Part 5 The Red Priestess Chapter 103 – The Spectator’s Intuition
How can this be …… Hugh and Forsyth even if there is no delay along the way, maintaining a faster speed, it will still take at least a quarter of an hour to arrive at the nearest church of the night …… Fortunately, I am still quite cautious, and prayed in advance for “Mr. Fool” to give angelic blessings. Mr. “Fool” gave an angelic blessing in advance, and just now also really hypnotized Hugh and Forsyth …… Audrey’s mind instantly rose and fell, and was quickly suppressed by her.
Her eyes were first confused, and then showed a dazed color, as if she had finally awakened from a long dream and remembered all the things that had been forgotten and ignored earlier.
”Mr. Lambeth, why are you here ……,” Audrey let her voice drift slightly, as if she was still somewhat indulging in a daze.
As she spoke, she utilized her “psychiatrist” control of her emotions to allow an unavoidable bit of anxiety to flash by like a normal thought, without causing the slightest change.
This unexpected change left her wondering how to proceed.
She realized, no doubt, that she must first cope with the next inquiries of Hwyn Lambeth, without letting the demi-god entertain the slightest suspicion, but if that were all, the other would be gone in perhaps three or five minutes, and Hugh and Forsyth would surely not yet have entered the Church of Darkness, and would not have accomplished the misdirection, and then the forcible ignition of the hood, and the invocation of “the world,” would easily bring the matter to a close. , it would be easy to flaw the closing of things and not really solve the hidden problem.
No, I’d rather miss it, but I can’t push the plan forward without proper preparation. …… Patience, endurance, and caution are the key words of the Mysterious World. …… At least Hwyn Lambeth will only use me for a long time, and won’t directly harm me, even if he wants me to marry the prince. and his Royal Highness to get married, this whole process will take more than half a year, I still have enough time to wait for the second, third, or even the fourth or fifth chance …… The only problem is that Hugh and Forsyth need to be notified, so that they can really hide as soon as possible …… Audrey made a quick decision as her eyes returned to normal, slightly revealing emotions of caution and fear.
Observing her reaction and hearing her question, Hwyn Lambeth smiled and said:
”This should be your first time to truly hypnotize someone, I was worried that there would be an accident, so I purposely came to the scene and waited, huh, with your origin, there are indeed very few chances to use this aspect of your ability in normal times ……”
His voice is soft and contains concern, unknowingly letting the vigilance and fear in Audrey’s eyes melt a little bit.
In Audrey’s mind world, she once again had the feeling of consciousness split, partially elevated, looking down on the “island” and “sea”.
This made her realize clearly that the good and safe feeling she just had was the result of being guided.
Seeing that Audrey’s state had returned to normal, Hwyn Lambeth gently nodded and said:
”How did they answer your question just now?”
Audrey said frankly:
”Hugh said that the investigation of Viscount Stretford, the pursuit of the king’s secrets all stemmed from her own will, and that she was suspicious of the cause of her father’s death back then, who was the former head of the palace guards, the Earl of Meissen-Dill ……
”However, she did mention that her actions were blessed by a certain being.”
In the course of her reply, Audrey’s words nearly came to a halt as the “she” who was beneath the spiritual sky, looking down on the islands of consciousness and the sea of the mind, saw a silhouette climbing rapidly from the bottom of the sea, along the manifested ladder, penetrating the realm of the subconscious, and ascending to the island of her “mental body”. The island of her “mind body”.
The figure wore a black three-piece suit and had a head full of silver hair, just like another Hwyn Lambeth.
This Herwin Rambis face did not have a smile, the temperament is extremely gloomy, part of the skin is covered with grayish-white scales, the eyes not only from light blue to golden, but also erect, as if some kind of animal.
If she hadn’t had a similar experience before, at this unusually tense moment, Audrey might not have been able to pretend that she hadn’t noticed anything, and keep her words from interrupting and stuttering.
The real-world Hwyn Lambeth looked at Audrey’s pure and beautiful face with a smile and further asked:
”Which being’s blessing?”
Audrey shook her head, and a corresponding change in the islands of consciousness followed:
”As soon as this matter was mentioned, Hugh and Forsyth were very resistant, showing signs of getting rid of the hypnosis, so I didn’t dare to pursue the matter.”
Of course, the blessing of a certain being could be interpreted as either the attention of Mr. Fool or the watchful eye of a goddess……. Audrey, the one who remained conscious under the spiritual sky, mumbled silently.
Hwyn Lambeth continued to ask about the details of the hypnosis.
After two or three minutes, he nodded his head in satisfaction:
”Not bad, you do have enough talent for hypnosis, when the recent events are over, I will give you the magic potion of ‘Dreamwalker’ and personally perform the ceremony for you.
”Well, don’t be too repulsed by love and marriage, you’re not even twenty yet, it’s the right time to pursue this aspect of things, you’re charming enough to be liked by everyone, you can enjoy their gazes and curry favor as much as you want ……”
Hwyn Lambeth used the method of side hints and guidance to make Audrey lower her resistance to love to marriage a little bit.
This hateful guy …… Audrey under the spiritual sky puffed up her cheeks, muttered indignantly, and manipulated her island of consciousness self to reveal some petulance and yearning.
Hwyn Lambeth, following the theory of gradual progress and not thinking of succeeding all at once, saw to it that he withdrew the consciousness that had invaded the other’s mental body, and allowed his illusory self to detach itself from that island.
He himself turned and said:
”Forget the words I have just spoken; they are thoughts that have arisen spontaneously within you.
”Wait until I leave this place and my back disappears from your sight, and you will forget that I came.”
Hearing these words, Audrey under the spiritual sky couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in secret, because it meant that Hwyn Lambeth was about to leave.
Although only about five minutes had passed since the other party’s appearance, which was not enough for Hugh and Forsyth to enter the nearest dark church, Audrey still desperately hoped that Hwyn Lambeth would leave as soon as possible – the pressure of staying with such a demigod of the “audience” realm was unimaginable. The pressure of staying with such a demigod in the realm of “spectators” was unimaginable.
There is still a chance after that, as long as you still retain your consciousness, there is still a chance, Audrey, don’t be frustrated, don’t be impatient …… Audrey silently consoled herself in her heart and watched as Hwyn Lambeth turned around and walked towards the hall.
She did not slacken, did not exhale, and tried to maintain her normal state.
Suddenly, Hwyn Lambeth stopped and turned back to Audrey, her light blue eyes narrowing slightly:
”When you first saw me, why were you that scared?”
…… me, I was so surprised at that time that I had some emotions that I couldn’t hide? Audrey only felt her scalp under her long blonde hair tingling slightly, her thoughts spinning rapidly, and she asked back on the surface filled with disbelief:
”Yes?
”Isn’t it normal, a brief shock is inevitable when someone suddenly appears next to you.”
Hwyn Lambeth nodded his head, seemingly agreeing with this explanation, as he sized up Audrey for a couple of moments before suddenly speaking again:
”You always carried a trinket-type magical item that could change shape with you before, why aren’t you wearing it today?”
To a spectator, this was a somewhat counterintuitive detail.
Oh no…… I’ve been hiding my “lies” under my clothes most of the time, so how could he realize that this was the only time he didn’t…… he secretly read some of my memories, and in order to act normal didn’t have a Protected Memories …… Audrey’s thoughts froze in the face of Hwyn Lambeth’s question.
The reason she didn’t wear the “lie” was simple: she was afraid that the jewelry would amplify her emotions, making it impossible to completely hide her true thoughts when facing a demigod in the “audience” path.
And that meant that she had foreseen an encounter with Hwyn Lambeth today, something that should not and could not have happened under normal circumstances!
Instantly, Audrey caught an inspiration and laughed blankly:
”It will amplify my emotions and lower the probability of success of hypnosis, just now, in order not to have any accidents, I removed it in advance.”
Hwyn Lambeth nodded gently:
”So it’s like this ……”
Just as Audrey’s mind relaxed slightly, this demigod of the “audience” pathway suddenly narrowed his eyes:
”If this is the only thing, there’s really no need to be skeptical, however, when combined with the fear that slightly exceeded the limits when you first saw me, it doesn’t seem so simple ……”
As he spoke, Hwyn Lambeth’s pale blue eyes stood up and flew tinted with a gold-like color.
Within those two golden vertical pupils, the image of Audrey in a knight’s uniform was clearly reflected.
With a buzzing sound, Audrey’s thoughts became extremely confused, only the “she” under the spiritual sky was still barely awake.
On the surface of the spiritual sea around her island of consciousness, waves surged up and covered her.
At the same time, the shadowy, illusory Hwyn Lambeth returned, revisited the island, and stayed partially under the water, sending pieces of grayish-white dragon scales flying into the island’s bedrock, the vast subconscious realm of the human race.
Audrey felt a twinge in her thoughts and wanted to open her mouth and say everything, confess all her secrets.
Relying on the sobriety of the “she” under the spiritual sky, she barely controlled herself from revealing any hidden information, and knowing that this would definitely go wrong, she busied herself with gathering a small number of thoughts, relying on the blessing of the angels and the split consciousness not to let Hwyn Lambeth notice.
This handful of thoughts included a probing palm reaching into his left coat pocket.
It was at this time that Hwyn Lambeth, who had invaded the world of the mind, grew more and more gloomy and said with a cold snort:
”There really is a problem!”
If there wasn’t a problem, Audrey would have told all her secrets and privacy one by one right now, starting with the most important ones, instead of remaining silent!
Again, because this manipulation was so quick, Audrey wouldn’t have had time to organize all her secrets, and even if she had tried to hide something, she would have been found out if she was still conscious as soon as she opened her mouth.
Confirming the anomaly Hwyn Lambeth no longer hesitated, his eyes became extremely cold and the surface of his skin was covered with grayish scales.
The storm on the sea of the mind was suddenly intense, and Audrey under the spiritual sky shook.
The final defense of her consciousness domain was rapidly weakened under the wave after wave of impact, and was about to shatter.
”Hmph!” Hwyn Lambeth once again increased the strength of his mind storm, satisfied to feel Audrey’s entire island of consciousness appearing to shake.
This meant that he was about to completely manipulate the other party!
Just at this time, an ancient and awkward word rang in his ears:
”Destiny!”
The real-world Hwyn Lambeth looked up in dismay, only to see Audrey’s turquoise eyes tinted with the brightest and most fascinating golden color.
