Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 12Chapter12 "I forgot."

Alice finally came to the underground trading market.

After holding their noses through the Dragon Bar and entering the secret door, they passed through several rooms before seeing the legendary underground trading market.

Some people set up stalls here, some asked for prices, and some walked through looking for items they were interested in.

Alice was following Leonard with great interest, listening to Leonard introduce the rules here to her.

"One-twentieth of all proceeds should be given to Swain. He is the owner of the Dragon Bar and the former captain of the Punisher Squad. In addition, if you don't bring enough money, you can also borrow it from Swain. but……"

He paused, and Alice naturally realized the words that followed: "He still borrows money at usury?"

"Obviously." Leonard agreed with Alice's words.

"The stall owner here..." Alice was about to say something, but suddenly paused. She heard a vague whisper, and she subconsciously turned her head. A young man with a pale face and shabby clothes was in the corner. He stared at her blankly, there was still blood in his eyes.

Alice's mind moved, and she realized that this might be the unlucky monster. She paused, turned and walked towards the man.

The man's eyes were distracted, but his eyes followed Alice's movement until Alice stood still in front of him.

Alice looked at him. He seemed to have been distracted by something. He was staring at her like that, and seemed to be staring at some existence through her. Alice had no doubt that if no one reminded him, he could stand here until he changed. into a statue.

"What did you see?" Alice asked softly, looking at the eyes that seemed to be on her but not on her.

"...I forgot." The man made a slow and soft voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. His eyes were still fixed on Alice, but Alice had an inexplicable feeling in her heart - this man was absolutely terrible. Not looking at her.

"Why did you forget it?" Alice still asked patiently. She intuitively felt that this person must have seen some key information in her body, but she couldn't turn her eyes to herself - looking in the mirror was not looking at herself.

"..." The man remained silent for a long time. It was not until Alice gradually lost patience and considered whether to leave here and go elsewhere that she heard his voice, "Because of the confusion."

Because of confusion? What's the meaning? Alice still wanted to ask questions, but the man had already looked away. His eyes were distracted but his attitude was firm and he walked away from here. Alice stood there and stared at him until he disappeared from sight, never looking back.

monster. For the first time, Alice paid attention to this word, or this path, this sequence, and she began to hesitate whether to find a way to find an extraordinary person with the same path to take a look at herself.

"If I want to find the extraordinary person who is a monster, where should I go?" Alice looked at Leonard, who might know about this.

"The School of Life, the starting point of this path is only available in the School of Life." Leonard frowned and answered her, "Do you want to...?"

"I want to know what they can see in me." Alice said without any emotion, and then wandered around various vendors as if nothing had happened.

School of Life... Alice slowly recalled information about this organization.

This secret organization appeared in the early part of this era, its specific origin is unknown, and it is mainly passed down from master to apprentice.
Their specific theories and beliefs are also rarely disclosed. Alice only knows that they divide the world into three levels: the world of absolute rationality, also known as the world of absolute truth; the spiritual world; and the material world. Alice remembered that a prophet also appeared in this organization. Prophet... this name reminded Alice of the monster's ability. Then thinking of the three sequences that seemed to be unrelated at present, she suddenly realized something: "Generally, one way will appear the ability between the sequences." Is it an unrelated situation?”

"Generally speaking, the sequence capabilities of the same pathway are progressive." Leonard gave the answer, "But according to the captain, Ms. Dai Li gave a guess that in addition to the conventional progressive sequence, maybe There are also situations where one sequence has an ability and then is combined in a certain sequence.”

"...Sequence Four?" Alice naturally thought of Sequence Four, the starting point of high sequence and the beginning of changes in the essence of life.

Leonard nodded.

Alice remembered this thoughtfully, and then asked him, "Have you nothing else to do?"

"...I just came here once yesterday." The implication is that it is indeed not the case.

Alice didn't say anything, and just stood there and stared at Leonard, as if she was playing a game with him about whose eyes were widened, so Leonard took the lead and couldn't bear it anymore: "...You go shopping by yourself for a while. ."

After watching Leonard leave the area, Alice began to wander alone in the underground market.

Alice stopped in front of a stall selling amulets. Amulets with certain effects, in this underground trading market full of fakes, even if the effect was very weak, were still noticeable enough in Alice's spirituality.

Alice knelt down and picked out two amulets that emitted a faint light - these were the only two that were lucky enough to be engraved with the correct spell.

"Do you want to buy it, miss?" The boss became excited when he saw the business, "I can give you a discount if we put two pieces together, as long as..."

"No," Alice interrupted the boss, and then picked up another exquisite silver amulet in the boss's confused eyes, "I want this."

So the boss regained his joyful smile when facing the guests: "Oh, this... I made this carefully, it..."

"It's of no use at all." Alice interrupted the boss calmly.

"Then why did you buy it?" The boss's eyes were full of questions like "Are you here to cause trouble?"

"Well...because it's beautiful." Alice gave her answer without hesitation, "Make a price, don't ask for the amulet."

The boss stared at Alice for a while, and he realized that the person in front of him might not only be a fan of occultism, but she also had some knowledge of occultism—maybe she was even an extraordinary person.

"3 sulers." This knowledge made the boss calm down a lot, and he chose not to quote the standard of amulets, but the standard of silver jewelry. Of course, he habitually reserved room for bargaining, but...

Alice took out the money without any intention of bargaining and left the stall.
