The Undead Chapter 73 – The Rendezvous
”Inside the building that housed the Foundation for the Collection and Preservation of Ruin Antiquities, a seething Audrey blinked, watching her small expressions and body movements, half-heartedly drew a scarlet moon on her chest, and sighed:
”It’s a tragedy, may their spirits rest in peace.”
The reason why she had just guessed that the archaeological team’s people were members of the Psycho-Alchemy Society was because she had once been tasked with helping this organization get a twenty-year war-era notebook from Associate Professor Michelle that belonged to Lindrilla, a knight from the past of the village of Hedlak.
At that time, Audrey turned to Mr. “Fool” and relied on “Magic Mirror Divination” to confirm the origin of the notebook, and found that it was closely related to the village that worships dragons, because she knew beforehand that there was a psychic dragon that could hide in the sea of the collective subconscious, so she considered the lack of her own sequence and strength. the inadequacy of her own sequence and strength, she ultimately chose to turn the note over to the Psychic Alchemy Society.
In other words, there was a not-so-small possibility that the Psychological Alchemy Society, a secretive organization, would lock onto the Hedlak village through that notebook and head there to look for the target thing.
There was another basis for Audrey to make this judgment, and that was the strange mental illness suffered by the members of the archaeological team, which could spread like a plague, making the surrounding crowd go crazy one after another.
In the realm of reality, mental illnesses have the probability of being inherited, but it is almost impossible to infect others, but in the field of occultism, in the world of spirit and consciousness, chaotic and crazy spirits can indeed infect their targets by means of similar psychic, dreaming, and subconscious influence!
And there lurks in the village of Hedlak a psychic dragon that has lived for an unknown number of years!
Psychological Alchemy Association through the notes to find the village of Hedlak, was threatened by the mind of the dragon with clever ways to contaminate the spirit of the successive?k may be through the collective subconscious sea to complete this thing …… transcendental world is really dangerous ah, such a ‘squad ‘, several selected extraordinary people, just like this in an absurd way, very simple to end their own lives …… Audrey thought while thankful that she had made a sensible enough choice in the first place, did not capriciously take that knight’s notebook and go to Hedlak village to explore, otherwise, the Otherwise, she would have been added to the list of people who had gone insane.
Thanks to Mr. Fool, the members of the Tarot Club, and Zillinger, who infiltrated in disguise, I have little practical experience in the occult field, but I am still aware that there are too many dangers lurking here, and that I must be cautious and careful ……. Audrey silently made a thank you.
At this moment, when she thought back to how she had behaved when she first joined the Tarot Society, she could not wait to bury her face into the pillow and screamed to herself in her heart:
”Audrey, how could you be so naive and childish in the beginning!
”It was only when you met Mr. ‘Fool’ that you became a madman or a monster, if it had been any other hidden being!
”Mr. ‘Fool’ is a good man! No, a very good and righteous god!”
Next to him, Associate Professor Michelle nodded heavily when she saw Miss Audrey’s long silence:
”Yes, it is a frightening tragedy.
”I just hope that the government has taken care of this matter and not let that contagious mental illness turn into a plague.”
Don’t worry, unless that mind dragon is out of control and intends to challenge the three major churches, there won’t be any more infected people with that mental illness …… Audrey responded wordlessly.
In her opinion, the official extraordinary people should have already taken over this matter, after all, mental illnesses with contagiousness would naturally be handed over.
Therefore, the dragon coat of arms inside the glass display case must have been donated to the foundation after they had already confirmed that there was no problem, and the police department did not have this authority!
While Audrey felt strong sympathy for the dead archaeological team of suspected members of the Psycho-Alchemy Society, as if she had experienced the tragedy herself, she was curious if the psychic gargoyle was still in Hedlak and the surrounding countryside.
Hiding as an entity in the sea of the collective subconsciousness of living beings should be difficult to detect and find …… However, all three major churches have long histories, and in the Quaternary Age, or even earlier, must have crossed paths with the mind dragon, and perhaps there are corresponding records that have been passed down… …Moreover, the Mental Alchemy Society holds the “Audience” pathway, and with the existence of the High Sequence, their knowledge of the collective subconscious sea can’t be much worse than that Mind Dragon’s, and after their initial quest failed miserably due to insufficient information, the team they sent in will definitely be very powerful… …Well, that mind dragon, although stronger than the Psycho-Alchemy Society expected, wouldn’t have stayed where it was and waited for others to find it, it should have already left …… Audrey made a speculation with the situation she had.
She didn’t have the idea of going to Hedlak’s village to explore the truth, because she had long known that her current strength was not enough to deal with that mind dragon.
Her only plan at the moment was to mention this matter at next week’s Tarot meeting and see if other members could feed back enough valuable knowledge, such as whether it was because there was a custom of worshipping dragons in this place that the mind dragon could directly enter the collective subconscious sea to live, or whether the mind dragon lived in the collective subconscious sea here and the surrounding populace would dream about it from time to time and be subconsciously affected accordingly, and thus The custom of worshipping the dragon appeared.
……
Friday afternoon, Klein took the list of guests who had accepted invitations to tomorrow night’s ball and carefully memorized what topics to talk about with the different guests.
”When you run into Senator Macht, you have to praise the recent air in Berkland, and when you exchange pleasantries with Professor Portland Mormont, you can make a few jokes related to the Royal Academy of Science ……” Klein was memorizing one by one when the sound of illusory cascading supplications suddenly rang in his ears.
A male …… counting the time, most likely “upside down man” Mr. …… Klein thoughtfully put down the paper in his hands, grunted a sip of black tea, got up and left the large balcony of the semi-open room, back to the master bedroom. He got up and left the half-open room with the large balcony and went back to the master bedroom’s bathroom.
He took four steps backward into the gray mist, and found that the prayers were being offered by none other than “The Hanged Man”.
This gentleman asked the great “Fool” to tell the “World” that he had arrived in Bayam, the capital of the Rothschild Islands, the “City of Generosity”, and that in two days’ time, when he had replenished his supplies, he would be able to travel to that primitive island. Two days more, he had replenished his supplies, and then he could go to the primitive island.
He told the World to prepare in advance, so as not to be late for the rendezvous, and said that if the other party did not have a good way to get to the primitive island, he could arrange for the World to secretly take the “Blue Avenger”. “The Blue Avenger.
Riding on the “Blue Avenger” and taking a group of Storm Church sailors to the primitive island? How long will the blood narcotic gas bought from Emlyn last? Is there enough time to explore? Klein thought for a moment and materialized the “world” Germaine Sparrow, asking him to pray devoutly:
”…… don’t need to go to so much trouble.
”You should be free to move about in Bayam, and I’ll see you tonight at 12:00 in the cemetery outside the city.
”Until then, replenish your supplies.”
……
Byam, inside an inn.
Alger listened to the words of Germaine Sparrow, “The World”, with a slight frown.
In the “City of Generosity”, he could indeed move freely, because the sailors were all eager to go to the “Red Theater” and other places, and would definitely not come back tonight, and in the daytime, after they woke up from their sleep, they would inevitably have to go to gamble a few times to indulge themselves, in order to release the depression and bitterness of the long period of time adrift on the sea. The sea of repression and bitterness.
In other words, even if Alger disappeared for a night and a day, he would not be discovered.
…… “World” means to take advantage of this gap? This is indeed better than using blood anesthesia gas, this method has been used twice, there may already be someone who has suspicions and is waiting for verification …… But without a boat, how to go to that primitive island …… Er, “Lemanor’s Travel Notes”? “Lemanor’s Travel Notes”? Ms. Magician mentioned that the extraordinary ability of “teleportation” was recorded in it, but there was only one page, which was definitely not enough for a round trip. …… Algernon relied on his strong ability of association and vaguely guessed that the “world” was a “world”, but it was not a world. Guessed the “world” Germaine Sparrow want to do, but also think that it lacks the necessary conditions.
With this in mind, he approached his Resistance contact and replenished a batch of Storm Realm spells made of white pewter.
When it was eleven o’clock at night, Alger quietly left the inn and made his way along the shadows of the streets to the outskirts of the city.
He wasn’t worried about the sailors coming back and finding him gone, because he too had physical needs, and could have slept in the bed of one of the girls in the Red Theater and couldn’t come back, and there were many other brothels like this in Byam, and there were quite a few street girls, so it wasn’t a matter of confirming that there was no one in the Red Theater, it was a matter of confirming that there was no one in the Red Theater. Not that confirming that the “Red Theater” is empty is enough to know that something is wrong with him.
Out of Bayam, Alger walked on the narrow road that could not pass the carriage, halfway to the seaside mountains.
Suddenly, his gaze faltered and he realized something was wrong.
Under the scarlet moonlight, a mountain peak that should have existed was missing!
And correspondingly below, rocks piled up, grass and trees were missing, and the terrain was nearly completely changed!
This …… Alger had previously come from the Resistance’s private harbor and had no chance to pay attention to the peaks on this side, so he didn t notice the abnormality until this moment!
The mountain peak collapsed? It actually collapsed? By the way, there was indeed a newspaper that mentioned that Byam was hit by a shallow earthquake, with the power concentrated in the mountains outside the city …… Also, the deacon of the church said that Germaine Sparrow almost destroyed Byam, and that there were demigods involved in that incident …… The timing of the two is very are very close …… Could it be, could it be that Gelman Sparrow caused this? He caused a demigod level battle, but he managed to escape and killed the “Blood General” in the process? Alger’s pupils dilated, his steps slowed down, and he paused.
He suddenly understood why the Storm Church valued Germaine Sparrow so much, and why they had issued a reward of up to 50,000 pounds!
Inside the cemetery that hadn’t suffered much damage in front of him, a chilly wind blew out, surging towards Alger in the silent darkness of the night, causing him to involuntarily have some shivers.
Just then, Alger’s heart stirred, turning his head sideways and looking behind him.
A silhouette flew outlined in the shadowy surroundings beneath a giant tree.
This silhouette pressed his hand on the top of his bowler hat and slowly raised his head, revealing a thin face, a deep silhouette, and dark brown eyes that didn’t contain any emotion, which was none other than Germaine Sparrow.
