Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 787 Improper Relationship

An invisible force passed by, and Audrey repeated Susie's words with a smile on her face, and then nodded:

"Yes, that's what I thought."

The suggestion was quietly planted, and Audrey, who had the "angel's blessing", seemed to be floating above her body, watching it all quietly from a detached perspective.

"Susie is very talented. She can hypnotize me by using abilities that are higher than her own sequence. Well, this is also related to my lack of resistance. If the target has a strong resistance, or if the hint involves important things or endangers his life, his subconscious mind will also resist..."

As she pondered, her consciousness returned to her body. She had already forgotten why she let Susie use the "Travel Notes" and even why she spent 400 pounds to rent the notes.

She put away her notes, called the maid, changed into a dress that was easier to move in, bypassed the reception room where her father and brother were talking with visitors, left the mansion through the side door, and took a carriage from Queens to Hillston.

"Miss Queen lives on Birningham Road not far away. If necessary, she will come directly to the scene to help me... I hope this situation will not happen. It will completely expose me to the eyes of the senior members of the Psychological Alchemy Society. I am afraid I can only live in the church for a long time to seek shelter... Wait, why does Christine want to help me? I just go to see Hampres, whose sequence is not even as good as mine..."

Various thoughts flashed through Audrey's mind until she used the power of the angel's blessing to analyze her inner thoughts psychologically and examined them carefully from a detached perspective. Only then did she "remember" the true identity of Hvin Rambis: one of the jury members of the Psychological Alchemist Society and a Sequence 4 "manipulator".

Well, I deliberately used psychological suggestion to remove this "impression" because I was worried that I would meet this demigod again at Hampres's house, and then be discovered to be abnormal because I was too surprised... She remembered her plan.

Fortunately, with the blessing of Mr. Fool's angel, I can control my own reactions from a detached perspective and avoid being affected by emotions. This is the effect of the combination of "blessing" and "psychological suggestion"...

She was once again filled with nervousness and excitement, and then quickly calmed down in the confusion that had arisen for some reason. Until the carriage drove into Stephen Hampres's garden, Audrey entered the mansion under the guidance of his maid, and Susie was taken to the side hall to wait.

Hampres, dressed in a formal tuxedo, dismissed the servants and led the guest to the back of the mansion, seemingly intending to lead her into a private salon venue, but stopped in a quiet corridor.

"Audrey," he suddenly said to the noble girl beside him, "report on this week's gains."

……

8 Burningham Road, in the study on the third floor of Theresa's house.

Angel sat alone on the sofa by the window, holding a crudely made doll in one hand and a small dressing mirror in the other in the warm afternoon sun. The scene emerging on the mirror was from the first-person perspective of Hampres, with Audrey Hall at the center of the view.

A few blocks away, she was using a doll made with Hampres' blood to perform special divinations through the connection of the curse to obtain first-hand information about Audrey's contact with the "Psychological Alchemy Society".

The mirror continuously displayed the other party's perspective, and Hampres's vague voice could be heard:
"...Audrey, forget what we just talked about."

Audrey's slightly dull eyes in the picture became clear again, and then she moved her gaze doubtfully:

"Mr. Hampres, aren't we going to attend a psychology salon?"

She was pretending so well. If I hadn't known that she had gotten rid of hypnosis, I wouldn't have been able to tell her true state... Angel felt that every audience member was the best "actor" and heard Hampres in the mirror continue:
"No, a distinguished commissioner is waiting. He is very pleased with your recent contributions and would like to meet you in person."

Then, he led Audrey to the door of the living room, opened it gently, and gestured for her to come in. Audrey obediently entered the room with some doubts and closed the door behind her.

The last scene in the mirror was that Humphreys looked at Audrey's graceful figure covered in a light yellow dress for a long time without moving. The desires that kept flashing in his mind were also transmitted to Angel's mind through the blood curse, making her shake her head constantly.

With the help of Hvin Rambis' hypnosis, he thought he could manipulate Audrey's will, and even had evil thoughts in his heart, thinking he could control the life of this noble girl? Oh, I'm afraid that when you really attack her, you will be controlled by this "hypnotist"... Angel sneered and labeled Hampres as a suicidal person. Suddenly, she realized that she couldn't monitor Audrey's movements through Hampres.

No, I can also use the mirror in the room, but I need to be extremely careful to avoid triggering the spiritual warning of the demigod. This requires me to target Audrey instead of Hvin Rambis...

As she was thinking, a ray of power entered the mirror world through the magic mirror in her hand and quickly floated towards the Hampres family.

----

"Mr. Rambis, you..."

Audrey opened her mouth slightly, her eyes wide, and looked in disbelief at the elegant old man in formal attire in the living room.

He is a professor at Backlund University, an advisor to the royal family, and a close friend of many nobles, Hvin Rambis.

Of course, Audrey had seen him many times before, and had always thought that he was consistent with the reputation of the upper social circles, a polite gentleman and a wise scholar. His appearance here, in the home of Hampres, undoubtedly meant...

"Nice to meet you, Miss Audrey," the old man smiled and stood up and bowed, then pointed to another sofa, "Please sit down, let's talk about you."

Audrey sat down slowly, still with an incredible expression on her face, and said stiffly:
"So you are the 'committee' that Mr. Hampres mentioned. I have discussed philosophical issues with you before..."

"Haha, don't be so nervous. The Psychological Alchemy Society is just an academic organization that studies the spiritual field. As a scholar and a Beyonder, it is reasonable for me to join them and further improve my cognition, isn't it?"

Hvin Rambis chuckled and explained in a gentle tone.

"Yes, I also had the same idea with Hampres and Eslante..." When talking about the member of the Psychological Alchemy Society who died at the hands of Ms. D, Audrey paused, "...they contacted each other, but I didn't expect that you would also join this organization."

"It is indeed regrettable that Ms. Eslant died, but fortunately she brought you to us. If she knew what you have achieved today, I think she would be pleased."

Hewen raised his right leg on the sofa, changed to a more relaxed posture, and said with a sigh, then changed the subject and asked:

"I heard from Hampres that you have become a 'hypnotist'? I'm curious, how did you do it in just a few months?"

After recovering from her initial surprise, Audrey smiled sheepishly and opened her mouth slightly as if to organize her words, but did not answer immediately.

At the same time, she felt a little dazed, as if she was examining herself in a transcendent state before. Her spirit body seemed to be floating, the seven lights of the spirit world were spreading in the sky, and a broad, deep sea appeared under her feet.

Below where she floated, scattered islands stood, one of which belonged to Audrey Hall.

This is the ocean of consciousness, the collective ocean of consciousness!

Audrey had some realizations, but she had no idea why she entered this magical state, until the deep sea below was split apart by some invisible force. In her hazy subconscious, a stone staircase suddenly appeared, and a figure quickly rose up and came to the surface of the sea.

That's Hvin Rambis... He's invading my mind?
The moment she saw the old man in the shirt and vest, Audrey understood everything and remembered what Susie had hypnotized her to forget.

It turns out that I already knew that he was a demigod of the Psychological Alchemy Society and had made corresponding preparations, and Hvin Rambis's invasion of my spiritual realm triggered the angel's blessing... Quickly reviewing all her reactions after entering the living room, Audrey was relieved to find that these arrangements had the desired effect, and all her reactions were "natural" and did not exceed the scope of information she should know.

But why is he invading my consciousness now?

Audrey, floating above the island, quietly watched the gloomy old man land on her island. His eyes turned a rare golden color, his pupils stood up, and the skin on his neck and face was covered with gray-white scales.

At the same time, the old man sitting on the sofa was discussing the details of the "acting method" with Audrey in a warm manner, as if he was two different people from the gloomy old man in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Well, this is what an “audience” is. They say one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Even though I am also a spectator, I still have to say it’s disgusting…

Audrey muttered to herself "detached", letting her real self carefully consider the answer to the other party's question, describing the "acting method" as her unintentional understanding. The self in the island of her mind also made some shy movements to make the performance between the body and the mind consistent.

Herwin, with his vertical pupils, watched everything silently.

After asking in detail, Hvin Rambis nodded with satisfaction and said:
"You were able to comprehend the 'Acting Method' on your own and actively perform the correct acting, digesting the potion quickly. This was beyond my expectation. This makes you qualified and talented to apply for the Sequence 5 'Dream Walker' potion formula. But before that, I need to confirm your ability to avoid unnecessary losses in the hands of someone who lacks the ability to handle affairs after your promotion."

"Of course, this is the right thing to do." Audrey did a good job of hiding her excitement when she heard the name of the potion, but she inadvertently revealed this emotion in her mind island so that Hvin Rambis would not notice anything unusual. "What do I need to do?"

"First, I want to ask a few questions." Herwin's expression became serious, and he raised his right hand on Audrey's mental island. "What is your true relationship with Christine Theresa?"

Ah, me, and Miss Queen?
This completely unexpected question inevitably made Audrey a little surprised, which was also reflected on the Mind Island, causing Hvin Rambis, who had been carefully observing the changes on the island, to frown.

He noticed Audrey's hesitation and nodded as if to confirm.

It turns out that the Witch of Pleasure had an improper relationship with this noble lady she was so close to!
