Mystery: Lucky One

Alice stared at Klein without speaking.

She really couldn't remember when her real birthday was, but theoretically, her current body should have a birth date.

and so……

"I'll try to find out the date of birth of this body when I get back!" To heighten the atmosphere, Alice reached out and patted the table.

Accustomed to Alice's whining behavior, Klein didn't express any opinion on this, but instead asked in confusion:

"Why do you look so...cautious when you slap the table?"

Alice paused for a moment, then retracted her hand, pretended to sigh deeply, then looked forward and said:

"The gift of fate is not without price. I have paid a heavy price for it. I hope you will learn from me and act with caution."

"Speak in human terms." Klein spoke concisely.

Alice's expression dropped for a second, and she curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I accidentally broke the hotel table."

Klein stretched out his hand to hold his forehead.

"But I found," Alice quickly became excited again, "'Restart' is really easy to use - I no longer have to worry about eating too much! It's just a bit of a waste of food..."

Klein opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but remembering his unnamed Sequence 4, he finally chose to shut up.

He was worried that the conversation would turn into whether his high-sequence abilities would make him suitable for running a circus.

But at certain moments, Alice doesn't need anyone else to answer her call - like now:
"However, there is one thing that particularly puzzles me...

“The low-sequence abilities of Extraordinary people actually seem to be a manifestation of the authority of the true God of this path.

"Klein, what kind of authority do you think would be a circus if it was displayed at a low sequence?"

Klein didn't want to answer this question.

Alice had no intention of waiting for his answer, and then said to herself:
"But you don't seem to be a complete circus. After all, the 'tamer' is right next to the pharmacist... Why is this?"

"Alice," Klein called her expressionlessly, "Who else have you said these words to?"

"No," Alice shook her head decisively, "After all, we are the Tarot Club, not the Tarot Circus..."

"?" Klein glared at Alice.

Alice blinked twice, her eyes innocent.

Klein decisively gave up reasoning with Alice and suggested euphemistically: "If you are really bored, I can take you to meet your teacher."

"Well..." Alice did not resist as before, but instead frowned and touched her chin, "Tell me, can she tell me the whereabouts of my potion's main ingredients?"

After a pause, she added: "I have never heard of the monster in the potion formula..."

Klein was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "What is the potion formula in sequence?"

Alice pinched her eyebrows and said, "Actually, there are basically few of them that I have heard of... But what I want to ask about is the Sequence 4 ones."

"No, actually what I want to ask is...do you still need to drink the potion according to the normal procedure?" Klein shook his head and asked his real question.

Alice touched her chin and said:
"Extraordinary characteristics are definitely needed, but do you need to drink it according to the normal process... I'm not sure, but I want to drink it like this.

"Mainly, I want to know how much knowledge I have changed in the potions before...

"I always feel that He is a little too gentle with low-sequences. He actually just deleted a few warnings..."Why not put some fake ones in? "

Klein opened his mouth in surprise, and after looking at the innocent-looking Alice for more than ten seconds, he said with worry:

"I hope there are no high-sequence people like you in the 'divine' path."

Alice lowered her head silently.

Klein glanced at Alice helplessly and said tactfully:

"Sometimes I'm really glad that the church doesn't have a 'monster' potion formula, and I chose the 'divineer' potion because of Russell's diary..."

Alice suddenly fell silent. She stared at Klein and said in an unclear tone: "Are you really sure that was your decision?"

Klein was stunned.

Alice lowered her head and said slowly:
"Do you know what the high-sequence ability of the 'Destiny' pathway is?

"Powerful computing power and control of the probability of everything happening... Do you know that even in a lottery, which lot is drawn can be decided.

“I can even decide whether my words will be believed or not…

"Do you know what this means? I can completely decide a person's life, from birth to death. Every coincidence and every accident in his life is in my arrangement.

"I can leave him in no doubt about it, or I can, on a whim someday in the future, have him sit here and talk about whether he's living under someone else's control, like we are doing...

“Or maybe even my current thoughts are being controlled?

"After all, I feel...my memory seems to be fake."

Klein didn't speak. He just looked at Alice quietly. At a certain moment, he suddenly remembered the joke between him and Alice - maybe they were living in a book.

This was such a terrifying assumption that he subconsciously did not want to think deeply about this topic, but at this moment, Alice provided him with a new possibility.

Maybe they don't want to think deeply about it, but it was also arranged?

Maybe they think of this problem at the moment as well...

"Don't think about it," Alice's voice interrupted Klein's thoughts, "In fact, the answer is not that important at all, after all..."

Alice paused. She deeply forgot about Klein and then said softly:

"If we are not even aware of it, it means that we have no ability to resist.

"Do you know what's the point of knowing the answer? Anyway, there is no difference between the process and the result. It will only make you more troubled.

"If that is fate, all we can do is move in the direction of fate and wait for the opportunity..."

Alice stopped talking, her spirituality suddenly jumped, and she suddenly thought of her promotion ceremony.

Finding a turning point in the misfortune created by a strong person above the level of demigod... What happens after finding the turning point? Should he run away, or seize the opportunity to kill the opponent?

The ceremony didn't say it clearly, but Alice suddenly had an understanding.

The focus of the ritual may not be on doom, but on turning around—finding the turning point and then taking control of everything.

It is the transformation from a "winner" chosen by fate to a "mage of misfortune" who can truly control part of his own destiny. (End of chapter)
