Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 187 Chapter 61 Let’s use the middle finger as a secret signal!

After Emlyn emphasized "He is a pure Vampire" and "The Vampires have never been like this" countless times, Alice finally let him go.

Afterwards, Derrick "The Sun" asked another question: "Dear Mr. Fool, what gesture should we use when we thank you?"

gesture? Klein was stunned for a moment.

As a false god, he never thought...Alice, what hand are you raising!

The gray mist obscured Klein's expression and blocked his angry sight. Alice received nothing and continued to raise her hand.

Klein was silent for a moment, and finally asked in a calm voice: "What do you think?"

Alice stood up and gave him the middle finger.

This friendly gesture regardless of race, nationality, or even world successfully made Klein fall into deep thought.

Even though they knew that the answer that made Miss Destiny so excited would not be a normal answer, Audrey, Alger and Forsi still lowered their heads pretending not to see anything.

Emlyn even made a guess unconsciously: So did Miss Destiny come from the "Hunter" path? It doesn’t even look like it…

"No, I'm serious," Alice said plausibly, "Look, as long as we give each other the middle finger when we meet, no one will know that we are actually members of a secret organization. This is our secret code, everyone. They just think we have a grudge.”

Alger pondered for a moment and then said: "Unless someone can resist Mr. Fool and enter here directly..."

Klein fell into deep thought.

The only ones present who still raised their heads were Derrick who was hesitant to speak and Emlyn who looked shocked.

After taking a look at Audrey who was working hard, Alger decided to join her:

"No, I don't think it's a good idea to design a unified gesture.

In fact, it wasn't just Klein who was lost in thought, because...why did it sound so reasonable? !

Mr. Fool must have had a hard time before... Audrey looked at Mr. Fool who was silent in the gray fog, and suddenly felt a heartfelt sympathy.

"After all, Amon is very good at stealing things... It's a pity that he didn't tell me whether he can pick locks with hair."

She took a deep breath, adjusted her smile, and decided to save the scene: "Miss Destiny, we can design a few more actions and finally choose the most suitable one."

His words suddenly stopped, he looked at Alice who raised her hand, and asked hesitantly: "...Is there really someone who can do it?"

Alice knocked on the table and replied:
"Well...if it's Mr. Fool now, Amon should be able to do it.

"Compared with other secret organizations, one of the most striking features of our Tarot Society is that the members do not know each other. Even if, uh, I will give you the most extreme example, even if one of our members is arrested and tortured, It won’t affect other people…”

"...Sit down." Klein endured it again and again before keeping his tone unchanged.

Derrick, who was the first to propose this idea, had never felt so regretful.

While Alger was speaking, Alice sat down thoughtfully, holding her chin and continuing to listen to him.

When Alice said the first half of her sentence, Alger thought carefully.

When Alice said the second half of her sentence, Alger decided to pretend not to hear.

After all, if you say she is down-to-earth, the person she is talking about is the King of Angels; if you say she is not down-to-earth, the content she is talking about is whether the power of "stealing" can be used to pick locks with hair. I don’t know what the authority of other true gods looks like in the eyes of Miss Destiny...

While Alger's thoughts were spinning a thousand times, Alice had already started a new round of divergent thinking:

“However, if you raise the middle finger, it will be embarrassing if the other party is really just provoking.

"Well, you've heard of Morse code... uh, do you still call this thing Morse code now?

"It's just using long and short sounds to express letters..."

This name made Alger raise his eyes slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "Are you talking about the Gustav code invented by Emperor Russell?"

This name successfully made Alice fall into deep thought. She organized her words and said: "How old is he?"

Alger became confused. After the gray fog, Klein quickly used the clown's extraordinary ability to prevent Mr. Fool from laughing.

Alice blinked twice and translated the sentence: "Why is it always him?"

Alger closed his mouth hesitantly, not sure whether he should accept this sentence.

Alice tilted her head and continued:

"Anyway, you know the Mor... Gustav code, it's so annoying, why does he have to change his name?
"Anyway, it's good that you guys know this. We can use the middle finger of the left hand and the middle finger of the right hand to replace the long sound and the short sound respectively, and compare our code names when we meet..."

Alger fell into deep thought.

Objectively speaking, aside from Alice's disagreement with giving the middle finger, this is indeed a practical code.

...But why do you have to give the middle finger!

Of course, Alger himself didn't actually care about what gestures Tarot would use as a code. He was more concerned about the information Alice inadvertently leaked - Morse code?
Alice's words undoubtedly revealed that there was indeed some connection between Emperor Russell and her. For example, the Gustav code invented by Russell once had a name called Morse code.

Is this how they used to communicate?

Of course he would not ask this question, and reminded:
"Miss Destiny, we hide our identities as members of the Tarot Society not to hide existences like Amon, but to prevent investigations by major forces."

Alice nodded thoughtfully, accepting the statement.

So Alger continued to propose:

“If we need a way to confirm our identity, we can learn in advance the possibility of meeting or conflicting with a certain member at Monday’s Tarot gathering, and design a set of temporary gestures or codes in advance.

“Just like you did last time.

"Of course, this must also take into account emergencies that are too late to communicate. Mr. Fool, if we encounter a special situation where we are somewhat suspicious and unable to communicate, can we confirm it by praying to you?"

Klein nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay."

While agreeing, Klein solemnly thanked Alger in his heart - after all, he couldn't imagine members of the Tarot Club giving each other the middle finger when they met.

Mr. Fool secretly admired it in his heart and decided to start learning Alger's speaking skills from today.
