"I'm just thinking about some issues." Klein gradually returned to the depth that belonged to Mr. World Gehrman Sparrow.
"Miss Justice's life with the winning script in hand is really enviable. I really don't know who will be lucky enough to be your life partner in the future."
The joking words proved that Mr. World's mood was gradually recovering and his psychological treatment had achieved preliminary results.
Audrey was still in a good mood. She smiled and replied, "I have met a partner that I can work with for a lifetime. Meeting him is also my blessing."
"I really want to know what kind of person that is, Miss Justice, would you mind telling me a little bit about it?" After Klein finished speaking, he quickly added: "I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have pried into these private issues of yours."
"It's not that serious." Audrey didn't realize at the first time that this was Mr. World's rhetoric of retreat in order to advance.
I thought he just wanted to change the subject to relieve his anxiety.
A life full of suffering and despair.
"He is very knowledgeable, very profound in mysticism, and impeccably handsome in appearance." Praising Mr. Hastur's behavior in front of others still made Audrey's cheeks blush slightly. .
She gently supported her chin with her right hand, bent her legs, rested her arms on them, and the light in her eyes was as gentle as water.
Maybe it was because of such a dark environment, or maybe it was because she had just heard about Mr. World's suffering, and she wanted to say something from her heart at the moment.
After all, she would not dare to talk about the psychological process of falling in love with him in front of Mr. Hastur like this.
"We met by chance at a party organized by a friend. He left a deep impression on me. That was the beginning of my affection for him."
"When I first entered the mysterious world, I was at a loss and had only a half-understanding. He was the one who guided me in the direction of the mysterious world. He was very reliable and made people feel warm. This is my second love for him. impression."
"Perhaps it is the enigmatic man who makes people more curious. During the period of time I have known him, he has been shrouded in an unsolvable fog. What he presents to people is only a part of him."
"He is lonely. He seems a little out of tune with the surrounding environment and the world. When attending banquets, he often hides in a quiet place alone and watches everything around him from a third-party perspective."
"He said he didn't like being in the spotlight because it was too dazzling and was suitable for people like me, not him."
Lonely, out of place, likes to be alone... Klein accurately grasps these keywords, which is very consistent with the mentality of a time traveler who has just traveled through time.
I had a similar feeling before, but luckily I still had Benson and Melissa accompanying me, and their captain and the others behind me.
With their company, I gradually got out of my loneliness and intolerance and began to actively integrate into the world.
"Mr. World, have I gone too far?" Audrey was a little embarrassed to continue chatting. She always felt like she was going off topic.
It seemed like he was showing off his relationship with Mr. Hastur to poor Mr. World.
"It's very interesting. You don't have to worry about my existence at all." Klein motioned for Audrey to continue.
"I don't understand where his loneliness that seems to come from the depths of his soul comes from. He is obviously not very old." Thinking that it was in this mood that I danced the first dance with Mr. Hastur. , the corners of Audrey's mouth raised slightly, her back leaned against the wall, her posture relaxed, and her eyes showed a look of reminiscence.
"But in my opinion, he is obviously more dazzling than everyone else. Even if he is just sitting quietly aside, my eyes are always looking at him uncontrollably."
"At that time, he was still very poor, and he always showed embarrassment when it came to money. It made me want to throw a large sum of money at him to get a happy mood."
"Later, he took me to experience some small adventures, and we also went to the sea to search for legendary pirate treasures."
"On the journey across the sea
, he took my hand and expressed his love to me in the dim lights of the port street. "
"I wanted to reject his confession at first."
You must have thought about rejecting it, right?
Audrey lowered her head feeling a little guilty, and even her crisp voice became fainter.
She carefully recalled the scene at that time. In the cold night, under the dim street lights, Mr. Hastur just held her hand and said nothing.
It was me who said that: "Holding hands is a matter of a lifetime."
Hey... Mr. Hastur didn't even confess his feelings?
Audrey frowned, with a slightly tangled expression on her face.
Holding hands is a confession!
It’s just that Mr. Hastur is thin-skinned, so he couldn’t say those words.
But you don’t have a thick skin?
She thought about it seriously again and suddenly became a little angry!
"He's such a nice person, why would you want to refuse?" Seeing the voice next door stop, Klein promptly brought up the topic.
"Because he is too mysterious, even if we have been together for a long time, I can't completely see through him. Although everyone has their own little secret, I always feel that the secret in him is particularly heavy."
At this point, Audrey didn't want to continue talking. She didn't want to talk about Mr. Hastur's secrets, even if the other person was a member of the Tarot Society.
If you continue to ask questions, Miss Justice may be alert, so that's all for today.
Klein smiled and said, "Thank you for your enlightenment and treatment tonight. I'll end it here today, okay?"
"Of course, it's not a big problem. When are you free next week, you can have another follow-up visit." Audrey replied briskly.
"If it is convenient, you can prepare some medicine to stabilize your mental state and take it for seven consecutive days. The ingredients are 10 grams of chamomile powder, 5 grams of rosemary powder, and 10 ml of lemon balm extract... Do not reduce your intake of sweets during this period. Come in and relax yourself properly.”
Mr. Hastur is particularly fond of sweets. This should be his way of relaxing his mood.
"What is the consultation fee?"
"We can talk about this topic next time." Audrey stood up with one hand on the wall. She hasn't thought about what she needs yet. She has just been promoted to Sequence 5 Dream Walker and is still a long way from being a Sequence 4 Operator. , not that eager for the extraordinary materials required.
"Thanks again for your help tonight."
Klein used the power of the gray mist to send Miss Justice back to the real world, then gently waved his hand, dispersed the dark confessional, and returned to the Fool's seat at the top of the long bronze table.
There is no doubt that Hastur is the most likely third time traveler!
If he had not witnessed the scene of the light door hanging above the gray fog with his own eyes, he would not have suspected that Hastur was a time traveler. He was really well hidden.
"There is another crucial point. Why is it that only I can come above the gray mist?"
From Russell's diary, it can be inferred that even in his later years, Russell has never been here, otherwise he would definitely regard this place as his last trump card when facing desperate difficulties.
If Hastur is the third time traveler, does he who did not come here already know the cruel truth that the earth can never go back?
You probably don’t know yet.
Perhaps he did not regard returning to his hometown as the meaning of life like himself.
He is already engaged to Miss Audrey, which shows that he is ready to stay in this world for a long time, just like Russell back then.
What about yourself?
"Let's go see Benson and Melissa tomorrow. I miss them a little."
A gentle smile appeared on Klein's face.
Chapter 547 Guidance from the Light
"Susie, I'm so angry suddenly!"
Backlund, Earl Hall's house, Audrey was looking at Susie with an unhappy expression.
"Woof?" Susie yelled cautiously.
"Someone bullied me, will you help me get revenge?"
"Woof!" Susie leaned down at the right time, showing a fierce grin.
"Mr. Hastur, he is the one who made me unhappy. Go and beat him up for me."
"Woof?" Susie wagged her tail and wanted to leave. Isn't it interesting that this young couple insists on tormenting her as a single dog?
Audrey came over, stroked Susie's head, thought for a while and said, "Susie, help me write a letter to Mr. Hastur, and be a little more angry."
"..." Susie raised her head and glanced at Audrey without saying a word.
"Susie, you just agreed to help me vent my anger."
Unable to bear Audrey's plea, Susie finally agreed to the matter.
It has also specially practiced writing letters. It knows that it is difficult for it to write correct handwriting, so it simply only practices simple drawings, using the least amount of ink to draw the most accurate meaning.
When the blank letter paper and ink were ready, Susie stretched out her right front paw, lightly dipped a little ink, and then began to draw seven or eight strokes on the letter paper.
"Susie..." After seeing the pattern drawn by Susie clearly, Audrey had a strange expression on her face, and finally couldn't help but let out a clear and sweet laugh.
"That's it. It's a very interesting painting."
Audrey affirmed Susie's efforts and blew the whistle that Hastur gave her to summon the messenger.
A bird with fiery red feathers opened the passage to the spirit world and came. Although it looked the same as before, Audrey still noticed that it was different from before.
The body is slightly unreal, and the light in the eyes is not that bright. This should be a clone of it.
Mr. Hastur even has his own clone of the messenger...
Audrey still collected the letter and gave it to the little firebird so that it could be delivered to Mr. Hastur's location.
Hastur had told her before that if his messenger was busy, he would help deliver the message in other ways, but she didn't expect it to be true.
……
The Kingdom of Feneport, with the spread of war in the southern continent, has long lost its previous peace and harmony.
The fields full of crops have now become the best strategic materials for the southern continent's invading army, and the fertile land has become a battlefield where war horses and artillery fire gallop.
The ruthlessness of war enveloped the entire Feneport Kingdom at this moment.
Yinsen City is a town located on the southern side of the Kingdom of Feneport. When the war spread, the stubborn resistance of the defenders here attracted waves of artillery fire from the southern continent.
The once bustling streets were riddled with holes, and the church belonging to the Mother Earth was also burned down by a fire.
When the iron heel of war goes away, only a dead ruin filled with gunpowder smoke is left.
After nightfall, not to mention using electricity for lighting, even raising a bonfire for heating is a luxury.
In the central square of the town, the mayor, who was still alive, called the survivors together, built a fire with planks taken from the dilapidated houses, and roasted some peanuts and red beans that had just been dug out of the ground.
Crops such as potatoes can barely fill the stomach.
No one wanted to speak at such a moment, there were only muffled sobs and the crackling sound of the wood being burned.
Silence and an atmosphere of despair enveloped the place.
The grain that was originally stored in their town for a year has been confiscated as strategic materials. After the baptism of war, grain has become their most scarce material currently.
The Earth Mother Goddess is in charge of reproduction, planting, and life. Her devout followers will one day worry about food and even starve to death.
