Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Fat Pharmacist

Alice reached out to hold the door frame and quickly found her position. Then, she looked at Bogda with a smile.

But Bogda showed respect in his eyes, counted out 6 pennies, and said to her: "You are a respectable fortune teller."

"I'm just a lucky person who occasionally gets a glimpse of fate." Alice said, while absent-mindedly thinking about that sentence - why did "Huanhuan" write such a sentence?

Subconsciously, Alice always felt that it was a very important thing, and that sentence, that sentence itself might also be very important...

Alice, immersed in her thoughts, left the Fortune Teller Club, but began to hesitate about her next move.

"...Should we go to that herbal medicine shop?"

Alice subconsciously resisted this idea. After all, if she bumped into Bogda just now on the road or in the store, it would not be a pleasant experience for Alice.

……Yes! Alice slapped her head. Since it was possible to bump into Bogda no matter what, why not just follow him directly?

Alice followed Bogda quietly according to the tracking skills she had learned. When Bogda started walking from Vlad Street to the end of the street for the third time, Alice began to doubt her decision.

Luckily - this gentleman was stuck with his liver and couldn't go a fourth time, oh, that's so good...

Alice sighed helplessly and rested near Rosen's folk herbal shop.

After Bogda walked away with a bag of herbs, Alice walked in.

The boss, who was about to shout something at the back door, paused. He looked at Alice, looked her up and down, and asked with a strange expression: "Miss, are you... er, are you an adult?"

"?" Alice looked at him confused, obviously not understanding what this had to do with whether she was an adult or not.

"I mean, you look healthy." The boss wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

"Well..." Alice looked at him thoughtfully, turning around in her mind a few times but couldn't think of a tactful way, so she asked bluntly, "Do you know where to find the monster?"

"?" The fat pharmacist met such a straightforward extraordinary person for the first time. He trembled. Looking at Alice's childish and innocent face, he was not sure what to do for a while.

"I mean no harm," Alice blinked and decided to reveal a little information, "I just...well, is it convenient for you to talk here?"

The fat pharmacist looked at Alice for a while, perhaps realizing that Alice seemed to have no intention of taking action. He locked the door, set up a spiritual wall, and then looked at Alice.

"I accidentally became a supernatural being," Alice explained.

"Accidentally?" The fat pharmacist's eyes were filled with distrust.

"I swallowed a portion of Extraordinary Characteristics by mistake, and then..." Alice explained hesitantly, and she managed to see the fat pharmacist's expression become strange.

"Is it... a 'monster'?" the fat pharmacist asked with some uncertainty - if it is a monster, it is indeed possible to find him. Monsters often see things they shouldn't see because of their high inspiration, but occasionally they do. to something useful.

"No, it's worse than that," Alice frowned with a headache, "I swallowed the extraordinary characteristics of a lucky person."

"That's...?" The fat pharmacist had some guesses. He remembered that the teacher said that the monster path can make people lucky, but he didn't know what sequence it was.

"Sequence 7 of the 'Monster' path." Alice replied. "..." The fat pharmacist opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he seemed to have briefly lost the ability to speak and control his facial muscles, and could only maintain a stunned expression as he looked at Alice.

"I now believe that the 'monster' path can really improve luck," this was the first sentence the Fat Medicine Master said after regaining his language ability. "How should I contact you?"

"I guess you will pack your things and move away tomorrow," Alice guessed. She managed to see the flesh on the fat pharmacist's face trembling. "I said I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted to know more about this path. , and meet the extraordinary people who have the same path. You can contact the School of Life first, and if there is no problem, you can come to the Church of the Night to find me, or write to..."

Alice left her address and contact information, and then left the herbal shop without hesitation. She was not worried that there would be no response to the matter - even if she suspected it was a trap, someone would come to investigate Alice's situation.

and……

Alice lowered her head and looked at herself thoughtfully, although she couldn't tell much.

"Perhaps, the real problem in that first incident is actually myself?"

……

On Monday morning, Alice heard shocking news at Blackthorn Security Company.

"So, the captain entered the dream of Heinus Vincent, and that man died before he came out?"

"Yes." Leonard replied.

Alice jumped up immediately to find Dunn.

Entering Dunn's office, Dunn was sitting behind the desk as always, and Alice quietly observed Dunn - well, he seemed to be fine.

"What do you want to ask?" Dunn asked after Alice looked at him for a long time.

"I heard Leonard talk about what happened last night, and I was a little worried about you..." Alice explained her behavior.

"So that's it," Dunn glanced at Alice gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"...Can you tell me what you saw in your dream?" Alice was still a little worried and continued to ask.

"..." Dunn was silent for a moment, but still answered Alice, "That was not a pleasant memory... I saw a huge one that filled the sky in Heinus Vincent's dream. A cross with a naked man nailed to it with black iron nails..."

Alice listened carefully to Dunn's description, and the man hanging upside down on the cross reminded her easily of an image - the Hanged Man card in the Tarot.

Thinking of Dunn's coma and the Tarot cards said to be related to the twenty-two paths to God, Alice suddenly remembered the sentence again - "Don't look directly at God."

What if the captain really saw a certain god in his dream? Especially since it sounds like an evil god...

This idea appeared in Alice's mind uncontrollably. When Alice began to suspect that Dunn's death was related to losing control, this idea became more and more terrifying.

She looked at Dunn and the thick shadow that enveloped him, pursed her lips, and suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the topic: "Captain, tell me, is the name of the sequence potion just Is it for reaction effect?”
