Mystery: Lucky One

Alice quickly realized that she didn't need to be afraid. She, she was not as helpless as before. She took courage and left a vicious response:

"Thank you for everything!"

Amon was not angry because of this. She saw Amon chuckle lightly, as if he had passed through something, and suddenly looked up at her, and whispered in her frightened eyes:

"Found you, little Alice."

Alice suddenly withdrew her gaze. She saw a transparent figure quickly emerge in the room, and said hello to her with a smile:
"Good evening?

"Hmm...do you still care about human etiquette now?"

Alice paused and did not respond to this sentence. Instead, she asked with some uncertainty: "If I didn't respond to you, would you still be able to find me?"

Amon glanced at Alice with a half-smile, sat on the chair unceremoniously, looked up at her, and said in a very exaggerated tone:
"I'm Amon! The embodiment of fraud! Can you believe even a word of what I say?"

Alice was lost in thought.

Quietly raising her eyes and looking at Amon's half-smiling expression, Alice moved back a little guiltily, raised her head and shouted inwardly:
"I'm not wrong!"

Amon was immediately amused. He did not hide his happiness. He smiled and asked curiously: "So, what will happen if I admit it?"

Alice glanced at Him in surprise and asked, "You have already admitted it, so do you still need to say it?"

Amon looked at Alice with an expression of wonder. Alice ignored the look, took a deep breath, and asked Amon solemnly:
"Thanks.

"I...how long can my current state last?"

Amon was surprised and asked again: "I am Amon! The incarnation of fraud! Can you believe even a single word of what I say?"

Alice stretched out her hand to cover her face in pain, and her voice came out from between her fingers: "I was wrong! I won't do such a thing next time! Don't imitate me!"

"Actually, I quite like it," Amon chuckled. "As for how long it can last...well...don't you notice any problem?"

Alice raised her head in confusion.

Amon looked at her with a smile and said in a bad tone: "I won't be so kind as to explain it to you, little Alice."

After a pause of more than ten seconds, Alice asked unbearably: "Why do you have to add a small number in front of my name?"

"Don't you like it?" Amon asked in surprise, "Humans often use this way to express intimacy and affection - I like you very much, little Alice."

Alice...Alice shivered with fright.

——The love in Amon’s mouth sounds like the scariest ghost story in the world.

Amon sighed regretfully and asked with some confusion:
"I think I should be quite polite to you, right?

"Forget it before, why are you still so scared now?
"Besides, I just did you a big favor - but so far, you have only said thank you without any sincerity."

Alice thought seriously for a moment and raised an objection:
"You are obviously treating me like a toy - no, I may be worth a little more than a toy... You are obviously treating me like a pet!"

"Ah, I was discovered," Amon smiled casually, "After all, you can't ask me to treat humans as friends, right?"

Alice opened her mouth, then closed it again.

"What do you want to say?" Amon asked curiously. Alice was silent for a moment and said: "I know that there are differences in the nature of life between mortals and mythical creatures. This gap is insurmountable, so I originally wanted to say that our souls should be equal."

"Ha," Amon laughed out loud as if he heard something funny, "You actually think so?"

"No," Alice shook her head, "Gods will leave an indelible imprint on extraordinary characteristics, so even in the soul, gods and mortals are not equal."

After a pause, Alice added:
"Perhaps we are emotionally equal - assuming you have emotions, but I don't think you care about mortal emotions, just like me.

"I should have realized it a long time ago...I was just curious, eager, and imitating. Subconsciously, I never thought of myself as a human being."

"You actually discovered it." Amon's tone was both surprised and regretful.

Alice suddenly remembered the way Amon poked her sore foot, and she immediately understood what Amon was regretting, and shouted with wide eyes:

"You think of me as a pet now!"

"No, no, no," Amon shook his head and denied the statement, "I have learned about how humans raise pets. Most of the time, it is not fun, but trouble. You are much better than pets, no. So troublesome and fun.”

Alice choked, and she gritted her teeth and said to Amon: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Amon accepted this sentence with a smile without any psychological burden.

Alice was silent for a moment, then asked sincerely: "How did I please you? Can't I change it?"

Amon laughed out loud all of a sudden. He looked at Alice up and down and said seriously:
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to change. After all, your name contains the phrase 'the origin of disaster and chaos'."

Alice paused slightly, frowned and asked, "Can the honorary name be changed?"

"Why change?" Amon asked doubtfully.

"...It sounds a bit too much like an evil god," Alice replied with a frown, and then added as if she remembered something, "Wait a minute, why do you have my honorary name?!"

"You actually just discovered this?" Amon looked at Alice in surprise.

Alice lowered her head silently.

"I can't bear to lie to you anymore..." Amon said with a smile, "Forget it, have you heard of the 'Decryption Scholar'?"

Alice ignored the first half of Amon's sentence and asked tentatively: "Is this the name of a certain sequence on the 'Stealer' path?"

Amon nodded.

Alice seriously considered the feasibility of changing an honorary name that a "cryptographer" could not decipher.

Hmm...if the format is the same, why not...a reaper of desserts and ice cream?
"...This should really be difficult to decipher," Amon pushed up his monocle hesitantly, "After all, I have never seen anyone write their honorary name like this."

"You cheated!" Alice suddenly raised her head.

Amon chuckled and said:
"Isn't this normal?

“However, regarding your honorable name, I have a better proposal.

"Do you still remember? I am...'the shadow flying in the destiny'." (End of this chapter)
