Mystery: Paradox Path

"Clap clap clap..."

As the last note fell, Audrey clapped gently and said in a somewhat envious tone:

"It's only been less than a month, and you're already playing better than me!"

"It's better for you to teach." Snow complimented politely, and then comforted, "Actually, it's mainly to take advantage of the ability of the sequence. After all, my sequence is very good at this kind of physical memory. Wait until you become a middle sequence. The strong will know that this learning ability is nothing."

"Speaking of this, what's so special about the hypnotist of Sequence Six?" Speaking of the middle sequence, Audrey remembered Snow's teasing words again, and looked at him with burning eyes.

"Well, you'll know when the time comes." Snow just smiled back at Audrey's doubts, which made Audrey puff out her cheeks in dissatisfaction—

"It's like what an elder said to a child, 'you'll understand when you grow up'."

"Don't talk about that." Snow didn't plan to fight Audrey in this regard. He put his hand behind him and somehow found a gift box about half the size of Susie's body.

Seeing this box, which was obviously used to hold gifts, Audrey's entanglement with the hypnotist disappeared immediately, replaced by curiosity about the contents of the box.

"No, wait a minute, with Mr. Demon's somewhat vile personality, shouldn't there be something scary in it? For example, the kind of toy called a fright box invented by Emperor Roselle?"

Thinking of this, Audrey immediately revealed a bit of suspicion in her eyes. When Snow saw this, he immediately waved his arms exaggeratedly, like an actor in a drama performance, and said in an exaggerated aria:

"Oh, my angel, your distrustful eyes really broke my heart! This is a gift I carefully prepared, and you doubt me!"

[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used on Android and Apple. 】

"Dear Mr. Demon, if you show off your exaggerated acting skills again, I'll throw rotten eggs at you!" Audrey used the warmest smile and a flat tone that seemed to have no emotions. The lines were quite terrifying. When Snow heard the words, he immediately showed a look of fear and said:

"Then don't bother Viscount Grelint."

As he said that, he handed the gift box to Audrey. After this round of verbal "confrontation", Audrey also realized that there should be no prank props in it, and asked with great interest:

"Can I open it?"

"Of course." Snow nodded lightly, and Audrey carefully pulled the ribbons on both sides, and opened the package without damaging the exquisite gift box.

How to gracefully open a gift is also a part of aristocratic education. She has to open a lot of gift boxes at her birthday banquet every year, and she already has the experience.

The exquisite gift box was quickly opened. When Audrey lifted the last box lid, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She carefully took out a quarter doll (a doll with a ratio of 1:4) from the box and looked at it with admiring eyes.

Long soft and textured golden hair, green eyes like jewels, a gorgeous and exquisite long dress decorated with ribbons and lace, with a hint of cuteness and playfulness in her pure beauty, her whole body exudes elegance. temperament.

"So cute! Which master's work is this?"

Audrey looked at this puppet that was somewhat similar to herself, and immediately remembered the commission that Mr. Devil had issued to Mr. The Hanged Man before, slightly suppressing the dissatisfaction that rose in her heart, and looked at Snow Road with curious eyes. :

"Is this your work, Mr. Demon? The kind of puppet used to absorb desire?"

"It's really my work, but I don't have the ability to collect desires. After all, in the style of Ruen, it seems that unmarried men are not suitable for gifts such as jewelry for single women, so I made a doll. Of course, if if you need

I can also add this function to her. Snow looked at Audrey with a smile, a gentle and pure smile, Audrey felt a little guilty when he saw him, and immediately turned his attention to the puppet, pretending to be calm:

"I am very satisfied with this gift!"

Just when she said this, she suddenly found that the corner of the puppet's mouth seemed to rise slightly.

This sudden change almost made Audrey throw the doll out. Fortunately, the calmness accumulated by playing the audience made her forcibly calm down. She looked at Snow angrily and said:

"Mr. Demon, it's not good to do this kind of prank!"

"No no no, this is not a prank, she just changes according to your mood." Snow shook his head with a smile, took two steps forward, and gently stroked the doll's head, his tone also became slightly a little serious-

"She can reflect the master's mental state to a certain extent. You have already had considerable contact with Psychological Alchemy. Even if my Beyonder ability can protect you from prying eyes, it is unavoidable that Beyonders of medium and high sequences will impose on you. Psychological suggestion, this doll can be used as a mirror to reflect your mental state, if you find something abnormal in her, immediately pray to Mister Fool."

"I'm the one who blamed you!" Audrey honestly admitted the mistake and quickly took the doll back into her arms. Although it was only a little resemblance, seeing Mr. Demon reaching out and stroking her head still made Audrey feel a little bit. strange.

...

At the moment when [My Child Is Not Me] was lifted, Annie finally realized that she had left the young lady aside for a long time. Fortunately, Audrey was in her field of vision, which made the "stupid maid" relax. She breathed a sigh of relief, but soon, she noticed that her young lady was carrying a gift box with no image!

"Miss, as a lady, you shouldn't take such a big thing by yourself!" Annie tried to cover her distraction with words, and while taking the gift box of some weight, she muttered a little guilty.

"This was given to me by a friend, um, I like it!" Audrey knew that most of the gifts she usually received would be piled up in the warehouse, and would not be found until she mentioned it, in order to avoid that cute doll Received the same treatment, she specially added.

When Annie heard the master's words, she immediately understood what she meant, nodded and said:

"I see, it will be delivered directly to the lady's room later, but who is the one who gave this gift? Are we going to give it back?"

Audrey just shook her head lightly, and Annie understood that this was something that could not be told to the family, just like the young lady leaving secretly and Viscount Grelint, so she didn't say much, just followed behind the young lady obediently, but didn't wait for them. When I went to say goodbye to Viscount Grelint, I saw that Mr. Viscount, who was usually a gentleman, suddenly ran over, panting slightly:

"Oh, my God, Audrey! Did that guy use that on me again? Damn it! Why is it so hard to buy pharmacist materials?"

Looking at Viscount Grelint's furious appearance, Audrey had the urge to make a face, but soon, she discovered that although Grelint seemed to be complaining, her eyes were always on her elbow. , skirt, etc.

Audrey, who has been an audience for so long, and who has observed many ladies who "disappeared" on the way to the banquets at major balls and banquets, immediately realized what Grelint was looking at, and her expression turned slightly dark. , said solemnly:

"Grillint, I'm really just teaching the piano!"
