Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 145 Chapter 19 "At least you still look like a human being"

"That child is Will Asceptin?" Allen asked the question he cared about most and wanted to confirm.

"Yes." Alice blinked.

This answer that was tantamount to nonsense made Allen silent for a moment. He reorganized his words and asked: "How did he do it?"

"It's 'He'." Alice corrected.

"'Him'?" Alan repeated doubtfully.

"Let me re-introduce you to this world first," Alice drank the last sip of orange juice, put down the glass and smiled, "First of all, in this world, gods are real."

Allen felt that for a moment, his heartbeat and breathing seemed to have stopped, and everything around him seemed to be far away from him and yet very close to him.

In order to confirm that what he just heard was what he really heard, rather than imagination or hallucination, he repeated: "Do gods really exist?"

Alice looked at him doubtfully and asked, "Aren't you a believer in the goddess?"

There is only one true god...stepping on the corpses of other Sequence 1s to ascend to the throne of God...

Allen was slightly startled, but if that was the power of Sequence 1, it didn't seem to be particularly strong...

"Okay, you don't," Alice sighed, "Humans can become extraordinary by taking magic potions. From Sequence 9 to Sequence 1, Sequence 1 and above are true gods."

Alice lowered her eyes and replied: "We will start to refer to existences of Sequence 2 and above as 'him', and Will Auceptin is a Sequence 1 on the same path as me."

Allen was silent for a while and then asked: "If gods are real, then mysticism..."

"...How much do you want?" Allen asked hesitantly.

Alice frowned and explained in a scribble:

So...how strong is Sequence 1?
As if seeing his doubts, Alice asked with a smile: "Do you still remember your continuous bad luck some time ago?"

"So, you are just looking for a place of faith, you just agree with the goddess's teachings, and you don't really hope that gods exist?" Alice looked at him thoughtfully.

"Otherwise, why do you think Will Auceptin went into your wife's belly?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

Allen opened his mouth, closed it again, and thought for a while before asking: "He, no, he is also a god?"

"There are a total of twenty-two paths... Oops, it's too troublesome to explain to you. You just need to know that there can only be one true god in each path, and he ascends to the throne of God by stepping on the corpses of other Sequence 1s. "

Allen nodded thoughtfully. Before he asked the question, Alice's faint voice sounded: "Knowledge of occult science is very expensive..."

"Method...?" Allen asked doubtfully.

Allen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something: "Do you... have a grudge?"

"Extraordinary?" Allen's expression answered this question.

"Well..." Alice frowned and looked at him, "Have you ever heard of the Extraordinary?"

"I..." Allen opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

Allen thought of the two giant snakes confronting each other in the dream, and the girl hiding aside, and realized that this might be the reason why they were enemies.

"I think, rather than this, you should be more worried about whether Will Asceptin will know that you came to see me." Alice smiled inexplicably.

Before he could say anything, he heard Alice continue: "Well... that's probably a bit of bad luck that you accidentally encountered, right?"

Allen suddenly realized what a dangerous environment he was in.

"Cherish your last peaceful life, Doctor Allen." Alice glanced at him with pity, stood up, and showed off her guests. Allen stood up subconsciously following her movements, then reacted and asked eagerly: "Wait a minute, what should I do?"

Alice looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Why do you always feel like you trust me? It's obvious that the image of me in your dream is even less like a good person..."

Allen was silent for a moment and said: "At least, at least you still look like a human being..."

Alice couldn't help but laugh.

This is an answer without any problems, but when it comes to the Extraordinary, it is particularly funny - yes, doesn't she just "look like a person"?

Looking at Allen, Alice suddenly had an idea. She smiled and said: "Go back, don't worry, we can't fight yet."

"But..." Allen seemed to want to say something else.

Alice shook her head and said, "Besides, even if we really fight, what can you do?"

Allen fell silent again.

He thought of his bad luck that had troubled him for a long time, and it was even just bad luck that he accidentally encountered - so, what kind of bad luck would it really be that targeted him?

Allen thought so and asked aloud.

Alice pondered for a moment and then replied:

"Well... let's say you're crossing a river, and the water in this river is very shallow, probably barely above your ankles.

"You might accidentally step on a stone at the bottom of the river, or something? Anyway, you might fall down.

"Maybe you just fall to your death - but generally speaking, I like a more dramatic ending, like...

"Actually, nothing happened to you when you fell, except that you happened to land on your face, and you happened to have cramps due to the cold river water and couldn't get up.

"Anyway, something very bad happened - you drowned in a river with water no more than your ankles deep."

Allen briefly lost the ability to speak.

"If you are still curious..." Alice said thoughtfully, "You can probably find some people with very special luck to find out more?"

Alan walked towards the door thoughtfully.

"By the way," Alice finally said before he left, "remember not to let Will Asceptin see anything unusual~"

"What will happen if you see it?" Allen turned around and asked.

Alice raised the corners of her lips, with a wicked Amon-like smile on her face, blinked her eyes and said, "It won't be a big deal, anyway...it's not me who dies~"

Allen suddenly became worried about the correctness of his choice.

If these three guys fight, it is inevitable that he and Wilma will be affected, but... will the person in front of him really care about him and Wilma?
Allen took one last look at Alice and left without saying anything.

——He also has no choice.

After knowing the special nature of Will Asceptin, he could not pretend to be ignorant and regard the child in Velma's belly as his own, nor could he turn a blind eye to the dream.

And from the moment he knocked on Alice's door, he had already made a choice between Will Asceptin and Alice.

——After all, you can’t expect him to actually go find Ourolyus.
