Chapter 205 The Tower of the Spiritual World
The Hall of Stars.
Hastur sat at the head of the long table, looking through the Hall of Stars at the forest where his body was.
The originally ordinary forest, under the gaze of the stars, everything was exposed and restored to its original appearance.
A layer of light mist shrouded the sky above the forest.
The mist was almost transparent, and it was difficult to distinguish it with the naked eye, especially in the dark environment at night.
It was not quite accurate to say that it was fog. This layer of mist was more like some kind of miasma in the forest.
But there was obviously extraordinary power in it, and it could not be treated as ordinary fog or miasma.
Hastur used a higher perspective to overlook the entire forest, including his Aster Manor and Earl Hall Manor where Audrey was.
With his current ability, it was not difficult to do this.
He only needed to regard himself as a star, and he could pass through the Hall of Stars, live above the starry sky, and overlook everything around him.
Under this field of vision, the movement of mist or miasma was clear at a glance.
The mist that was originally in pieces, now part of it turned into a stream of small rivers, flowing from this end of the forest to Earl Hall's manor.
To be precise, it flowed into Audrey's body.
This should be the reason why Audrey was in a deep sleep.
Hasta looked around again and finally found the source of this layer of light mist, which was located in the northwest of the center of this forest.
It was deeper than the place where he and Maric met Earl Richard for a ceremony last time.
It should be the most secret and quiet place in the whole forest.
Hasta zoomed in, through the layers of branches and leaves, and finally saw a tower hidden deep in the forest.
The tower had long been dilapidated, with only a rough frame made of stones left on the outside, and the things inside had long been dried and decayed.
The source of the mist was flowing out from the top of this tower little by little.
It was like a small spring that suddenly emerged from the ground, and the spring water kept flowing out, eventually soaking a large area of land around it.
Audrey's arrival, stepped on the soaked land, got wet, and then went home with water marks, and was finally affected.
So far, Hastur has understood the general process.
But the specific situation will not be fully understood until he explores the tower in the forest.
In this mode, he can't see everything clearly now, he can only see roughly.
After doing all this, Hastur retracted his gaze and closed his eyes. He wanted to get the corresponding fate revelation of the tower in the forest by peeping into fate.
In the dark world, a giant dragon covered with silver-white scales and a towering tower appeared. On the tower, there was a figure painting a mural.
The thing on the mural is a giant dragon of the mind that roared through the spiritual world and finally sank into the subconscious of all beings.
Seeing this scene, Hastur has vaguely understood the origin of the tower.
The tower may have been built by a worshiper or researcher of the giant dragon of the mind. There should have been a giant dragon of the mind there, and maybe a small part of the power is left.
Audrey's arrival, because of her identity as an extraordinary person in the audience path, attracted the unconscious and spontaneous attention of the mist.
A little bit of power was allocated to Audrey, which became a weight that Audrey could not bear. As a result, she fell into a deep sleep and was trapped in the depths of the spiritual world.
This was the most reasonable guess made by Hasta based on his own observation. He dared not say that it was 100% accurate, but there was definitely a probability of more than 80% that this was the case.
Hasta sat in the Hall of Stars for a while, thinking about some things, and then returned to reality.
"Woof! Woof?"
Susie ran over when she heard the noise. Although it was pretending to be a dog that could not speak, Hasta still heard what it meant.
"Don't worry, I have found some key clues. The next step is our adventure."
Hasta stroked Susie's dog head and thought of a question inexplicably.
Obviously Susie was also an extraordinary person in the audience path and had experienced the mist, but why didn't it fall into the depths of the spiritual world?
"Susie, did you have a dream last night?"
"Woof?"
Susie looked at Hasta with confused eyes, and she didn't know how to answer this question.
What is a dream?
Are the dreams of dogs and people the same in terms of cognition?
Have you ever dreamed?
Can a dog dream?
Is dreaming a right that only humans can enjoy?
After being confused, Susie fell into deep thought, lying on the ground, with her legs unconsciously folded together, revealing a thoughtful look.
"..."
Hasta glanced at it, but still didn't choose to remind Susie.
He was very curious now, what did Susie do every day at Audrey's house?
Should Susie be given a pair of gold-rimmed glasses as soon as possible?
This way, she would look more scholarly.
"..."
After thinking for a while, Susie finally remembered that she was just a dog, and hurriedly stood up, glanced at Hasta, and then pretended that nothing had happened, and barked like an urgency.
"Let's go. It's hard to walk in the dark. Don't get lost, or Audrey will cry for you."
"Woof!"
Susie wagged her tail and followed Hastur's steps, heading into the deepest part of the forest under the cover of night.
...
The spiritual world was still full of fog and bare trees. Although each tree had its own characteristics and the areas she passed through did not overlap, she could not reach the end.
Audrey felt that she was trapped in a maze, a big spiritual maze. It was difficult to break through by herself and she needed help from the outside world.
"Should I pray to Mr. Fool for help?"
Audrey had the idea of seeking help, but could Mr. Fool control what happened in the dream?
Although Mr. Fool was mysterious, Audrey felt that He should not be able to do this now.
"Besides Mr. Fool, there is only Mr. Hasta. He should know what happened to me, right?"
Audrey thought about it. With the temper of her father, Earl Hall, he would definitely contact Mr. Hasta as soon as possible and let him be responsible for solving this matter.
"Susie, will you be sad because of my affairs?"
Audrey stayed where she was to rest for a while before moving on.
In this misty dream, her feet would not be sore from walking a lot, nor would she feel hungry, but her mind would become more and more tired.
This misty dream seemed to be feeding on her spiritual power.
Or more precisely, this misty dream was provided by her own spiritual power. The longer it lasted, the more tired her mind would be.
Was she trapped in the spiritual world she had woven?
Audrey began to think, remembering the conversation she had with Susie when the forest fog hit.
The current misty dream was very consistent with her fantasy at the time.
"Woof!"
A familiar voice interrupted Audrey's meditation.
It was Susie's voice!
Audrey hurriedly looked for the sound, jogging for a while, and she kept adjusting her direction according to the location of Susie's voice.
Finally, Susie's shadow and Mr. Hasta's figure appeared in her field of vision.
Did Susie lead Mr. Hasta to help her?
Audrey calmed down first, then slowly walked forward.
"Mr. Hasta, why are you here?"
Audrey came to a position two meters in front of Hasta, stopped and asked.
But there was no response, not even a word.
Mr. Hasta seemed to be unable to see him and walked forward on his own.
"Susie, I'm here, can you see me?"
Audrey tried to communicate with Susie, but failed.
Susie didn't see him either, but kept following Mr. Hasta. Sometimes they and the dog were still talking about something.
Audrey trotted after him, deliberately opening her arms to block Hasta and Susie in front of her.
But Hasta and Susie went straight through her body and continued to go deep into the forest.
"..."
Audrey seemed to understand.
This is her spiritual world, not the real world, so it is normal that Mr. Hasta and Susie can't touch her.
Maybe, Mr. Hasta and Susie in front of her only appeared because she needed help now.
Is it her consciousness that changed this spiritual world?
Audrey thought this was a very correct idea, and without thinking too much, she caught up with Hasta and Susie again.
Since Mr. Hasta and Susie appeared to help her, then following them should be able to leave this foggy dream.
There is another reason. The misty dream finally showed some changes, so she naturally couldn't miss it.
Audrey looked at Hasta and Susie, and couldn't help imagining their chat scene.
Mr. Hasta must have said a lot of words, and Susie always covered all the meanings with a few simple barks.
"I wonder if there will be communication barriers between Mr. Hasta and Susie?"
Audrey thought as she walked quickly to the front of Hasta and Susie.
This misty dream adventure, of course, must be led by Miss Justice.
As she went deeper, Audrey was surprised to find that the surrounding scenery began to change.
Not only trees, but also pools of water and scattered boulders.
There is also a silver-white tower standing in the distance.
