Chapter 88: Anomalies in the Gray Mist
Above the mysterious gray mist, in the midst of a magnificent temple.
Three clusters of crimson light suddenly appeared around the long bronze table of twenty-two high-backed chairs, and they gradually formed illusory figures, and then became clear.
Klein Moretti, the "Fool", who had already prepared for the meeting, looked at the three members of the Tarot Society in turn, Miss Justice still maintained her curiosity and excitement about everything, and Mr. Hanged Man still seemed to be full of fear of the meeting venue and this gray fog space, and his movements were the smallest and most cautious.
Miss Queen......
The color in the depths of her aura has become more pure, is it a promotion?
But her state seemed to be a little wrong, although under the hazy effect of the gray mist, she couldn't see the queen's face clearly, but her body curled up slightly, as if she was still trembling a little, did something happen before pulling her up the gray mist?
Klein frowned slightly, a little curious, but out of the majesty of the "fool", it was not good to ask directly.
Fortunately, the attentive Miss Justice quickly discovered the abnormality of her companion beside her.
"Miss Queen, what's wrong with you?"
The hanged man also looked away, and then quickly glanced at the fool, as if to guess the cause of the queen's abnormality.
“…… No, I'm fine, um, I accidentally fell asleep before the meeting, and I was a little dizzy just now. ”
The Queen's physical abnormality quickly disappeared, and she straightened up again, took a deep breath, and apologized to all the attendees.
"I'm sorry for the delay, Mr. Fool, Miss Justice, Mr. Hanged Man, let's get started."
——————
Echoing Justice and the Hanged Man's congratulations and praise for the Fool's "successful ritual magic", Angel still felt like her head had turned into a mess, groggy and almost vomited.
If you vomit at the meeting place of the Tarot Society, the life of the Extraordinary will be over......
Suppressing the discomfort in her body, she recalled the moment she was surrounded by crimson and entered the gray mist space just now.
A memory suddenly crossed her mind.
A memory that doesn't belong to her, but "should belong to her".
Say goodbye to Dali, who is channeling, and return to the room after testing the spirituality that grows after the promotion sequence 8 "Instigator".
Wake up and talk to Clement, who is healing from his injuries.
Visit Rupert Norman, who has not yet recovered.
Accompany Dali after work to the restaurant she recommended for dinner.
Greet the Beckland Nightwatcher team, who are a step late, and meet Lorotta and Borgia again.
On the street at night, I came across a middle-aged priest in a simple white robe and had a brief conversation with him.
It was only then that she realized that the memory of a whole day in the port of Nmatt had vanished into thin air.
Before coming to the gray fog and the venue of the "Tarot Club", she was completely unaware of the strange situation that yesterday was Saturday and today was Monday, as if since she was born, there were only six days in a week in her life.
Even if she got here, the memory in her mind woke up, and she couldn't remember the specific details, which restaurant she went to with Dali, why Beckland's team was late, and what the priest said?
The more Angel thought about it, the more she had a splitting headache, and she looked at Mr. "Fool" at the head of the long table, hesitating whether to turn to this mysterious being for help.
At this time, the fool finished reading the new page of Russell the Great's diary provided by Miss Justice, and his eyes lifted and swept over the crowd.
"I've been waiting."
That's right...... Diary, the two pages of the diary that I accidentally owed last time have been paid off, and there is no new harvest from this trip to the port of Enmat, and it is likely that there are only two existing pages left at hand in the short term, which will be used at the most important time......
After thinking for a moment, she gave up asking the Fool questions and instead asked the other two members for help during everyone's communication time.
"Do you know of any extraordinary abilities that can tamper with or hide other people's memories?"
"Tampering with memories?"
Justice seemed to be frightened by Angel's thoughts, she gasped, and couldn't answer for a while.
The hanged man calmly asked, "Do you need to do this to someone, or did you or your friend be manipulated like this?" ”
Lo and behold, if you ask for help at a tarot meeting, you will encounter such a situation, saying too much will expose you, and saying too little will not allow others to answer your doubts......
Angel pondered with some embarrassment.
She thinks that the hanged man probably already knew his current identity, after all, he made a false testimony under his introduction; And Mr. Fool, who convened the "Tarot Meeting", should know himself very well; Justice knew the least about himself, but at least he knew that he was located near Tingen, and that he was an extraordinary person in the "Assassin" way.
But she still tries to avoid revealing her latest situation or whereabouts during conversations.
"A friend's commission."
She replied vaguely.
"As far as I know, the extraordinary people of the 'audience' approach can do that."
The hanged man did not continue to ask, but began to answer her questions.
Miss Justice, who has become an audience, is also in good spirits and listens carefully.
"But to reach the level of directly modifying memories, the 'audience' path I have contacted cannot be done by extraordinary people, and it may be necessary to go to the level of demigods, that is, sequence 4."
Sequence 4!
Angel felt her heart go cold.
When did you provoke such a powerful extraordinary? If the other party wants to crush himself, an extraordinary person who has just become Sequence 8 should be no different from killing a chicken, why should he tamper with his memory and let himself forget the experience of the day?
Or, is there still a "mistake" in the memory in my mind that has been tampered with and not discovered, and has not been lifted by this mysterious gray fog space?
Of course, she didn't fully believe the words of the Hanged Man, not that the other party would lie, but that the Hangman's thinking or knowledge might be a little insufficient, maybe some kind of mid-sequence ability could achieve a similar effect?
Comforting herself in her heart, she nodded to the hanged man: "Thank you for your answer, I will find another way." ”
After ending this topic, Justice couldn't wait to ask, "Where can I find the Psychological Alchemy Society?" Or the 'mind reader' potion recipe? ”
"The Mind Reader", I remember is the sequence 8 of the audience pathway? Is Miss Justice ready to be promoted so soon?
Angel looked at the hanged man, and she knew that the other person was the most likely to answer the question.
"I don't recommend that you look for them so early, looking for clues to the next sequence of potions, your focus should be on how to digest the existing potions. Besides, as I said last time, I don't know where they are. ”
Justice hung his head in disappointment.
"I just want to prepare in advance...... Now that I don't feel irritable or visually or auditory, does this mean that my digestion of potions and the role of the 'audience' are on the right track? When will I be considered for promotion? ”
"If you don't know how to play it, the general rule of thumb is to wait at least three years in Sequence 9, and when you run out of spiritual and have a splitting headache, if you can still stay awake and don't hear whispers or hallucinations, you can consider getting promoted."
"Now we," said the Hanged Man, glancing sideways at the Fool, "that we have learned the 'trick' and the true meaning of potions, and I don't think it will take long." ”
If you don't know how to play, you need to spend at least three years in Sequence 9......
Angel remembered Neal Sr., who had been in Sequence 9 until he retired, and Cole Granger, who had been promoted to Sequence 7 in less than two years.
Is this the meaning of "acting"?
"Maybe it won't be that long," she added, as she pondered her words, "maybe a year, maybe half a year, as long as you play it strictly, you should be able to get promoted soon." ”
Justice and the Hanged Man looked at the Empress in amazement.
They suddenly remembered that this extraordinary person of the "assassin" path seemed to have an understanding of the "acting method" before attending the tarot meeting.
Could it be that she has been quickly promoted through the acting method, so she has come to this conclusion?
The few men stopped talking, but looked at Mr. Fool at the head of the long table, and saw that he did not add or remind, and then moved on to the next topic.
"Do you know the Aurora Society?"
Angel asked mysteriously.
