Secret: The years I served as a foreign aid for the Aurora Club

Chapter 499 Thunder
776
"Mr. Richard, this rain is making me feel a little chilly."

Audrey quickened her pace to catch up with Richard, who grabbed a stone from the ground and turned it into an umbrella. He stood in the middle to shield his subordinates and doctors from the heavy rain. Audrey stretched her hand out from the umbrella's cover and touched the rain again. She couldn't help but say with worry:

"My spiritual awareness and perception have weakened. There may be a battle next, and I don't know if I can still help."

Only under the umbrella can she feel that her spiritual perception is functioning normally, but once it spreads out and touches the heavy rain curtain, she has no feeling at all.

The rain was now so heavy that it was frightening, almost like pouring water on the ground.

The torrential rain was torrential, and the underground water had already accumulated two or three centimeters, which gathered on the ground along the sloping streets to form one after another fast-flowing streams.There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, so there was no need to say who would benefit from such an environment.

Since such a favorable scenario has been set up, the gods should not condescend to attack this small country...

Audrey looked up. Although her perception could not penetrate the rain, she saw Richard still looking around from time to time, reaching out to grab something in the air, and then a few or a dozen finger-sized dolls would appear in his hand. He stuffed all those dolls into his pockets. He grabbed at least a few hundred along the way, but his pockets were not full.

Was it put in there, or was it teleported to another place? The Prisoner Path seems to be very good at sealing and suppressing spirituality. It is not surprising that this pocket is something with a teleportation function, just like a "traveler's backpack"...

Audrey looked at it a few more times, but she felt uneasy when she thought that she was about to encounter the Beyonders from the Church of the God of Thunder.

The Sequence 5 "psychologist" clenched her fists tightly - she was powerful, with quite good power, but she didn't know if she still had the courage to punch out when facing the "authority" that had been in her since childhood and since ancient times.

The rain is getting heavier...

Hearing her words, Taofik, who was already full of anger, became even more furious.

Richard, a Feysac mixed-race, was taller than both of them, but in order to prevent Miss Letty Orr, who was relatively the smallest among the three, from getting wet in the rain, Richard almost pressed the umbrella over his head, causing Tawfik to not dare to move and could only stand with stiff shoulders.

A person has to bow his head under an umbrella, but his mouth does not bow:
"I've already told you that you'll only cause more trouble if you stay here!"

"Go back soon. If you don't leave now, you're going to be buried with the rest of us. Don't expect anyone to collect your body!"

He thought that he had made a rather vicious curse. Only the people of the Southern Continent would be buried with the people of the Northern Continent. How could the nobles of the Northern Continent be buried with the inferiors of the Southern Continent?
This will definitely make her feel humiliated and want to go home!

"I..." Audrey began, wanting to say that she was indeed afraid, but she was afraid of death, not dying with you.

Then, Tawfik was hit on the back of his head, neither too hard nor too light. The Angel of Temperance said to Audrey calmly, "I'm sorry, this kid is like this. He has been stubborn and stubborn since he was young. When he was wearing clothes, others said he was wearing red, but he insisted that he was wearing brown and gray. He would talk back to anyone who said something wrong, and we even had several fights. Later, we found out after examination that this kid was born red and green color blind."

Taufik was shocked and his expression suddenly turned into an expression of excitement.

His mask was broken and he threw it away. Now he wished he could tear off a piece of his clothes and cover his face with it.

...Mr. Richard, you are really good at livening up the atmosphere... Audrey's face was complicated, and she felt slightly embarrassed for listening to a little secret that she didn't want to know. Richard led the two of them forward as if nothing had happened, and added:
"Then I drank the potion and it healed me."

Neither of the two people on the left responded, and the sound of rain echoed in their ears.

Richard asked Audrey casually, "Do you really want to stay here? To be honest, I invited you here to improve the mental state of the psychopaths here. You don't have to participate in our battle."

"Audrey, what is your purpose in participating? If you want to challenge yourself, there's no need to rush, and you don't have to choose now."

Well...Richard knew that this child was an outlier among the nobles, but not that outlier.

After having sufficient material conditions, people will naturally begin to pursue spiritual satisfaction.

Obviously, the spiritual satisfaction that Miss Audrey pursued was not luxury, gorgeous clothes and jewelry, pomp, waste, status and power, but simple help and kindness. She was happy to do these things and was good at doing them. Even if she couldn't let go of herself at first because of her own conditions, she always accepted it quickly.

Richard looked calm and looked around.

"Three." He muttered to himself.

He continued to walk forward without stopping, and Tawfik noticed that a few drops of blood were carried by the rain and slid past his feet, and soon disappeared.

“…I want to witness something with my own eyes.”

Audrey hesitated for a moment and said:

"To tell you the truth, I'm still scared, I'm very scared, Mr. Richard, I'm so afraid that I really died here, suddenly died in my nap for no reason, my parents and my brother are crying for me, my friends come Come to my funeral."

And Susie, and everyone in the Tarot Society...

“I’m so scared I’ll never see them again.”

What does it feel like to die? Audrey didn't know, and couldn't imagine.

She was too young. Even if she was an ordinary person, she had only lived about a quarter of her life. Medical resources were tilted towards her. Even in wartime, she could seek refuge with relatives in other countries to save her life... She didn't need to think about this, but now she had to think about it.

If she died in divine punishment, she would definitely not be able to go to the goddess' kingdom.

If she hadn't died in God's punishment, would she be able to go to the Kingdom of God in the future and sleep with her father, mother, elders and brothers?

Richard yawned and asked again:

"Then why do you want to stay? It's not too late to leave now. If a fight really breaks out later, you should know that lightning can cause near-fatal damage to spirits."

Tawfik silently left the team for a while, and walked forward along the blood trail, and saw three Storm Church priests who had twisted their own necks. Their hands were tightly holding both sides of their temples, and their necks were twisted more than ten times, half a meter long, and their heads were facing inland, as if they had just arrived.

Taufik ate their spirit bodies with his mouth open, erasing all traces, and then accelerated the precipitation of Beyonder characteristics, and brought them with him.

"I think it's too dangerous for you to stay."

Richard said, "You should leave, leave immediately."

While chatting and laughing, Richard twisted the neck of a saint who had the bad luck to bump into him, dragged him forward, and looked for a suitable place to dump the body. His fingers sank deep into the flesh of the dead, causing the body to shrink quickly without any blood flowing out. Audrey's spirituality was restricted, and she did not notice what was at her feet.

Let’s walk a little further… He thought, after a while, he would bring the Pope here to share their pressure.

As a Loen noble, she was willing to come to the colony, instead of taking it for granted that "the people of the northern continent brought civilization, jobs and modern construction here", or treating the people here as livestock and beasts. This was already quite outstanding.

Therefore, if such people want to go further, experience the colonial system itself, and challenge their own identity, there is no need to choose this dangerous moment.

Rationally speaking, Richard felt that it would be a pity if Audrey died like this. Emotionally speaking, he didn't mind taking her deeper into danger and then destroying her container at the most dangerous moment.

“There’s just some hesitation, confusion and hesitation.”

"This is normal. Everyone will do this before they really make up their minds. Unless it is in the face of principles and bottom lines, anything they do to escape can be understood." Richard said calmly. Audrey did not respond directly to this topic, but smiled and said:

“Since I became an ‘audience’, I always show the side of myself that others can accept the most and take care of their most delicate emotions. This is not a bad thing, but in this way, I can’t know what the real me looks like in the eyes of others. I can’t uncover the gorgeous clothes and see the rotten flesh and blood underneath, and I can’t figure out where the problem lies.

"I have recently been trying to reveal my true state in some details to see what attitude people around me would have in the current situation, to see if they still think I am the kind, gentle, and virtuous lady, or Dr. Letty Orr."

Taufik returned to the team quietly, as if he had never left.

At this point, she suddenly fell silent, and after several seconds she sighed and said:

"The chasm..."

"heavy……"

"It stings..."

"ashamed……"

Richard listened quietly and did not comment on Miss Audrey's words.

"...The emperor of Loen who failed to be promoted but survived might have a hostile relationship with the God of Thunder. The God of Thunder asked the Pope to serve as the interim emperor, but actually ignored the choice of the next royal family. It is obvious that he intends to impact the original order of the emperor."

Because He was thinking about something else.

He has not yet sensed the emergence of a strong person from the path of "Judge" or "Lawyer", which means that this should be a unilateral action of the God of Thunder, emphasizing the majesty and power of the church and has nothing to do with the secular order.

“Hahahaha, that emperor will definitely not let go of the colonies… Even if theocracy and imperial power are hostile, they still have common positions and interests…”

Audrey did not ask for any feedback from the other party. She just shook her head and laughed at herself: "I can no longer see myself clearly, or I am not sure that what I see is myself. I want to show some details that I usually hide and avoid, so that I can see clearly what I really look like in the eyes of others."

"I can only say that my time as Dr. Letty Orr was a pretty relaxing and happy time for me."

"I don't have to be bound by my identity, etiquette or bloodline. It's okay to roll around in the sandpit with the kids, and it's okay to use some force on disobedient patients. There won't be bodyguards pulling me away, and no one will say that this is against the rules."

After a pause, she moved the corner of her mouth with a smile and said:
"However, I can only maintain this identity, because once I show my noble status, it will cause chaos."

"Also, um, my country is also a little weak, which should be the reason why the gods took action here. I want to help others. It's easy to say, but when I actually do it, I find that I can't be as firm and decisive as I imagined."

"Some of them are my uncles and aunts, some are my cousins, some are friends I have known since childhood, some are elders who take good care of me, and some are very friendly people who I often meet at various banquets and charity events. They made up my childhood, gave me so much, and are a part of my growth, carrying my beautiful memories of the past..."

"Moreover, the food they stored was not looted, so their explanation actually has some rationality."

Richard raised his head and the hemp rope on Tawfik's wrist moved.

"What a bad bunch of relatives! Could you please tell me their names?" Richard asked with a smile.

Audrey shook her head decisively.

"I just can't bring myself to target them and try to take away some of their wealth (or even their lives), at least not right now."

When she said these words, Audrey's voice unconsciously became louder, as if she was arguing with someone.

She immediately realized her slight misstep and remained silent for two seconds before continuing:

"So, I want to get to know myself more deeply, strip off the false appearance of warmth, and ask myself what I really want under different gazes. Are my past thoughts impulsive, hypocritical, naive, or strong thoughts from the heart?"

"That's why I haven't left yet. If I leave now, I will definitely miss a lot of things."

At this point, "Justice" Audrey suddenly smiled:
"I used to think I strictly followed the rule of 'you're just acting', but now I realize that I'm almost addicted to acting."

"Unlike other channels, which require you to play different roles and professions, the role-playing part of the 'audience' channel is completely integrated with your daily life, and sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them."

"The simplest example is, who doesn't want to be liked by everyone? So, when I face different people, I will put on different personality masks, and use the ability of the 'audience' path to create an image that best meets the other person's wishes. When this happens more and more, when you do this to everyone, you are actually addicted to 'acting' and are about to lose yourself."

Audrey was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"During this period of time, I have a different understanding of many things than before."

"Before the war, many poor people, workers and farmers lived a difficult life similar to today, suffering from hunger and pain for a long time. The amendment of the Poor Law, the mandatory regulations on working hours and environment, and the control of air pollution did bring some improvements, but only some... But after the war, there was no change in all this."

"When the war is over, if, if we don't make changes, will similar things happen again?"

As she spoke, Audrey pursed her lips and fell silent.

Richard exhaled a sigh of relief. Facing Audrey's confusion, he considered for a moment and did not say the answer in his mind. He asked in a slightly more tactful way:
"Do you think that if these people die, everyone will live a good life?"

The thunder in the sky suddenly became louder, as if a roar was coming from far away.

Richard sneered, judged the direction, then looked at Audrey's dull expression, shrugged, and said with a relaxed tone:

"Do you understand? You need to find the answers to these questions, including your truest thoughts just now."

"You have done a good job. The prayers that take place in the hospital are more devout than those in any church."

"Next, even if you become a farmer, a poor person, or a wanderer, you will probably get mostly negative feedback. But what you want is a solution, not just piling up despair."

Audrey listened attentively and nodded seriously.
“But I’m going to try to do it.”

Very good, Richard thought, and then he gave the umbrella to Tawfik, leaving Audrey under it.

"Since you witnessed it, you shouldn't get involved in the angels' fight," Richard said. "Take her to another town. Save as many as you can."

"Force her to repatriate when necessary, don't worry about her opinion."

TBC

As he spoke, Richard's figure disappeared from the material world and appeared directly in the spiritual world.

The first thing he saw was a gorgeous triple crown. The second time he saw was a middle-aged man with black hair and a peaceful expression. Finally, he saw a red moon and stars hanging in the sky, and the moonlight was like a sickle.

"It's very interesting," Richard said. "Two hundred years ago, I never would have thought that I would have such a grand occasion."
