Chapter 204 Audrey's Dream Adventure
It was getting late, and Audrey and Earl Hall just had dinner at Aster Manor and had no intention of staying here.
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Audrey and Earl Hall took a carriage back to their suburban manor.
It's about half an hour's drive from Aster Manor.
Hastur sent Audrey and Earl Hall away, and when he came back, he saw Gray Lint squatting on the ground, stroking Haug's dog's head, and whispering to it.
Hasta also saw the performance of Hauge and Graylingt today. This really cannot be blamed on Hauge. It is really that Graylingt’s marksmanship is too poor. He took aim for a long time several times and just shot. Missed.
In the end, Hauge captured the silly roe deer alone.
"Hasta, should I practice my marksmanship?"
"If you are interested, I have a club here that I can recommend to you."
Hasta told Graylint about the club where Grayk was introduced to him last time.
"Okay, I'll go take a look after a while."
After hearing these words, Hastur understood that Gray Lint would not go.
"Hasta, do you think Haug is smarter or Susie is more powerful?"
"Susie." Hasta gave his answer without hesitation.
"I feel the same way. I really don't know how Audrey trained Susie. I am obviously the animal trainer, and Haug, who was trained by me myself, logically should not lose to Susie." Grayling Te sighed in confusion.
Hasta thought for a moment and said, "Maybe you should look for some more reasons in yourself."
What he actually meant by this was that Gray Linte did not have as much financial resources as Audrey, so it would be difficult for him to support an extraordinary creature.
It is estimated that being promoted to Sequence 8 is already the top, and now Susie is already a Sequence 8 mind reader. The difference is not even a slight difference.
Another thing is that Hauge doesn't seem to be as smart as Susie.
"It's true that I didn't do well enough. I will definitely work harder when I go back."
Gray Lint regained his fighting spirit and confidence, and Hastur could only wish him good luck.
…
Late at night, in a suburban manor, there is a room where you can admire a large ginkgo tree by opening the window.
Audrey was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and Susie's nest was on the right side of the end of the bed. She was also resting on the ground at this moment.
Mist, invisible fog spreads in the dream world.
Audrey felt like she was in a misty forest, where she was alone, and Susie, who had been with her, was nowhere to be seen.
The surrounding trees are different from those seen on ordinary days. They are not covered by leaves, only bare trunks are left.
The surroundings suddenly became lifeless, and all that was left was a scene of dying people.
Audrey was a little flustered, but besides that, she was also looking forward to it and eager to try.
She has been looking forward to such an adventure even before she stepped into the extraordinary world.
But except for the magic mirror incident, which made her meet Mr. Fool and join the Tarot Club, her world still hasn't changed much.
Daily life is still so ordinary, nothing new.
Now a mysterious and unknown journey was unfolding before her eyes, and she was a little excited. However, facing the unknown, she still couldn't help but feel fear.
She did not stay where she was, but kept walking forward.
As we go deeper, the fog becomes thicker, and the surrounding trees, with only their branches remaining bare, seem to gradually come to life.
The branches are arms, and they are waving in disorder, not knowing whether they are cheering for Audrey's arrival, or jumping for joy in order to have a feast later.
Audrey was a little scared at first. She stayed where she was and observed them for a long time. Seeing that they had no intention of harming her, she slowly let go of her worries and moved on.
The main tree trunk, which was originally motionless, began to twist like a human body as the fog deepened.
They are like tall and twisted giants, fogging happily at this moment.
Whenever Audrey comes within a certain range, they will return to an immobile posture.
Audrey's eyes widened slightly. She really liked this scene. It was also in line with her fantasy of the extraordinary world.
Weird and mysterious.
The mysterious being living deep in this misty forest could be a vicious cursed witch or a magical elf from myths and legends.
Audrey continued walking deeper with a hint of expectation, and she was also worried about whether she would encounter danger.
But now, her consciousness is awake, but she has been unable to wake up. Her consciousness seems to be pulled into a dream by some force and cannot escape.
"If I am really in danger, I can seek help from Mr. Fool."
With this idea in mind, Audrey was cautious and vaguely expected to go deeper into the woods ahead.
Apart from trees or trees, I didn't see a single moving creature along the way.
She didn't see the scary witches or magical elves. All she saw was a strange forest shrouded in mist.
This foggy world seems to have no end and no boundaries. No matter which direction Audrey chooses to go, she will never encounter any special events.
This turned her initial expectation into disappointment.
The only good thing is that this foggy world does not harm her ability, because this is her dream, and such changes only occur due to the influence of some extraordinary power.
"I can only wait until I wake up automatically tomorrow morning."
Audrey sighed and chose another direction to go deeper.
…
It was dawn, and the sun had risen from the windowsill to the roof.
Susie had woken up and went out for a walk, but Audrey was still sleeping.
The maid didn't suspect anything at first, but simply thought that Audrey was tired from hunting in the forest yesterday, so she was more sleepy today.
It wasn't until the sunset light dyed the ginkgo trees and the breeze gently knocked on the window.
The maid who was responsible for taking care of Audrey discovered the abnormality. She just tried to wake Audrey at first, after all, sleeping too long was not good for the body.
But she couldn't wake her up. No matter how loud she shouted, Audrey, who was sleeping in bed, never opened her eyes.
Susie was so anxious that she kept walking back and forth around the bed, barking non-stop.
Soon, this matter alarmed Earl Hall.
He had a wide range of knowledge. After thinking for a while, he guessed that the abnormality in Audrey might be related to hunting in the forest yesterday.
When he heard that Audrey had encountered fog yesterday and was separated from others for a short time, he was basically certain that there was an extraordinary factor in this matter!
Earl Hall's face was livid. On the one hand, he sent someone to Backlund to ask for help, and on the other hand, he sent someone to notify Hastur.
Yesterday's hunting activities were arranged by him. In just one night, Audrey encountered such a situation. Whether he knew it or not, he had the responsibility to solve this matter!
When Hastur and Grallint rushed to the manor where Earl Hall was, it was almost evening.
"You must give me an explanation for this matter!"
Faced with Earl Hall's almost ultimatum, Hastur felt heavy.
He observed Audrey's situation. She slept very soundly. There was no problem with her body in all aspects. The only problem might be her spiritual world.
For example, dreams are extraordinary powers that can make people's consciousness fall asleep forever.
Yesterday, he and Earl Hall and others did not encounter fog, but Audrey, who encountered fog, had problems. It can be seen that the abnormality of Audrey must be related to yesterday's fog!
"Count Hall, I need Susie to take me to the place where Miss Audrey went yesterday."
"Okay."
Count Hall asked Hasta to take Susie away with a gloomy face. Grallint also wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Hasta.
The current situation is unclear, and he doesn't want to take Grallint with him. If there is any problem, he will go and solve it by himself.
At the entrance of the forest, Hasta took Susie on the road alone.
"Susie, take me to the place where you encountered the fog yesterday. I know you are very smart, and you should understand what I mean."
"Woof!"
Susie started to trot, and Hasta followed behind, and soon came to the area where Susie and Audrey encountered the fog yesterday.
At the moment, the sky has completely darkened, and it is dark all around.
But the fog did not reappear, and this area is no different from other places.
Hasta and Susie searched nearby for a while, but did not find anything special.
"Woof..."
Susie's voice was low and she was depressed. She was very worried about Audrey's situation.
"Don't worry, I will find a way to save her."
Hasta squatted down and stroked Susie's head, signaling her not to be too sad.
"Woof woof..."
Susie lay on the ground, her ears drooping, feeling helpless.
It was just a dog, and this situation was beyond its ability to handle. It didn't know how to help Audrey at all.
"Susie, help me guard around, and notify me immediately if anything happens." Hasta said and lay down.
"Woof?"
Susie looked at Hasta, who had closed his eyes, with a puzzled look on her face, and finally chose to believe Mr. Hasta.
It had always had a hunch that Mr. Hasta was not simple.
Maybe he could really help Audrey.
Susie cheered up again and began to patrol around to prevent anything from disturbing Hasta at the moment.
