Ring of Fate

Chapter 1122 Going Home
After leaving the luxurious villa that originally belonged to her and was now occupied by Lumian and others, Ms. Justice paused for two seconds and said to Susie beside her:

"We go home."

"Go home?" Susie's tone suddenly became a little dazed.

"Yes, let's go back to Backlund." Ms. Justice smiled, her green eyes bright, full of longing and expectation, as if she had returned to her teenage years.

Susie completely understood what Audrey meant, and a nostalgic expression appeared on her dog face:

"it is good."

Over the years, she and Audrey had returned to Backlund before. After the Red Moon came, they stayed there for a long time, secretly providing protection for the Hall family. But this time, what Audrey wanted to do was to truly return to her family, to be with her parents and other relatives.

The figure of "Justice" Audrey quickly became illusory, and she traveled through the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness with Susie, who had become a "manipulator".

Her voice, which was clearly filled with emotion, remained there and gradually dissipated in the wind:
"The prelude to the final battle is about to begin. If I don't go home now, there will be no chance. I don't want to greet the real doomsday with regrets..."

Loen Kingdom, Backlund.

The figures of "Justice" Audrey and Susie walked out of the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness and entered a street very close to Queens.

They were not in a hurry to go home, but strolled along the streets enjoying their daily lives.

No one noticed them, and no one noticed that Earl Hall's daughter was mingle with the crowd without her maid and bodyguard, looking around.

At this time, gentlemen wearing silk hats and well-dressed, and ladies holding parasols were going in and out of department stores, high-end cafes, opera houses, and other places. Two- or four-seater horse-drawn carriages hurriedly passed by. There was a small circus performing next to the fountain in the middle of the street, and many children gathered around. In the distance, a mechanical four-wheeled vehicle spewing white steam was driving away, making the tremors of the road gradually fade away...

"Justice" Audrey watched the scene intently, without hiding her nostalgia.

Suddenly, she had insight into something and turned her eyes to a man and a woman who were about to get on a four-wheeled, four-seater carriage.

The former wore a black suit, while the latter wore a yellow long skirt with low-hanging tulle and had a fresh makeup.

Just as "Justice" Audrey looked over, the two men suddenly froze in place.

Brown or green plants, including branches and vines, grew wildly in the corners of their eyes, nostrils, mouths, ear holes and multiple pores.

Their eyes quickly turned scarlet as they looked at the driver and the pedestrians around them with strong malice.

They "felt" that they should wait a little longer until they were in better condition before launching an attack.

But their changes did not go unnoticed by the coachman and others. Their screams of fear pierced the tranquility and bustle, echoing throughout the street.

Passersby tried their best to escape from the scene. In just a few seconds, there was no one around the man and woman.

Their madness was then ignited. Amidst the sound of a bang, balls of flesh and blood mixed with green plants and crimson moonlight were thrown out.

Soon, a team of "Nighthawks" wearing the holy emblem of darkness rushed over.

They quickly dealt with the blood, flesh and debris that made their scalps tingle.

The passers-by who were originally running suddenly slowed down their pace, some started chatting and laughing with their companions, some turned into the nearby cafe and ordered a cup of coffee with dessert, feeling leisurely and comfortable.

The coachman also returned to his carriage, looking into the distance, waiting for his guests.

They all ignored the Nighthawks' efforts to clean up the scene, and they didn't even glance over there.

They seemed to have forgotten what had just happened and returned to their daily lives.

"Justice" Audrey stopped and watched for a while, sighed, and continued walking towards Queens.

Not long after, she took Susie into the ocean of collective subconsciousness again and walked out of a corner of the bedroom that she had not set foot in for many years.

Inside the room, another Audrey, wearing a green and white dress, was sitting in front of the dressing table, putting on small pearl earrings.

She turned her body and looked at Justice Audrey, and said in surprise:

"You're finally back!"

She immediately asked in a tone of inquiry:
"You became an angel?"

"Justice" Audrey smiled and nodded:
"Yes, it took a long time to prepare for the ceremony, and it was only completed three months ago."

The promotion ceremony of "Audience" Path Sequence 2 "Insight" requires going deep into the subconscious of at least ten thousand humans, figuring out the corresponding person's truest fear, most instinctive desire, and the root of all psychological problems, and then leaving your own mark.

This is not only cumbersome, but also dangerous, because everyone has divinity, is eroded and influenced by the ocean of collective subconsciousness, and has inherited the most profound cognitions and impressions of ancient humans, so that there is chaos, madness, and primitiveness in the depths of the subconscious. If you want to gain insight into these, you must enter in person. If you are not careful or something unexpected happens, you will be polluted, mentally ill, or even out of control.

In this ritual, the numerical requirement can be reduced by using Beyonders of higher status, but this means a greater risk - if one goes deep into the subconscious of the "Magician", one is likely to encounter the spiritual imprint or past shadow left by Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun. If one targets Lumian, he alone can meet the requirements of the ritual, but in the insight he will inevitably face the most primitive and craziest spirit, the figure of the original creator or "Original God".

"Isn't that dangerous?" Audrey, who was wearing pearl earrings, asked curiously.

She is already in her twenties, and her manners and temperament have matured, but there is still a bit of girlish innocence in her speech.

"Justice" Audrey smiled and said:

"It is indeed dangerous. In the process of preparing for the ritual, I have seen the worst human nature, the craziest desires, the most confused cognitions. I have also seen the noblest personalities, the most beautiful emotions, and the most sublime ideals. Sometimes, a pair of contradictory things actually exist simultaneously in the depths of a person's subconscious."

"Human nature is complicated." Audrey nodded in agreement.

She observed Justice Audrey for a few seconds, then asked with a sigh and some nostalgia:
"You've been to a lot of places over the years, right?"

Audrey said with a gentle smile:
"I lived in the East District for a year, in the south of Trier Botanical Garden for a year, in the South Continent for a year, and in several large cities along the coast of the Intercoastal Sea for nearly two years. It is a country of steel and steam. There is a kind of building that is like a big tree made of steel. They are very close to each other, and the 'branches' are connected. Every piece of 'bark' and every piece of 'leaf' is a room, where a family lives, the families of workers. Only a few 'leaves' and 'bark' can be illuminated by the sun..."

Audrey listened attentively, as if she had also been to so many places and seen so many things.

After a long time, she asked expectantly:
"Do you have an answer?"

"There is no answer that can answer all questions." "Justice" Audrey laughed at herself and said, "I only understand one thing now, that is, human beings must unite and show their overall strength to the gods in order to obtain a higher status, just like workers, farmers, herdsmen, and small clerks must not be afraid of danger, unite, and show their overall strength to the upper class and rulers in order to win better treatment and more protection.

"So, we cannot stand on the side of those beings who are born as gods. They do not need anchors. Humans are of no use and meaning to them. If they gain the final victory, our existence and destruction, happiness and suffering will only depend on their joys, anger, sorrows, and chaotic thoughts, and we will be completely powerless."

Audrey heard the melancholy and worry in Justice's tone, so she consoled him in a playful tone:

“We do not need to be born as gods, but we are born noble.”

"No." Audrey "Justice" shook her head and said with a faint smile, "Nobleness is not about bloodline, identity, or status, but about heart and character."

She extended her right hand to Audrey, who was wearing a green and white dress.

"Welcome home~" Audrey smiled and high-fived Justice.

With a crisp sound of "pa", the two figures suddenly overlapped and could no longer be distinguished from each other.

Audrey changed into the green and white dress, put on pearl earrings, put on some simple makeup, left the bedroom, and accompanied by the maid and Susie, went down the stairs, crossed the hall, and came to the second floor of the dance floor.

There are crystal chandeliers hanging here, and a whole band is playing. Men and women in formal suits and with elegant manners are holding wine glasses, chatting in groups of three or five, or dancing in pairs on the dance floor to the music.

Audrey took a glass of light golden champagne from the tray carried by the waiter and stood by the railing on the second floor. She smiled gently as she watched her father, Earl Hall, and her mother, Lady Caitlin, chatting with the nobles she was very familiar with, and watched her eldest and second brothers dancing with the ladies.

She didn't participate, just watched with a smile on her face.

Late at night, people all over Backlund had the same dream.

In the dream, a voice seemed to say:
"Mr. Medici, Lumian Lee wants to meet with you. You decide the time and place."

Normally, this sound could only echo in the dreams or hearts of Backlund residents. To spread to other cities and other countries, it needed to slowly spread and infect with the help of the ocean of collective subconsciousness. But this time, it was quickly heard by creatures outside Backlund, with almost no time interval.

…………

"Mr. Medici, Lumian Lee wants to meet with you. You decide the time and place."

The "Red Angel" Medici put his feet on the table and scratched his ears, laughing:

“Do you dare to make this decision today?

“I’ve been waiting for almost a year.”
