Secrets: Priestess

Chapter 83 Memory Library

“Today’s discussion ends here.” As the Fool spoke calmly, the figures at all the seats around the long bronze table disappeared in the gray mist.

Claire regained consciousness and lay on the bed in the lounge. She stayed quiet for a while.

A few minutes later, Claire silently recited the four-line mantra of "Fu Sheng Xuan Huang" again in her heart.

With her own spiritual energy depleted, Claire endured the headache and returned to the gray fog.

After the party, the huge palace was deserted and silent.

The fool is not here either.

But thinking that she could peek into the gray fog world from the outside world, Claire guessed that the Fool could probably see her return to the gray fog world at this time.

Claire stood up and tried to move forward, but the invisible wall between the seats still existed.

"As expected, I still can't move freely..."

This predictable situation did not disappoint Claire.

Over the past month, she has made many failed attempts, even punching and kicking, but she has been unable to make any impact on this invisible barrier.

Even a few days ago, she discovered that when she climbed up to the gray fog world on her own, the spiritual energy she consumed suddenly increased - the gray fog world's rejection of her suddenly increased for some reason!

This situation continued until this time.

However, just today, the spiritual energy she consumed was reduced a lot!
There must be a reason behind the increase and decrease of spiritual consumption.

Because of the previous "increase", Claire didn't have a clearer idea. She thought that the power of the Fool was reviving, which made her "smuggling" more difficult.

But the reason for this afternoon's "decrease" was obvious. It was the confrontation between the golden sun and the gray fog world last night, which had a certain impact on the gray fog world, thus giving "stowaways" like her the greatest benefit.

What is that golden sun...

Recalling that quick "glance" and the series of potion formulas of the "Singer" path recorded by the Fool in Chinese characters, it can be basically confirmed that it was an angel of the Eternal Sun Church who mastered the "Singer" path, or even a god above it...

No, that kind of person must be a god!

It is the Eternal Sun, one of the seven righteous gods!
The source of the knowledge such as potion formulas recorded on the Fool's paper is because the Fool looked directly at the Eternal Sun.

But can we gain knowledge by looking directly at God?

Claire, who had many experiences with evil gods, didn't think so.

The Fool probably not only looked directly at God, but perhaps also tempted the God in some way, which is why he obtained the knowledge written on the parchment, and thus incurred the wrath of a righteous God.

Even such a mysterious and magnificent gray fog world showed signs of fatigue under the wrath of God. If an ordinary person was "lucky" enough to look directly at God, he would surely die on the spot.

Claire touched the invisible barrier before her, glanced wordlessly at the empty seat of the Queen, and severed her connection with the gray fog world.

After regaining consciousness and calming down a bit, Claire sorted out the new information and speculations she had gained.

1. A fool is not a god, but a fool can survive after testing a god.

2. The gray fog world is suspected to be an existence of the same status as the gods.

3. The Gray Mist World is not completely equivalent to the Fool.

Relying on her photographic memory, Claire organized these ideas directly in her mind!
With the lessons learned from the Fool and Emperor Roselle, she no longer trusted all means of writing.

People who keep diaries are not serious people, because diaries reveal a person's true inner thoughts. What kind of person does not even have a dark side in their heart?

“But not writing doesn’t mean you can’t keep records.”

Claire thought of the various "memory libraries" she had seen in movies, TV shows, games, comics, etc.

"We can give it a try..." Claire released her spirituality and immersed her consciousness in the memories in her mind.

From calm and peaceful to drowsy, and then to extremely awake.

Claire "saw" the complex and vast memories surrounding her in the form of information streams.

The concept of "library" emerged in Claire's mind, and a chaotic array of information suddenly began to flow and transform.

Claire continued to add keywords to this confusing information.

At first, Claire wasn't very fast at organizing her memory information.

However, with the ability of photographic memory, the memory information is deep and clear, and these memories can be "matched", which makes the process slowly begin to accelerate.

Even in the end, it was no longer Claire who actively added keywords, but the memory information that was wrapped around Claire's consciousness to organize itself!
This process caused Claire's brain and even her body to enter "overclocking" mode. She felt trembling and tingling from her body to her spirit!
At the same time, the dark holy emblem on Claire's heart was flickering, and the black thread was struggling to extend!
A black thread broke through the seal!

It crawled over Claire's collarbone, over her neck, and then went around behind her ears and into Claire's brain!
"Claire Meazza", "Jiang Zhe", "Tai Poslan"...

"Mysterious side" "secular world"...

"Good God", "Evil God", "Suspected God"...

"Tarot Club", "Orthodox Sect", "Hidden Organization"...

The torrent of information continues to converge into an ocean and then split into countless tributaries.

Countless tributaries suddenly emerged as they intertwined like a dense net!
Amidst the upheaval, this void hidden in the deepest part of the spiritual realm, according to Claire's original idea, formed a consciousness space called the "Memory Library"!
Rows of white bookcases gathered together and gradually formed a row.

Rows of bookcases stretch into the distance...

Extending through -

In the black smoke swirling in a corner at the edge of the library!
Claire's consciousness drifted here, and she followed the bookshelf to this special place that bordered the black fog.

She saw that the bookshelves at the border turned from white to black under the erosion of the black fog.

She also saw knowledge and information emerging from the black fog from time to time, turning into her memory information.

Wherever the black fog extends, it is the pollution of the hidden sage.

Claire opened her eyes from the bed, and the mumbling in her ears was no longer there.

But I felt something strange in my body.

Claire lowered her head and saw a black line extending from her heart that would not fade away.

This is the contamination of the Hidden Sage affecting her in a more subtle way.

Claire had never expected that her attempt would lead to so many accidents, and she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse. But no matter how unforeseen the accident was, regret and panic were useless emotions.

"It's all just a matter of fighting back." Claire chuckled and sighed, "I just didn't expect to be a librarian again..."

It was a rare moment of peace and quiet, and Claire lay in bed for a while, unwilling to get up.

It wasn't until Luo Yao, who had just returned from his duty, came to call her and said that Dunn had assigned her a task.

Claire came to Dunn's office.

"The number of people who believe in evil gods is increasing year by year, and more and more cultists are becoming agitated."

Dunn said:

"There's a case of corpse theft in a cemetery. Go investigate."
