Mystery: Lucky

Alice has always been clear about one thing.

She has never accepted two past selves at any time, even if she said so when talking to others, but in her own mind, Shen Yinghuan is one person, the one with the goddess is one person, and the one with Will Auceptin is one person...

She has never regarded any of them as herself.

But now in front of Klein, Alice doesn't want to be affected by the matter that has basically become a foregone conclusion. She urgently mentioned another thing to Klein:

"By the way, you said that the island disappeared, what happened?"

Well, she is not willing to say it yet... Klein glanced at Alice. He was already familiar with Alice's way of changing the subject. The problem now was that he was not sure whether he should pick up Alice's topic or hold on to the original question.

... I wonder if Miss Justice is good at this aspect?

Klein sighed in his heart, and then said to Alice:

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. As for other things... I think we should talk about it later?"

"You are not spiritual enough again?" Alice asked subconsciously.

"No," Klein denied. "It sounds like you can't solve Will Auceptin's problem for a while, so as a courtesy, I should go visit the two ladies who were injured at my party."

Alice was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Dwayne Dantes' image was different from hers - this image had social needs.

Alice couldn't help but worry. She was still not sure how Will Auceptin would view Klein, because Klein hadn't met Will Auceptin for a long time - at least not since she got the probability dice back.

"I think," Klein comforted her as if he knew what she was worried about, "if He intends to attack me, there is no difference between being on the same street and in the same room."

This...

Alice lowered her head and thought.

"So you don't have to worry so much," Klein continued, "If I were Him, I would only show weakness now, then conserve my energy, and bite the enemy by surprise in the end..."

"..."Alice secretly remembered this possibility.

However, it seems unlikely that Will will do anything to Klein. After all, Klein is related to more than just me... It is better to say that the only thing He can do is to pull Klein away from me. He does not have to stand on His side, but at least he should be able to help save His life!

... Why doesn't He think about supporting a new Lord of Mysteries?

You can't just give up now... He has been an angel for so many years.

Alice shook her head with disdain, then felt relieved and patted Klein on the shoulder and said:

"Although what you said may not be right, I don't think I need to worry about your safety...

"After all, you should live to become a fool first!"

"... Thank you?" Klein looked at Alice hesitantly.

"You're welcome. "Alice waved her hand generously.

...

After giving the drop of mythical creature's blood to "Hermit" Cattleya, Alice left the gray fog.

It was not until the evening that Alice, who was squatting in Klein's bedroom, saw the respected Mr. Fool again.

Klein was no longer surprised by the fact that there was someone in the bedroom. Although he was worried in his spare time that the news that Dwayne Dantès had an underage girl hidden in his bedroom would grow wings and fly all over Backlund, he also knew that he could not stop Alice at all.

It would be better to say that if he was lucky enough to stop her, Alice would visit him through the main door at random times every day, and things would become more troublesome.

He dispelled those dangerous ideas in his mind, and after confirming that the door was closed again, he approached Alice.

"Let me tell you about the situation on that primitive island first. "He said so.

This was one of the questions Alice was concerned about, so she nodded and listened carefully to what Klein said about what happened at that time.

Klein did not tell her full experience in detail. He only focused on the part about the burial hall, including speculation about the architectural style and what he saw and heard inside. He also used the "magician" ability to create illusions to show Alice some murals. Note ①

Alice listened with great interest until the sigh ended, and then she asked thoughtfully:

"... So, it is an imaginary, non-existent island?"

"I don't think so, or at least not completely," Klein replied, "Don't forget, according to the situation in "Grosel's Travels", if it is an imaginary island, there should be no extraordinary characteristics. "

But what I need is not extraordinary characteristics, I need auxiliary materials... Alice refuted in her heart, and then touched her chin and asked:

"Anyway... do you think Adam can make dreams come true? "

Alice did not shy away from mentioning Adam's name, because she felt that they could not avoid being watched.

Klein was surprised by this for a moment, but he quickly understood Alice's thinking. Although he did not agree, it was undeniable that they were indeed powerless to stop it now, so he just replied:

"I don't know... why are you doing this?"

"Do you still remember the auxiliary materials for my 'Chaos Walker' potion?" Alice sighed, "I found a suitable prophecy. Arrods said it was related to the form of the prophecy. Unfortunately, it was a dream."

That was a dream... Klein frowned and asked her:

"Which dream?"

So Alice started talking about the black tower and the giant white snake on the top of the dream again. After listening to her description of the dream and several speculations about the dream, Klein couldn't help but remind her:

"However, it's not that this prophecy has not come true, but... it just hasn't come yet!"

Alice paused.

She was actually vaguely aware of this matter. She knew that this was actually a far-fetched prophecy, because she probably couldn't really break this prophecy now.

"But that's what I want to use," Alice replied. "It's impossible for fate to prevent me from being promoted to Sequence 3, but if I succeed in my promotion, this is a suitable prophecy. In other words, this prophecy has failed!"

With a brilliant idea, Klein suddenly understood why Alice said this was a suitable prophecy. He realized that what Alice ignored was actually another issue:

"But we all know...

"Auxiliary materials do not really determine the success or failure of promotion. They are just the icing on the cake. With a complete ceremony, just taking extraordinary characteristics may not necessarily prevent promotion."

Alice froze on the spot.

"Are you going to continue to do this?" Klein reached out and touched her head and asked her.

Alice shook her head, closed her eyes and replied:

"Let's talk about it... Anyway, I haven't finished digesting the potion yet.

"Let's talk about you first - why do you want to see Bernadette?"

Regarding this point, Klein is not as forgetful as Alice. He has not forgotten his own needs. After Alice asked, he quickly replied:

"The internal guardians of the church have been eroded by the power of the seal core behind the Chanis Gate, and their status is different from that of ordinary Beyonders. "I asked Arrods, the only way to achieve a perfect disguise is to sacrifice the secret puppet and let it Accept the erosion of the core power of the seal, gradually change the state to be consistent with those internal guardians, and then accommodate it in the body to deceive the core of the seal.

"Arrodes told me that Bernadette can do this and that I need her help."

"No wonder..." Alice nodded, "I will write to her."

After a pause, she couldn't help but ask:

"Seriously, why don't you just ask the goddess for the potion formula?"

Klein opened his mouth to answer: "I don't want to..."

This answer was quickly interrupted by Alice, who curled her lips and said:

"Okay, okay, I know what you're going to say, it's just the same thing...

"You two are just like the mouthless heroes and heroines in some novels!"

Klein began to look at Alice with a horrified look. He couldn't help but look sideways at the window. The moonlight fell quietly on the ground, and nothing unusual was seen.

"Don't worry," Alice noticed his uneasiness and patted him comfortingly, "If the goddess is watching, I won't be able to say such things and they will be kept secret."

...That would be even worse, what if He settles the score afterwards and hides us together!

Klein took a breath of air, not daring to express his inner slander no matter what, so he just gritted his teeth and said:

"Next time you want to say something like this, say it inside that thing you call Source Castle, okay?"

Alice lowered her head silently.

If I can really become a true god and be promoted to a fool, then the first thing I will do is to beat her...

Klein gritted his teeth and asked Alice with a smile:

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Stay away from Hazel," Alice reminded, "not because of Will Auceptin, but because I want to see if Amon can steal this child."

"?" Klein looked at her with a puzzled look, "Are you sure Hazel will still be alive by then?"

"I haven't thought about it," Alice replied honestly, "but if you mentioned it... I guess Amon won't think of this issue then."

This... Klein was slightly startled. He frowned and looked at Alice. He wanted to say something, but Alice spoke in anticipation:

"I would try to keep her alive, but I'm not sure - rather, I haven't been sure about her life since she got involved between Will Asceptin and me.

"Ellen and Velma were lucky to survive. She... I can't guarantee it until the end."

Klein understood what Alice meant. He didn't ask Alice to promise anything, but just mentioned another thing:

"But she got involved because of you."

Alice frowned and reminded again:

"Even without me, she would have been involved in something dangerous for other reasons - that's fate.

"And even if it's not her, someone else will be in danger because of this."

Klein frowned. He wanted to tell Alice that she couldn't use things that hadn't happened yet as an argument, but he gave up before he could speak because he realized that the problem wasn't there at all.

In fact, she still doesn't take ordinary people seriously... Klein sighed and thought of the idea of ​​making Alice a secret partner again.

It would be nice if the secret couple could be self-aware... Then I wouldn't have to worry about the day when we really have to be on opposite sides.

Thinking of this possible outcome, Klein couldn't help but get a headache. He rubbed his brows, looked at Alice, and suddenly felt a lack of words.

Alice pursed her lower lip. She knew what Klein wanted to say, but she couldn't do anything about it. She lowered her eyes and said:

"Klein.

"When I met the captain, he called me Your Excellency."

Klein opened his mouth and was speechless.

He understood what Alice wanted to express. Of course Alice didn't care about the life and death of mortals from that time. She just pointed out a clear fact - she and mortals were no longer the same existence.

"What about me?" He suddenly asked, "If one day, I am the one who is involved..."

"...You have been involved." Alice lowered her head and suddenly said something.

Klein was stunned for a moment. Alice raised her head in the silence and said to him in a choked tone:

"You have been involved a long time ago, do you think that all this has nothing to do with you?

"Klein, you still don't think it's just a coincidence that you became a 'divineer' and called yourself a fool above the gray fog, right?"

Not counting those fake cries, this was the second time Alice cried with real emotion in front of Klein. Klein realized that he might have said the wrong thing and wanted to do something, but Alice had already lowered her head and put her knees on her knees. He bent up and curled up into a ball.

In the silent room, Klein heard the spherical creature in front of him make intermittent, sobbing sounds:

"I, I don't want, I don't want you to die...

"But I, you, and others earlier, we will all die. As long as we go on this road, all of us will die...

"It was decided from the beginning, and it can't be changed at all..."

……broken.

Although Alice's messy words seemed to reveal a lot of information, Klein couldn't think about it carefully. On the one hand, it was too messy, and on the other hand...

"You know," he said, keeping his voice as calm as possible, "I'm not very good at comforting people, especially little girls your age... I mean, do you need me to call someone to stay with you? Or do you? Said you needed a handkerchief or something?”

After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Or, should I have someone deliver an ice cream?"

After he finished speaking, Klein saw the group of figures in front of him move, and then a dull nasal voice came from inside:

"I want five balls..."

Klein suddenly had the urge to laugh. (End of chapter)
