Chapter 75: Consolation

Chapter 75: Consolation

Hearing Miss Justice’s slightly desolate and bewildered words, Klein felt a certain empathy, because similar thoughts had surfaced in him earlier as well.

After recalling for a few seconds the motivational essays and emotional chicken soup he had read in his previous life, he considered his words and said, “The death of a father is very small to Loen as a whole. It might happen every day, perhaps more than once. But to his children and his family, it is a major event capable of changing fate.

“In the same way, below the level of angels, every person’s ending is predestined. They will inevitably pass away. They will inevitably be buried. But that does not mean the time from birth to death is meaningless.”

Justice Audrey listened and nodded slightly. Once again, she spoke in that self-mocking tone.

“I understand these principles. It’s only that the secret you just told me was too shocking. For a moment, I couldn’t control my emotions.

“As a Psychiatrist, I actually need someone else to console me…”

Klein smiled.

“Isn’t that very normal? Many times, we can recognize whether another person’s state is normal, but we cannot see our own problems clearly. Haven’t you said before that you and Susie occasionally counsel each other?”

Because Dwayne Dantès had seen Susie, the golden retriever, Audrey had not hidden related matters during their casual conversations.

Audrey nodded gently.

“Mm… That is true.

“I’ve already thought it through. I will do what I can, and leave no regrets.”

She gradually adjusted her mental state.

Klein then said, “It isn’t only about leaving no regrets. Perhaps the things we do can also accumulate strength for resisting the apocalypse.

“Compared to the whole, they may seem insignificant. But even the broadest desert is formed from grain after grain of sand. Even an ocean with no visible end is gathered drop by drop. If every person gives off whatever warmth and light they can, perhaps a little hope may be born.”

“Give off whatever warmth and light…” Audrey quietly repeated the key words in The World Gehrman Sparrow’s statement.

“I’m not the one who said that,” Klein added with a smile.

Audrey’s lips curved, and she responded with a faint smile.

“Was it Emperor Roselle?”

I don’t know whether he ever said it… Going through his quotations requires enduring a powerful sense of shame. I still haven’t managed to finish reading them… Klein neither confirmed nor denied it. Instead, he changed the subject and said, “Begin hypnotizing me. Make me forget the matters related to the starry sky, and remember only the corresponding warning.”

“Wait a moment. There is something I would like to ask you.” Audrey made the request openly. Taking this opportunity, she spoke of what she had been doing recently, the difficulties she had encountered, and the confusion in her heart. “…Mr. World, do you have any advice? What should I do to prevent the citizens of Backlund from suffering too great a disaster before the war ends?”

As for stopping the war, although she very much wished to, she rationally knew that she did not have the ability.

At the same time, she understood that even Mr. World could not achieve it. Even if Mr. Fool personally intervened, at most He might reverse the situation, but He could not end the war outright, because this world war was, in essence, a battle between gods.

Klein hesitated for a few seconds before answering honestly, “Although the Audience pathway should act from behind the scenes as much as possible, and although when I act, I always keep words like ‘caution’ and ‘care’ in mind, doing my best not to put myself in dangerous situations…”

At that point, Justice Audrey instinctively answered in her heart:

From all the rumors at sea, from Forsi and the others’ descriptions, and from the demigod battle I witnessed, I cannot see “caution” or “care” at all. I see only strength and aggression… Still, being able to do those things and survive truly requires more…
