Mystery: Lucky

These words made Audrey realize something. Her heart moved and she said with a smile:

"Of course I will...actually, I'm terrified."

Alice turned to look at her, listening intently.

This change was not obvious, but it was enough for an "audience". Audrey continued in a gentle voice:

"You are different from the people I have come into contact with in the past. My extraordinary abilities probably won't work on you?"

Audrey's inquiring gaze fell on Alice. After a pause of two beats, Alice nodded and said softly "Hmm."

So Audrey sighed and said:

"Without extraordinary abilities, I am just an ordinary person. I can only chat with you. In this way..."

She didn't say any more, but shook her head and sighed again.

Alice stared at her, frowned and asked, "Then why do you still agree to me?"

Audrey said to her helplessly:

"If you had a better choice, why would you choose me?"

Alice paused and then asked: "Aren't you afraid that my state will be worse after talking to you today?"

It turned out that this was what I was worried about... Audrey took out a breath and said with a smile:

"But I'm not bad either...and if you don't give it a try, how do you know it won't work?

"After all, I have learned so much about psychology, and I have also given many psychological counseling services to people..."

Alice was slightly startled. She temporarily withdrew from the uneasiness of being expected and looked at her past.

Am I not bad either...?

After two seconds of silence, she turned her head and asked Audrey abruptly:

"What kind of... what kind of god do you think I am?"

"I don't know," Audrey said frankly, "Very powerful and mysterious? I shouldn't need to say this... But I guess people who are familiar with you will think that you are just like a child... …”

She glanced at Alice and her tone became hesitant. After a moment of silence, Alice continued her words:

"...Probably not like that."

She looked at Audrey, who was a little dazed, and said as if reminiscing:

"When I first stepped into the river of destiny...how old were I? Six or seven years old? Seven or eight years old? I seemed to have had a long, long dream in it. When I woke up, I became a god. …”

Audrey opened her mouth slightly in surprise. At this moment, she gave up controlling her expression and showed an expression that could be called indecent.

Alice added the last sentence quietly: "So, I'm probably not like a child..."

"This is really..." Audrey slowly put away her surprised expression and sighed, "This is really surprising, Miss Destiny... can I ask a question?"

"What?" Alice asked confused.

Audrey looked at her with wonder in her eyes, and asked as if in admiration: "Were you an ordinary person when you were born?"

"I think so?" Alice hesitated slightly.

"I don't think so," Audrey denied with a smile, "Although I don't know what the situation you described is... but ordinary people probably don't have a chance to wake up."

Alice was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously replied: "Maybe I'm just lucky..."

Audrey naturally followed her words: "Isn't good luck enough? Good luck has brought you here. Maybe good luck can help you do more things?"

Alice paused for a moment. She was no longer entangled in the previous matter, but Audrey's words gave her a strange feeling. Even though she had realized that Audrey was trying to make fun of herself, Alice still couldn't help but say:

"...Miss Justice, relying on fate is not a good habit."

"I know," Audrey spread her hands, "You demonstrated this vividly with yourself."

Alice felt that she was scolding herself. She stared at Audrey, defeated in her innocent eyes, and gave up on herself:

"...I want to eat ice cream."

Audrey seriously thought about the possibility of coaxing Alice to get better if she asked someone to serve ice cream from the beginning.

…

Alice heard from Crane on Thursday.

After hearing that Ince Zangwill had finally appeared, Alice gave Klein the good luck she promised without hesitation, and then started to watch the excitement from a distance using the occult coordinates given by Klein.

This was a wise choice. After looking up at the figure wearing a simple white robe and a silver cross, Alice became even more convinced of this idea - she didn't want to go down even if she died.

This is not a matter of being afraid of Adam. Alice also saw the silver river that had just dissipated at the scene, and Klein told her that the Erling hidden in Ince Zangwill's body was probably Medici, an angel. King!

This is a bit too scary.

The battle was about to break out. After Alice watched Klein use Ludwell to take away Medici's evil spirit, a bad feeling arose in her heart. She wanted to remind her, but now was not the time. She frowned and waited for this battle. Finish.

"0-08" wrote words on Ince Zangwill's robe from time to time. Alice's attention soon fell on "0-08". She was not worried that Klein would lose. This obviously It was a play directed by Klein, but the moment Adam appeared, Alice knew that Ince Zangwill must die today.

——"0-08" will probably belong to Adam.

Sure enough, despite the situation changing several times under the influence of "0-08", in the end, Klein with the death knell appeared in front of the dying Ince Zangwill.

...No, he is still angry.

Alice frowned and looked at Ince. After seeing Klein, he quickly replied and roared:

"You, it is indeed you! You are indeed still alive! Let's die together!"

Alice began to seriously think about whether she should go out for a walk.

Klein didn't show any surprise or influence. He raised his right hand and pulled the trigger as if he had a premonition.

Bang!

Ince Zangwill was knocked to the ground by the powerful impact, and the cracks on his head became wider and wider.

"The shot just now was for Ms. Daly." Klein said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, during Ince Zangwill’s ineffective struggle, shot after shot was fired:

"This shot was Leonard's.

“This shot belongs to the captain.

“This shot belongs to Megoose.

“This shot belongs to the inner watchman.

“This shot belonged to the compromised Blackthorn Security Company.

"This shot belongs to all Nighthawks.

"This shot is mine."

Amidst the bang-bang-bang sounds, Klein continuously pulled the trigger and made corresponding changes, firing silver demon-hunting bullets, poisoning Ince Zangwill's other leg and opening his forehead. His roaring voice became lower and lower, and he gradually lay down on the ground.

Finally, Klein flashed in front of Ince Zangwill and pressed the "Death Knell" revolver against his face.

At this moment, mysterious and strange patterns appeared on Ince Zangwill's head, which was about to split open, creating a strong impact.

He still has the ability to resist!

He is waiting for the opponent to approach and use his mythical creature form to reverse the situation!

However, Klein's brown eyes looked at him like that, but didn't reflect anything.

He pressed the "Death Knell" revolver harder and then pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Ince Zangwill's head exploded completely, like a smashed watermelon, with pieces and juice scattered everywhere.

As the "death knell" rang, Klein raised his left hand, rubbed his two eyes out, and pushed the real eyes hidden underneath back to their original positions.

There was mist in his brown eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little bit, and he said in a low voice to the dead Ince Zangwill:

"I originally wanted Alice to do this shot herself."

Alice opened her eyes wide. Klein fired the shot so quickly that she almost didn't react. She just stared blankly as he took out a tarot card from his pocket and threw it on the body of Ince Zangwill. .

This is a reversed "Star" card.

At this time, a figure appeared not far away. Looking at the dim quill in front of him, Alice suddenly remembered something. She appeared in front of him in an instant, raised one foot and stepped on the feather. Pen.

Adam, who was half-bent, straightened up again and looked at her calmly. Alice was inexplicably nervous. She swallowed and repeated what Amon said to her:

"Except Ourolius who has been eliminated...

"Will Asceptin and I, I stand on the side of the future 'fool', and he stands on the side of the future 'error'..."

"That makes sense, right?"

Adam looked at her calmly. Alice swallowed nervously and had the urge to pull back her feet and run away. Fortunately, Adam spoke before she gave up:

"That's right.

"That's reasonable."

Alice quickly retracted her foot and took several steps back.

Adam didn't care at all. He maintained his peaceful smile and bent down to pick up the quill again. Alice stared at him, hesitated for two seconds, and decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to ask a question:

"Do we know each other? I mean, before, you know what I mean..."

Amid her questions, Adam picked up the quill, his eyes fell on her calmly, and his voice was calm:

"I know you.

"But I haven't met you... and I don't know the answer you want to ask."

Alice's expression suddenly paused. She pursed her lips and stared at Adam, but it felt like a stone fell to the ground in her heart. Many things that were originally just doubts suddenly had definite answers.

She should be grateful to Adam. After all, he gave her the answer she had always wanted. But facing the person who finally revealed the truth directly, Alice felt a sense of resentment at a certain moment, and she felt like she wished Adam was dead. .

...No, that's not right.

This is not me!

Alice removed her emotions from her body and became rational and calm. This is something that every demigod of the "destiny" path can do, and she is certainly no exception.

Adam glanced at the tarot card as if he was unaware of what just happened, and then smiled and said to the two of them:

"All gifts from fate have already been marked with a secret price, right?"

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared step by step into the dilapidated square, leaving behind a chant-like sentence:

"In the presence of an 'audience', Crane Moretti completes a magnificent drama and directs a magical murder, whereby he completes a perfect ritual and will attempt to be promoted when the drama falls ”

Watching Adam's back disappear, Alice turned her head and asked Klein as if she was lost:

"you say……

“What does it mean that even the omniscient and omnipotent doesn’t know the answer?”

Klein was slightly startled. Alice smiled with a look of sadness and relief, and whispered:

"Try to get promoted... I'll watch you."

Klein didn't say anything. He vaguely realized that it might be best not to say anything at this moment. He just took out the potion ingredients one by one and mixed the potion in a small metal bottle.

Then, he raised the potion and drank it all.

Alice watched this scene quietly. She watched Klein scream, his expression twisted in pain, and transparent worms emerged from his body one after another.

...Worms?

Alice regained her liveliness. She took a half step back with horror on her face, and then remembered that it was Klein in front of her. She hesitated and stepped forward, looking at the worms that emerged and thinking seriously about what would happen if she reached out and touched them.

He is getting promoted. Isn't it a bad idea...?

Alice hesitated and pressed her right hand with her left hand, then her left hand with her right hand, then her right hand with her left hand, and then...

She crossed her left and right hands and moved forward. Finally, before she touched the worm, the worm shrank back and turned into skin again. Klein opened his eyes again, stood up straight, and looked at her hand.

Alice was silent for two seconds, then she took her hand back and tapped her chest four times, drawing a crimson moon symbol, and said solemnly:

"Congratulations on becoming a demigod."

Klein knocked on her head.

Alice hugged her head and screamed. Leonard, who was trying to get up on the ground, fell back in fear, successfully diverting their attention.

The atmosphere became awkward for some reason. Leonard looked at the two of them and hesitated to speak. After two seconds of silence, Alice turned to Klein and asked:

"Have you decided who you want to be a female companion?"

"...Can't I be a man?" Klein tried to bargain.

Leonard looked at Klein and then at Alice, his expression full of confusion and hesitation. He finally couldn't help asking:

"What are you... talking about?"

Just as Klein was about to speak, Alice said first:

"It's like this, Klein wants to be your female companion... Don't hit me!"

She was halfway through her words when she screamed and jumped away with her head in her hands. Klein took his hand back and said to Leonard calmly:

"Ignore her."

"She suggested that I attend the captain's wedding with you as your female companion, so that the captain would know who I am at a glance."

Leonard listened and opened his mouth in surprise. He stood up from the ground and argued seriously:

"I think this is difficult..."

"You know, my handsome face can still attract the attention of many girls. I'm afraid that the captain won't think of attending as my female companion..."

"I understand!" Alice clapped her hands and looked at Leonard excitedly, "You should find a male companion!" (End of this chapter)
