Chapter 507: Audrey: Has Mr. Hastur Become an Angel?

Chapter 507: Audrey: Has Mr. Hastur Become an Angel?

After leaving the home of the furniture merchant Humphreys, Audrey sat in the carriage, resting her chin on one hand, her brows slightly furrowed, clearly in a bad mood.

At her feet lay Susie, who, due to the presence of the maid Annie in the carriage, refrained from asking any questions.

"I really want to see Mr. Hastur right now," Audrey muttered unconsciously. She quickly covered her mouth in a panic and glanced at the maid Annie sitting opposite her. Fortunately, Annie hadn't heard her murmur, or it would have been too embarrassing.

Audrey slightly turned her body, hiding her slightly flushed cheeks.

Thinking of Mr. Hastur, she couldn't help but think of Miss Sharon, who also seemed to be in Backlund.

Should she invite her out for afternoon tea? After all, she was the host in Backlund.

But she didn't know Miss Sharon's address, and it would be embarrassing to ask Mr. Hastur to convey the message.

As for xio and Fors, they seemed to have encountered some difficulties recently and hadn't contacted her for a long time.

The carriage rumbled along and soon arrived at the Hall family's estate.

Audrey had just returned to her room and was resting on her bed when she heard the news of Mr. Hastur's visit.

"Audrey, your wish has come true," Susie stood up, wagged her tail, and went out to greet Mr. Hastur.

"Doesn't Mr. Hastur usually like to visit on Monday afternoons?" Audrey thought of Hastur's recent visits, pursing her lips with a faint smile on her face.

She walked to the full-length mirror, twirled slightly, and her light green skirt swayed gently. Soon, her maid Annie, along with several other maids, came to help her choose her jewelry and outfit for the day.

After multiple confirmations, she left her room and went downstairs to meet Hastur.

Countess Hall naturally found an excuse to leave, allowing Hastur and Audrey to be alone. The two exchanged glances, and Audrey smiled, "Mr. Hastur, shall we take a walk in the garden?"

Hastur nodded and followed Audrey and Susie to the garden. The maid Annie, who had always been somewhat wary of Hastur, now quietly followed beside them.

When they were alone, Audrey's eyes sparkled, "Mr. Hastur, did you come because of this afternoon's events?"

"I do prefer to visit on Monday afternoons, but someone often has things to deal with at that time."

"Isn't that exactly what Mr. Hastur wants?" Audrey pouted slightly, remembering how she had agreed to Hastur's embarrassing request out of guilt for rushing to attend the Tarot Club last time.

Sitting on his lap and feeding him sweets, even though she only fed him three spoonfuls, she was so embarrassed that she almost didn't want to see Hastur for several weeks.

"Alright, I'll leave for now and come back next Monday afternoon."

"I'll have Susie entertain Mr. Hastur for me."

"Woof," Susie lay down, closed her eyes, and drooped her ears, indicating she didn't want to be involved.

After some casual conversation, Hastur explained the reason for his visit that afternoon.

When Audrey's mental world was invaded by Herwin Lambis, he sensed it but didn't pry into her daily life. He didn't like the idea of constantly monitoring Audrey's every move and believed she wouldn't like it either.

So, he chose to visit in person.

"Mr. Hastur, I didn't know the protective pendant you gave me had such a function," Audrey frowned slightly.

"I only use it to check on you when you're in real danger or when you actively contact me."

"Should I believe Mr. Hastur's words?" Audrey pretended to ponder.

On the ground, Susie, who was already lying down, muttered, "I wonder who just said they really wanted to see Mr. Hastur."

As soon as she finished speaking, Susie keenly sensed Audrey's embarrassed and annoyed gaze, quickly got up, and moved away.

Hastur took a sip of tea and said with emotion, "Susie is truly a loyal companion to humans. Her honesty is as bright as a diamond."

"Mr. Hastur, I need to make one thing clear: you are not allowed to take Susie away from me," Audrey said, her bright eyes staring into Hastur's, waving her small fist to show she was serious.

"I have something else to tell you," Hastur wisely changed the subject.

Despite his purely revolutionary friendship with Susie.

"I plan to visit the headquarters of the Psychological Alchemy Society soon. If you're interested, you can come with me."

"Are we going to steal from the Psychological Alchemy Society's treasury?" Audrey's interest was piqued. She believed there must be extraordinary materials she needed in the treasury, and something for Susie as well.

"Something like that."

"When will we act?"

"How about next Monday afternoon at two?"

"Mr. Hastur!" Audrey elongated her tone to express her attitude.

"Alright, we'll go on Monday evening," Hastur smiled at Audrey's bright, expectant eyes, "I'll grant you this small request, Miss Audrey. Shouldn't you reciprocate?"

...

At six o'clock on Monday evening, Audrey was already in her room. For tonight's action, she had changed out of her long dress and into a more suitable adventurer's outfit.

It was a brown and gray adventurer's suit she had specially ordered from an Intis-style clothing store.

It was said that noble girls in the Intis Republic often went hunting, so their style differed greatly from that of Ruen.

Susie was equally excited about tonight's adventure. After all, it was the Psychological Alchemy Society, and there must be legacies from the Mind Dragon.

Around eight o'clock, the window in Audrey's room was gently opened by the breeze.

In the hazy moonlight, Mr. Hastur stood on a tree branch, waving to Audrey and Susie inside the room.

Susie wagged her tail enthusiastically and moved away from the window to let Hastur in.

Hastur shook his head and gently opened a door in front of him.

Under the curious gaze of Audrey and Susie, Hastur walked through the door and entered Audrey's room.

"Amazing, I suddenly envy Fors's extraordinary abilities," Audrey's eyes were filled with admiration.

"For night visits, this extraordinary ability is indeed very useful."

"Mr. Hastur, do you often use this method to enter other people's rooms?"

"That's a good idea. I could visit you every night to see how you sleep," Hastur gave Susie a knowing look, "Susie, you must pretend you didn't see anything."

"Woof," Susie happily agreed.

Faced with Hastur and Susie's cooperation, Audrey just rolled her eyes at Hastur, wondering what kind of charm he had used on Susie.

"Let's get down to business," Hastur glanced at Audrey's large bed, indicating she could lie down and sleep peacefully. Susie also returned to her small bed.

"Mr. Hastur, where are we going?" Audrey asked, puzzled. She had prepared for an adventure tonight, but it seemed unnecessary now.

"The Eden in the mental world."

"The headquarters of the Psychological Alchemy Society is in the mental world?" Audrey couldn't hide her shock. No matter how real the mental world seemed, it wasn't the real world. Could such an illusory world exist as long as the real one?

"Do you know what the end of the Spectator pathway is?"

"Sequence 0, Dreamer."

"Anything imagined becomes reality."

Hastur's simple words left Audrey and Susie feeling awed.

Sequence 0, Dreamer?

Anything imagined becomes reality!

Audrey repeated the words twice, feeling a chill down her spine, both fearful and excited.

She finally knew the end of her pathway, which was a reason to be happy. But it also meant that Mr. Hastur was far more powerful than she had imagined.

Such precious occult knowledge was mentioned casually, without any reverence, as if it were just an ordinary term.

And tonight, Mr. Hastur not only planned to visit the headquarters of the Psychological Alchemy Society but also had the strength to take her and Susie along.

Such power must be at least Sequence 4 demigod, no, even higher, perhaps Sequence 2 angel.

Has Mr. Hastur already become an angel?

How amazing, she had been so pleased about her upcoming promotion to Sequence 5 Dreamwalker...

The gap was quite large.

Audrey's thoughts were chaotic, and her excitement about tonight's visit turned into unease, hesitation, and worry.

"Tonight, we're just going to take a look," Hastur, seeing Audrey's complex emotions, walked over, took her slightly cold hand, and gently reassured her.

"Just a look?" Audrey held Hastur's hand, looking up with worried yet expectant eyes.

"Yes, I just want to show you this near-miraculous Eden tonight."

Hastur wasn't lying to Audrey.

If he wanted to take the extraordinary characteristics from the Dream Weaver, it would likely destroy the entire Eden and attract Adam.

For Audrey and Susie, who had never seen Eden, it would be a great pity.

Fortunately, Lady Lisa had left a backdoor on the Dream Weaver and taken his three identities, which they could use to disguise their infiltration.

Whether by chance or coincidence, it was a good development.
