Mystery: Lucky

As one of the works of the famous painter Leonardo da Vinci, Alice certainly knew this painting.

The painting represented by "The Hanged Man" is actually not the same thing as "The Last Supper". This scene is obviously three angel kings, three of the current Seven Gods, eating the Creator of the Silver City.

The members of the Tarot Society who had already heard the story of the King of Angels eating the Creator from Alice had also somewhat recognized the content of the painting. Only Cattleya the Hermit blurted out:

"Kings of Angels?!"

Alice then remembered the forgotten "hermit" lady. To be fair, she turned to the "hermit" Cattleya and told her the story again:

"In the long past, there were three angel kings who betrayed their Lord, took advantage of the death of their Creator, and became true gods.

"The painting you see now should be what was painted at that time."

"Hermit" Cattleya's body trembled. She looked at the painting and distinguished the "Lord of Storms", "Eternal Blazing Sun" and "God of Knowledge and Wisdom" in it, and murmured:

"Is this...the truth that the three gods were born from the spirit of the Creator?"

There was silence, no one responded to her.

——This is the second time I heard this story, and no one can mention it in a joking manner like Alice.

No one had the courage to discuss how the gods ascended to the throne, or to speculate on the truth or falsehood of the stories in the holy scriptures. Everyone stayed in the huge shock, except for "Moon" Emlyn's thoughts:

Damn it...how on earth did I dare to talk to her like that?

No, it’s Him, yes, it’s Him!

Looking at Alice's calm expression, Emlyn wished he could go back in time and give himself a slap in the face.

In the silence, Derrick "The Sun" asked Alice:

"Miss Destiny, that baby is..."

"The True Creator," she replied without hesitation, "is also your former Creator, but He is crazy now..."

After a pause for a few seconds, she added:

"I don't know the specific relationship between them, but the 'True Creator' should only be a part of your Creator - He is crazy after all."

"Sun" Derrick nodded silently and said nothing.

No wonder Mr. Fool called the "True Creator" the "Fallen Creator"... After listening to Alice's words, "Justice" Audrey remembered this incident inexplicably.

There was silence again. Alger, the "Hanged Man", disappeared from the scene in silence and asked:

"Have you investigated the former chief's tomb?"

Derrick "The Sun" finally came back to his senses, and he responded with some shame:

"No, I have been assigned patrol duties constantly during this period, and I never have time to investigate."

Alger was not surprised by this, but was surprised by another thing:

"Why don't you ask a friend with whom you have a certain relationship to help?

"You can not tell them the real purpose, break the whole thing into small, unnoticed tasks, and let them collect different aspects of intelligence respectively. This way, nothing will be exposed, and it will not put them in danger. situation.”

Alice felt that she had learned something new.

Isn't this...an assembly line? Oh no, I can’t say that. After all, inquiring about information and tasks usually requires the use of brains...

"Sun" Derrick said at this moment: "I have no friends."

Alice was surprised when she heard this. She frowned and asked based on her knowledge of Silver City:

"I remember that the number of you is not particularly large. The number of people of the same generation will only be smaller. It should be inevitable that you will encounter each other, right?

"How come you don't have a single friend after all these years?"

After listening to Alice's question, Derrick "The Sun" lowered his head and explained:

"After my parents passed away, I didn't talk to others very much for a long time, and later on, I joined the Tarot Society..."

He didn't say any more, but Alice had probably figured it out. She suddenly remembered the cases she had seen of people who became addicted to the Internet after experiencing major blows. Then she looked at Derrick and taught him in a sincere tone, imitating the words in her memory:

"Little Sun, you can't do this.

"Young people cannot get back up because of a small blow. They stay at home every day and chat with people they don't know.

"What should you do if you are cheated? Real life is the basis of everything. You have to make more friends!"

"Okay, okay!" Derrick responded in a panic.

Pfft...Klein, who heard the source of these words, tried to suppress his laughter to prevent others from seeing the flaw.

"Justice" Audrey glanced at Alice and then at Derrick. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it.

"The Hanged Man" Alger said nonchalantly:

“It’s not good for you to be like this.

"You cannot save Silver City by yourself. You must unite a group of people and have some friends who can help you at critical moments."

"But, this will make them suspicious..." Derrick said hesitantly.

Alger immediately said seriously:

“It’s better to be suspected than to be killed.

“Silver City is at a dangerous crossroads, you must think carefully about what needs to be done.

"It is impossible that there will be no sacrifices in this kind of thing, and there will even be a lot of sacrifices. Do you want their sacrifices to be useless, or to be very valuable?"

I hope the person who is sacrificed is someone who has nothing to do with me... Alice muttered something in her heart, but didn't say anything.

"The Hanged Man" Alger didn't speak again, leaving "The Sun" Derrick to continue struggling alone. "The World" Gehrman Sparrow took the opportunity to ask "Justice" Audrey:

“Can you treat more severe mental illness now?

"Justice" Audrey perked up and replied eagerly:

"Okay, no problem.

"Mr. World, do you have any friends who need treatment?"

I am short of cases! She thought slightly excitedly.

Although she knew that Miss Justice was not actually gloating about her misfortune, Alice still looked at her unhappily and said dissatisfiedly: "He needs treatment."

Audrey was slightly startled.

"The World" sighed and said with a low smile: "It is true that I need treatment."

The entire grand palace suddenly became extremely quiet.

"The Hanged Man" Alger, "The Hermit" Cattleya, and "The Magician" Forsi all knew that Mr. "World" was a crazy adventurer, but they never thought that he had developed a serious mental illness. Almost going crazy!

Is this the price of power? Forsi shuddered and became more and more afraid of Gehrman Sparrow.

Crazy adventurers can still communicate and reason, but there is really nothing the lunatic can do!

The "Heart Nightmare Candle" didn't completely cure his mental illness? Is it already serious? The expected "Moon" Emlyn only felt that "the world" might go crazy at any time.

Derrick the Sun didn't think so much, he just simply cared about Mr. World. He wanted to say that there was a "psychoanalyst" in Silver City who could provide treatment, but then he thought that this would expose too many problems, so he had to shut it up forcibly. Mouth, looking expectantly at Miss Justice.

Miss Destiny really cares about Mr. "World"... However, Mr. "World" seems... "Justice" Audrey was surprised, stunned and confused. She considered it and said:

"Mr. World, according to my observation, you do not have a serious mental illness.

"If you are just a little anxious or have a lot of stress, you can ease and recover through self-regulation and correct relaxation at the current stage, and no direct treatment is required."

"The World" Gehrman Sparrow chuckled again:

“You didn’t notice it because the previous mental illness has been cured.

"I am just making an appointment now. If similar signs appear again in the future, I hope to get timely treatment."

Why does this sound so like you're cursing yourself... Alice looked at Klein hesitantly, and finally said nothing.

"That's right..." "Justice" Audrey nodded in relief.

After thinking for a few seconds, Audrey said sincerely: "If you are in the garden where I can move, then there is no problem."

"Okay." Klein, who was herding Traveler, breathed a sigh of relief and let "The World" answer. "When the time comes, you will determine the location and prepare a way not to reveal your identity."

"Justice" Audrey said "hmm", and a scene naturally appeared in her mind:

She and Mr. "World" were in two private rooms in certain places, talking and receiving treatment through a wall or wooden board.

No, wait, with Miss Destiny here, this kind of hiding seems completely unnecessary...

Audrey suddenly realized this and started thinking hard.

At this time, "The World" Gehrman Sparrow reminded again:

"You try not to think about that mural before, let alone paint it in reality."

"Justice" Audrey and other members subconsciously glanced at the top of the long bronze table and found that Mr. Fool did not deny this statement. They were all awe-inspiring and did not dare to be careless.

This also made "Hermit" Cattleya temporarily shelve the idea of ​​writing to "Queen of Mysteries" Bernadette about this matter, and planned to meet and then consider whether there was a suitable way to avoid the impact.

This statement seemed familiar. Alice frowned and looked at "The World", who shook her head and said:

"It's not certain that it's Him, but there should be some connection."

He...?

The members of the Tarot Society looked at each other, wondering who the "him" in their words was referring to.

It may not be Adam, but at least he is also a member of the "Twilight Hermits"... Alice suddenly had the answer in her mind. She thought of the potion auxiliary materials that she had no clue about, and suddenly an idea flashed:

"...Tell me about that island later."

The tone was serious, and it didn't sound like he wanted to hear a story. Klein realized that she really needed something, and controlled "The World" to nod.

The communication session of the Tarot Club has almost come to an end. After a brief chat, Klein announced the end of the Tarot Club.

Only Alice and Klein were left above the gray mist. Before Klein could speak, Alice extended her hand unceremoniously:

"The 'Tyrant' card!"

Klein glanced at her silently, then without saying anything, handed her the "Tyrant" card.

Alice saw Russell above at a glance. She turned over without thinking and looked back from sequence 9 one by one.

The "Tyrant" card is no different from the other two "blasphemous cards" Alice has seen. It is nothing more than a portrait of Russell, the name of the potion, the potion formula and a rough sequence description. The only slightly bizarre thing is the ceremony of becoming a god.

"Have hundreds of thousands of followers who obey and believe out of fear, challenge a true god alone and survive, take magic potion in an atmosphere of fear and obedience..." Alice read out word by word The content of this ritual, "...is this the real 'provocateur' path, right?"

Klein put his hand on his forehead and tried to persuade Alice:

"I think the core of this ritual should be a lot of fear and obedience, not provocation..."

Alice raised her hand to stop him from continuing, and then asked:

"Then tell me what is the core of the 'Destiny' path to becoming a god ritual."

"..." Klein suddenly choked.

In fact, if you really want to pull it out, you may not be able to pull out the core of the "Destiny" pathway's god-making ceremony, but it seems to be of no use to the "Destiny" pathway, because Klein can't think of a way to be lazy on this matter.

... Could it be that you are really looking for a high-ranking being to choose you?

But fate...who can represent fate better than the "Wheel of Fortune"?

And listening to what Alice said about the "winner" ceremony, people who do this will not end well...

Random thoughts flashed through Klein's mind. Before he had time to think deeply, he heard Alice slamming the table and calling him:

"Where's Russell's diary?"

Klein subconsciously sent the diary over and watched Alice quickly lower her head to flip through the diary. Inexplicably, she had the illusion that she was really working as a nanny.

Alice didn't know what Klein was thinking. She learned the names of several noble ladies and ladies of Intis in the diary, and judged that there was a page in which Emperor Russell wrote "The taste of a witch is really good." Not bad." The previous diary - because it expressed the emperor's yearning for the witch after hearing the rumors.

Alice silently turned over the few useful parts, and then exhaled.

"Spiritual Stitch Monster..." she muttered, "Taking a potion that is similar to one's own spiritual body can effectively reduce the difficulty of promotion, but it will also be affected by the mental imprint left in it, causing split personality and so on unknowingly. The situation gradually evolved into a spiritual suture monster, just like the original high-sequence strongman was resurrected in him..."

This is the content of the original text in Russell's diary. Alice almost repeated this passage, then looked at Klein, tilted her head, and asked slightly confused:

"Tell me, why don't I have a split personality?"

Before Klein could answer, she found the answer herself:

"No... maybe, I have been in this situation earlier." (End of Chapter)
