"What?" asked
Klein looked at the bumpy road ahead and gave a self-deprecating sneer: "Nothing. "Hope Liv's family can get out of their current situation and live better and better."
He had indeed spoken from the heart. As the successor of the great gourmet empire in a new era, thinking about revolution, mobilizing the masses, and changing the world was a perfectly normal instinctive reaction. But thinking carefully, analyzing specific issues, he felt again that relying solely on the poor was not enough to save themselves, because this world had supernatural powers, and some were quite bizarre, not something that guns and cannons could solve, like the "Wraith" of Sequence 5 of the "Beyond" pathway.
On the one hand, this; on the other hand, constrained by the conservation of extraordinary characteristics and the difficulty of obtaining materials, supernatural powers could not become widespread, and numerical superiority was hard to convert into effective combat power. Even if they could be widespread, as long as the problem of losing control was not resolved, it would also bring disaster.
If there were no high-sequence powerhouses, these could all be solved to some extent. However, the real world not only had demigods but also all kinds of sealed artifacts that could cause death without knowing how, and gods were real and high above.
Thus, when the poor used strikes and protests to fight, it might not be too big a problem. But once they took up weapons and established an army, they would inevitably face an irresistible counterattack. Large-scale natural disasters and mass psychological manipulation could not be ruled out.
And those who could contend with official supernatural organizations were mostly secret organizations, often with evil attributes. Joining them, death might not be the worst outcome. So, to succeed on the path of revolution, the most promising way was to win the support of one or more churches.
With only strikes and protests, how many concessions could the vested interests make? Bribery would be relatively easier... By the way, the incident where the "
Finally, he couldn't help but snort and thought to himself: "After all, it's the threat of a evil god's descent that is most likely to improve the situation for the poor. "But evil gods are the most eager to devour their flesh and swallow their souls, and most likely to bring a disaster that no one can escape. "What an exquisite irony."

In the Queen's District, inside the luxurious villa of
Because Doctor Isengard had other matters afterwards, Audrey had her second psychology lesson of the week early.
In this lesson, Audrey deliberately showed her curiosity, asking Isengard from time to time about the psychological knowledge related to the mysterious domain that she had taught last time.
At the end of the lesson, Isengard finally spoke after careful deliberation: "Miss Audrey, we have organized a seminar on this subject. Many members have rather professional research on the intersection of psychology and mysticism. Are you interested in joining?" "Of course!" Audrey nodded without hesitation, perfectly matching her self-set persona of a naive and curious girl.
Isengard smiled: "Remember to keep it secret. You know, your elders have quite a bias against mysticism. Next lesson, I'll take you." "No problem." Audrey gave a positive answer with slight excitement.
After sending the long-haired Isengard out of the study, she closed the door, turned to the mirror by the bookshelf, and was elegant and quiet for two seconds.
Then, she lifted her skirt, made a twirling motion like in a court dance, and looked at herself in the mirror, smiling: "Audrey, you're amazing!"
Audrey knew she had taken the first step into the Psychological Alchemists Association. Although the seminar was likely just an outer circle with many tests to follow, it had indeed opened the door to the Psychological Alchemists Association.
And in this process, she had not used any external power, relying entirely on her own observation and acting, perfectly fooling Doctor Isengard. So she was very proud and pleased.
"That seminar sounds interesting." Susie came over, wagging her tail. "Audrey, can I join?"
Join? Looking at her golden-furred dog with round eyes, Audrey fell into contemplation.
She said a long "hmm": "Susie, not for now. You, you're too conspicuous..."
Then, she changed the subject and smiled slightly: "But I can take you with me."

On Saturday evening, Klein took the "Universal Key" and his black cane and walked out of 15 Minsk Street—without the latter, he probably wouldn't have been able to come back today.
He was going to "find" Doctor Allen, enter his dream, and figure out how the nightmare related to
As for where Doctor Allen lived, he had already found out yesterday: 3 Burningham Road, Hillston District.
