Lord of the Mysteries 2: Circle of Inevitability

"How did you know I was there?" Ms. Justice's voice sounded with a smile.

Lumian looked at the seat opposite him, wondering if there was anyone sitting there, and replied with a smile: "You won't lose anything by saying hello."

Susie took over the topic: "Congratulations on completing the first step of revenge. How about we have a brief chat about this matter?"

"No problem." Lumian did not show any obvious emotional fluctuations due to the word "revenge".

Of course, this was also the reason why he did not carry the "torture" gloves with him. After all, this was a follow-up visit mainly for psychological evaluation, and external influences could not be added to avoid misleading the doctor's judgment.

He started by looking for helpers and formulating a plan, and talked about what happened in the past two days. Except for concealing the secret of the "Curly Baboon Research Society", he briefly mentioned everything else.

After a brief silence, Susie's gentle voice sounded again:

"Your mental state is maintained well. Although you will still have overreactions in certain situations, this is normal. Psychotherapy is not to make a person lose their emotions and feelings, but to help you let go of your baggage, learn to reconcile, and find your inner self. The power to stop being overwhelmed by nightmares, otherwise, according to some unreliable psychiatrist, simply removing the frontal lobe of your brain will make you calm forever."

"Removing the frontal lobe?" This was the first time Lumian had heard of this treatment method.

Susie's tone was a bit disgusting:

"This is an idea that has only appeared in the last two or three years. It is impossible to achieve the expected purpose and will only cause serious harm to patients. I can feel the obvious malice from this treatment plan, just like Some inhumane guys deliberately spread it to make doctors and patients laugh." www.youxs.org

A prank that doesn’t care about the life or death of others? Lumian then said: "Ms. Susie, you didn’t even ask me how I feel or analyze my thoughts, so you think that I have initially recovered and do not need follow-up treatment?"

Susie's mood improved quickly and she said with a smile:

"Sometimes, a person's behavior reflects his mental state more than his thoughts. What you need to know is that human beings are very good at deceiving themselves. They always find a bunch of reasons for some of their actions. , this is far less realistic than his behavior. If you want to evaluate the accurate psychological state from these complex and contradictory thoughts, you must do in-depth analysis, and this can easily trigger problems, so I choose to start from your behavior. Get started.

"Obviously, whether you want to admit it or not, you have rebuilt your social relationships, have a certain amount of trust in others, and are willing to let others trust you.

"www.youxs.org, you can think calmly and prepare carefully. Although there are impulses and a little morbid and twisted performance in your actions, they are inevitable. Only if you do not need to consider whether there is a more serious psychological problem. And when the matter is over, you quickly return to a more normal state, return to life, and continue further investigation.

“Based on the above behaviors, congratulations, you no longer have a strong self-destructive tendency and have truly stepped out of the abyss of pain.

"Of course, the pain will not disappear, it will only ease and dilute. At some point in the future, it may be suddenly touched and occupy your heart again, but there is no need to panic. After this period of experience, I believe you can Coping well, psychologically speaking, is a sign of recovery.

"Similarly, the past will inevitably leave traces on us. Your self-destructive tendencies, extreme levels, and morbid behaviors are definitely stronger than most people, but they are all within a reasonable and normal range."

After listening to this, Lumian slowly exhaled and said: "Actually, I can feel it myself. The state I am in now is completely different from the state I was in when I first arrived in Trier.

"Thank you, Ms. Susie, thank you, Ms. Justice'."

He could clearly find that thanks to the treatment of two psychiatrists and various experiences in the market area, he slowly moved away from the crazy state where he didn't care about anything, didn't matter anything, and it didn't matter even if he died. When he came out, he changed from a vengeful evil ghost to a more extreme person who wanted revenge, had enough power to act.

"This is actually a self-salvation." Susie's tone was obviously happier than before, "What you need to thank most is yourself and your sister Aurore. If it weren't for you still holding on to a little hope and some survival If Miss Aurore hadn't given you nearly six years of wonderful time to reflect on and shape your thoughts, we wouldn't have been able to bring you back."

Hearing this, Lumian suddenly recalled a picture in his mind:

Aurore takes deep breaths to relieve the irritability of teaching knowledge; the storm in the fighting class, the sudden "attack"; the two of them sit in the study, each reading different books, enjoying the quietness and the night; themselves as The number one experimental subject was forced to eat the restored food from her hometown that her sister either succeeded or failed.

Lumian's expression gradually softened, and he remembered a sentence written by his sister in a certain book: The joy and pain of the past are equal to who I am now.

After more than ten seconds, he sat up straight and asked: "Did all my nightmares last night come from that king cake game?"

The person responsible for responding this time was Ms. Justice. She said in a clear and soft voice: "Yes, judging from the current situation, you should have suffered a certain amount of mental pollution at the time."

"Spiritual pollution? Does it really involve extraordinary power?" Lumian asked curiously.

Ms. Justice replied:

"Normally, the simple ceremony of sacrificing King Cake would not have been successful, otherwise this game would not have been popular in Intis for hundreds of years. It was not until the establishment of the Republic that it was gradually forgotten by people, with only a few families remembering it. "

"Yes, I felt the same way at the time. Puyver neither used mystical language nor recited the complete honorary name, so it was impossible for the sacrifice to be successful." Lumian agreed.

Ms. Justice continued:

“But there is an exception where the sacrificer and the sacrifice object are related by blood and there are many similarities.

"If you frequently participate in Puyfer's king cake game and suffer the mental pollution caused by the ritual again and again, then it cannot be solved by having a few nightmares. They will gradually distort your mind and make you become a person before they completely subside. crazy."

"Do the contents in those nightmares have symbolic meaning?" Lumian said with a "hmm".

Ms. Justice said neither fast nor slow:

"It's probably a combination of some crazy things that happened in the past, and it was projected into your dream with the help of contamination."

"There really is such an old castle, and there really are such crazy people..." Lumian nodded thoughtfully.

After chatting with the two psychiatrists "Justice" and "Susie" for a while, he felt that today's follow-up consultation was coming to an end.

At this time, Ms. Justice took the initiative and said, "Didn't I mention before that I might need your help with something?"

"No problem." Lumian agreed readily.

Just think of it as the cost of psychotherapy!

Moreover, he believed that Ms. Justice must have considered her own abilities before entrusting her, and it would not be too dangerous.

Ms. Justice said with a smile: "If it succeeds, I will give you an extra reward, which can meet your needs in a certain way.

"Changing appearance?" Lumian felt happy.

"Almost." Ms. Justice's soft voice was a little more serious, "I hope you will go to an ancient tomb on the fourth floor of the Trier Catacombs and help me get a bottle of the Samaritan Woman's Fountain. 'return."

The Samaritan woman Quan Lumian was extremely shocked.

Ms. "Hela" just mentioned that she came to Trier to search for something deep in the catacombs, and she also asked about the legend of the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman"

Is this too much of a coincidence?

As if aware of his inner thoughts, Ms. Justice smiled and said: "Don't you think it's too coincidental?

"Yes, I just hope that you can help me bring back some spring water from the Samaritan Woman's Spring with the help of Ms. Hela's exploration. If you only rely on yourself, the hope is slim.

"Actually, I can arrange for you to go in a more covert way, but that goes against my ideas and principles. This kind of thing still needs to be communicated with you in person and obtain your consent, rather than making you passive through secret arrangements. Get involved and achieve my goal.

"To me, being obsessed with manipulating other people's minds is a very dangerous thing.

"Of course, honesty is also an effective means of influencing other people's hearts."

The vigilance and suspicion in Lumian's heart were dispelled, and he asked doubtfully: "Ms. Justice, since you know the approximate location of the Fountain of the Samaritan Woman, why don't you go get it yourself? You have to find me. Only Sequence 7 Extraordinary person?"

The Major Arcana card of the "Tarot Club" must be a demigod, many times more powerful than me!

Ms. Justice smiled: "To put it simply, in some places, the higher the sequence, the more dangerous it is."

Is there any place where the higher the sequence is, the more dangerous it is? Lumian feels that this is beyond his knowledge.

Ms. Justice added: "The higher the sequence, the closer it is to the beginning, the more madness has accumulated, and the more easily it is naturally affected by certain contaminations.

"Hela' is also beneficial in this matter. At least it can save her time and allow her to lock in a range and search."

Lumian thought for a moment, accepted the commission from Ms. Justice, and learned from her the general scope of the "Fountain of the Samaritan Woman":

In an ancient tomb in the westernmost part of the fourth floor of the catacombs.

After the follow-up consultation, Lumian returned to White Coat Street in the market area and planned to take the "torture" gloves from the tin cabinet.

As soon as he entered the safe house, he suddenly had a wonderful intuition: Someone had come in!

Someone has entered his safe house!

Lumian felt relieved, strode forward, and opened the iron cabinet.

After seeing that Aurore's witchcraft notebook and "torture" gloves were still there, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, he began to identify it carefully and found that one item was indeed missing: the piece of earth blood ore was missing!
