Mystery: Lucky One

After calling Klein, Alice thought for a while, then gently picked up Evelin from the ground, looked around, and placed her on the sofa.

...So being in a trance shouldn't be the case, right? It can't be right?
After staring at Evelin on the sofa for two seconds, Alice decided to go to the bedroom and bring Evelin out with the quilt.

The weather in early February had not yet warmed up, and it was still a time when it was easy to catch cold. Alice knew the location of Evelin's room, so she turned her head and frowned.

Alice walked over quickly and crouched down, looking level with the blood-red eyes under the door handle - where the lock cylinder should have been.

"Amon should really come and see this scene...ah!" Alice muttered to herself, then suddenly screamed and fell to the ground.

——That eye is moving.

"No, it's better not to show it to Amon," Alice quickly changed her mind, "Be brave, Alice, what can a Sequence 9 Beyonder do?"

Alice made enough mental preparations for herself, and then retreated to the sofa while staring at the rolling eyeball.

Alice didn't intend to go in just like that, although she subconsciously felt that a Sequence 9 Beyonder couldn't do anything big, but...should we wait until Evelin woke up and asked about the situation?
You can be reckless, but there is no need to be reckless.

But what can I say about this thing...it's still weird.

Alice stared in that direction intently. After staring for more than ten seconds, she decided to turn her eyes.

……a bit tired.

After waiting on the sofa for who knows how long, Alice finally heard Audrey's prayer. She was so moved that she grabbed Evelin and disappeared.

Meeting Audrey's shocked gaze, Alice blinked and suddenly realized that she could actually leave the weird situation at Evelin's house to the Church of the Night to deal with...

Forget it, let's talk about it when we get back... Alice curled her lips, looked at Audrey and said, "Help me... help me find out what happened to her."

After a pause, she added: "It's not an interrogation."

Audrey was stunned for a moment, took Evelin from Alice's hand, sat her down on a chair, and asked tentatively: "Is this your friend?"

After Alice was silent for a moment, she made a subtle "hmm" sound.

Audrey glanced at Evelin hesitantly and asked tentatively: "Is there any way you can wake her up?"

Alice stared at Evelin and thought for a while, then walked forward and tried the pinching method in her memory.

This method was undoubtedly effective. Evelin opened her eyes with a painful expression. Alice retracted her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

It turns out that it really hurts to wake someone up... Alice was distracted and looked at Evelin.

Evelin's expression was dazed for a moment. She looked at Alice who was leaning over to look at her. After blinking a few times, she slowly regained her consciousness, but still shouted in a daze: "Brelle."

Even if she said her real name, she was still more accustomed to calling me Brielle... That's right, Brielle Rose was her friend, and I...

In her complicated thoughts, Alice heard Evelin's question after consideration: "What should I call you?"

After Alice stared at her for more than ten seconds, she suddenly straightened up, sat unceremoniously on the main seat reserved for Audrey, and chuckled:

"If you follow the agreed rules, you should probably call me... Your Majesty?
"But so far, Miss Destiny sounds more accustomed to her."

"Your Majesty..." Evelin showed a bewildered expression. She was in a daze for a moment, and finally sighed and said, "Are you the goddess's... favorite?" Audrey, who was standing next to Alice's seat, looked at her in surprise. He glanced at Evelin, then looked at Alice before hesitating to speak.

Alice raised her head and glanced at Audrey, but did not respond to her doubts. Instead, she raised a smile and said to Evelin:
"If one of us had to be placed in the position of being the favored one, in the past, Dark Night should have been my favored one."

Evelin's body suddenly froze.

Audrey's body shook slightly.

"Do you still remember what you did before, Evelyn?" Alice's smile suddenly became more sincere, "And, Audrey, in order to prevent you from falling down later, I suggest you sit down."

Evelin's body stiffened even more, and she sat there not knowing what to do.

Audrey, who was scared for the first time, had a good psychological quality. She sat down next to Evelin obediently and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, great Miss Fate."

After Alice stared at her for two seconds, she covered her face with her hands in pain and said in a changed voice:

"Don't call me that to my face!"

After a pause, in order to make Audrey feel more involved, she raised her head, put her hand on her chest, and said in an aria with a solemn expression:
"Oh, nice to meet you, Backlund's most dazzling gem.

"Your beauty is so radiant. As soon as I see you, I fall in love with you unconsciously and feel deeply fascinated by you.

"Oh, my dear, you are so beautiful, so kind, so charming..."

Looking at Audrey, whose expression was gradually losing control, Alice stopped and asked seriously: "Do you understand now?"

Audrey nodded with difficulty and said: "Yes, I completely understand what you mean, Miss Destiny."

Evelin stared at this scene blankly, and suddenly jumped out: "So, is your true character like this?"

Alice's movements paused. She was used to thinking a little, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she could only whisper:

"Evelyn, I'm not your friend anymore, am I?"

Evelin didn't answer, she lowered her head, but Alice jumped off the chair, walked up to her, forced her to raise her head and said:
“In this case, Evelyn, you now have two choices.

"Believe in me or die."

Evelin raised her head, her familiar blue eyes were gentle and sad, but the words she spoke were not at all as playful as in the past, but instead carried a condescending arrogance and indifference.

She is not a fool, she understands what Alice means - now that she knows the secret, she will either be completely unable to escape from her control, or she will completely lose the ability to reveal the secret.

"Of course," Evelin said calmly, "I am willing to believe in you."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, she showed a sincere smile, and said in a light voice: "Recite my honorable name, and then...leave your blood."

After skillfully drooping her eyelids and covering the color under her eyes with shadows, Alice let go of the relaxed and sad mood.

——That's good. At least, an ordinary believer cannot be used as a bargaining chip to threaten her. (End of chapter)
