Mystery: When the Fool Meets the Masked Fool

Chapter 151: Small Justice, Big Adventure

"What are you thinking about?" Viscount Fox looked suspiciously at Audrey's eyes.

He suddenly seemed to feel something wrong with his brain waves.

"No, nothing." Audrey's eyes avoided a little.

She tried to calm her emotions through meditation and pull her mind away from "Love and Tarot Club".

"Eh... Viscount Fosse, I've always been curious about a question." She tried to change the subject.

"You ask." Viscount Fox was very curious about what Audrey could ask.

"You mentioned the Zhumo School just now, so I roughly guessed that the Pre-Evaluators and City Builders should also belong to their own different factions, right?" Audrey asked.

"Yes." Viscount Foss admitted straightforwardly, "I've never been good at naming things, so I just borrowed their names."

Audrey nodded briskly. "But I've never seen these factions before. Or rather, I've never even heard of them before. Can you tell me about them?"

"This, I may not be able to finish explaining it in a short time. Perhaps you can go and see it with your own eyes." Viscount Fox suggested.

"Are you going to introduce me to them?" Audrey asked with a little excitement.

"No, no, no, I mean you can go and see it with your own eyes... in your dream." Viscount Foss said with a smile.

Are you saying I'm daydreaming?
Audrey couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.

"I think you probably misunderstood what I meant." Viscount Foss chuckled.

“People’s minds are interconnected, forming a vast ocean of subconsciousness. At the junction of dreams and illusions, we can more easily see the memories of the world.”

"According to this principle, we simulate the workings of the world through the destiny of [intelligence] and [memory], weaving past events into the future."

"This is a genius invention. She calls it a simulated universe. In the simulated universe, you can see any faction you can imagine or even imagine."

"Lord Fox, you mentioned a simulated universe. Are there aliens in it?" Audrey's eyes widened.

"In fact, it's full of aliens," said Ceris with a smile.

Audrey was very excited: "So when can I enter the simulation universe?"

"After you entered the dream, maybe once every Tuesday," said Ceres.

"Thank you so much." Audrey was very happy. "Then what should I give?"

"You're welcome. You don't have to pay anything. As you know, I'm a believer in joy, and making myself and others happy is the best reward for me."

In the middle of the night, Klein returned home exhausted after a tiring day. He ate a few slices of bread and then fell directly onto the bed.

At this moment, a text message suddenly came from the mobile phone.

Klein picked it up and took a look.

Prince Pig: "Tonight's simulation universe is cancelled. From now on, the simulation universe will be changed to irregular schedule."

Want to make a lot of money: "Why? Did something happen?"

Prince Pig: "Because I want to give special treatment to the lovely Miss Justice, you old rough man, go and stay where you want to be."

Want to make a lot of money: "?"

At night, in the Hall family’s luxurious villa.

Audrey was lying on a large, exquisite bed covered with silk. When she turned over, wrinkles instantly appeared on the silk mattress, which was worth half a year's salary of Mr. Fool.

Thinking about meeting those mysterious factions today, Audrey tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

So exciting, so exciting. To be able to see such a strange scene is...

As time passed, sleepiness gradually set in. Audrey's eyelids grew heavier, and her excited consciousness became hazy.

Suddenly, she smelled a faint floral scent, a scent she had never smelled before.

Her consciousness suddenly became clear and she opened her eyes and woke up.

She found herself sitting in a dark tent.

In front of her, a young, elegant woman waved, a hazy veil draped around her body, her long white hair spread out behind her head.

But unfortunately, Audrey is from Loen.

Miss.

"Good evening." Audrey subconsciously straightened her back, sat up straight, and showed a standard aristocratic smile.

Mr. Devil had told her that although the people in the simulated universe were simulated, they had their own lives, their own thoughts, and their own stories. In this simulated universe, they were absolutely real.

Audrey subconsciously activated her clairvoyance, but could only see a hazy mist.

"Good evening, young noble lady." His dark eyes wandered over Audrey's body, as if he could glimpse her fate.

"Are you a fortune teller?" Audrey leaned forward slightly, her eyes sparkling.

This atmosphere and this dress really look like the fortune teller Audrey imagined.

"No." The lady shook her head slightly, her voice hazy and soft, like a dream. "I am just a rememberer."

"Rememberer?" Audrey was very excited when she heard a brand new term.

"Liuguang Yiting, I think you should have heard of it."

Audrey wanted to shake her head, but felt that would be too rude. She had heard it now, so she nodded.

The Rememberer smiled and said, "Fortune-telling is nothing but a trick. But I am different. I can decide your own destiny for you."

She pulled out a deck of tarot cards from her sleeve, took out three cards, and placed them face up in front of Audrey.

"In the future, countless people will want to peek at its appearance, but will regret it after getting it." She exhaled a colorful breath, like a deep-sea worm, wrapping Audrey in it.

"Hmm..." Audrey looked at the tarot cards in front of her, "Do you want me to draw one?"

"No, I want you to choose one." The Rememberer spoke slowly and gently turned over the three tarot cards.

The first card depicts a small mountain of gold coins, atop which flowers bloom, and people singing and dancing around it. The second card depicts a balance scale, with the left side empty and slightly tilted, and the right side slightly sunken, with a golden iris on top.

The third card depicts a garden full of flowers. A lady whose face cannot be seen clearly is sitting on a bench in the middle of the garden with an easel in front of her.

"This is..." Audrey looked at it carefully, "A direct choice?"

"Yes, just choose directly." The Rememberer nodded gently, "A person's destiny should be in their own hands."

"Then... I choose this one." Audrey pointed to the second card.

"Good choice." The Rememberer nodded. "Now it belongs to you."

"The future is always uncertain. Just use riddles to slightly change your perspective on things, and the world will change because of you." The Rememberer (?) smiled slightly, and his body seemed to be erased by an eraser, dissipating in the melodious piano music.

Audrey lowered her head again. Two of the three tarot cards on the table were gone, leaving only the one with the scales on it.

Pulling open the tent curtain, Audrey bent down and walked out of the dim tent.

As soon as she came out, she was immediately shocked by the scene outside.

In the tent, she could hear the sound of the rain, the sounds of people walking and talking, and the cries of vendors.

But when she left the tent, she found herself on a boat.

She looked back and found that there was no tent behind her, only a cabin with the door open. The interior of the cabin was exactly the same as what she had seen in the tent.

The tent just now was fake.

Audrey didn't feel cheated at all; she just found it novel and interesting.

And this is not the most interesting thing. The most interesting thing is the environment around her.

The wooden deck shone with a pale green light, the sky was bright, and the sea was surging. Whether it was the clouds in the sky or the waves on the sea, if you looked closely, you could see the numbers 0 and 1 shining among them.

This was a scene she had never seen before, and could not even imagine.

The ship created ripples on the water. The sailors around it manipulated the hull to cover it with layers of foam, and then moved forward towards the dark ocean ahead.

Audrey knew that her presence would be "rationalized", so she was not worried at all about being thrown overboard by the sailors.

Even though I don’t know what my identity is.

She lifted her skirt to catch up, came to the railing on the edge of the boat, held on to it tightly and looked down, watching the waves made of 0s and 1s seep into the foam and hit the boat.

It's like a fairy tale.

A purple lionfish suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed straight towards Audrey. Its sharp poisonous stinger hit Audrey's cheek. She screamed and stepped back subconsciously.

Before being stung by the stinger, a harpoon shot out from its side and pierced the lionfish's body. The lionfish's body immediately disintegrated, turning into 0s and 1s scattered all over the ground.

"Be careful, Captain." The sailor's rough voice came from beside him.

It turns out I am the captain.

Audrey nodded quickly: "Okay, thank you."

Suddenly, several ships appeared and surrounded Audrey and the others.

Audrey observed carefully that they were also made up of numbers, but they were 0, 1, and 2.

"The remnants of the Tri-Empire! They are attacking us!" Audrey heard the sailors shouting.

At this moment, cannons suddenly appeared on the ship under Audrey's feet, and she was surprised to find that she could actually control some of the cannons.

Before Audrey could react, some of the cannons that were not under her control had already engaged in a firefight with the surrounding ships.

Without thinking too much, Audrey naturally joined the battle.

After she activated her clairvoyance, she could clearly predict every move of the enemy fleet, when to fire, when to move, all of which were clearly visible to her.

"Boom."

As a ship on the left was about to fire, Audrey controlled a cannon and hit its warming barrel.

Two shells exploded on the hull at the same time, blowing off pieces of digital fragments of 0, 1, and 2 from the ship.

When several shells were about to hit the hull under Audrey's feet, she fired in advance and intercepted them in mid-air.

The sailors on the ship cheered and shouted that the captain was awesome.

The smile on Audrey's face became brighter and brighter, and she felt that she was gradually falling in love with this world.

Soon, the remnants of the Ternary Empire failed in their campaign against the Binary ships, and the surrounding besieging vessels turned around and fled.

Audrey was too kind after all and did not press on with her victory.

A binary comet-tailed thrush flew over her head, and she subconsciously whistled at it, and the bird immediately landed obediently on her fingertips.

Audrey stroked it and felt that it didn't seem to be much different from a normal bird in terms of touch.

Suddenly, a ball of ternary data rushed out from the underwater undercurrent and collided with the ship at an extremely high speed.

This is a torpedo bomb made of junk information in ternary code.

The infiltrated code tore apart the vehicle beneath Audrey's feet, assimilating its data, and the spam information quickly began to infiltrate.

The hull shook violently and began to fall apart from the point where it was hit.

"Emergency escape!"

Audrey heard some sailors shouting.

The next second, she felt that the hull and herself became unreal, as if they were being peeled off from this world.

No, it's not becoming unreal, it's becoming too real. So real that it doesn't fit in this world of data.

Audrey closed her eyes tightly as her head spun around.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself stranded on an island at the edge of the ocean.

And her sailors have disappeared.
