On the outskirts of North Borough, in a three-story medical school building that is about to be abandoned.
Even at three in the afternoon, fog and clouds had darkened the entire Backlund, as if a storm was coming.
Along the dilapidated corridor, a gloomy light shone diagonally, piercing through the windows and causing everything to appear silent and scarred. It was scary and scary.
This was Audrey's second time here, and she was no longer as nervous and tense as before. He turned his head left and right with his surgical cap and large mask, used to observe the surroundings, observing every detail of this place.
Viscount Glaint was walking beside him and gradually became worried. He could not help but whisper, "Why did I find that this place is a bit strange …
"Could there be evil ghosts?"
As a fan of mysticism who has only half a foot in the circle of the Beyonder, the only Beyonder phenomenon he witnessed was Fors passing through a wall and opening a door. He was still unsure of the existence of ghosts and shadows.
However, this did not stop him from being afraid of similar monsters!
Fors turned his head and glanced at him as he held back his laughter.
"Most of the participants of this meeting were Beyonders. If there really were ghosts or evil spirits, they would definitely be very happy. Usually implies ingredients or waiters."
Realizing that Viscount Glaint was clearly relieved, he deliberately added, "Of course, I'm just talking about the weaker kind of ghost. A completely formed shadow might be able to kill everyone here without making a sound. And even if you run, all you can do is run back and forth between the three floors without being able to leave. It's like entering a labyrinth."
Xio nodded in agreement.
"i've met similar ghosts.I ran around in circles while in the cemetery with no way to escape. During this process, there were confused people who would turn their heads for no reason, only to suffer a sudden death. If not for one of the Beyonder who brought the sun's charm, maybe you wouldn't have seen me here today."
Viscount Glaint shivered as he looked out the window. At this moment, the withered tree branch smashed into the glass and let out a light sound as it was blown by the cold wind.
Glaint almost shouted loudly, as he frantically inched towards the two Beyonders, Fors and Xio.
Audrey refrained from smiling and silently watched this scene from the sidelines. In his heart, he thought, I had met the Foolish Sir who was close to the god.I know the Silver City in the Land Abandoned by the Gods, I know the Silver City, I have heard about all kinds of terrifying monsters in the depths of darkness. Why am I afraid of ghosts and shadows?
But I have never met a ghost. A pui! Audrey, what are you thinking? Better not find this kind of thing!
Unless I become a Psychiatrist with Beyonder powers capable of influencing other creatures, or if I obtain a mystical item that can hold ghosts and monsters…
The four of them could not help but increase their speed and quickly arrived at the gathering place for the day.
Before he entered, Fors found an opportunity to bend his back and whisper into Xio's ear, "You've just cooperated well with me. You actually made up a story so quickly that it was enough to scare others.
"Look at the spots that were not covered in Viscount Glaint's mask. So white that you can't see any color."
Xio turned his head as he replied blankly, "I didn't make up a story.
"That was something that happened to me before I came to Backlund."
"…" Fors was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Certainly?"
"Why should I lie?" Xio's confused face was covered in a mask.
Fors turned his head and took two steps forward and suddenly shivered.
At that moment, Glaint did not want to stay in the sinister corridor any longer. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door to the meeting place.
As a creaking sound echoed, he saw a concrete floor and an antiseptic smell enter his nose. It made him frown.
Soon after, he saw a large pond in the middle. It was filled with a clear yellow liquid, and there was a figure floating within it.
Some of the figures were completely naked. Some are rather complete while others have half their skin torn off. They have a brownish auburn color from jerky.
They are corpses!
"Aah!"
The shrill cry of a man resounded in the room.
A gaze was instantly thrown at Glaint.
These gazes all came from the white-clothed figure surrounding the pond. They also wore surgical hats and large masks, and only their eyes and a little skin were exposed.
Glaint's body swayed slightly. He wanted to turn around and run away, but when he saw Audrey, Fors, and Xio pass by him, as if nothing had happened, to enter his room, he was, he realized that they were pretending that they were not his friends.
As he took a deep breath, Glaint almost vomited.
He looked outside and saw that the corridor was dark and gloomy, filled with shadows, and not a single soul was in sight.
Shaking again, Glaint sped up his pace and caught up with Audrey and the others, looking for a seat as far away from the pool as possible.
After a few minutes, a figure wearing a white suit came out of the row and used a wooden pole with a hook on the side to pull the corpse to the side. Then, he directly dragged the corpse onto the concrete floor.
He paused for about three seconds, pulled out a scalpel, and split the abdomen of the body.
As the wound deepened, a cold and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from within.
… Glaint reached out his hand to press his mask. His throat moved several times and he almost vomited.
They were in the middle of a meeting with all sorts of trades — either successful or failed — happened, Audrey, who had been observing quietly all this time, finally opened her mouth and said, "I want the audience's potion formula."
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt several gazes sweeping over him. However, they quickly moved and did not linger.
After a few seconds of silence, the transaction is cancelled.
…
At about four in the afternoon, it was getting closer to night.
"Why is there nothing at all ..." Glaint did not maintain his aristocratic demeanor as he slumped onto the wooden wall of the carriage and sighed.
This Beyonder encounter had left a deep impression on him, making him feel as if he had taken a big risk.
But even so, he still could not buy the adult Flying Unicorn horn and Royal Jellyfish poison crystal.
Fors quietly pursed his lips and said, "That's normal. Although Backlund is the easiest place to get materials, if you can't join every Beyonder meeting, there will still be situations where you won't be able to find what you want. for a long time. It requires luck or patience."
"Mr Viscount, think about Miss Audrey's Audience potion. He hasn't received any leads to date."
Sometimes, you can find the ingredients, but you don't have the money to buy them. Xio, who sat on the side, thought desperately.
Audrey comforted Glaint, "When I get back, I'll go to my family's vault and do a search. There may be something you want."
He had brought the pituitary gland of the Rainbow Salamander with him today, but he had found no spinal fluid of the Farsman Rabbit. Therefore, he only exchanged it for 320 pounds cash. That was to prepare for Susie's progress.
Glaint nodded, and just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Xio sitting upright. He frowned and said, "It looks like someone is following us!"
"I believe in your intuition. What are we doing now?" Fors asked, looking around.
Following us? Why follow us? All we did was sell one Beyonder item and earn a few hundred pounds in cash. Even if someone wants to rob us, we should not be the main target.Although Glaint acts like a rookie, we are not, the organizers of the meeting have done a lot to ensure the safety of the members and to prevent anyone from being followed. Except. The person who sent the tracker is the organizer! Last time, everything seemed normal. Hmm, what a difference the two occasions had.Audrey's mind was racing when she suddenly got an idea.
Maybe my request to buy the Spectator formula caught the attention of the Psychological Alchemists.
It was impossible for them to randomly sell the Audience formula, so what was bound to happen was recruitment into the organization.
And hiring is not simple. One must be wary of quasi-Nighthawks or quasi-Mandated Punishers, or spies sent by other hidden factions.
If they did not observe the target and conduct an investigation, the organization would be destroyed immediately!
After pondering for a few seconds, Audrey said to Fors and the others, "Prepare to be attacked.
"Pretend as if you're not paying attention to the tracker.
"If we make it back to Empress Borough, don't worry about revealing Glaint and I'm identities. You two have to go in secret."
His green eyes swept over Glaint and he added with a smile, "Many people know that we are fans of mysticism, so it was natural for us to find an opportunity to participate in the Beyonder meeting. Even if the tracker was the official Beyonder, they wouldn't be suspicious. We're just ordinary people, so all they're gonna do is warn us through another channel."
But I was already in Order 8. Phew, in order to get in touch with the Psychology Alchemist, I had to take a little risk. It seems official Beyonders will not target me for wanting to buy the formula. They shouldn't be able to get past the organizers of the meeting and track us down. I want to believe in my own judgment! Audrey cheers herself on.
"OK," muttered Viscount Glaint as he agreed.
The horse carriage continued to run as usual, circling several times. In the end, Audrey and the others switched to another carriage as they planned.
Throughout this process, the tracker never attacks.
When they reached the back door of Viscount Glaint's house in Empress Borough, the two nobles used their usual means to return. As for Fors and Xio, they each relied on their own skills to leave.
About ten minutes later, Audrey, accompanied by her large golden retriever, Susie, and her servants, openly exited through the front door, in her own carriage.
As he listened to the sound of the spinning wheel, he could not be sure if there were still people following him. He could only let his mind wander.
It was clear that the Count Hall's daughter was not a spy from any Beyonder faction …
There is nothing wrong with his past…
His love of famous mysticism …
His status and identity can provide help that is different from others…
Perhaps, in two days, there will be a member of the Psychology Alchemist who will try to contact me. Audrey thought with anticipation and was a little nervous.
…
Although he said he was making preparations, Klein spent two days at the Quelaag Club as if nothing had happened. He even played cards with his riding teacher, Talim, and the others, winning some soli.
Before she goes to bed, she doesn't forget to visit the outside of Lawyer Jurgen's house to make sure there are no lights and feed the cat.
At eight o'clock on Friday night, he put on his iron mask and put on his black robe and entered the activity room of the Old Wisdom Eye Lord.
