Mystery: Lucky

Broken... Klein stiffened, and then he remembered that he did not give the letter and mushrooms from Frank to Alice.

Alice looked at Klein in confusion, not understanding why her question made him react so strongly, and asked in confusion:

"Can't you tell me? Is that something invisible?"

She blinked and remembered the painting that she was unwilling to show Klein at first.

...It shouldn’t be the invisible person from this direction, right?

"No, it's not..." Klein said after careful consideration, "This is the research result sent by Frank. I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"Frank?" Alice was slightly startled, "Mushroom? Oh..."

When Alice mentioned Frank, she remembered her experience while still on the "Future". Her expression was distorted for a moment, and then she said hurriedly:

"You don't have to tell me!"

Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

He summoned "Creeping Hunger" from the pile of debris and said to Alice:

"Okay... let me tell you about its changes."

Alice pretended to be listening carefully.

Alice had forgotten about the new functions added to "Creeping Hunger". She knew that Klein would also replace the abilities inside, so she only focused on the side effects.

"So, it will eat one person every day now?" Alice reached out and took the gloves over, "And it will also praise the 'True Creator'..."

The black gloves were as quiet as death in Alice's hands. Alice turned them around several times but didn't see any reaction from the gloves. She reached out and pulled them, and the gloves retracted into place after she let go.

"Alive?" Alice got excited and pulled again.

Klein couldn't stand it anymore and asked Alice, "So, do you have a way to seal it?"

Alice stopped, looked at the gloves in her hand, thought for a while and said:

"uncertain.

"I can deal with it having to eat a person every day, but, praise the True Creator for that...

"Random praise, I'm afraid I don't have a good idea."

After a pause, she added: "Well... you know, because my sealing method is to trap it with a small cycle of fate."

Klein hesitated and asked: "...can't it be so small that it doesn't have time to praise it?"

"Yes, yes, but..." Alice frowned.

If she carries it close to her body, she can replenish the power of the seal at any time. However, if it is not carried close to her body, the seal will have a time limit due to various reasons such as materials and spirituality.

She needs materials with a high enough level and the path of "destiny"...

Alice's eyes suddenly lit up. She jumped up from her seat and rushed to the pile of debris next to her before Klein could stop her.

"What are you doing?" Klein had a question mark on his face, "What do you want and you just say no to me?"

Alice, who had already reached out and started turning, was silent for a moment, then continued to turn as if she hadn't heard anything.

She found the "water pipe" in the middle, opened it, and separated a drop of silver blood from it.

This was Will Asceptin's umbilical cord blood.

Alice closed the "water pipe" again, put the drop of silver blood in her palm, and handed it to Klein:

"look!"

Klein obediently lowered his head to look, and then asked: "...What are you looking at?"

Alice made a move, never admitting that this was her mistake, and explained confidently:

“This is Will Asceptin’s blood!

"With it, I can try to seal your glove!"

In the end, Alice did not help Klein seal his gloves. She just agreed to help Klein at night. As for now...

She planned to go to church and watch the fun.

When Alice appeared in St. Samuel's Church, she was surprised to find that Anthony was not in the office.

This was undoubtedly a strange thing. Alice opened the door and walked out of Anthony's office. It was not that there was no one outside. There had to be people on duty, not to mention there were civilian staff, but the number was undoubtedly very few.

"Where is Archbishop Anthony? Is there anyone else?" She thought for a moment and asked the civilian on duty.

This civilian employee had met Alice many times, and he answered decisively:

"Inside Chanis Gate."

Um, Chanisgate? It seemed normal... Thinking of Klein entering Chanis Gate, Alice shook her head, turned around and walked in the direction of Chanis Gate.

She knew where the Chanis Gate was. The layout of the cathedrals of the Church of the Night was basically the same. As a former "Nighthawk", she had rich experience.

When she walked to the end of the road, she saw a "red glove" standing at the door. The other person was slightly startled when he saw her, and then saluted:

"Your Majesty St. Alice."

Alice was silent for two seconds, nodded, and walked inside.

Although it was the first time she was called that, after being called "Great Miss Destiny" by both Klein and Audrey in front of her face, Alice's mental endurance improved a lot. She was a little embarrassed, but at least she kept her expression calm.

The "Red Glove" on duty did not stop her, so Alice walked inside. There were many more people inside, and most of them were frequently heading towards the stairs.

This is the first time Alice has stepped inside the Chanis Gate. She has never even entered the guard room - after all, others can access items.

Alice looked around curiously, and after finding that there was nothing interesting to see, she started looking for familiar faces in the crowd.

Most people were frequently walking around the stairs, and Alice recognized Daley Simone and Leonard Mitchell, as well as the familiar "Red Gloves" captain Sost and the unknown "Nighthawk" "team leader.

Some of the others looked familiar, but Alice didn't know their names.

Regardless of whether they were acquaintances or strangers, they didn't pay much attention to Alice when they saw her. They greeted her in a hurry and started walking around, coming and going in a hurry.

Alice thought for a while, then walked towards the crowded stairs, and saw Archbishop Anthony standing inside.

"Archbishop Anthony!" she shouted and ran over quickly, but stopped when Anthony moved his eyes to her.

As the spokesperson of the Church of the Night in the capital of the kingdom, Saint Anthony's clean and beardless face showed no obvious emotions at this time. His deep and dark eyes were also unconcerned, but there was a fear that penetrated into his soul and spread from him. Come on.

It didn't hurt anything, and Alice had ways to resist, but it really made her uncomfortable. She frowned and stayed some distance away from Anthony.

"Archbishop Anthony," she called again.

Anthony nodded at her, and a "red glove" came over and said:

"Your Excellency the Archbishop, after counting, all the occult materials have not been lost, including various potion main materials and extraordinary properties..." Alice blinked, realizing that they were still counting.

Anthony nodded, then turned to Alice and said:

"Someone has invaded Chanis Gate."

Alice showed a surprised expression in response. Before she could speak, a second person came forward:

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, all the potion formulas are in their original locations. It is initially confirmed that no one has turned them over in the past eight hours..."

Alice gave up talking and decided to find a place to stand for a while that was out of the way.

This was actually a bit difficult here. Alice thought for a moment and chose to stand close to the wall of the stairs.

Anthony glanced at Alice after the second person left, and after realizing that she had found a position suitable for him, he asked her:

"I'll explain it to you later?"

Alice wanted to say okay, but a third person came forward again:

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, all the prisoners detained on the first floor are here. No one has escaped, no one has died..."

Alice exhaled, gave up communicating, and turned her head to face the wall.

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, all kinds of materials and books have not been confiscated, nor have they been moved at all..."

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, all the 'Level 3' sealed objects here are here, and none of them have been taken away..."

"Your Excellency, the Archbishop, the three '1' level sealed objects are still in a sealed state, with no trace of leaving their respective areas..."

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, the core of the seal is still intact and has not been damaged at all..."

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, it has been confirmed that there is not a single thing here, and there are no dangerous arrangements left..."

"Your Excellency, the Archbishop, the enemy who infiltrated disguised as an internal guard was not found. He seemed to have evaporated directly..."

"Your Excellency the Archbishop..."

The fourth, fifth, and sixth deacons from the Church of the Night came to report their inspection results to Anthony. Alice listened to the whole process. After the last person finished reporting, everyone gathered here. After that, she finally couldn't help but turned around and said:

"Isn't that nothing unusual?"

Klein, your purpose is too obvious... But, you didn't steal that notebook?

Alice grumbled in her mind as she moved closer to Anthony past the others.

No one blocked her approach. Anthony glanced at her, nodded and said:

"……yes.

"Nothing unusual at all."

The "Nighthawks" and "Red Gloves" present were silent. They could not imagine that a cunning and powerful Extraordinary took extremely high risks. After careful planning and exhausting various methods, he finally entered the Chanis Gate. But he didn’t take anything, just walked around and left!

This makes it look like the other party is simply trying to prove their ability, or specifically helping the church find loopholes in the Chanis Gate guarding process.

No, wait...

Deacon Sost, who led a red-gloved team, forced himself to look away from the rumored eccentric Miss Destiny and tried to make other guesses:

"Your Majesty the Archbishop, is this a requirement for a certain promotion ceremony?"

Just as Saint Anthony was about to speak, another "Nighthawk" deacon, Daly Simone, raised a second possibility:

"Perhaps the infiltrator was affected by the negative effect world when he tried to take away a certain sealed object, died on the spot, and was devoured?"

Anthony nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll go to the third floor to take a look first."

After saying that, he walked steadily deep into the second floor underground and opened the path to the third floor at a secret location. Alice followed him without noticing anything.

Anthony paused and turned to look at Alice. Alice had already raised her hands in a gesture of swearing with great experience and promised:

"I won't mess around!

"I'm just curious and want to follow and have a look!"

Anthony was silent for two seconds, nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the door.

The other deacons had no authority because they were not at a high level, so they could only wait where they were.

Alice followed Anthony and soon arrived at the small third floor. Alice glanced around and saw a coffin. Note①

Anthony picked up a pair of glasses and put them on his face. Alice looked over in confusion and found that he was wearing the glasses to observe the coffin.

"......?"

Alice blinked in confusion. She noticed that Anthony did not stay where he was, but let a layer of night cover his body, and then moved forward.

Under Alice's gaze, Anthony approached cautiously, opened the coffin, and retreated back suddenly as if he had a seizure, quickly pulling away.

"......?"

Alice's expression became more confused.

She looked into the coffin and was surprised to find that there was an acquaintance inside. The person was wearing a black classical robe with a hood, had long black hair, and a beautiful face. It was exactly the appearance of Klein in the gray fog.

Goddess!!!

Alice opened her eyes wide and realized that this was the angel Klein saw, the vessel of the goddess's descent.

Her body reacted faster than her brain. Before Anthony could react, she rushed up and pinched the face of the angel in the coffin with her hand.

The half-opened angel opened her eyes completely, revealing a pair of pure black eyes. The night spread from her body, covering Alice's hand, and Alice's palm was wiped away without any resistance.

Anthony was frozen in place at this moment, and Alice was so scared that she immediately withdrew her hand. The good news was that the angel's eyes closed again.

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, and realized that the intimidating power disappeared, and silently restored her hand.

"You..." Anthony looked at her and wanted to say something, but Alice stretched out her hand and made a "hush" gesture.

After hesitating for a second, Anthony chose to shut up.

Alice turned her head and closed the coffin, and obediently retreated behind Anthony. Anthony glanced at her without saying a word, took off his glasses and put them back in place, and restored the surrounding situation.

Then, he turned his head to look at Alice, without saying a word.

The terrifying aura spread from him again. This time, Alice was closer and felt it more clearly. She shrank her head and lowered her head and said:

"...This is a matter between me and the goddess!"

Anthony frowned, looked at the coffin reflexively, opened his mouth, closed it again, took a deep breath and said:

"Let's go."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the stairs. Alice shrank her neck and followed him with her head lowered.

Behind Anthony, she whispered: "Is it because it's not the original body? Or the human form? There is no hair..." (End of this chapter)
