Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 10Chapter10 The "Monster" of the Underground Market

Dunn didn't say anything, he just said calmly that he understood, and then motioned for Alice to leave.

When Alice came out, Leonard was still waiting for her - judging from his slightly excited expression, he probably just wanted to ask about her dream.

Sure enough, as soon as Leonard saw her coming out, he smiled and waved her over.

Alice looked at him rather speechlessly and asked him: "Do you want to ask about my dream?"

"Yeah, tell me, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of thing..." Leonard readily admitted.

"You..." Alice looked him up and down, and after he stood up straight unconsciously, she lowered her voice and advised him, "Your figure is not suitable for wearing a skirt."

"?" Leonard's eyes widened.

"I'm serious," Alice vowed.

"...I didn't want to try it myself!" Leonard was emotional but defended himself in a low voice.

"I understand, you have a friend who wants to give it a try." Alice quickly took over.

"?" Leonard stared at Alice. After a moment, Alice couldn't help but hold on to the counter and laughed, making Leonard a little worried that she would fall.

——Even a fool should realize that she was just joking.

"Okay, but there's really nothing to say... It's just that the Tris who appeared in my dream was a very beautiful woman, that's all." After laughing enough, Alice explained helplessly.

Leonard's expression looked a little disappointed: "That's it?"

"What else do you think?" Alice asked.

"Because you said it became, I originally thought..." Leonard shook his head and changed the subject, "Are you interested in accompanying me to the underground trading market at night?"

"?" Alice blinked, raised her head, and looked him up and down several times again with the same eyes as sizing up goods.

"...What are you looking at?" Leonard couldn't bear it.

"Well... you're inviting me on a date... Oops!" Alice's eyes widened after being knocked on the head.

"I'm not a pervert," Leonard's voice sounded gritted, "You're not even an adult yet... and I invited Klein!"

"Oh∽" Alice nodded with some understanding and concluded, "The person you really want to invite is Klein."

As a result, their fragile friendship broke down again. Leonard reached out and wanted to hit Alice hard - but she dodged it as she was already on guard.

"Okay, I'm just kidding. What I mean is, have you forgotten that I can't open my eyes to look at Klein?" Alice explained while hiding.

Leonard stopped. He was obviously aware of this thing that he had ignored. He frowned and hesitated: "I originally just thought that I was going to take you to see the underground trading market anyway. Why don't I take you two at once?" I brought them all, but I didn’t expect…”

"Speaking of which, did you know?" Leonard suddenly remembered something and looked at Alice with a frown, "There is also a 'monster' in the underground trading market. He was born half a monster, but unfortunately, none of the three major churches have it. The corresponding potion.”

"So, didn't you find the magic potion formula from that unlucky courier?" Alice asked thoughtfully.

"Courier?" Leonard looked a little confused by this coined word. "Oh, I'm sorry, that's easy to say - I meant the lucky one." Alice explained herself for blurting out.

"This is the strangest thing," Leonard looked at Alice, with a meaning in his eyes that she couldn't understand, "The lucky person only left the sequence name and sequence characteristics, and no other information was found, as if... …”

"It's as if he appeared there that day just to give me a copy of the extraordinary characteristics of a lucky person." Alice took over.

Leonard frowned and looked at Alice, who looked at him calmly. After a moment, he spoke first: "Have you already guessed?"

"It's not normal for a lucky person to fall to his death unluckily, right?" Alice rolled her eyes, "But what's the use of guessing it? I've already accepted the gift, I have no choice."

"Then why did you start..." Leonard stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him had no previous memory, "Forget it, then I will take you there tomorrow night?" "

Alice readily agreed.

……

The next day, Klein found Alice after returning from the trading market.

"I seem to know what will happen if you see me." Klein said this as soon as he came up.

"Have you seen the monster in the underground trading market?" Thinking of what Leonard said, Alice realized something.

"You know? That's right, Leonard should have told you too." Klein obviously also thought of it.

"So, what happened when he saw you?" Alice asked curiously - after all, judging from Klein's attitude, the unlucky guy should still be alive?

"He screamed, and then his eyes bled..." Klein recalled.

"That's it?" Alice was a little surprised - it was much lighter than she expected. She thought that the unlucky guy should at least be blind.

"Huh?" Klein was a little surprised.

"That's right. After all, he is not a true transcendent. Maybe his spirituality is not high enough..." Alice said to herself.

"You mean, the consequences are not serious?" Alice's soliloquy made Klein realize something, and he asked.

"I said it from the beginning, if I saw it, I might die." Alice answered with a smile.

"But, what kind of thing can..." make you die after looking at it?
"Have you ever heard of a saying?" Alice asked softly, "You must not look directly at God."

"What?" Klein looked at Alice in surprise. He wouldn't think that Alice's words were alluding to him pretending to be an evil god - after all, he's not a real evil god, so it's okay to take a look, right?
"I just suddenly thought of it. After all, you are..." Alice paused, but did not say anything. "You see, what a coincidence fate is."

Klein was thoughtful and silent. He obviously realized what Alice did not say - look, you happened to be pretending to be the evil god. What a coincidence.

But there is more to Klein than Alice thought - his greatest speciality lies in the gray fog space. If the monster's eyes can see something extraordinary, it must have something to do with that space... So, where does that space come from?
But Alice's light words interrupted his train of thought: "You know? I've heard a saying before."

"What are you talking about?" he asked cooperatively.

"Countless coincidences of fate converge into the book written by the writer."

　Alice is the type who doesn't know anything but gets everything right. Part of it is high inspiration, part of it is good luck, and part of it is... she just doesn't like to use her brain, it's not that she really has no brain (...)
