Mystery: Lucky

"Queen of Mystery" Bernadette gently led the way:

"Then I can let him be corroded accordingly, but in this way, your marionette will basically be surrendered. You can still use it normally at first. As time goes by and the erosion deepens, he will gradually fall asleep. Never wake up again."

Klein paused slightly and turned to look at Alice.

Alice understood what he meant. She wanted to say directly that she could, but then she remembered the fact that the goddess might intervene, so she shook her head and said:

"I don't guarantee it. You'd better deal with it as you will lose your close partner."

No guarantee...? Klein glanced at Alice, but he was not familiar with the authority of angels. There was only one case like Alice around him that he could bring up anytime and anywhere. Although he felt something was wrong, he couldn't think of anything about it.

He held back his heartache and asked, "Can we extend the time for complete erosion as much as possible?"

"Blood Admiral" Senior, this marionette, is the most valuable among all his properties!

Bernadette said calmly: "Two months at most."

Klein struggled internally for two seconds and replied expressionlessly:

"OK."

He immediately pressed his hand on his chest and saluted: "Thank you for your help."

"Why don't you salute me like this?" Alice sat on a chair made of vines and asked.

Bernadette paused slightly. Klein was already used to it, and he immediately had the answer:

"Because I can't repay you for your great kindness to me. I can only repay you in the next life."

Alice was silent for two seconds, and Bernadette looked aside with a sincere look on her face and asked, "Do you think resurrection after death counts as the afterlife?"

Bernadette said nothing. She looked at Alice, then at Gehrman Sparrow, and began to feel unsure whether she should speak.

"...I don't think it can count." Klein chose to answer quickly.

"Why?" Alice asked reluctantly.

Klein glanced at Alice, shook his head and said:

"At least we should completely cut off contact with the previous life before we can call the next life, right?"

Alice lowered her head thoughtfully, and Klein turned to Bernadette and motioned for her to take the opportunity to start.

Bernadette retracted her gaze, stretched out her right hand, and drew out words in mid-air that were different from Giant, Dragon, Elf, and Ancient Hermes.

Those words had the brilliance of stars, intertwined into strange symbols, and seemed to open a secret door to the depths of the spiritual world.

The "secret door" opened, a gust of wind blew out, and his upper body turned into a man wrapped in white cloth.

"Sleeping horn." Bernadette said in a soft but majestic voice.

The man with upper body and lower body responded respectfully and took out a human skull from a piece of white cloth.

The eye sockets of this skull are deep and dark, and it is difficult to see the bottom. The rest of the skull has holes of different shapes one after another, with cracks nearby, and is as white as jade.

Bernadette took the "Sleeping Horn", glanced at Gehrman Sparrow and said:

"You step back at least 50 meters."

Klein didn't ask why, and backed away obediently. Bernadette looked at Alice, and while she was still hesitating, she had already jumped down to hide away, for fear that something would affect her.

After running away from the vine path with Klein, a long, quiet, sad and dark song came.

Alice looked up and saw Bernadette sitting under the cover of pea vines with her back slightly bent. Her chestnut hair moved slightly, her head lowered, and she put the "human skull" to her mouth, letting a The airflow blows out from each hole, interweaving into the music of the night.

The movement had a calming power and a touch of sadness, which spread little by little, but did not alert the soldiers guarding the bridge outside the Pea Vine Forest.

Alice suddenly remembered some rather distant memories, such as the ice cream stick that fell on the ground, the birthday cake and the birthday song.

"...I want to go home." She turned her head abruptly and said to Klein.

Klein didn't say anything. He sighed softly, then closed his eyes and listened to the music quietly.

Alice felt a sigh of relief in her heart, she pursed her lips, her eyes passed over Klein, and the previous question popped up in her mind.

...Does she come from the past earth civilization, or from another world?

If she comes from another world, maybe...she can really go back?

Alice suddenly longed for her original guess to be true - because she did not belong to this world, and because her fate was unpredictable, the "Key of Light" longed for her.

If I could go back... If I could leave something that belongs to this world here... Extraordinary characteristics... Origin... Uniqueness... Gram, Klein...

……No.

Alice suddenly hesitated for a moment. She glanced at Klein uncertainly, and another thought popped into her mind.

...Or, wait until he becomes a god before going back?

But in fact, even if I go back... can I really be an ordinary child now?

Alice pursed her lips, stopped thinking, closed her eyes with Klein, and listened intently.

When the melody finally disappeared, Alice opened her eyes and looked up. Bernadette was handing the "human skull" with holes in her hands to the "servant" who was upper body and lower body.

"Okay." Bernadette's soft and plain voice sounded.

"Thank you for your help." Klein saluted again and controlled "Resentful Soul" Senior to walk back to him.

Alice didn't speak this time. She watched quietly as the pea vines shrank upwards and gradually faded, and the green forest quickly disappeared.

They landed at the entrance of the bridge at the same time. There was no one around, except for a group of soldiers guarding the bridge with their backs to this side. It was no different from before.

Alice looked at Senior without blinking, observing the difference between him and before.

She soon discovered that Senior looked more like a dead person than before. His face was pale, his breath was cold, and he had an obvious sense of gloom.

Alice watched Klein put away Senior and asked him:

"Shall I take you back?"

Her voice was lower than usual, but Klein didn't think there was anything wrong. He thought it was due to the song, and sighed at Alice:

"Usually you seem to be the one comforting me at times like this."

Alice blinked, and Klein continued:

"Let me think about how you comforted me before?

"Well, right...

"After you restart, should I send you to school?"

"..." Alice instantly forgot her vague sadness and stared at Klein expressionlessly.

Klein asked hesitantly: "...Should I go back by myself?"

Alice rolled her eyes at him, then the good guy did her best and sent him home, then left without saying a word to him.    …

When Alice returned home, the room was brightly lit, and a gentle man wearing a monocle was sitting on the sofa, looking at her with a smile.

Alice hesitated for two seconds between running and waiting to die. After realizing that this was just a clone, she walked forward, sat opposite, and asked calmly:

"How's it going? Is the dish I recommended to you delicious?"

"Haha," Amon chuckled, "It's not rich enough."

Alice looked at Amon hesitantly and said somewhat sincerely:

"If you're referring to the Worm of Time, I don't think there's any dish in the world that's richer than your own."

"..." Amon pushed up his monocle, and the atmosphere became dangerous.

Alice's muscles tensed up and her hair stood up. She instinctively wanted to run, but she forced herself to stay where she was and smiled:

"I can apologize, really."

"I don't want it," Amon said in a willful tone, "I want you to come and play with me for a few days."

"?" Alice opened her eyes warily and jumped up on the spot.

Amon's expression did not change. He raised his head from where he was sitting. Alice sat down quietly with a smile, then stared at him and said:

"You're just a clone."

This should actually be a threat. Alice was afraid of the true form of Amon she saw in the "Land Abandoned by Gods". The clone in front of her was stronger than the most common Sequence 4, and could reach Sequence 3, but it was inferior to the true form. It was too far, so Alice wasn't actually that scared. If she really wanted to say she was scared, it was probably because she was afraid that the main body would suddenly come over or that she wouldn't be able to explain it the next time she saw the main body.

Amon nodded and said:

"I know, so this sentence is just the literal meaning.

"I'm really just here to invite you to play - I stole a manor."

"...Huh?" Alice looked at him confused.

Amon stretched out his hand, and Alice hesitated for two seconds to reach out. Within a few seconds, she appeared in the manor and saw a group of Amon.

Yes, a bunch of - there's a whole estate of servants here.

Now, Alice was really panicking.

…

Hazel Macht always went to the suburban manor on Saturday or Sunday to report on the week's experience. This week it was Sunday.

After comatose at the party that night, she woke up the next day. The family doctor probably didn't find anything wrong, and finally told her parents that she had been stressed out and tired recently.

Hazel had reservations about this.

Congressman Macht and his wife observed her for two days. After confirming that she was fine, they felt relieved and no longer restricted her going out.

So on Sunday, she arrived at the manor at eleven o'clock in the morning, got off the carriage, and a servant wearing a monocle led the horse, and another servant wearing a monocle came up to her.

A touch of uneasiness rose and disappeared from the bottom of her heart. Hazel walked inside and kept encountering servants wearing monocles who nodded to her, but his eyes did not fall on her face, but on her face with some interest. On her belly.

Doubts kept rising and disappearing, until she came outside Flora Jacob's room, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A familiar voice sounded from inside.

Hazel exhaled, pushed the door open, and shouted nervously:

"teacher……"

She subconsciously glanced at the mouse's right eye. When she discovered that the mouse was not wearing a monocle, she was inexplicably relieved and relaxed.

What happened next was as usual. The mouse listened to her talk about this week's progress, then looked at her belly and chuckled:

"I'm a little curious.

"Did you know she was pregnant?"

"What...?" Hazel looked up in confusion.

This didn't seem to be meant for her, and in fact it was true. In her eyes, the mouse just now turned into a man wearing a monocle, a wide forehead, and a black trench coat. He looked aside with a joking smile, Hazel followed his line of sight and saw an acquaintance.

"It's you!" Her pupils tightened and her body tensed.

"This is not the attitude of asking for help... Little Alice," the man on the sofa pushed his monocle and smiled at the girl next to him, "Besides, you should have said it clearly - the strength of the clone is not enough to help you deal with Him, it is only enough to alert the enemy."

Alice, who was caught to play cards with Amon for two days, ignored Him and turned to look at Hazel's abdomen, her eyes slightly sank:

"... What if, you are very lucky?"

"Hmm?" Amon raised his eyebrows slightly.

Alice turned her head and pursed her lips and said:

"I know what you want from me... In fact, this is exactly what I need."

Amon narrowed his eyes and stared at her. Alice took a deep breath, glanced at Hazel, and lowered her eyes to think.

Will Auceptin's condition was as bad as she expected. He who "restarted" in a hurry and dropped a lot of mythical creature blood has not yet completed this process completely - in easy-to-understand words, Hazel's pregnancy is not stable, even if she does nothing to protect it carefully, it may miscarry at any time.

Besides, Hazel went to the sewer every night.

Such a Will couldn't even stay awake for a long time, but this was not the point, because Amon's cover-up was not thorough. To be precise, after Hazel, who was pregnant with Will Auceptin, stepped into the manor, Amon immediately sealed the manor with great force.

——He even used the power of authority.

This certainly woke up Will Auceptin in Hazel's belly, but Will Auceptin had not made any move until now. Alice guessed that He must be looking for an opportunity, and it seemed that he didn't want to waste energy on arguing with them.

But no matter what Will Auceptin was planning, Alice knew that she must not let him go today, and the culprit of all this...

She looked up at Amon and said without any emotion: "I had other ways to deal with Him, but you alarmed Him."

"...Very good," Amon laughed, "As a reward and compensation, I have to help you solve this trouble, right?"

Alice didn't say anything, her expression showed her attitude, but Amon didn't seem to be willing, and He planned to bargain again:

"...Little Alice.

"I don't believe that you didn't mean to mention Flora Jacob's student in the letter?

"Also, you know why you sent me the news about Flora Jacob."

"But I didn't ask you to do that," Alice answered clearly, "In the final analysis, it's you who's to blame..."

Before she finished her words, Amon raised his hand to interrupt her, smiled and looked at Hazel beside her, or to be more precise, at Hazel's belly, and said leisurely:

"How about this.

"How about you also put forward your own conditions, and I will consider standing by your side?" (End of this chapter)
