Chapter 117 Consultation Fee
nightmare? Klein considered for two seconds and said:
"Have.
"I would dream of a small town shrouded in mist, and the red moon in the mid-air was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.
"In the center of this small town, there is a black church full of dead bodies, wearing clothes of different ages, shaking gently with the wind, making strange noises.
"In addition to these, there is also a beautiful woman with bloody human flesh hanging between her teeth, and a mushroom man made up of countless small mushrooms..."
In order to treat psychological problems, Klein restored his dream in a relatively complete way, but did not explain that it was a real experience, did not disclose that he knew the identity of the beautiful woman and the origin of the weird mushroom, and at the same time, he concealed the transparent worm The existence of regiment and Zaratul.
Audrey listened earnestly and intently. Based on her extraordinary intuition and double knowledge of mystic psychology, she said while thinking:
"Mr. World, I can imagine the horror and strangeness of these dream scenes, and I can also experience the great fear that will wake you up."
Seeing that the other party across the wooden board did not refute, Audrey became more confident, quietly made a new round of "pacification", and began to "guidance":
"The fear in dreams often comes from the hidden emotions in the heart, and most of the time there are only two sources of hidden fear in the heart, one is the unknown, and the other is irresistible.
"Those scary things you see in your dreams are just appearances. What you are really afraid of is what they represent, symbolize, and hide behind the scenes."
While talking, Audrey suddenly asked:
"what is that?"
Klein was following Miss Justice's soft and sweet voice, relaxing a little bit, and examining his heart a little bit, when he heard such a question, he subconsciously replied:
"It's the existence that created all of this."
He paused for a second, then added hesitantly:
"They are both unknown and irresistible."
At this time, Klein already understood the real reason for his nightmare and poor mental state:
He was instinctively afraid of some things, and instinctively had hidden negative emotions.
The former includes not only the horrific performance of the transparent worm and Zaratul, but also the inexplicable actions of the rubber eraser angel and the fact that he successfully used the dark holy emblem to "open the door". It's the unknown feeling of a friend who's plotting something.
Yes, I am afraid of the group of transparent worms that are suspected to be the "Servant of Mysteries" in the "Seer" pathway Sequence 1, I am afraid of Zaratul who has achieved some purpose with the help of "opening the door", I am afraid of the goddess with unknown thoughts, and the rubber eraser Angel... Klein let out a breath slowly, admitting his fear from the bottom of his heart.
Audrey used "Comfort" again, and found that Mr. World's mental tension had been relieved in essence. She was overjoyed and boldly said:
"A major source of fear is lack of self-confidence. If you think about it, have you ever been negligent or made a mistake in related matters, which caused your spirit to keep reminding you and hinting at you, and gradually evolved into a part of the nightmare."
Negligence, mistakes, spiritual reminders... Klein pondered Miss Justice's words, and carefully sorted out the details of the things he was afraid of.
Soon, his expression darkened a little bit, and he found a problem:
When I signed the oath through the Holy Sword and under the witness of the Goddess, although I had not yet become a "clown", the power of the gray mist was far from entering the real world, and could not be detected by special gods, demigods, and spirit world creatures, but it was difficult to hide it. A Beyonder who has passed the "fate", that is, the "monster" path.
And the goddess also has a title called "Queen of Misfortune and Fear",
He is in charge of bad luck and belongs to one of the gods in the field of destiny!
So, did you start being watched at that time?
Klein's mind settled down a little bit, and the fear of the unknown seemed to be relieved for the most part.
He didn't answer, and didn't wait for Miss Justice to speak again, instead he asked:
"What would you do if you were facing one, or even several, difficult enemies?"
Audrey was not annoyed by being asked back by the patient, but instead thought it was a good sign, and said after deliberation:
"Dodge first, hide first, and work hard to improve yourself."
"What if the time gained by dodging and hiding can't allow you to grow enough to face the enemy?" Klein asked, "What if the gap between the two sides is difficult to bridge?"
Audrey half appeased half seriously replied:
"Find enough helpers."
Helper... Several names suddenly flashed in Klein's mind, and he settled down a lot in his heart, so he continued to ask:
"Even if you have a helper, you still can't fight the enemy?
"What if some helper is planning something that may benefit you or harm you?"
Audrey was at a loss for a while, and after a few seconds, she thought about it and replied:
"You can pray to the gods."
She almost said "World", you can ask Mister Fool for help.
And the question and answer just now convinced Audrey of one thing, that is, Mr. World's mental problems are mainly caused by a powerful and terrifying enemy, but deep down there are some worries brought about by the unknown position of "helpers".
Pray to the gods... Klein didn't dare to say directly that if the gods couldn't solve the problem, it would be even more difficult to guess the thoughts of the gods. After all, this is the country of the "fools", and he himself is a favored one.
He organized the following language:
"The gods can only help in certain ways, and isn't that enough?"
…Audrey originally wanted to say that there is always a way, that justice will defeat evil, but it was difficult to convince herself, and it was difficult to find corresponding examples as a reference. In the end, she pursed her lips and said:
"I have no idea……"
In the "confession room", it was dark and silent, and the two of them didn't speak for a while, as if they were caught in different inner struggles.
Finally, Audrey broke the silence and looked at the boardwalk separating the two:
"No matter what, you have to do something, do something hard, and you can't just give up like that and don't resist."
That's right... At least I still have a lot of secrets and some reliance... Klein closed his eyes, leaned against the wooden board, and his thoughts gradually turned back to the recent matter. His whole body was no longer tense and anxious all the time.
Audrey sensed the change in this aspect, and immediately added "comfort". After doing this, Klein's mental state was completely restored.
"I feel much better. Thank you for your treatment. How much do you need for consultation?" Klein asked proactively.
In fact, I should thank you for providing the case... Audrey didn't really want to collect the consultation fee. Looking at the dividing board in the deep darkness, she couldn't help but recall Mr. World's usually gloomy, cold, sophisticated and ruthless behavior.
Hmm... His mental problems should also be caused by his own personality... Audrey suddenly had an inspiration, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up:
"I need very little consultation money.
"Well, wish me happiness!"
……what's the situation? Klein was stunned for a moment, almost forgetting that he was wearing a Gehrman Sparrow avatar.
He has never heard of such a request!
Klein hesitated for a while, and finally pretended to be cold as "The World" and said:
"Since you asked so...
"Wish you happy."
Audrey's smile suddenly became brighter:
"I wish you happiness too!
"Mr. World, don't always keep things in your heart. Smile more and be happier, which can eliminate many hidden dangers.
"Okay, your mental problem has been resolved, but you have to have a follow-up visit in a few days or next week."
Klein didn't know how to respond, so he could only give a simple "hmm".
Then, he heard the door on the opposite side creak open, and from the perspective of The Fool, he saw Miss Justice exit the "confession room" and straighten her body.
After letting the other party return to the real world, Klein didn't dare to stay above the gray mist for too long, and soon left here, lying on his own bed.
At this moment, after recovering his mental state and relaxing physically and mentally, he realized one thing, that is, he had digested a lot of the potion of "Master Puppet", and the progress far exceeded expectations!
Is this because in the foggy town, relying on the "Secret Puppet" to deceive the demigod Panatia, and manipulate her and Mr. A to complete the performance as expected? Therefore, in addition to "should try to be behind the scenes" and "make each secret puppet have its own personality to make it more real", the "Secret Puppet Master" rules also include "guiding by your own secret puppet, manipulating the enemy, put on a puppet show"? Klein murmured to himself thoughtfully, thinking that he might be able to digest the potion within this year.
He exhaled emotionally, turned his head sideways, looked at the crimson moonlight penetrating the curtain, and said silently:
"The missing servant should have been found, and the clues I left should have been discovered..."
…………
Underground of St. Samuel's Church, Leonard, Cindy, Bob and others looked at Captain Soest, who had returned from the meeting, and patiently waited for him to introduce new clues.
Soest drank the mellow coffee and said:
"The missing servant has been found.
"In the room where he was placed, there were some clothes left by the infiltrators.
"It has been confirmed that this belongs to the crazy adventurer Gehrman Sparrow who was active at sea before."
Why is a crazy adventurer involved again... Leonard was slightly surprised, and asked directly:
"When did he come to Backlund?"
"No one knows. The only thing that is certain is that this crazy adventurer has appeared at sea in recent weeks and hunted down some pirates." Soest said in a slow-paced manner, "The Church of the Storm knows More, MI9 also seems to know a lot, and the higher-ups will send someone to contact them."
Soest had just finished his confession when a telegram came in.
It comes from the "Nighthawks" team in Disey County, and the decoded content is:
"Dwayne Dantès' current identity is false. He has accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on adventures in the Southern Continent for the past ten years... Further confirmation will take time, because it is very chaotic, there are frequent wars, and the region belongs to change frequently."
