In Audrey's opinion, Mr. World's current condition is not a mental illness, nor will it lead to a loss of control. It's just that his life goals and the meaning of existence have been shattered, causing certain psychological barriers. As long as he can be guided well and helped to establish medium- and short-term goals and find the meaning of life step by step, the problem will gradually be solved.

In the peaceful and dark silence, Audrey heard Gehrman Sparrow on the other side of the wall reply in a low voice:

"No."

Sure enough, there was no one... Audrey was not surprised and asked:

"Did he look for his family's last words? Did he look for their graves? Did he try to figure out the reason for his sleep?"

Behind the wall, the spirit seemed to disappear for a few seconds, and there was no sound. After a long while, the hoarse voice slowly said:

"No, not yet."

Not yet... but will there be in the future? Audrey felt relieved because she could clearly sense that the "world" Gehrman Sparrow's mood was no longer so gloomy and he seemed to lack interest in everything. He already had a certain amount of motivation and a little urgency, but he still seemed quite confused.

Seizing the opportunity, Audrey used "comfort" again, and this time the effect was much better than before. At least she believed that Mr. "World" had escaped from the ever-sinking abyss of depression and returned to the state of a normal person when he was depressed.

Next, Audrey did not discuss how to find traces or investigate the cause, because this would likely lead to resistance. She nodded naturally in the dark confessional and said:

"Well, there are still many things to do and many problems to make up for! Maybe there is still a chance to meet someone of the same bloodline? Maybe his family did not die of old age, and for some reason they are still alive today? The reason why life is meaningful is because there are infinite possibilities.

“In the process of searching, we must not ignore the surrounding scenery. Life is not just one avenue, but also many branches and alleys. If there were only the former, it would be so monotonous. We must know how to contact, see, and discover…”

Audrey, who was trying hard to recall the appropriate words from various books, suddenly thought of something and said in a softer voice:

“Also, don’t wear that thick mask.”

It doesn't matter if it's thin and transparent, because in human interaction, no one is completely without a mask, and no one likes to directly show their more private and less good parts. This is not only a protection for oneself, but also a respect for others... When Mr. "World" has a certain number of friends, life will naturally reconstruct a new meaning... Audrey silently added a few more words in her heart, but finally did not say them out loud, because she thought it was too straightforward and might even have a bad effect.

As she expected, Gehrman Sparrow fell silent again, still confused.

After a few seconds, a voice that was no longer so hoarse came over:

"Thank you for your enlightenment and treatment."

"No, it all comes from your inner strength." Audrey responded seriously.

She used "comfort" once more at the end to ensure that Mr. "World"'s mental state was close to normal and would not relapse.

She then heard Gehrman Sparrow say:

"Let's end it here today, okay?"

Audrey adjusted her tone again and replied briskly:

"Of course, it's not a serious problem. Come back for a follow-up consultation when you are free next week.

"Also, if possible, prepare some medicine to stabilize your mental state and take it for seven consecutive days. The ingredients are 10 grams of chamomile powder, 5 grams of rosemary powder, and 10 milliliters of lemon balm extract... During this period, do not reduce your intake of sweets and relax yourself appropriately..."

In the dark and quiet confessional, she supported herself against the wall with her hands and slowly stood up.

At this time, Gehrman Sparrow's voice penetrated the wall and said:

"What is the consultation fee?"

Audrey held the wall with one hand, tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment:

"Let's talk about it after I get the potion formula for the Audience Pathway Sequence 5. By then, I may need you to help me collect the materials.

"If the Psychological Alchemy Society can provide the materials as well, well..."

The corners of her mouth curled up a little bit and said:

"When you return to Backlund from the Southern Continent, remember to bring me a local specialty gift."

An ultra-luxurious, lightweight coffin for eight people to carry? Klein on the other side of the wall inexplicably felt the urge to complain. He then stood up along the wall and sent Miss Justice back to the real world.

After waving his hand to make the confessional disappear, he returned to the top of the long bronze table and sat in the seat that belonged to The Fool.

On the table in front of him, on the right were the three blasphemous cards, "Black Emperor", "Tyrant" and "Red Priest", and on the left was the "Creeping Hunger" that Leonard Mitchell had just sent back through the messenger Miss Renette Tinicole.

“I owe Miss Messenger another 10,000 gold coins…” Klein retracted his gaze and raised his right hand to rub his forehead.

In order to prevent Ince Zangwill from escaping through the spirit world, he communicated with Renette Tinicole before planning the murder and asked her to be responsible for expelling the spirit creatures in the area around the Resurrection Square. The price was still 10,000 gold coins.

The only thing that surprised him was that "0-08" was more terrifying than expected. When Ince Zangwill suffered from the "God's Curse" and was consumed by the Angel King Adam, the first attempt still "attracted" unknown creatures that were capable of breaking through Renette Tinicole's blockade. If Daly Simone hadn't forced the spiritual communication and signed the contract, Ince Zangwill might have escaped like that.

Of course, with the "Curse of God" on his shoulders, even if Ince Zangwill managed to escape, he would most likely encounter other disasters in the future. For example, he would be thrown into a more dangerous place by the unknown creature, or directly harmed. But that was beyond Klein's control.

Thinking of the debt of 10,000 gold coins, Klein felt a headache, but his mental state improved a lot.

——After climbing up the stairs of light above the gray clouds and seeing the "light door" and those "silkworm cocoons", his spirit was hit like a flood breaking through a dam. He felt that all his expectations were shattered, and his originally mature world view, outlook on life and values ​​collapsed. He became confused and muddled, like a living corpse.

Fortunately, he still had the instinct to survive and promptly requested treatment from his private psychologist, Miss "Justice" Audrey.

Huh… Klein exhaled and forced himself to turn his thoughts back to those “cocoons”. When he saw that scene, his intuitive reaction was:

A very high-level being, or a sealed object, at the same time, used different methods to capture a large number of people from Earth. Some of them used a ritual to change their luck, some bought strange silver medals, and some had their phones infected with strange viruses...

Then, the souls of these time travelers are sealed in a "cocoon" and hung on the "light gate", waiting for a certain opportunity to appear and be sent into the real world.

According to Klein's observation, the "light gate" currently has no intelligence and operates purely on instinct. In other words, as long as the conditions are met, it will catalyze a "cocoon" and send the soul inside to the body of a specific target.

From the current perspective, Klein guessed that there were probably two conditions that needed to be met:

First, there was no other traveler before, or that traveler had been judged to have failed or died; second, the "call" of a certain thing, an object, or a ritual, just like the black divination that Klein Moretti did according to the Antigonus family notes.

“As for whether there are other things, we don’t know unless we find the corresponding content in Emperor Roselle’s diary… Considering all aspects, my current speculation should be very close to the truth. This can explain why the emperor and I were in the same era on Earth, with a difference of no more than one year, but we were separated by more than 200 years after traveling through time… Because we traveled through time at the same time, but were ‘released’ in different eras! Before entering the real world, the emperor and I had been sleeping for who knows how many years… Brother in the next bed?” Klein leaned back in his chair, his eyes flickering slightly before returning to a gloomy state.

This was a rough judgment he made based on the state of the "light gate", his own situation, and the diary of the emperor.

Of course, this doesn't mean there are no other possibilities. It's just that for now, Klein can't find any other evidence to support it. For example, a "cocoon" may represent a life of the time traveler, but this is inconsistent with Klein's own increasingly difficult recovery, and it is inconsistent with the fact that his spiritual body has not changed.

And if his speculation is not much different from the truth, it means that he has been away from the earth and traveled here for at least two hundred years, or even thousands of years. Even if he finds a way to reach the earth, he cannot return to the home in his heart.

Compared with the distance in space, the barrier of time is more despairing.

This is what caused Klein's mental state to collapse. "Going home" has always been his ultimate goal.

"Miss Justice is right. There are still many problems to solve and explore... What is the meaning of that 'light gate' hanging so many travelers? What is the purpose? Who arranged everything and brought so many people here? Where are they now? Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?" Klein tried to immerse himself in thinking so as to find his future goals again.

Unfortunately, he can only approach the "light gate" at present but cannot touch it, grasp it, or even see it clearly. For the time being, he is unable to do any research and it is difficult for him to obtain the most direct information.

"Consider looking for clues in the real world... Also, since we can climb onto that gray cloud and see the 'light gate' when we reach Sequence 4, then when we reach Sequence 2, and another qualitative change occurs, can we control the 'light gate' to a certain extent and figure out the cause?

“Haha, I was infected by the attitudes of Qi Guang, the goddess, and Arrodes. I almost thought that I was really the master of the gray fog, the great ruler of the spiritual world. Now it seems that I was just randomly selected as an ‘experimental subject’. If I fail, the next traverser will appear…” Klein muttered to himself silently, tapping the edge of the bronze table with his fingers.

Another point he was curious about was:

The three broken "cocoons" represent one, one represents the emperor, and the other one represents someone else.
