Mystery: Lucky

"?" Anthony couldn't help but look back at Alice. He felt as if he had heard some extremely blasphemous remarks - as evidenced by the night air.

Alice stopped, put her hand over her mouth and stood there.

Anthony stood stiffly on the spot. At this moment, he regretted extremely that he had not stopped Alice who wanted to come down with him, although he did not think he could stop her.

Fortunately, covering her mouth was useful, and the night dissipated in silence. Alice breathed a sigh of relief, put down her hand, and looked around carefully before saying to Anthony:

"Let's go."

This is not something I can interfere with... Anthony opened his mouth, gave up warning her, turned around and left.

Returning to the upper level, Anthony said to the others somewhat vaguely: "The infiltrator may indeed have died due to contact with the sealed object."

After mentioning this matter vaguely, he gave no explanation and instead gave instructions:

"No matter what, this matter must be investigated clearly, the infiltrator may have an accomplice!

"Being able to sneak into St. Samuel's Church without causing any disturbance shows that the target is familiar with this place, is familiar with the recent rotation pattern of the internal guards, is familiar with the handover process of the 'Nighthawks', and has the ability to change appearance. abilities or items. In addition, he also received help from extraordinary people who held the sacred objects of the Night Path, or it belonged to him.

"Based on these conditions, check whether the servants and priests have encountered unobvious psychics or inducements, check whether the bishops have betrayed the goddess, check the believers who have been coming to the church recently, and check the neighborhoods where those believers are located. Maybe they did not intentionally leak, But it was stolen. As for you, let me investigate.

"Also, find the missing servant and see if there are any clues."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Archbishop." Sost and other "Nighthawk" deacons responded at the same time.

While Anthony was talking, Alice could feel Leonard staring at her. He seemed to associate something with his familiarity with the inside of the church and the "Nighthawks". When Sost organized the team and prepared to leave, his eyes still fell from time to time. on her.

Alice knew what Leonard was thinking, and it was easy to guess - no one would be more familiar with this place than the former "Nighthawk".

She thought for a while, turned around and walked outside. She stopped when she passed Leonard, raised her eyes and smiled:

"If you wanted to ask me for information about that, I told you what to do."

After saying that, she turned around and left without giving Leonard a chance to ask questions.

Leonard's pupils narrowed and he wanted to say something, but Alice was very fast and turned the corner in a few breaths.

Leonard had to give up this idea. When he turned around, he saw Captain Sost and other colleagues looking at him, so he lowered his head and said:

"Where were you talking about?"

…

After returning home, Alice habitually observed Klein's situation, and silently turned her attention away after discovering that his class today was a philosophy class.

She lamented the hard work of the rich man, and curiously explored Audrey's life.

Audrey was in the study, and Alice found her playing the piano. After Alice listened to half of the song, a maid opened the door and entered.

"Miss," the maid saluted Audrey, "the evening dress for your birthday party tonight is ready. Do you want to try it on now?"

Alice was stunned for a moment. She remembered Audrey's invitation to her birthday party last night, and suddenly changed her mind.

——She planned to go and have a look.

"Leave it there," Audrey replied, "I'll try again after lunch."

The maid who received the answer withdrew again. Alice hesitated for a moment and decided not to tell Audrey now, but decided to sneak over at night.

Having made her decision, Alice took her extra attention away from Audrey.

…

At the Pulitzer Harbor Ticket Center, a man wearing a black classical robe and a pointed hat stood at the door, but the moving crowd passed through this figure, as if this person did not exist at all.

He pinched the monocle at his right eye, raised the corners of his lips and asked:

"Tingen City, right?"

This is exactly Amon.

Will Auceptin, who was forced to recognize such a "mother", had given up the struggle at this moment. Previously, in that suburban manor, Amon had once raised a fact to Him:

"To be honest, I don't care who of you two can become a god... I just want a god-making ceremony. You know why, right?"

Based on this fact, Will Asceptin gave Amon part of his bargaining chip. He gave Amon the holster of Sherlock Moriarty and the man behind it, Klein Moretti, but Hiding Gehrman Sparrow and Dwayne Dantès from behind.

He exchanged this for his own peace - or in other words, Amon, who had more important things to do, ignored him.

As for whether Amon really didn't care who among them became a god, Will Asceptin believed it out of his understanding of this path, but not completely.

——Amon may really not care, but Will Auceptin firmly believes that He, like fate, always takes sides.

However, Will Auceptin speculated that the matter of the becoming-a-god ritual should be true. After all, there is a "wrong" way to become a god-ritual. This is an obvious fact.

…

In a wild forest somewhere, Selwyn Muggeridge leaned against a tree and his body slipped down.

A book with a dark blue cover fell from his hand to the ground, opened naturally, and silver words appeared on it:

"You have obtained the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Witch of Pain'. Next, you only need to perform the ceremony to be promoted to Sequence 5."

About 4 months ago, she took the "Assassin" potion under the temptation of Sylvia and became a Beyonder of Sequence 9.

At first, she thought this was the exciting life she had always longed for and pursued. She thought this was the key to a new and different life, until she found out that she was deceived.

The girl in a cloak appeared in front of Selwyn, who was still "him" at that time, and told her that the Cassandra she met was a hateful liar. At the same time, she told her that this potion would indeed bring her great adventures and unprecedented experiences, and that the book that Sylvia was holding should be the real Cassandra.

Selwyn saw the book again after a while. The book appeared in front of her, claiming to be Cassandra, and said that she was used by Sylvia. The hateful liar used the name "Cassandra" to cheat and hurt many people.

It wanted to stop it, but it was powerless. After all, it was just a book.

Selwyn believed it easily because Cassandra explained to her why the Assassin potion would bring her an unforgettable experience - the Sequence 7 of this potion was called Witch. At this moment, the 22 extraordinary paths were known to her. Cassandra sympathized with her and proposed a remedy.

This mysterious book told her that she could choose to be promoted to Iron Knight at Sequence 4, so that she would become a man again.

Selwyn accepted this matter. Under the guidance of Cassandra, she got a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of the Witch, swallowed it in one gulp, and became a Sequence 7 Extraordinary, and also became a woman.

At the same time, the whispering that had been lingering in her ears since she became an Extraordinary became more and more profound. Selwyn could sometimes even feel that her hair was about to get out of her control and turn into snakes with bared fangs and claws.

Cassandra said that this was normal, and every mid- and low-sequence Beyonder would face such a problem. Only by becoming a Sequence 4 Demigod could this problem be truly solved. In addition, the tranquilizers of the "Pharmacist" path could slightly alleviate this situation, but it could not be cured.

Selwyn listened and wanted to speed up the pace of promotion. Cassandra advised her that it would be best to upgrade after mastering the power of this path, otherwise the extra power would make her unable to adapt, but she refused this because she was eager to become a man again.

So Cassandra led her to find another Beyonder characteristic of "Pleasure Witch", and so far, she has been promoted to Sequence 6.

Nightmares and mumblings entangled her, and she began to frequently suffer from insomnia, and had headaches from time to time during the day and night. In such pain, she could not wait to ask for the direction of Sequence 5.

Cassandra told her that the promotion of Sequence 5 could not be the same as before. When she reached Sequence 5, at the last threshold close to Demigod, she needed to hold a promotion ceremony to successfully promote.

Fortunately, the promotion ceremony of the "Witch of Pain" was not difficult. She only needed to burn in the flames for a quarter of an hour and take the potion in pain to become a Sequence 5 Beyonder.

Next, she could prepare to be promoted to a demigod. By then, she would not only be able to turn back into a man, but also get rid of the current pain...

Thinking of this, Selwyn laughed happily.

…

In the master bedroom at 160 Böklund Street.

Klein, who was taking a nap, was not as casual as he was in front of Alice. He "returned" to the town of Mizun again and saw the "Witch of Despair" Panatia, who was smiling brightly and had bloody flesh hidden between her teeth. She was hung up little by little, her eyes rolled back in despair, and her head drooped.

The densely packed corpses hanging, the terrifying huge mushrooms, and the countless transparent worms twisted into a ball appeared one after another, waking Klein from his dream.

Rubbing his temples, Klein felt that his mental state was really not very good, and this was not a spiritual pollution problem that the gray fog could solve.

He pondered for a while, entered the bathroom, came to the gray shock, and manifested German Sparrow, asking him to pray:

"Please tell Miss Justice when she is free recently? I want to receive psychological treatment."

Audrey, who had already tried on the dress, received the message, and the uneasiness and troubles in her heart immediately disappeared, and her mood was completely calmed down.

It's nothing! Well, so, Miss Destiny won't really show up at my birthday party tonight...

Audrey regretted her invitation again. She was afraid that Alice would have a sudden whim at the birthday party and cause some big trouble, ruining her coming-of-age ceremony.

Then I will definitely become Backlund's laughing stock... Audrey sighed and prayed in response:

"...Please tell Mr. 'World' that I have been busy recently. He will determine the time and place. Well, as long as it is not at night and not more than a few districts west of Backlund..."

In less than two minutes, Audrey received a reply from "World" that it would be above the gray fog today. After a brief shock, she raised the question of why she could not use extraordinary abilities above the gray fog.

Soon, she got another answer:

"...I will ask Mr. Fool to lift the restrictions in this regard and use other methods to conceal the true appearance of both parties..."

In the real world, Audrey couldn't help but be surprised.

Audrey actually knew that those above the gray fog could use extraordinary abilities. Even without looking at Alice, Cattleya's eyes could tell the story.

However, Audrey had never expected that someone would ask Mr. Fool to pass on messages so frequently and seek Mr. Fool to remove restrictions in this regard.

...Is this the special treatment for the followers?

Audrey thought of Miss Destiny above the gray fog. Although Alice could not be considered a follower in the conventional sense, Mr. Fool's attitude towards her could indeed be described as indulgence, and Audrey knew that Miss Destiny's attitude towards the "world" was very intimate.

...Could it be because of Miss Destiny?

This was the most likely guess. Audrey was unwilling to believe that Mr. Fool would indulge every follower in this way. Otherwise, it would be too conscientious and unheard of!

...

Before the ball started, Audrey changed her clothes with the help of the maid.

The process of changing evening gowns for the banquet was complicated and far beyond the ability of one person. In addition to the personal maid Anne, there were three other maids to help Audrey change the dress.

Alice looked at this extravagant scene, shook her head, and whispered in Audrey's ear:

"Happy birthday~

"But there should be no gifts."

Alice's brisk voice sounded in her ears, and Audrey was suddenly startled and stopped moving. The personal maid Anne asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? Miss?"

"Nothing." Audrey smiled and continued to change clothes as if nothing had happened.

I hope Miss Destiny doesn't do anything too outrageous... She prayed weakly in her heart.

On the other side, when Alice was about to find something to eat, she keenly discovered Susie who was hiding as a "spectator". She thought for a while and appeared in front of Susie.

"......?" "Susie looked up at her with her big watery eyes.

Alice squatted down, reached out and touched Susie's dog head without any hesitation, rubbed the dog's ears, then sighed and muttered:

"Why is there no hair... Woo, Susie, will you become a human in the future? If you become a human, will you be hairless?"

Susie was silent for two seconds, and said calmly:

"I don't know.

"I'm just a dog." (End of this chapter)
