Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

After the embers left the gray fog, Klein, who was still at the top, rubbed his temple and murmured:
"So, I don't have to do anything now?"

Klein's mood was quite complicated. On the one hand, he felt the joy of being carried by a big boss during a game, but on the other hand, he also felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Because he was carried by a big boss, he was like a pendant during a team fight. He could only watch the big boss show off while he could only watch from the sidelines, otherwise the aftermath would kill him.

After all, he had just been promoted to Sequence 5!
As soon as he reached Sequence 5, he had to go up against Sequence 1 Angels and even Sequence 0 True Gods. Although by relying on the gray fog (hiding in the fountain), he was not unable to deal with these beings for a short period of time.

But the grey fog is not omnipotent, because there is a 'Sky Lord' who is secretly plotting how to take over his body.

"I'm under more pressure than I should be at my age."

Klein let out a long sigh. Why did he suddenly feel like everyone in the world was his enemy?
Amon wants to seize Sefirah Castle, and Tianzun wants to take over his body. These are just the threats that have appeared on the surface. There is no telling how many people are watching him in secret!
Perhaps the only thing that Klein could be thankful for was the embers.

Yu Jin probably recovered some of his memories, although he didn't know what they were. But at least he no longer wanted to burn himself, but wanted to burn the 'Source Castle'.

This is good!
Although Sefirah Castle sounded very impressive and was the golden finger that Klein relied on for his survival, Klein was not dissatisfied with Ember's desire to refine Sefirah Castle. Instead, he felt an inexplicable joy!

After all, the Sefirah Castle was on him, which meant that he would become the focus of those Sequence 1s and even Sequence 0s. Just knowing the existence of these pressures made Klein restless.

If these people really came to attack, Klein didn't think he could defend Sefirah Castle.

If Sefirah Castle no longer belonged to him, he would become an ember to bear the pressure. Klein could hide in the dark and develop secretly without any worries.

Furthermore, compared to letting someone else seize Sefirah Castle, Klein would rather hand it over to Ember.

Because Yu Jin could have robbed him directly, and he even gave him the key to enter the 'Source Castle' on his own initiative.

But he still chose to discuss with himself, who was only half the owner of Sefirah Castle, and even gave him the right to choose.

At least Yu Jin had done his best, and he had no reason not to accept it.

And the honesty shown by Yu Jin, even if it was fake, still made Klein feel respected!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Embers already knows that The Fool is Klein.

The friendly attitude shown by the other party now is inseparable from Klein. After all, Klein and Yu Jin are friends who help each other.

Otherwise, Yu Jin might really choose to rob, because that way he could also burn the Fool as firewood...

Klein's eyes twitched and he shook his head violently.

Don’t do that kind of thing!
We can lose Sefirah Castle, but we cannot let it burn down!

Although he was somewhat reluctant to lose his golden finger, it was not to the point where he could not let it go.

What's more, according to Yu Jin's character, he will definitely give adequate compensation.

Klein had no objection to this, after all, he had no particular obsession with becoming stronger. Although his advancement speed was a little exaggerated thanks to Sefirah Castle, he was actually forced to do so.

If it weren't for Ince Zangwill and Lanevus planning the birth of the 'True Creator', perhaps he would still be just a Sequence 7, working with the captain and his team in Tingen, and going home after get off work to have dinner with Benson and Melissa.

Melissa disliked Benson's cooking skills, but her own cooking skills were not very good, so it was likely that he cooked for her. At dinner, he and Benson would drink a glass of beer, and Melissa would take a small bite of the lemon pudding, chewing it repeatedly, reluctant to swallow it...

“I really miss it…”

There was a hint of nostalgia in Klein's eyes. He missed the life back then.

Although it was short, it was one of the few things in his life worth remembering...

But soon, Klein's mood dropped again and he fell into a long silence.

"Maybe I should see a therapist?"

Klein smiled bitterly and whispered to himself.

His spiritual intuition told him that something was wrong with his current state.

If he left the gray fog like this, it would cause irreversible damage to his body and mind.

Simply put, he needs someone to talk to.

Yu Jin might be a good person to talk to, and he might understand my current situation.

But Klein didn't think that embers could comfort people.

For things like this, you should find a professional.

Klein shifted his gaze to the first seat on the left.
-
Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

"Dad, how is Alfred doing? Has his potion been digested?"

Audrey, who had finished her lunch, looked at Earl Hall who was sitting at the main seat and asked.

"Not so fast."

Count Hall put down the Backlund Daily in his hand, shook his head and smiled:

"Audrey, you are a Beyonder, so you should know that digesting a potion is not something that can be done overnight. Moreover, Alfred is only Sequence 5. According to the royal family, most people need at least a year."

"But you don't have to worry too much. This spot belongs to the Hall family anyway. Besides, shouldn't we have more confidence in Alfred? He has always been excellent. Perhaps he can finish digesting the potion within half a year, before the social season..."

"That's it."

Audrey whispered to herself that she believed Alfred could digest the potion within half a year. But if Alfred entered the dream world, the process might be faster.

Well, so can Hibbert.

He is now a Sequence 8 'clown', and goes to the circus to 'perform' every day after get off work. This is undoubtedly a very embarrassing experience for Hibbert, who has always pursued elegance.

So he never told his family and always lied that he was working overtime.

But unfortunately, even Earl Hall couldn't be fooled by such a clumsy lie...

If Hibbert knew that dreams could help him get through the 'Joker' stage quickly, he would definitely not refuse.

Well, Mr. World spent 6 souls to digest the potion of Sequence 10. So, Sequence 8 would probably only cost 1000 souls. This does not require challenging Guda, or challenging the experts and crystal lizards.

All he had to do was clean up the zombies in the Ash Cemetery every night, about two or three times. In other words, Hibbert would be able to digest the potion in just two or three days...

"This……"

Audrey was stunned for a moment. She suddenly realized that dreams seemed to have a greater effect on low-sequence Beyonders!

Although low-sequence Beyonders were weak and doomed to be trapped in the Ash Cemetery, the number of souls they needed to digest the potion was not large. Sequence 8 only needed 1000 souls, and Sequence 9 only needed 100 souls. Killing a zombie would give them at least 20 souls!

It just so happened that the Hall family had been expanding rapidly recently, and Audrey had personally handled hundreds of Beyonder traits. She knew exactly how large the scale of Beyonders the family was currently cultivating!
With so many people, it takes time to digest the potion. This is actually what the nobles often call "foundation", and the Hall family is in the process of accumulating foundation.

And dreams can speed up this process countless times!
"Maybe we can give it a try..."

Audrey whispered to herself.

"try what?"

Earl Hall was a little surprised.

Audrey blinked:
"I mean, try a new hairstyle on Susie."

Wang?
Susie, who was happily eating steak, looked up with a confused look on her face.

Audrey kept this thought to herself, planning to ask Carla about it the next time she saw her.

After all, Carla hopes that she can help promote dreams.

But low-sequence Beyonders are somewhat special after all, and I don’t know whether Kalula will allow it.

At this moment, she suddenly saw an endless gray fog and a blurry figure standing high above it, looking down at everything. Then, she saw another figure—a praying figure shrouded in gray fog, and the corresponding words echoed in her ears:
"Mr. Fool, please tell Ms. Justice that I hope to receive some psychological treatment."

"Psychotherapy?"

Audrey was a little surprised. Did Mr. World have any mental problems?
Although the "world" has always been very lonely and gloomy, Audrey does not think it is a mental illness. Just like what Emperor Roselle said: loneliness is a carnival for one person, and carnival is the loneliness of a group of people.

Mr. World may have simply chosen to be a loner, which does not mean he has a mental illness.

But now Mr. World has taken the initiative to seek help, which means he must be under a lot of pressure recently...

Audrey didn't dare to delay, so she got up and returned to her room with her golden retriever Susie.

The man and the dog had a tacit understanding. Without any verbal communication, the latter stood guard at the door, while Audrey locked the door, sat by the bed, and silently recited Mr. Fool's name.

After waiting for a few seconds, a deep red light surged out in front of her eyes, submerging everything.

Audrey came above the gray fog and arrived at the magnificent and ancient palace.

Audrey said in a clear voice:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool, Mr. World."

The World said hoarsely:

"Ms. Justice, if possible, I would like to receive psychological treatment now."

"Eh? Are you here?"

Audrey, the Justice, was stunned for a moment. The Beyonders of the Audience Path were indeed very suitable for treating mental illness.

But this was in Mr. Fool's palace after all, and she couldn't see or sense many details clearly. This was a serious lack of conditions for the treatment of psychological problems...

After hesitating for a moment, Audrey raised her doubts from the perspective of feasibility.

The World whispered:

"It's okay. I asked Mr. Fool for some help."

Audrey frowned slightly. She felt as if something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. After thinking about it carefully, she found that there was indeed no problem, so she nodded slightly and said:
"I'm OK."

As soon as she finished speaking, Audrey saw a small room next to the long bronze table. It was a large brown box half a person's height, with a door at the front and back, and a wooden board in the middle.

I thought Mr. World would ask Mr. Fool to materialize a wall, and he and I would stand on either side of it, communicating with each other against the wall...

Now, although it is essentially the same, the confessional is small and dark. He really doesn't consider the lady's feelings at all! Well, if Mr. World did consider it, I would be surprised...

Audrey smiled slightly as she walked to the door of the confessional that had not yet closed, bent down and went in, sitting with her legs kneeling sideways.

After closing the wooden door, Audrey, who was treating a patient for the first time in a real sense, suddenly felt a little excited.

She was in the dark, and because of the environment and mood, she put aside many of the rules she usually abided by. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, bent her fingers, tapped the partition board and said:

"Hello~ Is Mr. World here?"

Klein, who was sitting cross-legged opposite, was infected by Miss Justice's cheerful tone and said with a slightly relaxed mood:

"You can start."

This time, he did not use the gray fog to cover himself, but transformed into the appearance of Gehrman Sparrow.

Audrey's spiritual intuition has already sensed the other person's mental and physical condition, which is commonly known as emotions, or moods.

Gray, low, confused, depressed, and not interested in anything... Mr. World really encountered a very serious problem. For ordinary people, if they maintain such a mood for a long time, they will become depressed and no longer interact with outsiders.

And for extraordinary people, overly depressed emotions can even cause them to lose control!
Audrey bit her lower lip, made a calm judgment, and used a "comfort" at the right time. This is one of the most useful abilities of a "psychologist", which was called "psychoanalysis" in ancient times.

Soft, invisible waves spread out, and Klein suddenly felt like waking up early on a hot summer day and feeling the cool breeze of the morning. His depressed mood improved slightly.

The World was silent for a long time, then slowly spoke:

"You have obtained information about giant dragons from the Sun, so you should have some understanding of the Fantasy Dragon.

If, I mean if, you found out that your father, mother, and brothers were all imagined by the King of the Audience Angels and did not actually exist, how would you react? "

He would surely collapse on the spot, even lose control...Mr. World, did you develop psychological problems because you found that your main expectation or ultimate goal could never be achieved?

Audrey was first inexplicably frightened by Gehrman Sparrow's question, but then she realized the essence of the problem.

She didn't answer, but asked in a guiding way:
"You seem to have witnessed the death of a hope."

"Heh." A self-deprecating laugh came from the wall behind Audrey:
"Indeed, I once thought I still had a family, but later I found out that it was just my wishful thinking."

The intense pain and confusion were so vivid in Audrey's perception that she suddenly realized:

The gloomy, depressed, sophisticated and ruthless Mr. World also has his own goals and meaning of existence!
