Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Luck and Disaster

Alice found herself sitting in a classroom, with bright lights, and the teacher was explaining the main points of the lesson.

She lowered her head and saw a name written in neat handwriting on the textbook - Class 2 (), Shen Yinghuan.

Alice immediately combined the name with Huanhuan. She subconsciously looked around, trying to find the girl who had been by her side every time before... Hey, why isn't she there?

The light suddenly shook, and Alice raised her head, oh, it was the light... Why was the light shaking? !
No, it's not just the lamps, tables, chairs, the floor... the whole building is shaking!

Next, she lost this brief moment of control over her body, and she felt herself starting to run, surrounded by screams, cries, and footsteps...

This school must have received few earthquake drills. Alice thought absentmindedly. She noticed that her body was gradually getting tired from running fast. She began to gasp for air and began to be out of breath, but she did not dare to stop.

She could see the floor shaking more and more violently, as if it was about to collapse; she saw gravel, light tubes, and fans falling from the ceiling from time to time; she saw a teacher standing at the entrance of the stairs, responsible for guiding the students. Responsibilities...

Alice ran and ran and ran and ran until...

A huge stone slab fell from the sky. Alice felt that all the muscles in her body were stiff. The passage of time seemed to slow down. She watched the huge shadow getting closer and closer to her...

"Teacher——!" Alice was awakened by her own shrill scream, and she realized that she did not die as she imagined, but was saved.

Saved...?
She stared blankly at the woman whose body was half pressed under the stone slab—this was her class teacher.

Stern yet gentle, knowledgeable and patient... She is the most popular teacher in this school, bar none. Even the "bad students" who love to torment the teacher are not willing to embarrass the teacher.

In my impression, this teacher lives frugally and spends most of her salary to support students. She treats every student with the same gentleness and patience. Even the "poor students" who have been abandoned by other teachers can still be treated with her gentleness. of relief.

The students privately nicknamed this teacher "Mom"...

And now, in order to save herself...

Tears blurred Alice's eyes, and her feet seemed to be stuck to the floor, unwilling to move forward, so she heard the familiar, hoarse cry: "Huanhuan, run quickly, don't look back!"

That sound seemed to break some kind of imprisonment, and Alice started running amidst that shout. Tears kept flowing down her face, but Alice didn't even bother to wipe her tears. She just kept running like that until she escaped from the teaching building. , running towards the playground.

But this is far from the end of this disaster - the head teacher who died trying to save her seems to be just the beginning.

Alice saw another similar scene: Facing the sudden crack in the ground, her classmates subconsciously pushed her away. She was caught off guard and fell into the abyss instantly. As the crack closed, she seemed to still be able to hear the screams of her classmates.

This is also not the last similar scene. In the aftershocks and in the process of disaster relief, there are countless similar incidents that happen. It seems to be like this forever - you happen to encounter an unavoidable disaster, you happen to be rescued, you happen to watch The person who saved her died in front of her eyes... Alice clenched her fists in pain, watching herself holding a pen and writing down the words she had seen once on the paper: "Use luck sparingly and avoid Splurge.”

At this moment, Alice finally realized that all of this was a price.

But why, if I do something wrong myself, do the people around me have to pay the price? Alice asked herself softly, but she knew the answer well - because she loved them, the death of the one she loved could be the price.

When she woke up from her dream, the pillow and quilt were already soaked with tears. Alice got up silently, then slowly leaned against the door, squatted down, hugged her knees and cried loudly.

In fact, Alice still hasn't remembered enough memories to complete her life as Shen Yinghuan. Even those who died in front of her, except for the class teacher who impressed her most, she can't remember the names of most of them, let alone their common identity. experience.

But Alice remembered the real pain.

The pain without memory was like rootless duckweed. It slowly subsided and disappeared during her fierce crying. When the crying stopped, Alice could still recall the painful feeling, but she no longer had the feeling. An immersive feeling of suffocation and numbness.

But this does not mean that Alice has forgotten what she remembered in the dream - she needs to pay the price of misfortune for being lucky, and she cannot control how and how unlucky she is.

Theoretically, if your misfortune and luck are both controllable, you just need to keep them conserved to a certain extent. In fact, it is very simple - you can be more unlucky in small things in exchange for Luck in big things.

And Alice's pain comes from exactly this - she will be particularly lucky during a certain period of time, and then particularly unlucky at a certain period of time to repay her luck, but she cannot control the time and extent.

So, finally, during a certain unfortunate period, an earthquake happened, and then there were the scenes that Alice saw in her dream - deaths that made her extremely painful until she was numb.

Therefore, after the earthquake, Shen Yinghuan, who was unable to control her own destiny, made a major decision - she would try to avoid withdrawing her luck as much as possible during the lucky period, in order to reduce the occurrence of misfortunes.

But, I am no longer Shen Yinghuan. Alice looked at herself, and an idea suddenly emerged from her heart. Shen Yinghuan's fate has not followed, and I do not have the ability to gain luck and delay paying the price...

But Alice is still wary. She will not forget that there is a descendant of the evil god hidden in Tingen City, and she does not want the Nighthawks and the people of Tingen City to be the price one day in the future - even if only There was a 10,000 chance that she would have to pay something for her former luck, so that the evil god's descendant would explode, and this price was something she could not bear.

This kind of worry and vigilance made Alice wary of the luck of the lucky. She suddenly thought of a question she had never thought about before: "If I rely on the gifts of fate to become a lucky person, then when fate withdraws its gifts, How do I make sure I’m still lucky?”

"Only by being fully prepared can you ensure that you will always be lucky..."

To Alice's surprise, this realization touched the outer shell of the Extraordinary Characteristics, and a refreshing sense of feedback came from the Extraordinary Characteristics. Alice realized that the Extraordinary Characteristics of the Lucky One, which she had not shown any obvious signs of digestion, appeared for the first time. digestive feedback.

"So, the core of the Lucky One's role is not to rely on luck?"

　There is a reason for Shen Yinghuan's luck. Listen to me make it up.
