"What is this place?" asked Audrey, with a non-changing expression, as if asking where tonight's ball would be.

The self-proclaimed president of the Psychological Alchemy Society, Pauly Dellau, also looked out the window and said with a smile:

"It's the city in everyone's heart.

"Where there are people, there is it. ”

Audrey nodded thoughtfully:

"In other words, you can enter here from any corner of human society?"

Del Laumo in a wheelchair:

"Yes. ”

Without further explanation, he pointed to the pavements outside the carriage window:

"Everything here has a corresponding psychological symbol, which they call 'animal desire'. ”

Bestiality...... Audrey repeated the word silently, looking further away while maintaining a dignified sitting position.

Among the "pedestrians", in addition to werewolves, there are bears walking upright, there are lazy cats, there are strange people with colorful spiders on their faces, there are giant rats with red eyes, there are pythons with spitting cores, and some kind of canine creature that examines every passer-by with a lust for mating......

They wear top hats and trench coats, or elaborate dark dresses, trying to mimic humans in every detail, but they can't really look like people.

The carriage drove through the "pedestrians" and various Gothic buildings in the dark night, and soon reached a church in the center of the city.

The church is more than 80 meters tall and is supported by huge black pillars, each of which is inlaid with a certain number of skulls, some of them from humans and some from different creatures, but they all have their hollow eyes aimed downward, as if watching every living creature that enters the church.

Like most of the buildings in the area, the church is exquisitely detailed, but it is composed of elements that tend to be nightmares, horrors, horrors, and mysteries.

Stepping out of the carriage and through the main entrance, Audrey saw a large but empty hall.

In the depths of the hall, stands a huge cross with a gray-white statue of a dragon entwined around the cross.

Unlike ordinary churches, there are no rows of prayer seats for worshippers, and there is no place for candlesticks, but in front of the statue of the dragon, a small long table with five seats on each side of the long table, the top and bottom empty.

Bally Dellau manipulated his wheelchair to the top of the table and pointed to his left:

"You may be seated. ”

Audrey followed him unpleasantly, glanced left and right, pulled out a chair at random, and sat down.

She was not too close, nor too far from the leader of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and she showed her vigilance just right, but she did not appear to be weak-hearted.

Bowy Dellau raised his hands and clasped the pestle to the surface of the long table:

"Miss Audrey, I have something to ask you. ”

"Please. Audrey turned her head slightly, responding to the other's gaze with her turquoise eyes.

Dellaw nodded slightly:

"I wonder how you got promoted to Sequence 4 'Manipulator', and where did you get your potion recipe and extraordinary traits?"

Audrey replied calmly:

"From a deal.

"A client wanted the help of the demigods of the 'Spator' pathway, and prepaid for the 'Manipulator''s potion recipe and extraordinary properties. ”

Dellaw burst into laughter:

"There is such a thing? The generous conditions are like a father looking for an excuse to give his daughter a gift.

"Can you tell me how you specifically helped?"

"Kill another demigod. In this case, mental control is crucial. Audrey explained briefly.

Her attitude was very calm, as if to say what the homework assigned by the tutor was.

Dellaw's long, fluffy eyebrows moved:

"Success?"

"The results are clear. Audrey gave the answer relatively tactfully.

Derlaw looked her up and down a few times, as if he realized that the aristocratic girl on his left hand was actually a "manipulator" who could kill other demigods.

Audrey read his thoughts and added:

"I'm just one of the participants. ”

Dellaw nodded:

"Do you know where the client's 'manipulator' potion recipe and extraordinary properties come from?"

He didn't address the issue directly. Audrey replied with a sentence that had been conceived for a long time.

"He—can you tell me who he is?" asked Dellau, after a moment's consideration.

Audrey has been guarding against the other party's "virtual personality" and infiltrating her own mental island, but from the beginning to the present, she has never noticed anything abnormal.

This made her wonder if the other party didn't need to dive in, just observing the movements of the collective subconscious sea around her, and she could gain insight into her truest thoughts.

She didn't hide it, and replied calmly:

"It's about my agreement with him, and I think keeping that promise should be a moral standard that the whole world agrees on, and in the occult it's even more involved. ”

Speaking of which, Audrey took the initiative to say:

"If you can't really trust me because of the cover-up of this issue, I'm willing to accept it.

"I can just be an ordinary member and exchange my contribution for the psychological research materials that I can exchange. ”

Derlaw smiled when he heard this:

"Everyone has their own secrets, this is normal, I need to assess whether your secrets will affect the safe operation of the entire Psychic Alchemy. ”

He glanced deeply at Audrey and said:

"Can you tell me, then, how did you meet such a client?"

"I remember reporting to you that before joining the Psychic Alchemy Society, I had already come into contact with some people in occult circles and met several extraordinary ones. Audrey said words that really couldn't be true.

As for what the real logical order of those answers is another matter.

Moreover, the "disappearance" of Herwin Lambis stems from the investigation of Forth and Hugh is a fact that the two sides did not communicate with each other, but both absolutely agreed.

Dellaw withdrew his hands from the table and placed them between his chest and abdomen:

"And one more question, when was the last time you saw Herwin Lambis?"

Audrey frowned slightly and said:

"I remember you asked. ”

After Herwin Lambis's death, she did not immediately cut off contact with the Psychological Alchemy Society, and still maintained some contact with the upper echelons through Hilbert, Stephen, and Eastland, until the war approached Beckland, and she found that the members of her psychological research group could not be contacted for various reasons.

"I need to confirm again in person. Dellaw said calmly.

Audrey bowed her head lightly and said:

"The last time I saw Commissioner Herwin Lambis was at Viscount Glerinth's mansion, when, at his command, I hypnotized two Extraordinary friends I knew, and asked them why they were investigating Viscount Stafford and who was behind it.

At that time, Commissioner Herwin Lambis was nearby, making sure that the hypnosis was accidental, and when the answer was known, he quickly left.

"I haven't seen him again after that day. ”

In the process of answering, Audrey was still guarding against the invasion of her mind island, but it was calm and nothing happened.

This not only did not make Audrey feel relaxed, but she became more and more vigilant, and she did not even dare to think about anything related to Mr. "Fool" and "The World" Gelman Sparrow.

She was sure of only one thing: if she was in danger of being exposed, Mr. Fool would certainly provide protection.

This is the same as the previous answer. Dellaw nodded slowly.

He then looked at Audrey's green eyes and said calmly:

"I can't trace the origin of that extraordinary trait in you by occult means, which suggests that there is something beyond imagination behind that provider. ”

Audrey nodded slightly harder, indicating that she thought so too.

"I can't force you not to cooperate or trade with other extraordinary beings, it's impractical, I just want you to promise not to reveal anything related to the Psychological Alchemy Society to anyone, at least, when you want to entrust certain tasks, you have to pack them up and cover up the secrets. Dellaw retracted his gaze and said calmly.

Audrey responded without hesitation:

"I promise not to tell any living beings who don't have the right to do anything related to the Psychological Alchemy Society. ”

She took the initiative to amplify the concept of human beings to living beings to fill the loopholes in her promise.

And as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that one thought after another appeared in the island of her heart.

These thoughts intertwined and became an illusory web that seeped into Audrey's psychic island and became her subconscious.

Since this "net of restrictions" comes from Audrey's own spirituality, even if she becomes an angel, she will not be able to clear it, and she will lose the will to communicate with non-members of the Psychological Alchemy Society or members of the Psychological Alchemy Society who do not have enough authority.

And she herself couldn't recognize that.

He didn't invade the island of my heart, and with my own words alone, he made the promise into substance...... While Audrey was shocked, it was not so obvious on the surface.

Of course, she was not completely restrained, because she was surprised by the instinctive reaction of a "manipulator" in this method.

Based on this, she suspected that either there was something wrong with this inner city, or that the Dellau Psychological Alchemy Society would grow beyond the Sage level.

Seeing Audrey's promise, Dellaw pointed to the long table with satisfaction and said:

"From now on, you will be a member of the Psychological Alchemy Council.

"You can choose a personality mask as your codename. ”

As he spoke, seven grayish-white, rather illusory, and unusually cold masks appeared on the long table, five of which were placed in their respective positions, as if they already had owners.

"There are two personality masks left, one for 'rage' and one for 'arrogance'. "They come from the sacred texts of the Creator of the Tertiary Age. ”

Audrey thought for a second, and reached out to the personality mask that was not angry:

"I choose 'arrogance'. ”

Derlaw glanced at her, chuckled, and said:

This was the choice of Herwin Lambis in the first place. ”
