Queens, inside the luxurious villa of the Earl Hall's family.

Audrey sat in front of the vanity mirror, her eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about something tricky.

Suddenly, a lady in a black dress appeared in the mirror, as if out of thin air, and walked to the luxurious soft bed covered with velvet bedding that belonged to Audrey.

Audrey frowned slightly, turned around and asked softly:

"What have you been doing lately?"

Calula threw herself on the bed, clasped her hands on the soft pillow, and muttered:

"Don't you never ask me about things? Why do you suddenly care about this? ”

Audrey heard that her voice was a little tired, and couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and said in an unusually firm tone:

"I have to make sure what you're doing doesn't threaten my family."

Calula rolled her eyes and sighed helplessly:

"After all this time together, can't you trust me more? Sometimes I really suspect that you're the 'jealous' witch. ”

Audrey stared at her tightly and answered her question with her eyes:

No.

She and Kalula had the 'Three Chapters of the Covenant', and Carlula could continue to follow her, and she was not qualified to refuse anyway. But in exchange, Calula can't appear in front of her family, because Count Hall and they still don't know about Calula's existence, because Audrey doesn't want her parents to worry or put them in danger.

Calula agreed to this condition without hesitation, but she did not follow Audrey all the time as she said before, but disappeared from time to time, and every time she came back, she looked extremely tired.

This made Audrey vaguely uneasy, because she had no idea what Calula had done. If Calula were just an ordinary person, she wouldn't worry about anything at all, but Calulah is a Sequence 2 angel!

Emotionally speaking, Audrey is willing to trust Callula.

Because so far, Calula has never shown a threatening side to her, nor has she acted against her in any way. Instead, it was Calula who helped her become a Sequence 5 Extraordinary, and told her many secrets that she shouldn't have known at her level.

By all accounts, Calula's behavior was impeccable, and Audrey had no reason to doubt her.

But as a 'spectator', Audrey instinctively doubted everything. She didn't believe that she could see through Calula's disguise, so she couldn't be sure that all of what Kalula was showing was real.

Just like the famous quote of Russell the Great:

What you see may only be what others want you to see.

Audrey is in such a situation now, and all she knows may be just what Calulah wants her to know! She has no ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and can only rely on intuition to judge, and the results of her judgment cannot be trusted even by herself.

So it's not so much that Audrey doesn't trust Calula, it's that she doesn't trust herself.

Because I can't see through Calula, because I can't tell the truth of all this, because the difference in strength between the two sides is too desperate. So even if Calula was extremely sincere, even if what she said was true, she still couldn't win Audrey's trust.

Audrey also understands this truth, and also understands that her vigilance is likely to be meaningless, but she has never been able to let go of this guard.

That's why Calulah said that Audrey was a 'jealous' witch -

Doesn't love anyone, and is not loved by anyone.

Trust no one and be trusted by anyone.

Of course, this is somewhat biased.

After all, it's not that Audrey can't be trusted, she just can't let her guard down.

And all of this is not without the reason why Calula deliberately guided -

Audrey is also aware of this.

Maybe it's because she's been promoted to Sequence 5, or maybe it's because Calula was deliberately seen by her.

"Okay, okay, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."

Calula retreated in Audrey's determined eyes, and sighed helplessly, as if she wanted to compromise, but her tone was full of indifference, and she said lazily:

"Didn't I tell you? Until then, I had been avoiding promotion to Sequence 2. ”

Audrey nodded silently, she did remember Calulah say that, but she didn't know why.

She originally thought that Calula was worried about the risk of losing control, but with the soul of the king, she could obviously complete the promotion very easily, and she didn't have to worry about the trouble of losing control at all. That being the case, wouldn't it be good to advance to Sequence 2 early?

"In this day and age, Promotion Sequence 2 is in some ways a curse."

"Because once you advance to Sequence 2, you will inevitably gain the gaze of certain beings. And these beings will often 'plug in' when you are promoted, which leads to those who do not have the protection of the big forces if they are promoted to Sequence 2 alone, and the end will only be extremely miserable......"

Kalula smiled meaningfully, and the words 'pollution' and 'out of control' almost immediately popped into Audrey's mind. Calula watched Audrey's reaction as she continued:

"Among them, the 'apprenticeship' path has been the most severely affected. In other ways, as long as there is the protection of other angels, the danger caused by these gazes can be avoided to the greatest extent as long as there is the protection of other angels. However, the 'traveling mages' of the 'apprentice' path are subjected to several times or even dozens of times the 'gaze' of other paths. ”

"Unless there is a true God himself who provides refuge, he will almost certainly be affected by the gaze."

But Audrey quickly seized on the loophole in Calula's words and asked rhetorically:

"But that's not a problem for you, is it?"

Since Calula has the King's Soul in her hands, and with the power of the King's Soul, she can avoid getting out of control and pollution, so she doesn't need to worry about the risk of promotion Sequence 2 like everyone else, which cannot be the reason why she avoids promotion.

"Pollution is certainly not a problem."

Calula rolled over, straightened her arms and stretched her graceful body, and said lazily: "But it will inevitably attract the 'attention' of some of them, which is the most troublesome thing, so I originally planned to collect enough extraordinary traits for promotion sequence 0 to be promoted at once." ”

Audrey was silent, although suspected of exaggeration. But Audrey had already seen the 'miracle' of the king's soul, so she didn't even doubt Calula's words.

It's just that even if you can't collect the extraordinary characteristics of promotion sequence 0, then can't sequence 1 too?

As if to see the girl's confusion, Calula explained to herself:

"Two of the three copies of the extraordinary properties of the 'utopian' pathway1 and the uniqueness are in the same person's hands, and I have been trying to find his place through the traces he has left behind. He doesn't pay special attention to my existence until I am promoted, because I am only a Sequence 3 and I am not a threat to Him. This gave me the opportunity to find Him, but unfortunately He was always very cautious, and I couldn't find any trace of Him. ”

"And now that I've been promoted to Sequence 2, I'm naturally on the threat list by him, and it's even harder to find him if I get his attention."

"Sequence 1 'Writer' of the 'audience' approach is definitely one of the most difficult Sequence 1 to deal with. Because the 'writer' has the ability to make every word known, and because he has the ability to turn the story he writes into reality, even the true God may not be able to grasp him. ”

Calula snorted, as if a little upset, and then added:

"Other than that, the rest is in the hands of the Night Church, but it's nowhere to be found."

Audrey silently became a qualified listener, all of which was still too far away from her.

However, according to Kalula, she is actually quite unlucky, because the promotion of the 'Visionary' path has been completely blocked, and she has almost no possibility of being promoted to Sequence 1!

"Of course, I didn't either."

Audrey muttered something in her heart.

Although she is not even a demigod now, it is still inevitable that she will regret not having the opportunity to glimpse a higher level. She doesn't have the luxury of becoming the true god of Sequence 0, but the angels of Sequence 1 are actually very good.

Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing, after all, once you become an angel in Sequence 1, you have to fight each other to become the true god of Sequence 0. Because in order to become Sequence 0, they must collect all of the 3 Sequence 1 extraordinary traits, which means that they must kill other Angels in the same path Sequence 1......

And even if he doesn't have the ambition to become a sequence 0, he has to be forced to get involved in this never-ending fight in order to protect himself.

However, Calulah chose to be promoted knowing that it would be more difficult to find 'Him' as a Sequence 2. This means that she has more important things to do, and she can only do this if she gets promoted, and this may be the reason why Calula has been 'missing' so often lately!

"You were promoted to what you're doing now?" Audrey couldn't help but blurt out.

"Almost."

Calula glanced at Audrey with deep meaning, admitted it very calmly, and said casually:

"If you had to summarize what I'm doing right now, well, you'd just assume that I'm dreaming."

"Dreaming?"

Audrey was stunned for a moment, this answer was somewhat beyond her imagination.

Promotion Sequence 2 is just for dreaming?

Obviously, for the vast majority of people, just becoming Sequence 2 is a pipe dream in itself, right? Moreover, what kind of dream does it take to do it in Sequence 2?

Audrey almost subconsciously thought that Calula was teasing her, but reason told her that there was no need for Carulah to do so.

After all, Calula has already said this, so why lie to her?

"What kind of dream?" Audrey couldn't help but ask.

"A dream that encompasses the whole world." Kalu stretched out her white index finger, then nodded her red lips again, and said softly:

"Hmm~, in a sense, it's the same dream as Adam, the organizer of the Dusk Hermit Society."

"The Dusk Hermit ......"

Audrey's mind subconsciously flashed through the mysterious organization that secretly manipulated the trend of the times, and also subconsciously flashed Mr. 'Fool's advice-

Whoever speaks, will be known!

Don't mention this organization in any way in reality, or it will be perceived by the other party.

Audrey was a little nervous for no reason, as if she had sensed that someone was watching them...... She subconsciously wanted to warn Calula of Mr. 'Fool', but when she looked at Karula, she noticed that the corners of the lady's mouth were slightly upturned. In a trance, a figure appeared in front of Audrey's eyes.

He was dressed in a simple white robe, with a pale gold beard that covered the lower half of his face, with eyes as clear and simple as a baby, and a cross pendant on his chest, like the most ordinary priest.

But the appearance of this person made Audrey a little incredible, because she clearly saw the white-robed priest, but she couldn't lock his position at all. He was there, but he wasn't in his eyes, not in this room, as if what she saw was just an illusion!

Audrey was in a trance, when she suddenly saw Calula standing in front of her, standing in front of the white-robed priest, with a joke in her eyes:

"Found you!"

Just in the blink of an eye, the white-robed priest in front of Audrey's eyes disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed. At the same time, the lady who was lying on her side on the bed had disappeared.

This series of changes made Audrey even more unexpected, but in addition to a sudden realization, there was also a deep fear.

The departure of the white-robed priest made her suddenly realize a lot of things. The scenes of her behavior these days flashed back in her mind, and the details that she ignored in the past are now recalled one by one!

Something is wrong, something is very wrong!

Recently, she is very wrong!

The girl's face turned slightly pale, but an unhappy voice suddenly sounded in her ears:

"Tsk, that's damn cautious."

Audrey looked up, and the figure of Calula appeared in her eyes again, lying on her side on the bed, her posture languid, as if she had never left.

"Don't you have anything to ask?" Calula asked with a smile as she met Audrey's gaze.

Audrey pursed her lips and asked in a low voice:

"What the hell just happened?"

"In short, you're being targeted."

He ...... Who is He? ”

Faced with Calula's still casual answer, Audrey was desperate to know the answer and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't you already have the answer?"

Calula asked rhetorically with a grin.

"Adam."

Audrey lifted her lips lightly, but didn't spit out the word.

The organizer behind the Dusk Hermit's Society, the owner of the extraordinary properties and uniqueness of the two copies of Sequence 1, and the person closest to Sequence 0, is also the goal that Calulah has been pursuing!

"When ...... Him"

Audrey opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

"Don't worry."

Kalu stretched his waist and said in a lazy tone:

"Although he has been influencing you for a long time, he has always only manipulated it through 'coincidence', and he didn't dare to show it too obviously, otherwise he would have been found out a long time ago. This time he was a little too anxious to catch the flaw, but now it seems that this is just a temptation for him. ”
