Chapter 499 Thunder

776

"Mr. Richard, this rain is making me feel chilly."

Audrey speeded up to keep up with Richard. Richard grabbed a stone on the ground and turned it into an umbrella. He stood in the middle and protected his subordinates and doctors from the heavy rain. Audrey stretched out her hand from the area covered by the umbrella, touched the rain again, and couldn't help but said sadly:

"My spiritual perception and perception have become weak. There may be a battle next, and I don't know if I can still help."

Only under the umbrella could she feel that her spiritual perception was functioning normally, but once it spread out and came into contact with the heavy rain curtain, she felt nothing at all.

Now the rain has reached a frightening level, almost equivalent to pouring water on the ground.

It rained heavily, and there were already two to three centimeters of water in the ground. Along the sloping streets, it gathered on the ground to form one stream after another with rapid water flow. There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, and there was no need to say who was benefiting from this environment.

Since such a favorable scene has been arranged, the gods should not condescend to attack this small country...

Audrey looked up. Although her own perception could not penetrate the rain, she saw that Richard still looked left and right from time to time, stretched out his hand to grab something in the air, and then several or a dozen finger-sized objects appeared in his hand. rag doll. He stuffed all the dolls into his pocket, grabbing at least hundreds of them along the way, but his pocket was not full.

Was it packed in, or was it transported to another place? The prisoner pathway seems to be very good at sealing and suppressing spirituality. It is not surprising that this pocket is something with a teleportation function, just like a "traveler's backpack"...

Audrey took a few more glances, but she felt panicked when she thought that she was about to encounter an extraordinary person from the Church of the God of Thunder.

The "psychiatrist" of Sequence 5 clenched her fist vigorously - she was powerful, and had pretty good power, but she didn't know if she would still wield it when facing the "authority" she had been using since childhood and ancient times. The courage to punch out.

The rain is getting heavier...

After hearing her words, Taufik, who was already holding back a burst of anger, was immediately furious.

As a Fusac mixed-race child, Richard was taller than both of them, but in order to prevent Miss Letty Orr, the smallest of the three, from getting caught in the rain, Richard almost put the umbrella over his head. As a result, Taufik did not dare to move and could only stand with stiff shoulders.

A person has to lower his head under an umbrella, but his mouth does not lower his head:

"I told you before that if you stay here you will only cause trouble!"

"Go back as soon as possible. If you don't leave, are you waiting to be buried with the rest of us? Don't expect anyone to collect your body!"

He thought that he had made a rather vicious curse. Only the people from the Southern Continent would be buried with the Northern Continent. How could the nobles from the Northern Continent be buried with the lower-class people from the Southern Continent?

This will definitely make her want to go home!

"I..." Audrey said, wanting to say that she was indeed afraid, but what she was afraid of was death, not dying with you.

Immediately afterwards, Tawfik was hit lightly on the back of the head, and the Temperance Angel said to Audrey in a leisurely manner: "I'm sorry, this kid is like this. He has been tough-talking and stubborn since he was a child. He used to When he was wearing clothes, others said he was wearing red, but he insisted on saying he was wearing brown-grey. He would talk back to anyone who said so, and got into several fights. After a checkup, it was discovered that this kid was born with red-green color blindness. "

Taufik was like a thunderbolt, and his expression suddenly turned into a smile.

His mask was broken and he threw it away, and now he wanted to tear off a piece of his clothes and cover his face.

...Mr. Richard, your ability to liven up the atmosphere is really strong... Audrey's face was complicated, and she felt slightly embarrassed that she had heard a little secret that she didn't want to pry into. Richard led the two of them forward as if nothing had happened, adding by the way:

"Later, I drank the magic potion and was cured."

Neither of them answered, and the sound of rain echoed in their ears.

Richard seemed to ask Audrey casually: "Do you really want to stay here? To be honest, I invited you here to improve the mental state of the psychopaths here. You don't need to participate in our battle. That’s right.”

"Audrey, what is the purpose of your participation? If you want to challenge yourself, there is no need to be so anxious, and you don't have to choose now."

Hmm... Richard knew that this child was an outlier among the nobility, but not that outlier.

After having sufficient material conditions, people will naturally begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction.

Obviously, the spiritual satisfaction that Miss Audrey in front of her pursues is not luxury, not gorgeous clothes, jewelry and ostentation, not waste, not status and power, but relatively simple help and kindness. She is happy to do these things and is good at doing these things. Even if she is unable to let go due to her own conditions at first, she always accepts it quickly.

Richard's expression remained normal and he looked around.

"3." He thought silently in his heart.

He kept walking forward, and Tawfik noticed a few traces of blood sliding past his feet, carried by the rain, and soon disappeared.

“…I want to witness something with my own eyes.”

Audrey hesitated and said:

"To tell you the truth, I am still scared. I am very scared. Mr. Richard, I am so afraid that I will really die here. I will suddenly die in my nap for no apparent reason. My parents and brothers are crying for me. My friends are here. Attend my funeral.”

And Susie, and everyone in the Tarot Society...

"I'm so afraid I'll never see them again."

What does death feel like? Audrey didn't know and couldn't imagine it.

She is too young. Even for an ordinary person, she has only completed about a quarter of her life. Medical resources were tilted towards her, and even during the war, she could go to relatives in other countries to save her life... She didn't need to think about this matter, but now she had to think about it.

If she dies in divine punishment, she will definitely not be able to go to the goddess' kingdom.

If she had not died in divine punishment, would she have been able to go to the Kingdom of God in the future, and would she have been able to sleep with her father, mother, elders and brothers?

Richard yawned and asked again:

"Then why do you want to stay? It's too late to leave now. If a fight breaks out later, you should know that thunder can cause near-fatal damage to spirits."

Taufik left the group silently for a while. He followed the blood trail and saw three Church of the Storm priests who had broken their own necks. Their hands were tightly holding both sides of their temples, and their necks were twisted more than a dozen times, which was half a meter long. Their heads were facing inland, as if they had just arrived.

Taufik opened his mouth and ate their spiritual bodies, erasing all traces, and then accelerated the extraction of extraordinary characteristics and brought them with him.

"I think it's too dangerous for you to stay."

Richard said: "You should leave, leave immediately."

While chatting and laughing, Richard broke the neck of a saint who had the bad luck to bump into him, and walked forward with him in his hand, looking for a suitable place to dump the body. His fingers dug deeply into the flesh of the deceased, causing the body to quickly dry up without any blood flowing out. Audrey's spirituality was limited and she didn't notice anything else at her feet.

Just a little while longer... He thought, just a little while longer, to attract the pope. Share their stress.

As a noble of Loen, she is willing to come to the colony, instead of taking it for granted that "the people of the Northern Continent have given this place civilization, jobs and modern construction", or treating the people here as livestock and wild beasts. Quite excellent.

Therefore, if such people want to go further, experience the colonial system itself, and challenge their own identity, there is no need to choose this dangerous moment.

Rationally speaking, Richard felt that it would be a pity for Audrey to die like this. Emotionally speaking, He didn't mind taking her further into danger and then destroying her container at the most dangerous moment.

"There's just some hesitation, hesitation and confusion."

"This is normal. Everyone will do this before they really make up their mind. Unless it is in the face of principles and bottom lines, anything done to escape can be understood." Richard said peacefully.

Audrey did not respond directly to this topic, but instead said with a slight smile:

"Since I became an 'audience', I always show the most receptive side to others and take care of their most delicate emotions. This is not a bad thing, but in this way, I cannot know the truest version of myself in others. No matter how it looks in the eyes, you can't peel off the gorgeous clothes, see the rotten flesh and blood hidden underneath, and you can't figure out what the problem is.

"I have recently been trying to reveal my true state in some details, to see what the attitude of the people around me would be in the current situation, to see if they still think I am the kind, kind, noble lady, or Lai Dr. T. Orr.”

Tawfik returned to the team quietly, as if he had never left.

At this point, she suddenly fell silent, and after a few seconds she sighed softly:

"The chasm..."

"heavy……"

"Stinging..."

"ashamed……"

Richard listened quietly and did not comment on Miss Audrey's words.

"...The emperor of Loen who failed to be promoted but survived may have a hostile relationship with the God of Thunder. The God of Thunder made the Pope serve as the temporary emperor, but in fact he was indifferent to the subsequent selection of the royal family. It was obvious that he planned to attack That emperor’s original order.”

Because He was thinking about something else.

He has not yet sensed the emergence of a strong person from the "Judge" or "Lawyer" path. In other words, this should be a unilateral action by the God of Thunder, emphasizing the majesty and power of the church and having nothing to do with the secular order.

"Hehehehe, that emperor will definitely not let go of the colonies... Even if the divine power and the imperial power are hostile, they still have the same position and interests..."

Audrey did not ask for any feedback from the other party. She just shook her head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I can no longer see myself clearly, or I am not sure that what I see is me. I usually cover up and avoid it. Some of the details are presented, and you can see clearly what the real me looks like in the eyes of others."

"I can only say that my time as Dr. Letty Orr was a very relaxing and happy time."

"I don't need to be bound by my identity, etiquette or blood. It doesn't matter if I roll in the sandpit with the children. It doesn't matter if I use some force against disobedient patients. There will be no bodyguards to pull me away. There will be no one. Say it’s against the rules.”

After a pause, she moved her lips with a smile and said:

"However, I can only maintain this status, because once I show my noble status, it will cause chaos."

"Also, well, my country is also a little weak, which should be the reason why the gods took action here. I just said that it was easy to help others, but when I actually did it, I found that I didn't The law is as resolute and decisive as I imagined."

"Some of them are my uncles and aunts, some are my cousins, some are friends I have known since childhood, some are elders who take great care of me, and some are quite friendly people who I often meet at various banquets and charity events. They constitute My childhood has given me so much and is part of my growth, carrying my beautiful memories of the past..."

"Moreover, none of the food they accumulated was obtained by robbery. Their explanation is actually somewhat reasonable."

Richard raised his head, and the hemp rope around Tawfik's wrist moved.

"These are really a bunch of bad relatives. Can you tell me their names?" Richard asked with a smile.

Audrey shook her head decisively.

"Let me target them like this and try to deprive them of part of their wealth (or even make them lose their lives). I really can't do it, at least for now."

When saying these words, Audrey's voice became louder unconsciously, as if she was arguing with someone.

She immediately noticed her little gaffe, and was silent for two seconds before continuing:

"So, I want to understand myself more deeply, peel off the illusion of warmth, and ask myself what I really want under the gaze of different eyes. Are my past thoughts impulsive, hypocritical, naive, or come from the heart? strong thoughts.”

"That's why I haven't left yet. If I leave now, I will definitely miss a lot of things."

Having said this, "Justice" Audrey suddenly smiled:

"I used to think that I strictly abided by the rule of 'you are just acting,' but now I realize that I was almost addicted to acting."

"Unlike other pathways that require you to play different identities and professions, some of the roles in the 'audience' pathway are completely integrated with your daily life, and sometimes it is difficult to tell them clearly."

"The simplest example, who doesn't desire to be loved by everyone? Therefore, I will put on different personality masks when facing different people, and use the ability of the 'audience' channel to create an image that best meets the other person's wishes. When There are more and more things like this, and when you do it in front of everyone, you are actually addicted to 'acting' and are about to lose yourself."

Audrey was silent for a while, then slowly said:

"During this period, I have experienced many things differently than before."

"Before the war, many poor people, workers and farmers actually lived a difficult life similar to today, suffering from hunger and pain for a long time. The changes to the Poor Law, mandatory regulations on working hours and environment, and the control of air pollution did bring about There were some improvements, but only a few... But after the war, nothing changed."

"When the war is over, if, if we don't make changes, will similar things happen again?"

As she spoke, Audrey pursed her lips tightly and fell into silence.

Richard breathed out easily. Faced with Audrey's confusion and confusion, he considered it for a moment. Without saying the answer in his heart, he asked a little tactfully:

"Do you think everyone will live a good life now that these people are dead?"

The thunder in the sky suddenly became louder, as if there was a roar coming from far and near.

Richard sneered, judged the direction, then looked at Audrey's dull expression, shrugged, and smiled in a relaxed tone:

"Do you understand? You need to find the answers to your questions, including your truest thoughts just mentioned."

"You have done a great job. The prayers that take place in the hospital are more religious than in any church."

"Next, even if you become a farmer, a poor man, or a homeless person, you will probably get mostly negative feedback. But what you want is a solution, not a pile of despair."

Audrey listened intently, nodded seriously and said:

"But I'm going to try to do it."

Good. Richard thought, and then He handed the umbrella to Tawfik and left Audrey under the umbrella.

"Since you are a witness, you should not participate in the angel's battle." Richard said, "Take her to another town. Save as many as you can."

"Forcible repatriation if necessary, don't worry about what she thinks."

——————

With that said, Richard's figure disappeared from the material world and appeared directly in the spiritual world.

At his first glance, he saw a gorgeous triple crown. At his second glance, he saw a middle-aged man with black hair and a peaceful expression. Finally, he saw a red moon and stars hanging in the sky, and the moonlight was like a sickle.

"It's really interesting." Richard said, "Two hundred years ago, I would never have imagined that I would have such a grand event."
