Chapter 75: In a Dream



After coming to her senses, Audrey kept smiling but became alert.

She vaguely felt that there was a mysterious force pushing her to come to Hedrak, a village with the custom of dragon worship.

It's like fate.

Audrey had been to the "Hall of Honesty" and found that the murals inside had become reality. Moreover, she knew that Sequence 1 of the "Audience" path was called "Writer". Starting from this name, she made some associations and couldn't help but doubt that something was wrong.

At this time, Hibbert laughed:

"I've heard of this village. I remember my family had an estate nearby."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky:

"It's almost evening, why don't you stay here and continue hunting tomorrow?"

Alfred had no resistance to his brother's suggestion. To him, it made no essential difference which manor he stayed in tonight.

He nodded and said:

"Then send someone back to inform Dad and Mom."

Audrey didn't say anything, her green eyes turned slightly and glanced at the faces of her two brothers.

Hibbert's brows slightly frowned, and he said after a few seconds:

“Let’s go back. The manor here was not notified in advance and is definitely not prepared. It may not be able to serve so many horses, hounds, and servants.

"Besides, there is still more than an hour until evening, which is plenty of time to return."

Seeing that his brother changed his mind so quickly, Alfred subconsciously wanted to disagree, but then he thought again and felt that what the other party said made some sense.

Considering that his sister was also here, he hummed and said:

"Then return as soon as possible."

After saying this, he did not wait for Hibbert. He squeezed his legs together, waved the whip, and took the lead to run back the way he came.

Hibbert frowned, then relaxed.

Without saying anything more, he led his sister, a group of attendants, servants and hunting dogs, turned around, and returned to the manor on the other side along the edge of the forest.

Audrey followed quietly behind without expressing her opinion on how things turned out.

…………

Late at night, in a manor in East Chester County.

Audrey used her "manipulator" ability to change the minds of her two brothers and prevent them from approaching the Hedlak village. She lifted the velvet quilt, lay down, and fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, she suddenly sat up.

She then looked around and saw the familiar dressing table and bathroom entrance, and found herself still in the room, but there was no red moon or stars outside the window, only darkness.

This is not the real world... Audrey made a quick judgment and examined herself.

Soon, she came to a conclusion:

This was a dream, a very strange dream, which actively kept her awake.

As expected... Audrey didn't feel panicked, just a little annoyed.

Her handling of the matter in the afternoon was not careful enough, causing the problem to spread to the manor where her parents lived.

She now thought that she should have followed Hibbert's idea and went directly to the family estate near the village of Hedlak, and then reasonably "arranged" Hibbert and Alfred to return here, leaving herself there alone, waiting for possible changes.

In this way, even if there is an accident, it will not affect parents, brothers and most of the servants.

However, her main thought at that time was not to follow "fate's arrangement" and to avoid the Hedlak village as much as possible.

Who knows, sometimes, if you don’t look for danger, danger will find you.

Avoidance and procrastination are not the panacea for solving problems.

Audrey immediately got out of bed and stood barefoot on the thick carpet.

She has preliminarily confirmed that with her semi-god-level "dream walker" level, she can directly escape from this strange dream, return to the real world, and avoid the suspected "invitation" again.

After looking left and right, Audrey pursed her lips, took the blue cloak hanging on the coat rack next to her, and put it on.

Then she took a deep breath and walked towards the door step by step.

During this process, a deep red "tattoo" like a star appeared on the back of one of her hands.

The "tattoo" then disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

This was the mark left after she first entered the ancient palace above the gray fog. For a long time, it showed no special effects. It was not until the beginning of this year that Mr. Fool told them that when there was no time to pray, they could use the method of stimulating the corresponding "tattoo" instead of chanting the honorific name.

Simply put, this is the treatment of a "God-favored one."

Of course, this cannot convey any information and can only be used in critical situations to make Mr. Fool look over.

More importantly, the star-like crimson mark was quite conspicuous and could be easily spotted by people around her and those secretly watching. Therefore, when she needed to hide her own uniqueness, Audrey preferred to use the abilities of a "manipulator" to implant the idea of ​​praying to Mr. Fool into the mind of an inconspicuous human being nearby, allowing him to complete her prayers and ask for protection on her behalf at the right time and in the right scene.

At this moment, she believed that the owner of the dream knew that she had a problem, so she felt that there was no need to go to great lengths and that she only needed to hide who she was praying to.

After reaching the door, Audrey reached out and grasped the handle, twisted it gently, and pulled it back.

The slightly dim corridor immediately came into her sight.

The main building of this manor has a history of hundreds of years, and many places still retain the characteristics of the past, especially the corridor - it has no gas wall lamps, and the walls are inlaid with silver or copper candlesticks, on which are placed varying numbers of candles, emitting a dim light, illuminating the entire corridor with shadows, giving people a feeling that it may be haunted at any time.

The dream even replicated this... Audrey glanced around and stepped into the corridor.

As thoughts flashed through her mind, a long, thick, light yellow carpet appeared under her feet.

Walking on the carpet, Audrey followed her spiritual intuition and walked to the right.

After walking two or three steps, she suddenly stopped, feeling that there seemed to be something hidden behind the closed doors on both sides, something that made her want to explore strongly.

This is Dad and Mom's bedroom, this is Hibbert's bedroom, and this is Alfred's room... Audrey distinguished them briefly and frowned slightly.

Those classical doors with relief carvings looked particularly mysterious under the dim candlelight, making people want to know what was hidden behind them.

Audrey's thoughts raced, and she suddenly understood what they meant in the dream.

This is the door to the soul. Behind each door is the spiritual world of its owner.

In other words, when Audrey opens Alfred's door, she will see all the secrets hidden deep in his heart.

By the same token, she can also peek into the true hearts of Earl Hall and Lady Catelyn.

Audrey slowly looked away, closed her eyes, and continued walking forward to avoid being affected.

After going through so many things, she increasingly understood one truth:

Demigods in the spiritual realm must know how to restrain themselves and respect others.

Even though you can normally interpret other people's true thoughts from their body language, facial expressions, and emotional fluctuations, if you are still not satisfied and are extremely greedy to explore other people's hearts and dig out their privacy and secrets, it may backfire on you in the end.

This is a very simple truth: everyone has some dark and bad thoughts to a greater or lesser extent, but they are all well able to control them and not let them affect their own behavior. In this case, if the demigod in the spiritual realm is still obsessed with digging out these thoughts and the ugly parts under the mask, he will easily become disappointed with human nature, be infected by all kinds of negative consciousness, and gradually go crazy without knowing it.

This is one of the reasons why “audiences” are prone to becoming abnormal or crazy even though they can clearly “comfort” themselves and treat the corresponding psychological problems.

They are both safe and dangerous.

Therefore, the code of conduct that Audrey set for herself was to only observe and "read the minds" of acquaintances and try not to enter their dreams; there was no restriction on entering the dreams of strangers, and if it was not necessary, she would not enter anyone's spiritual world.

Audrey, wearing a blue cloak, walked along the corridor to the end.

She then opened her eyes and looked towards the room on the left.

It was a semi-open tanning room.

Pursing her lips again, Audrey reached out and grasped the door handle with steady breathing.

As the wooden door opened, the scene inside was gradually revealed.

This was no longer a room. The ground was covered with round stones and clumps of dark blue weeds. It was dark deep inside and impossible to see clearly.

Audrey walked in slowly, and the door creaked shut behind her.

In the darkness, the outlines of some things were quickly outlined:

A huge stone pillar several dozen meters high stood, with a slender lizard-like monster perched on top.

The monster squatted on top of the stone pillar, like a small mountain, its body covered with huge gray-white stone-like scales, and its eyes were pale gold and vertical.

This is a giant spiritual dragon from mythology.

With a rustling sound, the two wings of the giant spiritual dragon spread out, almost covering the sky.

Their skeletons are like metal and leaf veins, covered with a gray membrane with mysterious patterns.

As Audrey looked up, the giant dragon of the mind made a buzzing sound:

"You've been to Liveseyde."

It spoke in the unmistakable language of Draconic.

"Miracle City" Levished... How did it know... Just as Audrey had these two thoughts, she heard the Mind Dragon opposite her speak:

"The consciousness in every mind is exchanging with the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness, and Liveseyd is a very special existence, and the mark it leaves on your mind is the same. When your 'virtual personality' is traveling in the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness and is not far from me, I can naturally sense this."

This is beyond my ability, and it is not something that the Dream Weaver can do... This Psychic Dragon corresponds to Sequence 2 "Insight"? He didn't actually control me directly... As Audrey's thoughts flashed, the Psychic Dragon spoke again:

"I'm pretty sure you mean no harm at this point."

Audrey was silent for two seconds, then looked up and asked:.

"Aren't you worried it's a trap?"
