Chapter 261 The Purpose of the "Goddess of the Night"
Upon hearing Raphael's words, Audrey immediately asked, "Why?"
Raphael replied, "Because Susie did not participate in the previous Quaternary expeditions."
Seeing that Audrey still looked blank, he smiled and explained further, "During that operation, we must have been watched by the Goddess of the Night."
The fact that "the Underworld Emperor" is there will most likely attract the attention of the "Goddess of the Night."
In the past, the "Goddess of the Night" might not have noticed that place, but now that the "Goddess" has mastered the uniqueness of the "Death God's" path, she should be able to find it.
Of course, the "Goddess of the Night" is unlikely to be considering using that teleportation array now. She will most likely observe whether her mastery of the uniqueness of the "Death God's" pathway will affect the "Emperor of the Underworld's" previous arrangements, and how significant that impact will be.
Therefore, Raphael and his companions' actions at that time were likely to attract the attention of the "Goddess of the Night".
Raphael continued, "—If I'm not mistaken, it was after that operation that you felt a strange connection with this painting, wasn't it?"
Audrey thought for a moment before nodding: "Yes."
In this way, Raphael's guess is basically correct. It was the gaze of the "Goddess of Night" or some kind of mark placed on them that created the connection between Audrey and the painting.
Because Susie did not participate in that operation, she was unable to enter the painting even with the help of the corresponding abilities in her dreams.
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't expected to be noticed by the "Goddess of the Night" without even realizing it. She felt quite pressured and wondered if the goddess would continue to pay attention to her.
Then she smiled somewhat helplessly. As a believer of the "goddess," shouldn't she be hoping for the goddess's attention? Why was she unhappy after receiving her gaze? Had she really become a complete follower of Mr. Fool?
Thinking this, Audrey's smile vanished: "If the 'Goddess' witnessed our previous actions, wouldn't she also know that we are the chosen ones of Mr. 'Fool' and the deity you worship?"
Raphael calmly replied, "If you know, you know. He didn't demand that everyone in the world worship the Goddess of Night, did he?"
Audrey frowned slightly, her beautiful brows furrowing: "That's true, but Mr. Fool—"
Mr. Fool and Lord of Evil Desire are evil gods. Is it really a good thing that an evil god has taken notice of them?
"The 'goddess's' main concern is actually that we help her look at the seal he has in the oil painting," Raphael said. "Besides, don't think that in the eyes of gods there is only a difference between evil gods and good gods."
"I think they should only divide people into two categories: those who can be cooperated with or exploited, and those who cannot be cooperated with or exploited."
Then he lowered his voice and said, "Of course, the most important thing is that if we trace back further, the current seven gods were all evil gods in the past."
Audrey covered her mouth with her hand, which was agape in surprise, but she immediately recalled some information she had received from the Tarot meeting and knew that this was indeed the case.
After finishing the last sip of his beer, Raphael muttered to himself, "It doesn't seem to make much sense to whisper such bad things about the gods."
He then stood up and said, "Alright, I'm going back to rest."
The two injuries Raphael sustained in the painting were not ordinary wounds; even with his good recovery ability, he felt exhausted at that moment.
Audrey quickly asked, "How can I thank you?"
"Let's talk about it later," Raphael said. "Perhaps I'll need your help someday."
He was about to leave using the excuse of "travel" when he suddenly remembered: "Give me the gloves."
"Oh, oh, oh." Audrey then remembered that she had been wearing "Wriggling Hunger" and hadn't taken it off to return it to Raphael.
After putting on the gloves, Raphael disappeared from Audrey's room.
Susie, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, "Audrey, you—you were acting a little strange in front of Raphael just now."
Audrey was taken aback: "What's strange?"
"Sometimes you're very careful, sometimes you avoid his gaze, which is completely different from your usual generous and confident demeanor. I don't remember you reacting like that in front of other men either," Susie said. "On the contrary, I remember that when you talked about Raphael or met him before, you didn't have this strange reaction."
"Did you have some special experience with oil painting?"
"Really?" Audrey laughed. "I didn't have any special experiences."
He was teased by Raphael in front of some nude statues, and Raphael even carried him in his arms. Raphael saw his crazy side, and in the end, he carried Raphael to escape.
Previously, Audrey was affected by "mental deprivation" and had laughed wildly and run around, but she still had memories of that time. She felt very embarrassed because she had always been able to maintain elegance and basic composure no matter what situation she encountered.
As for the last stretch of the road, Raphael was seriously injured and almost entirely relied on Audrey as the two of them moved forward together.
This was an experience Audrey had never had before.
Thinking of this, Audrey took a deep breath and said to herself: Audrey, don't take it too seriously. The situation was critical at the time, and there was no time to think about such things. I believe Raphael wouldn't have thought much of it either.
Susie tilted her head: Audrey was indeed acting strangely.
Audrey quickly calmed herself down and got down to business. Her blood-soaked clothes needed to be dealt with, but she had a whole room full of clothes, and with a little hypnosis, the servants wouldn't notice that a dress was missing.
And then there's that beer mug. Audrey never drank beer before, but now that she suddenly wants one, she has to find a reason to cover it up.
That night, Audrey went to bed early and had a dream in which she returned to the palace with the "Goddess of the Night".
A naked, handsome male statue walked towards her and embraced her. At that moment, Audrey suddenly felt that the other person's aura was very familiar, which made her not resist.
She looked up and, sure enough, saw that the statue bore Raphael's face.
Call ~
Audrey woke up abruptly: Why would I have such a dream?
This was the first time she had ever dreamed of intimate contact with a man.
She took a deep breath, thinking it must be because of the physical contact she had with Raphael; this feeling was very unfamiliar to her.
Audrey calmed herself down and quickly drifted off to sleep again.
The next day, Audrey went to work as usual, and in the afternoon, she had Susie work in her place while she went to her lounge to prepare for the tarot session.
At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Audrey's vision was obscured by a gray fog.
In the blink of an eye, she entered the Tarot Club's venue.
