Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 222 Chapter96 Don’t look directly at God

Leonard was thrown outside the door and was greatly shocked.

Alice's words seemed to be hinting - no, it was almost as clear as a hint. She was making something clear.

For a moment, Leonard wanted to go back to Tingen City now, dig up the grave of another "protagonist of the era" he knew, and see if it was empty.

But humans are such strange creatures. Although this was an unexpected surprise for him, he couldn't help but become afraid of it.

——Why did his former colleague fake his death?
He is eager to know the truth behind it, but he is afraid that the truth will not be what he wants.

……

Alice decided not to go to the goddess's church again before going to Bayam - she felt that the goddess didn't want to see her either.

Time passed quietly while Alice was organizing the manuscript, and three o'clock in the afternoon arrived unknowingly.

Crimson light emerged like a tide, drowning the world in front of her. Alice habitually closed her eyes and waited until the light faded before opening her eyes again.

The first person to notice the new member was "Magician" Forsi, who was sitting next to "Hermit" Cattleya. She immediately realized that there was someone next to her, and then turned around pretending not to care.

The second person to realize this was "Justice" Audrey, who was just about to stand up to greet her. While noticing the new members, she suddenly thought of a strange question:

Mr. Fool seems to have intentionally divided women on one side and men on the other side. As a god, Mr. Fool certainly cannot use gender to... Wait a minute.

Audrey suddenly looked at "The World" and Alice in confusion. If we reason from this perspective, that is to say, Mr. Fool believes that "The World" has no gender or is simply not a person, and Miss "Destiny" is a female...

Uh, okay, Miss Destiny, this should be somewhat reasonable, which means that "The World"... No, Audrey, stop, you must be overthinking!
Audrey stopped her random thoughts, stood up, and saluted in a brisk tone:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

After Klein nodded slightly in response, Audrey turned to Alger "The Hanged Man":

"Good afternoon, Mr. 'The Hanged Man'~"

After Alger responded in the same way, Audrey turned to Alice:
"Good afternoon, Miss Destiny~"

Alice tilted her head and finally realized something was wrong - she did not greet in the order of the tarot cards, but in accordance with the time of joining!

——If you greet them in order, after the Fool card, there should be the Magician card.

After realizing this, Alice shook her hand happily to show that she had received it, and then she laughed twice in her heart at Mr. Fool, who had been robbed of his leadership.

Following Audrey's greetings, Cattleya and the old members of the Tarot Club also began the classic process of sizing each other up.

The inconspicuous purple light slowly flowed in Cattleya's eyes, and her gaze naturally fell on Alice, whom she was most curious about.

The last time they met, she didn't dare to peek at Miss Destiny, who was suspected to be Mr. Fool's junior. But this time, she vaguely noticed that Miss Destiny didn't seem to be placed in the position of a god at this party, so she naturally Let go of your courage.

Different from the pajamas she wore when they met last time, this time Miss Destiny was wearing a very weird costume - at least Cattleya had never heard of the custom of putting a sack on the body. Suddenly, Alice seemed to notice her gaze and turned to look at her. Almost at that moment, she saw a fleeting light.

……Light?

Cattleya frowned slightly and focused her gaze on Alice. The purple color flowing in her eyes slowly deepened until... she saw that light again.

It seemed to surround her, seemed to envelope her, seemed to jump out of her body - Cattleya couldn't tell where the light came from, she only saw that beautiful light, It ran towards her at a speed that seemed slow but was actually unavoidable. When it was in front of her, it suddenly became bright and engulfed her.

A huge amount of information suddenly poured out of her mind. She could not distinguish the content of the information. They were broken and entangled together, and they broke into her consciousness arbitrarily, causing her spirituality to suffer a sharp pain.

"Ah!" She cried out in pain and slumped down on the chair with a pale face. She only felt that the scenery in her eyes was filled with blurred light and shadow.

In the blurry, violently shaking image, a shadow swayed closer to her. When she got close enough, she could barely tell that it was a human figure. She heard the shadow make a familiar voice:

"What... did you see in me?"

As the girl's figure came closer, she seemed to have received some kind of absolution. The dazzling light disappeared from her eyes. She noticed that her vision was slowly recovering, and the message in her mind that completely disrupted her thoughts also disappeared. Without a trace.

As her vision slowly recovered, she saw the blurry face with clear blue eyes. She heard the girl ask again: "What did you see in me?"

She opened her mouth, but didn't speak. There was only one sentence echoing in her mind:

Don’t look directly at God!
Alice noticed the flash of panic in her eyes, which made her even more confused. She frowned and asked again the question that she had always cared about:
"What exactly do you see in me?"

"...Light," Cattleya replied with a dry voice, "I see light in you."

"Light..." Alice murmured softly. She remembered the wave of light that once submerged her, and suddenly she felt that it was indeed the case.

Alice didn't comment on the answer. She turned her eyes from Cattleya inadvertently and returned to her seat without caring.

After being let go, Cattleya felt that she had regained a little strength, but she soon realized that the atmosphere at the Tarot Conference was too quiet. She lowered her body and did not dare to speak.

It wasn't until Alice slumped on the chair that she was helpless that Klein chuckled and said to the audience:

"Since she doesn't mind, let's end it here."

The stagnant atmosphere calmed down, and everyone adjusted their postures with different thoughts, thinking deeply about what had just happened.

Although the pronoun used by Mr. Fool is still "she", no one here will regard Alice as "she".

Only Cattleya stood up, lowered her head and saluted in Alice's direction:

"Sorry, my secret eye is instinctive. It can only be strengthened and cannot be turned off. It must be sealed with magical items..."

Alice tilted her head, holding her chin and replied:
"In fact, I just realized that the Eye of Secret can see problems in me..."
