Seeing that Audrey was willing to investigate, Derlau nodded slightly.
"I'll give you the detailed information later, but I have to remind you that this matter is quite dangerous. You must not be careless."
At this point, Derlau paused for a moment.
"If you encounter an accident that you can't solve on your own, you can try saying a name. That will save you."
"What's his name?" Audrey asked.
Derlau's expression immediately turned serious.
"It comes from the Holy Bible of the Creator of the Third Epoch. It involves the highest mysteries of the mind and is closely related to something in our Psychological Alchemy.
"It's Adam."
Adam … Audrey didn't feel surprised at all, but she still looked confused on the surface, as if she didn't know what this name represented and what it meant.
Derlau didn't explain.
"As a councilor of the council, you should wield a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact. However, you and Wrath have just entered the ranks, so you still need some time to observe them. Furthermore, the former councilor of the Baekeland region, Hvin Rambis, lost a rather important Sealed Artifact. We are considering if we should change the way Sealed Artifacts are used, changing from wielding to requesting.
"In other words, all the Sealed Artifacts are kept in this mind city. You usually don't possess them. You can only use them temporarily if you encounter an incident and make an application."
Lady Greed, who was in charge of Feysac's capital, St. Millom, immediately shook her head.
"This method has a very serious flaw, and that is, we can't deal with the unexpected. Be it enemies or monsters, once we encounter them, they won't give us the time to request for a Sealed Artifact.
"I think the current method is good enough. Everyone will wield a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact to deal with any accidents. When there's a need, we can request for other items."
Derlau laughed.
"It was indeed better in the past, but now, you don't have to worry.
"As long as you have a chance to resist in the event of an accident, you can directly enter this soul city to hide from the enemy and claim the item.
"If you don't have the chance, say the name 'Adam' like I said just now."
You've said "Adam" twice, so it's very likely that "He" is already watching this place. No, "He" might have been watching this place from the very beginning … Audrey's heart almost beat faster when she heard that.
"Then how do we enter this place without your invitation?" Mr. Envy asked as he nodded.
Derlau pointed at his face.
"Starting from this council meeting, you can bring your own masks out of this city.
"No matter where you are, as long as there are at least two humans around you, hmm, other than yourselves, you can enter this city by wearing the corresponding mask.
"And these seven masks themselves are illusions. They are closely connected to some of your knowledge, so there's no need to preserve them in a special way. If you want to, you can take it out from the sea of collective subconscious at any time. "
At this moment, the man, who wore the Gluttony mask and gave off an indulgent air, thought for a moment.
"Will bringing the mask out of this city negatively affect our mental state and real personality?"
"There will be a little that needs to be taken note of, but I believe that all of you are experts in the field of the mind. You have the ability to resolve this problem," Derlau said frankly.
Audrey was a little worried that the seven masks were related to Adam, but she didn't dare to think so in this mind city. She forced herself to restrain her thoughts and replied to Derlau's previous words.
"I can accept the two storage methods for a Grade 1 Sealed Artifact. I will patiently wait for the end of the observation period."
"Miss, you aren't arrogant at all," Miss Sloth, who looked like she was sleeping, commented with a smile.
After discussing the mind dragon in East Chester County, the other five councilors introduced the matters that were worth paying attention to in their respective areas and exchanged information.
During this process, Mr. Gluttony, who seemed to be able to eat a cow at any moment and wear ten rings, said, "The Constant area hasn't been peaceful recently.
"The Constant area hasn't been peaceful enough recently. Many near-miraculous things have happened in a row.
"First, Constant City has been rebuilt overnight. Second, the citizens of Belltaine City have lost a period of memories at the same time. Third, there's a powerful magician who takes pleasure in fulfilling the wishes of others wandering the east coast of the Midseashire. His name is Merlin Hermes. Related to this, there's also an item called the Fully Automatic Wishing Machine.
"Apart from these, I also noticed something abnormal. Many rats, cockroaches, and crows in Constant City have lost their minds within a few days of the city's miraculous recovery."
"Why are you able to sense this problem?" Mr. Lust said to Gluttony as though he was looking up.
Gluttony gulped and said, "I've been studying the mental problems of ordinary creatures recently.
"Recently, I've been studying the mind of ordinary creatures. Rats, cockroaches, and crows are all my experimental subjects."
The councilors immediately began discussing this research direction, and the meeting officially entered the third stage.
Audrey gained a lot from their academic exchange. She listened rather seriously and would share some of her insights from time to time.
After a while, Derlau clapped his hands and said, "Alright, this council meeting shall end here."
Audrey subconsciously wanted to stand up and lead the rest of the committee members to bow and leave, but she quickly came to her senses and continued to sit there. She was the second last person to stand up.
Before leaving, she asked curiously,
"Mr. President, does this city have a name?"
"Yes," Derlau said with a smile. "Garden of Eden."
Garden of Eden … Seeing that the rest of the council members were walking towards the door, Audrey asked thoughtfully,
"There are a lot of churches here, which should symbolize faith itself. Uh, I wonder which existence the 'residents' here believe in?"
Derlau nodded and replied with a solemn expression,
"Omniscient and omnipotent Creator."
…
"Garden of Eden" … Omniscient and omnipotent Creator … This wasn't Adam's doing. I'll write the name backwards! Above the gray fog, inside the ancient palace, Klein looked at the crimson star that represented Miss Justice and silently muttered to himself.
Furthermore, the countermeasure of chanting the name "Adam" when in danger was a blatant indication of the problem.
Ever since Miss Justice entered the Garden of Eden, the "true vision" provided by Sefirah Castle had been suppressed. Klein could only use "Her" point of view to observe his surroundings, just like how he had used Queen Mystic Bernadette as a fixed lens on the primitive island. To a certain extent, this also explained the status of the mind city, the Garden of Eden.
Klein then tapped the edge of the long mottled table and conjured a pen and paper, preparing to write down his thoughts.
It wasn't that he couldn't analyze it with pure thought alone, but that when facing an existence like Adam, he had to repeatedly scrutinize and scrutinize every detail. Therefore, the words that landed on the paper helped him repeatedly review and fill in the gaps.
"The basic premise is: Adam has already used the all-out war to advance to Sequence 0 and become a true god. He can be called a Visionary.
"Miss Justice happened to become a Sequence 4 Manipulator after Hvin Rambis's death. She can convince others, but she can't convince Adam.
"What does Adam want to do? Arranging for a Sequence 4 saint doesn't match "His" identity as a Visionary, unless "He" has other motives …
"Is" His "true target that mind dragon, or me, who's behind Miss Justice?
"I have to be vigilant in this regard. I can't be careless.
"In the Garden of Eden, the cathedral where the Psychological Alchemy Council is located is a little similar to Adam's corpse cathedral, but it's only a little similar. The stone pillars outside have a number of skulls embedded in them, but there's no corresponding arrangement inside. Furthermore, the color is dark and very dark. What does this mean?
"What does the grayish-white dragon coiling around the huge cross symbolize? The first step in the effort to revive the Creator has been successfully taken?
"Uh, Adam is already a Visionary. If" His "father or the original Creator were to return," He "would definitely be the first to suffer. "He" is willing to sacrifice "Himself" for this? Is this the meaning of paranoia?
"That rabbit is suspected to be Hermes … However, as an angel of the Spectator pathway, it doesn't make sense that" He "isn't able to remove Miss Messenger's transformation curse after so long, especially when there's a Visionary above" Him "that can provide" Him "with help … Hmm, Hermes did it on purpose?
"Right, the president of the Psychological Alchemy Association, Derlau, said that to a Spectator, death only represents the end of one's identity." He "can still participate in other dramas with other identities elsewhere …
"All in all, can it be said that when the Spectator pathway reaches Sequence 3 or Sequence 2," He "can separate out some of the identities" He "once had, turning them into a" living person. "And even if these identities die, it won't cause" His "true body to perish?
"This does look like a prerequisite for Visionary …"
"Yes, Hermes separated the rabbit" He "turned into after" He "was cursed as an identity and directly participated in the Psychological Alchemy? What does "He" want to do? Back then, during the Twilight Hermit Order's internal exchange, "He" was sitting beside the Emperor … "
After writing, Klein put down his fountain pen and seriously read the contents of the piece of paper a few times, his heart filled with questions.
In the end, he could only decide to observe a little longer, observing with his guard up.
And at this moment, Audrey had already taken the carriage she had come from. She had driven out of the Garden of Eden and returned to the park with the artificial lake in Empress Borough.
She wasn't in a hurry to pray to Mr. Fool, hoping that there was a better way to seal the Pride mask. She returned to her luxurious villa as though nothing had happened.
