Chapter Seventy-Five: Autosuggestion (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

East Chester County, inside the Hall family's estate.

Audrey sat at the dresser and lit a candle.

Then, through the faint light of the fire, she looked at herself in the mirror, her blue eyes gradually deepened, making people unable to take their eyes off, as if even her soul wanted to indulge in it.

"Audrey, stay awake in your dreams tonight. She said to herself in a soft voice.

This is simply "psychological suggestion".

The old ballad she heard at dusk inspired her to explore her dreams to see if she could use them to enter the subconscious sea and spiritual sky of all living beings.

This is an attempt that no other "psychiatrist" has ever thought of, at least there is nothing like it in the reference experience provided by the "Psychological Alchemy Society" - suggesting oneself to oneself, exploring one's own dreams.

Maybe you can find traces of the Psychic Dragon, or even the "City of Miracles" Livihid...... Audrey withdrew her gaze, removed the "lie" that had turned into a ruby necklace, and placed it in the jewelry box.

She was afraid that this magical object that could amplify her emotions would affect herself in her dream and cause unnecessary damage, so she carefully dealt with it in advance.

After doing all this, Audrey subconsciously looked at herself in the glasses and found that there was a small flaw in her appearance.

And when she wore "Lies", she felt that her beauty made her addicted.

"Wake up, Audrey, that's just a lie!" she lifted her right palm and stroked her cheek.

At this time, she was very glad that she had chosen the name "lie" for the magical item, and she would always be vigilant about it, otherwise one day she would be completely dependent on it, unwilling to face her true self, and once she lost it, she would probably lose control directly.

"Those more ordinary-looking girls, who put on 'lies', modified their appearance, and obtained a near-perfect change, may never take it off again, preferring to die rather than keep it...... This corresponding 'extraordinary' can't have a similar mentality......" Audrey sighed and stood up.

Dressed in a slippery silk dressing gown, she walked briskly and expectantly through the warm room, returning to the soft, elastic bed and pulling a cord at the head of the bed.

Anne, the valet of the valet, opened the door and entered, gently extinguishing the lights.

It didn't take long for Audrey to actually fall asleep.

In the misty world, she suddenly felt a thrill and realized that she was dreaming.

She looked around with great interest, and said to herself silently:

"Is this the 'lucid dreaming' of psychology?

"In the occult, there is a similar concept.

"It really works, I relied on simple self-'psychological suggestion' and successfully had 'lucid dreaming', Audrey, you are really a genius~ No, no, no, no, this is mainly the application of extraordinary ability, and you can't be proud. ”

By this time, Audrey had figured out what her current dream was.

She was walking down a gloomy narrow road, surrounded by a dark forest, with a castle with towering spires in front of her.

The whimpering and elongated wolf howls, the slow and terrifying wheezing, and the terrible and intermittent screams came from all directions, brewing a dangerous and oppressive atmosphere.

I was still scared of the assassination of Duke Innigan, and I was afraid that one day, many extraordinary people would attack my father, my mother, and my brother...... Audrey dissects her dreams from the perspective of a "psychiatrist".

She walked slowly, in this unusually real dream, towards the castle that was nearly identical to the ancestral home of the Hall family.

As he walked, a figure suddenly appeared in the Black Forest, it was a giant dragon covered with golden scales, pale golden eyes, and a thick tail.

The dragon's facial features are exactly the same as Audrey's, and with its body, there is an indescribable awkwardness and horror!

Audrey was startled and almost woke up from her dream, but fortunately, she stabilized her emotions in time as an "audience".

This made her realize that she had never really forgotten what she had almost lost control of when she took the "psychiatrist" potion, and that the self-comfort, self-motivation and improved mood at that time were only superficial, and the shadows had been rooted in the depths of the subconscious, and would be reflected in dreams from time to time.

Fortunately, I found out today, and then I can try to treat it subconsciously, but I'm a "psychiatrist"! If I keep ignoring this problem, when I am promoted to Sequence 6, I may lose control of my fear...... Audrey examined herself seriously.

Audrey's dreams are not changing continuously, which is not up to par for a story.

Finally, she reached the castle and saw an arm-long magic wand sweeping through the air, shedding a little light like starlight.

The castle, shrouded in light, suddenly became magnificent, and all gloom and gloom disappeared completely.

The melody of the band was heard, and one gas lamp after another was lit up.

"This was my first best expectation of extraordinary power...... What a little girl's fantasy......" The corners of Audrey's mouth curled, and her mood improved.

She didn't stop, she crossed the castle and walked to the edge of this dream, regardless of how the scene behind her changed and how the story unfolded.

After walking for some time, she walked through the barren wilderness to the top of the cliff.

Looking out, the gray void spreads, and the bottom is so deep that it seems that there is no bottom.

Audrey is aware that this is the boundary of her dreams, and once she leaves, she doesn't know what will happen.

"And how do you leave?" and if you jump, will you fall to your death......" Audrey thought in embarrassment, not too daring to take any risks.

After thinking for dozens of seconds, she slowly came up with an idea:

This is a dream, this place originates from the spiritual world, and as the master, I can carve out a path for myself with my will!

With the idea of trying, she tried to manifest what she wanted to do above the gray mist, the only difference was that the former needed the power of Mr. "Fool", and now she had to rely on herself.

Audrey's right hand stretched out and spread it out, aiming at the gray abyss.

In front of her, the gray suddenly surged, revealing layers of stairs that spread down but there was no end in sight.

Audrey took a slow breath, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly, and took a step onto the first step.

As she descended, the silence around her grew quieter, so quiet that she hallucinated.

It's gray and gray here, and you can't see anything, it's lonely and unknown.

The howling wind blew in a constant direction, causing Audrey's body to shake and her fear to grow slowly.

Before her emotions got out of control, her green eyes flowed out of a deep but warm light, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Audrey calmed herself with the power of "psychoanalysis"!

She continued to descend, and after dozens of seconds, a point of light suddenly lit up in the gray light around her.

Audrey looked over vigilantly, only to see that in that point of light was herself who had just finished taking the potion and almost turned into a dragon monster, on the verge of losing control, worried, panicked, afraid, nervous and other emotions were overflowing.

“...... This is my subconscious, this is my shadow?" Audrey vaguely understood where she had gone after leaving the dream.

She didn't rush to solve this shadow, and continued to go down step by step with anticipation.

According to the theory of the "Psychic Alchemy", the bottom of the subconscious mind is her destination - the collective subconscious sea of all living beings!

In the process of descending, Audrey saw herself who listened to her parents tell legends and stories when she was a child, saw herself who valued her image but was not so elegant behind it, and saw herself who participated in the tarot meeting, but the points of light similar to the latter were all tightly wrapped in gray mist.

It's all something in my subconscious...... Influencing my personality and behavior? Audrey instinctively analyzes with her knowledge of psychology.

In the flickering of different points of light, she was repeatedly on the verge of emotional collapse due to this long exploration of loneliness without a goal, but she used her extraordinary abilities to "comfort" herself in time.

Just as she was losing her sense of the passage of time, she saw the last staircase.

In front of the stairs is a solid, blurred, gray "ground", and above there are waves of light and shadow, they are dense, they overlap, like an illusory sea.

Collective Subconscious Ocean ...... Audrey took a few steps forward, looked up, and unexpectedly found that the "gray" no longer covered her vision, and the sky was clearly visible.

There are countless indescribable figures, seven different colors, containing the clear and pure brilliance of infinite knowledge.

Audrey pursed her lips and said to herself happily:

"Spiritual sky. ”

Then, she walked cautiously forward and set out on her own adventure.

From time to time, the lights and shadows that made up the sea passed before her eyes, some containing ancient memories of being burned by the flames, while others carried the extreme pain of looking directly at the unspeakable......

In addition to the imprints from ancient times and ancestors, Audrey also saw the admiration of her eyes and the folk activities of worshipping dragons.

As she walked, she noticed a gray-white mountain peak in the distance on her left, which stretched upwards and drilled out a sea of light and shadow, and the top was shrouded in mist and clear and clear.

Is that another person's consciousness? In the "ocean" is the subconscious, beyond the surface of the sea is the normal consciousness? Well, he's dreaming...... Audrey suddenly thought of a possible "psychiatrist" application technique, that is, to get closer to the past, climb up, and directly affect the other party's subconscious thoughts, so that he will naturally act according to his own arrangement.

But it should be hard and very dangerous...... Audrey withdrew her gaze and didn't try rashly.

She vividly remembered that she had come to find the Psychic Dragon and the Miracle City of Miracles.

Audrey passed by dozens or hundreds of other people's consciousnesses again, and gradually, she felt tired.

"It's time to go back. Instinctively, she looked up into the distance, and her mind made a decision.

She stood there, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Audrey was about to turn around when a shadow suddenly appeared in the air.

Those were two huge, gray wings!

Beneath the wings, there is a long, lizard-like monster.

It was covered in large scales like gray and white stone, and had four stout, powerful legs, and it seemed to be bathed in non-existent sunlight, shimmering like the afterglow of a setting sun.

The monster flew over, its eyes pale golden, its pupils straight, cold and haughty.

Its grand and epic figure quickly faded away, disappearing into the subconscious ocean of all living things.

Dragon...... Audrey jumped on the spot, and then looked left and right, afraid of being seen as inelegant and unruly.

She paced excitedly, spun around in place, and was very pleased with her adventure.

Sure enough, the dragon worship custom here is not without a source, and there is a spiritual dragon living in their subconscious ocean...... Audrey resisted the urge to praise herself and decided to return immediately and wake up from her dream.

She had no urge to continue exploring, as she was completely unprepared for it, and she planned to consult Mr. "Fool" and "Hanged Man" at the Tarot meeting next week, hoping to get some advice.

Audrey returned the same way, into the "mountain" where her consciousness had formed, and then, she woke herself up and successfully escaped from the dream.

............

At this time, Danitz was also allowed to return to the room.

He glanced at Gelman Sparrow and said with a wry smile:

"You're not going to tell anyone what you just saw, are you?"

PS: It's doubled, ask for a monthly pass!
