Mystery: Start with the Reader

"This is a secret technique developed by a big cat named 'Lion' to assist in experiments. It is an improvement on some of the 'Wizard's' witchcraft, allowing extraordinary people from other ways to perform it... Specifically, it is with the help of The ritual allows one's 'astral spirit body' to have a certain ability to interfere with reality..."

Abner explained and demonstrated several times in front of Audrey and Susie.

According to his thoughts, this secret technique is actually not complicated. Some Sequence 9s with strong spirituality can learn it quickly, let alone a "psychiatrist" and a "mind reader" in front of him.

Audrey tried it, but found that the actual operation was far more difficult than Mr. Blaine said...

She can afford spirituality, but the precise control of spirit and spiritual power is not what she is good at. Not to mention condensing it into a "hand" for precise operations, it is difficult to even barely form it.

It seems that I am not a genius in this area...

After calming down her slightly depressed mood, Audrey turned her beautiful emerald eyes in Susie's direction and observed her carefully. As soon as the other party gives up, she will immediately comfort the other party with the same state of failure, lest it be hit, and add disappointment after having expectations. Such a gap is likely to cause psychological problems!

"But it doesn't matter. Miss Audrey, the 'psychiatrist', is ready and can be 'comforted' at any time! Well, I prefer the name 'psychoanalysis', which seems more professional."

Just when Audrey's thoughts were wandering, Susie's voice suddenly sounded in her ears:

"Audrey, I succeeded!"

After saying that, the glassware moved out of thin air under Susie's control and was assembled.

"This is a little more difficult than vibrating the air with spirituality. It took me three attempts to succeed." Susie put down the utensil, turned her head, and shook her tail.

"..." Audrey didn't know what to say for a moment.

Miss Justice was actually killed by her dog Versailles... Abner, who was standing aside and watching the excitement, suddenly became "joyed" and felt that this scene should be "recorded" and shared with Xio and Forsi.

However, looking at Audrey who was "shocked" and had some doubts about her life, Abner still comforted her "kindly": "This is a secret technique developed by extraordinary animals. It is normal for similar people to learn it quickly."

Hearing this, Susie said in surprise: "Audrey, haven't you learned it yet? Well... I can give you a few more demonstrations..."

"No need for now, our time is limited, you should prepare the potion yourself first." Audrey was silent for a few seconds before saying to Susie with a smile.

Then, she turned her head and took a serious look at Abner, realizing that the image of Mr. "Tower" in her mind that was knowledgeable, generous, powerful, and mysterious had collapsed.

But I have to say that this kind of counterparty has a more realistic feel, unlike in the "Tarot Club" where it was just a collection of "tags" piled up one after another.

If Mr. "Tower" is like this, then my previous judgments about Mr. "The Hanged Man", Mr. "The World", Ms. "The Hermit", Miss "Judgment", Miss "Temperance" and others may not be correct...

Maybe Mr. "World"'s cold appearance is the ultimate tenderness; maybe Miss Temperance's cold appearance is a fiery heart; maybe Mr. "The Hanged Man"'s shell full of calculations and interests is sincerity and principle. ;Perhaps Miss "Judgement" is immature and naive under the disguise of maturity...

After all, people are complex and have many different "faces"...

Recalling the private conversations and thoughts of the servants at the manor that Susie always shared with her, Audrey gained a new understanding.

Thinking about it carefully, in the "Tarot Society", apart from the "moon" and "sun", the only thing I am sure to see through is the most familiar "magician" Forsi...

When Audrey sighed, Susie had already prepared the potion and started licking it.

Because she is relatively unnoticed, she can run around the manor and villa at will, listen to other people's private discussions, "read" the real thoughts of the maids, and "act" very well, so there are almost no abnormalities. Susie successfully became a "psychiatrist".

Abner also received feedback at this time, and the digestion progress improved again.

…

At the same time, in the mysterious palace above the gray fog, Klein was enduring mental "pain" and reading the diary of the young lady named Abby.

"The five survivors of that experiment all gained some kind of 'special' ability.

"Abby's condition makes people 'painful'... As long as you have physical contact with her, you will experience incomparable 'pain' in the next few days... This 'pain' may be physical, or It may be in the mind, but not necessarily...

"The ability of another woman named Bianca is unknown, but as far as Abby knows, anyone who has 'bullied' her and tried to mind control her will not end well in the end.

"Lofiya's whereabouts are unknown, but her ability is also very special. She can restore damaged items within a certain range under extreme emotions.

"As for the other two survivors, Abby doesn't know their names and knows nothing about their abilities, but she faintly noticed some familiarity during an encounter with the 'Pale Admiral'..."

After reading this, Klein had to close the book because even his spirit body couldn't bear the accumulated "pain", so he had to give up temporarily.

He rubbed his forehead and said to himself: "Pale Admiral" Maria... I remember that she may have some relationship with Russell. At least her "Pale Justice" was made by Russell...

Is she also a product of the so-called experiment? In other words, the experiment itself was Russell's work? Like the "Dream Maze Tower", is it some kind of "arrangement" after his death?

Well, it seems that I need to show this notebook to "Tarot" during the next regular "small meeting" after the Tarot meeting. Maybe he will know something.

In addition, when I met "Pale Admiral" Maria on the Future, she gave me the method of summoning her "Messenger"...

And the "reproduction messenger" Miss Abby was not in the prison of the Governor's Mansion before, so she escaped...

I can write to Maria and ask her to send someone to intercept Abby, and maybe I can get more information from her.

Speaking of which, Maria's twisted and extreme "justice" is indeed not normal... It would have been absolutely impossible for anyone else to release their "desire" and act like this.

…

Late at night, Audrey, who did not dare to take a shower and even pretended to rest while wearing regular clothes, heard a knock on the bedroom door.
