Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 141 Chapter 15 50 pounds of friendship
Klein fell into deep thought.

Klein felt something was wrong.

"But the 'True Creator' didn't know about 'The Fool' before! Mr. A even announced his name!" Klein retorted.

Alice thought about it seriously and found a possibility: "How are things going on at the Sun?"

Klein suddenly realized.

Yes, only Little Sun has recited the honorable name of "The Fool" recently, and that was when he had interactions with members of the exploration team who were contaminated by the "True Creator"...

He held a sacrificial ceremony. There should be symbols corresponding to "The Fool" at the scene, and there should be an ancient palace above the gray fog...

Therefore, the "True Creator" noticed the existence of "The Fool" and determined that I was the guy who had previously blasphemed, no, harassed, and no, peeked at Him...

For some reason, Klein suddenly remembered the bottle of "Provocateur" potion in Alice's hand.

However, the "True Creator" can confirm that the "Fool"'s favored ones appear in Backlund, most likely because of the "Total Black Eyes"...

You can't take "Total Black Eyes" out casually anymore!
After understanding the crux of the matter, Klein glanced at Alice and decided to leave the task of guessing Mr. A's intention to Alice.

After all, he considers himself to be a normal person.

"Why do you think Mr. A is looking for Fool followers in a gathering of Beyonders that is not too private and relatively open?" Klein asked, looking at Alice.

"Is it possible that someone has looked for Fool followers here before?" Alice asked, holding her chin, "I remember that the last time was also reported by the 'Magician'..."

Klein nodded thoughtfully and reminded: "Do you want to remind Bernadette?"

"Ah..." Alice blinked, "Do you want to be reminded?"

Klein suddenly felt worried that Alice would accidentally sell him out one day.

No, she might have sold it on purpose... While complaining, Klein mentioned another thing: "Dr. Allen commissioned me to investigate you."

"You agreed?" Alice asked with a frown.

"...He offered 50 pounds." Klein emphasized.

Alice held her chin and thought carefully: "So, our relationship is worth 50 pounds?"

"No, I wasn't going to ask you what you would say then..." Klein defended himself in a low voice.

"I didn't even tell Amon and Bernadette about you!" Alice glared at Klein.

Klein was briefly moved, but he soon found that he was surrounded by Alice, and couldn't help but said: "...Is that the same thing?"

"Why not? Will Asceptin is at his house now... Oh no, maybe he should be called Will Kris now." Alice curled her lips.

"Could it be that if I don't agree to this request, He won't be able to find you?" Klein asked in confusion.

"...That's not true, we have already met." Alice's eyes wandered.

"So what's going on with you two now? What should I say?" Klein leaned back in his chair and asked.

"That's right, I can't do anything to Him, and He can't do anything to me..." Alice sighed, and suddenly her eyes lit up as if she remembered something, "Hey, tell me, can I give you this monocle?" Allen?"

"?" Klein opened his mouth wide, "Let's assume that if one day you gave me a gift, and then you found out that I gave the gift away..."

"I'll kill you two," Alice replied without hesitation.

Klein hesitated to speak and looked at Alice.

Alice, who received Klein's gaze, was silent for a moment, gave up the idea in disappointment, and sighed: "Anyway, you can do whatever a normal detective would do." Klein nodded thoughtfully. He nodded and said: "That's good, I thought you really planned to let Allen give the child to..."

"I'm overthinking it," Alice rolled her eyes, "It's not that easy. I'm just looking for something to do for Will Asceptin."

Klein pondered for a moment and asked: "...Just like what you did to Amon?"

"What did I do to Amon?" Alice blinked blankly.

"That painting..." Klein reminded.

"...What's even worse is that I didn't even give it to Him." Alice curled her lips.

"Do you have anything more outrageous?" Klein looked at her in astonishment.

"Are you sure you want to ask?" Alice glanced at him pityingly.

Klein carefully thought about what happened to Allen and Alger who still persisted after hearing this question. He quickly shook his head and said:
"No, no need, don't tell me."

Alice then leaned back in her chair again.

——Klein didn’t know that Amon was also shocked because he couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

……

After returning to reality, Alice looked at the sky outside, thought about it and decided to go to bed first.

...Bernadette will not die in one night!
But when she got up the next day, this matter had been forgotten by Alice. She opened the door without any image, holding a piece of bread in her mouth, and took out the letter from the mailbox.

"Newspaper... newspaper... or newspaper... Bernadette... huh?"

Alice murmured vaguely while biting the bread. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and the bread fell to the ground.

Alice thought seriously about whether she could eat it after picking it up and washing it. Finally, she thought it was too pitiful and she might as well throw it away.

Well, let's leave it to stray animals...

Alice happily arranged the loaf's whereabouts and returned with the newspaper and letter.

Then, she threw aside the letter belonging to Bernadette and began to do as the Romans do in this era, doing what many people like to do in this era: reading the newspaper while having breakfast.

"It's like playing with your mobile phone while eating..." Alice swallowed a mouthful of bread hard, turned the page of the newspaper and complained softly.

"No wonder Emperor Russell wanted to invent playing cards. Without playing cards, the world would be boring to death..."

Alice put away the newspaper in a murmur, threw Bernadette's letter on the coffee table, and suddenly thought of a certain time angel who liked playing cards with her.

...it sounds really boring.

Speaking of which, did Emperor Russell only invent Landlords? In fact, there are many ways to play poker. If that doesn't work, we can also play mahjong...

Alice seriously considered the possibility of teaching Amon how to play mahjong the next time she saw him.

However, isn’t it a bit too little for two people to play mahjong? But if you want to gather the number of people, calling anyone seems to be harmful. If you let Amon clone...

What's the difference between that and cheating?

　kp: Are you sure you want to do this?
