"Susie, do you think I'm still me?"

The Golden Retriever was a little surprised when asked this question, but he immediately replied firmly: "You are you, Audrey." ”

Audrey nodded slightly, paying attention to her surroundings out of the corner of her eye: "Thank you, Susie." ”

"Now, it's time for us to go back...... Be careful, control the speed, and don't let others notice anything out of the ordinary......"

After discovering the influence of extraordinary power in the family castle, Audrey and Susie no longer stop in the hallway, but quickly return to their bedroom, preventing contact with any "wrong" people and confusing their own identity with others.

Audrey leaned back against the door, a little nervous, and she could feel her heart pounding when she pressed the palm of her chest.

Susie, the big golden retriever, sat at her feet, her ears on the door, listening carefully to what was going on outside.

Even when there was no one around, they didn't feel safe.

"Calm down, Audrey, calm down."

Audrey took two deep breaths, used the extraordinary ability of the "psychiatrist" to "reassure" herself, and then analyzed the current situation with Susie to get rid of the current anxious and uneasy mood.

"In this extraordinary event, many people have been replaced with memories, they believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are another person, acting as another person, and it is difficult for us to judge their authenticity with the naked eye."

"Wang." Susie said.

Audrey frowned: "Just like Tina." Even though Susie all the three pieces of evidence you find, the smell, the clothes, and the footprints, prove that Tina is now a man, I still instinctively reject calling her 'he'. ”

"Even though I saw the evidence, I still think 'he' is Tina."

"Mom too. I now think my mom should have short brown hair, not blonde hair like me. ”

In this way, it may be that it is not only their memories that have been replaced, but also the memories of others...... Or cognition? ”

Susie tilted her head, her eyes gradually melted and erected, and the spirituality belonging to Susie spread and touched Audrey's body.

Audrey did not resist, but looked at Susie with burning eyes, she knew that this was the other party's ability to use "psychoanalysis".

After a few seconds, Susie got up, took two steps around Audrey, and shook her head firmly:

"Audrey, your spirit is not affected, Wang."

This answer made Audrey relax a little, and she was extremely glad that Susie had become a "psychiatrist" before today's extraordinary events.

However, Susie seems to have realized that there is something wrong with the maid Tina through the smell, and Susie, who is an extraordinary animal, is not sensitive to the changes in the maid in the family castle, so she accidentally discovered the problem.

These changes should have only happened recently, because Susie, who is still a "hypnotist", should also be able to see the problem. But the "hypnotist" of Sequence 8 was unable to diagnose my psyche or help me maintain my cognition......

"Maybe it's because the other party's sequence is higher than ours?"

"It's also possible......" Susie lay down, her chin resting on her paws, "So what now, Audrey?" ”

The blonde Miss Hall, unable to grasp exactly what was happening in the family castle, pondered, found a cushion by the way, and sat down beside Susie without her image, her hands clasped to her knees, and her eyes fixed on the lamp opposite.

"Susie, do you think this will be the hand of an extraordinary person?"

"Woo......" Susie's tail wagged, "I think it's possible." ”

"But my father, he hasn't made any political opinions or dominated the legal vote lately." Audrey leaned against the door suspiciously, reaching out a hand to stroke Susie's supple hair, carefully recalling the recent situation.

The Earl of Hall has been living a leisurely life in the family castle since February, away from the work of the House. Occasionally, he participated in important councils by letter, and others participated in aristocratic entertainment, horseback riding, hunting, and balls.

Very normal.

As for the government employee examination law, the Beckland Environmental Protection Law, that was a month or two ago.

Now that these laws are running smoothly, they have little to do with Earl Hall. Even if Earl Hall goes mad or even dies during this incident, these spells will continue without any repercussions.

As the Earl's daughter, Audrey has come to know these things under the influence of her parents and her own conscious understanding. Therefore, logically speaking, Audrey does not think of it as an extraordinary being, but prefers to be an out-of-control seal.

"If it's a wild powerful extraordinaire who happens to be experimenting in the castle, then that's ...... It is still necessary to keep this possibility open. ”

She whispered to herself as she stroked the big golden retriever.

"But that doesn't explain why I wasn't affected...... If it were extraordinary, I would definitely make everyone in the castle affect and leave no fish behind. ”

"Wang."

At this time, Audrey suddenly thought of something and stood up.

Susie also stood up: "Audrey, what are you going to do?" ”

"Susie, I'm going out and I'll be back soon, there's one thing I want to confirm for myself."

As she spoke, the necklace around Audrey's neck suddenly glowed like a star, and the extraordinary object "Lies", which had changed her appearance, showed her spiritual power. Audrey's face changed rapidly, with her golden hair and green eyes changing rapidly.

In just ten seconds, Miss Hall became her second brother, Alfred Hall.

The face is exactly the same, and the temperament is also modeled by Audrey by four or five points, but it is much thinner than the real Alfred.

"Alfred" was still wearing Audrey's home dress, which was very nondescript, and Audrey endured the embarrassment and turned around in front of the dressing mirror in the room, confirming that her current appearance was indeed strange, funny, and exactly the same as Alfred.

Susie ran over in small steps, looked left and right at the current Audrey, and did not react too much to the fact that the canine was not too sensitive to human clothing.

But Audrey still couldn't hold back, and the weird picture of "Alfred in women's clothes" made the corners of her mouth twitch constantly.

Finally, she opened her closet, took out the lady's riding suit she wore when riding, and changed it into trousers that made it easier to move.

Audrey adjusted her face again, modeled herself on Alfred, and transformed herself into a man.

There is no mistake

The sense of disobedience has finally decreased.

"Susie, you're waiting for me right here."

Audrey admonished again, then straightened her clothes and walked out cautiously.

She wore a face of her own fabrication, and she wore a riding costume, and everyone who saw her would think of her as a strange teenager who was a little thin.

On the stairs not far from her bedroom, Audrey managed to meet a maid who had washed her clothes.

The maid slowly went downstairs with a basin of washed clothes, presumably planning to go to the balcony and open space to dry. The maid was also someone she knew, and she saw her several times a week, but she couldn't name it.

Audrey held her breath and made a serious appearance as much as possible, and at the same time was ready to "appease" and "hypnotize" the other party at the first time, preventing the maid from screaming and attracting others when she saw a stranger.

Step by step, the maid walked downstairs.

The maid noticed the strange boy standing in front of her.

Audrey sweated and was ready for all situations.

I saw that the maid didn't make any "surprised" expressions, and naturally bent over Audrey:

"Good afternoon, miss."

Audrey, who was facing the face of a strange man, was shocked, but she immediately and naturally bowed slightly: "Good afternoon." ”

Then, Audrey turned around half a circle "on a whim" and asked the pulp maid: "Does my riding costume look good?" ”

The maid thought that the young lady was joking, so she smiled and praised, "This is very suitable for you." ”

She can notice the ride, but she won't be affected by my face...... Audrey smiled, and walked back to her bedroom at a normal pace, as she usually did.

The moment the door closed, Audrey exhaled a breath.

Her face quickly returned to normal, and her blonde hair draped down like a waterfall.

Seeing this, Susie immediately ran over, first using "psychoanalysis" and then "pacifying". It was about to speak, but when it saw Audrey give it a look, Susie understood, sticking out her tongue and constantly circling Audrey.

After about five minutes, Audrey's grip on the armrest finally let go.

"Susie, am I still me?"

Susie stared at Audrey's eyes tightly and confirmed again: "Audrey, you are still you, you have to trust the judgment of the 'psychiatrist'. ”

Audrey was visibly relieved, and then spoke:

"Susie, you can't imagine that after I became a completely different person, the maid still thinks that I am Audrey."

"Obviously, they have some kind of basis to be able to directly confirm my identity."

"We're going to disprove the previous speculation, and it should be more than just a modified memory...... Well, what is really being modified is cognition, or ......"

What is the similarity between the maid who thinks the strange man is Miss Hall, and Audrey is convinced that a man is Tina, the maid of dim sum?

Audrey suddenly had a flash of inspiration, she and Susie looked at each other, and said in surprise:

"What they are replaced is not cognition and memory, but identity!"

"So, as long as the identity is still 'Tina', whether it becomes a man, an old man or a child, I will feel that it is Tina."

Audrey went on to speculate:

"I took the initiative to meet with the maid, and now I have guessed the truth, but I still haven't been attacked...... If this isn't some extraordinary person with a bad personality trying to torture others, then it should be a seal that has gone out of control! ”

In most cases, it is more difficult to deal with an out-of-control seal than against an extraordinary one, as the seal is not in danger of overdrawing the spirit out of control, nor is it afraid of death.

However, seals often only have instinct and lack wisdom, and if they can make good use of the law, whether it is to save their lives or escape, it is much easier than when facing the extraordinary.

Susie wagged her tail happily: "That's it! Woof! So what do we do now, Audrey? ”

"We should call for help immediately." Audrey said.

The closest to the family castle is the Storm Church in the northern city, but the Hall family are all followers of the goddess, and this matter will be transferred to the Church of the Night through the storm, which will delay some time, not too long.

At the same time, Audrey knows that she has another option, and that is to ask Mr. "Fool" for help.

Audrey looked at Susie, who was beside her, waiting for her to make an idea, and fell into thought.

Mr. "Fool" is a benevolent deity, but I can't ask Mr. "Fool" for help in the first place. She values equivalent exchange, and I can't get anything of value other than Russell's diary...... I always seek the protection of Mr. "Fool" in this way, I will not get any growth, and I will gradually indulge in it until one day I am disgusted by Mr. "Fool......

Try your own efforts, Audrey. Susie and I are both Sequence 7 and are able to help each other and protect ourselves...... Get out of here first, get the word out, and if the Church of the Storm or the Church of the Night doesn't come in time, I'll pray to Mr. Fool right away.

But now, asking for help from the "fools" is not the only means.

Wait, the identity of "Miss Audrey Hall" can't easily leave the family castle. If you insist on leaving, it may cause a bad chain reaction.

Audrey looked at Susie.

Susie tilted her head to look at her.

"Susie, there's something I want to trouble you." Audrey said with a serious expression, "You should have been looking for a tunnel in the castle's garden during this time, right?" Did you find anything? ”

"Yes, there's a little hole under the fence covered by bushes, but you can't get past it, Audrey."

"It's good to have."

Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked to the table, picked up a pen and quickly wrote a few lines. Then she folded the note, put it in an envelope, and stuffed it into the little pet purse that Susie used to pass her letters.

"Susie, you leave the castle and go outside, and find a way to get this letter to the priest of the Storm Church."

"I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll stay in my bedroom while you're gone, and I'll call for help by other means."

Amon walked down the road playing with the Tudor Empire gold coin, and his expression was a little unsightly.

Behind him, the people of this street stood silently, waiting for the parasite's command.

The identity of these people is disordered and affected by it. As for Amun's parasitism, they are equivalent to covering their current identity with the identity of "Amon", as soon as the parasitism ends, the residents will change back to their previous appearance, constantly preventing him from approaching the manor area on the outskirts of the city.

Amon is also not good at using the methods of "secret puppet masters" to control these residents to interpret normal city life, they just do it, and they will soon be discovered by the church.

I don't know if it's his own delusion, but he feels that the sun is not as warm as it was just now.

To be on the safe side, Amon will let go of the previous parasitism after walking a certain distance, and parasitize the crowd that is currently preventing him from moving forward.

"It's probably stopping me like this because it's hiding there, right?"

"Anyway, it's not good for me to go on like this, it just wants to run away, and I have to kill it."

The farther north you go, the more resistance you will encounter, which Amon feels is no longer explained by simple blocking.

Walking around a corner, three or four "traveling vehicles" produced by the Steam Church suddenly burst out of the aristocratic villa in front of Amun—it was all black, with three groups of twelve wheels, and the top was like a ship-like chimney, and white smoke was wafting from it.

This steam-powered car is bulky, massive, and has a limited load, and has no advantages other than running faster than people, and only enthusiasts of steam machinery will buy it.

However, this time, three or four cars actually ran out and crashed straight towards Amon, blocking the street in all directions, reminding Amon of the tanks in the atlas.

"You want to stop me in this way?"

Amon immediately stole the thoughts of the steam-powered car drivers, and for a split second the thoughts went blank, the bulky vehicles collided, making a loud noise and exploding.

The shells of these vehicles are sturdy enough that they don't fly out and kill passers-by.

But just then, Amon suddenly noticed that a small patch of the sky above him had darkened, and a dark cloud was floating above him unreasonably.

These steam-powered cars aren't coming at me, but they want to separate me and expose me to the Church of the Storm?

Well, as Amon is customary, we will fight the Church of the Storm, and we will try to parasitize the bishop on the other side, or parasitize the "substitute punishment" to provoke the other party and wait for an opportunity to escape.

But am I the average Amun?

Amon chose to do the opposite, he pretended to touch his head, but in fact he immediately made the monocle in his right eye disappear, wiped his hair back, and used hairspray to turn his short black curly hair into straight brown hair.

Then Amon raised his hands and said to the clouds in the sky:

"I'm not hostile, as you can see, I'm being targeted."

"I'm sorry for this incident because my extraordinary belongings were stolen and caused casualties in your jurisdiction."

"If you're willing to give me some help in recovering my out-of-control extraordinary items, I'm willing to help you solve this incident."

He was extremely sincere, yielding on the spot - the Storm Bishop is a bunch of reckless men who eat soft rather than hard - and did not use the ability to "deceive the Mentor", leaving the judgment to the Storm Bishop himself, who was watching here.

has been discovered by the other party, and the other party must be aware of it. And this Storm Bishop didn't make Amun Tian thunder and crack for the first time, maybe he was a rare bishop who could think and plan. If you continue to use "fraud" at this time, it will be counterproductive.

Tell the truth, but not quite tell the truth.

Amon: You thought I'd run away, did you? Unthinkable, I surrender!

* Fixed the identity of the Storm Bishop (I wanted to pick up Essnek and use it again, but it turned out that it didn't work.) ）

Revised from Sequence 3 Ace Snake to Sequence 4 Lurmi. (This person is real, and was mentioned by Earl Hall, and is a rare intellectual Storm Bishop)
