Part 5 The Red Priest Chapter 123 “The Bottom of the Sea”
The giant with the bloodshot eyes that tore at the legs of the man did not really exist, but was in essence an intense emotion generated by a certain being or beings.
This emotion originating from an extremely deep impression entered the subconscious mind, spreading from the island of the mind to the illusory “ocean” around it, gradually settling down and turning into a brand – not all emotions and consciousnesses eventually settle down, and the vast majority of them will be erased by time, and be “erased” by the “ocean”. Not all emotions and realizations can eventually settle down, most of them will be worn out by time, washed away by the “sea”, and only the kind that is extremely strong or has appeared many times over can survive.
And once it becomes a brand, that is, a drop of water in the ocean of collective subconsciousness, it can reverse its influence on the surrounding beings of the same species, and become their common, ancient “memories” engraved into their bloodline.
Therefore, the illusory giant figure of the mythological creature form is not only not clear enough, and there are many subjective consciousness to fill in the wrong part, normally would not let Leonard and Audrey can not see, spiritual confusion, mental collapse, but that kind of accompanying it with a sense of madness, do not know who originated from the sense of extreme fear, are like a substance, can be infected with every living soul’s mind body, astral body, and even the spiritual body!
This is the nature of those dangers within the sea of collective subconsciousness, which does not originate from the power, level, or realm itself, but from the emotions and feelings that are thus generated and imprinted.
Of course, if you encounter the “imprint” left behind by a high level creature or a god, you can really see some kind of mythological creature form directly, but the result is definitely not too good, either the spirit collapses and goes crazy, or it is completely contaminated by the emotions and feelings of the gods or high level creatures, and no one can guess in advance what it will become.
In short, here, in this sea of collective subconsciousness, the way of fighting was not the same as in the outside world, and there were times when the more you rushed to destroy the shadows, the more likely it was that you would be infected due to your emotions being mobilized.
Because of this, as soon as Klein saw the seven or eight meter tall gray and blue giant charging over, he immediately grabbed control of his emotions.
Then, he used an “Illusion”.
The targets of this “illusion” were Leonard and Audrey.
In the eyes of these two Sequence 5 Extraordinary People, the two or three-story house-high giant no longer had that kind of madness, tyranny, and the feeling that made people tremble from the bottom of their hearts, but appeared to be ordinary and commonplace.
Thus, before the real extreme feelings contaminated over, both Leonard and Audrey were very calm and did not show any emotional fluctuations.
Immediately afterward, with one hand in his pocket, Leonard extended his right hand forward and slightly opened his mouth.
He originally wanted to drive the first spirit that he had sealed on his teeth with the help of the Archbishop after he became a “spirit witch”, the Fear Banshee (a powerful spirit creature with a beautiful face and rotting body, and a pair of huge eagle wings that specializes in feeding on other people’s consciousness and instilling the emotion of fear), but soon remembered that he was not only an astral body, but had also experienced the same emotions as he did now. But he soon remembered that he was not only an astral body, but also experienced the baptism of the gray mist, so how could there be other spirits in his “body”.
He had no choice but to use his “Spiritist” ability instead, and his turquoise eyes turned dark.
The giant silhouette immediately slowed down its pace, and its emotions seemed to have been eased to a certain extent.
At this time, Audrey also calmly and peacefully opened her arms slightly and used “Pacify”.
As the invisible wind blew, the giant’s shadow appeared to stagnate, and its influence on the surrounding area instantly weakened.
During this process, Klein took out the copper-green cross with many spikes, opened the bottle containing his own blood and poured a few drops onto it, while speaking with a solemn expression:
”Light!”
Brilliant, pure, and flawless light burst forth, drowning that giant silhouette as Klein’s black trench coat swayed slightly.
With little resistance, the grayish-blue giant quickly melted away.
One of the main abilities of the “Darknessless Cross” was to remove or purify the remaining spiritual imprints!
This was the reason why Klein had brought this seal with him.
When using this cross from the ancient sun god, Klein had lifted the illusion so that Leonard “Star” and Audrey “Justice” could visually “see” the real appearance of the giant’s shadow, in order to enhance their powers. The real appearance of the giant’s shadow, in order to enhance their experience and improve their experience in this area.
Although it took less than a second for the giant’s silhouette to be drowned out by the endless light, Audrey and Leonard still felt dizzy, and from the depths of their hearts, an uncontrollable panic surged, and their spirits nearly collapsed.
This did not last long, Audrey instinctively gave herself a “pacification”, calmed down, and then in turn to treat the psychological problems of Mr. “Star” and Mr. “World”.
”It’s really scary… …… Is this a demigod level giant?” When the light dissipated, “Justice” Audrey looked around and sighed heartily.
In this instant, she understood a saying more deeply:
”Do not look directly at God!”
Even a demigod at the level of a saint, who only has images left in other people’s memories, can’t directly feel or “see”, let alone a real deity.
Leonard was also considered experienced and smiled to himself:
”Sequence 4 is indeed the level of qualitative change in life, however, that fear just now was just that, not as strong as the emotions I felt when I was facing a pregnant woman.”
Are poets all bragging by nature? You were still able to control yourself at that time, just now you were already close to breaking down …… However, if Mego Oss had successfully given birth to that child, we are afraid that just by looking at it, we would have broken down and lost control of ourselves and become monsters …… Klein, while belabored Leonard, due to the memories evoked, was Somewhat sobbing.
”Was that a demigod pregnant woman?” Audrey asked rather curiously.
”No.” Leonard shook his head, “But she was pregnant with an evil god heir.”
In that case …… Audrey didn’t ask any more questions, as she clearly knew that the adventure and exploration was not yet over, and wasting time was an undesirable behavior.
She then looked over to Germaine Sparrow, who was holding a copper-green cross and metal vials and draped in a black trench coat, and said with a slight smile:
”Thank you for the effect you just had on our senses.
”Well, where should we go next?”
As a veteran “spectator”, it wasn’t hard for her to conclude the fact that she had just been helped by Mr. World by comparing the before and after.
Controlling the subconscious action of slightly frowning, Klein looked around and said:
”Doesn’t this collective subconscious ocean have a core area?”
”No.” Audrey shook her head seriously, “As long as there are living beings, there is a collective subconscious ocean, there is no such thing as who is nobler than who. This illusory ocean won’t really surge, the situation in different regions is mainly dependent on the surrounding environment, we call it the ‘precipitation effect’, to put it simply, the collective subconscious ocean within the Ruen country will be quite different from that of Intis, as it precipitates mainly the strong emotions and feelings of generations of Ruen people, and in turn, this also influences the populations of the two countries, giving them a different temperament or personality in a way ……”
After a little explanation, Audrey “Justice” gave her conclusion:
”If that’s the case, how can there be a recognized core area of the collective subconscious ocean?”
Klein nodded, thoughtfully asking a rhetorical question:
”Which means you can’t offer valid advice on where to go?”
”Mr. World” is so direct …… If there were another lady or gentleman with a weaker mind, he would be embarrassed right now, feeling hurt …… Audrey’s thoughts flickered and she Saw the “world” Germaine Sparrow’s pair of deep brown near black eyes, they are not crazy, not indifferent, calm and deep.
This …… Audrey instantly realized that Mr. “World” was deliberately making a similar performance, so that he could experience all the details of a common action, and accumulate more experience.
”Yes. ” she nodded matter-of-factly, not embarrassed at all.
Klein nodded darkly, then looked over at Leonard “Star”.
”Don’t look at me, my domain is in the dream world, not in this strange sea of collective subconsciousness.” Leonard immediately waved his palm.
He had been involved in countless more joint operations than Ms. “Justice”, and knew never to be a hero when he shouldn’t be.
”Then you guys follow me.” Klein withdrew his gaze, handed the “Cross of No Darkness”, which had been re-colored with a copper-green color, to the hand holding the metal vial, and took out a gold coin.
Clang!
When the gold coin tumbled, he grabbed it, then without looking at the result, he recognized the direction and took a step.
This is the way of divination …… Audrey a moment of dawning.
She looked at the “world” Germaine Sparrow serious and calm side face and wearing a black trench coat, wearing a silk bowler hat, holding a copper and green cross figure, inexplicably had a feeling that the other party like a missionary.
Leonard, for his part, recalled a past event with oil.
That was the first case he and Klein cooperation – looking for kidnapped children, at that time, also Klein with “divination” method to lead the way, he followed alongside.
Compared to the first raw, now he is skillful as if he has entered the mysterious world for more than ten years …… Hey, in fact, it is only the past one year or so …… Leonard hands in pockets, a little bit of emotion, followed closely behind Klein.
Audrey glanced at him, sensing the change in his mood.
”Mr. Star and Mr. World are more than just acquaintances in reality, they are probably still quite good friends, well, the kind who rarely see each other in the last year or two… …While Audrey made her judgment, she didn’t slow down her pace, and combined her knowledge with the details of her surroundings, to distinguish where the “vortex” and “dangerous creatures” might be lurking.
With her assistance, Klein was able to lead the way smoothly, and did not encounter the “Giant’s Shadow” like he did just now.
Sometimes going straight, sometimes turning corners, I don’t know how long it took, but the three of them saw a clear sky in front of them.
What appeared in front of them was a “deep sea pit”, and in the center of the pit was a city the size of an island.
The foundation of this city is grayish-white, on which a tens of hundreds of meters high magnificent stone pillars are erected, they either stand alone there, or together hold up a lofty ancient palace, the whole is both strange and magnificent, unlike ordinary creatures can build.
Audrey didn’t recognize the city, but a thought instantly popped into her head:
”City of Wonders, Levihide ……”
