Mystery: Lucky One

After Alice was quiet for a few seconds, she just whispered: "...I'm sorry."

After a pause, she tried to explain: "I didn't mean to hide it from you. There are some things about me that are not good for ordinary people to know..."

"I know," Evelin chuckled, "I know... knowing too much is not a good thing."

Alice opened her mouth to say something, but Evelin suddenly asked: "Can I know your real name?"

"...you?" Alice repeated the title, the smile on her face disappeared, "You called me 'you'?"

She stared at Evelin, and a few seconds later, she heard Evelin ask: "Shouldn't I call you that?"

"I thought..." Alice stared at Evelyn and said, "We were friends."

Evelin looked at Alice for a while, then suddenly held her forehead tiredly, sighed and said, "Have you really ever regarded me as a friend?"

Alice was stunned for a moment. She suddenly didn't know how to respond. She suddenly realized that she couldn't actually define a relationship. She only knew that some people were more important than others, that's all.

Such silence was regarded as acquiescence by Evelin. She lowered her eyes and asked:

"At that time...the person who saved me from that monster...was you?"

Alice did not speak, and Evelin did not wait for her answer, and continued:
"You know me, I am an extraordinary person, and you must have known me not long ago...

“Actually, when I first heard these conditions, the first thing that came to my mind was you.

"What a coincidence. You just showed up and you happened to be hiding a lot of secrets. And sometimes you spoke... how should I put it? There was a feeling that you would understand immediately upon hearing it, that you definitely don't belong here.

"You said we are friends, but I don't know your origin or your past. I didn't even see your real face until today, and until now, I don't even know your real name.

"We are friends?"

Alice couldn't refute this, so she had to explain aloud:

"Evelin, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I didn't know many things at that time...

"You can call me Alice and not tell you my past. On the one hand, you know that those secrets are not suitable for ordinary people. On the other hand, my identity at the time... was somewhat problematic.

"Besides, past experience tells me that being too involved with me is never a good thing..."

Alice paused for a moment when she said this. She recalled Song Shu's frightened look in her memory at the end, and suddenly wondered how she was doing now.

However, this could no longer be explored. Alice sighed softly, recalling the picture that had faded away and become clear.

Song Shu, who was chattering to her and saying "a born monster", suddenly became frightened at a certain moment, followed by severe pain, and her vision began to blur. The last thing Alice remembered was Song Shu's smiling face.

...smiley face?
Alice's face suddenly turned pale, and she realized that in the last blurry vision, she had actually seen the curve of the corner of Song Shu's mouth, but it was too unrealistic and unbelievable, so she had been subconsciously ignoring it.

Maybe she just saw it wrong? How could anyone smile over the death of a close friend? This will never happen, right...?

Before she could think about it, Evelin sighed and spoke:

"I know...I'm not angry, I just understand something I didn't understand before.

"Being able to scare away the 'demon' in a ritual with a face-to-face meeting is definitely not something that ordinary extraordinary people can do. You must be very powerful, or you must be hiding some big secret.

"I just think, I'm worried that your performance is very funny." Alice's movements paused slightly.

"By the way," Evelin said as if she remembered something, "You know Leonard, right? During your absence, he wanted to find you... He said he wanted to ask something."

Alice frowned slightly.

She thought of Evelin's words, "Knowing too much is not a good thing." Looking at Evelin who suddenly mentioned Leonard, she suddenly realized that Evelin's words just now might be deliberately irritating her.

Alice bit her lip, lowered her eyes in mock disappointment, and said softly:
“No matter what, we are all emotionally equal.

"Worrying about your friends and wanting to help your friends is not a funny thing."

After a pause, Alice's eyes swept over the brooch on her chest and the eyes behind her, and finally fell on the door that was tightly blocked by Evelyn, and suddenly asked:

"Evelin, aren't you going to invite me in for a sit-down?"

She didn't wait for Evelin to answer, but launched an attack directly.

Mage of Doom: Wave of Doom: Impacts the opponent's spirit, affecting the opponent's thinking and perception, making them prone to making mistakes, in a trance, and prone to misfortune in the next period of time.

Of course, when the strength gap is too large, it is not impossible to directly cause death.

But Alice's goal was not to kill Evelin. Knowing this, she carefully controlled her force while quietly reducing the probability of Evelin's death to the lowest possible level.

Alice saw Evelin's body staggering, her face turning pale, and her expression a little dazed. Alice then passed her and entered the room that had been blocked by her.

In the layout of Evelin's house, the living room is right in front of the door. The unobstructed view tells Alice that the reason why Evelin tried to drive her away was not in the living room.

Alice was about to go in and take a look, but suddenly she heard the sound of her knees hitting the ground.

……ah?

She turned around with confused eyes, only to see Evelin looking at her with tearful eyes, and said with a cry:

"Briel, please, please help me, I really don't know what to do...

"Help me, please..."

Alice was lost in thought.

...So this is what it means to be prone to making mistakes and to be in a trance!

She stepped forward, hesitantly bent down to help Evelin up, and whispered: "You get up first, you have to explain what's going on before I can help you..."

Evelin stood up slowly under her irresistible force, then the sole of her foot slipped and she almost fell back to her knees - luckily she was able to hold her back.

Alice fell into thought again.

"Briel, I really don't know what to do, wuwuwu..." Evelin was unaware of this. She hugged Alice and cried incoherently.

Ah this.

After being silent for a few seconds, the inexperienced Alice knocked Evelin out mercilessly and contacted Klein:
"Ask me where Miss Justice is. I may need a psychiatrist here." (End of Chapter)
