At the bottom of the Future's cabin, in the pitch-black environment.
Frank Lee lit a candle, illuminating a long table filled with flesh, mushrooms, wheat, and fish.
He casually pushed the items aside and cleared out a space that was just enough to hold a letter.
Right on the heels of that, he laid out the letter, picked up a fountain pen, and wrote with an excited expression:
"My dear friend, Gehrman, I'm very happy that you found the dried mushrooms pretty good. Perhaps they are more useful than I imagined. When I'm free, I'll take another look at them.
"As I'm fully immersed in the experiment you mentioned, I've already stopped manufacturing them. Most of the ones from before have been snatched and burned by Nina. There are only three left. I hope they can be of help to you.
"Along with them is the latest product. A type of mushroom that can grow and reproduce by devouring flesh and blood in the dark. It has three types. One of them is a hybrid of wheat, which can be ground into mushroom powder to produce bread. Another has the characteristics of a hybrid cow, which can be used to extract milk. The last one is a hybrid of fish, giving it a refreshing taste. It has thick and tight flesh.
"What you need to take note of is that it absolutely cannot be eaten raw. It has to be cooked at 90 ° C and above for at least five minutes to kill its activity. Otherwise, no matter what it turns into, it will automatically absorb the flesh and blood around it, including human organs.
"Another point. They are unable to distinguish between normal flesh and monster flesh, nor are they able to effectively deal with the latter. They will accumulate the corresponding toxicity or madness.
"I feel that they will undergo different mutations due to different types of monster flesh and blood, resulting in different levels of harm. However, I'm unable to verify it because I lack sufficient monster corpses for research. If you obtain any during your adventures, please send them to me. I only need a very small amount.
"As for whether there are any other problems, I'm not too sure either. This is still considered a half-finished product, so there's no way to conduct further experiments or observations …
"I wish you success in everything and that your adventures will be fruitful. Your most sincere friend, Frank Lee."
Putting down the fountain pen, Frank read the reply from the beginning and folded it in satisfaction. He found a gold coin and pressed it on top.
He quickly set up the messenger summoning ritual and prepared to recite the incantation.
At this moment, he subconsciously surveyed his surroundings and was stunned for two seconds.
Then, Frank moved all the dirt that was piled nearby outside the door.
…
Empress Borough, Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
Audrey was hiding in her room, staring at the glass bottle in her hand.
The bottle was filled with a transparent, colorless, viscous liquid. When it was quiet, it was like a mirror, completely reflecting everything within its range. When it fluctuated, there were small whirlpools spinning silently under its surface.
This was the Hypnotist potion that he had just concocted!
Audrey had already digested the Psychiatrist potion. She planned on advancing to Sequence 6 before Baekeland's Psychological Alchemy contacted her.
After using Placate to adjust her mental state, Audrey bit her lower lip, raised the glass bottle, and poured the potion into her mouth.
After a short period of coldness, she suddenly felt her consciousness explode. Her body seemed to be infected and became somewhat illusory.
At this moment, her Soul Body, Astral Projection, and Ether Body seemed to be absorbed and assimilated by the Body of Heart and Mind. Her entire body was like a composite of pure thoughts as she floated up. She sensed the boundless sea of collective subconscious that connected all living beings, as well as the spirituality sky that corresponded to it.
Having experienced the shock she experienced at the Psychiatrist stage, Audrey didn't panic. She maintained a sliver of lucidity and restrained her instinctive urge to fuse with the "sea." She allowed her consciousness to spread out without end before shrinking back like a rubber band.
After an unknown period of time, she finally found herself. She saw that the back of her hand was covered in dense, sturdy golden scales. She saw that the strands of hair that hung over her shoulders were glossy and heavy, as though they were made of real gold.
These anomalies receded bit by bit, and Audrey quickly returned to normal. However, when she looked in the mirror, she realized that although her green eyes looked clear, there was a strange bottomless vortex hidden within them. It made it difficult for anyone who saw it to look away, making it easy for them to lose themselves in it.
This is a sign of my spirituality dissipating and not being completely converged … Audrey's brows slowly relaxed as her smile gradually became clearer.
She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded gently. She couldn't hide her smile and said,
She couldn't hide her smile as she said, "Audrey, you're already a Sequence 6!"
After her emotions calmed down, she seriously examined herself to confirm what Beyonder powers she had obtained and what substantial changes had occurred.
After a period of busywork, Audrey gained a preliminary understanding of the situation.
First, her physical fitness had been greatly enhanced. Be it her strength or agility, they had exceeded the level of an ordinary human. Furthermore, she could produce a layer of "scales" on the surface of her skin, greatly reducing and resisting damage. Second, her Psychological Cue had undergone a qualitative change. It had become a hypnosis in the non-combat domain. As long as the target's attention was truly focused on something, Audrey could open the door to the Body of Heart and Mind, directly modifying the target's consciousness and influencing the subconscious.
This way, the target would unknowingly follow her arrangements and do all sorts of actions that went against their true will.
Of course, if Audrey's "arrangements" directly harmed the hypnotized person's life or the things they subconsciously valued the most, the other party would show strong resistance, causing the hypnosis to fail. In addition, if the target was mentally strong and had a firm mind, they could also resist the hypnosis to a certain extent.
Third, Combat Hypnosis. Audrey could forcefully hypnotize the enemy, making them do abnormal actions. For example, attacking their companions or avoiding her as a Hypnotist. However, this kind of hypnosis could only be maintained for a short period of time. The target would quickly wake up and realize the problem. Similarly, it couldn't directly harm the target's life or make the enemy commit suicide.
Fourth, Psychological Invisibility. With her grasp of the target's Body of Heart and Mind, she could place herself in a "blind spot," thus achieving an invisibility effect where the target couldn't see or sense her despite being right in front of her.
Very impressive … The only regret is that I still don't have any Beyonder powers that can directly attack … Audrey puffed up her cheeks indiscernibly as she tried her best to converge her spirituality, making her eyes not look so intoxicating.
After eliminating the initial abnormalities, she opened the door and let Susie in. With the golden retriever's cooperation, she familiarized herself with her newly obtained Beyonder powers.
Before long, her personal maidservant, Annie, knocked on the door and entered with an invitation.
"Miss, the Church will be holding a charity gala on Saturday night. It's for a newly established bursary foundation that targets the poor. We hope that you can participate."
Audrey didn't answer directly but asked instead,
Instead, she asked, "Did they invite my father and mother as well?"
"Yes, they also invited the Earl and Madam, as well as Lord Hibbert," Annie answered truthfully.
Audrey nodded and smiled.
"Tell the Church that I'll participate.
"Also, figure out the exact situation of the charity foundation so that I can decide on the donation amount."
…
At night, Intis Serenzo Restaurant.
"This place is gorgeous. It's even more gorgeous than the living rooms and activity rooms of many nobles." Fors looked around and assumed a posture of gathering material.
Although she had participated in many literary salons organized by nobles, she had always gone to their homes and had never come to such a top-notch restaurant.
Xio scratched her coarse blonde hair and said, "This is the style of Intis.
It's different from us. It looks gorgeous, but it doesn't have any connotations. "
"How can it not have any connotations? Look, those are all famous oil paintings, famous sculptures … "Fors deliberately retorted.
During this process, she suppressed her voice because they didn't enter through the main entrance.
As they spoke, they found the tiny private room that Butler Walter had mentioned. Fors directly "opened the door" and pulled Xio inside. They hid in a cupboard in an exclusive pantry and waited for their employer, Dawn Dantès, and his guests to arrive.
"How much do you think that 3% of the Coim Company's shares is worth?" the bored Fors casually asked.
In the morning, she entered Saint Samuel Cathedral with Xio and pretended to pray, but she was actually providing protection.
Xio hesitated and said, "At least a few thousand pounds.
I think that bishop places great importance on it. "
"How rich. He donates thousands of pounds just like that. Why doesn't he help poor people like us?" Fors said wistfully in a joking manner.
At this moment, the door to the private room opened. Dawn Dantès and Macht's family walked in and took their seats. The corresponding waiters also began busying themselves.
Xio and Fors didn't speak further as they listened to the chatter outside and paid attention to their surroundings. From time to time, their noses would twitch because of the food's fragrance.
Suddenly, Xio frowned slightly as though she sensed something. She immediately relaxed as though nothing had happened.
"What's wrong?" Fors whispered into her friend's ear.
Xio shook her head and said, "Nothing.
"It's nothing. I was too tense, so I overreacted."
At that moment, Klein put down his cutlery and glanced at the side of his chair with a calm expression.
With his Spirit Vision activated, he saw a blonde, red-eyed, and beautiful head emerge from the void. In its mouth was a bulging letter.
Vaguely, Klein seemed to smell milk, wheat, and fish.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he secretly extended his left hand and grabbed the letter. Seated in the other three seats, Macht, Riana, and Hazel didn't notice anything.
Just as Klein stuffed the letter into his pocket without leaving a trace, the waiters walked out of the pantry and served the four guests new dishes. Among them, two were butter-fried mushrooms.
Upon seeing this scene, Klein suddenly felt a little nauseous as his expression turned odd. His right palm, which had yet to be pulled out of his pocket, trembled slightly.
