Volume 7 The Inverted Hanged Man Chapter 53 “Life Preserving Spell”
Seeing Audrey’s willingness to try to investigate, Delrau nodded gently:
”Detailed information will be given to you afterward, but I must remind you one thing, this matter is quite dangerous, absolutely no carelessness.”
Speaking here, Delrau paused for a moment and said:
”If you encounter an accident and are unable to solve it by relying on yourself, you can try to name a name, which will allow you to be saved.”
”What name?” Audrey asked with a guess in her mind.
Delrau’s expression turned serious at once:
”It comes from the sacred scriptures of that Creator of the Third Age, and deals with the highest mysteries of the psychic realm, and is closely related to something in our Mental Alchemy Society.
”It is ‘Adam’.”
Adam …… Audrey was surprisingly not at all surprised, but she was still superficially puzzled, as if she didn’t know what the name actually stood for or meant.
Without explanation, Delrau turned and said:
”As a member of the Convocation, you are supposed to be in charge of a ‘1’ grade seal, but you and ‘Fury’ have only just stepped into the ranks, and it will take some time for you to be examined, moreover, the former member of the Bakerland region, the Hwyn Lambeth, lost a rather important seal, and we’re considering whether to change the use of the seal, changing it from reigning to claiming.
”That is to say, all the seals are kept in this mind city, and you do not normally possess them, but you can only use them for a short period of time if you encounter an event and make a request.”
The “greedy” lady in charge of St. Miron, the capital of Forsak, immediately shook her head:
”This method has a serious flaw, that is, we can’t deal with accidents. Whether it’s an enemy or a monster, once encountered, it’s impossible to give us the time to claim the seal.
”I think this current method is good enough, each person will hold a ‘1’ grade sealing item to use to cope with accidents, and wait until there is a need to claim another item.”
Delrau let out a laugh and said:
”It was indeed better this way before, but now, you guys don’t have to worry about it.
”As long as you guys still have a chance to fight back in the event of an accident, then you will be able to directly enter this mind city to hide from the enemy and claim the items in the meantime.
”If there is no chance, pronounce the name ‘Adam’ as I just said.”
You said “Adam” twice, that one is most likely already watching this place, no,k maybe from the very beginning …… Audrey’s heart almost beat a little faster when she heard it.
”And how are we supposed to get in here, without an invitation from you?” “Jealous” Mr. Jealous asked while nodding his head.
Delrau pointed to his face hole:
”As of this Convocation meeting, you may take the masks of your own personalities out of this city.
”Wherever you are, as long as there are at least two human beings around, well, other than yourselves, you will be able to enter the city by wearing the appropriate personality mask.
”And these seven personality masks themselves are illusory, closely linked to certain of your perceptions, and do not need to be kept in any special way. You can pull it out of the sea of collective subconsciousness that surrounds you whenever you wish.”
At this point, the gentleman wearing the “Overeating” mask, which gave him a sense of indulgence and indulgence, thought for a moment:
”Will taking the personality mask out of the city negatively affect our mental state and true personality?”
”There will be a bit of that to be aware of, but I think you are all experts in the field of the mind and are more than capable of addressing that aspect.” Delrau said frankly.
Audrey was a little worried that the seven personality masks were related to Adam, but didn’t dare to think so within this psychic city, forcing herself to collect her thoughts and respond to Delrau’s earlier words:
”I can accept both methods of keeping the ‘1’ level seals, and I will patiently wait for the end of the inspection period.”
”Miss, you’re not arrogant at all.” The “lazy” lady with a sleeping look commented with a smile.
After discussing the matter of the mind dragon in East Chester County, the remaining five members successively introduced things worth noting in their respective regions and exchanged information.
During this process, the “Overeating” gentleman who seemed to be ready to eat a cow and wear ten rings said:
”Recently, the Constanton region has not been calm enough, and a number of almost miraculous things have happened in a row:
”First, the reconstruction of Constanton City was completed overnight; second, the citizens of Beldan City lost their memories for a period of time at the same time; third, there is a powerful magician who takes pleasure in granting other people’s wishes wandering around the east coast of the Middle Sea called Merlin Hermes, and related to this, there is also an item called the ‘Fully Automated Wishing Machine’. Item.
”Aside from that, I also noticed something unusual – quite a few rats, cockroaches, and crows in the city of Constanton lost their minds, within a few days of the city’s miraculous recovery.”
”How were you able to perceive this?” Mr. “Lust” said to “Overeating” with a bottom-up gaze.
”Overeating” swallowed and said:
”I’ve been studying the minds of ordinary creatures lately, and rats, cockroaches, and crows have been my subjects.”
Several members of the panel immediately started a discussion on this research direction, and the meeting officially entered the third phase.
Their academic exchanges made Audrey gain a lot, listening quite attentively and sharing some of her own insights from time to time.
”Alright, this review panel meeting ends here.” After a while, Delrau lightly clapped his hands and said.
Audrey subconsciously was about to get up and lead the rest of the members in a salute to say goodbye, but quickly snapped out of it and continued to sit there for the penultimate time before standing up.
Before leaving, she asked with slight curiosity:
”Mr. Chairman, does this city have a name?”
”There is.” Delrau said with a smile, “Eden.”
Eden …… Audrey, seeing the rest of the Convocation members making their way to the door, asked again thoughtfully:
”There are a number of churches here, supposed to symbolize faith itself, uh, I wonder which being the ‘inhabitants’ of this place believe in?”
Delrau nodded and answered with a solemn expression:
”The all-knowing, all-powerful Creator.”
……
”The Garden of Eden.” …… The All-Knowing Creator …… It wasn’t Adam who made this up, I’ll write the name backwards! Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace, Klein looked at the crimson star that represented Miss “Justice” and muttered a few words to himself silently.
Moreover, the response of pronouncing the name “Adam” when encountering danger is almost undisguised.
–Ever since Ms. Justice entered the Garden of Eden, the Fortress of Source has provided a “true vision” of the world. Since Ms. Justice entered the Garden of Eden, the “true vision” provided by the “Source Castle” has been suppressed, and Klein can only use the other party’s point of view to observe the surrounding situation, just like the “Mystic Queen” Bernadette as a fixed shot on the primitive island before. In a way, this also explains the “Garden of Eden” this spiritual city’s position.
Klein then tapped on the edge of the mottled table and manifested a pen and paper, ready to write out the thoughts in his mind.
It was not that he was unable to analyze by pure thinking, but in the face of Adam’s existence, repeatedly scrutinizing and examining each detail was something that had to be done, so putting it down on paper and forming words would help him review it over and over again, checking for gaps:
”The basic premise: Adam has been promoted to Sequence 0 with the help of the previous Total War, becoming a True God and can now be referred to as an ‘Imagineer.
”Ms. ‘Justice’ happened to become a ‘manipulator’ of Sequence 4 some time after Hwyn Lambeth’s death, convincing others, not Adam.
”What is Adam trying to do? Arranging for a Sequence 4 saint doesn’t fit k, the ‘Imagineer’, unless, of course, k has other plans ……
”Is k’s real goal that mind dragon, or me behind Ms. ‘Justice’?
”One must be vigilant and not careless in this regard.
”Inside the Garden of Eden, the church where the Convocation of the Psycho-Alchemy Society is located is a bit like Adam’s Corpse Church, but only a bit like it; it only has varying numbers of cranial bones inlaid on the stone pillars on the outside, and the interior is not decorated accordingly, and it is a deep black color that is very shadowy. What did this signify?
”And what does that giant cross with the grayish-white dragon wrapped around it symbolize? A successful first step in the effort to resurrect the Creator?
”Uh, Adam is already a ‘pipe dreamer’ and if k’s father or the original Creator returns, the first to go down will definitely be k. Is k willing to sacrifice himself for this? Is that what paranoia means?
”That rabbit is suspected to be Hermes …… However, it doesn’t make sense that k, as an angel of the ‘viewer’ pathway, wouldn’t be able to undo Ms. Messenger’s curse of metamorphosis for so long, especially since there’s a bit above k that the ‘ Empath’ who could help …… Hmm, Hermes on purpose?
”By the way, Delrau, the head of the Psycho-Alchemy Society, said that for the ‘spectator’ death only means the end of an identity, and that he can participate in other dramas elsewhere and in other capacities ……
”Is it possible to consider that the ‘spectator’ pathway to Sequence 3, or Sequence 2, allows him to detach some of the identities he once possessed, making them ‘living beings’ which, even if they die, do not lead to the fall of the original body? It wouldn’t cause the body to fall?
”This does look like a precursor to ‘Empath’ ……
”Well, Hermes separated the rabbit he turned into after being cursed as an identity to be directly involved in the Psycho-Alchemy Society?k What exactly is he trying to do? When the Dusk Hermit Society was communicating internally, k was sitting next to the Archon ……”
After he finished writing, Klein put down his pen and carefully read the paper a few times, his mind full of mysteries.
In the end, he could only decide to observe a little more, with a wary mind.
By this time, Audrey “Justice” had already taken the carriage she came in and drove out of the “Garden of Eden” and returned to the park with the artificial lake in Queens.
She didn’t rush to pray to Mr. Fool, hoping for a better way to seal the “Pride” mask, she returned to her luxury villa as if nothing had happened.
