Volume 7 The Inverted Man Chapter 50 A Strange City
Accumulating a little more, it won’t take long to answer Moon City’s prayers and cure their deformities, creating a not so small miracle. …… In addition, the initial summary of the “miracle worker” code of conduct has also been summarized, and if we continue step by step, it’s only a matter of time before we can digest it. The problem, this year may be able to succeed …… Klein retracted his eyes from the window, raised his left arm, manipulating the monster doll on his hand, teasing the opposite side of the child.
It made him look more like a wandering magician now.
If he wanted to, he could even use the “Life Cane” or “Grafting” ability to give the hand puppet certain living characteristics.
While teasing the child, Klein’s thoughts spread out, considering where to “build” the city of secret puppets needed for the promotion ceremony:
”If the secret city is to be born in the spirit world, it needs to have enough interaction, which means that placing it in the Godforsaken Land won’t work, not to mention the fact that it’s sealed and can’t be directly connected to the spirit world, so it can only be used with the help of a little bit of specialization, and even if there’s no problem, it’s still hard to have enough interaction with the lack of intelligent life… …
”Placing it on the North and South continents or in a maritime colony needs to be done with enough care, and it must never be revealed that this is a Secret Puppet City until the ceremony is close to success, or it will inevitably be interfered with, destroyed, or even attacked by enemies such as Charatu and Amon ……
”Well, the secret puppet city must be given a sufficient reason for its appearance and not be the least bit unusual in its interactions with the incoming and outgoing merchants, and the humans around it, so that each secret puppet is a living, breathing human being with its own past, present, and future, and all following a destiny trajectory of its own ……
”This means that the Secret Puppet City will be highly complex, requiring the differentiation of many, many ‘Spirit Worms’ to do the processing, which also lurks the risk of getting out of control ……
”Those who are couples will have to act like couples, those who love alternative will have to show preference, and those who are perverts will have to be hated …… In this way, perhaps outsiders will hear shameful voices when they stay in the secret puppet city ……
”I’m just a kid ……
”This is a big reality show, or an advanced version of ‘over the top’, the kind that has to be able to fool the audience ……”
Klein mentally spat as he silently calculated whether he had enough secret puppets.
He had traveled back and forth to the Godforsaken Land several times before, transformed a large number and variety of monsters that might not necessarily have extraordinary characteristics, and had consciously, in the usual manner, controlled a number of rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies in batches, making sure to make the other side of the secret puppet city real enough.
My current accumulation can barely support a small city, and a few more trips to the Godforsaken Land should be enough …… Klein had just flashed such a thought when a scene suddenly surfaced in front of his eyes:
Bathed in the light of dusk at the top of the “Giant’s Court”, the open door closed heavily and slowly.
This is like a pair of invisible hands are closing the entrance to the Godforsaken land.
This …… Klein’s eyes sank slightly, vaguely guessing that this scene meant that the “true Creator” was about to re-blockade the land of God’s abandonment.
This is his angelic level spiritual intuition and sense of danger brought prophetic ability:
In a few minutes or seconds, something like that would happen.
”Has the Real Creator captured Amon or has he given up? Or has he given up? He’s re-blocked the Abandoned Lands because he doesn’t want anyone else to go back in? Would that be too petty? Kraven mentally grumbled a few times, a little disappointed for a moment.
Of course, he barely had enough secret puppets, and even if there were still missing parts, he could go to the sea to make up for it.
……
Bakerland, Queens.
Audrey had just changed her clothes, dismissed her many maids, and was ready to go out when she saw Susie, the big blonde dog, walk in.
”Can I help you? You’re supposed to be on a walk at this hour?” As a veteran “viewer”, Audrey immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Within this period of time, she had been busy utilizing the several foundations she could exert influence on to help workers, farmers, and disabled veterans who were having difficulties in their lives, so that they could wait until a new job opportunity came or the new season’s fields yielded some output, and her interaction with Suzy was much less than usual.
At the same time, Audrey was secretly guiding some people who themselves wished to do that to reorganize the various workers’ associations in Berkland, trying to bring together the power of the workers at the bottom.
All of her previous experiences had made her realize that hoping on the goodness of those at the top was unreliable and unsustainable, and that individuals alone were so small and defenseless in front of the government, the nobility, and the big businessmen that the only way to create some sort of balance was to rouse a larger amount of the population and get everyone to join together.
–The Kingdom of Rune had workers’ associations for different industries a long time ago, but the upper echelons of these associations were very easy to be bought off, and in turn became an effective weapon against ordinary workers.
Susie glanced at Audrey with a fairly normal expression, but her mouth seemed to be out of control, shaking the air and letting out a low male voice:
”Ms. Audrey, I am Eric Drake, the president of the Psycho-Alchemy Society, and I wish to meet with you to discuss your becoming a member of the Psycho-Alchemy Society’s Convocation Group, and I am in the park nearby.”
With those words, Susie let out a long sigh of relief and resumed her original voice:
”Audrey, there’s a weird guy looking for you, I, I can’t remember what he looks like, he, he put what he wanted to say directly inside my mind island!”
Audrey’s pupils dilated slightly, and then returned to normal as she nodded in a seemingly calm manner on the surface:
”Which part of the park is he in?”
As she spoke, Audrey had quietly virtualized a personality that entered Susie’s mind island through the collective subconscious sea, checking if there was still a distortion of consciousness or cognition from the outside world lurking there.
”I, don’t remember …… I was taking a walk.” Susie said as she recalled.
Then, with a small wag of her tail she said:
”I don’t think you should go, it’s dangerous.”
After confirming through her “virtual personality” that Susie had no other hidden dangers, Audrey exhaled imperceptibly and said:
”If you don’t go, you will be even more suspected, and then the danger will be just as inevitable, and it will even spread to the other people in this house.”
Moreover, this is also an opportunity, as Mr. “upside down man” said, since the end will eventually come, all the efforts and attempts that do not bring disaster are meaningful …… Audrey added in her mind, then turned to say:
”I will protect myself.
”Susie, did anything else just happen to you?”
Susie said with a “woof”:
”Nope.
”Audrey, are you really going?”
”Uh-huh.” Audrey gave a definite answer.
”Then you can take me with you? Like before, I’m just a dog to them.” Suzie said with courage.
”No, no need, I’ll be back soon, trust me, I’ll be blessed by the gods.” Audrey responded with a light smile.
Soothing Suzy, she utilized the ability of “Psychological Stealth” and left the luxurious villa step by step as if she was going out normally.
When she was far away from here, in the corner of the first floor, a certain servant who was cleaning suddenly lowered his head and spat out a single word that he had never learned in a very small voice:
”Fools who do not belong to this era ……”
……
Above the gray mist, inside the ancient palace.
The figure sitting in the “Fool’s” seat naturally examined the newly formed prayer point of light, and realized that the “believer” was very unfamiliar.
”It’s consistent with the environment of Ms. ‘Justice’s’ home. …… It’s suspected to be guided by the ‘virtual personality’ that has invaded the Mind Island! …… Miss ‘Justice’ is avoiding surveillance in this way, praying for blessings ……” The figure quickly made a judgment, and then transferred the corresponding situation to the main body. forwarded to the main body.
A few seconds later, Klein entered the “Source Castle” and let one of the “Spirit Worms” left here drill back into his body.
”Ms. ‘Justice’ is getting more and more like a high sequence ‘viewer’……” Klein secretly praised, and turned his Her eyes went to the crimson star that represented “Justice”.
……
The park with the lake.
Audrey had just entered the park when she saw a large horse-drawn carriage approaching, driven by an ordinary middle-aged man wearing an old bowler hat and a dark-colored jacket.
However, in Audrey’s eyes, the carriage driver didn’t exist at all, as he had no corresponding psychic island or conscious activity.
In other words, the coachman was just a phantom, a dummy, and the dominator of the carriage was the horses themselves.
A few seconds later, the large carriage stopped in front of Audrey and the compartment door creaked open.
”Come in.” A low male voice came from inside.
Audrey lifted her skirt slightly and boarded the carriage, seeing a gentleman in a black wheelchair.
His pale yellow eyebrows were long, his hair was neatly combed back, his forehead was slightly wrinkled, and his face took on an unnatural, tragic whiteness.
”Mr. Delrau? Are you not dead?” Audrey recognized the gentleman in front of her and appropriately showed her surprise.
”To an ‘audience member’, death only represents the end of an identity; in other plays, I remain alive.” The old-school gentleman in the black wheelchair responded with a smile, “In addition to my status as a former medical advisor to the royal family and former president of the Beckland Medical School, I’m also the ‘King of the Black Throne’ of the Great Sea, Barrows Hopkins, the famous recluse Eric Drake, and so on and so forth. ”
”And what shall I call you?” Audrey asked in a cultured manner as she watched out of the corner of her eye as the car door closed automatically.
The old-school gentleman rubbed the wheels on either side of the seat and said:
”You may address me as Mr. President, or you may continue to call me Mr. Delrow.”
He then pointed to the row of seats on the left side of the carriage:
”Have a seat, we’ll go somewhere before we discuss your becoming a member of the Convocation of the Psycho-Alchemical Society.”
Audrey nodded gently and calmly sat down.
Without hiding it at all, she cast her gaze out the window, slightly startled to realize that in just the blink of an eye, the park had been transformed into a strange city, shrouded in the colors of night.
An ornate building with a very mysterious and dark feel loomed over the city, and walking around were gentlemen in bowler hats and trench coats and women in elaborate and somber dresses.
Audrey swept her eyes and saw a gentleman beside the carriage with short black hairs on his face and sharp canine teeth coming out of his mouth.
It was a werewolf.
