1193 Heading Eas (2/2)
As a Sequence 4 demigod, she neither could fly nor ”Teleport.” She also couldn't use the flames to ”jump” secretly. It would be fine if it was late at night, but if she wanted to use dreams as a springboard, she could only rely on her feet during the day and evening.
Oh… Actually, my speed isn't slow, but if I were to run faster than a steam train, I would definitely attract attention… There are so many powerhouses in Backlund, so there's no lack of existences that can see through my ”Psychological Invisibility”… Similarly, in my dragon form, I can fly, but that's just too eye-catching… Currently, I can only let my consciousness and Spirit Body enter the sea of collective subconscious, while I'm unable to bring my body in… As she pondered about the matter, Audrey could only consider purchasing Sealed Artifacts or mystical items that had ”Traveling” powers while deciding to travel through dreams if there were dreams. Otherwise, she could only rely on walking, carriages, or the metro.
What a simple demigod… Hmm, it's no wonder the full name is half-human, half-god. Those terrifying Beyonder powers are the godly side of things, while these are the human side of things… Audrey gave a self-deprecating laugh and reined in her thoughts.
…
Backlund, Hillston Borough.
Sitting beside the fireplace, Fors opened a book that was propped on her thigh as a platform for her to write.
Holding a pen in her hand, she stared at the horizontal lines on the paper and the tarot cards that were scattered on the ground for a long time.
”What's wrong? You don't want to lie to your teacher? No, everything you write will be the truth… You don't want to set up your teacher?” Xio walked over, crouched down, and looked up into Fors's eyes.
Fors shook her head.
”No, it's not because of this.
”I do feel a little guilty, but I know that this is a good thing for the Abraham family.
”I'm just hesitating. I keep feeling that our destinies will change after writing this letter.”
”Ah?” Xio was a little stunned when she heard that. She didn't quite understand what her good friend meant.
Fors let out a sigh and said, ”The battles from the past and now were actually not that dangerous for us. We had the ability to avoid it and obtain the corresponding resources to continue our peaceful lives. Therefore, my feelings for them don't run deep.
”We're like people standing beside a torrent. We could have watched everything go by safely, but after writing this letter, we might perhaps be swept into the torrent.”
Xio listened quietly. She opened her mouth and pursed her lips.
”If not for this, do you think we can avoid the torrent of fate?”
As she spoke, she picked up a tarot card from the ground.
The surface of the card depicted an angel blowing a trumpet and the deceased.
Judgment card.
Fors looked at the deck of tarot cards for a while before closing her eyes. She pulled her hair back and smiled.
”I understand.
”This is an inevitable destiny.”
After praying to Mr. Fool and after obtaining The Magician card, it was an unavoidable destiny.
The fountain pen in Fors's hand finally landed on the letter.
…
Pritz Harbor.
Dorian Gray Abraham, who had long left the fishermen's association and changed his identity, tore open the letter sent by his student.
As he quickly browsed through it, his expression went from shock, joy, and confusion to horror.
Bang!
Dorian threw away the letter in his hand and knocked down the table in front of him. It was like a monster hiding on that piece of paper with a curse.
He retreated to another corner, pulled open the drawer, and took out some items. Then, he rushed to the door and prepared to leave.
When his right hand touched the brass doorknob, Dorian's actions suddenly slowed down and finally stopped.
He slowly turned around and cast his gaze at the letter on the ground. There was a complicated look in his eyes.
After a few seconds, Dorian Gray Abraham slowly walked towards the letter. He walked with hesitation, feeling the dilemma and struggles, but he didn't stop. It was as if he had been seduced by the devil.
