Chapter 113: Audrey's Response
Queens, the Hall family's luxury villa, features floor-to-ceiling glass windows in a sitting room.
Audrey sat at the coffee table, her eyes fixed on the woman opposite, who looked to be in her 20s, but was dressed in a pompous and seductive manner, who lit a candle with an eerie pale blue flame, which was only a small handful, but covered the entire reception room with the same color.
"Hello Miss Hall, introduce yourself, I'm Dalie Simone, a police advisor, a 'psychic' with a little experience."
Her lip gloss was close to the color of the candle, and she wore thick eye makeup of the same color, and her voice introduced herself in a low and slow voice, which made Audrey reveal a trace of dazed and curious.
"Psychic? Is it the kind that can communicate with spirits in legends? ”
She duly expressed some knowledge of the occult, as the other party must have investigated herself before the conversation.
"No, this is just an external statement, in fact, I am a guy who is proficient in observing words and colors, and capturing the weaknesses of others, for example, I know that your current expression is just a disguise, you have actually seen the real 'extraordinary', right?"
Dai Li took out a small bottle and dripped the liquid inside on the blue candle flame, making a "squeak" liquid evaporation sound, and a calming fragrance penetrated Audrey's nose, making her show a real "panic" slightly subdued.
"You...... How do you know......" Audrey, who was pierced through her disguise, was a little stunned, and her tone was uncertain, "I have indeed met several extraordinary beings, they are 'soothsayers', they are 'medicine masters', and I am quite eager for this, but please don't tell my father, he has always wanted me to stay away from these." ”
"Rest assured, this is just an intimate conversation, and I'm not interested in the diverse hobbies of the nobles."
The warm tone of the other party seemed to come from all directions, making Audrey's vision a little hazy, and the colors were more intense and abstract, and then, her limbs became weak, and the head above her neck was also as heavy as a thousand pounds, as if she was dozing off during a private lesson, as if she was going to fall asleep in the next second.
But my sanity is still sober, thanks to the reminder of Miss "Queen", thanks to the angel of Mr. Fool!
Encountering such a strange scene, Audrey was even more excited.
After Miss Erin told her that she was safe through Mr. Fool last night, she was warned that she might be censored by official extraordinaries such as the Night Watchman, and Mr. Fool made a small preparation for this, teaching Audrey a simple ritual to enter a strange state known as "artificial sleepwalking" in the occult. While sleepwalking, one of His holy and majestic angels descended upon Audrey and protected her with as many as twelve pairs of wings.
In the mythological texts, those who have so many wings are called "archangels", the archangels of our tarot society!
Audrey, who couldn't hide her excitement, pursed her lips and quickly adjusted her facial expression, making a nightmare appearance.
It is believed that after the performance of "being exposed to the secret" just now, the female night watchman has relaxed her vigilance against herself, as long as she deals with this channeling, with the status of the Hall family, there will be no second similar review.
"Why did you go to Hilston yesterday evening, and who are you going there with?"
The figure of Dai Li on the opposite side was blurred, and only eyes that were very similar to Audrey's color appeared in the mist, looking this way.
"I ...... I was at the invitation of Ms. Eastrant to attend a seminar in psychology," Audrey said hesitantly, as if recalling carefully, "and with me was the maid Anne, the two father's guards, and my friend, Miss Erin Watson. ”
Looking at Dali's inquiring green eyes, Audrey's thoughts surged, and she added after a moment.
"She, she's a real extraordinary, a 'soothsayer.'"
……
After putting away the candles and hydrosol, Dai Li looked at the girl in front of her with blank eyes turned to clarity, shook her head, and her long golden hair shook like waves.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Hall, you seem to be a little sleepy, let's stop here today."
As if it had just been a simple conversation, Daly smiled and ended the inquiry.
"Okay, okay." Audrey rubbed her eyes and said apologetically, "Maybe I didn't sleep well yesterday, you know, what happened last night was horrible...... By the way, my friend and I got separated last night and haven't seen her since, Erin Watson, do you have any news of her? ”
"Miss Watson wasn't found at the scene, maybe she's gone on her own, maybe you'll meet her again today." Daly got up from the couch and continued, "If Miss Watson contacts you, can you invite her to come to your house in the near future?" ”
"There's a tea party this Wednesday afternoon, and I'll invite my friends over, but do you have anything to do with her?"
Audrey looked at Dai Li with a suspicious look on her face, who shook her head lightly and said:
"No, just to confirm her whereabouts and safety, we won't ask her in person."
— but in the dark, in the dream, and not by me, maybe Sost, maybe Leonard who had just arrived in Beckland, or some other "nightmare......
Dali added in her mind.
After saying goodbye to the aristocratic lady, who was still a little confused, Daly walked out of the reception room and joined Leonard, who was waiting at the door, who was chatting with a handsome man with short blond hair.
"Ms. Dai Li, is there anything wrong with that young lady?"
"She's just a little frightened, a little sleepy, nothing else."
Instead of looking at Leonard, Daly said to the man behind him.
"Thank you, and thank you to the church for your help, my father, and I want this to be the end of this, and not to disturb Audrey's life anymore, she shouldn't be exposed to those things."
Hibbert Hall first expressed his gratitude, then changed his tone to express the wishes of the Hall family in a serious manner, and it was clear that he was not ignorant of extraordinary powers.
"Mr. Hall, you don't have to worry, the murderer who made a big fuss in Hilston yesterday is dead, and we're just doing it routinely."
Before coming here, the head of the Diocese of Beckland, one of the thirteen archbishops of the church, Anthony Stevenson, warned the two of them in person that they could not use any drastic means to inquire, even if there was a small problem, as long as it was not involved in this case or harmful to the church, they could "let it go".
"That's fine," Hibbert's tone became flat, and he nodded to the attendant beside him, "Send the two officers away." ”
"This weekend, I'll go to St. Samuel's Church to speak on behalf of my father about the establishment of a foundation to help the poor in the East End."
He added.
……
Audrey behind the door sighed inwardly as she listened to the seemingly calm but actually tense conversation outside.
Hibbert's sternly worded admonition was deliberately raised so that she could hear it through the door, whether it was an indirect reminder from her father or the careful thinking of her eldest brother.
But in any case, after this incident, he will inevitably be more protected by his father and brother, and there should be no chance to contact the "Psychological Alchemy Society" in the short term.
Moreover, she was a little curious about the sudden attack of Isrant, a tempter who was obviously a psycho alchemist, and she was still confused about what happened yesterday, and perhaps she could only get the answer at the tarot meeting in the afternoon.
Miss "Queen" will definitely answer all my doubts......
Thinking of the other party's decisive action last night, and the tall figure holding a gun between her and Isrant, she looked at Susie who tilted her head on the side, and looked forward to today's tarot.
"Huh?"
The big golden retriever crossed his forelimbs on his chest and made a puzzled sound.
————
At three o'clock on Monday afternoon, in the magnificent palace filled with gray mist, crimson light flashed, and members of the Tarot Society from all over the world appeared at the bronze table.
