Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 178 Chapter 52 Alice’s Understanding
Klein is confused now.

When the fog first lifted, there was no Alice—well, normal.

The fog cleared for a while, but there was still no news from Alice—well, it was barely normal.

…It’s been several fucking days!

The divination was fruitless, nothing could be seen through the twinkling crimson stars, and he couldn't directly pull Alice up or send her a reply - after all, no matter what the situation was, something was definitely wrong with Alice now.

After two uneasy days, Klein finally heard the familiar voice of prayer on Friday evening.

……

Alice got up from the ground in confusion, looked around, and fell into deep thought.

She seemed to be in a hidden world, which was no different from when she fainted. The only problem was that she was the only one in it.

...Ah this.

Realizing that the matter was probably resolved, Klein pulled Alice up without hesitation and looked at Alice carefully to confirm her condition.

"You...did you forget to let me out?"

……

Last time, Alice seriously reflected on her hasty behavior of naming Sequence 4 of the "Soothsayer" path "Circusmaster" and came up with the idea of ​​changing the name to "Circus".

After hearing the prayer, Klein quickly came above the gray fog and heard Alice's prayer as he wished: "Pull me up."

Of course, this question would not be answered. After checking her belongings, arranging her clothes and confirming the time today, Alice hurried back home.

Klein thought back to the last time Alice showed this expression.

"You are the lord of sleep and silence,
"You are the queen of disaster and fear,
"I pray for your attention,

Klein looked at Alice in confusion, and then he heard Alice curse in pure Chinese:
"Fuck your fate, you call this special luck?"

Alice looked around and murmured thoughtfully: "Goddess... doesn't she really want to talk to me?"

After hesitating between the honorific name and the real name, Alice chose the safer honorary name:

"Higher than the stars, the goddess of night, longer than eternity,
"You are the Crimson Lord, the Mother of Secrets,

Alice blinked blankly, realizing a serious question - how should she get out?

After a moment of silence, Alice felt the hidden power dissipate, and the surroundings became lively again.

"I beg you to hear me,

She didn't rush to complain, her expression was serious, as if she was thinking about something important.

Alice was silent for a moment, looked at Klein seriously and said, "I think there is only one sentence that can express my feelings after completing the promotion ceremony."

...Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling?
Even so, Klein still asked with concern: "Is there something wrong with your promotion ceremony?"

The way Alice broke her guard and cursed people completely aroused Klein's curiosity. Although it felt like she had experienced something very bad, now that Alice was full of energy and swearing, Klein's worries were reduced a lot.

Now, Klein just wants to know what happened to make Alice so excited.

Using his clown-like ability to control his expression, he tried his best to look worried and asked in a concerned tone, "So what's going on?"

"I..." Alice described all her experiences until she swallowed the Extraordinary Characteristics with a difficult expression.

Klein was silent for a moment and asked the same question as Alice: "Does your 'destiny' approach call this luck?"

After Alice was silent for a moment, she looked at Klein and hesitated to express her doubts:

"Actually, I seem to be able to understand a little bit of the meaning...

"You see, under normal circumstances, promotion needs to be carried out when the body, mind and soul are at their best, so that the success is greater.

"If, I mean if...

“When my physical and mental condition couldn’t get any worse, I was forced to swallow a copy of Extraordinary Characteristics, without even supporting materials, and was promoted hastily.

"If you can be promoted successfully in this way, you can't say you are unlucky, right..."

Klein stared at Alice dumbfounded, and after a while he asked thoughtfully, "Why does this sound so familiar?"

"..." Alice glanced at Klein resentfully. After all... the reason why she collapsed was because she could completely understand this idea!
It even sounded like it was something she would do... Alice shuddered, not daring to continue thinking about it, and changed the subject:

"Sequence 5 is when the 'destiny' pathway first gains the ability to control destiny. The essence of the ritual is probably to use the fluctuations of one's own destiny to stabilize one's soul in the process and prevent it from being washed away?

"Hmm...I don't know the specifics. After all, I was...probably recovering my memory, right?"

"Restore memory?" Klein sat up, "So, that book..."

Alice was silent for a moment, remembering how she and Song Shu became friends, and then thinking about Song Shu's judgment on the relationship between the two people...

So Song Shu was definitely lying to her at that time!

Alice held her forehead in pain.

Of course, what Song Shu showed her was not all strange things like the domineering Angel of Time and his fool Xiao Jiaojiao with a hundred vests. Of course, it was not that there were no normal stories...otherwise she wouldn't really believe it!
...How about you show it to Klein?
Tormented by the bizarre thoughts of fate, Alice seriously considered the possibility of venting her grievances on Klein.

Klein looked at Alice who was silent and suddenly had a bad feeling. He asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Alice looked at Klein thoughtfully and said, "I want to give Mr. Fool a gift."

Thinking of Alice's return gift to Amon, Mr. Fool's eyes widened and asked: "What are you going to do?"

Judging from his tone and reaction, Mr. Fool was extremely scared at the time.

Alice glanced at Mr. Fool, lowered her head thoughtfully and said:
"Although I still can't remember the title of the book, there is indeed some information related to Mr. Fool...

"Besides, it should be very important information!"

Klein's bad premonition worsened.

Alice patted Mr. Fool's shoulder solemnly, and said sincerely: "Don't worry, Mr. Fool, I will sort it out, and you can see it at the next Tarot meeting."

"Can you give me a warning?" Klein asked hesitantly.

Alice was silent for a moment, looked at Klein and said sincerely: "About this place and how you used this place to defeat Amon."
