Chapter 88 Promotion to "Living Corpse"
After the tarot session, Audrey returned to the real world.
She thought for a moment about the information she had shared at the Tarot meeting, then made a deal with "The World" and obtained the extraordinary characteristic of "Living Person".
After taking a sip of the water on the table, Audrey felt she should talk to Raphael as soon as possible.
So she found an excuse to go out by carriage, and then met Raphael on the next street, just like last time.
Raphael, with a slightly wicked look in his eyes, boarded the carriage. Seeing the beautiful young lady before him looking somewhat dejected, he smiled and said, "If our previous conversation displeased you, I apologize."
In his heart, he thought: "Beautiful lady, you have to hang in there! I'm counting on you to digest the 'devil's' potion in the future."
"It's nothing," Audrey said, perking up. "I underestimated some things before."
Raphael said nothing more: "Did you call me out this time to finalize a new deal?"
Audrey nodded, took out a wooden box and opened it. Inside was a small, pale heart. Raphael's spirituality immediately confirmed that it possessed the characteristics of a "living being".
Raphael then took out the second and third layers of the "Great Method of Concentrating the Mind" that he had translated long ago and handed them over.
Audrey glanced at it twice, put it into the prepared folder, and said to Raphael, "I sold the information you provided about the Aurora Society for 500 points. You can choose to accept cash or other equivalent compensation."
Raphael thought for a moment and then said, "I don't need anything for now. Let's talk about it later."
He then added, "Oh, by the way, I learned from chatting with members of the Aurora Society yesterday that they're going to hold a bloody ritual in Port Enmat. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but I do know that two divine messengers have already arrived there."
Since information about the "Aurora Society" could be exchanged for such a large reward, Raphael was naturally happy to provide more.
Raphael guessed that this was probably a cover for a major operation in Backlund.
However, there is no evidence for this speculation yet, so he did not elaborate.
Audrey paused for a moment, sensing that Raphael had skewed slightly toward the side of justice.
At this moment, when Audrey looks at Raphael, it's as if there's a scale weighing them, with justice on one side and evil on the other.
When they heard that he had killed an official Beyonder, the evil side was slightly suppressed. However, the information Raphael had just mentioned spurred the good side to gain momentum again, maintaining a precarious balance.
Audrey's smile became much more genuine: "I will make this intelligence valuable."
Then she said seriously, "I also want to talk to you about the topic we discussed last time. I've noticed that you not only have your own views on the rules of this world, but you also know how to make those rules better."
"We can talk about this. I will use my channels to make the rules more perfect, at least more beneficial to ordinary people."
Raphael smirked and said, "I don't owe this world anything, so why should I do this kind of thing?"
This answer completely surprised Audrey, but she didn't know how to refute it for a moment. After a second or two, she said, "After the world became a better place, you also—"
Raphael waved his hand and said, "Why make it better? I think it's fine as it is."
Before Audrey could say anything more, Raphael flatly refused, saying, "You can pray to the Seven Gods for this, or ask the leader of your organization, or even your count father."
Raphael shrugged. "Why are you asking me?"
Audrey finally understood why, at a previous tarot reading, Mr. "The Hanged Man" thought he might not be able to control Raphael on his own.
Because Raphael was not only incredibly driven in his actions, but also achieved a bizarre self-consistency in his logical thinking.
Audrey now actually thought Raphael was right. He hadn't received any benefits from this world, so why should he worry about these things?
But hearing such an infuriating reply, Audrey really wanted to "hypnotize" the guy and make him behave.
Taking a deep breath, Audrey, who had almost lost her composure as an "audience member," finally calmed herself down. She knew very well that Raphael had no obligation in this regard, but his way of expressing it was anything but tactful, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Raphael observed Audrey's reaction with a detached eye. He wasn't afraid that Audrey would suddenly attack him because her morals and values prevented her from resorting to extreme measures in such a situation.
Thinking of this, Raphael suddenly smiled: After advancing to "Demon", I must talk to people like this more often.
Having regained her composure, Audrey asked again, "Why didn't you tell me before? You actually killed two members of the 'Punisher' team?"
Raphael opened his mouth to discuss this matter with Audrey, but then seemed to suddenly remember something: "Let's talk about this later." He thought to himself: "After I advance to 'Demon,' I'll definitely be able to digest some more potions. Sigh, in this era, it's hard to find someone as innocent and kind as me."
Without giving Audrey a chance to discuss the matter further, Raphael immediately took his leave and quickly disembarked from the carriage.
Audrey was a little puzzled: Why do we have to wait a while before we talk about it?
Then she realized that the conversation seemed to have no effect at all; Raphael had no intention of making any changes.
Audrey felt she needed to communicate with "Judgment" Hugh to strengthen her control over Raphael. If all else failed, she could consult "The Hanged Man" for advice on what to do in this situation.
On the other side, after getting off the carriage, Raphael did not return to the Mafia headquarters, but quickly went back to his residence. He had already prepared the supporting materials and was about to be promoted.
Once you reach the sixth level of the sequence, the auxiliary materials become harder to find and are generally not cheap.
Fortunately, Raphael regularly attended the Aurora Society's Extraordinary Gatherings, and it cost him over £500 to gather the necessary materials.
After returning to his residence, Raphael calmed himself down a bit and immediately began weighing the materials, finally adding the extraordinary properties that resembled a pale heart.
Soon a thick, white liquid resembling phlegm was prepared, and just looking at it made Raphael feel disgusted.
He shifted his gaze to the two plush toys on the table: "We've known each other for so long, and I haven't even asked your names yet. Let's introduce ourselves after I've completed my promotion."
Taking advantage of the moment when his attention was slightly diverted, Raphael gulped down the thick potion.
When the beetle~
The beaker fell to the ground, and Raphael clutched his neck in agony: "I can't breathe! I can't breathe! Damn it, I'm going to die from this phlegm!"
