Part 3 The Traveler Chapter 37 Naming
The golden liquid was icy cold, making Audrey feel like she was enjoying a delicious ice cream, followed by a sip of champagne, with tiny bubbles rising and exploding noiselessly, delivering a slightly numbing thrill.
Her hearing suddenly spread so that she could hear even the conversation between the two maids at the end of the corridor who were regretting that they hadn’t had the chance to go to the Hall family castle and estate in East Cheshire.
In this moment, Audrey felt herself dissolve into an illusory gas and expand rapidly outward, taking over the entire house and overlapping with the ocean of consciousness that made up everyone’s mind.
Her vision changed as well, and everything she saw was unusually smooth, becoming an alternative mirror to what she now looked like.
Underneath the beauty described by words such as pure, delicate, atmospheric, and soulful, her bare skin was slowly growing a golden scale, and her turquoise eyes contracted, tinted with a light golden hue, as if they were being erected.
Seeing herself like this, Audrey was suddenly struck with a heartfelt fear, not wanting or desiring to become an inhuman monster!
With a buzzing sound, her mind began to blur, and something seemed to be slowly and painfully burrowing out of the surface of her body.
That’s when she heard the soft voice of Susie, the big blonde dog:
”Don’t be afraid, calm down.
”Don’t be afraid, calm down.”
Audrey found her way back to her thoughts and tried her best to get into the “audience” state.
Her ups and downs quickly calmed down, and her spirit seemed to pull out of her body and look down on her like a spectator.
Audrey saw the golden scales on her body visibly fade, and saw her emerald eyes become normal.
It didn’t take long for her to regain control of her body and understand what extraordinary abilities psychics had and how to use them.
Just now, just now it was really dangerous …… Audrey raised her hand afterward, only to see that her skin was white and delicate, which still had the abnormalities of just now.
After this incident, she really understood the “fool” Mr. occasional mention, “inverted hanging man” Mr. always stressed how terrible the danger of losing control, deep understanding of the road to transcendence is difficult.
Even with the play method, it is impossible to completely eliminate the hidden dangers!
At one of the gatherings, Mr. “World” said that the extraordinary is a poor man who is always fighting against danger and madness. …… I could only understand it literally before, but now I finally feel the weight behind this statement… …Audrey, don’t be discouraged, don’t be afraid, your dad, mom, and brother, are still waiting for you to protect them, and with this experience, you won’t be scared of yourself in the future, and won’t be on the verge of losing control so easily! Cheer up! Audrey clenched her fists and gave herself a pep talk.
She calmed herself for two seconds, walked over to Susie, half-squatted down, and hugged the big blonde dog, brushing the other’s fur as she pressed her head against the dog’s side, murmuring in that warmth:
”Thank you, thank you ……”
Suzie rubbed it twice and said seriously:
”Audrey, is this what it’s like to be a psychiatrist?
”I love it.”
…… Audrey suddenly cried and laughed a little, and then, she pursed her lips and promised:
”Susie, we’ll treat each other for, um, psychological problems later!”
”Okay, woof!” Susie happily responded.
It wasn’t until this time that Audrey really recovered and was in the mood to examine the enhancements she had gained:
”My body seems to have gotten healthier, and although I don’t have any noticeable muscles, my strength and speed are much better than before ……
”My eyesight has improved again, I can clearly see even items hidden in the dark ……
”My sense of smell can distinguish more subtle odors now, thus grasping the target’s truest emotions and thoughts ……
”I finally have truly remarkable abilities, well, one is ‘Shock and Awe’, which can be used on a single target or a ranged group, causing them to instantly panic and appear confused as if they were facing a giant dragon;
”One is ‘Frenzy’, which triggers the target’s emotional or mental state, causing him to fall into a ‘frenzy’ and suffer intense damage on a mental level, and in some cases, even causing the target to lose control outright;
”One is ‘psychological suggestion’, suggesting to the target through specific actions specific words specific mediums, so that he unconsciously follows my arrangements, or strongly, from the heart, does not want to break a certain promise;
”One is ‘pacification’, also called ‘psychoanalysis’, which allows an extraordinary person on the verge of losing control to recover his senses and get rid of a dangerous situation, which has a certain probability of failure, the higher the sequence, the more likely to succeed, and which allows a patient who is psychologically unstable due to various reasons psychologically unstable patients to calm down and be able to communicate;
”One is the true ‘reading of the mind,’ which, through the medium of candle-flame, pure dew, etc., puts the target in a semi-hypnotic state, and communicates directly with his mind-body, as Mr. Hilbert Arrucard did to me, without the ‘Fool ‘ Mr. Angel to provide protection, there’s no way I could have lied in that situation, well …… I’ll have to beware of similar techniques in the future, I can’t be deceived by the target, there should be quite a few more ways to achieve that kind of effect ……
”With ‘appeasement’ and ‘mind-reading’, plus some knowledge of psychology, I’ll be able to play the role of a real psychiatrist, the kind that can open a clinic!”
Audrey’s mood rapidly improved, finally having the feeling that she had grown up and was a qualified Extraordinary Person.
I’m a Middle Sequence Extraordinary Person now! Sure enough there was a qualitative change! She stood up, lifted her skirt, and circled around on her feet.
She quickly realized that the problem was that the “psychiatrist” still lacked the ability to attack directly.
Fortunately, I have it …… Audrey stopped at the lab table and opened a plain brown box.
Inside the box was a silver mask that only covered the upper half of her face, the very same magical item that the Inverted Man had sold her.
Audrey picked it up and held it in her palm, observing it for a few seconds.
Then she spread out her spirituality, giving it some thought as she had done with the gray mist.
She saw the silver mask begin to curl inward, transforming into a hollowed out, delicately patterned, slightly oversized earring in the center.
”Maybe it would be better if it turned into a necklace.” Audrey whispered.
She then tried out various aspects of the magical item’s abilities with a sense of reward, and was most pleased with the point of fine-tuning her appearance.
”Unfortunately, besides manipulating flames, it doesn’t have any more or more direct attacking abilities, perhaps I’ll have to prepare another pistol, the kind with extraordinary effects ……” Audrey thought with a slight sense of regret.
She quickly gathered her thoughts and said in an upward trailing voice to the magical item in her hand:
”From this day on, your name is ‘Lie’, the most beautiful lie~”
……
”City of Generosity” Bayam, Docklands, 48 Sour Lemon Street, Hotel “Azure Wind”.
Outside, the rain was pouring down and the storm was raging, but inside the luxury suite, the fireplace was warm and the environment was peaceful.
Kraven sat in his chair, watching in silence as Danitz “The Flame” took care of the serious fracture of his left arm by himself.
Only after he had bound his arm with old clothes torn into strips did he speak bluntly:
”What treasure?”
According to Danitz, it was because of a certain treasure that “General Blood” Seniol wanted to deal with “Lieutenant General Iceberg” Edwina Edwards.
The sound of the wind and rain came through the window, Daniz took a sip of the table’s “Glorious Ranch”, and laughed angrily and bitterly:
”Those guys with their brains eaten by walkers!
”In our last expedition, we found a shipwreck, and while we didn’t get anything too valuable, we did find a huge black iron key that wasn’t used by humans. Can you imagine? After all those years sunk at the bottom of the sea, it didn’t even rust.”
”Can.” Klein responded succinctly.
In the world where transcendence and mystery were intertwined, what was impossible?
It was possible to come back from the dead, let alone anything else!
Daniz choked on his words for a moment, slowing down for seven or eight seconds before he knew how to proceed:
”We may have had a traitor within us, and the news was spread, and countless pirates believed that it was the key to death, the key that would unlock the treasure left behind by that god of death.
”I originally thought that this issue would soon be cleared up, and happily applied for a leave of absence, but as a result, things became even more complicated, and even the ‘Admiral Above the Blood’ joined those crazy pirates, and I was a little skeptical that that might be the ‘Death’s Key ‘, a key that can make one a true god.”
”Stupid.” Klein calmly gave his assessment.
Whether it was in the field of divination or dealing with deities, he was experienced, so he had his own interpretation of the “Death God’s Key” and was very confident.
He believed that the “key” is a revelation, a symbol, the probability of opening the treasury of the god of death is not something in the shape of a key, but a certain characteristic, a certain bloodline, or even a specific few people and their descendants.
Danez was stunned for two seconds, sighing in oil:
”Your words are exactly the same as the Captain’s earlier comment, right down to the expression.
”She suspects that the key belongs to a much older time, not to humans.
”Before the Cataclysm, the world was still alive with giants, dragons, elves, magic wolves, and other creatures, and the shape of that key points vaguely to one of them.”
Demon Wolf ……Klein suddenly thought of the ravings that always echoed in his ears when he was promoted before, and the “Fregla” in it referred to the ancient god “Demon Wolf of Destruction”.
A treasure from the Second Era? He pressed down his curiosity and said calmly:
”Write down all the things that ‘General Blood’ has done, including ‘Steel’ McVitie and his men.”
He remembered that “General Blood Above” and his pirate group were the most notorious group on the ocean, and it could be said that their hands were full of blood and sin.
”How could I possibly remember? It’s not like they were beautiful women like the captain!” Daniz spread his hands and said, “I can only list the most major deeds, and some details that I was impressed with, hiss, what do you want to do?”
Little by little, Klein gave a smile, one that emboldened Danez.
He spoke in a low voice:
”If it’s appropriate, I’d like to hunt them.”
