"Until one day, the mountain god disappeared and never answered the villagers' prayers. Some people thought that without the protection of the mountain god, the end of the village would come."
"But more than a hundred years later, the village is still alive and well, and even the villagers there still follow the
"We cut through the steep cliffs and opened up a road to the outside world, and our lives became better and better."
Hastur paused for a moment, then smiled and said: "The man who told me the story said something very interesting. He said that life will find its own way."
This is a story with few twists and turns, but the revelation it contains is particularly alarming.
Life will find its own way out. Such a simple sentence caused everyone present to fall into a brief silence.
Would people really be better off without gods?
Audrey also had the idea in her mind that she was a believer of the goddess. Such an idea was undoubtedly treason and blasphemy.
The gods guide the way forward for all living beings. Without them, all living beings will enter the abyss of death and despair.
But deep down she didn't have much confidence to refute Mr. Hasta's words.
Life will find its own way out, and perhaps a world without gods would really be a better world.
Even after the meeting ended tonight, Audrey had not recovered from this sentence. She had been trying to construct a world without God in her mind, imagining what such a world would look like and what kind of life the people there would lead.
"Miss Arrogant, wake up, we should go find the treasure here."
After seeing the others off, Hastur walked over to Audrey, who was clearly in a trance, and called out to her twice.
"Dear President, do you also think that the world without gods would be a better place?"
“That’s a direction worth pondering, isn’t it?”
Hastur did not discuss this issue too much, so as not to let his ideas interfere with Audrey's independent thinking.
"Well, let's go find the treasure!"
Audrey recovered quickly and followed Hastur out of here, passing through another corridor nearby.
Not long after they walked in, they found a white rabbit wearing a black top hat, a black suit, and holding a cane inlaid with rubies the size of a pigeon waiting in front of them. It seemed to have stopped there specifically to wait for them.
When the rabbit gentleman saw the two of them approaching, he smiled and nodded at Hastur, then took off his top hat and bowed deeply.
Then it raised its ruby cane and pointed in the direction of the front left, as if to show them the direction of the treasure house.
"Thank you Mr. Rabbit."
Before Audrey could even say thank you, the elegant and generous Mr. Rabbit in front of her hopped away without looking back.
"Mr. Hasta, do you know this Mr. Rabbit?"
"I guess I know who he is."
Facing Audrey's inquiring eyes, Hastur just chuckled and said, "If I see him again next time, I will tell you about his identity. I believe you will be surprised."
After the conversation, the two followed the guidance of Mr. Rabbit and successfully arrived at the door of the treasure house. With the authority of the president of the Psychological Alchemy Society, Hastur easily opened the door of the treasure house.
"Here is the complete brain of an adult Psychic Dragon!"
"The Dream Catcher's Heart!"
"The crystallization of the mental phantom!"
When Audrey saw the extraordinary materials collected in the treasure house, her eyes, as bright as gems, narrowed up, and she looked a little money-grubber, which was particularly adorable.
After all, the distinguished Miss Audrey has never been short of money.
Hastur just took a quick glance and showed no interest. This place was more like a material warehouse than a treasure house.
The extraordinary materials stored there were only at Sequence 4 level at most, which was not very attractive to him.
"The complete brain of an old psychic dragon. This is the extraordinary material needed to advance to a Sequence 4 operator!"
Audrey began to search and loot, and asked Hastur to help pack up the things that could not be taken away.
Although this is a spiritual world, these things are real and can be used normally as long as they are brought back to the real world.
"Okay, Mr. Hastur, let's go!"
Audrey, who had packed a bunch of extraordinary materials, came to Hastur with satisfaction. She was in a happy mood and stood on tiptoe and kissed Hastur on the right cheek. Before Hastur could react, she ran away quickly.
"Mr. Hasta, hurry up, it would be bad if someone finds out."
Audrey, who was running in front, turned around with a smile and waved to Hastur behind her.
Chapter 510: Nightmare of High-Level Influence
"The Garden of Eden is indeed a dreamy home, and the various psychological phenomena here are also very interesting."
"Of course, the most important thing is to harvest this pile of precious extraordinary materials. After I return, I can prepare the Sequence 5 Dream Walker potion."
"Walking in the dreams of thousands of creatures and witnessing the interesting dreams they weave in the middle of the night, this extraordinary ability is really exciting."
Miss Audrey, who had gained a lot, always had a bright smile on her face as she returned to leave the spiritual world.
"Wow." Susie raised her share.
"Oh, Susie, it's a pity that I only found the brain of an adult psychic dragon in that treasure house just now. I can't make a magic potion for you yet."
Susie, who transformed into a spiritual dragon, lowered her head, as if thinking, could her head at this moment be considered the head of an adult spiritual dragon?
This is a very complex and meaningful subject, and Susie sets her sights on Mr. Hastur.
"Susie, I understand what you are thinking, but it is a pity that your life level is always different from the real spiritual dragon. You can only reveal the spiritual dragon in your dreams."
Hearing this, Susie sighed and flew Hastur and Audrey out of the spiritual world.
After returning to the real world, Audrey opened her eyes and woke up. She looked sideways at Hastur, who was sitting at the head of her bed, and smiled: "Mr. Hastur, enjoy your adventure."
"Although I don't like to say something that is embarrassing at this time, Audrey, we have to put your harvest tonight in your family's treasure house first."
Hastur stretched out his right hand, and Audrey naturally took the back of Hastur's hand and got up from the bed.
Looking at the wall clock, it was just past nine o'clock. At this time, Earl Hall was between the possibility of sleeping and not yet sleeping.
Without Audrey's instructions, Susie naturally opened the door and explored the way first.
After a while, it trotted back again, signaling with its eyes that Earl Hall had fallen asleep.
Audrey relaxed a little and led Hastur to the treasure house of her home. Along the way, Hastur easily used the darkness to hide his existence. Even if he walked in front of the maids, they could not find him.
There are two attendants guarding the entrance of the treasure house carefully. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult not to alarm them.
"Mr. Hastur, let me do it this time."
Audrey did not let Hastur open the travel portal, but walked towards him. With just two simple words, she easily hypnotized the guards to open the treasure house door and made them forget that they had seen her come to the treasure house tonight.
Enter the treasure house of Earl Hall. To be precise, this is just one of the treasure houses.
Several balls of bright but not hot light emerged from the palm of Hastur's palm, allowing them to float over various parts of the treasure house, lighting up the entire treasure house.
There are various collections piled up here, including several shelves of paintings, calligraphy, porcelain and antiques, boxes full of pearls, agates, emeralds and diamonds, precious Chinese medicinal materials such as ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum and fleece multiflorum, as well as strange collections whose origins cannot be identified for a while, and other items. Miscellaneous items…
Hastur glanced at it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
“If Mr. Fool saw this, he might also want to be a thief.”
After thinking about it for a while, Audrey finally chose an empty place to place tonight's harvest.
"There are too many things here and they are too complicated. Count Hall doesn't even remember what is in here. It won't be discovered."
According to Audrey's command, Hastur took the things stolen from the treasury of the Psychological Alchemy Society from the spiritual world and enriched the treasury of Earl Hall's family.
The collections of the Psychological Alchemy Society have not disappeared, they have just been transferred.
After doing all this, Audrey looked at the two large shelves of items in front of her and narrowed her eyes with joy. Speaking of which, this was her first time as a thief.
"Mr. Hastur, is there anything you like here?"
Audrey muttered as she spoke, "Count Hall never cares about the things inside anyway, so it doesn't matter if there are a few missing items."
"I have taken away Earl Hall's most precious collection to date."
Audrey was stunned for a moment, then woke up, with a cute expression of shame and joy on her face.
Finally, Susie's barking came from the treasure house as she was fed a mouthful of dog food.
……
Late at night, Fors, who lived on Williams Street, suddenly had a nightmare. She screamed and was frightened awake by the scene inside. Her little hands fumbled in the darkness to turn on the bedside lamp. The dark bedroom was illuminated, and she panicked. My heart felt relieved.
Next door, Xio, who was awakened by Forsi's nightmare scream, was wearing a set of light yellow translucent pajamas and opened the door to Forsi's room with a key.
"Is this the third nightmare you've had recently?" Xio walked to Forsi's bed and sat down, and thoughtfully poured her a glass of warm water.
"Every dream is different. There seems to be a continuity between them." Forsi took a sip of warm water and waited for a few seconds before continuing: "It's just that every time I wake up, I always forget some key points. place, which leads to intermittent dreams.”
Xio glanced at her angrily, "Tell me, what kind of inhumane persecution did you dream about this time?"
"Nothing compares to the torture you suffered in the devil's oil painting."
Forsi rolled his eyes at Xio, his mood improved a lot, and then he told Xio the content of his dream tonight.
"Perhaps you can talk to Mr. Hastur." Xio was silent for a while before giving his own suggestion.
"But I can't keep bothering Mr. Hastur like this."
"Afraid you can't repay the favor?"
"Ah."
Xio looked Forsi up and down, then reached out and patted her swollen chest, and said with a smile: "Then you can agree with me. Emperor Russell once said that there are no words to repay, you can only I pledge myself to you."
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Hastur already has Miss Audrey and Miss Sharon by his side."
"Tsk, tsk, it seems you have seriously thought about this issue."
"You just know how to make fun of me."
Forsi immediately pinned Xio under her, but after a while, her delicate body was pinned down by Xio, who was good at fighting.
Xio spread her legs, sat astride Fors's thighs, lifted her chin with her hand, leaned forward, got closer and said in a nasty tone: "It seems that Mr. Hasta has no
I have this blessing, so let me enjoy it."
Forsi, who was lying on the bed, just raised his head, glanced at Xio's chest, and said, "Sometimes I really can't tell whether you are facing me or your back."
"Forsi!"
