Chapter 100: A "Test" (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The gentle voice seemed to resonate with Audrey's innermost thoughts, making her feel that it came from her own heart and was her truest thoughts.
Herwin Lambis looked at her emerald eyes, and continued, neither fast nor slow:
"Second, at the banquets and balls that followed, he was no longer so resistant to the courtship of the princes, and praised him in the presence of the Earl and Lady Hall.
"Remember the above words, which are a reflection of your subconscious, and then, forget that I have been here and said these words to you, forget that such actions are abnormal with your original behavior, do not try to seek refuge, and deviate from the key position of the Mass of the Night Church......"
After saying this, Herwin Lambis withdrew his gaze from Audrey's eyes, and instead hinted at the maid Anne and the others, so that they were not surprised by the subsequent abnormal behavior of their young lady.
After dealing with these things, his figure disappeared into the carriage like that, without causing a single movement.
Jingle bells!
Another bicycle drove by outside the window, and Audrey's slightly unfocused eyes suddenly regained their focus.
She glanced at the people and cars on the street, and suddenly let out a small "oops".
Then, embarrassedly, she turned back to Anne and the others:
"Forget one thing, I have to go to Glerint first. ”
At this time, the carriage had not yet left Queens, and was not too far from the residence of Viscount Glerinte, and Anne and the other servants were not surprised and embarrassed, and hurriedly ordered the coachman to turn into another street.
It was not until 9:40 a.m. that Audrey arrived at Persfield Street, walked into the second floor of the Rune Charity Scholarship Fund, and walked into her own trustee's office.
Watching the personal maid Anne and the others either tidy up the file shelves or prepare black tea with the water of the mountain spring they carried, Audrey took the golden retriever Susie and opened the door of the small lounge attached to it, as if to revisit her face to determine if she needed the maids' help to touch up her makeup.
In the process, Audrey glanced at the keyhole and asked Susie in a relaxed manner:
"Did I behave abnormally today?"
It's a habit she's only had in the last few days, since the disappearance of Herwin Lambis!
She knew that the angelic blessing of Mr. "Fool" was not permanent, and could only last for a while, and she could not foresee whether Herwin Lambis would come to her, and when she would come, so she could not pray to Mr. "Fool" in advance and prepare accordingly. With her occult understanding and cautious attitude, she not only examines her behavior three times a day for abnormalities and whether there are too many coincidences in what happened to her, but also specially advises Susie to pay attention to her state and be her own mirror.
This is to prevent being hypnotized, suggested, and unconsciously by Herwin Lambis!
Susie, the big golden retriever dog, squatted next to him and thought about it seriously:
"Yes. ”
"......" Audrey's expression stiffened with a shallow smile, and she looked at Susie and waited for her to explain.
Susie moved her nose and glanced left and right before continuing:
"You didn't have any plans to visit Viscount Gleilynt when you went out, but you took a different route halfway.
"You will inform me of the general itinerary in advance in the next few days, and you have also said that you will discuss with me first if you add or change your plan at the last minute. ”
After listening to Susie's answer, Audrey's expression became solemn.
She still doesn't think there's anything unusual about this matter, but this state is the most abnormal!
This gave her a near-certain judgment:
Herwin Lambis has been here, just after he has gone out, in front of the Gleilint Mansion!
The other party has already made hints and hypnotsis to eliminate all kinds of traces!
However, he did not "admonish" a dog to make "it" feel that everything it saw was normal...... Audrey subconsciously wanted to let Susie go out and prayed to Mr. "Fool" herself, but became hesitant again.
Could I be being monitored by Herwin Lambis, will he just sit somewhere in this room and watch me quietly...... No, if that's the case, when I asked Susie just now, he could already see that something was wrong, and prayed that it wouldn't end any worse...... Even if he were here, Mr. Fool would have found that I could promise future sacrifices and ask Him to send him a direct punishment...... But why didn't I want to pray, why didn't I want to ask for help...... Audrey stood there, with all sorts of thoughts in her heart, instinctively trying to escape.
This made her aware of the contradiction and found a little resistance in her heart.
From the perspective of psychology and occultism, she had some vague guesses, and hurriedly got rid of the idea of asking for help, so that she was in the kind of state that usually prayed to the goddess and did not desire to respond.
This reduced the contradiction in her heart by half.
Audrey suddenly became determined, first motioned for Susie to go out, then looked in the mirror, and hypnotized herself in a low voice:
"You're not asking for help, you're just doing your daily prayers......
"You're not asking for help, you're just doing your daily prayers......"
After a series of repeated times, the dark green vortex in Audrey's eyes that could attract people's souls slowly dissipated, and her eyes returned to normal.
Then she raised her hands, clasped them between her mouth and nose, and whispered in the ancient Hermetic language:
"Fools who do not belong to this era...... I've probably met Herwin Lambis......"
In her words, she didn't mention that she wanted help, but described what she had just discovered.
After waiting for a while, Audrey's eyes appeared with a crimson light, flooding her like a tide.
Suddenly, her mind became sober, and pictures flashed in her mind.
It was Herwin Lambis, who sat across from her in the carriage, in a black three-piece suit;
It was the old man who told her in a gentle voice;
It was a demigod with pale blue eyes that seemed to hide endless wisdom and one whirlpool after another.
At the same time, that sentence rang in Audrey's ears again, and she completely remembered everything that had happened before.
When the crimson light faded, she was greeted by a mottled old bronze table, a mysterious figure sitting in a high-backed chair on top, shrouded in gray mist.
Fear, panic, panic and other emotions emerged, Audrey stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt, and saluted the great being:
"Thank you for your protection of me, dear Mr. 'Fool'. ”
Klein bowed his head lightly and smiled approvingly:
"You handled it well. ”
Hearing this, Audrey suddenly became relieved, no longer so frightened, she sat down, and calmly described her experience completely.
As a "fool", Klein couldn't directly discuss with Miss "Justice", help her analyze, and give opinions, so he could only smile and laugh:
"This is the test of fate for you. ”
Only through this test can I have the qualifications to become a demigod and protect the people I want to protect in the complicated situation of Bakeland? "Justice" Audrey interpreted Mr. "Fool's prompt", nodded seriously, and said:
"I see. ”
Klein didn't say anything more, and said with a half-sigh and half-smile:
"Go back, go meet it. ”
Audrey was about to say thank you again, when a crimson scarlet appeared in front of her eyes, and everything she saw became blurred.
In an instant, she was back in the real world, but nothing was forgotten or ignored.
Test?Does it mean that I have to deal with the danger that originated from Herwin Lambis without revealing my secret? Even if I caused the death of Herwin Lambis, I wouldn't be suspected by the Psychological Alchemist Society afterwards?What should I do...... Audrey looked at the unusually beautiful blonde girl in the mirror, her head slightly sideways, and glanced diagonally across the side.
There was a large break room in that direction, belonging to the directors who did not hold positions within the Foundation, and Audrey had seen Mr. Dwayne Dantès in it as she was going up the stairs nearly ten minutes earlier.
............
Above the gray mist, Klein's fingers tapped the edge of the mottled table, analyzing what happened to Miss Justice and Justice last night and this morning:
"That's not right, Adam gave me the 'Darkless Cross' through 'Judgment' and Miss 'Magician', how can I not know who is behind them?
"I thought last night that Miss Hugh's investigation was purely the action of the King's faction, and that he was only seconded to the Extraordinary Persons of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and Adam did not share the matter of the 'Fool' with the King's faction and the Witch Sect for some reason, after all, he still wanted me to give some information......
"But now it seems that this temptation also has a part of Adam's will, otherwise Herwin Lambis would not have been involved in this matter at all, even for the 'Twilight Hermit Society', a saint is quite valuable and important, and it is not so easy to give up and sacrifice......
"What did Adam want to probe and whether Miss 'Judgment' was based purely on his own factors, or was it attached to the will of the 'fool'?
"If the 'Fool' gets the 'Darkless Cross' and understands that the king's secret is related to Adam's plan, and insists on letting his subordinates investigate, then he is an enemy of the 'Dusk Hermit Society', and Adam knows the true identity of Gelman Sparrow......
"However, with Adam's ability, he doesn't need to test anything, just sit down next to Miss 'Judgment' and listen to her heart, and you can grasp the real situation, there is no need to go through so many troubles......
"Unless he has left Bakeland, or, out of some avoidance, he does not dare to enter the metropolis again, and can only investigate through his men......
"My reminder to Lady Arianna, to the Church of the Night, that Adam sensed the danger of God's descent?
"Most likely, although he knows that Gelman Sparrow is related to the 'Death Archon', he should not have noticed that there is something wrong with the artificial death god, and even the artificial death god sect of the Spirit Order has not discovered this, so with the bonus of the hidden authority, he does not know that the goddess will not be able to descend for a long time......
"The next step is to deal with Herwin Lambis, and to make sure that Miss 'Justice' is not suspicious. ”
As soon as Klein thought of this, through the corresponding prayer light, he saw Miss Audrey "Justice" enter the Governor's Lounge and look for Dawn Dantès.
He hurriedly restrained his thoughts and returned to the real world.
PS: Change first and then change, and ask for a monthly pass during the double period~
PS2: I recommend a book, "Losing the richest man starts with the game", a very interesting book, you can know the general content by looking at the title, a bit similar to the kind of money that the richest man in tomatoes tries to invest in rotten projects and wants to lose money, which is very fun.
