Franca had been busy preparing the Magic Mirror Spirit Channeling Spell during this entire process.

While she could forcibly channel the spirit while the fake Theresa was unconscious, it wasnt a safe option. It could lead to unnecessary trouble for her mind and spirit, and the fact that the target believed in an evil god meant there was a risk of corruption if she wasnt careful.

Next door to Adainas apartment, hidden in the shadows, Browns Sauron sensed a subtle fluctuation.

Powers have been used. Has it begun? She wondered if the imposter Theresa had initiated the powers of the Mother Tree of Desire pathway to flirt or if Franca Roland and her lover had already infiltrated the target location and were preparing to attack.

Without hesitation, Browns Sauron, dressed in a black hunting suit, silently pushed open the window and crawled out through the shadows. She clung to the outer wall and slowly approached Adainas apartment.

Franca completed the Magic Mirror Spirit Channeling Spell, and the dark and deep mirror aqueous light flickered, reflecting a beautiful yet pale-white face.

Whats your name? Franca asked directly, using the simplest question to test the effect of the Magic Mirror Spirit Channeling Spell.

The fake Theresas illusory voice replied, Im Beatrice Incourt.

Whats your true identity? Franca continued to ask.

Beatrice Incourts expression remained stoic as she replied, I run a winery. Its from my deceased husband.

Franca then directed the question to the crucial point.

Are you a core member of the Bliss Society?

Yes. Beatrice Incourts nod was subtle.

Franca didnt delve into the Bliss Societys faith or any recent revelations. Although she wasnt as fearful of the evil god, the Mother Tree of Desire, as she was of the Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings, to the point of not daring to channel spirits, she was aware of the risks involved. She knew what to ask and what not to ask, what was safe, and what could lead to corruption.

After a brief pause, she inquired, Do you know Lumian Lee or Ciel Dubois?

Beatrice replied in a daze, I dont know.

I dont know... Lumian, who was listening, raised his eyebrows.

None of the core members of the Bliss Society know about Susanna Mattises ultimate plan?

Franca was equally surprised. She frowned and asked, Why did Susanna Mattise go to the market district before her death?

Beatrice Incourt replied calmly, She wanted to awaken the great divine tree and allow its roots to enter Fourth Epoch Trier, allowing its crown to reach into the kingdom of the false gods.

Did she say what the awakening process was? Franca pressed.

Beatrice Incourts voice grew colder, and her expression became more wooden.

She didnt say.

They really dont know that Susanna Mattise wanted to capture me and sacrifice me to the Mother Tree of Desire? Lumians thoughts raced, and he whispered a name to Franca: Maipu Meyer.

Franca understood and asked the spirit in the mirror, Where is Maipu Meyer?

Maipu Meyer was the former manager of Theatre de lAncienne Cage a Pigeons, Susanna Mattises paramour, and her most trusted subordinate.

Beatrice replied in a voice increasingly resembling the dead, Im not sure. Hes a man, and we despise and keep a distance from him.

Upon hearing this, Lumian was enlightened, roughly understanding the reason.

Regarding the Tree of Shadow, Susanna Mattise, who had become an evil spirit, was extremely extreme in her choices and actions. She didnt inform the other core members of the Bliss Society about the detailed situation or progress. Only her direct subordinates, Maipu Meyer and Charlotte Calvino, knew the complete plan.

After Susanna Mattise and Charlotte Calvinos deaths, Maipu Meyer, who had relied on the former to become a core member of the Bliss Society, was ostracized and suppressed. Consequently, he didnt divulge the relevant issues to anyone else.

This made sense. A secret organization centered around desire would undoubtedly experience a multitude of desires, both open and covert. Maipu Meyer was a visible anomaly among the core group that advocated women and loved women.

Franca pondered for a few seconds and changed her question, What are Maipu Meyers plans for the time being?

Beatrices face turned pale-white and green, and even her stiff expression vanished.

A few weeks ago, Maipu Meyer mentioned that he wanted to sneak back to the market district to do something. I havent seen him since.

Sneak back to the market district to do something? Lumian and Franca were alarmed by this revelation.
