Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Klein and Leonard looked at each other.

Obviously, the two had no idea about Audrey's current situation, or in other words, based on the existing contact, they couldn't guess where the key point was and had no idea where to start.

However, at this moment, Fors entered their sight.

In this case, why not change your thinking?

"...Maybe we don't know enough about Audrey, or maybe now is not Audrey's 'time'. In your plan, Audrey shouldn't be awakened by us at this point in time..." Leonard thought for a moment, "Since we have met, we can contact Fors..."

Klein agreed.

So a spirit and a secret bird Qiaoqiao landed on the windowsill and quietly joined the team monitoring Audrey.

To the two's surprise, not only were there eyes on Audrey's clinic, but some eyes were also focused here with Fors' arrival.

Why was Fors being monitored? Did they discover the relationship between her and Audrey? Then why was someone monitoring Audrey?

Klein took out a gold star coin and did a quick divination.

As the golden star coin fell, an image flooded into Klein's mind.

In the spacious and complex operation room, a group of technicians in Abraham Group uniforms were running around anxiously. Someone was sitting in a glass cubicle, listening to a radio recording with a serious face, and ordered to immediately put the two people who appeared in the recording under protective surveillance. From the screen, it can be seen that this video is an excerpt from the call record of the outpost space station.

Therefore, the people who were monitoring the two were from the Abraham Group. Fors and Audrey met on a radio program, and that day happened to be when the outpost incident broke out.

Audrey hosts a program on the Loen Royal Radio Station. This radio station seems to be a [safe radio station] that can be received in space - on the surface of the starry sky. Its royal background is responsible for its reliability.

This reminded Klein of some news from long ago: In order to improve the psychological condition of astronauts and the possibility of space sequelae, several decades ago, major space technology groups added various radio stations, televisions and other entertainment facilities that could receive ground signals to roaming spacecraft.

However, the development of roaming spacecraft has only been able to receive a limited number of signals. On the one hand, the environment of the surface of the starry sky is complex, and it is difficult to transmit signals to the roaming spacecraft and the space station at the physical level. Only some powerful media companies can do it; on the other hand, the spiritual environment of the surface of the starry sky is also unstable, and the roaming spacecraft can easily receive unknown signals from the deep layer of the starry sky or from unknown places. In addition to signals from church backgrounds, government backgrounds, and other extraordinary forces, ordinary signals can easily be contaminated by unknown information, bringing unknown disasters to both the ground and the space station.

It was under such circumstances that Audrey and Fors were drawn into this extraordinary event.

Before this, as a programmer at Speedy Feathers, Klein was still quite concerned about news on contemporary technological developments. Now he did not think that the current rover technology could only be equipped with so few ground signals, which was obviously the result of human selection.

Klein was surprised to hear that in the current Loen language, the concept of "space" was derived from the mystical term "starry sky", and it still carried a strong mystical connotation. People called the area within the outpost orbit and the area that satellites and spacecraft could reach the "surface of the starry sky", and the unknown areas outside the outpost orbit were all called "the depths of the starry sky", and "space technology" was called "roaming technology" in the Loen language.

The same expressions are found in other languages, most of which are derived from the terminology of mysticism. This is enough to prove that when this technology was first developed hundreds of years ago, it was inseparable from the Beyonders. Perhaps in the era of the Second Steam Revolution at the beginning of the Sixth Epoch, those legends of flying into the blue sky and roaming the moon were all true, except that the protagonists were all Beyonders.

Now, in the information age, roaming technology is enough to send ordinary people to the surface of the starry sky, but life and death are unpredictable due to mystical factors.

In the history books of the Sixth Epoch, the first recognized astronaut was named Alexander Abraham, who boarded the "Bethel II" rover spacecraft and leapt into the surface of the starry sky. After a day of roaming, he returned safely to the surface. From this point of view, the Abraham family undoubtedly made a huge contribution to the mortal rover technology.

It was strange that in the Wandering Industry where almost all words came from the mysticism, there was only one word with an old-fashioned flavor, "astronaut", which seemed a bit abrupt, and the pronunciation was even a bit unlike the Loen language.

It is "a man who travels in space", not "a man who wanders in the stars"...

When it comes to this, Leonard spreads his hands.

"I do not know."

He answered fluently, just like the best answers on any Q&A site.

"You gave it the name."

…Okay, suddenly everything makes sense…

Even though the most notable feature of the Sixth Epoch is the bright white moon, the moon is still not an area that can be explored by ordinary technology. It is located outside the orbit of the outpost, and people can only watch this unreachable planet from afar in the outpost.

According to the information provided by Leonard, the gods have moved further away from the human world and re-established a barrier somewhere beyond the moon. In fact, there is still only a pitiful amount of safe zone for human development. Even with the help of geographic satellites, humans still cannot understand the full picture of this planet, and no company can draw a rough map of the world.

There are always some unknown forbidden places that even artificial satellites cannot detect.

Perhaps those Abrahams have first-hand information about the moon. Those "Wanderers" in the Apprentice Path Sequence Three have the ability to roam the starry sky. They should have done a lot of research on the depths of the starry sky.

"So, you're here to apologize for what happened a month ago?"

Audrey served tea to Fors.

"No, I... should I say, I do want to apologize for what happened last time, Miss Audrey. I'm sorry for ruining your show that day."

Fors felt a little awkward sitting on the sofa.

"You don't have to apologize for this. The fact that you called into my show means that you have a problem and want help. You didn't do it on purpose, it was just an accident, your 'little problem' just flared up, you didn't do anything wrong.

“In fact, this happens all the time. There are always some listeners who are unwilling to face or solve problems when they encounter them, and only call the program team when they are about to be overwhelmed, and then break down and cry on the show.

“It’s not your fault, ma’am.

"Just like a surgeon won't be disgusted by a patient with purulent infection that fills the ward with stench, a dermatologist won't turn away a patient because of skin flakes all over the floor. I'm a psychologist, so of course I won't reject your confession just because the patient is crying and yelling in front of me."

Audrey specifically replaced the word “patient” with “appointment-holder.”

"...Thank you, Miss Audrey. Actually, I came here today to ask you for a serious psychological consultation..."

As the other party spoke, Fors gradually relaxed and began to describe his troubles.

“…As I said last time on the show, I always hear some strange noises in my ears, intermittent and vague…

"I feel like I have become a radio, a radio station. It's as if many people are holding walkie-talkies and talking on my channel. Sometimes it's a string of symbols, sometimes it's some conversations, but I usually can't hear clearly..."

"I think these are probably hallucinations, ma'am." Audrey said, "You may need to clearly realize that these things do not exist..."

"Yes, I know very well that these are all hallucinations... Sometimes I can see some strange images in my dreams... I feel as if there are many of me, seeing different things in different places..."

"It's a good sign that you can distinguish hallucinations from reality." Audrey took notes. "Do these auditory and visual hallucinations affect your daily life now?"

"No...No, not normally..."

Fors took out a cigarette, squeezed it twice, secretly looked up at Audrey, and put the cigarette back.

"I feel like my life is terrible, but I know that these auditory hallucinations are not the culprit that has made my life like this, and even if they disappear, they can't make my life better...

"Or, it's okay to just live in this muddle, but I want a better life and write better poetry, but I don't know how to do it... It seems that all avenues are closed to me..."

"Better poetry?" Audrey caught the key words. "If I remember correctly, you are a poet, right?"

"Yes, Miss Audrey. But... I may not be called a poet. I can only be regarded as someone who makes a living with words. I am really a person without talent. Those great poets either have extraordinary talents or extraordinary experiences, but I am just a small person and have nothing..."

After looking at the notes and thinking for a while, Audrey came up with her own idea.

“You can clearly distinguish hallucinations from reality, and hallucinations generally don’t have much impact on your life, which is a good thing.

"As for the occasional outbursts like last time, I suggest you go to the hospital to seek help from a psychiatrist and get some medicine prescribed for you to take when you have an outburst. I think this situation is probably related to your anxiety during this period.

“As for changing your life… I think you can start with small things, make some small changes to build up some confidence in yourself, I think this will also help your poetry writing…

"Ms. Fors, have you ever traveled to other cities? Wintershire? Port Cote? Tingen? Or other overseas trips?"

"...No, I have lived in Backlund since I was born, but I am not very familiar with Backlund. After graduation, I still stayed in the apartment most of the time...I haven't even gone out much in the past month..."

"I think I may know what kind of 'prescription' to prescribe for you, Miss Forth."

Audrey closed her notebook.

"Maybe... you need an amazing trip?"
