From Audrey's point of view, Mr. World's present state couldn't be considered to be mentally ill. It wasn't something that would cause him to lose control. It was just that his life goals and meaning of existence had been destroyed, resulting in a certain psychological barrier. As long as she could guide him and help him establish a short-term or mid-term goal, allowing him to find the meaning of life step by step, the problem would gradually be resolved.
Amidst the peaceful and dark silence, Audrey heard the German Sparrow on the other side of the wall reply in a deep voice, "No."
As expected … Audrey wasn't surprised.
She took the opportunity to ask, "Then, did he search for his family's last words?
"Did he search for his family's last words? Did he search for their graves? Did he attempt to figure out the reason for his slumber? "
Behind the wall, the Spirit Body seemed to vanish for a few seconds without a sound. After a while, the hoarse voice slowly said, "No, not for the time being."
Not for the time being … Does that mean there will be in the future?
Not for the time being … Does that mean there will be in the future? Audrey felt her heart lighten up. This was because she could clearly sense that World German Sparrow's emotions were no longer as gloomy and gloomy. It was as though he lacked interest in anything. He already had a certain level of motivation and a little urgency, but he still appeared a little lost.
Seizing the opportunity, Audrey used Placate again. The effects were much better than before. At the very least, she believed that Mr. World had used this to escape from the abyss of depression and return to a normal person's depressed state.
Following that, Audrey didn't probe into how to search for traces or investigate the reason, as it was very likely to bring about conflict. She nodded in the dark confessional and said, "Yes.
There are still many things that can be done. There are still many problems that need to be fixed! Perhaps there's a chance to meet someone of the same bloodline? Perhaps his family didn't die of old age, and for some reason, they had lived to this day? The reason why life is meaningful is because of the infinite possibilities.
"In the process of searching, you can't ignore the surrounding scenery. Life isn't just a single path. There are also many side roads and alleys. If there's only the former, how monotonous would it be? You have to learn to interact, experience, and discover …"
Audrey, who was trying hard to recall the appropriate words from various books, suddenly thought of something. Her voice softened a little.
"Also, don't wear that thick mask."
It doesn't matter if it's more frivolous and transparent. This is because no one doesn't wear a mask when interacting with others. No one likes to directly reveal their private parts. This is a form of self-protection, as well as respect for others … When Mr. World has a certain number of friends, life will naturally have a new meaning … Audrey silently added a few more words in her heart, but she ultimately didn't say them out loud. This was because she believed that it was too straightforward, and it might even produce a negative effect.
As she expected, the German Sparrow fell silent again. He was still confused.
After a few seconds, a voice that was no longer as hoarse came over.
"Thank you for your explanation and treatment."
"No, it's all because of your inner strength," Audrey replied seriously.
She used Placate one last time to ensure that Mr. World's mental state was close to normal and that there wouldn't be any relapses.
She then heard German Sparrow say:
"Let's call it a day, shall we?"
Audrey adjusted her tone again and replied briskly, "Of course.
"Of course, it's not a serious problem. When you're free next week, you can do a follow-up.
"Also, if it's possible, concoct some medicine to stabilize your mental state. Take it for seven days. The ingredients are 10 grams of chamomile powder, 5 grams of rosemary powder, 10 milliliters of vanilla extract … During this period of time, don't reduce your intake of sweets. Relax yourself appropriately …"
In the dark and quiet confessional, she held the wall with her hand and slowly stood up.
At this moment, German Sparrow's voice penetrated the wall.
"What's the consultation fee?"
Audrey held the wall with one hand and tilted her head slightly in thought.
"We'll talk about it after I obtain the Spectator pathway's Sequence 5 potion formula. When the time comes, I might need you to help me gather the ingredients.
"If Psychological Alchemy provides the ingredients as well, uh …"
The corners of her mouth curled up bit by bit.
"When you return to Baekeland from the Southern Continent, remember to bring me a local specialty as a gift."
A super luxurious coffin that can be carried by eight people? On the other side of the wall, Klein had the baffling urge to lampoon. Then, he stood up along the wall and sent Miss Justice back to the real World.
After waving his hand to make the confessional vanish, he returned to the end of the long bronze table and sat at the seat belonging to The Fool.
On the table in front of him, on the right were the three Cards of Blasphemy — Black Emperor, Tyrant, and Red Priest. On the left was Creeping Hunger, which Leonard Mitchell had just sent back through Miss Messenger, Reinette Tinekerr.
I owe Miss Messenger another 10,000 gold coins … Klein retracted his gaze and raised his right hand to rub his temples.
In order to prevent Ince Zangwill from escaping through the spirit world, he had communicated with Reinette Tinekerr before planning this murder. He got her to be in charge of banishing the spirit world creatures around Revival Square, and the price was still 10,000 gold coins.
The only thing that surprised him was that 0-08 was more terrifying than he had imagined. With Ince Zangwill suffering from the Curse of God and being drained by King of Angels Adam, his first attempt had "attracted" an unknown creature that could break through Reinette Tinekerr's seal. If not for Daly Simone's forceful spirit channeling and establishing a contract, Ince Zangwill might very well have escaped.
Of course, with the Curse of God on him, even if Ince Zangwill were to successfully escape, there was a high chance that he would encounter other calamities in the future. For example, he might be thrown to a more dangerous place by the unknown creature, or he might be directly harmed. However, that wasn't within his control.
Thinking of how he had to bear a debt of 10,000 gold coins, Klein felt a headache, but his mental state turned for the better.
After going up the staircase of light to the top of the gray cloud and seeing the door of light and the cocoons, his mind suffered an impact like a flood that had broken through a dam. He felt that all his expectations had been shattered, and his mature outlook on the World, life, and values collapsed as a result. He became muddle-headed like a zombie.
Thankfully, he still had his survival instincts, and he sought treatment from his private psychiatrist, Miss Justice Audrey, in a timely manner.
Phew … Klein exhaled and forced himself to turn his thoughts back to the cocoons. And when he saw the scene, his instinctive reaction was:
An extremely high-level existence, or a certain Sealed Artifact, had used different methods to capture a large number of people from Earth at the same time. Among them, there were people who had used the luck enhancement ritual, people who had bought strange silver tokens, and people whose phones had been infected with strange viruses …
Then, the souls of these transmigrators were sealed in the cocoons and hung above the door of light, waiting for a certain opportunity to be sent into the real World.
According to Klein's observations, the door of light didn't have any intelligence at the moment. It operated purely on instinct, which also meant that as long as the conditions were met, it would catalyze a cocoon and send the souls inside to a specific target's body.
From the looks of it, Klein guessed that there were probably two conditions that needed to be met.
First, there had to be no other transmigrators in front of him, or the transmigrator had been judged to have failed or died. Second, there had to be something, an item, or a ritual's "summoning," just like the black divination that Klein Moretti had done according to the Antigonus family's notebook.
As for if there's anything else, I have no idea unless I find the corresponding content in Rosell The Great's diary … Combining all the aspects, my current theory should be very close to the truth. This way, it can explain why the Emperor and I were born in the same era on Earth, with a difference of less than a year. However, we were separated by more than two hundred years when we transmigrated … It's because we transmigrated at the same time, but we were "cast" in different eras! Before entering the real World, the Emperor and I had been asleep for countless years … The brother from next door? Klein leaned back in his chair as his eyes shimmered before turning gloomy again.
This was a rough judgment he had made based on the situation of the door of light, his own situation, and the Emperor's diary.
Of course, this didn't mean that there were no other possibilities. However, at present, Klein couldn't find any other evidence to support his theory. For example, a cocoon might mean that a transmigrator had a life, but this conflicted with Klein's recovery becoming increasingly difficult, as well as the fact that his Spirit Body hadn't changed.
And if his theory wasn't too far off from the truth, it meant that he had left Earth and transmigrated for at least two hundred years, or even a few thousand years. Even if he found the path and method to return to Earth, he wouldn't be able to return to the home in his heart.
Compared to the distance in space, the barrier of time was even more despairing.
This was the reason why Klein's mental state had collapsed. "Returning home" had always been his ultimate goal.
Miss Justice is right. There are still many problems that need to be resolved and explored … What's the meaning of hanging so many transmigrators at the door of light? What's the goal? Back then, who set up everything and pulled so many people over? Where have they gone now? The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings? Klein tried his best to immerse himself into a state of thought so that he could find his future goal again.
Unfortunately, he could only approach the door of light. He couldn't touch it, grasp it, or even see it clearly. He temporarily didn't have the ability to do any research, making it difficult for him to obtain the most direct information.
I should consider seeking clues from the real World … Also, since I'm at Sequence 4, I can ascend that gray cloud and see the door of light. Then, when I reach Sequence 2, there will be another qualitative change. Does that mean that I'll be able to control the door of light to a certain extent and figure out the reason?
Heh heh, I was infected by the Seven Lights, the Goddess, and Arrodes's attitude. I nearly believed that I was really the owner of the gray fog, the great ruler above the spirit world. Now, from the looks of it, I'm just an experimental product that was randomly chosen. Once I fail, the next transmigrator will appear … Klein muttered to himself as he tapped the edge of the long bronze table.
He was curious about something else.
Three shattered cocoons. One represented himself, one represented the Emperor, and the last represented someone else.
