Chapter 116 Disaster for Pond Fish

Backlund, Queens District, in Hall's luxurious villa.

Audrey had just tried the three evening dresses that were available today, and she was sitting on a padded chair thinking about what accessories they should be matched with, which one she preferred, and what her mother's opinion would be.

At this moment, a boundless gray mist and a blurred figure overlooking everything suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, she saw another figure—a praying figure shrouded in gray mist, and the corresponding words echoed in her ears.

In this regard, Audrey was not surprised but happy, and felt a little uneasy and worried because there was no Tarot meeting today, and her heart calmed down.

Sure enough, nothing! Well, Mr. World really has a psychological problem. He must have been under a lot of pressure recently. No wonder he had to make an appointment before... Audrey sighed for a while, and then began to think about when she would be free.

While pondering, her eyes swept over the busy maids in the room, and at Susie, the big golden retriever squatting at the door.

The corners of Audrey's mouth curled up a little uncontrollably, she lowered her head, and prayed secretly in response:

"...Please tell Mr. World that I have some free time recently, and he will determine the time and place. Well, as long as it is not at night, it will not exceed a few districts west of Backlund..."

At this moment, the golden retriever Susie, who was observing the maids' work, seemed to feel the inexplicable gaze, turned her head suspiciously, and looked at Audrey's position, but found no problem.

…………

Above the gray mist, inside a palace that looks like a residence for giants.

Available at any time... A convenient time to go out... A place that will not be far away from familiar areas... Klein rubbed his forehead and deciphered Miss Justice's answer.

His first reaction was that it would be best to let the other party determine the location today or tomorrow, and then he would use his "squirming hunger" to "teleport" there, but he immediately thought of a question:

That is, Dwayne Dantès is within the investigation range of the "Nighthawks", and is likely to be under surveillance, and rashly "traveling" is very easy to expose problems.

Wait a few days, or... Klein thought about it seriously, and let the manifested "world" Gehrman Sparrow pray again:

"...Please tell Miss 'Justice', that's today, above the gray fog."

…………

ah? Audrey's eyes widened, and she felt that the answer given by Mister "World" was completely beyond her expectations.

How could she find Susie as a stand-in!

Moreover, in Mister Fool's palace, I can't see or sense many details, which are seriously lacking in conditions for the treatment of psychological problems... Audrey calmed down her surprise, and proposed from the perspective of feasibility Please convey your own doubts to "The World", Mr. "Fool".

Not long after, she got a reply again:

"...I will ask Mister Fool to lift this restriction, and use other methods to cover up the true appearance of both parties..."

Can it still be like this? Is this the special treatment of Mister Fool's family? Well, our continuous communication is equivalent to direct communication. It is too much trouble for Mister Fool, and he is almost conniving... Audrey turned her thoughts and did not look for a reason:

"...OK, between 11:30 and 12:30 tonight..."

She didn't think she'd have the space to be alone until the birthday party was over.

…………

At the same time, in the house at No. 39 Böklund Street.

Hazel looked at the selected evening dress boredly, listening to her mother's repeated instructions.

She will accompany her father and mother to miss Audrey Hall's birthday ball tonight.

Just when Hazel's thoughts diverged a little bit,

When her mind gradually went blank, she saw a gray-white mouse appearing at the door, waving its paw anxiously.

This...Hazel listened patiently to her mother's new lecture, found an excuse, and went back to the bedroom directly.

When she closed and locked the door, the gray-white mouse jumped out from nowhere and came to her feet, squatting down in a funny way:

"I found something wrong nearby!"

The mouse vibrated the air and spit out words!

Hazel was not surprised by this, but asked in doubt:

"What's wrong?"

The gray-white mouse raised its right front paw, pointed out the window and said:

"There are Extraordinary people from the Church of Evernight investigating this block, and the standards are quite high."

"What are they looking for?" Hazel frowned slightly.

The gray and white mouse took a slow breath and said:

"How would I know? But it must be something very serious.

"That way, they're more likely to find out about your problem."

Hazel was a little worried and asked in a puzzled way:

"How did they find out? Haven't the clues in the sewer been blown up? Haven't the corresponding problems been dealt with?"

The gray-and-white mouse didn't know what to say for a moment, and it took several seconds for it to reply vaguely:

"Official Beyonders have many strange but useful investigation methods... In short, I want to deal with your dreams, which are the easiest places to expose."

Hazel looked down at the mouse on the ground, frowned a little bit and then stretched out:

"All right."

Don't act reluctantly, I have managed to regain some strength, and now I have to waste it again! Is this neighborhood cursed? First came a witch in a very strange state, then the "Grand Thief" Dark Emperor appeared, and now something inexplicably happened that made the "Nighthawks" take it so seriously! The gray-white mouse squeaked twice irritably.

…………

At 7:30 in the evening, Hazel accompanied her father, Councilor Macht, and mother, Mrs. Liana, to Queens and entered Earl Hall's house.

Because today was the birthday party, she didn't see Miss Audrey Hall directly, but just quietly watched the exchange of greetings between her parents and Earl Hall, Mrs. Caitlin, Lord Hibbert Hall and others.

In her eyes, these noble nobles are essentially the same as commoners, so they are not particularly restrained, and their behavior and speech are quite generous.

——If it wasn't for her mother, Mrs. Liana, who emphasized it over and over again, Hazel even thought that the gorgeous dance floor, murals of great artistic value, and elegant and outstanding statues in this villa were more worthy of respect.

Smiling and saying hello to people she didn't know, Hazel finally waited until the ball started, and saw tonight's protagonist, Miss Audrey Hall, walking out of the room on the second floor, holding the arms of the Earl and Countess. Go to the railing facing the dance floor.

As soon as Hazel glanced, she would habitually skip over the other person's face, and examine her dress style and accessories.

However, she couldn't move her eyes away. On the huge crystal chandelier hanging high, the rays of whale oil candles were full of dreamy colors, and shone on Audrey, who had just turned 18, making her emerald green. The slender eyes, pure and indescribable face and long moist golden hair seemed to be shining, making the evening dress and various accessories lose their color.

Hazel was in a daze for a moment, unable to hear what Earl Hall was saying, until the melodious melody was played, and Audrey Hall and her earl's father danced the opening dance, and then she came back to her senses.

Always proud, she suddenly felt a little inferior, thinking that even if such a dazzling young lady did not possess supernatural powers, she would be no worse than herself.

Hazel pursed her lower lip, glanced left and right, and found that everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted, but their feelings were different.

Phew... Hazel let out an inexplicable breath.

At the ball that night, she didn't act so arrogant anymore, but every minute she wanted to leave here, return home, and busy herself with her own affairs, in order to obtain more magical and powerful power.

Finally, the dance came to an end, and the Hazel family bid farewell to the hosts and walked towards the door.

When she was about to leave, Hazel couldn't help but glance back, and saw that Miss Audrey was standing on the edge of the dance floor, with a faint and beautiful smile, greeting the guests who were about to leave.

She still seemed to be directly under the light.

…………

The birthday party was over, Audrey took off her accessories, put on a nightgown, and entered the bathroom.

Seeing the white mist on the surface of the water and the bathrobe beside her, Audrey didn't rush to take a bath, she sat beside her and prayed to Mister Fool, expressing that she was ready.

After about ten seconds, she saw crimson light gushing out like a tide, submerging herself.

Above the gray mist, Audrey appeared on the side of the long bronze table.

This time, she didn't see Mister Fool shrouded in gray mist, but only found an ancient "confession room" on the side—it was a large brown box half a person's height, with a door at the front and back, and a wooden board in the middle. cut off.

I thought Mr. World would ask Mister Fool to manifest a wall, and he and I were separated on both sides, each leaning against the wall to communicate... Although the essence is the same now, the confession room is small and dark, and he It really doesn't take women's feelings into consideration at all! Well, if Mr. "World" thinks about it, I will be surprised... Audrey walked to the door of the "confession room" that was not closed while showing a little smile, bent down and got in, her legs Sit on your knees.

After closing the wooden door, Audrey, who was really treating a patient for the first time, suddenly got a little excited.

Being in the dark, she let go of the many rules she usually followed due to the environment and emotions, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, bent her fingers, and tapped on the partition board:

"Hello~ Is Mr. World here?"

Klein, who was sitting cross-legged across from him, was infected by Miss Justice's cheerful tone, and said in a slightly relaxed mood:

"You can start now."

This time, he didn't cover himself with gray mist, but changed into the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow.

Indeed, Mr. World's mental state is not very good, too tense and anxious... Audrey sensed it first, and then used the "soothing" of the "psychiatrist".

Soft invisible fluctuations spread, and Klein suddenly felt like waking up early on a hot summer day and being greeted by a cool morning wind. The heat and annoyance in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Seeing that Mr. World had obviously recovered, Audrey secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked softly:

"Have you had any nightmares lately?"
