Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Lanerwus’s child

Alice is confused now.

She was originally walking on the way to the Divination Club. At this time, the horse of a public carriage on the roadside suddenly went crazy for some reason. Although the driver tried his best to control it, the carriage was also heading straight in the direction of Alice. Rushed over.

Alice was so frightened that she froze in place. She felt that she should do something, but her body was so frightened that she could not move, so she could only watch the carriage rushing towards her - and then tripped on a tree and was scattered. The passerby hit the pole and fell in front of Alice.

Alice could even feel the gust of wind when the carriage rushed toward her. She was so frightened that she received the carriage driver's apology. She refused the compensation uneasily and left here.

But why...this thrilling scene made her feel inexplicably familiar? It was as if she had experienced this kind of coincidence countless times - a brush with death due to weird accidents, but she remained unscathed.

When Alice stepped into the Divination Club with this confusion, three people passed by Alice. Alice noticed that her inspiration seemed to be touched. She subconsciously looked in the direction they left. The faces of the three people But the back figure had disappeared at the corner of the stairs, and she only had time to see half of the lotus leaf hat.

"Alice?" Klein was surprised to notice Alice's arrival, and he was the first to give a reminder.

Alice, who didn't notice anything was wrong, quickly closed her eyes, walked to the place where the voice came from, and sat down: "I didn't expect to meet you here."

The words that should have been spoken by Klein made him silent - after all, it was normal for him to appear here to summarize the rules of playing a fortune teller!

"You seem to be very famous here, Mr. Seer." Alice relied on the fact that she could not see Klein's expression, and started chatting with Klein with the mentality that as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be the ones to be embarrassed.

Klein, who had a certain understanding of Alice's character, decided to take control of the topic: "Did you know? I just heard about a nasty fraudster."

"How hateful is it?" Alice asked curiously.

"He took away more than 10,000 pounds of money!" Klein's tone contained inexplicable grief and anger.

"...What's his name?" This amount made Alice feel a little emotional.

"Lairwuss, his name is Lanlvus," Klein replied. "Just now, two of his victims came to me for divination. They have already called the police. The police also take it seriously, and they are willing to recover from it." Use part of your money as a reward, and you can get 10 pounds for providing valid clues. If you can help the police catch Lanerwus, you can get 100 pounds in cash!"

Alice marveled at the generosity of these two men for a moment, and then she asked: "But didn't he defraud him of ten thousand pounds?"

Klein's thoughts were disrupted for a moment. He recalled the logic of the conversation before confirming what Alice meant: "These two are not the only victims."

Alice nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Didn't you try to divine the location of Brannius?"

"I would like to try," Klein made no secret of his coveting the bounty, "but there is no information, and even the name is most likely fake, and I don't have it with me... Well, I can't say it's not there."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Alice asked.

"Lervus's girlfriend is pregnant with his child..." Klein replied hesitantly.

Alice thought of the inspiration she had just been touched and the trio she had missed for some reason, and her smile suddenly disappeared. She asked, "Did Lanervus's girlfriend just leave before I came here?"

Klein was slightly startled. He didn't understand the intention of Alice's question, but he was infected by Alice's sudden serious attitude and replied: "Yes, those two victims were the girlfriends of Lan Erwus. They came together and left just before you left, so you should have bumped into them."

So Alice said to Klein: "We need a convenient place to talk."

Klein received this hint, and that night, they met above the gray fog. "What do you want to say?" Klein asked impatiently.

So Alice frowned and spoke:

"I encountered a car accident this afternoon...

"The car accident had no consequences in the end. It just delayed time and caused me to pass by...the people you mentioned at the door.

"And when we passed each other, there was a girl wearing a ruffled hat among them... she must be Lanerwus' girlfriend? She touched my inspiration."

Klein did not speak. He suddenly remembered the spiritual vision that he had failed to remember after being interrupted. He suddenly realized that there must be something wrong with that Megoose.

"Klein?" Alice asked in confusion as she looked at Klein, who had not spoken for a long time.

"...In the afternoon, I wanted to activate her spiritual vision, but I forgot." Klein said softly.

"..." Alice pursed her lips, and after a while she spoke hesitantly, "Maybe, I mean maybe, we will be in danger if we see her?"

"But there's no danger of even looking at it..." Klein didn't finish his words, because he suddenly realized that there was something he couldn't look at - gods, or mythical creatures.

"That child...?" They looked at each other and said nothing.

……

The next morning, they made a rare trip to Dunn's office together.

Under Dunn's gaze, Klein couldn't wait to speak:

"Captain, when I was in the divination club yesterday, I met the victims of the Lanrevus fraud case. They wanted me to divine the whereabouts of Lanrevus. I told them that they must have Lanrevus's personal belongings, and then They suggested that divination could be done through the children of Lanreus.

"They brought Megoose, the mother of Lanervus' child. Megoose was behaving very strangely. I wanted to try to see her, but..."

"But he forgot." Alice took over what Klein said. "Yesterday afternoon, I originally wanted to go to the Divination Club, but I had a car accident on the road. When I arrived, I happened to meet Miss Megoose. I passed her by, and she inspired me."

After a pause, Alice added: "I also couldn't see Megoose."

"Do you suspect that there is something wrong with that child?" Dunn clarified Alice and Klein's thoughts.

"Spirituality is warning Klein not to look at that child, and fate helps me avoid the possibility of seeing that child... Captain, tell me, what kind of child is it that cannot be looked at directly?" Alice asked. Tossed to Dunn.

"Which district did this incident take place in? What is the faith of the Megoos family?" Dunn began to ask as usual.

"Langerwuth's steel company is located in the South District. As for Miss Megoos... their family believes in the God of Steam and Machinery." This was Klein's answer.

So Dunn signaled them to go back first. He needed to negotiate with the Punisher and the Mechanical Heart. Klein and Alice could only obey - after all, even if they wanted to take a sneak peek at Megoose, they had to go secretly.
