As Ms. Catherine stepped into the hall of the troupe, she saw two figures, one male and one female.

Among them, the man has black hair and brown eyes, thick eyebrows, and his hair is combed back, which makes him look quite mature.

Next to him was a brown-haired girl, who looked innocent and cute, but faintly revealed a tenacity.

However, the expressions of both of them were very worried, nervous, and uneasy.

Is this Brian's brother?

With a hint of doubt in her heart, Lady Catherine looked at the two of them and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the two of you?"

Although she probably knew the purpose of the two people in front of her, Ms. Catherine still felt that she should first ask what was wrong and understand the situation before she could face what was going to happen.

The men were none other than Brian's older brother, Noel Morris, and Bertha Polly.

When the former saw someone coming out, and it was still a lady with a very good look and temperament, he forced a little smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "I'm Brian's brother, Noel Morris." I'm here to know how my brother is doing, and I want to ask if you know what's wrong with him? ”

Lady Catherine's expression moved slightly, and she vaguely heard a hint of something wrong in this passage, as if something unexpected had happened......

Thinking like this, the corners of her mouth turned down slightly, and a sad look appeared on her face. Then he took a few steps forward and shook Knoll's hand.

"Hello Mr. Knoll, I'm the head of this acting troupe, Catherine Motley. I don't know what you said about Brian, what happened? ”

Noll withdrew his palm, took advantage of it to take a closer look at the lady in front of him, and after feeling that the other party really didn't know anything, he roughly said that he had found Brian crazy.

"Brian went crazy?" Lady Catherine's head tilted slightly, and her mind raced, and she quickly thought of the most plausible possibility.

The paper man with a human skin glove......

Catherine quickly took a few steps to the table in the corner, motioned for the two to sit down first, and then talked slowly.

When Noel and Bertha sat down, she tapped her fingers on the table with a rhythmic "thump" and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know about it." Can you tell us more about where Brian was found? I'm worried about him too. ”

"Nature." In the sound of small collisions, Knoll carefully explained the specific process of meeting Brian to go crazy from front to back.

In the end, his neck moved slightly, his head turned down, and his eyes suddenly drooped, and he didn't move.

At the same time, the same happened to Miss Bertha, who was sitting next to him.

"It's so easy, it looks like I haven't rested for a long time." Ms. Catherine muttered to herself, then stood up and shouted in the direction of the backyard intersection, "Come out, I hypnotized them."

The words fell, and Brian's figure slowly walked out.

He had been hesitating to say anything about it, but after hearing his brother's conversation with Lady Catherine, he realized that something might be wrong and hid in the aisle.

"You should have heard everything, right?" Ms. Catherine asked.

"Well, I heard it." Brian nodded, looked at his brother and Bertha, and asked uneasily, "What should I do?" Do you want to confess to them? ”

"It's not your only option." Lady Catherine leaned lazily against the wall and continued, "I can help you revise their memories so that they can forget everything that happened and return to their normal lives."

Brian was slightly surprised, but not too surprised, and asked again, "So what to do?" Are there any side effects or dangers? ”

"Rest assured, it's safe." With a gesture of her palm, the yellow parrot that was waiting in its cage by the wall moved.

Its mechanical, yet realistic, wings fluttered, and flew lightly in front of the two of them.

Brian looked at the parrot hovering in the air, his eyes blurred, and the world began to spin and twist, crumpling into a lump.

When his consciousness reawakened and the world reorganized, he found himself in a strange place.

The ground is pink, the surrounding plants are colorful, many birds chirping in the treetops, and the sound of the waves of the sea can be heard from time to time.

Everything was like a dream.

"What kind of place is this? Hallucinations? ”

At this moment, the figure of Lady Catherine appeared to the side, and a yellow parrot stood on her shoulder: "This is your brother's 'spiritual island'."

"'Spirit Island'......" Brian repeated in a low voice, then asked in confusion, "What is that?"

"An island materialized by the spiritual consciousness of a person, it is located in the 'spiritual world', which carries all the memories of a person, and at the same time expresses a person's mental state at all times."

Catherine put her hands in her pockets, looked left and right, and then walked casually in one direction.

Brian resolutely trotted to catch up, as if he had been in the academy before, and kept asking questions.

"Lady Catherine, what is the 'spiritual world'? Is it another world? A world like the 'underworld' and the 'spirit world'? ”

"And what exactly do you mean by carrying memories and expressing mental states?"

The so-called "underworld" and "spirit world" are one of the things that Brian and Cole learned when they studied the occult.

Among them, the "underworld" is the destination of all the dead, and the "spirit world" is the chaotic world formed by the combination of knowledge and the future.

As she walked, Lady Catherine came to the edge of the land, and saw an endless sea and islands at intervals.

These islands, like the ones they are now setting foot on, are all dazzling in multicolored appearances.

"Wow~" Temporarily attracted by everything in front of him, Brian cautiously walked to the shore and looked at the sea and clouds in front of him.

The sea is so clear that you can easily see all kinds of strange creatures floating on the surface. They were creatures he had never seen or heard of, not even in books.

There are large crimson fish with sharp horns on its forehead, gray crocodiles with two jaws, jellyfish with tentacles and palms, and puffer fish with six eyes......

It was still what he saw, and it was hard to imagine what else lay in the depths of the sea.

"Be careful not to fall, this sea will 'eat people'." Suddenly, Lady Catherine reminded her.

"Shhh......hh He gasped and hurriedly took a few steps back, his expression trembling with horror.

Ms. Catherine did not explain too much, and then stretched out her hand and pointed ahead: "The 'spiritual world' is the place where the spirit of all real beings gathers, and it exists in the depths of the spiritual consciousness of every living being."

"Do you see the islands of the sea? Those places, like those beneath our feet, are the product of the spiritual materialization of living beings. ”

"The stronger the spirit, the larger and more expansive the 'spiritual island' will become...... Animals like the ones that are only the size of a reef and are more formed by the spirits of low-intelligence creatures, such as rabbits, sheep, rats, etc. ”

Finally, she pointed to a big tree behind her: "More than another question, taste the fruit of the tree, you will know the answer."

Brian nodded silently, walked over to the big tree that Ms. Bai Gu pointed to, and looked left and right.

The tree in front of me was half an adult in size, with pale golden oval leaves, and on the branches were egg-sized fruits of the same color with smooth and translucent skin.

Brian reached out and plucked one, looked at it carefully and put it in his mouth.

As you chew up and down your mouth, the rich juice of the fruit bursts out, and a slightly sweet aroma pours into your throat.

However, this kind of respite did not bring Brian a trace of joy, but a little more nostalgia and melancholy.

He thought of his deceased parents, and his young brother, and an unspeakable sadness crept up to the tip of his heart, making him close his eyes gently.

"Is this feeling something my brother has ever experienced?"

……

Lady Catherine stood aside, silently, waiting.

When Brian's expression returned to normal, she slowly walked towards the center of the island.

"Let's go quickly, this is not something you can stay for long, and your 'paper man' has also been found, you should find it as soon as possible......"

"Hmm." Brian nodded and followed.

Soon, the two of them reached the center of the island and saw a place that was completely different from the surrounding scene.

There are no more colorful colors, only a single black.

"What is this?" Brian wondered.

"The 'black zone' of the 'spiritual island' contains most of the negative emotions, including the memory of seeing you go crazy."

Ms. Catherine continued, "Now we can go back by simply amnesticizing or modifying this part."

As she spoke, the yellow parrot on her shoulder, which had not moved, suddenly waved its wings in a gesture that was about to take off.

She also looked at Brian and asked solemnly, "Do you have any advice for this matter?" It's your brother's memory, after all. ”

"I don't understand this, just look at it." Brian shook his head slightly.

Although he is young and has little knowledge, he knows that professional things should be handed over to professional people, and success is not troublesome.

"That's ......," said the yellow parrot on Lady Catherine's shoulder, which flew into the air in an instant, hovering in a dark area, as if looking for something......

As time passed, Brian's body trembled, he felt a slight dizziness in his head, and he wanted to sleep.

"Haven't I rested in a long time? Or is it the peculiarity of the 'spiritual island'? ”

Before she could figure out an answer, or before Miss Catherine could explain, Brian heard a crisp chirp, followed by several bird calls.

He held his forehead with one hand, and when he looked up, he saw countless birds flocking to the "black zone" of the "spiritual island", forming a colorful cloud with a shaky appearance.

The next moment, a bird's call stood out in the midst of the chaos, as if some order had been given, and all the birds crowded into one place, constantly pecking at everything that existed in that area with their sharp beaks.

Seeing that Brian was about to reach the critical point of bearing, Lady Catherine thought of distracting the other party for a long time, and simply explained:

"These birds are called 'Dream Doves', and they are extraordinary creatures that only live in the 'spiritual world'."

"They feed on spirits and memories, and their cries have the power to interfere with the consciousness of other living beings. In reality, people's insomnia, dreaminess, inattention, and even amnesia, Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and other mental diseases are directly or indirectly related to them. ”

Bryce gritted his teeth and listened carefully through the pain, afraid of missing a word.

After the lady beside him finished speaking, he asked suspiciously: "In this case, if the 'dream dove' is cleaned up, will these diseases not be there anymore?"

Lady Catherine took a few steps closer to Brian, and there was a sense of comfort and comfort around her

This is the "soothing" ability of the "hypnotist", which can directly and effectively stabilize a person's mental state.

Then she thought about it and replied seriously: "Maybe...... But that's not necessarily a good thing. ”

"The 'Dream Dove' is not a pure pest, but also acts as a 'psychiatrist', and when people are full of negative emotions, they are there to calm down."

"If there are no 'dream doves', people may not be able to support suicide when they encounter external pressure......

……

Swinging his head in a trance, Brian forcibly opened his eyes and found that he and Lady Catherine had returned to the real world.

Then he saw his brother and Miss Bertha not far ahead, and they were gradually opening their eyes.

Seeing this scene, Brian endured the discomfort and hurriedly straightened up, showing the usual appearance of nothing.

"Haah~" Noel covered his mouth and yawned, and when he woke up from his trance, he saw the female leader of the performance troupe and his younger brother who suddenly appeared in front of him.

He remembered that he was still talking to Lady Catherine, why did he fall asleep all of a sudden?

Stunned by the incoherent memory, Knoll froze in place, and after a pause, he pulled Bertha, who was also confused, to his feet and apologized.

"I'm sorry we fell asleep here......"

"Huh? Yes! Miss Bertha, who came to her senses, also said, "I'm sorry for the trouble!"

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of Lady Catherine's mouth, and she whispered comfortingly: "No, you came to Brian after the earthquake, you must not have had a good rest."

"Now that Brian is out, let's talk first, and then we all go home and rest, don't be too tired of yourself, your body is the most important thing."

"Well, I'll take notice. Brian has been taken care of by you for this time. Knoll nodded in agreement, and after a few more small talks with Lady Catherine, she watched them leave.

After Lady Catherine was gone, Knoll reached out and fumbled with Brian and asked with concern, "Are you alright?" Are there any injuries? ”

"Uh......" Brian had just opened his mouth, realizing that he had no idea what his brother's memories were like after being altered, and some of the questions were difficult to answer.

To be on the safe side, he replied succinctly, "I'm fine!" How are you guys? ”

Hearing his brother say that it was okay, Knoll and Bertha were relieved, and the former sighed again: "We're okay too, but I was startled at the beginning of the earthquake." At that time, I went to your bedroom to look for you, and only when I found that no one did I remember that you lived here. ”

"It's all right!" Brian smiled.

He had never stayed overnight in the troupe before, and now that his brother had such a memory, he didn't have to go home at night and sneak out again when he needed to.

At this time, Bertha smiled "hehe" and said slightly teasingly: "It's okay, it's okay, but someone is almost crazy......"

"Aren't you worried about him...... Noel tilted his head, then took one of them in one hand and continued, "Let's go buy some ingredients and go home, just a little celebration."

"Okay." Brian nodded decisively.

Ms. Catherine's words just now hinted at letting him go back to rest, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Immediately, he thought of something again, and his heart couldn't help sinking, and he hurriedly said to the two: "Suddenly I remembered that I still have some things, brother and Miss Bertha, you go to the market for a while, and I'll go to you later."

"If I haven't been here for too long, you guys will go back first!"

"Okay." Knoll nodded in agreement without much thought, not even asking "why".

It's not that he doesn't care, it's that his younger brother is old, and it's normal to have his own things, and he should understand and support him as an older brother......
