1069 "Under the Sea" (2/2)
”Was that pregnant lady a demigod?” Audrey asked curiously.
”No.” Leonard shook his head. ”But she was pregnant with an evil god's spawn.”
Is that so... Audrey didn't ask further. She knew very well that the adventure and exploration hadn't ended, and that wasting time wasn't an option.
She then looked at Gehrman Sparrow, who was wearing a black trench coat and holding a bronze cross and small metal bottle, and said with a smile, ”Thank you for affecting our senses.
”Uh, where should we go next?”
As an experienced Spectator, it wasn't difficult to determine the fact that she had received Mr. World's help from making a comparison.
Klein controlled himself from subconsciously furrowing his brows, and he looked around.
”Doesn't this sea of collective subconscious have a core region to it?”
”No.” Audrey shook her head seriously. ”Wherever there are living beings, there's a sea of subconscious. There's no such thing as someone who's more important and lofty. This illusory sea won't really stir, and the situations within the different areas will depend on their actual surroundings. We call it a 'precipitating effect.' To put it simply, the sea of collective subconscious of Loen will be quite different from Intis, because it precipitates the strong emotions and feelings of generations of Loenese. In contrast, this will also affect the citizens of both countries, making them have different qualities and personalities to a certain extent...”
After explaining this a little, Audrey concluded:
”If that's the case, how can there be a general consensus of a core within the sea of collective subconscious?”
Klein nodded and asked thoughtfully, ”In other words, you can't give any effective suggestions on where to go?”
Mr. World is so direct... If it were another lady or gentleman with a more fragile heart, they would definitely be embarrassed and feel hurt... As the thought flashed through her mind, Audrey saw The World's pair of deep, brown eyes which were nearly black in color. They were in no way crazy or cold. Instead, they were calm and tranquil.
This... Audrey instantly came to a realization. She realized that Mr. World was doing such things on purpose so that she could experience the various problems within the details of a joint operation, allowing her to gain more experience.
Yes.” She nodded frankly, not feeling embarrassed at all.
Klein secretly nodded and looked at The Star Leonard.
”Don't look at me. My expertise isn't in this strange sea of collective subconscious.” Leonard immediately waved his hands.
Compared to Miss Justice, having participated in countless operations, he knew that he shouldn't force it when he shouldn't.
”Then follow me.” Klein looked away and moved the Unshadowed Crucifix which had turned bronze again to the hand holding the metal bottle, and he took out a gold coin.
Ding!
As the gold coin tumbled, he grabbed it without looking at the results. He looked in a direction and widened his stride. This is a divination technique... Audrey was enlightened.
She looked at The World's serious and calm side profile, black trench coat, silk top hat, and bronze cross. For some reason, she felt like the other party was a preacher.
Leonard suddenly recalled something from the past.
It was the first case he had worked with Klein—to find a kidnapped child. At that time, it was also a way for Klein to lead the way through divination. He had been beside him the entire time.
Compared to his awkwardness before, it seems as if he had entered the mysterious world for more than ten years now... Sigh, it's only been over a year... Leonard placed his hands in his pockets as he followed closely behind Klein.
Audrey glanced at him and felt the change in his mood.
Mr. Star and Mr. World not only know each other in real life, but they were probably rather close friends. Yes, they have at least met frequently in the past one to two years... As she made the judgment, she didn't slow down her steps. Combining what she had learned, she observed the surroundings and identified which spots might hide ”maelstroms” and ”dangerous creatures.”
With her help, Klein's lead went very smoothly. It was nothing like how they had directly encountered a mark like the giant phantom.
Occasionally, they would walk straight and turn at other times. After some time, the area before the trio suddenly opened up.
In front of them was a huge crater in the deep sea. In the middle of the pit was an island-sized city.
The foundation of the city was grayish-white in color, and on it were several hundred-meter tall magnificent stone columns. They either stood there on their own, or they held up majestic ancient palaces together. They were bizarre and magnificent, unlike something built by ordinary creatures.
Although Audrey didn't know the city, an idea instantly appeared in her mind:
City of Miracles, Liveseyd...
