Chapter 318: Seeing and Hearing
652
Without waiting for an answer, her vision changed suddenly, and then suddenly rose.
As if entering layer after layer of superimposed oil paint, Audrey looked up and saw all kinds of strange symbols and symbols floating in the sky, including a woman with a flat upper body, a sun with a human face like an abstract children's painting, a river that twists and turns but goes up and down, and the seven lights of the spiritual world that hang at the top but appear from time to time below and to the left and right.
When you pray to Mr. Fool, you can also see the seven lights of the spiritual world...... Audrey realizes that she is traveling through the spirit realm, and she can't help but diverge her mind and begin to observe the situation around her.
Sweeping over, she saw many strange creatures, a huge skull with many tentacles extending from it, which looked like an octopus, and strange bird-like creatures, weird ...... A creature that can't tell what it is. She was full of curiosity about the spirit world, but every time she wanted to take a closer look at something, she felt dizzy, and she couldn't help but look at it and calm down.
Finally, she passed through a door made of candle flames and entered a small study.
The study was stuffed with all kinds of things, including tables and chairs with special patterns, tablecloths and scarves woven with the characteristic images of the ancient Highland Kingdom, papers piled up on the table, and a checkered blanket on the single bed placed against the wall.
"We have an hour of free time, Audrey."
Richard sat behind his desk, reading through the report, and said to Audrey in a friend-like tone, who was floating in the air, feeling like a spirit: "Have you figured out where you are going to sightsee?" β
"Think about it, sir."
Audrey curiously tugged at her own skirt, which was also suspended, and found that the hem of the skirt was naturally fluttering, and the ribbon on the skirt was also winding in the air in a beautiful arc, without the stiffness like a cover after being propped up by the whalebone skirt.
In the presence of an angel, this is more or less a formal occasion. And she didn't wear gloves and no male elders to follow, which was a slightly embarrassing little thing for Rune's noble lady, so she didn't stretch out her hand at the first time:
"I'd like to ask you to take me to the cities of the Southern Continent."
"Do you want to go to Byron?"
Audrey hesitated: "Please let me see the high ground first." β
Alfred's letter made such an impression on her that she wanted to run away from her relationship with Byronβbut she couldn't, and Audrey felt that she couldn't run away, even if she couldn't face it for a while, and if she couldn't accept it, she had to at least try to open her eyes and take a look.
"Alright, let's go."
Richard got up from his seat, put down the papers he was still preparing, burned the letters of plea, and stamped the red stamps of the few who were ready to be executed. Then, she bypassed the iron-framed single bed, which she had not been lying on for a few days, and walked sideways through the gap between the desk and the chest of drawers, and walked to the door of the small study, knocking over a wooden doll on the shelf.
Richard opened the door, and Audrey floated out, and before going out, she casually glanced back, and suddenly saw a wooden doll in a black robe and a mask on the shelf turning its head to look at her.
Audrey was startled, and hurriedly closed the door, only to see that the lower half of the puppet's face was gradually cracking, and the mouth made of living paper was closed one by one, and there seemed to be dark red liquid oozing out of the strangely shaped puppet, flowing down the gap.
I should leave! Audrey immediately wanted to close the door and leave, but suddenly she found that she couldn't take her eyes off, she felt her spirit gradually become heavy, stiff, and constantly close to the ground, and the sound of "Kaka" came from her fingers that could still move......
This is...... Seal...... Thing......?
But at this moment, the puppet's expression suddenly changed, and he saw that a flame suddenly ignited on the spirit body of the Northern Continent people in front of him, and the golden flame burned along his influence on Audrey's spirituality, almost instantly making his spirit painful!
Audrey suddenly came back to her senses, and the control of her body quickly returned to her hands.
"Why don't you go?"
A sentence sounded, suddenly breaking the stagnant atmosphere, the spiritual influence was suppressed, the golden flame was extinguished, Audrey's sluggish thinking seemed to break a certain constraint and return to normal, her spirit body slowly floated up, back to the normal height.
Seeing that Audrey didn't follow, Richard walked back and pushed the door open. She looked at Audrey, who was frightened and nervous and frightened, and at the puppet sitting on the shelf pretending that nothing had happened, and almost didn't think about it before she understood what was happening. As soon as she beckoned, the puppet that looked like a black sunny day doll flew over automatically and was carried in her hand.
Richard frowned and slapped out the flames on him. She didn't take this flame to heart, after all, the other party's family was already preparing to flee to Intis, and the relative who defected was still Yin Rena, so it was not surprising that she had a little protection from the sun.
"Can't you see it's a guest?"
The Angel of Temperance pinched the puppet's neck, and his tone was a little calm: "Control yourself, and remember to tell Mehams when you go back, we will definitely have frequent contact with the people of the Northern Continent in the future, and if you can't control the desire to do it when you see the people of the Northern Continent, I will also send you to the execution table." β
The little puppet struggled a few times, and then lowered its head with a click.
She carried the back of the puppet's neck and handed it to Audrey:
"Apologize to the guest."
Although obscured by the mask, Audrey felt the eyes of the black-robed puppet behind the mask suddenly widen, and she felt as if an extremely fierce gaze was watching her, and everything around her seemed to have life at the same moment, and her spirit began to vibrate violently. But the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, Tawfik glares at Audrey, and Richard stares at him from behind. There was a stalemate for a while, and in the end, Tawfik did not apologize, but stubbornly lowered his head.
"I apologize to you on his behalf, I'm really embarrassed, I'll let you see that I don't discipline my subordinates effectively."
After wasting a few minutes, Richard didn't continue to stalemate, she stuffed the black puppet into her waist bag, and put on a gentle smile again: "Maybe he needs a while to change and think, let's go, Audrey, I'll take you around the city." β
"Okay."
Audrey's hands clasped together unconsciously, and she felt a little embarrassed: "Excuse me, is that a ......?" β
γ
"My subordinates are usually very good, but they are too young and lack self-control."
Richard walked forward, Audrey followed in a flutter, and occasionally one or two people who didn't seem to be in their right mind walked by, but when they got close to Richard, they immediately became normal.
They walked through the corridor, climbed out of the window, and stood directly on the zenith of the balcony below.
The route was a bit strange, but it wasn't too difficult for either of them, and the moment they left the room, Audrey subconsciously reached out to block her eyes, blocking the harsh sunlight - indeed, as Alfred said, the sun in the southern continent was too good and too warm, and now it was mid-August in the middle of summer, and the hot sunlight fell on her spirit, bringing a warm and comfortable feeling.
But if you come here in this dress, you will definitely feel so hot that you won't even want to go out.
"Audrey, if you're interested here, I'll consider putting you in the hospital."
Richard stretched, stretched out his hand to greet Audrey, who was looking at the mountain peaks in the distance, and walked along the balcony to the brown-red roof of the house next to him: "After the modification of the play, the chance of our low sequence getting out of control has decreased, but the loss of control of the middle and high sequences has increased. β
"Can the cosplay be modified?" Audrey asked curiously.
"Yes, at the end of the day, it's all about acting."
She floated up to the roof with Richard, and saw a large pot of bread, vegetables, and diced meat boiling in the distance, surrounded by a circle of children of different shades of brown skin, large and small. The cooks kept adding spices to it, and adults and children alike kept swallowing saliva, and even Audrey, who had no body, seemed to feel the strong aroma.
Next to these men was a building that had just reached the third floor, still empty, with no furniture, and a few rows of dusty floors looming on the second floor where the dirt had not been cleared.
What really caught Audrey's attention were the people who were carrying the building materials, those who were big and round-shouldered, silent, no heartbeat, no breathing, no vital signs, they were carrying four sandbags alone, but they didn't make a sound, and their feet sank slightly into the ground when they walked.
The living corpses were carrying sandbags and mixing cement, while several spirits were floating at the height of the second floor, carrying paint buckets and brushes, evenly coating the exterior walls of the houses with white paint.
Audrey was stunned, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should be surprised that the extraordinary person would walk so directly on the road and participate in the construction activity, or should she be surprised that someone would use her extraordinary ability to build a house.
Her curiosity was piqued, and she began to observe where this extraordinary being wasβonly one of the children and adults below had a powerful spiritual reaction, and that was the chef who was cooking a large pot of rice with a spoon.
On closer inspection, the cook seemed to have no shadow or feet, just a silhouette wrapped in his clothes and a face towel......
Audrey, who is now a spirit body, felt a vague attraction from the chef's body, she couldn't help but take a look, she couldn't get enough of it, and then she looked at it again, and then remembered the warning given to her by the puppet-like powerhouse just now, and immediately shifted her attention and looked away:
"Does the Heights allow the Extraordinary to participate directly in society?"
"Allowed, although it was only started this week." Richard nodded, "A lot of people don't want to, and I put some effort into educating them. In the same amount of time, a medium sequence can complete two construction projects alone, and if they only want to continue to enjoy the same happiness as they did in the previous Church of the Bound God, I will leave their characteristics to the better educated. β
Sounds scary...... Audrey muttered a little in her heart.
"The Byron Empire...... Is this also the case? Is it all like this in the Southern Continent? After understanding the current situation, Audrey suddenly had many questions, "There are still many wild extraordinary organizations in the Northern Continent, has this kind of phenomenon been eliminated in the Southern Continent?" β
"It is impossible to completely eradicate it in the short term, but it can be minimized, alas, I really envy the absolute binding force of Xiya and their 'Grim Reaper' path."
The Angel of Temperance sighed.
"The Grim Reaper of the Byron Empire, the orders of the two consuls, pass through the territory of Byron, and they want to make the productivity of the extraordinary people use the people, and the extraordinary ones obey all orders, and none of them resist."
"But prisoners can't, they have to be strongly restrained to act, and although the system of the republic has been established, the rules and social norms need to be built gradually."
The Grim Reaper has absolute control over the path from top to bottom...... The Byron Empire not only had the Grim Reaper, but also two consuls......
It was as if a grand world had unfolded in front of Audrey, and her curiosity about the Byron Empire temporarily overrode her disgust with it.
"By the way, the execution table you just mentioned, ......?"
"Ahh
Richard said in the same tone:
"Many people who rely on this way to play can no longer control themselves, just like taking an overdose of hallucinogenic drugs and simply can't tolerate them, some of them are due to their character, and some of them are degraded for the sake of strength...... But I don't have a choice, I'd rather ditch some of the unstable factors and then cultivate a more stable group of people who adapt to the new way of acting. β
Audrey felt the helplessness and unquestionability in the other party's tone.
"That's why I'm trying to recruit some psychiatrists...... Use extraordinary abilities to treat people whose hearts have not completely changed, and if they still want to save themselves instead of continuing to indulge, there may be a chance to save a few. β
"After all, I can't just watch them die and then criticize them for damning."
"That's ......"
When it comes to extraordinary, it always returns to the topic of acting, losing control, and dying in the end, and no one can avoid it.
Audrey's mood was not affected by this, but became more determined.
She turned her head to look, and saw that the spirit cook had already begun to serve the food in the pot to the children holding the small tin bowls, and the adults around her would also exchange one or two copper plates for a large bowl, and no one seemed to be afraid of the "living corpses" and "spirits" that appeared in the sunlight - Audrey even saw a small child jump up and try to touch the cook, but the latter floated away.
The noon sun gave people a headache, and with a wave of his hand, a huge oilcloth flew up out of thin air, and on the firewood pile next to it, several firewood and ropes flew over by themselves, and in an instant, an awning that could accommodate more than ten people was made.
Some of the adults inevitably showed expressions of surprise and fear, but the children clapped their hands and laughed in admiration.
Audrey's mouth opened slightly, she felt her eyes sparkle, and she almost couldn't help but want to show her extraordinary abilities at once - but the power of the audience often appeared subtly, and could not directly achieve such a magical effect, Audrey reluctantly turned around, and quickly floated to keep up with Richard.
ββ¦β¦ The building is expected to be built within a week, and I've heard that Intis's steam teaching can be used to assist with huge steam robots if it is at full power, but this equipment is currently used to carry containers in the port, and it is too unsafe in the city. β
"Intis still has a giant robot?" Audrey was a little unimaginable.
The kind of boy's toys must not be found next to a standard aristocratic lady, and the only thing she can think of is her own rag dolls...... A rag doll that is magnified hundreds of times and as tall as a house, carrying goods in a port?
"It's exciting that the Steam Church has hidden technologies that aren't used...... But the extraordinary can't be dug up, so they still have to rely on themselves. β
It seems that quite a few parts of the city have been destroyed and are now being actively rebuilt.
There were a lot of people coming and going, and Audrey observed them, guessing their possible jobs through their clothes and movements, and she was curious about everything in the Southern Continent, where the people seemed to be similar to the Northern Continent, but different in every way.
Richard stopped and watched for a moment, and the crowd below quickly noticed her and greeted her happily.
"Uncle Richard!"
A couple of children in simple clothes made of sacks jumped close to the roof of the house, Richard jumped from the roof, and Audrey hid behind the chimney. The children gathered around happily, and the Angel of Temperance reached out and touched the hair of one of them, crushing the lice that had been picked out of the hair and making a strange and loud noise.
The children laughed loudly, and the children who had been touched by their hair did not care at all, only a little embarrassed, and even tried to pick a few lice from the clothes of their friends who laughed the most.
"Have you eaten well lately, have you studied hard?"
Richard squatted down with a smile, and even if she squatted, she was a cut above the children.
The children nodded busily: "Mila has told me a story in the evening!" β
"Teacher Ima praised me for being fast at math!"
"The bread has been delicious recently......"
"So Uncle Richard, do you have any candy to eat today?"
Facing a pair of bright eyes, Richard immediately smiled and nodded: "Of course there is!" Close your eyes. β
The children immediately closed their eyes and waited expectantly. Audrey couldn't help but poke her head out, only to see Richard take out a handkerchief from her pocket, she put the handkerchief in her hand, spiritual power flashed, and when she opened her hand again, this handkerchief had turned into more than a dozen delicate and cute, brightly colored candies with wrapping paper.
What an extraordinary ability...... Audrey was stunned.
"Okay, you can open your eyes - don't rob! Everybody! β
The children laughed, jumped, and picked their favorite candy from the hands of the Angel of Temperance, and looking at Richard Ernst who was messing with the children, it was hard for her to imagine that this was an angel, one of the future leaders of a country, and a figure equal to the pope and the pope of the major churches.
She only felt that if the people of the Highlands had been bombed before, then this angel would definitely protect them.
Thinking of the reality unveiled by Mr. "Fool", more or less, Audrey felt a hint of envy.
β¦β¦
The True Creator threw a monster the size of a house on the ground, pretended to pray to the "Fool", and then used the power of purification to remove the contamination from the monster's body. The sarcoma, excess limbs and parts of the monster have not disappeared, but the toxins and pollution have disappeared.
"It's not a human mutation." The True Creator made up her mind, but didn't feel her mood change because of it, she looked at the people of Moon City who were looking at her with reverence, and did not forget to praise the Fool, "Take it back, eating it will not accumulate any toxins, and it will even alleviate the accumulation of toxins that are too severe...... If you are willing to convert to the Fool, you can always pray to her. β
"Thank you, missionary of Mr. Fool."
The team leader walked up and saluted the true creator respectfully, they stopped in an area about five hundred meters outside the Moon City, in the process of hunting together, this team has developed a lot of good feelings towards the missionaries of the "fool", and the initial wariness and antipathy to the pagan gods have basically disappeared - in the Eastern Continent, people who are good at hunting, powerful, and related to gods will always be especially favored.
The hunting team exchanged glances for a moment, but still spoke tentatively.
"If you'd like to come to Moon City as a guest......"
The True Creator took a deep look at the city in the distance, shrouded in the shimmer of torches, and slowly shook his head.
"No need."
"That's all for me, and I'm going somewhere else."
With that, she carried the lantern, said goodbye to the somewhat helpless hunting team in front of her, turned around, and almost instantly melted into the pure shadows of the night in the Eastern Continent.
In the next moment, she appeared in the extreme distance, and under her feet was a huge crack, and in the crack, the wreckage of high-rise buildings, cars and houses buried in dust and history, light signs, attention appeared in her eyes.
She stared at the wreckage of the old city, then glanced somewhere behind her.
Edward spun from behind a rock, patted the dust off her body, and shrugged at the true creator, "I thought you'd have to wait a little longer and talk to the people of that city for a few more days before you come." β
"No, Crane will help them instead of me, and no one can replace what I have to do. I think I'm in a very mixed mood right now, and you're right, it's probably my best moment. β
The True Creator shook his head and walked towards another wreck in the distance:
"There's no need to wait any longer, I'm going to be here sooner or laterβsooner or later."
