The lady who was suspected to be the holder of the Justice Card stopped talking. Susie said, "Your mental state is much better than before. If you wish, I can let you enter the dream again and try to awaken the forgotten memories."
"no problem."
Lumian leaned against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes. Before he knew it, he fell asleep.
He saw again the village of Cordu, located between the mountains, bathed in sunshine and surrounded by green alpine pastures.
The gray-white flocks of sheep are like clouds, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, embellishing the oil painting-like scenery.
All the things that happened were presented rapidly in the form of an art exhibition.
Lumian sometimes immersed himself in it, experiencing it personally, and sometimes pulled himself away, watching from a distance as a bystander.
As events progressed, the weather, which represented his mood, became increasingly gray, with less and less sunlight visible. Only occasionally would the sky clear up into a deep blue.
These memories were similar to what Lumian had guessed. Starting from May and June last year, some abnormalities gradually occurred in the village.
At first, he didn't care, until almost the end of the year, when he felt that the problem was serious. Aurore always ignored his suspicions about him, or said she wanted to verify it, but nothing happened.
After that, they found something useful on Louis Lund and extracted information from him. As the new year began, more and more people in Cordu Village began to show signs of problems.
As a result, some villagers who had not been affected yet gradually realized that something was wrong, and Ava, Raymond, Naroka and others were silenced.
During this process, Lumian discovered that Pons, Bene and others were burying the bodies, and tried to retaliate by severely injuring the villain's lower body.
But as he was alone, he found it difficult to fight against that group of thugs and ultimately suffered defeat.
He was almost killed by Poncebe, but Aurore showed up in time and took him away.
It was not until this time that Lumian noticed that his sister was also acting abnormally. She was suspected to be one of the parish priest's group and had a very high status. Most of the time, she was cold and indifferent, which was completely different from the sister in Lumian's mind.
Only in a few cases would he return to his original state, worrying about his own situation and his brother's future and trying to seek help.
But she never mentioned that she could summon the messenger of Hela, the vice president of the Curly-haired Baboon Research Association.
The relevant information in the dream is likely to come from her soul fragments.
What happened next was much as Mrs. Pualis had related.
Aurore stopped the lady, the parish priest Guillaume.
Bene led a large group of gifted people to attack the administrator's castle, destroyed her arrangements, and forced her to give up the territory she had managed for a long time.
He left the village of Cordu with his remaining men. The only difference was that Mrs. Puaris said that she had only given birth to one child, whose father was the parish priest, who eventually died in the attack. But when Aurore was in the state of the Fate Scroller, he mentioned that lady and gave birth to two children herself, one of whom was in the Administrator's Castle, but disappeared after it was destroyed.
At the end of the memory, the person who knocked Lumian unconscious and took him to the altar was not Aurore, but the deputy parish priest Michel Garrigu, who had also seen the lizard-like elf crawling out of him in his dream.
Lumian opened his eyes and took slow, deep breaths. He had expected all these things, but the accompanying changes in his mood still made him feel breathless.
Finally, he walked out of the nightmare of being a homeless child and had a real, warm home, new friends, and a lot of happiness.
Even when he was chased by villagers because of his prank and failed to escape, and was punched a few times, he was still in a good mood.
But just when he thought he would continue to live like this, the people around him gradually became strange, and the constant abnormalities he discovered made him feel more and more worried.
As the situation became more and more gloomy, he began to worry and panic. He tried to persuade his sister Aurore and friends such as Raymond and Ava to leave Cordu and move to Darriège.
But Aurore kept procrastinating, and his plan ultimately failed to materialize. In fear and disappointment, he faced the death of his friends.
He discovered that his most trusted and valued sister had also shown signs of abnormality. At that moment, he felt his soul sinking into a bottomless dark abyss, as if he had returned to the state when his grandfather died and he had just started wandering.
Fear, helplessness, sadness, pain, but the difference from that time was that he also felt despair.
If Aurore hadn't woken up from time to time and brought a little hope, he might not have been able to hold on to the end.
Even in his current state, looking back on the experiences of those few months, Lumian still felt that his heart was a little overwhelmed.
It was like being trapped in a cage, with everything around painted in dark grey tones.
No matter how he rushed left and right, he couldn't escape. It was dull, cramped, depressing, painful and desperate.
Huh, huh. After taking a few deep breaths, Lumian slowly calmed down and said with a bitter smile: “It’s just as I guessed.”
The remaining pieces of the puzzle of the disaster were those that he had not personally experienced and would need to be obtained through interpretation, dream symbols or by finding the parish priest, Guillaume Bennet.
Susie said in a gentle voice, "You have completely endured it and faced the past. This shows that your psychological problems have been greatly improved. The only thing left is for you to reconcile and heal on your own. If nothing unexpected happens, we should only have one more session of psychological treatment."
"After you find the parish priest, Guillaume Bennet, and finish communicating with him, I will need to evaluate your psychological and mental state again and do the final treatment."
"Thank you, Ms. Susie, thank you."
Lumian hesitated and said, "Ms. Justice."
The lady who was in the state of psychological invisibility did not deny it. She smiled and said, "Just because there is only one psychological treatment left does not mean that we will no longer have contact. I may have to trouble you with some things in the future."
Lumian smiled. “I’m just a Sequence 7. I can’t help you, right?”
“Don’t underestimate anyone.”
The lady smiled and responded, “Besides, different people doing different things will have different effects.”
Lumian nodded and said, "No problem."
He thought for a moment, then changed the subject: "Ladies, at the end of the disaster in Koldu Village, my sister pushed me away and told me to pay attention to her notes. With your understanding of human nature, what questions might be hidden in her notes? What?"
Although there were still many things in Aurore's witchcraft notes that Lumian couldn't understand or had difficulty understanding, he had studied the overall content over and over again and still couldn't find any possible anomalies.
Susie quickly responded, "There shouldn't be any information or hints that Aurore deliberately left in those notes. Otherwise, when she regained consciousness, she would have told you directly, or reminded you in a tactful way."
Lumian nodded slowly, agreeing with this speculation. It was just like Aurore could have summoned Hela's messenger for help, but she didn't do it.
Susie continued, "I think there are some things in the notes that she once thought were normal, but later suspected to be problematic. So, it is difficult to find out which one is abnormal just by looking at the surface."
No wonder I have no clue for so long. Lumian asked anxiously, "How do you tell if there is a problem?"
The holder of the Justice Card seemed to be thinking and said, "Since you can tell from your memory that the abnormality started in May or June last year, then use this time point to look for the problem. If the source is really Aurore, then before that, she must have been exposed to something? She must have suffered some kind of contamination. So, you should pay special attention to the notes from the first six months. They may contain things that caused her abnormality. In addition, the notes from the last three months may reflect what Aurore really wants to do, which is an important part of the castle in her heart. If you study the notes, these two time periods are the most likely to have problems."
From January to June last year and from January to March this year, Lumian remembered the advice of Lady Justice.
Since Aurore's witchcraft notes covered a period of more than five years, narrowing down the scope of the suspected content would help Lumian save a lot of time and energy.
If he only focused on the notes from those two time periods, his workload would be reduced by 90 percent, allowing him to analyze and think more specifically.
After a brief thought, Lumian thanked her sincerely again: "Thank you, Ms. Susie, thank you, Ms. Justice."
After a while of communication, this psychotherapy session officially ended. Lumian finished the remaining espresso, got up and left Mason Cafe.
Waiting for the public carriage on the roadside, at this time in Trier, dark clouds gathered in the distant northwest, and rain was falling like lines, while in the southeast, the sky was azure blue, pure white, and stained with golden light.
In Apartment 601, 3 White Coat Street, Franca said to Jenna, "Let's go out to a party."
"What party?" Janna, who hadn't put on smoky makeup yet, asked in confusion.
Franca rarely invited her to participate in such things.
Franka laughed: "You have digested the guest potion at the gathering in the field of mysticism. You have to consider the promotion to an instigator. How to collect materials and intelligence through mysticism gatherings and earn money and supplies is a course that every wild extraordinary person must learn."
Promotion? Janna was a little confused. This word was unfamiliar to her.
Franka said seriously, "An important person once told me that in the foreseeable future, there will be more and more followers of evil gods, and the same will be true for various disasters involving the occult. If you hope to protect yourself, your brother, and those you want to protect, you must continue on the path of God, step by step, and become more powerful."
Janna was silent for a few seconds and said, "Okay."
"Then let's go." Franka smiled again.
Jenna hesitated and said, "Do you want to ask Ciel to join you? It seems like he needs to attend the occult gathering as well."
Franka's expression froze.
