After opening the " Door of the Mental Body," Klein cautiously extracted the memories related to the " The Fool," gathered them together, and " Grafting " them onto the Gray Fog.

Then, he saw Audrey, with her long, flowing blonde hair and a pale white scarf wrapped around her eyes, ascend the manifested ancient stone steps, step by step, from the Sea of Collective Subconscious to her own island of the mind.

After a slight hesitation, Klein stopped allowing that part of his consciousness to linger in the Sky of Spirituality, relinquishing control and letting it return and merge.

If this is not done, he will remain absolutely rational during the subsequent psychotherapy, unable to be moved by various memories, and will lose the possibility of enhancing his humanity.

This means that Audrey's treatment was doomed to fail from the start.

After relying on her Spirituality intuition to reach the island of the soul, which was more like a dream world, Audrey stopped and slightly opened her arms.

She immediately recalled her parents' love for her, the excitement of becoming Beyonder, and the joy of genuinely helping others, using these memories to change her own emotions and radiate corresponding fluctuations outward.

This is how she evoked human-related memories in Gehrman Sparrow, a remarkable manifestation of the "empathy" effect.

Images, some precious and others deeply moving, flashed through Audrey's consciousness. Beneath her feet, on the surface of the island representing Klein's soul, tiny, firefly-like lights pierced through the "soil" and rose to the surface.

Each of these points of light presents a different scene:

"A child with short legs took an ice cream."

"A student, using a textbook as a cover, secretly looked at comics."

"A boy was sitting at his computer desk at home, engrossed in a game, when suddenly he heard the sound of a key being inserted into the lock and gently turned. He jumped up, forced the computer to shut down, and rushed back to his room. Overjoyed that his actions had gone unnoticed, he was almost unsteady on his feet. He went to the living room to ask his mother for pocket money, then strolled over to his father to casually ask him questions about his studies."

"A young man and his companion pushed a shy friend out into the corridor, right in front of the girl he had a crush on, then turned around and laughed loudly."

A young man, still somewhat immature, secretly glanced downstairs, watching a figure disappear into the distance, but couldn't bring himself to speak.

"An employee with a slightly protruding belly returned home on vacation, impatiently waving her hand to tell her parents not to serve her food or introduce her to potential blind dates. But after calming down, she stared blankly at her parents' graying hair."

"A somewhat scholarly-looking man, along with his brother and sister, finished moving and, looking at the dirt and dust on each other's faces, burst into laughter."

Klein sat at the small round table on the terrace, holding his hat in one hand and the other hand suspended in mid-air, as if he wanted to bring it to his face.

Two clear water droplets slid slowly down the sides of his nose and fell into the void.

Klein closed his eyes, his expression both gentle and sorrowful.

Within his inner island, Audrey seemed to transform into a vortex of emotions, drawing in memories belonging to her kind.

Just as the sky above the entire island was filled with firefly-like lights, a faint grayish-white mist began to linger.

Amidst the mist, a Door of Light, tinged with a bluish-black hue, appeared and disappeared, composed of numerous illusory and dazzling orbs of light.

Each sphere of light is composed of countless tiny, sometimes transparent, sometimes segmented, and sometimes starlight-like insects, which embrace and intertwine with each other, resembling creatures from mythology.

At first glance Door of Light appears somewhat strange, but upon closer inspection, one can see that its surroundings are dark, as if it were draped in a hooded, deep black robe.

Therefore, viewed as a whole, it is like a mysterious person hiding an unknown and strange figure under a robe.

The next second, slippery, illusory tentacles shot out from beneath the "mysterious man's" deep black robe.

At this moment, although Audrey's consciousness could neither see nor hear, her Spirituality intuition gave her a strong sense of danger, a hallucination that a polluted ocean was about to engulf her.

No, this wasn't a hallucination! She believed that if things were allowed to continue like this, she would contract a severe mental illness, or even go insane on the spot and lose control!

Just as Audrey was trying her best to " Placate " herself and reduce the pollution ahead, the firefly-like lights Levitation on the island rapidly gathered, illuminating the gray-white mist, softening the deep black around the strange Door of Light, and causing the tentacles covered with mysterious and strange patterns to retract.

This is why Klein only sought "psychological treatment" after his mental state had stabilized and he could barely suppress the resurrected will of the " Celestial Worthy ".

This made Audrey realize the danger had lessened, so she quickly performed a Psychoanalysis on herself and then immediately began to " Placate " the pollution, initiating a true " Hypnosis."

After repeating the process over and over again, Audrey spent an unknown amount of time before finally achieving the initial, desired effect.

She then exited Gehrman Sparrow's mental island and returned to her own body.

This treatment was very difficult, so she didn't use a " Virtual Persona " and went directly to her own Mental Body.

Sensing the end of the treatment, Klein raised his hand and wiped his face, allowing the " The Fool's " memories " Grafting " onto the Gray Fog to return to their original form.

After several seconds, Audrey removed the light white silk scarf wrapped around her eyes and nose, breaking the self- Hypnosis.

She looked at Mr. "World" across from her, and said, half to herself and half with a sigh:

Is this the spiritual problem brought about by divinity?

That's truly terrifying...

Klein nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, every Angel has it; the only difference is whether it's more severe or very severe."

"There will be Saint, and there will also be Beyonder of the Low-Sequence who are not Demigod," Audrey added, combining this with Gehrman Sparrow's previous explanation.

"For Beyonder at the Low-Sequence of the Extraordinary, the lingering mental imprint of their past owners within their traits poses a relatively greater danger." Klein picked up his gold-inlaid cup and took a sip. "This is the cruel law of the mystical world, because our extraordinary abilities all originate from external things, from Beyonder Characteristic."

Audrey nodded first, then shook her head slightly, and said as she pondered:

"I think it might not be that pessimistic. Just like the source of life for every human being comes from external things: air, bread, meat, water, and so on."

"When we absorb them, we also absorb the negative aspects that come with them, which leads to various problems and illnesses. But this does not mean that we should completely fight against them or regard them as foreign things in an absolute sense. Once we absorb them, a part of them will always belong to us."

I didn't express myself very well, but I think you should understand what I mean.

Klein paused for a moment, then replied thoughtfully:

"Is it like humans consuming food, or is it that extraordinary individuals acquire Beyonder Characteristic?"

"Then, maintain a peaceful mindset, don't harbor overly resistant thoughts, embrace both confrontation and cooperation, both suppression and integration?"

"That's roughly it." Audrey finished speaking, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "However, it also seems to have a negative connotation. Humans will eventually die, and the extraordinary..."

She didn't finish her sentence, not wanting to upset the patient opposite her.

She then said:

"If I come twice more this week, I should be able to maintain mental stability under normal conditions, yes, normal conditions."

"Also, you can visit places you cherish or long for at other times."

Klein nodded and said directly:

What are your thoughts on the suggestion of ' Wrath '?

Audrey's smile slowly faded, and her expression gradually became serious.

What suggestions do you have?

Klein put down his teacup and said calmly:

"Strictly speaking, the danger you bring can be divided into two categories: one is that you have actively or passively become involved in something that has drawn powerful enemies to your side, affecting your family, relatives, friends and innocent people; the other is that your very existence has led certain forces to target the people you value most, thereby threatening you."

"For the latter type, you can never avoid it unless you are already dead. Of course, in most cases, this kind of thing is transformed from the first type."

"If you give up all your current identities in the occult world and from now on only be a follower of Mr. The Fool and Miss Audrey Hall, and no longer actively participate in anything involving the supernatural or unstable factors, you can avoid most of the first type of risk and make the second type of situation rare."

"Under these circumstances, the favor bestowed upon the Hall Family by the ' Evernight Goddess ' and the protection afforded to you by Mr. ' The Fool ' are sufficient to deal with the rare dangers and ensure the safety of your family."

"Therefore, there's absolutely no need to separate an identity."

Audrey remained silent for a long while, then bit her lip almost imperceptibly before asking:

What if we need to separate an identity?

"As long as you make that identity also believe in Mr. ' The Fool,' then it won't be much different from what I just said. The only difference is that you'll have to distance yourself from your family and friends and live and act under a different identity," Klein said in a slightly deep and solemn voice. "Also, are you comfortable letting Hermes help you split your identity?"

Audrey's emotions were disrupted by this question, and her eyes flickered slightly as she replied:

"However, the ability to separate identities should be an extraordinary ability of Sequence 3, ' Dreamweaver '."

She definitely couldn't have accomplished it on her own.

Klein's lips curled slightly, and he suddenly asked:

"You can use that ' Pride ' mask to enter the ' Garden of Eden ' directly?"

Because Audrey couldn't bring up anything related to the Psychology Alchemists, he directly pointed out the key point.

Audrey nodded slightly, and said with a mixture of surprise, confusion, and a sense of knowing something:

"I can't pay equivalent compensation, and..."

Before she could finish speaking, Klein said coldly:

"On the one hand, Adam betrayed Mr. The Fool and almost killed me. On the other hand, the Apocalypse are approaching, and Mr. The Fool foretold some things. At that time, He may fall into a deep sleep again, and as His Blessed, I will not be spared. The reward you need to pay is to do some dangerous things according to Mr. The Fool's last instructions when such a change occurs, and try to awaken Him."

Before Miss Justice could process his words, Klein stretched out his right hand and made a few grabbing motions in the void ahead, producing a gray, white, cold, and illusory Persona Mask.

He relied on his status and Audrey's trust in him to forcibly summon the projection of the " Pride " mask from the Historical Void.

"It's connected to my mind; no one else can use it." Audrey, seeing this, subconsciously pointed out the problem.

"Give me a single hair," Klein said calmly.

Without thinking twice, Audrey plucked a golden hair and handed it to Gehrman Sparrow.

Klein took the hair and wrapped it around the eye holes of the Persona Mask.

Then, holding a silk top hat in one hand and a greyish-white mask in the other, he slowly stood up.

In this process, he mobilized the " Sefirah Castle " and " Deceit " the rules.

Snap!

The " Pride " mask landed on Klein's face without any hindrance, and before his eyes appeared a series of animals dressed as humans and walking upright.

He went straight into the " Garden of Eden ".

Gazing at the black church in the center of the city, inlaid with a skull, Klein slightly curled the corners of his mouth, drew his " Staff of the Stars," and put his silk hat on his head.
