Mystery: I can change things in books

Chapter 71 Reading Hypnosis ([-])

Before Chris could answer, Mrs. Sharon returned to her usual beautiful appearance, the apocalyptic scene disappeared, and the surroundings were still splendid.

It's like a dream within a dream...

Chris muttered.

"Emperor Russell never gave up looking for her. He went to Feysac, Fenebaud, Roen, and the Southern Continent. Unfortunately, he never found his first love...

Later, he even went on a long voyage to find her..."

Chris is still under the influence of Mrs. Sharon's "reading hypnosis", and Russell's first love story has come to an end.

"...The love story of Emperor Russell ends here."

She clapped her hands, Chris came back to reality, and there was applause.

He felt that he had lost something in his heart, but he didn't know what it was.

Mrs. Sharon thanked her on the stage. She looked very happy, like a girl who got the gift of her dreams.

"How does it feel?"

Catherine was very curious, and she was even more curious about why Chris, who was not even an informal member, was invited by Madam Sharon.

Even if he was once a nobleman of Lunburg, that's not a big deal. Lunburg and Ruen are simply not comparable, not to mention that almost everyone in the banquet hall is from a famous family.

"It was like a dream."

Chris replied with a smile, hiding his uneasiness.

He once again acted as Catherine's shield, preventing Anthony from sending her home.

The taxi was driving along the stone road. Catherine looked out the window with her chin in her hands. The smell of perfume in the small carriage was particularly good.

Chris sat across from her, recalling the "articles" Mrs. Sharon had read that only he had heard.

The white crystal copper chain swayed in his hand. He stared at the hanging white crystal and fell into thinking.

Now it seems that the Moss Ascetic Society poses no threat to him. On the contrary, the Witch Cult seems to be planning something secretly.

By the way, there is also the Aurora Society, which believes in the "True Creator"...

Chris has not forgotten Boba, the evil black ear, the "dirty talk", whose whereabouts are still unknown.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. If nothing else happens, "Dirty Words" is now under the control of the Punisher, but in a few months it will appear again in Backlund - suspected of being a member of the Aurora Society. "Black Snake" sold it to Klein at a party hosted by Mr. "Eye of Wisdom".

Chris was too lazy to care about what happened next around the "dirty words". That was the job of the punisher and had nothing to do with his mechanical heart.

"Chris," Catherine pulled him out of his thoughts, "I didn't expect Mrs. Sharon to directly invite you."

It is indeed a bit strange...

Catherine reminded Chris that from Mrs. Sharon's perspective, he was just a down-and-out nobleman, and she didn't know he was an extraordinary person.

However, at Sequence 6, she should know that the official Beyonders use the police as their cover, right?

Chris scratched his head. Was this explained in the original novel?He doesn't remember.

He met Catherine's eyes and smiled sheepishly: "Maybe she saw that I was a newcomer and wanted to give me a chance."

"Heh, you are so lucky. Mrs. Sharon herself doesn't come to the Borrag Club very often," Catherine smiled and said jokingly: "Didn't you notice how those single men looked at you when you came off the stage? They are jealous of you."

She falsely poked Chris's eyes: "They want to kill you with their eyes." Chris's image of Catherine's aloofness began to collapse. He didn't expect Catherine to have such a lively side. Frost, even the smile is a chuckle.

Catherine held her chin and sighed: "Mrs. Sharon is indeed a very beautiful and charming woman."

Chris nodded silently in his mind and agreed. "Witch" seemed to exude a special aura that made people fall in love unconsciously, even for people of the same sex...

After returning home, Chris put candles, essential oils and other materials on the table, then reached for a piece of letter paper.

He took up pen and wrote a brief letter to Samantha:
"Samantha: I met the noble lady in your portrait, but she is a hallucination, it may be related to a sealed item..."

After finishing writing, Chris didn't call the strange fish over. He looked at the letter paper in his hand with his cheeks in his hand, and finally crumpled it up.

Although Albert seemed not to care about the complicated rules and regulations within the Heart of Machinery, this was an internal issue after all, and Samantha was not an official Beyonder.

Moreover, the noble lady only appeared for a moment in the hallucination, so no more useful information could be obtained.

He thought for a moment and decided not to write to Samantha.

Chris took out the white crystal copper chain from his pocket and silently recited the divination sentence in his heart:

"The lady in the portrait is still alive."

"The lady in the portrait is still alive."

Chris had never doubted the fact that she was dead, but after yesterday's hallucination, he had to think about it.

After seven times, the white crystal copper chain in his hand slowly started to rotate.

Counterclockwise, the answer is no.

Chris held the white crystal to stop it from spinning. The smooth crystal surface had sharp edges and corners, and the cold touch made him calm down a lot.

He had a vague hunch that this woman not only represented a reward of [-] pounds, but behind her, there might be a complex network of relationships, or a huge secret organization...

Witch Sect, Moss Ascetic Order, Aurora Order...

Chris was certain that the Witch Sect was planning something, and Mrs. Sharon was the character they pushed to the forefront.

The Moss Ascetic Order also has access to the "Secret Peepers", and he will definitely come into contact with them in the future.

The Aurora Society is a group of lunatics who lurk among the crowd and can cause murder at any time. They are also very dangerous.

Chris frowned. There seemed to be a fog in front of him. There was a moth in the fog. He stretched out his hand to catch it, but he couldn't catch it.

The best news for him now is that he has reached Sequence 8, and there are still more than ten days before Zhou Mingrui travels through time. He can at least use the information gap to help Klein do something, build a good relationship, and save some favors.

……

In a villa in Jinwutong District

The red moon cast the shadow of Mrs. Sharon's perfect body on the pure wool carpet through the curtains. She looked at the man lying on the bed with seductive eyes, smiling with unknown meaning.

She untied her bun, and her soft brown hair fell like a waterfall, and her movements were alluring.

The man gently placed the red wine glass in his hand on the bedside table, chuckled and asked, "Do you still want to take this book with you now?"

"Of course not."

She put the purple book on the dressing table, bit her lips, and unbuttoned her clothes.
