The dull and tight air seemed to be stagnant, as if frozen, making the lips and teeth feel chilly.

At this moment, the mysterious woman in black robe suddenly took a step and stood between Mr. A and the helpless girl in front of the door.

"Wait a minute, maybe she's here to find me." As if he couldn't feel Mr. A's indifferent, almost cold and depressing aura, a touching voice came from under the black robe, like the sound of nature coming to Austria.

Next to Delly.

"Didn't I tell you, just stay with your friends until the party is over...I will be able to buy the formula she needs soon, don't be impatient, okay?"

The mysterious woman in black robe soothed softly, and gently held Audrey's gauze-covered right hand. Two pairs of similar Audrey's hands, also wearing black gauze lace gloves, overlapped and held each other, dyeing the color.

each other's body temperature.

Almost the moment the soft whisper invaded her ears, Audrey couldn't help but blush, let alone the soft, boneless hands that were embracing her, and the warm heat.

Together they drove away her anxiety and panic.

Reason and calmness finally returned to her body.

Audrey nodded silently, then saw the mysterious woman hiding her face in the shadow of the hood let go of her hand, turned around to face Mr. A, and let out a light laugh.

"Look, a very simple transaction has been made so complicated, delayed and delayed, that my sponsor can't sit still. Mr. A, let's not mention the details of the transaction for now. In short, you have obtained the potion formula today.

And you intend to sell it to me, right?"

Audrey felt that the cold, terrifying and shuddering sense of oppression was gradually fading away. Mr. A seemed to have turned back into the ordinary and mysterious black-robed pervert before, moving toward her and the man next to him.

I glanced at each of the women several times.

After a moment of silence, he replied in a low voice:

"I have the intention to sell the formula, but I also said that I would add conditions -"

"Don't be so impatient, Mr. A." A mature and charming female voice said, "The potion formula is just the beginning of our cooperation. After getting the formula, I have to continue to collect the main and auxiliary materials of the potion. We

There are still many opportunities to get along. No matter what you want to get from me...or what you want to confirm from me, it can all be achieved in the form of a transaction, don't you think so?"

"...No matter what I want?" Mr. A repeated in a confused tone.

"Yes. Moreover, I can completely understand the efforts you have made so far in organizing gatherings and maintaining order in transactions. I also sincerely admire your steadfast dedication to your faith. I believe that you will not insist on it just for a small selfish desire.

The principles were trampled to pieces..."

Trying to let go of her emotions and not letting herself show surprise or timidity, Audrey blinked and watched the scene in front of her, seemingly standing obediently behind the woman in black robe, pretending to be a backdrop.

However, only she knew that the conversation taking place in front of her was no longer a mere verbal game, but a psychological control, the guidance and grasp of emotions...

This is a declaration of victory chanted by the uncrowned king who dominates the battlefield to the defeated!

The mysterious woman in black robes had an insight into almost every weakness of Mr. A. Every word he spoke was like an extremely sharp but bloodless sharp blade, piercing into the other person's shaken heart and silently mastering the rhythm of the conversation.

, mastering the balance of negotiation victory.

Mr. A, who was immersed in rhetorical descriptions, seemed unmoved. In fact, from what Audrey observed, his posture was obviously much more relaxed than before, and he would occasionally use the hood to

Hidden nodded slightly, not knowing which of the mysterious woman's words resonated with him.

Audrey was a little happy and a little excited. She felt that maybe she could guess the identity of the mysterious woman!

She was lucky enough to meet an Extraordinary who was on the same path as herself! And he was probably a mid-to-high sequence expert!

With such precise control and guidance of emotions and souls, if the mysterious woman is not a mid-to-high-sequence powerhouse in the "Audience" pathway, Audrey really can't imagine any other more reasonable explanation.

And... and even more fortunately, the other party is willing to protect her!

This at least shows that the mysterious woman is by no means an evil person and has the value of making friends and winning over her!

Audrey tried hard to maintain her "audience" status, half calmly watching the mysterious woman make a deal with Mr. A, and then wisely and obediently followed her departure. At the same time, half nervously and expectantly, she prepared in her heart.

He started the conversation with her.

Should I introduce myself first? Or should I thank her first for helping me block Mr. A, who was particularly scary at the time?

No, no, Audrey, no matter what, your behavior today is too reckless and hasty. Even if it is because you are worried about the other party, you should not be so hot-headed without a plan... But, if she is a strong person in the "audience" path,

, then maybe they will be willing to reveal some important information, such as the magic potion formula of the "Mind Reader"... Yes, maybe I should first express my yearning for the extraordinary——

"Okay, it's okay. You should go back to your friends. If you leave for too long, they will worry about you." The mysterious woman in black robe stopped, turned around and said to Audrey.

"Ah, okay, thank you..." Audrey subconsciously lifted up the long hem of her black robe to thank her. She suddenly realized when she was about to bend her knees and stopped, "Hey, how could you do this?"

Do you know I came with friends?"

She heard a chuckle coming from under the black robe in front of her.

"It's very simple. When you observe others, you are also observed by others."

Those two graceful lips gradually outlined an upward curve in Audrey's eyes.

"You may think that with the concealment of the hood and the obstruction of the veil, it will be difficult for others to detect the gaze you cast, but this is not the case. Some people have keen inspiration, and even just their gaze is enough to attract their attention... Of course,

Such people belong to a very small minority, but how can you know whether you are staring at a monster before you observe and confirm it?"

Audrey pursed her lips slightly and replied:

"But in my opinion, you are not a monster..."

"Perhaps I just used a random analogy." The mysterious woman in black robe turned her body sideways, her tone not fluctuating, "I'll give you another piece of advice. It has some mental effects... It can also be said that pollution can be spread through sight.

The longer you watch and the more detailed your observations are, the easier it is for you to be influenced and make some irrational actions...just like your abnormality today."

"Am I affected?"

After Audrey was stunned for a moment, she gradually felt as if she had been awakened from a sleepwalking state.

She recalled her sudden worry before, and without much thought, she tried to catch up with the mysterious woman in front of her, trying to prevent Mr. A, who was hiding his lust, from doing evil things to her... Indeed, all of this seemed like a brave act of justice.

OK, but it's missing the most crucial point.

reason.

There is no reason for Audrey to risk her own life and get involved in danger just for a stranger she doesn't even know what she looks like.

This, this is unreasonable!

But what’s even stranger is that until the crisis was resolved at this moment, until the mysterious woman in black robe pointed out the problem herself, she herself didn’t even realize that this was the biggest anomaly!

"It seems you're awake. Goodbye then."

The mysterious woman said this, completely changed direction, and walked away along the corridor step by step.

Not knowing where the courage came from, Audrey picked up a corner of her robe and trotted after him for a few steps. It wasn't until the other party turned around that he seemed to be aware of it, that she gave him an elegant and decent salute.

"I am Audrey Hall, may I have your name, noble lady?"

Facing the girl's eyes that were shining with expectation, the man in the black robe paused for a few seconds and finally gave the answer slowly.

"If we have a chance to meet again next time, you will know then."

…

The daughter of Earl Hall, who had been away from her seat for a long time, finally returned to the hall before the party ended. The two extraordinary people who looked a little anxious couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Why have you been gone for so long? If you don't come back, we will have to call the attendants to help find someone."

Hugh Dilcha stared at Audrey again and again with a serious face, fearing that there was something wrong with this eldest lady - if such an unfortunate situation happened, he would probably put her with Forsi.

If you package and sell them, you won't be able to afford compensation.

Glancing at her friend Viscount Graylint who was chatting happily next to her, Audrey turned her attention back to the petite "Arbiter" and answered her with a soft smile, reflecting the emotions of the two extraordinary bodyguards.

Soothed.

...Of course, it is impossible for Audrey to tell the truth to Forsi and Xio.

She made up clever excuses to distract their attention, quickly changed the topic to the field of occultism, and listened with curiosity.

Not long after, the members who participated in the secret gathering began to leave one after another. Audrey and her party were no exception and walked out of the hall, returned to the carriage, and prepared to return.

"Audrey, are you looking for someone?"

Viscount Grayling, who was in a slightly excited mood, saw her open the curtain of the carriage window and look outside. He couldn't help but get closer to the window and take a look at the main entrance of the house.

I didn’t see a man in black robe of similar size coming out...

Audrey smiled and shook her head:

"I was just a little surprised and sighed that the secret gathering of extraordinary people turned out to be like this... I really don't know when we will be able to buy the formula we want."

"Yes, I have even begun to imagine my life after becoming a 'pharmacist'!" Viscount Gralint chuckled, and then sighed, "But first, we have to buy the formula, and secondly, we have to buy good materials..."

Listening to her friend's narrating and hypnotic narration, Audrey took one last look at the front door of the house where the party was being held, lowered the curtain of the carriage window, leaned against the back of the seat, and left this street in the West End staggeringly.

.

Late at night, all the maids serving the earl's daughter had fallen asleep, and Susie, the big golden retriever dog, also lay back in its exquisite and spacious kennel after a delicious meal. She slept soundly and sweetly, and occasionally purred in her sleep. I don't know.

What a sweet dream it was.

Audrey, who let her blond hair hang down and wore silk pajamas, sat up from the bed and smoothed her hair wordlessly. After struggling several times in her heart, she got up and left the bedroom and walked to the open balcony.

If it was a clear day, Audrey would be able to see the wonderful scenery in her garden and enjoy the colorful flowers; but in the silent night, only the red moon was peaceful and peaceful, billowing in the dark clouds.

The sky is covered with crimson moonlight.
