Chapter 367: Audrey's Social Death
Hasta really wanted to refuse the invitation, but he couldn't bear it. Audrey's expectant eyes were too lethal.
"Great. I have never dared to explore the depths. With Mr. Hastur accompanying me, I can completely reveal its mystery."
Audrey's excited tone did not conceal it. After speaking, she glanced at Hasta sheepishly, then turned around and showed a proud smile towards Susie.
"Woof."
Susie stood up from the ground, walked over, rubbed Hastur's trousers, indicating that it also wanted to join this spiritual adventure.
"No, Susie can't join!" Audrey objected with a slight blush.
"Woof?"
Susie looked at Audrey with a puzzled expression, and Hastur also looked over.
After just a little thought, he knew what Audrey was worried about.
In that spiritual world, there must be some special places, such as unconsciously speaking what is in your heart.
Audrey was probably afraid that Susie would inadvertently expose her little secret, so she resisted like this.
Thinking of this, Hastur immediately stood on the same front as Susie, "I also think Susie needs to experience it and develop its extraordinary abilities. And sometimes Susie's inhuman attributes may help us solve some difficulties."
"Woof." Susie was wagging her tail happily.
"All right."
Audrey could only reluctantly agree to let Susie participate, and was already thinking about how to provide Susie with emergency training.
Susie must not be allowed to expose all her secrets to Mr. Hastur in the spiritual world.
Soon, Audrey used the excuse of going back to her room to rest first, and took away Susie who wanted to talk to Hastur about psychology.
Since he and Audrey were going to explore that spiritual world tonight, Hastur did not refuse Mrs. Hall's invitation this time and chose to stay in the guest room of Earl Hall's house to rest for the night.
This made Count Hall's eyes darken, but he just looked at Hastur quietly and said nothing. Countess Hall was very happy and prepared a guest room for Hastur.
Alfred patted Hastur's shoulder with an inexplicable smile on his face, "Hasta, it seems that my family likes you very much."
…
At around eleven o'clock at night, after Hastur finished having a few drinks with Alfred and Earl Hall, he went back to his room and lay down in the guest room that had been prepared to rest.
After waiting for another half an hour, he appeared in Audrey's room in a spirit state.
Audrey was half lying on the edge of the bed, leaning her upper body slightly, reaching out to tease Susie's head. At the same time, she took the trouble to instruct: "Susie, you must remember the precautions I just told you, and don't take it to heart." There are random thoughts inside.”
"Okay, Audrey." Susie nodded affirmatively, "Audrey, you should believe me, and you should also believe Mr. Hastur. No matter what secrets I tell, it will not affect your stay in Hastur." The image in the heart.”
"Susie, don't you know that every girl should have her own secret?"
"Oh, what if you accidentally said it yourself?"
"Then I must have done it on purpose."
"Woof."
Susie said nothing more.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom."
The sound of knocking on the window was rhythmic, which was the code agreed between Hasta and Audrey.
Audrey, who had been waiting for a long time, opened her spiritual vision and saw Hastur who had come to the window.
This was the first time she saw Mr. Hastur in the spirit state. He only had a rough outline and no specific facial features. He must have been hidden deliberately.
After looking at it like this, he was exactly the same as the figure who knocked on the window last time.
Audrey smiled and took out the pivot crystal ball that could connect to the spiritual world from the bedside position.
In the past, if she wanted to enter that spiritual world, she only had to put the crystal ball under her pillow and enter it naturally.
But she had not yet tried to invite anyone else into the spiritual world, not even Susie.
In case something happened, she always asked Susie to stay outside so that she could be responsible for waking her up in case of an accident.
"Audrey, you lie down and rest as usual, enter the spiritual world first, and I will take care of other things."
Hasta gave a simple instruction, and Audrey lay on her back, slowly closed her eyes, breathed gradually and evenly, and soon entered the spiritual world.
"Susie, you should know how to get into other people's minds, right?"
"Woof."
After telling Susie what to pay attention to, Hasta took Susie into Audrey's spiritual world.
Then pass through the crystal stone hub and arrive at the silver-white spiritual tower.
Audrey had already been waiting here. When she saw Hastur and Susie appear, she greeted them happily like the owner of this place: "Mr. Hastur, Susie, welcome to the Silver Tower."
The Silver Tower is the name Audrey gave to this silver-white spiritual tower.
The weird forest outside also has a new name, the Twisted Jungle.
"Woof."
Susie was very curious and searched around the silver tower.
Hastur stood at the railing of the high tower outside, looking at this hazy and strange spiritual world.
Last time, he overlooked the spiritual world from the perspective of the stars, and his vision expanded to a sea of minds, but now, he is only on one of the small spiritual islands.
If there are any secrets and gifts in this spiritual world, they should be in the depths of the spiritual sea, where the skeleton of the spiritual dragon fell.
"Mr. Hastur, the east of here is the twisted jungle, the south is the silent castle, the west is the witch's house, and the north is close to the sea. If we want to leave here, the north is the best choice."
Audrey brought Susie to Hastur and pointed to the areas in different directions and made a brief introduction.
"There must be a suitable name." Audrey felt Hastur's surprised eyes and blushed slightly.
When she explored this spiritual world, she habitually gave some special areas or buildings a distinctive name.
For example, the name of the silent castle in the south comes from an ancient castle in the south. When you enter the castle, you will unconsciously close the door of your heart, as if you are completely isolated from the outside world and don't want to say a word.
As for the witch's house in the west...it's just because there is an empty cabin with candles burning there.
She thinks it fits the residence of witches in the wild.
North...
Hasta recalled the whole picture of this spiritual world last time he saw it. It seems that the remains of the spiritual dragon are indeed in the north of this spiritual island.
The two people and the dog got off the silver tower and headed north.
The road was all areas that Audrey had explored before, so there was no danger.
It was not until they passed through a black forest and saw a clear lake that Audrey slowed down, took a deep breath, and gave Susie a small look.
In this spiritual world, there is no scarlet moon even at night, but there is a faint starlight falling.
Hasta guessed that this should be the change caused by his last visit here as a group of stars.
Under the hazy starlight, the lake looked more and more quiet and holy.
Hasta casually asked Audrey the name of the lake in front of him.
Audrey blinked gently and said, "This is a wishing lake. Mr. Hasta can try to make a wish to it."
"Woof." Susie also echoed on the side.
Hasta glanced at the man and the dog who were obviously hiding something, walked a few steps towards the lake, and came to the lakeside.
The originally calm lake surface was rippling with shallow ripples, and then merged into the shape of a lake blue elf.
Half of its body was out of the lake, with delicate features, pointed ears, and a pair of blue wings formed by water on its back gently flapping. Its eyes looked at Hasta with innocence and curiosity. After a while, it spoke: "Traveler from afar, do you need any help?"
"I want to know the hidden thoughts of a girl." Hasta said, pointing his finger at Audrey who was about to watch the show.
"Mr. Hasta!"
Audrey panicked when she heard the words, and her face was no longer calm. She pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands and her cheeks were red.
She just wanted to give Mr. Hasta a surprise, but unexpectedly, Mr. Hasta gave her a bigger surprise.
"I can fulfill your wish, but you also need to answer one of my questions."
"No problem."
Hasta agreed to this small deal, and the lake elf merged into the lake. Soon, a scene appeared on the calm lake surface.
It was the scene where Audrey stood by the lake and chatted with the lake elf.
"Can you leave the spiritual world and stay with me? I really want to have a cute elf that can accompany me, small and can be held in the palm of my hand at any time."
"Susie is really good, but she has been too obsessed with studying recently. She is just a dog, which makes me want to start working hard, for fear that I will be surpassed by her if I am not careful."
"When I think of her looking at me with doubtful and disappointed eyes and saying, 'Audrey, don't you even know the answer to this question?'..."
"Since you like to ask questions, next time, I will bring Mr. Hasta with me. His extensive knowledge will definitely satisfy your curiosity."
"I miss Mr. Hasta when he was still very poor. At that time, I could at least beat him in terms of money..."
Audrey's crisp and clear voice came from the lake, and Hasta and Susie looked at her at the same time.
What is the experience of social death?
Audrey really wants to jump into the lake now and hide deep in the bottom of the lake to avoid the scrutiny of Hasta and Susie.
"Audrey, you are so sure of my efforts and wisdom." Susie happily wagged her tail, which was almost up to the sky.
"..."Audrey tried her best to suppress her strange feelings, slightly turned her body, and pretended not to hear Susie's proud voice.
