East Chester County, in the Hall family's manor.
Audrey sat in front of the dressing table and lit a candle.
Then, through the flickering flame, she looked at herself in the mirror. Her green eyes gradually turned deep, making it impossible to look away. It was as if even one's soul wanted to sink into it.
"Audrey, stay awake in your dream tonight," she said to herself in a gentle voice.
This was a simple "psychological cue."
The ancient ballad she had heard at dusk had given her inspiration, giving her the idea of exploring her own dream. She wanted to see if she could use it to enter the sea of subconscious and spirituality of all living beings.
This was an attempt that other Psychiatrists had never thought of. At the very least, there was nothing similar in the reference experience provided by Psychological Alchemy. She was hinting to herself and exploring her own dream.
Perhaps I can find traces of the mind dragon or even the City of Miracles, Liveseyd … Audrey retracted her gaze, took off Lie, which had transformed into a ruby necklace, and placed it into a jewelry box.
She was afraid that this mystical item that could amplify emotions would affect her in her dream and cause unnecessary damage. Therefore, she had carefully dealt with it ahead of time.
After doing all of this, Audrey subconsciously looked at her reflection in the glasses and realized that there was a tiny flaw in her face.
And when she was wearing Lie, she felt that her beauty was something that even she was infatuated with.
"Wake up, Audrey. That's just Lie!" She raised her right palm and caressed her cheek.
At this moment, she was extremely glad that she had given the mystical item the name Lie. It would constantly alert her; otherwise, there would come a day when she would be completely reliant on it and refuse to face her true self. Once she lost it, it was very likely that she would lose control.
Those girls who look more ordinary might not be willing to take it off after wearing Lie and modifying their looks, obtaining a nearly perfect transformation. They would rather die than take it off … The corresponding Beyonders similarly can't have such a mentality … Audrey sighed and stood up.
She wore a slippery silk nightgown and walked briskly and expectantly through the warm room. She returned to the soft, comfortable, and elastic bed and pulled a rope at the head of the bed.
His personal maid, Annie, opened the door and gently extinguished the light.
It didn't take long before Audrey really fell asleep.
In the misty world, she suddenly shivered and realized that she was dreaming.
She looked around with great interest and muttered to herself silently, "That's right.
"Is this what psychology calls' lucid dreaming '?
"In mysticism, there is a similar concept.
"It's really effective. I relied on a simple self-hypnosis to successfully have a lucid dream. Audrey, you're such a genius ~ No, no, no, this is mainly the application of Extraordinary abilities. You can't be arrogant."
At this time, Audrey had already figured out what the current dream was.
She was walking on a gloomy, narrow road, surrounded by a dark forest, and in front of her was a castle with a high spire.
The long, drawn out howls of wolves, the slow and horrifying panting, and the shrill and intermittent screams came from all directions, creating a dangerous and oppressive atmosphere.
I'm still feeling afraid because of the assassination of the Duke Of Negan. I'm afraid that one day, many Beyonders will suddenly attack Father, Mother, and Brother … Audrey analyzed her dream from the perspective of a Psychiatrist.
She slowly walked forward, walking towards the castle that was almost identical to the Hall family's ancestral mansion in this abnormally realistic dream.
As they walked, a figure suddenly leaped out of the Black Forest. It was a giant dragon with golden scales all over its body, and its eyes were pale gold. Its tail was thick and strong.
The dragon's facial features were identical to Audrey's. Coupled with its body, it gave off an indescribable sense of awkwardness and horror!
Audrey jumped in fright and nearly woke up from her dream. Thankfully, having been a Spectator before, she managed to stabilize her emotions in time.
This made her realize that she had never really forgotten how she nearly lost control when she consumed the Psychiatrist potion. Back then, her self-consolation, self-motivation, and improvement in her mood were only on the surface. The trauma had already taken root in the depths of her subconscious, and from time to time, it would be reflected in her dreams.
Fortunately, I discovered it today. In the future, I can attempt to treat it in my subconscious. I'm a Psychiatrist! If I keep ignoring this problem, I might lose control due to fear when I advance to Sequence 6 … Audrey seriously examined herself.
As she walked and stopped, Audrey's dream changed in an irregular manner. As a story, this wasn't up to standard.
Finally, she walked in front of the castle and saw a wand the length of an arm sweep across the air, scattering down resplendent star-like light.
The castle that was enveloped in light instantly became magnificent, and all the gloominess and gloom completely disappeared.
A band's melody could be heard from inside, and one gas wall lamp after another lit up.
This is my earliest and most beautiful expectation of Beyonder powers … What a little girl's fantasy … The corners of Audrey's mouth curled up as her mood improved.
She didn't stop. She walked past the castle and walked towards the edge of the dream, ignoring how the scene behind her changed or how the story unfolded.
After walking for an unknown period of time, she passed through the desolate wilderness and arrived at the top of a cliff.
Looking out, the gray void spread out, and it was so deep that it seemed bottomless.
Audrey clearly understood that this was the boundary of her dream. Once she left, she didn't know what would happen.
And how should I leave? Jump down? Will I fall to my death … Audrey thought in a dilemma, not daring to take the risk.
After thinking for nearly a minute, she slowly came up with an idea.
This is a dream, a place that originates from the World of the Mind. As its master, I can use my will to open up a path for myself!
With the thought of giving it a try, she attempted to conjure what she wanted, just like when she was above the gray fog. The only difference was that the former required the help of Mr. Fool's power, but now, she had to rely on herself.
Audrey stretched out her right hand and spread it out, aiming at the gray abyss.
In front of her, the gray fog suddenly surged, revealing a staircase that extended downwards with no end in sight.
Audrey slowly took a deep breath, lifted her skirt slightly, and took a step onto the first step.
As she walked down, her surroundings became quieter and quieter, so quiet that it made her hallucinate.
Apart from the gray fog, there was nothing else. It was lonely and unknown.
The howling winds kept blowing in different directions, causing Audrey's body to sway as her fear slowly deepened.
Before she lost control of her emotions, her green eyes flowed with a deep but warm light, as though she could see through a person's heart.
Audrey used her Psychoanalysis powers to calm herself!
She continued probing downwards, and a few seconds later, a point of light suddenly lit up in the surrounding gray fog.
Audrey looked over warily and saw that the point of light was her, who had just consumed the potion and almost turned into a dragon monster. She was on the verge of losing control. Worry, panic, fear, and nervousness were all expressed in her words.
… This is my subconscious. This is my shadow? Audrey vaguely understood where she had gone after leaving the dream.
She wasn't in a hurry to resolve this shadow as she continued descending with anticipation.
According to the theory of Psychological Alchemy, the bottom of the subconscious was her destination — the sea of collective subconscious of all living beings!
During the process of probing downwards, Audrey saw herself listening to her parents tell her legends when she was young. She saw herself, who paid attention to her image but wasn't that elegant behind it. She saw herself participating in the Tarot, but the points of light similar to the latter were all tightly wrapped in gray fog.
These are all things in my subconscious … They affect my character and behavior? Audrey instinctively analyzed with her psychological knowledge.
As different points of light flickered, she was on the verge of an emotional breakdown many times due to this long and lonely exploration without a goal. However, she used her Beyonder powers to "calm" herself in time.
Just as she was about to lose her sense of time, she saw the last step.
In front of the step was a solid, blurry, and gray "ground." Above it were swaying lights and shadows. They were dense and overlapped, like an illusory sea.
Sea of collective subconscious … Audrey took a few steps forward and looked up. She was surprised to find that the "gray fog" was no longer blocking her vision. The sky was clearly revealed.
There were countless indescribable figures there. There were seven different colors of pure light that contained endless knowledge.
Audrey pursed her lips and muttered to herself in delight,
"The sky of spirituality."
Then, she carefully walked forward and began her own adventure.
The lights and shadows that formed the sea flashed past her eyes from time to time. Some of them contained ancient memories of being burned by flames, while others bore the extreme pain of looking directly at indescribable things …
Apart from the imprints from ancient times and the people of the past, Audrey also saw gazes of admiration directed at her. She also saw the folk activities of worshiping dragons.
As she walked, she discovered a grayish-white mountain in the distance to her left. It extended all the way up, drilling out of the sea of light and shadows. The top of it was shrouded in mist, clear and blurry.
Is that another person's consciousness? In the "sea" is the subconscious, and beyond the sea is the normal consciousness? Hmm, he's dreaming … Audrey suddenly thought of a possible Psychiatrist technique. It was to approach and climb up, directly affecting the other party's subconscious thoughts, making him naturally act according to her arrangements.
But this should be very difficult and dangerous … Audrey retracted her gaze and didn't rashly attempt it.
She clearly remembered that she was here to find traces of the mind dragon and the City of Miracles, Liveseyd.
Audrey passed by dozens of other consciousnesses, and gradually, she felt exhausted.
It's time to go back. She instinctively raised her head and looked into the distance, rationally making a decision.
She stood there for a long time, unwilling to leave.
Just as Audrey was about to turn around, a shadow suddenly appeared in midair.
It was a pair of gigantic, dusky wings!
Under the wings was a tall lizard-like monster.
Its entire body was covered in grayish-white stone-like scales, and it had four thick and powerful legs. It seemed to be bathed in nonexistent sunlight as it shimmered like the afterglow of the setting sun.
The monster flew over. Its eyes were pale gold, and its pupils were vertical. It was cold and arrogant.
Its majestic and epic figure quickly disappeared into the sea of subconscious of all creatures.
Dragon … Mind Dragon! Audrey jumped on the spot and looked around, afraid that someone would see her inelegant and rude behavior.
She paced around excitedly and spun in a circle. She was very satisfied with her adventure.
Indeed, the tradition of dragon worship here isn't without a source. There's a mind dragon living in their sea of subconscious … Audrey resisted the urge to praise herself and decided to immediately return and wake up from her dream.
She didn't have the urge to continue exploring because she was completely unprepared. She planned on consulting Mr. Fool and Mr. The Hanging Man on the Tarot next week, hoping to obtain some advice.
Audrey returned the way she came and entered the "mountain" formed by her consciousness. Then, she woke herself up and successfully escaped from the dream.
…
At this moment, Dhaniz was also allowed to return to his room.
He glanced at the German Sparrow and smiled awkwardly.
"You definitely won't tell anyone what you just saw, right?"
