Chapter 281 Consultation The lady who was suspected to be the holder of the "Justice" card stopped talking, and Susie spoke instead: "Your mental state is much better than before. If you wish, I can let you enter the dream again and try to awaken the forgotten memories." “No problem.” Lumian leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes. He fell asleep unknowingly, and he saw the village of Cordu again, located between the mountains, bathed in the sun. It was surrounded by green alpine pastures. The gray-white sheep were like clouds, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, embellishing the scenery like an oil painting. All the things that had happened were presented rapidly like an art exhibition. Lumian was sometimes immersed in it, experiencing it personally, and sometimes pulled away and looked at it as a bystander. As events progressed, the weather that represented his mood became increasingly gloomy, with less and less sunlight visible, and only occasionally would the fog clear and the azure blue appear. These memories were similar to what Lumian had guessed. Starting from May and June last year, some abnormalities gradually occurred in the village. At first, he didn't take it seriously until the end of the year, when he felt that the problem was serious. However, Aurore always ignored his suspicions, or said she wanted to verify but never followed up. After that, they got hold of Louis Londo's handle and extracted information from him. When the new year came, more and more people in Cordu Village showed certain problems, so that some villagers who had not been affected yet gradually realized that something was wrong. Ava, Raymond, Naroka and others were silenced as a result. During this process, Lumian discovered that Pons Bene and others were burying the bodies and tried to retaliate by severely injuring the villain's lower body. However, he was alone and could not fight against the group of thugs, and ultimately failed.
He was nearly killed by Pons Bene, but Aurore showed up in time and took him away. It was not until this time that Lumian realized that his sister had also shown signs of abnormality. She was suspected to be one of the parish priest's gang and had a very high status. She was cold and indifferent most of the time, completely different from the sister in Lumian's mind. Only occasionally would she return to her original state, worrying about her own situation and her brother's future, and trying to seek help. But she never mentioned that she could summon the messenger of "Hela", the vice president of the "Curly-Haired Baboon Research Society". The relevant information in the dream was most likely from her soul fragments. What happened next was similar to what Madame Puaris had said. Aurore stopped the lady, and the parish priest Guillaume Bene led a large group of benefactors to attack the administrator's castle, destroying her arrangements and forcing her to give up the "territory" she had managed for a long time and leave the village of Cordu with her remaining men. The only difference is that Mrs. Puaris said that she only gave birth to one child, whose father was the parish priest, who eventually died in the attack, but Aurore mentioned in her Fatebearer state that the lady herself gave birth to two children, one of whom disappeared after the destruction of the Administrator's Castle. At the end of the memory, the person who knocked Lumian unconscious and took him to the altar was not Aurore, but the deputy parish priest Michel Garrigu, who had also had a lizard-like elf crawling out of him in his dream. Lumian opened his eyes and took a slow, deep breath. He had expected all these things, but the accompanying mood changes still made him feel breathless: Finally, he came out of the nightmare of being a homeless child and had a real, warm home, new friends, and a lot of happiness. Even when he was chased by villagers because of a prank and failed to escape in a rare incident and was punched a few times, he was still in a good mood. But just when he thought he would continue to live like this, the people around him gradually became weird, and the constant abnormalities he discovered made his heart grow heavier and heavier, and he was shrouded in more and more gloom. He began to feel frightened and anxious. He tried to persuade his sister Aurore and friends such as Raymond and Ava to leave Cordu Village and move to Darriège, but Aurore kept delaying and his plan ultimately failed. In fear and despair, he welcomed the death of his friends and discovered that his most trusted and valued sister had also become abnormal. At that moment, he felt his soul sinking into a bottomless dark abyss, as if he had returned to the state when his grandfather died and he had just started wandering, feeling fear, helplessness, sadness and pain. What was different from that time was that he now felt more desperate. If Aurore hadn't woken up from time to time and brought a little hope, he might not have been able to hold on to the end. Even when he looked back at the experiences of those few months in his current state, Lumian still felt that his heart was a little overwhelmed, as if he was trapped in a cage, surrounded by dark and gloomy tones, and no matter how he rushed left and right, he could not escape. It was dull, cramped, oppressive, painful and desperate. Huh, huh... After taking a few deep breaths, Lumian slowly calmed down and smiled bitterly: "It's just as I guessed." The remaining pieces of the puzzle of the disaster were those that he had not experienced personally, and he needed to obtain them by interpreting symbols in his dreams or finding the parish priest, Guillaume Bennet. Susie said in a gentle voice: "You have completely endured it and faced the past, which shows that your psychological problems have been greatly improved. The only thing left is for you to reconcile and heal on your own.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should only have one more session of psychological treatment left. Once you find the parish priest, Guillaume Bennet, and have a conversation with him, I will need to evaluate your psychological and mental condition again and do the final treatment." "Thank you, Ms. Susie, thank you..." Lumian hesitated and said, "Ms. Justice." The lady in the "psychologically invisible" state did not deny it and said with a smile: "Just because you have one more session of psychotherapy doesn't mean we won't have any more contact. I may have to trouble you with some things later." Lumian smiled: "I'm just a Sequence 7. I can't help you, right?" "Don't underestimate anyone." The lady responded with a smile, "Besides, different people doing different things will have different effects." Lumian nodded and said: "no problem." He thought about it and changed the subject: "Ladies, at the end of the disaster in Koldu Village, my sister pushed me away and told me to pay attention to her notes. With your understanding of human nature, what questions might be hidden in her notes and where?" Although there were still many things in Aurore's witchcraft notes that Lumian couldn't understand or had difficulty understanding, he had studied the overall content over and over again and still couldn't find any possible anomalies. Susie responded quickly: "There shouldn't be any information or hints that Aurore deliberately left in those notes. Otherwise, she would have told you directly when she regained consciousness, or reminded you in a tactful way." Lumian nodded slowly, agreeing with this speculation. It was just like Aurore could have summoned Hela's messenger for help but didn't do so. Susie continued: "I think there are some things in the notes that she once thought were normal, but later suspected to be problematic. Therefore, it is difficult to find out which one is abnormal just by judging from the surface." No wonder I have no clue for so long... Lumian asked anxiously: "So how do you tell if there's a problem?" The holder of the "Justice" card said as if thinking: “Since you have preliminarily determined based on your memory that the anomaly began around May or June last year, use this time point to look for the problem. "If the source is really Aurore, then she must have come into contact with something before this and suffered some kind of contamination. So, you should pay special attention to the notes from the first six months. They may contain something that caused her to mutate. "In addition, there is a high probability that the notes from the last three months reflect what Aurore really wants to do, which is an important part of the castle in her heart. "If you study your notes, these two time periods are the most likely to have problems." From January to June last year, from January to March this year... Lumian remembered the advice of Ms. Justice. Since Aurore's witchcraft notes covered a period of more than five years, narrowing down the scope of the suspected content would help Lumian save a lot of time and energy. If he only focused on the notes from those two time periods, his workload would be reduced by 90 percent, allowing him to analyze and think more specifically. After a brief thought, Lumian thanked him sincerely again: "Thank you, Ms. Susie, and thank you, Ms. Justice." After communicating for a while, this psychotherapy session officially ended. Lumian finished the remaining espresso, got up and left Mason Café, waiting for the public carriage on the roadside. At this time in Trier, dark clouds gathered in the far northwest and rain fell like lines, while in the southeast, the sky was azure blue and the clouds were pure white, stained with golden light. ………… 3 White Coat Street, Apartment 601. Franca said to Janna:
"We're going out to a party." "What party?" Janna, who hadn't put on smoky makeup yet, asked in confusion. Franca rarely invited her to participate in such things. Franka laughed: “A gathering in the field of occultism. "You have digested the 'Assassin' potion. You should consider being promoted to 'Instigator'. How to collect materials and intelligence through mystical gatherings and earn money and supplies is a course that every wild Beyonder must learn." "Promotion..." Janna was a little confused. The word was unfamiliar to her. Franka said seriously: "An important person once told me that in the foreseeable future, there will be more and more followers of evil gods, and the same will be true for various disasters involving the occult. "If you hope to protect yourself, your brother, and those you want to protect, you must continue on the path of God step by step and become stronger." Janna was silent for a few seconds and said: "it is good." "Then let's go." Franka smiled again. Jane hesitated and said: "Want to ask Ciel to join us? It seems like he needs to attend the occult gathering as well." "..." Franca's expression froze. (End of this chapter)
