Nightmare? Klein deliberated for two seconds.
"Yes.
"I would dream of a town shrouded in fog. The crimson moon in the sky would occasionally be clear and blurry.
"In the middle of the town, there was a black cathedral with corpses hanging inside. They wore clothes from different eras, and as they swayed gently in the wind, they produced strange sounds.
"Apart from these, there was also a beautiful woman with blood-colored human flesh hanging from the gaps of her teeth, a Mushroom Man formed from countless tiny mushrooms …"
In order to treat his psychological problems, Klein restored his dream in a relatively complete manner, but he didn't mention that it was something he had really encountered. He didn't reveal that he knew the beautiful woman's identity and the origins of the strange mushrooms. At the same time, he hid the existence of the transparent maggots and Zaratul.
Audrey listened attentively and, based on her Beyonder intuition and her knowledge of mysticism and psychology, she said while thinking,
"Mr. World, I can imagine the horror and evil of these dream scenes, and I can also experience the immense horror that will jolt you awake."
Seeing that he didn't retort despite being separated by a wooden plank, Audrey became more confident. She secretly did another round of Placating and began to guide him.
"The fear in a dream often comes from the emotions hidden in one's heart. And most of the time, the fear hidden in one's heart only comes from two sources. One is the unknown, and the other is irresistible.
"The terrifying things you see in your dream are just the surface. What you're really afraid of is what they represent, symbolize, and what's hidden behind the scenes."
As she spoke, Audrey suddenly asked,
"Then what is it?"
Klein was listening to Miss Justice's gentle and sweet voice as he relaxed bit by bit and scrutinized his inner self when he suddenly heard the question. He subconsciously replied, "That's right.
He subconsciously answered, "It's the existence that created all of this."
He paused for a second and hesitantly added, "They are both unknown and irresistible."
He paused for a second and hesitantly added, "They are both unknown and irresistible."
At this moment, Klein already understood the true reason for his nightmares and his poor mental state.
He was instinctively afraid of certain things, and he instinctively had hidden negative emotions.
The former included the terrifying performance of the transparent maggots and Zaratul, as well as the inexplicable actions of the Eraser Angel and the fact that he had used the Dark Sacred Emblem to successfully "open" the door. They respectively created the feeling of despair that there was no way to block the path ahead, and the unknown feeling of who was friend and foe, or who was plotting something.
Yes, I'm afraid of the transparent maggot that's suspected to be a Sequence 1 Attendant of Mysteries of the Seer pathway. I'm afraid of Zaratul, who has used the door to achieve an unknown goal. I'm afraid of the Goddess whose thoughts are unknown, as well as the Eraser Angel … Klein slowly exhaled as he admitted to his fear.
Audrey used Placate once again and discovered that Mr. World's tense nerves had been relieved. Delighted, she boldly said, "Don't worry.
"One of the biggest sources of fear is a lack of self-confidence. Think back, have you ever been negligent or made a mistake? This caused your spirit to keep reminding you, hinting at you, gradually becoming a part of your nightmare."
I've been negligent, made a mistake, and Spirit's reminder … Klein ruminated over Miss Justice's words as he seriously combed through the details of his fears.
Soon, his expression sank bit by bit as he discovered a problem.
Through the holy sword, under the witness of the Goddess, I made the oath. Although I had yet to become a Clown, and the gray fog's power had yet to enter the real World, preventing me from being detected by special deities, demigods, and spirit world creatures, it was difficult for me to hide from Fate, which is also a Beyonder of the Monster pathway.
And the Goddess has another title — Empress of Misfortune and Horror. "She" wields misfortune and is one of the deities in the domain of fate!
So, did I begin to be watched back then?
Klein's mind settled down bit by bit as the fear that came from the unknown seemed to be greatly alleviated.
He didn't answer, nor did he wait for Miss Justice to speak again.
He asked, "If you were to face one or more enemies that are difficult to challenge, what would you do?"
Audrey wasn't vexed by the patient's question. Instead, she believed that it was a good sign.
After some deliberation, she said, "I'll hide and hide first. I'll work hard to improve myself."
She deliberated and said, "What if the time gained by hiding and hiding isn't enough for you to grow to the point where you can face the enemy?" Klein pressed. "What if the gap between the two parties is difficult to bridge?"
Audrey replied in a half-consoling and half-serious manner, "Find enough helpers.
Helpers … Many names flashed across Klein's mind as his heart settled down.
Helper … Many names flashed through Klein's mind as his heart sank. He continued asking, "What's the matter?
"What if there are helpers plotting something, and they might be beneficial to you or harmful to you?"
"What if some helpers are plotting something, and they might be beneficial to you or harmful to you?"
After a few seconds, she replied in thought, "You can pray to the deities."
"You can pray to the deities."
She was just short of saying, "The World, you can seek Mr. Fool's help."
And the question and answer from before made Audrey confirm one thing. Mr. World's mental problems mainly stemmed from a powerful and terrifying enemy, but deep down, there was a worry about the unknown stance of the "helper."
Pray to the deities … Klein didn't dare to directly say that it was even harder to guess the thoughts of the deities if they couldn't resolve it. After all, this was the kingdom of The Fool, and he was a Blessed.
He organized his words and said, "The deities can only provide help in certain aspects.
"Gods can only help in certain areas, and what if that is not enough?"
"…" Audrey originally wanted to say that there would always be a way and that justice would prevail over evil, but she found it difficult to convince herself. She couldn't find a corresponding example to use as a reference.
Finally, she pursed her lips and said, "I don't know …"
Inside the confessional, it was dark and silent. The two of them didn't speak for a short period of time, as though they had fallen into different inner struggles.
Finally, Audrey broke the silence and looked at the wooden board that separated them.
"No matter what, I have to do something. I have to work hard at something. I can't just give up and not resist."
That's right … At least I still have quite a number of secrets and something to rely on … Klein closed his eyes and leaned against the wooden board. His thoughts gradually turned back to recent matters, and he was no longer as tense and anxious as before.
Audrey sensed the changes in this aspect and immediately added a Placate. With that, Klein's mental state was completely restored.
"I feel much better. Thank you for your treatment. How much do you need for the consultation fee?" Klein took the initiative to ask.
Actually, I should be the one thanking you for providing me with the case … Audrey didn't really wish to collect the consultation fee. Looking at the wooden board that separated them in the deep darkness, she couldn't help but recall Mr. World's usual gloomy, cold, experienced, and ruthless behavior.
Hmm … His mental problems should also be a result of his personality … Audrey suddenly had an idea as the corners of her mouth curled up.
"The consultation fee I need is very little.
"Yes, wish me happiness!"
… What's going on? Klein was taken aback, nearly forgetting that he was wearing the persona of the German Sparrow.
He had never heard of such a request before!
Klein hesitated for a moment before he finally used his identity as The World and pretended to speak coldly.
"Since you've made such a request …
"I wish you happiness."
Audrey's smile widened.
"I wish you happiness as well!
"Mr. World, don't keep things bottled up in your heart. Smile more and be happier. That can eliminate many latent problems.
"Alright, your mental problems have been resolved, but you will have to do a follow-up in a few days or next week."
Klein didn't know how to respond, so he could only give a simple terse grunt.
Then, he heard the door opposite him creak open. From The Fool's point of view, he saw Miss Justice exit the confessional and straighten her body.
After making her return to the real World, Klein didn't dare to stay above the gray fog for too long. He quickly left and lay in his bed.
At this moment, with his mental state restored, his body and mind relaxed. Only then did he realize something. He had digested quite a bit of his Marionettist potion. His progress had far exceeded his expectations!
This is because I've relied on a marionette to fool the demigod Panatiya in the foggy town, controlling her and Mr. A to complete the performance according to my expectations? Therefore, apart from "trying to stay behind the scenes" and "making every marionette have their own persona to make it more realistic," the Marionettist principles also include "using one's marionette as a guide to control the enemy and put on a puppet show in reality? Klein muttered inwardly in thought, believing that he might be able to finish digesting the potion within the year.
He exhaled with mixed emotions and turned his head to look at the crimson moonlight that penetrated the curtains.
He silently said, That missing servant should've been found. The clues I left behind should've been discovered …
…
In the basement of Saint Samuel Cathedral, Leonard, Cindy, Bob, and company looked at Captain Sostel, who had just returned from a meeting. They patiently waited for him to introduce new clues.
Sostel drank a mouthful of fragrant coffee and said, "The missing servant has been found.
"The missing servant has been found.
"And in the room he was placed in, there were some clothes left behind by the infiltrator.
"It has been confirmed that it belongs to the crazy adventurer, German Sparrow, who was previously active at sea."
Why is there another crazy adventurer involved … Leonard was somewhat surprised as he directly asked, "When did he come to Baekeland?
The only thing that can be confirmed is that this crazy adventurer has appeared at sea in recent weeks and has hunted some pirates. "
"No one knows. The only thing we can be sure of is that this crazy adventurer has appeared at sea in recent weeks and killed some pirates." "No one knows. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this crazy adventurer has appeared at sea in recent weeks and has hunted some pirates."
Just as Sostel finished giving his instructions, a telegram was sent in.
It came from the Nighthawks in Desi County. The decoded content was:
"Dawn Dantès's current identity is fake. He has been in the Southern Continent for the past ten years, and he has amassed quite a bit of wealth through adventuring … Further confirmation will take time because it's very chaotic there. There are often wars, and the regions frequently change."
