On the sun-dappled terrace in the autumn light, Audrey sat on a lounge chair, casually flipping through a magazine on fashion, her fresh, stylish summer hat resting gently on her head. A selection of delicate pastries sat on a small round table beside her, along with a cup of family-manor specialty tea. Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked toward the edge of the terrace, where Germán Sparrow, dressed in a black overcoat and a silk hat, walked steadily toward her. Audrey turned to her personal maid, Anne, and noticed that, like the other servants, Anne was completely unimpressed by the unexpected visitor. At the same time, Audrey observed that the light around them had grown slightly dimmer. She then rose gracefully, brushing her skirt gently as she bowed. During this process, she had originally intended to discuss the psychological alchemy circle and the issue with "Anger" Mr. seriously, but then smiled, speaking with a light, emotionally infectious tone: "Mr. World, are you here seeking psychological counseling, or are you here to address the matter of 'Anger'?" If it were merely the former, Audrey believed that "World" Germaine Spalro would have arranged for her to meet him above the gray mist—more convenient and quicker—so this angel must surely be carrying out a task assigned by Mr. 'The Fool' to be completed in the real world. At the same time, she keenly sensed that Mr. World's emotions were complex—both satisfied and joyful, yet also downcast and sorrowful. For Germaine Spalro's physician, such a state was not uncommon, often indicating that some reassurance or gentle support might be needed. "Both," said Caine, pulling a chair over and sitting beside the small round table. "Tea or coffee?" Although Audrey hadn't actively gathered information about Mr. World, she had met Mr. D'Orsay on several occasions, attended meetings, dinners, and galas together, and under the keen observation of the audience, many details had become evident. For instance, Audrey knew that when Mr. D'Orsay was Germán Spalro, his taste was sweet, slightly oily with a subtle acidity: he preferred coffee with cream rather than milk; he enjoyed lemon slices in his tea; among pastries, his first choice was those with cream; he loved foie gras, roasted chicken skin, eye-of-beef steaks over ribeye, and D'Is dessert pies over bread. Moreover, Audrey was certain that he was a connoisseur of spices, with high expectations for seasonings, and his preferences leaned more toward the D'Is region. Based on these details, Audrey felt it highly impolite not to invite the "World" gentleman to share the array of pastries laid out on the table—certainly accompanied by either tea or coffee. "Tea," Caine thought, responding. The "Justice" lady's easy, natural, and warm demeanor had eased his nerves, making him feel more at ease and better prepared for the upcoming "reassurance." With that, enjoying the pastries while receiving psychological treatment would undoubtedly be the best option. "One more cup of tea, please, with a few slices of lemon," Audrey said to the maid Anne. Anne didn't find the request at all surprising—she found everything perfectly logical—and promptly turned toward the terrace entrance, giving orders to the servant standing there. Audrey didn't rush into psychological counseling, nor did she ask the "World" gentleman about the complexity of his emotions. With a warm smile, she carefully introduced the estate's specialties, drawing a natural comparison with Doun. Tangtases' Mogue Vineyard, and in doing so, she smoothly explained the current situation of the estate's staff: some remained on-site, continuing their previous roles, and with Mogue's current output, they were fully supported—indeed, there was even a surplus that could be used for home repairs or charitable donations. Audrey sent a financial officer, an assistant steward, and a staff member from one of her foundations there periodically for inspections; others felt that without a true employer, they couldn't fully utilize their skills and felt unfulfilled by their salaries, so they chose to resign and seek new opportunities; and still others found interest in charitable work, discovered a renewed sense of purpose, and joined one of Audrey's foundations accordingly. When the tea was served, he lifted his cup, took a light sip, and nodded in satisfaction. After watching him enjoy a piece of cream cake, Audrey's bright eyes subtly shifted, and she smiled, saying, "Does it seem that for an angel, food is no longer essential?" "Yes, it's more of a preference," Klein replied simply, adding, "It helps preserve one's humanity." "Preserve one's humanity..." Audrey repeated thoughtfully, "Is that a way of countering divinity? Do your current mental concerns fall under this category?" She gently steered the conversation into the realm of psychological therapy. Klein nodded gently. "Exactly. You've probably experienced this yourself—every extraordinary being who attains divinity inevitably does. The difference lies only in the extent." "Audrey thought seriously and said, 'I sometimes dream of a sphere of light that illuminates the entire world. I also hear sounds that are indescribable and hard to comprehend, and see a vague, strange sea, seemingly full of contradictory concepts—this is clearly a hallucination, yet it feels so real. 'Well, I also occasionally dream of a massive cross, hearing someone praying softly, though I can never quite make out the specifics.' The second one likely stems from the indirect contamination of the "Chaos Sea" source material and its spiritual essence. The third seems to be the influence of Adam, the idealist, beginning to affect the extraordinary beings on this path... The first one—perhaps the primordial awakening within the ancient sun god's body, that ancient "God"? After a moment of reflection, Kline said in a low voice, 'The original Creator first brought all things into being and then fragmented into various extraordinary qualities—this is the very source of the extraordinary.'" "So each of us carries a divine essence, the original will of the Creator. As extraordinary qualities accumulate, that divine presence gradually awakens and begins to replace us." He explained the root of the issue in the most straightforward, vague, and unassuming way—avoiding any potential contamination. This had been discussed during the Tarot gathering, and Audrey found it entirely understandable, thoughtfully responding, "That's why we need to use human nature to counter divine nature, while also relying on the anchor?" "Yes. The light you dream of, the sounds you can't describe, the phantom sea you see—all of these are examples of such contamination. The great cross and the prayer sounds, on the other hand, are the influence of 'the Idealist' Adam upon the extraordinary beings of this path." Klein clearly distinguished between these two situations. Audrey unconsciously straightened in her seat, glanced around, and seemed a bit afraid: Germaine Spalro had actually mentioned the name that should never be spoken! "Don't worry. With me by your side, He doesn't hear it." "Klein explained. Audrey withdrew her gaze, unable to conceal her surprise and astonishment: "You've already advanced to Sequence 1?" That's rather fast... He's only been a Sequence 2 Angel for just over a year! Klein responded calmly: "I'd say I'm essentially a King of Angels." "...", Audrey remained silent for several seconds, pressing her lips together, smiling slightly with a touch of irritation. "I was almost experiencing a mental breakdown back then." Klein smiled in turn: "From my personal perspective, becoming a King of Angels isn't necessarily a good thing." "Indeed, high-sequence practitioners of the 'Audience' path must pay especially close attention to their mental state. For other paths, signs of divine enhancement or spiritual contamination are quite evident; for the 'Audience' path, however, these signs are subtler. You must constantly examine and inspect yourself—trace even the slightest shifts in personality or cognition back to their origins, ensuring they are nothing out of the ordinary. Otherwise, you'll gradually transform into someone entirely different, perhaps coldly eliminating those people you once most cherished and protected. 'Audience' path practitioners are both less likely and more prone to mental breakdowns." Audrey responded with alertness. "I understand." She then pursued the topic with a question: "Have your fluctuations in mental state and emergence of psychological challenges stemmed from becoming the King of Angels sooner and more unexpectedly than anticipated?" "Yes." "Klein sipped at his红茶 and said, "The will within me that does not belong to me has largely revived and is now only勉强 suppressed, maintaining a basic mental stability." Audrey listened attentively as Germaine Sparrow described the situation, simultaneously using her exceptional abilities to observe and analyze. When he finished, she smiled with a warmth that could soothe the soul and said: "I now have a clear understanding of your current condition. My initial treatment plan consists of two steps: first, I will enter your inner world to more fully awaken your memories related to humanity—excluding those that would cause you pain and possibly lead you to abandon the effort. Then, when the divine response manifests, I will use extraordinary abilities such as 'soothing' and 'hypnosis' to mitigate the pollution and negative impacts it brings, helping you better contain it." Klein paused and said: "That sounds good." He decided to leverage his unique ability—remaining awake while others enter his dreams and inner world—to gather and consolidate the memories of the "Card of the Fool," then "graft" them onto the "spirit insects" hovering above the gray mist. At that moment, Odile asked the maid Anne to bring her a pale white silk scarf. Then, she gently covered her eyes and ears with the thin scarf. Crain watched this with growing curiosity, waiting for Miss Justice to explain. After tying the scarf securely, Odile smiled softly: "This is a hypnosis, specifically designed to block the spirit's sensory perception. With this, even as I enter your inner world, I will neither see nor hear the memories being awakened—though I retain my intuitive spiritual awareness. Without it, I would not be able to locate your consciousness islands, nor detect the shifts in divinity." "I could have simply used hypnosis directly, but since you're already the King of Angels, concerned that your consciousness might influence me, I've chosen a symbolic ritual to enhance the hypnosis and strengthen its effect." She explained calmly, gradually soothing克莱恩's心情. He nodded gently, "Very well. Let's begin."
