The golden liquid was so cool that Audrey felt like she was enjoying delicious ice cream. Then she took a sip of champagne. Tiny bubbles kept rising and bursting silently, bringing a slight numbing stimulation.
Her hearing suddenly spread out, and she could even hear the conversation between the two maids at the end of the corridor, who were regretting not having the opportunity to go to the Hall family castle and estate in East Chester County.
At this moment, Audrey felt like she was dissolving into an illusory gas, expanding rapidly outwards, filling the entire house and overlapping with the ocean of everyone's spiritual consciousness.
Her vision also changed. Everything she saw became unusually smooth, becoming a kind of mirror that reflected her current appearance.
Under the beauty described by words like pure, exquisite, majestic, and smart, her exposed skin was slowly growing golden scales, and her emerald green eyes were shrinking and dyed with a light golden hue, as if they were standing up.
Seeing herself like this, Audrey suddenly felt a deep fear in her heart. She didn't want to and wasn't willing to turn into an inhuman monster!
With a buzzing sound, her mind began to blur, and it seemed that something was slowly and painfully drilling out of her body.
At this moment, she heard the gentle voice of Susie, the golden retriever:
“Don’t be scared, calm down.
"Don't be scared, calm down."
Audrey regained her composure and tried her best to put herself into the "audience" state.
Her fluctuating emotions quickly calmed down, and her soul seemed to have been pulled out of her body, looking down at her like an audience.
Audrey saw the golden scales on the body fading away, and saw the emerald eyes returning to normal.
It wasn't long before she regained control of her body and understood what extraordinary abilities the psychiatrists had and how to use them.
Just now, it was really dangerous... Audrey raised her hand in fear, only to see her skin was white, tender and delicate, without any trace of the abnormality just now.
After this incident, she truly understood how terrible the danger of losing control was, which Mr. Fool occasionally reminded her and Mr. The Hanged Man always emphasized. She also deeply realized the difficulty of the path to transcendence.
Even if there is a role-playing method, it is impossible to completely eliminate the hidden dangers!
At a party, Mr. World said that Beyonders are pitiful creatures who are always fighting against danger and madness... I could only understand it literally before, but now I finally feel the weight behind this sentence... Audrey, don't be discouraged, don't be afraid, Dad, Mom, and Brother are still waiting for your protection. With this experience, you will not be scared by yourself anymore, and you will not be so easily on the verge of losing control! Come on! Audrey clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
She calmed down for two seconds, walked to Susie, half squatted down, hugged the big golden retriever, combed its hair, and leaned her head against the dog's face, muttering to herself in the warmth:
"Thank you, thank you..."
Susie rubbed it twice and said seriously:
“Audrey, is this how a shrink feels?
"I love so much."
…Audrey suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Then, she pursed her lips and promised:
"Susie, we will heal each other's, um, psychological problems in the future!"
"Okay, woof!" Susie responded happily.
It was only at this time that Audrey finally recovered and was in a good mood to review the improvement she had received:
“My body seems to have become healthier. Although I don’t have obvious muscles, my strength and speed are much stronger than before…
"My eyesight has improved again, and I can even see objects hidden in the dark clearly...
"My sense of smell can now distinguish more subtle smells, so I can grasp the target's true emotions and thoughts...
"I finally have a truly extraordinary ability. Well, one is 'stun', which can be used on a single target or a group within a range, making them panic and fall into chaos in an instant, just like facing a giant dragon.
"One is 'Frenzy', which triggers the target's emotions or psychological state, causing him to fall into 'Frenzy' and suffer severe mental damage. Sometimes, it can even cause the target to lose control.
"One is 'psychological suggestion', which uses specific actions, specific language and specific media to hint at the target, so that he will follow my arrangement unconsciously, or strongly and sincerely not want to break a promise;
"One is 'comfort', also called 'psychoanalysis', which can help Beyonders who are on the verge of losing control regain their sanity and escape from dangerous situations. This has a certain probability of failure. The higher the sequence, the easier it is to succeed. It can also calm patients with mental instability due to various reasons and enable communication.
"One is real 'mind reading'. Through candlelight, pure water and other media, the target is put into a semi-hypnotic state and communicates directly with his mind body, just like what Mr. Hilbert Alucard did to me. Without the protection of Mr. Fool's angel, I couldn't lie in that situation. Hmm... I have to be wary of similar techniques in the future and not be deceived by the target. There should be many ways to achieve that effect...
"With 'comfort' and 'mind reading', plus a certain amount of psychology knowledge, I can play the role of a real psychiatrist, the kind that can open a clinic!"
Audrey's mood quickly improved, and she finally felt that she had grown up and was a qualified Extraordinary Person.
I am a mid-sequence Beyonder! It is indeed a qualitative change! She stood up, lifted her skirt, and walked around briskly.
She soon discovered a problem, that is, the "psychologist" still lacked direct attack capabilities.
Fortunately, I have it... Audrey stopped in front of the laboratory table and opened a very ordinary brown box.
Inside the box was a silver mask that only covered the upper half of her face. It was the magical item that the Hanged Man had sold to her.
Audrey picked it up, held it in her palm, and observed it for a few seconds.
Then, she spread her spirituality and gave the other person some ideas, just like she did above the gray fog.
She saw the silver mask begin to curl inward, transforming into a hollow, slightly huge earring with delicate patterns.
"Maybe it would be better as a necklace." Audrey whispered.
Then, she tried out the various capabilities of this magical item with a sense of reward, and was most satisfied with the ability to fine-tune her appearance.
"It's a pity that apart from manipulating fire, it doesn't have any more direct attack capabilities. Maybe I need to prepare another pistol, one with extraordinary effects..." Audrey thought with a little regret.
She quickly gathered her thoughts and said to the magical item in her hand with a rising voice:
"From today on, your name is 'Lie', the most beautiful lie~"
…………
"The City of Generosity" Bayam, Docklands, 48 Sour Lemon Street, "Azure Wind" Hotel.
It was raining heavily and stormy outside, but inside the luxurious suite the fireplace was warm and the environment was peaceful.
Klein sat in a chair, silently watching "Flame" Danitz treat the severe fracture of his left arm.
After the other party had tied up his arms with old clothes torn into strips, he spoke directly:
"What treasure?"
According to Danitz, it was precisely because of a certain treasure that Admiral Blood Senior wanted to deal with Vice Admiral Iceberg Edwina Edwards.
The sound of wind and rain came through the window. Danitz took a sip of the "Lelangqi" on the table and smiled angrily and bitterly:
“Those guys whose brains were eaten by zombies!
"During our last expedition, we found a shipwreck. Although we didn't find anything of value, we did find a huge black iron key that didn't look like something humans could use. Can you imagine? It has been submerged in the sea for so many years, but it hasn't rusted at all."
“Yes,” Klein responded concisely.
In a world where the supernatural and the mysterious are intertwined, what is impossible?
There is resurrection from the dead, not to mention other things!
Danitz was choked for a moment, and it took him seven or eight seconds to figure out how to continue:
“There may be a traitor among us, and this news has spread. Countless pirates believe that this is the key of the god of death, the key that can open the treasure left by the god of death.
"I originally thought that this problem would be clarified soon, and I happily applied for leave. As a result, things became more complicated. Even the Blood Admiral joined the ranks of those crazy pirates. I began to suspect that it might be the Key of Death, a key that could make a person a true god."
“Stupid.” Klein gave his assessment calmly.
He is experienced both in the field of divination and in dealing with gods, so he has his own interpretation of the "Key of Death" and is very confident.
He believes that the "key" is a revelation, a symbol, and that what most likely opens the Death's Treasure House is not something in the shape of a key, but some kind of characteristic, a bloodline, or even a few specific people and their descendants.
Danitz was stunned for two seconds, then sighed:
“Your words are exactly the same as the captain’s previous comments, even the expressions are very similar.
“She suspected that the key belonged to an older time, not to humans.
"Before the Cataclysm, there were giants, dragons, elves, demon wolves and other creatures active in this world. The shape of the key vaguely points to one of them."
Demonic Wolf... Klein suddenly thought of the whispers that always echoed in his ears when he was promoted. The "Fregola" in it referred to the ancient god "Destruction Demonic Wolf".
Treasures related to the Second Age? He suppressed his curiosity and said calmly:
"Write down everything that Admiral Blood has done, including Iron McVitie and his men."
He remembered that the "Blood Admiral" and his pirate group were the most notorious group in the ocean, with blood on their hands and serious crimes.
"How can I possibly remember them? They are not beauties like the captain!" Danitz spread his hands and said, "I can only list the most important deeds and some details that left a deep impression on me. Hiss, what do you want to do?"
Klein gradually smiled, a smile that frightened Danitz.
He spoke in a low voice:
"I want to hunt them if it's appropriate."
