Friday, in the dead of night, inside Audrey's bedroom.
Then Audrey took out the Beyonder characteristic of the "Dreamwalker" from various hiding places, along with the corresponding supplementary materials and vessels for preparation—most of these supplementary materials came from the
After skillfully preparing the potion and looking at the dark, drizzly liquid with gray-white specks, Audrey stepped back, clasped her hands together, raised them to her mouth and nose, and softly recited in ancient
As soon as her prayer subsided, countless shadows of indescribable form appeared before her eyes.
Swirling and intertwining rapidly, they seemed to move within a sea, and above that sea were seven pure rays of different colors that seemed to contain infinite knowledge.
Above those seven rays lay an endless expanse of gray-white fog, and through the gray-white fog, a majestic palace could be vaguely seen.
At that moment, the gates of the palace opened, and a figure condensed from a golden light spread twelve pairs of wings composed of scarlet flames, flew down, and descended before Audrey.
Those twelve pairs of fiery wings, layer upon layer, enveloped the golden-haired, blue-eyed girl.
This scene lasted only a second or two before vanishing like an illusion, but Audrey always got a little lost in this divine and sublime feeling.
She calmed her emotions and sincerely thanked Mr. Fool.
With the "Angel's Embrace," she could remain clear-headed in her dreams and wake up whenever she wanted, without fearing she might become addicted and unable to extricate herself.
This was equivalent to her having already performed the ritual corresponding to the "Dreamwalker," and the effect was certainly better than the original.
After all, not every "Hypnotist" could receive the blessing of such a hidden existence and be embraced by a special angel... Come on, Audrey! Audrey muttered to herself, and without further hesitation, she picked up the glass bottle and gulped down the potion inside.
The potion wasn't as unpleasant as she had imagined; it was a bit sour, a bit sweet, a bit bitter, a bit hallucinatory, a bit stimulating—like an unrestrained dream.
Before Audrey could feel the potion's effects on her body, her mind suddenly became dazed and then cleared in an instant.
She saw the night outside the window turn into morning, the sun rising on the horizon, staining everything red.
In the garden, flowers bloomed one after another, and crystal dewdrops trembled on the tips of emerald green grass blades.
Audrey seemed to become the master of this world, her consciousness floating up, and from a bird's-eye view, she saw scene after scene: Her father and mother, holding hands, walked along the garden paths, bathed in the morning light, lightly sniffing the fragrance; Her two older brothers, Hibbert and Alfred, having reconciled, rode horses with their attendants, laughing as they entered the woods on the outskirts to compete over who had more game; Ambassadors or special representatives from countries such as Feysac, Intis, and Feynapotter signed agreements at the Soderac Palace in Loen, declaring to the world that war would not happen, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed; The fog in
That was the future Audrey dreamed of: wild Beyonders no longer had to fear; as long as they accepted regular physical checkups and mental state assessments, they could walk under the sun and legally earn money with their Beyonder powers.
"This is so beautiful… If I weren't still clear-headed, I might have become lost, descended from my high consciousness, gone for a walk with my parents, hunted with my brothers, occasionally taught children at school, and worked tirelessly for the continuation of world peace…" Audrey gazed at this dream, her heart surging with emotion.
She then felt her astral body rise even higher, breaking through the grayish edge of the world.
She saw her dream, like a huge bubble, growing out of the "Island of Consciousness" and silently covering it.
