Mystery: The High-Dimensional Overlooker

Chapter 357 Confession?

"What is this?" Audrey asked subconsciously, but saw a slight change in the expressions of the servants beside her. She keenly noticed that one of the servants was walking quickly towards the distance.

There have been so many serial killings, why am I just finding out about them now? Didn't newspapers report it before? By the way, at my recent birthday party, I didn't have time to read the news in the newspaper... As a nighthawk, Audrey quickly thought of this problem, and her expression changed slightly because the servant beside her left.

"What are you going to do?" After thinking for a short time, Audrey said to the servant in a calm tone. The servant who was about to leave was stunned for a moment, and apparently thought about it for a long time before replying to Audrey. :

"Miss, I'm going to find the Earl."

Earl...is there anything I should tell my father directly after I read the newspaper? Audrey tightened her fingers slightly, and the flesh and blood between her fingers squirmed angrily, dyeing the area where the newspaper was grasped a little red.

After a brief period of calm, seeing that no one around her noticed the abnormality on her hands, Audrey secretly took back the bright red blood seeping out between her fingers.

The number of times she has played "Bishop Rose" is limited, and she has not fully mastered the power of "Bishop Rose" yet. Therefore, when she is emotionally excited, her body affected by the potion will involuntarily change.

Fortunately, she once had the experience of the "audience" stage. With the ability of "audience", she was able to examine herself in time, so that she would not become like Mr. A in the early days. The state of flesh and blood crawling.

The reason why Audrey's mood was a little abnormal was that after she saw the contents of the newspaper, someone around her immediately went to report it to her father, which made Audrey feel a little aggrieved and confused.

Is my father spying on me?

I am obviously already a Sequence Six Beyonder and a member of the Nighthawks... My father doesn't believe me, or is he hiding something from me?

No, maybe my father is worried that I don't want to be exposed to these dangerous things... I need to ask my father clearly what he means.Now the situation in Backlund is becoming more and more confusing. I hope this matter - this serial murder case will not have anything to do with his father or be involved.

After recently investigating various things about Backlund, Audrey thought with some worry. The more she knew, the more she discovered that many things were not as she originally thought.

For example, the number of people killed by "witches" and "devils" in Backlund is far less than the number of workers killed by factory owners in the Backlund factory area, and the number of factories that have committed such acts is probably This includes industries related to your own family.

For another example, when I used the ability of "Rose Bishop", I could see the "corruption" in my father.

This feeling gave Audrey a bone-crushing pain - her father, who taught her not to be "evil", could be so deeply "depraved".

"——I need to ask my father carefully what he knows. I need to tell him that if he makes a wrong move, he will be greeted by an abyss of eternal destruction..."

Audrey said to herself in her heart, she felt her heart beating continuously.

The pride of a noble, the dignity that a noble should have, the love for his family, the pursuit of his career, plus a little respect for the emperor; this seems to constitute the entire meaning of Earl Hall's existence.

But what should a father do? Is his charity to ordinary people something he wants to change for them, or is it a perfect political show?

Audrey wants to figure these things out.

Because she knew that she had been instilled by her father with almost all the beautiful ideas under her father's happy care. But such beautiful ideas are like the difference between ideals and reality. Even if she understands that this is right, Earl Hall Nor will he practice these concepts in the same way he educates his own daughter.

Earl Hall understands that if he really practices his creed like educating his daughter, then he will only be devoured by other wolves who have no moral bottom line, and he will not be able to protect his wife and daughter. .

When the strength is about the same, which side has a lower moral standard seems to be the reason why that side can win.

No matter what, Audrey still maintained her deep love for her father and her family; she knew that they were still more degenerate than other nobles, but she did not want to part ways with her family.

That might make her feel cheerful and decisive, but for Audrey, she felt that this would be the most tragic ending between them.

After all, what could be more tragic than being separated from your family because of your ideals? If so, it is because of his ideals that he draws a sword against his family.

Audrey never wanted to end up on such a path with her father and family.

"Take me to my father, take me to Earl Hall." Audrey's pupils turned pure gold, and she used her "psychiatrist" ability on ordinary people for the first time.

There seemed to be roses squirming in her veins, and her expression was as angry as an ancient fantasy dragon.

"——Go tell him I'm coming."

Audrey solemnly declared:

"Go tell Father that I am going to talk to him - I don't want any more temptations between Father and me. Regardless of whether you have received orders from Father or not, you will definitely pass on my message."

Audrey's expression was solemn, like a bishop holding a scepter:

"Please tell him that I want to believe him, so I have to be honest with him."

"-Don't try to hide it."

Audrey needs to know whether her father wants to protect her and prevents her from being exposed to these things; or because he is also involved in this case - although Audrey does not want to use such bad ideas to speculate on her father , but the depravity she saw in her father was indeed completely true.

After a while, she followed the servant who had taken her away back to the manor. After a while, she appeared in front of Earl Hall.

Audrey looked at her father. After a long moment of silence, he spoke to him calmly:

"Father, what else are you hiding from me?"

——Why did you stop me from seeing the serial murder case?

Audrey looked at Earl Hall with burning eyes, restraining the golden light that was about to appear in her pupils. She still doesn't want to use extraordinary powers on her family.

Earl Hall frowned and said vaguely: "I don't want you to be involved in more dangers, my daughter."

"Obviously it was you who asked me if I wanted to join the Nighthawks." Audrey said without hesitation: "It was you who told me to be kind to others. Everything I want to investigate now are the concepts you taught me - could all of this be true? Is it fake? Is this all your show?"

Earl Hall stood up suddenly, with anger about to burst out in his eyes:

"I'm doing this for your own good, Audrey!"

Under her father's rebuke, Audrey was obviously startled, and a faint golden light flashed in her eyes. She stared at her father without giving in.

After a long while, he lowered his voice and said to Audrey:

"…Then what can I do?"

"Do you know? At that time, you were a saint of the church. You asked me if you had the intention to join the church and become a night watcher - can I go against the will of a saint?"

"I don't want you to sacrifice many precious things to protect the lives of others, and I don't want to hear that one day you will become one of the night watchers who died in the line of duty in the newspaper - there are many things I can't tell you. But the position you hold now is far more dangerous than you might imagine right now—especially in this day and age.”

<divclass="contentadv"> Earl Hall obviously knew something, but even under the inducement of the "psychiatrist", he restrained himself and continued to say to Audrey:

"Yes, I have taught you to be kind to ordinary people. I often donate part of my money and part of my assets to them, but I can tolerate the lack of a dish on the table, but I cannot tolerate the loss of family dignity. !”

Earl Hall's tone gradually became louder:

"Do you think you are the only one who is special? Audrey, you are not the only extraordinary person in Backlund!"

"I have witnessed the terrifying power of those truly powerful people, and now they are everywhere - Duke Abraham has released kindness from nowhere to me, and the bishops of the church have also shown terrifying power - I just hope that I can protect you so that you will not become a needless victim in the struggle between the Church and the Empire."

"Until now, Alfred has not fully recovered the mind that an ordinary person should have. I don't want to lose you again!"

Audrey was silent for a long time. She originally wanted to ask Earl Hall aggressively about the recent case, but under the influence of his extraordinary ability, Earl Hall revealed his true feelings.

——I still used my extraordinary ability on my father.

Audrey gritted her teeth and asked:

"Where are the civilians?"

"What do they mean to you?"

"If I don't protect them, how can they protect themselves?"

Earl Hall stood up and glanced at the servant beside him. The servant was stunned for a moment, and then quickly left the room in shock.

"Their lives are completely incomparable to yours." Under psychological induction, Earl Hall said in an almost arrogant tone. Audrey knew that she had triggered her father's true thoughts, but she still felt a little surprised.

"They can't compare to you, your mother, your brother, me, and even the entire Hall family."

Earl Hall shook his head:

"Why do you think they are people with equal personalities to us? As a new noble, I can still regard them as creatures with a similar will to us."

"And some nobles even think that they are just incompletely developed animals that cannot even be called humans, but they just happen to have the same appearance as us. (Note 1)"

"And now you are telling me that you want to fight for them, sacrifice a lot of your time to protect them, and even threaten your own safety?"

Audrey was stunned for a moment.

Earl Hall continued:

"Do you think so, Audrey? Do you even want to sacrifice your life for them?"

"Stop fantasizing, Audrey. Every piece of clothing on your body is worth hundreds or even tens of thousands of gold pounds. And even if they sacrifice their lives in the factory, they can only get a few su. A pension of even a few gold pounds!"

"——Do you think you want to uphold 'justice' just by relying on your own extraordinary ability, which is not too strong?"

Audrey looked at her father and felt that he was very strange.

She took a deep breath:

"Then why have you taught me this since I was a kid?"

"Then why do you want to teach me to be like this again?"

"Do you think I can live in an ivory tower my whole life and not come into contact with these things?"

The golden light in Audrey's eyes gradually extinguished. Although she got the answer she wanted and knew that her father had no connection with the conspiracy mastermind behind the serial murderers, she couldn't be happy at all.

She gritted her teeth:

"I'm leaving."

"Come back!" Earl Hall rebuked Audrey loudly. Although he vaguely felt that something was wrong, he needed to maintain himself and the dignity of the Hall family:

"Where do you want to go? You are from the Hall family!"

He reached out to grab his daughter's shoulders.He felt very strange to himself just now, and suddenly felt that if he didn't do this, he would probably lose his daughter.

However, what he encountered was not the feeling of pressing his shoulders, but a sticky feeling in his hands.

He saw Audrey look at him with the same extremely unfamiliar expression, and sighed longly:

"I'm sorry... Dad."

Then she left him without looking back.

……

Earl Hall stretched out his hand, but finally put it down feebly.

He sat here for a long time and didn't see Audrey come back until night.

Facing his wife's question at the dinner table, he gritted his teeth. said:

"Audrey goes to church."

He smiled bitterly while listening to his wife's complaints and worries - he wished his daughter was actually in the church now.

Why would I say that? Earl Hall was puzzled.

Klein frowned and looked at a spiritual messenger who suddenly appeared next to him. This messenger had a strong aura of the Church of the Night.
