Chapter 2 The Meaning of Existence

In Audrey's view, the current state of Mr. "World" is not mentally ill, and it will not lead to loss of control. It is just that the purpose of life and the meaning of existence have been shattered, resulting in certain psychological obstacles. , help him establish short- and medium-term goals, find the meaning of life step by step, and the problem will gradually be solved.

In the peaceful and dark silence, Audrey heard Gehrman Sparrow on the other side of the wall reply in a low voice:

"No."

Sure enough, not... Audrey was not surprised, and asked along the way:

"Then did he search for his family's last words? Did he search for their graves? Did he try to figure out the reason for his deep sleep?"

Behind the wall, the spirit body seemed to disappear for a few seconds without any movement. After a while, the hoarse voice said slowly:

"No, not yet."

Not yet...that is to say, there will be in the future? Audrey's heart lightened up, because she could clearly feel that Gehrman Sparrow's emotional state was no longer so gloomy and gloomy, as if he lacked interest in everything, and he already had a certain amount of motivation to produce There was a little urgency, but it was still rather confused.

Seizing the opportunity, Audrey used "Comfort" again, and the effect this time was much better than before. At least she believed that Mr. World had escaped from the sinking abyss of depression and returned to the normal state of being depressed. state.

Next, Audrey didn't discuss how to find the traces or investigate the cause, because it might bring conflicts. She nodded naturally in the dark confession room and said:

"Well, there are still many things that can be done, and many problems that need to be made up! Maybe there is still a chance to meet someone with the same blood? Maybe his family has not died of old age, but has lived to this day for some reason? So meaningful, because there are infinite possibilities.

"In the process of searching, we should also not ignore the surrounding scenery. Life is not only one avenue, but also many branch roads and alleys. If only the former exists, it would be so monotonous. You must know how to touch and go To see, to discover..."

Audrey, who was trying to remember the appropriate words in various books, suddenly thought of something, and said in a soft voice:

"and also,

Don't put on that thick mask. "

The thinner and more transparent ones don’t matter, because in the communication between people, no one does not wear a mask at all, and no one likes to directly show the more private and bad parts of themselves, which is not only for self-protection , is also respect for others... When Mr. "World" has certain friends, life will naturally reconstruct a new meaning... Audrey silently added a few words in her heart, but she didn't say it in the end, because she I think this is too straightforward, and it may have a bad effect.

As she expected, Gehrman Sparrow fell silent again, still quite confused.

After a few seconds, a voice that was no longer so hoarse came over:

"Thank you for your enlightenment and treatment."

"No, it all stems from your inner strength." Audrey replied seriously.

She used "comfort" again at the end to ensure that Mr. "World"'s mental state was close to normal and there would be no repetitions.

She immediately heard Gehrman Sparrow say:

"I'll end here today, okay?"

Audrey adjusted her tone again, and replied briskly:

"Of course, this is not a serious problem. When will you be free next week, I will make a follow-up visit.

"Also, if possible, prepare some potions to stabilize the mental state and take them for seven consecutive days. The ingredients are 10 grams of chamomile powder, 5 grams of rosemary powder, and 10 milliliters of lemon balm extract... During this time, don't lower your appetite for sweets. Take it in, relax yourself properly..."

In the dark and quiet confessional room, she stood up slowly with her hands on the wall.

At this time, Gehrman Sparrow's voice penetrated the wall and said:

"What is the consultation fee?"

Audrey leaned on the wall with one hand, tilted her head slightly and thought about it:

"Let's talk about it after I get the potion formula of Sequence 5 of the 'spectator' pathway, then I may have to ask you to help me collect materials.

"If the Psychological Alchemy Club provides the materials together, well..."

The corner of her mouth curled up a little bit and said:

"When you return to Backlund from the Southern Continent, remember to bring me a gift of local specialties."

Ultra-luxury coffin for eight people carrying thin and light travel? Klein on the other side of the wall had an inexplicable urge to complain, then stood up along the wall, and sent Miss Justice back to the real world.

After waving his hand to make the confessional room disappear, he returned to the top of the long bronze table and sat in the seat that belonged to The Fool.

On the table in front of him, on the right are three cards of blasphemy, "Dark Emperor", "Tyrant" and "Red Priest". Send back "squirming hunger".

"I owe Miss Messenger another 10,000 gold coins..." Klein withdrew his gaze, raised his right hand and rubbed his forehead.

In order to prevent Ince Zangwill from escaping through the spirit world, before planning this murder, he communicated with Reinette Tinekerr and asked her to be responsible for expelling the spirit world creatures in the area around the Resurrection Square. The price is still 10,000 gold coins.

The only thing that surprised him was that "0-08" was more terrifying than expected. When Ince Zangwill suffered from the "curse of God" and was consumed by Adam, the king of angels, for the first time Trying to "lure" an unknown creature capable of breaking through Reinette Tinekerr's blockade. If Daly Simone hadn't forced a psychic to sign a contract, Ince Zangwill might have escaped just like that .

Of course, even if Ince Zangwill escapes successfully while carrying the "God's Curse", there is a high probability that he will encounter other disasters in the future, such as being thrown into a more dangerous place by that unknown creature, or directly Inflict damage, but that's out of Klein's control.

Remembering the debt of another 10,000 gold coins, Klein had a headache for a while, but his mental state improved a lot.

——Climbing up the gray cloud along the ladder of light, seeing the "gate of light" and seeing those "cocoons", his spirit was hit like a flood breaking a dike, and he felt that all his expectations were shattered, and he was originally mature His outlook on the world, life, and values ​​collapsed, and he became muddled, like a living corpse.

Fortunately, he still had the instinct to survive, so he promptly requested treatment from his personal psychiatrist, Miss Justice Audrey.

Phew... Klein exhaled, and forced himself to turn his thoughts back to those "cocoons". When he saw such a picture, his intuitive reaction was:

A certain extremely high-level existence, or a certain sealed item, at the same time, used different methods to capture a large number of people from the earth. Among them, some used the transfer ceremony, some bought strange silver medals, and some The mobile phone has a weird virus...

Then, the souls of these traversers are sealed in the "cocoon" and hung on the "light gate", waiting for a certain opportunity to appear, and then sent into the real world.

According to Klein's observation, the "light gate" currently has no intelligence and operates purely on instinct, that is to say, as long as the conditions are met, it will catalyze a "silkworm cocoon" and send the soul body inside to the body of a specific target .

From the current point of view, Klein guesses that there are probably two conditions that need to be met:

Firstly, there is no other traverser in front, or that traverser has been judged to have failed or died; secondly, the "call" of a certain thing, a certain item, or a certain ritual, just like Klein Moretti's It's the same as the black divination done in the Tigonus family's notes.

"As for whether there are other things, I don't know, unless I find the corresponding content in Emperor Roselle's diary... Based on all aspects of the situation, my current speculation should be very close to the truth. In this way, we can It explains very well why the emperor and I were in the same era on earth, with a difference of not more than one year, but it was over two hundred years ago when we crossed over... Because, we traveled at the same time, but were "cast" in different ages! After entering Before the real world, the Great Emperor and I have been sleeping for an unknown number of years... the brother in the next shop?" Klein leaned back on the back of the chair, his eyes flickered slightly and then returned to gloomy.

This is a rough judgment he made based on the state of "Guangmen", his own situation, and the emperor's diary.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no other possibilities, but at present, Klein cannot find other evidence to support it. For example, a "silkworm cocoon" may mean the life of the traverser, but this contradicts Klein's increasingly difficult recovery, and His spiritual body has not changed contradictions.

And if his speculation is not much different from the truth, it means that it has been at least two hundred years or even thousands of years since he left the earth and traveled here. .

Compared with the distance of space, the barrier of time is more desperate.

This is what caused Klein's mental state to collapse. "Going home" has always been his ultimate goal.

"Miss Justice is right. There are still many problems to be solved and explored... What is the meaning of that "light gate" hanging so many traversers? What is the purpose? Who arranged everything back then, la So many people came here? Where did they go now? Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun?" Klein tried his best to put himself into a state of thinking in order to find his future goal again.

It's a pity that he can only approach the "light gate" at present, unable to touch it, grasp it, or even see it clearly. For the time being, he has no ability to do research, and it is difficult to obtain the most direct information.

"Consider looking for clues from the real world...Also, since you have reached Sequence 4, you can climb the gray cloud and see the 'light gate', then when you reach Sequence 2, there will be another qualitative change. Take control of the 'Light Gate', and figure out the reason?

"Hehe, infected by the attitudes of Qiguang, Goddess, and Arrods, I almost thought that I was really the master of the gray mist, a great master of the spirit world, but now it seems that I was just randomly If you choose the 'experiment' that was dropped, if you fail, the next traverser will appear..." Klein said silently, tapping the edge of the long bronze table with his fingers.

Another point he is curious about is:

Three broken "cocoons", one represents himself, one represents the emperor, and the other represents who.
