"Spectator"
The coffee named Intis is fragrant and strong, and goes perfectly with the soft cakes smeared with cream. Even if Lumian didn't pay attention to them at all, he still felt the beauty.
As soon as he arrived at three-thirty, he heard a familiar gentle female voice coming from the booth behind him.
"Good afternoon, Lumian Mr. Li."
"Good afternoon, Susie Lady." Lumian responded, feeling secretly surprised.
Although he did not deliberately observe the guests who walked into Mason Café, "Hunter"'s instinct still made him generally pay attention to the environment:
At 3:18, when he walked into this Café, there was no one around Booth D, and from 3:15 to 3:30, no one entered the door.
And now, Susie Lady appeared quietly behind Booth D, behind him!
How magical and weird this is!
Susie's voice sounded again, asking gently, "How did you feel after the last treatment?"
Lumian didn't hide anything and simply replied, "It's much better than before. At least I can vent my emotions."
"This is a good thing. Keeping emotions accumulated in your heart and suppressing your feelings will only make your mental problems and extreme state more and more serious, until the self-destructive tendency completely defeats your instinctive will to survive." Susie commented with calm and soothing words, affirming the change of Lumian.
Her tone immediately brought a hint of smile:
"Let's chat first. Just talk about the various things you have experienced in the past two weeks. Well, pick the ones you think you can and are willing to talk about."
Lumian knew that this was to calm down his mental state, do further mental treatment, and lay the foundation for awakening more memories later, so he did not resist at all, and said with a bitter smile, "There is nothing that cannot be said, even Dream, I have opened it to you, the rest can only be regarded as small secrets."
He paused and started from Charlie:
"There was a hapless and stupid guy in the hotel where I stayed..."
Lumian recalled the events of the past two weeks and spoke bit by bit like a casual chat.
His mind gradually relaxed, as if he had returned to the time when Cordou Village had not yet been destroyed:
Aurora, who rarely goes out, will learn from him about the big and small things that happen to Cordou Village, and he is also happy to share them with Older Sister, including showing off the pranks he has achieved success.
Time passed slowly, Lumian's straight back softened a little, and he leaned on the soft sofa.
He didn't go into too much detail. After all, he didn't have much time. He didn't mention the existence of Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society, Franca's original gender, or his doubts about her purpose of joining Savoie Gang. He just said that he met Older Sister. Aurora is a pen pal, she is Sequence 7 "Witch" of "Witch" Pathway, and both parties are in the same Gang.
Similarly, he only briefly mentioned that he held Ritual and obtained additional Gift, without mentioning the specific content of Gift.
Susie listened to the whole content quite quietly, and asked cooperatively "What next?" from time to time, allowing Lumian to continue speaking more smoothly.
After talking about his experiences in the past two weeks, Lumian laughed at himself:
"I don't know if it's my own fault, but I met so many Paranormal Events in such a short period of time. Sometimes, I can't help but sigh about Triers. How come both humans and dogs have Beyond Abilitys."
This time, Susie did not respond to him immediately. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "I can see that your mental state has indeed improved to some extent compared to before."
"Where did you see it?" Lumian just didn't mention the details of how he cried in the carriage and wet the newspaper after seeing Aurora's obituary. He didn't think what he said could reflect his own psychological state.
Susie said in a soft voice, "I can clearly feel that you are rebuilding your social relationships and starting to have some friends."
"Friends?" Lumian asked funnyly, "Charlie, Jenna, Franca? How can they be considered friends?"
Just acquaintances!
Susie responded with a smile:
"There are many kinds of friends, and not every kind requires a deep friendship between the two parties. You only need to ask yourself if you are willing to provide certain help if they encounter difficulties and are within your ability, then you will know whether they are your friends."
"It depends on the specific situation and the price that needs to be paid. I'm not the kind of nice person." Lumian muttered.
Susie did not ask any more questions and explained on his own, "For a person with self-destructive tendencies, the sign that he has begun to get out of the quagmire is his willingness to establish new social relationships."
"Emperor Roselle said, probably Emperor Roselle, that people are the sum of social relationships. When you do not reject the establishment of new relationships, it proves that you no longer resist your own Future.
"Of course, this is just one of the symptoms, not all."
Lumian was silent for a while and said, "Susie Lady, I want to ask you something. I just mentioned some coincidences that happened to me. They are really like what 'Magician'Lady said, and some of them originated from'Spectator'Pathway Mid-Sequence er's influence?"
Compared with the last treatment, Susie seemed to be more relaxed. She laughed and said, "Are you trying to forcefully change the subject?"
"You still have a lot of resistance to this matter in your heart?
"Actually, this can be seen from some details. While you took the initiative to ask That One'Red Boots'Lady to answer your questions in the field of Mysticism when you were free, you never went there. The only time you visited her was on the pretext of repaying a favor. This shows that you are still reluctant to establish a closer relationship with her.
"This is normal. How could Patient be cured with just one treatment? You don't have to have any baggage..."
Susie spoke eloquently, pointing out some of the current psychological problems of Lumian in a gentle way, and finally said, "I wouldn't have told you so directly last time, as it would have made you more resistant and closed off to yourself, but now, you already have a certain tendency to establish new social relationships. Allowing you to see your own heart more clearly will help you move forward better."
After Susie pointed out his hidden thoughts, Lumian's first reaction was to be defensive, vigilant and rejecting. However, the other party's calm attitude, non-Aggressiveness's analysis and accurate grasp of the actual situation made him gradually relax and face up to the problems that existed in his heart.
His body and mind gradually became calmer.
Susie didn't go any further and answered the question Lumian just asked:
"'Magician'Lady's explanation has no problems, but it is not detailed enough.
"To create a coincidence, the Mid-Sequence person of 'Spectator'Pathway needs to do 'Psychological Suggestion' face to face, or 'hypnotize', that is to say, he must appear around you and around Baron Brignais and others.
"The reason why you didn't notice and Baron Brignais didn't notice the abnormality is because the Mid-Sequence of 'Spectator' Pathway also mastered another Beyond Ability, 'Psychological Invisibility'."
"'Psychological Invisibility'? How is this different from other Invisibility?" Lumian asked in confusion.
Susie explained in a calm voice, "'Psychological Invisibility' is not Invisibility in the true sense. It just prevents you from noticing me, even if I am already standing in front of you, many people around you have already seen me."
"Sounds amazing..." Lumian said with emotion. He felt like there were "Psychiatrist" sitting around, but he didn't notice it at all.
"This will not change just because you use 'Spirit Vision'. Before I prepare to attack you, your Danger Sense will not react." Susie further said, "In comparison, 'Hermit' and 'Hide in the Shadows' will make you occasionally feel like you are being watched by the dark."
Lumian asked, "'Hermit', which Pathway?"
"'Secret Supplicant'." Susie simply replied.
"Secret Supplicant"Pathway? Above "Listener", below "Shepherd", there is a Sequence called "Hermit"? This is the Pathway where Mr. K is located... I occasionally feel that there is someone in the darkness around me watching me because of him or his Subordinate?"Lumian combined with the prompts of Aurora's Witchcraft Notes and "Magician"Lady, I have a sudden realization.
--Aurora only records Sequence 9"Secret Supplicant" and Sequence 8"Listener" in "Secret Supplicant" Pathway.
"Magician"Lady seems to have written a lot every time, but in fact it only has a framework and not many details. It is not as good as Susie Lady spoke in detail... Lumian muttered and asked curiously, "Aren't you worried that revealing your Pathway's Beyond Ability to me will cause harm to you?"
Susie did not answer the question and continued, "If you are a High-Sequence person like 'Spectator' Pathway, you don't need to be so troublesome. Even if they are far away from you, they can quietly influence you and make you follow their arrangements unknowingly and create all kinds of coincidences.
"Although I am also 'Spectator', I still want to remind you, 'Be careful Spectator!'"
High-Sequence... Lumian was shocked:
"So, you 'arranged' the That One newsboy to deliver an expired newspaper to me?"
Susie Lady is a High-Sequence er, a true Half-God?
"It's not me." Susie said slightly embarrassed, "It's my companion."
Companion? Lumian remembered "Magician" Lady's initial suggestion, and guessed after careful consideration. "Also That One'Psychiatrist'?
"He came last time too?"
"Yes." Susie said frankly, "Your problem is more serious. I'm not sure, so I asked her to come with me to help me, um, prevent some accidents.
"Actually, she is here today, sitting opposite you."
Opposite? Lumian looked at the opposite side of the coffee table in astonishment. It was empty. Not only was there no human figure, there was no depression where anyone had sat!
The next second, he heard a soft female voice with a slight smile and a slightly brisk tone:
"Hello."
