Going home
After leaving Luxury Villa, which originally belonged to him and is now inhabited by Lumian and others, "Justice" Lady paused for two seconds and said to Susie beside him, "Let's go home."
"Go home?" Susie's tone suddenly seemed dazed.
"Yes, back to Backlund." "Justice" Lady smiled, with bright green eyes, full of longing and expectation, as if he had returned to his girlhood.
Susie completely understood what Audrey meant, and a nostalgic expression appeared on the dog's face:
"Okay."
Over the years, she and Audrey have not returned to Backlund. After Crimson Moon arrived, they have been waiting there for a long time to protect Hall Family secretly. But this time, what Audrey wants to do is to truly return to the family, to return to the side of his parents and other relatives.
The figure of "Justice" Audrey quickly became illusory, carrying Susie who had become "Marionettist" through the Collective Subconscious Sea.
Her voice with obvious emotion remained in place, gradually dissipating in the wind:
"The prelude to the final battle is about to sound. If I don't go home, I will have no chance. I don't want to meet the real Apocalypse with regrets..."
Kingdom of Loen, Backlund.
"Justice" Audrey and Susie walked out of the Collective Subconscious Sea and entered a street very close to Queen's District.
They were not in a hurry to go home and strolled along the street as if they were enjoying their daily lives.
No one paid attention to them, and no one noticed that Count Hall's daughter was wandering among the crowd without Maid and her bodyguards, looking here and there.
At this time, well-dressed gentlemen wearing silk hats and Lady ladies holding parasols were going in and out of department stores, high-end Café, Opera House and other places. Two-seater or four-seater carriages passed by in a hurry. There was a small Circus performing next to the fountain in the middle of the street. Many children gathered around. In the distance, a mechanical four-wheeler with white Steam was driving away, making the tremor of the road gradually go away...
"Justice"Audrey watched this scene intently without hiding his nostalgia.
Suddenly, she realized something and turned her attention to the man and woman who were about to have sex with Four-Wheeled, Four-Seater Carriage.
The former is wearing a black formal suit, and the latter is wearing a tulle low-hanging yellow Long Dress with fresh makeup.
Just when "Justice" Audrey looked at Past, the two people suddenly froze on the spot.
Brown or green plants grew crazily from the corners of their eyes, nostrils, mouths, ear holes and multiple pores, including branches and Vines.
Their eyes, which quickly turned scarlet, looked at Coachman and the surrounding pedestrians with strong malice.
They "felt" they should wait a little longer until they were in a better condition before launching an attack.
But their Change was not ignored by Coachman and others. The frightened shouts pierced the peace and excitement and echoed throughout the street.
Passers-by tried their best to flee the scene, but in just a few seconds, the area around the man and woman became empty.
Their madness was then detonated, and with a bang, balls of flesh and blood mixed with Green Plants and Crimson Moonlight were thrown out.
Soon, a team of "Nighthawks" wearing dark Holy Emblem rushed over.
They quickly dealt with the numbing flesh, blood and remains.
Passers-by who were running suddenly slowed down, chatting and laughing with their companions again, or turning to Café next to them and ordering a cup of coffee with dessert, leisurely and comfortable.
Coachman also returned to his carriage, looking into the distance, waiting for his guests.
They all ignored "Nighthawks"'s actions to clean up the scene, and they didn't even look over there.
They seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and returned to their daily lives.
"Justice" Audrey stopped and watched for a while, sighed, and continued walking towards Queen's District.
Not long after, she took Susie into the Collective Subconscious Sea again and walked out of a corner of her bedroom that she had not set foot in for many years.
In the room, another Audrey wearing green and white Long Dress is sitting in front of the dressing table, wearing small pearl earrings on herself.
She turned sideways, looked at "Justice" Audrey, and said in surprise, "You are finally back!"
She immediately asked in a confirming tone, "Have you become Angel?"
"Justice" Audrey smiled and nodded, "Yes, it took a long time to prepare Ritual, and it was not completed until three months ago."
"Spectator"Pathway Sequence 2"Observer"'s promotion to Ritual requires going deep into the subconscious of at least 10,000 humans, figuring out the corresponding person's most real fears, most instinctive desires and the roots of all psychological problems, and then leaving his own mark.
This is not only cumbersome, but also dangerous, because everyone has Divinity, is being eroded and affected by the Collective Subconscious Sea, and has inherited the most profound cognitions and impressions of ancient humans, so that the subconscious Depths all have chaotic, crazy, and primitive sides. If you want to gain insight into these, you must enter in person. If you are not careful or have an accident, you will suffer from Corruption, mental disorder, or even Loss of Control.
In this Ritual, the quantity requirement can be reduced with the High Sequence Beyonder, but this means a greater risk - if you go deep into the subconscious of "Magician" Lady, you are likely to encounter the legacy of Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth The remaining shadow of Mental Brand or Past, if he targets Lumian, he alone can meet the needs of Ritual, but in the process of insight, he will inevitably face the most original and crazy spirit, and face the figure of Original Creator or "Primordial Witch God".
"Isn't that dangerous?" Audrey, who was wearing pearl earrings, asked curiously.
She is in her twenties, and her behavior and temperament have become mature, but she still retains a little girlish innocence in her speech.
"Justice" Audrey smiled and said, "It is indeed dangerous. In the process of preparing Ritual, I have seen the most Vile Humanity. The craziest desires, the most chaotic cognitions, the noblest personalities, the most beautiful emotions and the loftiest ideals. Sometimes, a contradictory pair actually exists in a person's subconscious at the same time Depths."
"Humanity is complicated." Audrey nodded in agreement.
She observed "Justice" Audrey for a few seconds, and asked with a sigh and emotion, "You have been to many places in these years, right?"
"Justice" Audrey said with a gentle smile, "I lived in East Borough for one year and in Trier I have lived in the south of Botanical Garden District for one year, in the Southern Continent for one year, and in the big cities of Coast of the Sea of Mist for nearly two years. It is a country of steel and Steam. There are buildings like steel. The big trees made of iron are very close to each other, and the "branches" are connected. Each piece of "bark" and each "leaf" is a room, inhabited by a family, a family of workers. Only a few "leaves" and "bark" can shine into Sunlight..."
Audrey listened with great concentration, as if he had been to so many places and seen so many things.
After a long time, she asked expectantly, "Do you have an answer?"
"There is no answer that can answer all questions." "Justice" Audrey laughed at himself, "I only understand one thing now, that is, human beings must unite and show respect to Deity Only by showing overall strength can we gain a higher status, just like workers, farmers, herdsmen, and clerks must not be afraid of danger, unite, and show overall strength to the upper class to the rulers, in order to obtain better treatment and more security.
"So, we cannot stand on the side of those beings who are born as gods. They do not need anchors. Human beings have no use or meaning to them. If they win the final victory, our existence and destruction, happiness and Pain will only depend on their joys, sorrows and chaotic thoughts, and we will be completely powerless."
Audrey heard the melancholy and worry in "Justice"'s tone, so he comforted him in a playful tone, "We do not need to be born as gods, but we are born to be noble."
"No.""Justice"Audrey shook his head and said with a slight smile, "What is noble is not blood, identity and status, but soul and character."
She extended her right hand to Audrey, who was wearing green and white Long Dress.
"Welcome home~" Audrey smiled and lightly high-fived "Justice".
In the crisp sound of snapping, the two figures suddenly overlapped, no longer distinguishable from each other.
Audrey put on the green and white set of Long Dress, put on pearl earrings, put on simple makeup, and left the bedroom. Accompanied by Maid and Susie, he walked down the stairs, passed through the hall, and arrived at the second floor of the dance floor.
There is a chandelier made of Crystal hanging here, and a whole band is playing. Elegant men and women in formal attire are holding wine glasses, and three or five people gather together to chat, or in pairs, wandering on the dance floor following the melody.
Audrey took a glass of light Golden champagne from the tray held by Waiter, stood by the railing on the second floor, and smiled tenderly as he watched his father Count Hall and mother Lady Cattleya chatting with Nobles who they were very familiar with, and watched the eldest brother and second brother dancing with Lady.
She didn't participate, just watched with a smile on her face.
By the time Late Night arrived, people in Backlund had the same dream.
In the dream, a voice seemed to say:
"Mr. Medici, Lumian Li would like to meet you. You can decide the time and place."
Normally, this sound can only echo in the dreams or hearts of Backlund residents. To spread to other cities and other countries, it needs to be slowly spread and infected with the help of the Collective Subconscious Sea. But this time, it was quickly heard by creatures outside Backlund, with almost no time interval.
"Mr. Medici, Lumian Li would like to meet you. You can decide the time and place."
"Red Angel" Medici, who put his feet on the table, took out his ears and said with a smile, "Haha", "Do you dare to make this decision today?"
"I've been waiting for almost a year."
