Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 472 Download Genshin Impact in Your Mind (Two-in-One)

With a light and brisk pace, Audrey, wearing a red hood, walked towards her own villa.

Like a girl who hadn't yet reached adulthood, she illogically pulled a half-human-sized teddy bear from a tiny pouch hanging from her waist and hugged it to her chest, seemingly not liking to walk alone in the eerie woods at night.

These are two objects created by Audrey herself.

The hat on its head is "Little Red Riding Hood's Little Red Riding Hood," named after Russell's Fables. The effect is simple: to attract danger through fate, thus better drawing hidden dangers into the open.

The teddy bear in her hand was named "Hibbert," after Audrey's brother, Hibbert Hall.

“Emperor Roselle was right. Doing good deeds does indeed make people happy. Moreover, helping others is a virtue.” Audrey said softly as she walked through the woods, deliberately stepping on the scorched yellow leaves to make a crunching sound.

It seemed that he was deliberately making noise to keep himself company out of fear.

"Emperor Roselle also said that one should keep one's promises. This is also a virtue." A gentle, smiling voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Audrey's pupils dilated instantly, and she quickly turned her head to the side. There stood Herwin Lambis, with a full head of silver hair, light blue eyes, and neat clothes, next to a large tree diagonally opposite her!

Audrey's eyes were first confused, then suddenly brightened, as if she had finally woken up from a long dream and remembered all the things that had been forgotten and ignored.

“Mr. Lambis, what are you doing here…” She made her voice slightly unsteady, as if she were still lost in a dream.

As she spoke, Audrey's steps slowed until she stood still. The teddy bear he had been holding and rocking from side to side stopped shaking its head as Audrey stopped moving.

Looking at the man in front of her, Audrey, with the help of her "psychologist" to control her emotions, allowed the unavoidable feeling of "joy" to pass by like a normal thought, without causing any abnormality.

We've finally caught you! We can't let you get away...

Without a doubt, she knew that her first priority was to deal with Herwin Lambis's next questions, without arousing any suspicion in the demigod, and without letting him sense the danger in advance so that he could escape.

Audrey's eyes quickly returned to normal, though a slight hint of wariness and fear remained.

This is a perfectly normal and reasonable emotion.

“Miss Audrey, it seems you haven’t been able to fulfill your promise to me. Breaking your word is not a good virtue.”

Herwin Lambis looked at Audrey, his voice gentle, his words, though reproachful, contained concern, which unknowingly melted away the wariness and fear in Audrey's eyes.

Audrey glanced at the villa not far away, then looked back at Herwin Lambis, pursing her lips and remaining silent.

A few seconds later, Audrey suddenly seemed to realize something and stared wide-eyed at Herwin Lambis.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she said firmly, "That's not what I promised you, I didn't promise you!"

“Of course, of course, but it makes no difference.” Herwin Lambis’s tone remained gentle.

In Audrey's room at a villa not far away.

Audrey, dressed in a magical girl outfit, using psychological invisibility, and hiding in her room, suddenly sensed that the doll she had sent out as bait had been subjected to psychological influence.

She quickly tapped her phone and sent the pre-edited message. Then, while smearing some kind of black, mud-like substance onto a mirror she carried with her, she transformed into a beam of light, passed through the transparent window, and left the room.

…………

In the woods.

While explaining his actions to Audrey in a casual tone, Herwin Lambis silently created a psychological alter ego and entered Audrey's mental island through the ocean of the collective unconscious.

In the vast ocean of the collective unconscious, a figure rapidly ascends from the seabed, climbs along manifested steps, penetrates the realm of the subconscious, and lands on "Audrey's" island of "mental body".

The figure was dressed in a black three-piece suit, with a full head of silver hair, resembling another Herwin Lambis. His face was devoid of any smile, his demeanor extremely sinister, parts of his skin covered in grayish-white scales, and his eyes, which had not only changed from pale blue to golden, but had also turned vertical, like those of some kind of animal.

Soon, he easily penetrated the undefended subconscious realm and ascended to the island of the "mental body," arriving at the depths of "Audrey's" mind.

At that moment, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

This island of the mind appears perfectly normal on the outside, but upon arrival, one discovers it is completely empty, practically devoid of anything. The illusory island is deathly still, devoid of any thoughts or ideas, utterly unaffected.

In the center of the island, however, floated a golden feather.

"Oh no!" Herwin Lambis's alter ego widened its eyes.

At the same time, his physical body heard a crisp rebuke:

"Bite him to death, Hippel!"

This alter ego did not immediately leave this island of the mind, but instead sent pieces of gray-white dragon scales into the island's foundation, which is the vast subconscious realm of humanity.

Since this puppet was able to act without him noticing anything beforehand, there must be a manipulator behind it. Therefore, he intends to use the connection between the manipulator and the puppet to exert influence on the manipulator in return.

Meanwhile, at Herwin Lambis's true form, the teddy bear in front of him suddenly came to life. It left the embrace of the doll Audrey, rapidly expanded in size, and grew to the size of a real brown bear. It opened its mouth and roared at Herwin Lambis.

Without hesitation, Herwin Lambis, realizing the abnormality, turned extremely cold. His back hunched slightly, and his body visibly swelled. His pupils then narrowed, turning from pale blue to golden yellow. Grayish-white, stone-like scales sprouted from his face, the backs of his hands, and every inch of his exposed skin.

The brown bear, Hibbert, lunged forward and bit Herwin Lambis's raised left arm, which he was using to block.

With a tearing sound, his sleeves were ripped apart, and his white shirt, black vest, formal jacket, and straight-leg trousers were all torn, revealing the dragon scales underneath.

Herwin Lambis raised his right hand, swung his fist, and slammed it hard into Hilbert's head.

boom!
The brown bear's head was knocked to one side.

In an instant, Herwin Lambis transformed into an enormous monster, larger than the two-meter-tall brown bear. Except for its head, which retained a human form, the rest of its body had completely mutated, resembling a gray-white dragon that had not yet fully evolved and whose body had not yet fully grown.

Then he raised his dragon claw and slammed the brown bear, Hibbert, to the ground.

A whistle suddenly rang out, sounding like knights calling their horses from the stables.

Several rainbows appeared, intertwining and covering the forest like a spider web.

Herwin Lambis flapped his wings and looked up at the rainbow.

This giant dragon has two gray, skin-covered wings on its back, and its limbs are quite thick. The gray-white scales on its surface are engraved with complex and three-dimensional mysterious symbols that extend into its flesh and blood and outwards into the surrounding void, as if they are intertwined into something that does not belong to the real world. Just looking at it can drive people crazy, distort their thoughts, and taint their spirits with all sorts of seemingly heartfelt ideas, making them want to tear themselves apart or destroy themselves.

This is an incomplete mythological creature form from the "audience" perspective!
Without the slightest hesitation, Herwin Rambis immediately entered his strongest battle state, showing no sign of underestimating his opponent.

At the same time, Herwin Lambis, inside the Audrey Doll's Mind Island, also completed his incomplete mythical creature transformation and launched an attack on the golden feather in front of him.

Being able to break free from his hypnosis is unusual enough. But for a Sequence Six to dare to attack him when facing him directly is even more unusual.

He saw a figure standing on the rainbow, looking down at him. It seemed to be a centaur, or a person sitting on horseback.

In short, due to the distance and the fact that it was nighttime, he was unable to identify what it was.

But as a "spectator," he could tell that the attacker was the real Audrey just by not being able to see her face and demeanor!

He let out a low growl, causing the divine defilement to spread rapidly.

They carried a certain will, blowing in all directions. Any creature caught in their wake inevitably exhibited various abnormal states: some stood frozen, trembling; others blindly and irrationally fled to the corners of the garden; some lost control of their bladder and bowels, their legs collapsing weakly; some fainted and fell into a coma; and still others displayed fanatical expressions, becoming followers of the dragon.

For demigods who have not reached the angelic rank, in order to fight in the form of a mythical creature, they must have an extremely strong will and a very firm belief. Otherwise, they will not be able to control their tendency to go crazy and lose control, and will most likely lose their minds and truly become monsters.

However, the "audience" approach doesn't require this. They have "soothing" and treatments for the mind and spirit, so they are not helpless in the face of madness and loss of control. Therefore, as long as the battle doesn't last too long, they can use the mythical creature form whenever they want and return to normal whenever they want.

Audrey's doll immediately froze on the spot.

The impact of divinity had a significant effect on the Feathered Dust within her, causing the puppet to quickly lose its fighting ability.

[Little Red Riding Hood's Little Red Riding Hood] rose high on its own without any wind, detaching itself from the doll Audrey.

This strange object has the power to attract danger, and it is quite likely to cause the wearer's death.

It transformed into a piece of red cloth, seemingly intending to wrap itself around Herwin Lambis.

Unfortunately, Herwin Rambis simply flapped his wings, and a strong wind blew the red cloak into a tree.

Click.

There was a crisp sound of a door opening.

A door was opened on the back of the brown bear, Hibbert, and a dense swarm of insects sprayed out from it.

This strange object is not a doll, but a leather suit!

Its effect is to conceal the creature under the suit.

These insects quickly coalesced into a slender, white hand wearing a ring, which made a grabbing motion out of thin air and then gently twisted it.

The dragon's might, spreading in this direction, quickly distorted its target.

Although it failed to completely distort them, the dragon's might applied to them did not have a very good effect either.

Soon, a large number of insects, like a burst of black smoke, spewed out from behind the brown bear, condensing in the air into a beautiful headless figure.

Edsack left her head, brain and all, at Audrey's villa, far out of Herwin Lambis's reach.

Taking advantage of the "Dragon's Might" sweeping around, Herwin Lambis's will combined with his thoughts, transforming into one illusory and sinister version of himself after another. From the vast ocean of collective subconsciousness, which was unseen by most extraordinary beings, he rapidly approached Audrey in the sky and the headless woman beside him.

Audrey in the sky swiftly used her pen-wielding abilities to write two symbols out of thin air, something the demon Serres had taught her, saying it was incredibly effective against enemies in the psychological realm.

Those were two Chinese characters.

[Idiot] [Bitch].

The rapidly approaching clones suddenly felt a heaviness in their heads, a blockage in their thoughts, and difficulty concentrating on many things.

But the next moment they changed their minds and felt that they were right.

Sarah the White Horse leaped nimbly onto another section of the rainbow, while Herwin Lambis's alter egos began to wrestle as they collided with each other.

Audrey reached out and seemingly grasped a chess piece out of thin air, gently placing it on the unseen chessboard in front of her.

Then she reached out and grabbed at the air, pulling out a large, translucent blue bow taller than herself. She drew the bowstring, and three blue arrows appeared on it.

Whoosh!
The arrows detached from the longbow, with the middle one flying in a straight line towards Herwin Lambis, while the other two arrows flew in an arc, covering a greater distance, yet maintaining the same speed as the middle arrow that flew in a straight line.

Herwin Lambis, now a dragon, took flight, nimbly dodging the three arrows. He hovered in mid-air, using "Dragon's Might" and "Breath" to influence Audrey, coordinating with the battle in the mind realm.

As for the several personality clones who were fighting amongst themselves, they had long since returned to normal through mutual healing. They stirred up a terrifying mental storm in the surrounding collective unconscious ocean, causing it to repeatedly pound against Audrey's consciousness island.

Miss Sarah immediately leaped into the air, seemingly stepping on the air itself, and jumped towards an even higher place. Audrey, suppressing the nausea and swaying sensation, opened her arms as if to embrace the sky.

In the sky, around Audrey, illusory pure white ripples spread out, from which one after another, various collectibles emerged, numbering nearly a hundred.

At the same time, the ground where the three arrows had struck quickly froze, and ice spikes emerged from the frozen ground, flying towards Herwin Lambis in the sky.

Among the newly summoned artifacts were bells that could cleanse the soul with a gentle shake, fountains that appeared above Audrey's head and continuously poured out water that could restore spirituality, boxes that emitted piercing noises, and all sorts of ancient-looking cold weapons.

Never try to fight someone who relies on intellect.

Under the command of Audrey, who was wearing sunglasses, these weapons launched an attack on Herwin Lambis.

These sunglasses are also a marvel, as they allow her to look directly at Herwin Lambis.

Herwin Lambis's actions were clear to this Sequence 5 "previewer," and every move was within her prediction.

That's right, she has indeed advanced to Sequence Five, digested the potion, and completed the ritual within the past two months:

Break through the limits set by predecessors, achieve an unprecedented breakthrough in the history of science, gain the approval of a demigod, and convince him that your IQ surpasses his.

Neither of these two parts was difficult for her. She had already accomplished the former. Using her pure destiny and the extraordinary abilities of the "Building Master" to create extraordinary items, integrating destiny into the creation of sealed objects, was undoubtedly something that had never happened on this planet before. It was an unprecedented innovation and breakthrough.

The latter, she asked Mr. World for help, and hypnotized Mr. World Klein without any resistance, making him admit from the bottom of his heart that Miss Justice was smarter than him.

Sequence Five, the Mad Chess Player.

Audrey once again grabbed a cell phone-like object and held it high above Herwin Lambis.

A flash of white light, and Herwin Rambis suddenly felt something being implanted into his mental island.
