Inside the building where the Loen Antiquities Collection and Protection Foundation was located, Audrey blinked with her thoughts boiling. She paid attention to her subtle expressions and body movements, half-truthfully drawing a crimson moon on her chest, and sighed:

"It is such a tragedy, may their souls rest in peace."

The reason why she guessed that the members of the archaeological team were members of the Psychological Alchemy Society was because she had once accepted a mission to help the organization obtain a notebook from the Twenty Years War period from Associate Professor Michel, and this notebook belonged to Lindila, a former knight of the Hedlak village.

Audrey sought help from Mr. Fool at the time, and confirmed the origin of the notes with the help of the Magic Mirror Divination, and found that it was closely related to the village that worshipped dragons. Because she knew in advance that there was a psychic dragon that could hide in the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness, so, considering her own lack of sequence and strength, she finally chose to hand over the notes to the Psychological Alchemy Society.

In other words, there is a high possibility that the secret organization of the Psychological Alchemy Society has locked onto the village of Hedlak through the notebook and went there to look for the target object.

There is another reason why Audrey made this judgment, that is, the strange mental illness suffered by the members of the archaeological team, which can be transmitted like a plague, making people around them go crazy one after another.

In the real world, mental illness has a chance of being inherited, but it is almost impossible to infect others. However, in the field of mysticism, in the world of spirits and consciousness, a chaotic and crazy mind can indeed infect the target through methods such as telepathy, dreaming, and subconscious influence!

And in the village of Hedlak lurks a giant psychic dragon that has lived for who knows how many years!

The Psychological Alchemy Society found Hedlak Village through the notebook, and the threatened Psychic Dragon used clever methods to contaminate their minds one after another? Perhaps this was accomplished through the collective subconscious ocean... The extraordinary world is really dangerous. Such a "team", several selected extraordinary people, just ended their lives in such an absurd way... Audrey thought, and was glad that she made a rational choice at the beginning, and did not take the Knight's Notes capriciously to explore Hedlak Village, otherwise, she would probably be added to the list of insane people.

Thanks to Mr. Fool, to all the members of the Tarot Club, and to Qilingos who sneaked in disguise earlier. Although I don’t have much practical experience in the field of mysticism, I am still aware that there are too many dangers hidden here, and I must be cautious and careful enough... Audrey thanked them silently.

At this moment, thinking back to her performance when she first joined the Tarot Club, she wanted to bury her face in the pillow and shouted to herself in her heart:

"Audrey, how could you be so naive and childish back then!

"That means you have met Mr. Fool. If it were any other hidden being, you would have turned into a madman or a monster long ago!

"Mr. Fool is such a good man! No, he is a very good god!"

Associate Professor Michelle beside him saw that Miss Audrey had been silent for a long time, and nodded heavily:

“Yes, it is a horrible tragedy.

"I just hope the government has dealt with this matter and that this contagious mental illness doesn't become an epidemic."

Don't worry, unless the giant psychic dragon gets out of control and intends to challenge the three major churches, there won't be more people infected with the mental illness... Audrey responded silently.

In her opinion, the official extraordinary people should have taken over this matter. After all, contagious mental illnesses would naturally be transferred over.

Therefore, the dragon emblem in the glass display case must have been donated to the foundation after they had confirmed that there was no problem. The police department does not have this authority!

Audrey felt strong sympathy for the dead members of the archaeological team who were suspected to be members of the Psychological Alchemist Society, as if she had experienced the tragedy herself. At the same time, she was very curious whether the psychic dragon was still in Hedlak and the nearby villages.

Hiding in the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness of living beings in a physical form should be difficult to be discovered and found... However, the three major churches have a long history. In the Fourth Epoch, or even earlier, they must have had intersections with the Psychic Dragon. Perhaps there are corresponding records handed down... In addition, the Psychic Alchemy Society has the "audience" channel and has high-sequence beings. Their understanding of the collective subconscious sea is not much worse than that of the Psychic Dragon. After the initial exploration suffered a tragic failure due to insufficient intelligence, the team sent next must be very powerful... Well, although the Psychic Dragon is more powerful than the Psychic Alchemy Society expected, it will not stay where it is and wait for others to find it. It should have left... Audrey made a guess based on the situation she knew.

She had no intention of going to the Hedlak village to find out the truth, because she already knew that her current strength was not enough to deal with the psychic dragon.

Her only plan at the moment is to bring up this matter at the Tarot meeting next week to see if other members can provide enough valuable knowledge. For example, is it because there is a custom of dragon worship here that the spiritual dragon can directly enter the collective subconscious ocean to live, or is it because the spiritual dragon lives in the collective subconscious ocean here, and the people around will sometimes dream about it and will be subconsciously affected accordingly, so the custom of dragon worship emerged.

On Friday afternoon, Klein took the list of guests who had accepted the invitation to the dance party tomorrow night and carefully memorized what topics to talk about with different guests.

"When you meet Senator Macht, you should praise the recent atmosphere in Backlund. When you greet Professor Portland Mormont, you can make a few jokes about the Royal Academy of Sciences..." Klein was carrying them one by one when he suddenly heard illusory layers of prayers in his ears.

A man... Calculating the time, it is most likely Mr. The Hanged Man... Klein put down the paper in his hand thoughtfully, took a sip of black tea, stood up and left the semi-open room with a large balcony, and returned to the bathroom in the master bedroom.

He walked four steps backwards and entered above the gray fog, where he discovered that the person praying was the Hanged Man.

This gentleman asked the great Fool to tell the World that he had arrived at Bayam, the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, the City of Generosity. After two more days, he would be able to head to the pristine island after replenishing his supplies.

He asked "The World" to prepare in advance so as not to be too late to meet up, and said that if the other party had no good way to go to the primitive island, he could arrange for "The World" to secretly board the "Blue Avenger".

Take the Blue Avenger and take a group of Storm Church sailors to the vicinity of the original island? How long can the blood clan anesthetic gas bought from Emlyn last? Is there enough time for exploration? Klein thought about it, and manifested the "world" Gehrman Sparrow, asking him to pray devoutly:

“…There’s no need to be so troublesome.

"You should be able to move freely in Bayam. See you at the cemetery outside the city at 12 o'clock tonight.

"Before that, replenish your supplies."

…………

Bayam, inside a hotel.

Alger frowned slightly as he listened to the words of “World” Gehrman Sparrow.

In the "City of Generosity", he can indeed move freely, because the sailors are all eager to go to the "Red Theater" and other places, and they will definitely not come back tonight. After waking up during the day, they will definitely go to gamble a few times and indulge themselves to vent the depression and distress of long-term wandering on the sea.

In other words, even if Alger disappeared for a whole night or a whole day, no one would notice him.

...Does the "world" mean to use this gap? This is indeed better than using the vampire anesthetic gas. This method has been used twice. Maybe someone has already had doubts and is waiting for verification... But without a ship, how can we get to that primitive island... Uh, "Lemano's Travel Notes"? Miss "Magician" mentioned that it records the extraordinary ability of "teleportation", but there is only one page, which is definitely not enough for a round trip... Alger relied on his powerful associative ability to vaguely guess what the "world" Gehrman Sparrow wanted to do, but he thought that it lacked the necessary conditions.

With such doubts, he found the contact person of the resistance army and replenished a batch of storm field spells made of white tin.

At 11 o'clock at night, Alger quietly left the hotel and walked along the shadows of the street all the way out of the city.

He was not worried that the sailors would come back and find him gone, because he also had physical needs, and it was possible that he had slept with a girl at the Red Theater and was reluctant to come back. Bayam had many similar brothels, and there were also a large number of streetwalkers. It didn't mean that he knew something was wrong just because he was confirmed to be alone at the Red Theater.

After leaving Bayam, Alger walked along a narrow road that was too narrow for carriages to pass, heading toward the middle of the mountain range by the sea.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he discovered something wrong.

Under the crimson moonlight, a mountain that was supposed to be there disappeared!

Correspondingly, below, rocks are piled up, grass and trees are gone, and the terrain has almost completely changed!

This... Alger had come from the rebels' private port before and had no chance to pay attention to the mountains here, so he didn't notice anything unusual until now!

The mountain collapsed? It actually collapsed? Oh, yes, there was a newspaper report that Bayam had suffered a shallow earthquake, with the force concentrated in the mountains outside the city... Also, the deacon of the church said that Gehrman Sparrow almost destroyed Bayam, and that a demigod was involved in that incident... The time points of the two events were very close... Could it be that this was caused by Gehrman Sparrow? He triggered a demigod-level battle, but he managed to escape and kill the "Blood Admiral"? Alger's pupils dilated, his steps slowed down, and he paused.

He suddenly understood why the Church of Storms valued Gehrman Sparrow so much and why they issued a bounty of 50,000 pounds!

A chilly wind blew out from the undamaged cemetery ahead, rushing toward Alger in the silent night, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

At this moment, Alger's heart moved, and he turned his head sideways and looked behind him.

In the dark environment under a giant tree, a figure quickly emerged.

The figure put his hand on his hat and slowly raised his head, revealing a thin face, deep lines, and dark brown eyes without any emotion. It was Gehrman Sparrow.
