How did this happen … Even if Xio and Fors didn't have any delays along the way and maintained a relatively fast speed, it would take at least fifteen minutes to reach the nearest Evernight cathedral … Fortunately, I was rather cautious. I prayed to Mr. Fool ahead of time to bestow me with an angel's blessing. I really hypnotized Xio and Fors just now … The thoughts in Audrey's mind churned, but she quickly suppressed them.
Her eyes were first lost before they revealed a look of enlightenment. It was as though she had finally woken up from a long dream and recalled the things she had forgotten and neglected.
"Mr. Rambis, why are you here …" Audrey made her voice sound ethereal, as though she was still immersed in a dream.
As she spoke, she used a Psychiatrist's control over her emotions to make the inevitable anxiety flash through her mind like a normal thought. It didn't cause any abnormalities.
This unexpected change left her at a loss as to how to proceed.
Without a doubt, she knew that she had to first deal with Hvin Rambis's subsequent questions to prevent the demigod from having any suspicions. But if that was all, he might leave in a few minutes. As for Xio and Fors, they definitely hadn't entered the Evernight cathedral and hadn't completed the misleading step. When the time came, forcefully igniting the hat accessory and summoning World would easily cause a flaw in the completion of the matter, preventing her from truly resolving the latent problem.
No, I'd rather miss it than push forward with the plan when I'm not fully prepared … Patience, forbearance, and caution are the keywords of the mysterious World … At the very least, Hvin Rambis will only be using me for a long period of time and won't directly harm me. Even if he wishes for me to marry the prince, the entire process will take more than half a year. I still have enough time to wait for a second, third, or even a fourth or fifth opportunity … The only problem is that I need to inform Xio and Fors and get them to hide as soon as possible … When Audrey's eyes returned to normal, revealing a slight sense of wariness and fear, she quickly made up her mind.
After observing her reaction and hearing her question, Hvin Rambis smiled and said, "This should be the first time you've truly hypnotized someone.
I was worried that an accident would happen, so I specially came here to wait. Heh heh, with your background, it's true that you rarely have the chance to use such abilities … "
His voice was gentle and filled with concern. Unknowingly, the vigilance and fear in Audrey's eyes melted little by little.
And in Audrey's Spiritual World, she once again had her consciousness split. Part of her was elevated, and she felt like she was looking down at the "island" and "sea."
This made her realize that the favorable impression and sense of security she had just felt was the result of being guided.
Seeing that Audrey had returned to normal, Hvin Rambis nodded slightly.
"How did they answer your question?"
Audrey said frankly,
"Xio said that investigating Viscount Stratford and pursuing the king's secret stemmed from her own will. She was filled with suspicions about the cause of her father's death. Her father was the former chief of the royal guards, Earl Mason Dill …
"However, she mentioned that her actions were blessed by a certain existence."
As she spoke, Audrey nearly paused. This was because, under the spirituality sky, she, who was looking down at the island of consciousness and the spiritual sea, saw a figure rapidly rising from the bottom of the sea. It followed the conjured staircase, penetrated the subconscious's domain, and ascended to the island of her Body of Heart and Mind.
The figure wore a black three-piece suit and had a head of silver hair. It was another Hvin Rambis.
Hvin Rambis didn't have a smile on his face, and he had an extremely sinister aura. A portion of his skin was covered in grayish-white scales, and not only did his eyes turn from light blue to golden, they were even vertical, as though he was an animal.
If she hadn't had such an experience in the past, Audrey might not have been able to pretend that she hadn't noticed anything at such an abnormally tense moment. She wouldn't have been able to stop herself from stuttering.
In the real World, Hvin Rambis smiled at Audrey's pure and beautiful face.
He asked further, "Which existence blessed you?"
Audrey shook her head as the island of consciousness changed accordingly.
"At the mention of this matter, Xio and Fors were very resistant. There were signs of them escaping the hypnosis, so I didn't dare press further."
Of course, the blessings of a certain existence can be explained as Mr. Fool's attention, or it can also be understood as the Goddess's gaze … Under the spirituality sky, Audrey, who maintained her lucidity, mumbled silently.
Hvin Rambis continued asking about the details of the hypnosis.
Two to three minutes later, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad. You do have the talent for hypnosis. When the recent matters are over, I'll give you the Dreamwalker potion and personally preside over the ritual for you.
"Yes, don't be too averse to love and marriage. You're not even twenty yet. It's the time to pursue and enjoy such matters. Your charm is enough to make everyone like you. You can enjoy their gazes and fawning over you …"
Hvin Rambis used indirect hints and guidance to make Audrey lower her resistance towards love and marriage.
This despicable fellow … Under the spirituality sky, Audrey puffed up her cheeks and muttered angrily. She then controlled her consciousness on the island of consciousness to reveal some shyness and yearning.
Hvin Rambis followed the principle of gradual improvement, and he didn't expect to succeed on his first try. Upon seeing this, he retracted his consciousness that had invaded her Body of Heart and Mind, allowing his illusory self to leave the island.
He then said, "Forget what I just said.
"Forget what I just said. They are spontaneous thoughts in your heart.
"When I leave this place and my back disappears from your sight, you will forget that I was here."
Upon hearing this, Audrey couldn't help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. This meant that Hvin Rambis was about to leave.
Although it had only been about five minutes since Hvin Rambis appeared, which wasn't enough for Xio and Fors to enter the nearest Evernight cathedral, Audrey still hoped that Hvin Rambis would leave as soon as possible. The pressure of being in the company of a demigod in the Spectator domain was unimaginable.
There's still a chance in the future. As long as I retain my consciousness, there's still a chance. Audrey, don't be depressed, don't be anxious … Audrey, the noble lady, silently consoled herself as she watched Hvin Rambis turn around and walk to the hall.
She didn't relax, didn't exhale, and tried hard to maintain her normal state.
Suddenly, Hvin Rambis stopped in his tracks and turned around. His light blue eyes narrowed as he looked at Audrey.
"Why were you so afraid when you first saw me?"
… I, I was so surprised that I couldn't hide my emotions well? Audrey felt her scalp tingle under her long blonde hair. Her mind was spinning quickly, and she asked with a puzzled expression,
"Is that so?
"Isn't that normal? It's inevitable to have a temporary shock when someone suddenly appears beside you."
Hvin Rambis nodded, seemingly agreeing with this explanation. He sized up Audrey and suddenly said, "You always carry a mystical item that can change shape with you.
"You always carry a mystical item that can change shape with you. Why aren't you wearing it today?"
To a Spectator, this was an abnormal detail.
Oh no … I clearly hid Lie under my clothes most of the time. How did he discover that I didn't wear it this time … He had secretly read some of my memories, memories that I didn't protect in order to appear normal … Faced with Hvin Rambis's question, Audrey felt like her thoughts were about to freeze.
The reason why she didn't wear Lie was simple: She was afraid that this accessory would magnify her emotions, making it impossible for her to completely hide her true thoughts when facing a demigod of the Spectator pathway.
And this meant that she had foreseen that she would encounter Hvin Rambis today. This was something that shouldn't have happened under normal circumstances!
In an instant, Audrey grasped onto an idea and smiled blankly.
"It will magnify my emotions and lower the success rate of hypnosis. To prevent any accidents from happening, I removed it ahead of time."
Hvin Rambis nodded slightly.
"So that's how it is …"
Just as Audrey was feeling a little relieved, this demigod of the Spectator pathway suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"If it's just this matter, there's indeed no need to suspect it. However, when you first saw me, the fear that exceeded your limits, it doesn't seem that simple …"
As he spoke, Hvin Rambis's light blue eyes turned vertical as they were quickly dyed with a golden luster.
The two golden vertical pupils clearly reflected the image of Audrey, who was wearing a knight's attire.
With a hum, Audrey's thoughts turned extremely blurry. Only the "her" under the spirituality sky barely managed to maintain some lucidity.
On the surface of the sea of consciousness around the island, waves surged and blanketed it.
At the same time, the sinister and illusory Hvin Rambis returned and returned to the island. He stopped beneath the seawater, allowing grayish-white dragon scales to fly into the foundation of the island, which was also the massive subconscious domain of humans.
Audrey immediately felt her thoughts distort. She wanted to confess everything and confess all her secrets.
Relying on the lucidity of the "her" under the spirituality sky, she barely controlled herself and didn't reveal any secrets. She also knew that there would definitely be problems if this continued. She hurriedly gathered a small amount of her thoughts and relied on the angel's blessing and her split consciousness to prevent Hvin Rambis from noticing it.
This small amount of thoughts included reaching her hand into her left pocket.
At this moment, Hvin Rambis, who had invaded the mind World, had an increasingly sinister expression. He snorted coldly.
"There's indeed a problem!"
If there wasn't a problem, Audrey would've revealed all her secrets and private matters one by one, starting from the most important ones, instead of remaining silent!
Similarly, due to the rapid manipulation, Audrey didn't have the time to sort out all her secrets. Even if she wanted to hide something, she would be discovered the moment she opened her mouth.
After confirming the abnormality, Hvin Rambis no longer hesitated. His eyes turned extremely cold as grayish-white scales covered the surface of his skin.
The storm in the sea of consciousness suddenly turned intense, and Audrey, who was under the spirituality sky, immediately began to falter.
The final defense of her consciousness domain was rapidly weakened by the waves of attacks and was about to shatter.
"Humph!" Hvin Rambis increased the strength of the Mind Storm once again, and he was satisfied as he felt Audrey's entire island of consciousness tremble.
This meant that he was about to completely control her!
At this moment, he heard an ancient, awkward-sounding word:
"Fate!"
In the real World, Hvin Rambis looked up in surprise and saw Audrey's green eyes being dyed with the brightest and most charming golden color.
