Part 4 The Undead Chapter 127 – New Mushrooms
”In the darkness of the lower deck of the Futura’s cabin, Frank Lee lit a candle to illuminate a long table of bloody meat, mushrooms, wheat and fish.
Frank Lee lit a candle to illuminate a long table filled with blood, mushrooms, wheat and fish.
He casually pushed these things aside and cleared a space just large enough to hold a sheet of letter paper.
Immediately afterward, he laid out the letterhead, picked up a pen, and wrote with an uplifted expression:
”My dear friend Germaine, I am glad you found the last dried mushroom good, perhaps it was more useful than I thought, and I will revisit it when I have some spare time.
”I have stopped making it because of my full commitment to that experiment you mentioned, and most of the previous ones were snatched up and burned by Nina, leaving only the last three, which I hope will be of use to you.
”Along with them is the latest product, a mushroom that can grow and reproduce in dark environments by devouring flesh and blood, it comes in three classifications, one hybridized with wheat that can be ground into mushroom flour and used to produce bread, one that has the properties of a hybrid cow that can be squeezed for milk, and one that mates with fish to bring a refreshing taste that possesses a thick, dense flesh.
”The thing to note is that they should never be eaten raw and must be boiled in hot water above 90 degrees Celsius for at least five minutes to inactivate the activity, otherwise they will actively absorb the flesh and blood around them, including human organs, no matter what they become.
”Another thing is that they are unable to differentiate between what is normal flesh and blood and what is monster flesh and blood, and are unable to deal effectively with the latter, accumulating the appropriate toxicity or insanity.
”I have a feeling that they undergo different mutations due to different kinds of monster flesh and blood, producing different harmful effects, but cannot get confirmation of this as I lack enough monster corpses to do my research, so if you have any in your adventures, please be sure to send them to me, I only need a very small portion.
”As to whether there are any other problems, I’m not really sure, this is still half finished and I can’t try and observe more ……
”May all be well with you, and your adventures bountiful, your truest friend, Frank Lee.”
Putting down his pen, Frank read the reply from the beginning, folded it up with satisfaction, found a gold coin, and pressed it into place.
He quickly set up the ritual for summoning the messenger and prepared to chant the incantation.
It was at this moment that he subconsciously looked around the room and froze for two seconds.
Then, Frank moved all the dirt piled nearby to the door.
……
Queens, inside the luxurious villa of Earl Hall’s family.
Audrey was hiding inside her room, gazing at the glass bottle in her hand.
The bottle was filled with transparent and colorless viscous liquid, when it was quiet, it was like a mirror that could completely reflect all the things within its range, and when there were ups and downs, there was a very small vortex silently rotating under the surface.
This is the “hypnotist” magic potion that has just been successfully formulated!
Audrey has finished digesting the “Psychiatrist” potion, and plans to advance to Sequence 6 before she is contacted by Beckland’s “Psychological Alchemy Society”.
Using Pacify to adjust her mental state, Audrey bites her lip, raises the glass vial, and gulps the potion into her mouth.
After a short period of coldness, she suddenly felt her consciousness explode, and her body seemed to have been infected, becoming somewhat deflated.
At this moment, her mental body, astral body and etheric body seemed to be absorbed and assimilated by the mental body, and her whole body, like a polymer of pure thoughts, drifted up, sensing the boundless sea of collective subconsciousness that connected all living beings, and sensing the spiritual sky that was opposite to it.
Having had the experience of being frightened during the “psychiatrist” stage, Audrey did not panic at this time, and always maintained a trace of lucidity, restrained the instinctive impulse to merge into the “sea”, and allowed her consciousness to spread out endlessly, and then contracted back like a rubber band.
I don’t know how long it took, but she finally found herself, and saw the backs of her hands covered with fine, solid golden scales, and the strands of hair hanging over her shoulders were moist and heavy, as if they had been cast in real gold.
These aberrations receded a little, and Audrey was soon back to normal, though, when she looked in the mirror, she realized that her turquoise eyes looked clear, but hid strange swirls whose bottoms could not be seen, making it hard for those who saw them to look away, and easy for them to wallow in them.
This is the manifestation of a spirituality that is scattered and has not yet been fully converged …… Audrey s brow slowly stretched, and her smile gradually became clear.
She looked at herself in the mirror, nodded gently, and said with a hard-to-conceal smile:
”Audrey, you can already be Sequence 6!”
Waiting until her emotions had calmed down somewhat, she then carefully examined herself to confirm what extraordinary abilities she had acquired and what substantial changes had occurred.
After some busy work, Audrey initially mapped out the situation:
First, her physical quality has been enhanced considerably, whether it is strength, or agility, has exceeded the level of ordinary human beings, and can create a layer of “scales” on the surface of the skin, a greater degree of resistance and attenuation of the damage, the second, the “psychological suggestion” appears to be a qualitative change, became a non-combatant. Secondly, the “mental suggestion” has changed qualitatively, becoming hypnosis in the non-combat field, as long as the target’s attention is really focused on something, Audrey will be able to open the door of the other party’s “mind body”, directly modifying the consciousness and affecting the subconscious.
In this way, the target will be unaware of her arrangements to follow, make all kinds of behavior contrary to the true will.
Of course, if Audrey’s “arrangement” directly jeopardizes the life of the hypnotized person and his subconscious most valued things, the other party will appear strong resistance, resulting in the failure of hypnosis, in addition, if the target is spiritually strong, firm mind, but also to a certain extent to fight against hypnosis.
Third, “battle hypnosis”, Audrey can force hypnosis enemy, let him make abnormal behavior, for example, attack companions, for example, to avoid her this “hypnotist”, however, this “hypnosis However, this kind of “hypnosis” can only be maintained for a very short time, the target will soon be able to wake up and realize the problem, and this also can not directly jeopardize the life of the other party, and can not let the enemy commit suicide.
Fourth, “psychological stealth”, with the help of the target mind body grasp, so that they are in the “dead center of consciousness”, so as to achieve clearly in front of the other party, but completely unable to see and sense the effect of class stealth.
”Very powerful …… The only regret is that there is still no extraordinary ability to directly attack ……” Audrey faintly invisible drumming down the cheeks, trying to collect spirituality, let their eyes look not so mesmerizing.
Initially eliminating the anomaly, she opened the door and let Suzie in, familiarizing herself with her newly acquired extraordinary ability with the help of the big, golden-haired dog’s cooperation.
Not long after, her personal maid Annie knocked on the door with an invitation and said:
”Miss, the church will be holding a charity gala on Saturday night for a newly established bursary fund for the poor, and I hope you can participate.”
Without answering directly, Audrey turned to the question:
”Are my father and mother invited too?”
”Yes, they have also invited the Earl and Lady, and Lord Hibbert.” Anne answered truthfully.
Audrey nodded and said with a light smile:
”Tell the church I’ll be attending.
”Also, find out the specifics of that charity fund so I can decide how much to donate.”
……
Evening, Intis Serenzo’s.
”This place is gorgeous, more so than many nobles’ parlors and sitting rooms.” Voorhees looked around and struck a pose of gathering material.
Although she had participated in many literary salons organized by nobles, she had gone to each other’s homes and had not been to this kind of top-notch restaurant.
Hugh scratched his shaggy blonde hair and said:
”This is the Intis style, it’s not quite the same as ours, it looks gorgeous but has little substance.”
”How can there be no substance? Look, those are famous paintings, famous sculptures ……,” Forsyth deliberately retorted.
Her voice was lowered in the process, as they did not enter through the main entrance.
As they spoke, they found the small compartment that Walter, the butler, had mentioned, and Forsyth simply “opened the door” and pulled Hugh inside, ducking into a cupboard in the exclusive preparation room to wait for the arrival of his employer, Dawn Dantes, and his guests, who needed protection.
”How many gold pounds is that 3% share in some Cowiem company worth, do you think?” Forsyth inquired casually, idly.
In the morning, she had entered St. Samuel’s Church with Hugh, pretending to pray but actually offering protection.
Hugh hesitated and said:
”A few thousand pounds at least; I see that bishop takes it very seriously.”
”How rich, a few thousand pounds to say donate, why don’t you relief relief poor people like us.” Forsyth lamented in a joking manner.
At that moment, the door of the box opened, and Dawn Dantes and the family of Councillor Macht came in, and each of them took his seat, and the corresponding waiters began to be busy.
Hugh and Forsyth ceased speaking, and listened to the idle chatter outside, while noting their surroundings, occasionally twitching their noses at the scent of the food.
Suddenly, Hugh frowned slightly, as if sensing something, and then stretched as if nothing had happened.
”What’s wrong?” Forsyth asked in a low voice as he reached his friend’s ear.
Hugh shook his head and said:
”Nothing, I’m so tense that I’m overreacting.”
At that moment, Klein put down his knife and fork and glanced at the side of his chair with an outwardly businesslike expression.
In his eyes with his auristic vision turned on, a blonde-haired, red-eyed, bright-looking head drilled out of the void, biting a swollen and bulging letter in its mouth.
Vaguely, Klein seemed to smell milk, wheat, and sea fish.
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and his left hand quietly reached out and caught the letter, while Councilor Macht, Lady Liana, and Hazel, who were seated in the other three seats, were all unaware of it.
Klein had just tucked that letter into his coat pocket without a trace when the waiter came out of the preparation room to serve the four guests new dishes, of which, two were pan-fried mushrooms in butter.
Seeing this scene, Klein suddenly recoiled a little, his expression became slightly strange, and his left palm, which had yet to be withdrawn from his coat pocket, shook lightly.
