Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Gods and Believers

"Fallen Creator...Fallen..." Alger repeated this sentence, and Alice quietly looked at his expression, thinking that this gentleman was really rich in brainstorming abilities.

Alice saw him whispering something, and said with a smile: "Mr. Fool, your description is indeed more appropriate. According to our observation, the proportion of extraordinary people who believe in the true Creator, no, the fallen Creator, is much higher. Compared to the normal value, most of the rest are lunatics.”

Are you crazy? Alice's eyebrows raised in surprise. She suddenly realized that the state of the gods might affect the state of the believers?

So...what about the other way around?
Alice suddenly realized that she had been having a misunderstanding in her thinking.

If the gods are false, then that's it. For real gods, why should they care about the beliefs of mortals? Not to mention, in addition to the gods themselves, the church's holy scriptures also include biographies of saints and angels...

Since the saint is the beginning of the fusion of divinity, does this mean that divinity, like serial potions, will contaminate extraordinary people? And believers can help resist this pollution...

These unverifiable speculations were suppressed by Alice. After all, she was still far away from high-sequence, and she did not have much desire to be promoted. Maybe she would never need this knowledge in her life. At this moment, Alice That's what I thought.

Mr. Fool, who was thinking hard about how to ask for information about the Secret Order and the Clown Potion, secretly kept an eye on Alice while considering the hopeless trumpet.

Mr. Fool was considering the possibility of entrusting Alice to purchase for the next Tarot Club. Audrey had already spoken with half sigh and half curiosity: "It sounds terrible, um, Miss Destiny, Mr. Hanged Man" , can you tell me in detail about the various mysterious organizations and secret sects? It is difficult for me to come into contact with these in daily life, so I can only understand them through you. I will pay you, I don’t know what you want?"

"Clues from the School of Life or the 'Monster' path to Extraordinary people," Alice reported her initial request. "If I get the clues in advance, I will change them to something else."

Audrey readily agreed and said she would pay attention to relevant clues.

"I need a sum of money, 1000 pounds, preferably unnumbered banknotes, or newly mined gemstones, calculated based on the average monthly price of the Backlund jewelry trading market." Alger didn't look too disappointed and thought about it. After a while, he reported his needs.

This offer made Alice feel a little surprised, and what made her even more surprised was that Audrey readily agreed, and her tone was pleasant, and she didn't sound bothered by it at all - she didn't even mind that Alice didn't pay to listen.

She is really rich. Alice sighed silently, gaining some understanding of Audrey's ability to maintain such innocence.

Alger was silent for a long time before giving the transaction location. Alice suspected that he was regretting that he was short.

"Mr. 'The Hanged Man,' please tell me first," Alice suggested. "I will supplement it."

"Let's start with the Moss Ascetic Order. It is the earliest secret organization. Of course, many people believe that the earliest secret organizations should be the Church of the Goddess of the Night, the Church of the Mother Earth and the Church of the God of War."

"Where are the other four Orthodox Churches?" Alice asked sincerely.

"These people must be members of the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, or the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom." Audrey retorted dully.

"These truths have long been buried in that ancient history. The only thing that is certain is that no one has ever said that the Church of the Lord of Storms, the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom were once secret organizations.

"Okay, let's save time and get back to the topic. The Moss Ascetic Order was first formed by a few humans who watched the desecration of the stone tablets. They believed in an impersonal god called the Hidden Sage..."

Alger began to introduce the Moss Ascetic Order and the Hidden Sage, which was a very respected organization before the "Hidden Sage" came to life. It's like a ghost story... Alice was thinking wildly while thinking of the eyes behind Old Neil. She added: "The Moss Ascetic Order controls the 'Secret Peeper' pathway, and the Hidden Sage is suspected of this pathway. A true god or a high-sequence powerful person, he will instill knowledge from time to time to all the extraordinary people of the 'Peeper' path. Once he cannot hold on, he will go crazy."

Alice heard about the fact that secret peepers would be chased by the knowledge of the Hidden Sage after Old Neil was taken for treatment - obviously, the original eyes came from the Hidden Sage.

Next, after Alger introduced several secret organizations in turn, Alice pointed out a possible reason why the top leaders of the Witch Cult are all women: "Well... Sequence 7 of the 'Assassin' pathway is called a witch."

"Witch?" Audrey's eyes widened in surprise, "Then what happens if a man drinks the magic potion? How can he pretend to be a witch?"

Alger also experienced confusion and incomprehensible emotions.

"If a man drinks the 'witch' potion, he will no longer be considered a man. He will become a 'witch' in every sense." Alice said this. Observing Audrey and Alger carefully, she saw with satisfaction the confused expressions of the two people.

While Alice was admiring her achievements, she thought of the "Hidden Sage" who came to life because of his faith. She also thought of the assumption that believers would influence gods.

After exchanging information for a while, Klein announced that the Tarot Club was over.

……

The next morning, Alice meets Ms. Daly at Blackthorn Security.

"Good morning, Ms. Daley∽" Alice greeted Daley in a brisk tone.

"Good morning, little Alice∽" Dai Li's tone revealed a familiar frivolity, and at the same time she extended her hand to Alice.

Alice had already had the foresight to avoid Daley's sinful hands: "Please let me go - I guess you must be here to see the captain, right?"

"Oh!" Dai Li retracted her hand in disappointment, then returned to her smile and said, "I have some good news for you, little Alice∽"

"What is it?" Alice asked while staring at Daly's hand warily to prevent her from sneaking up - Daly has liked to touch her head since they met, but she is already a big child!

"I'm going to be transferred to Backlund." Dai Li replied, but this answer made Alice wary.

Alice knew Dai Li's qualifications. She had only been an Extraordinary for five years, but she had already become a Sequence 7. And unlike Alice, who accidentally swallowed the magic potion, Dai Li was really promoted step by step. This means...

Alice looked at Daley curiously: "Are you going to be promoted again?"

Dai Li nodded and left here, while Alice was lost in thought - if Dai Li's rapid promotion was due to mastering the acting method, did the church's senior leaders decide to transfer her to Baker because they guessed this? What about Rand?
This also means that the higher-ups are indeed aware of the existence of the acting method.
