MTL - Lord of the Mysteries-v6 Chapter 51 "Pride" (Monthly monthly ticket recommendation ticket)
"What's this place?" Audrey asked without changing her look, as if asking about the location of the party tonight.
The self-proclaimed President of the Psychological Alchemy Society, Pauli Dellaw, also looked out the window and said with a smile:
"This is the city in everyone's mind.
"It's there somewhere."
Audrey nodded thoughtfully:
"That is to say, you can enter here from any corner of human society?"
Del Laumore said in a wheelchair:
"Correct."
He didn't explain much, instead pointing to the sidewalks outside the carriage window:
"Everything here has a corresponding psychological symbol. They are called 'beast desire'."
Beastly desire ... Audrey repeated the word silently, keeping her dignified sitting position and looking farther.
In the "pedestrians", in addition to werewolves, there are bears walking upright, cats with lazy expressions, weirdoes with a spotted spider on their faces, giant mice with red eyes, and boa constrictors. , A canine creature with a desire to mate looking at every passing person around ...
They wear bowler hats and trench coats, or sophisticated long dresses, and try to imitate humans in every detail, but they cannot make them truly human.
The carriage drove in the dim night, passing between this "pedestrian" and various Gothic buildings, and soon reached the most central church in the city.
This church is more than 80 meters high and is supported by black pillars. Each pillar is inlaid with a certain number of skulls. Some of them are from humans and originate from different creatures, but they will be hollow. Eyes were directed downward, as if watching every creature entering the church.
Like most of the buildings here, every detail of this church is exquisite, but they are composed of elements that favor nightmares, thrillers, horrors and mysteries.
Stepping out of the carriage, through the main entrance, Audrey saw a large but empty hall.
Deep in the hall, stands a huge cross with a gray and white dragon statue entwined on it.
Unlike ordinary churches, there are no rows of seats for believers to pray, and no place for candlesticks. Only a small long table is placed in front of the dragon statue, with five seats on each side of the long table. The chair, the top and bottom are all empty.
Polly Dellaw controlled the wheelchair, reached the top of the long table, and pointed to his left side:
"Please sit down."
Audrey followed him uncomfortably, glanced left and right, opened a chair casually, and sat down.
She is not too close or far from the chairperson of the Psychological Alchemy Society, and she just shows her alertness and does not appear guilty.
Polly Dellaw raised his hands and held the pestle to the surface of the long table:
"Miss Audrey, I want to ask you something."
"Please." Audrey's head turned slightly, responding to the other's gaze with green eyes.
Dellaw nodded slightly:
"I want to know how you got promoted to Sequence 4 'Manipulator'. Where did you get your potion recipe and extraordinary properties?"
Audrey answered calmly:
"From a deal.
"A client wanted the help of Demigod from the 'Audience' and prepaid the potion formula and extraordinary features of the 'Operator'."
Del Law suddenly laughed:
"There is such a thing? The conditions are generous as if a father was looking for an excuse to give his daughter a gift.
"Can you tell me, what kind of help did you provide?"
"Siege another demigod. In this matter, spiritual control is quite critical." Audrey explained briefly.
Her attitude was calm, as if talking about the homework assigned by the tutor.
Dellau moved his long and fluffy eyebrows:
"Success?"
"The result is obvious." Audrey gave the answer relatively euphemistically.
Dellaw looked her up and down, and it seemed that he realized that the aristocratic **** the left was a "operator" who could kill other demigods.
Audrey read out his thoughts and added:
"I'm just one of the participants."
Dellaw nodded:
"Do you know where the client's 'manipulator' potion formula and extraordinary properties came from?"
"He didn't directly explain the problem." Audrey responded with a long-conceived sentence.
"He? Can you tell me who he is?" Dellaw asked, considering it.
Audrey has been preparing for the “virtual personality” of the opponent to sneak into her spiritual island, but from the beginning to the present, she has not noticed any abnormalities.
This made her wonder if the other party did not need to infiltrate, but just by observing the movement of the collective subconscious sea around her, she could gain insight into her truest thoughts.
She did not cover up and calmly replied:
"This involves my agreement with him. I think that keeping promises should be a ethical standard that the whole world agrees on, and in occult science, this involves a lot."
Having said that, Audrey took the initiative to say:
"If you cannot really believe me because of the concealment of this issue, I am willing to accept it.
"I can just be an ordinary member and exchange my contributions for the psychological research materials I can exchange."
Dellau smiled:
"Everyone has their own secrets, which is normal. What I need to evaluate is whether your secrets will affect the safe operation of the entire psychological alchemy."
He looked at Audrey deeply and said:
"Then you can tell me, how do you know such a client?"
"I remember I reported to you that before joining the Psychological Alchemy, I had contacted some people in the occult circle and met a few extraordinary people." Audrey said that she could not really speak anymore .
As for the actual logical order of the answers just now, it is another matter.
Moreover, Herwin Rambis' "disappearance" originated from investigating the fact that Fulth and Hugh were absolutely unrecognized by both parties but were absolutely recognized.
Dellau took his pestle's hands on the table and placed them between his chest and abdomen:
"One more question, when was the last time you saw Herwin Rambis?"
Audrey frowned slightly:
"I remember you asking."
After the death of Herwin Rambis, she did not immediately lose contact with the Psychological Alchemy, and still maintained a certain connection with the upper levels through Hilbert, Stephen, and Islant. She discovered that members of her psychological research group could not be contacted for various reasons.
"I need to reconfirm in person," Dellau said calmly.
Audrey nodded softly:
"The last time I saw Commissioner Herwin Rambis in the residence of Viscount Glelint, at that time, I hypnotized two extraordinary friends I knew and asked them why they should investigate Viscount Ford, who is the messenger behind the scenes.
"At that time, Commissioner Herwin Rambis was nearby to make sure that there was no accident with hypnosis. When he got the answer, he quickly left.
"I haven't seen him again since that day."
In the process of answering, Audrey was still preparing for the invasion of her own spiritual island, but there was calm and nothing happened.
Not only did this not make Audrey feel relaxed, but she became more vigilant, and did not even dare to think about anything related to Mr. "Fool" and "World" German Sparo.
She was only convinced that as long as she was in danger of being exposed, Mr. Fool would certainly provide protection.
"Consistent with the previous answer." Del Law nodded slowly.
He immediately looked at Audrey's green eyes and said frankly:
"I can't trace the source of that extraordinary feature in your body with mysticism, which shows that there is an unimaginable existence behind that provider."
Audrey nodded slightly, saying she thought so too.
"I can't force you not to cooperate and trade with other extraordinary people. This is unrealistic. I just want you to promise that you won't disclose anything about the psychological alchemy to anyone. At least, you want to delegate certain tasks. When you go out, you have to pack it and cover up the secrets, "Dellaw said, looking back peacefully.
Audrey responded without hesitation:
"I promise not to tell people who don't have the corresponding authority about things related to the psychological alchemy."
She took the initiative to enlarge the concept of humans into beings to fill the loopholes in promises.
And as soon as her words fell, she felt that one idea after another emerged from the island of her soul.
These thoughts are intertwined into an illusory web, infiltrating the inner island of Audrey's mind, and becoming her subconscious.
Because this "restricted web" comes from Audrey's own spirituality, even if she becomes an angel, she will not be able to clear it. She will lose the mental alchemy when faced with non-psychological alchemy members or members with insufficient authority Will related matters.
And she couldn't recognize it herself.
He didn't invade my soul island. By my own words, the promise became a substance ... Audrey's heart was startled, but the surface was not so obvious.
Of course, she was not completely restrained, because she was surprised that this method was an instinctive reaction of a "manipulator".
Based on this, she suspects that either the city in the soul is defective, or that the psychological alchemy president of Dellaw is more than a saint.
Seeing Audrey's promise, Del Law pointed to the long table with satisfaction:
"From now on, you are a member of the Psychological Alchemy Jury.
"You can choose a personality mask as your code name."
As he spoke, seven off-white, rather illusory, unusually cold masks appeared on the long table. Five of them were placed in corresponding positions, and they seemed to have masters.
"There are two personality masks left, one is 'Furious' and the other is 'Pride'," Dellau introduced. "They are derived from the Holy Book of the Creator of the Third Age."
Audrey thought for a second, and stretched her hand towards the angry mask:
"I choose arrogance."
Dellaw glanced at her and said with a low smile:
"This was also the choice of Herwin Rambis."
