Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Dreamland
When told that she would have dinner with Klein in the evening, Alice refused at first.

But there is no way, who made this a party? Alice finally appeared at this dining table, so in addition to Klein, who had just finished an afternoon of fighting training and couldn't eat, there was another Alice here who protested against eating with her eyes closed.

"This is Alice Kingsley. Even if you haven't met her, you should know something about her." Dunn introduced. After all, Alice often appeared in the Blackthorn Security Company recently. She had never met most of them before, and she really lacked a formal meeting and introduction.

Alice quickly noticed a few glances. She was not surprised, or in other words, she found it strange that people who knew her affairs didn't look at her.

Dunn picked up the glass of red wine in front of him and continued: "Let us welcome the new official member, Klein Moretti, cheers!"

Klein endured the discomfort and picked up the champagne, and Alice also raised the juice in front of her...well, it was orange juice.

For this dinner, Alice specially found a piece of white cloth that was not very light-blocking. She could distinguish what was in front of her under bright enough light. Well, the requirements for seeing the abnormality on Klein seemed to be very strict. …

Alice's unusual attire quickly attracted the attention of the Nighthawks who didn't know what happened between her and Klein. After Klein put down his wine glass, Siga Teon asked curiously: "Alice, why are you looking like this?" dress up?"

"Ha," Alice responded in a melodious aria, "because there is a secret hidden in the fate of our Mr. Moretti that cannot be seen directly."

Others looked at Klein curiously because of Alice's words, and Klein successfully showed the overwhelmed embarrassment that Alice expected.

With her desire for revenge satisfied, Alice calmed down and drank orange juice contentedly. At this time, she suddenly realized the benefits of being a child - for example, she could drink childish sweet drinks on such occasions, and she could use such pranks to express her dissatisfaction to Klein, even if Klein didn't actually do it. Did something wrong.

After the food in front of Klein was eaten by Leonard and others, the waiter also brought out portions of pudding and ice cream - this was Alice's favorite time during the meal.

She quickly finished her portion of the ice cream topped with blueberry juice, and when she was considering asking for another, Dunn suggested: "Come here, let's drink another toast to Klein."

Before he finished speaking, Klein blurted out: "Captain, can I have some dinner?"

During the silence between everyone, Alice followed closely: "Captain, I also want an ice cream!"

People laughed, and by the time Alice finished her second helping of ice cream, Dunn's steak with black pepper sauce was served.

Alice looked at Klein eating the steak and licked her lips. She was disappointed that she couldn't taste the remaining sweetness. Then she looked at Dunn expectantly and whispered: "Captain∽"

"You can't have a third helping of ice cream." Dunn ruthlessly refused the request.

Alice curled her lips and tapped the table listlessly, waiting for Klein to finish.

...At night, Alice suddenly woke up from her dream, but unlike waking up, she quickly realized that she was still in a dream... Well, because she was in a room made of desserts, and this room was made of cakes. The wall and the table made of chocolate are filled with ice cream...

Looking at Dunn, who was sitting opposite and looking at her expressionlessly, Alice felt that she understood the reason for her sobriety.

But Dunn didn't say a word, just stared at Alice quietly. At first, Alice could continue to eat ice cream with the mentality of not eating it for nothing, but Dunn kept watching and watching, and Alice gradually felt that eating ice cream became a a form of torture.

This is really a complete nightmare... Alice, who had lost her happiness, thought silently in her heart. She began to regret the words she reminded Dunn at that time... It should not only be herself, but also Ms. Dai Li. I wonder if Klein has No reminder...

Alice realized that the captain was probably still trying and looking for ways to play Nightmare. Thinking of the three years she had spent in Lucky One, she suddenly wanted to reflect on her attitude.

…But there’s no point in introspecting! The "Monster" path is not like the "Sleepless One" path. The church has no magic potion formula at all!

Hey, come to think of it, why can she stay awake in her dreams?

Alice suddenly realized something. She recalled the first time that Dunn entered her dream to question her. She was actually awake at that time - for example, she selectively concealed that she actually remembered that the unlucky courier saw her. I was frightened when I woke up suddenly.

Moreover, after Dunn entered her dream, the scene in the dream also changed...

This kind of power could never belong to her. Alice, who realized this, suddenly felt a kind of fear - she had always lacked awe of extraordinary power, but at this moment, she really felt a sense of fear. fear.

Who had tampered with her dream? Can that unknown existence keep her awake in the dream, or can it allow her to die unconsciously in the dream one day? Or will he fall asleep and become a vegetative state?
Just thinking about these assumptions made Alice feel scared, as well as her lost memory, and the process of becoming an extraordinary person seemed to have been arranged for her.

Like a puppet on strings... Alice thought to herself, and for a moment, she even suspected that she was a character written by someone, and that all her experiences, thoughts, and behaviors were under control.

So, if this is the case, will her suspicion about this matter at this moment also be written by someone?
Alice shuddered and dismissed this terrifying and dangerous thought, but the dream could not be maintained because of her fear and gradually shattered. She woke up from the dream and opened her eyes to see the holy symbol of the goddess of the night. .

Alice had never felt that the holy symbol of the goddess of the night was so reassuring. She remembered that the goddess had the authority to sleep, closed her eyes, and prayed silently in her heart:

"Goddess of Night, nobler than the stars and more ancient than eternity, Lord of Crimson, Mother of Secrets, Queen of Disaster and Fear, Lord of Sleep and Silence, please grant me rest and a sweet dream."

The prayer seemed to have an effect. Alice's fear slowly dissipated, and she fell into a deep dream again. Judging from the smile that slowly raised at the corner of her mouth, this should indeed be a sweet dream.

　This is the closest Alice will ever get to the truth (that tone)
