Mystery: Lucky One

Klein swore that he wanted to stop it.

But when he opened his mouth, air rushed into his respiratory tract and he suddenly started coughing violently and uncontrollably, so he could only cough while watching Alice finish the sentence shyly.

As expected of you, destiny.

Amyrius would never take this statement seriously. After a moment's thought, he looked at German Sparrow.

Klein recovered from his coughing, met Amyrius' gaze, and replied calmly:

"These are Miss Cynthia's last words."

After a dozen seconds of silence, Amyrius turned to Alice and nodded.

"Thank you."

This made Alice choke up, and she realized that Amyrius's thanks were sincere - no matter what her purpose was in doing what she had just done, she did bring back Cynthia's last words.

Such feedback suddenly made Alice feel a little bad. It was a feeling that made her heart depressed. Alice knew what it meant - it was guilt.

She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't apologize as naturally as she did to Klein.

Alice bit her lip and kicked Klein's calf with her foot. As Klein looked at her in disbelief, she said dryly to Amyrius:

"You're welcome."

Alice's figure disappeared from the spot. Klein unobtrusively moved the muscles of his calves and suppressed the urge to bare his teeth in front of Alice.

In fact, it wasn’t as painful as when her eyes exploded, but it was already a very ruthless way for her to vent her anger... Klein sighed in his heart and asked Amyrius:
"Is there anything else you would like to know?"

Amyrius withdrew his gaze from the two of them. The subtle loneliness in him completely disappeared. He spoke in a low but majestic voice:

"What exactly happened?"

Klein did not hide much. He started by telling the story of his pants falling down in front of Auston, then mentioned the warning from the mysterious man in the dream, and finally recounted Cynthia's change and everyone's reactions.

Klein did not describe the specific course of the battle in detail. He only mentioned that the "Ninth Law" spell isolated external influences, and he pushed all the rest onto Alice.

He also described to Amyrius the subsequent investigation results and Alice's pranks on other people. Of course, he avoided the fact that the actual target of the "Mother Tree of Desire" was his business, and did not mention Alice's arrangement of Adam.

Amyrius's expression changed from shock and hesitation at first to gradual numbness. Finally, he spoke to the deep voice:

"The mysterious man who invaded your dreams emphasized the fate and trend of the times?"

"Yes." Klein, who had regained his appearance as Gehrman Sparrow, replied.

Amyrius glanced at Klein and then confirmed, "You kept my appearance in your dream?"

"Yes." Klein confirmed this, but did not explain further.

Amyrius also did not ask further questions about this matter. He paced silently in a small area for a few steps, then looked back at Gehrman Sparrow and said:
"Your choice is no problem."

Five-star praise!

Infected by Alice's strange idea, Klein excitedly felt the feedback from the digestion of the potion, and suddenly had a new idea.

Hey, if I were Alice...

"I have a question," Alice's voice interrupted Klein's thoughts, "Did you intend to sign a contract with him from the beginning?" Amyrius's gaze naturally slid to Alice, who had adjusted her emotions, and said in an emotionless voice:
"I originally had no intention of signing a contract with the double. Instead, I was going to inform Cynthia that I had signs of losing control and that I couldn't get close to her for five days. But later on, for some reason, I changed my mind."

Someone helped me... Klein was acutely aware of this and subconsciously asked, "What's the reason?"

Before Amyrius could answer, Alice turned her head and said:
"It's no use asking... A good 'writer' won't leave his or her name behind."

Klein immediately understood who Alice suspected. This person was indeed one of the suspicious candidates, and Alice did point out a core issue - if the other party helped him but didn't say it, then there was a high probability that he didn't want to show up for the time being.

Klein did not ask any more questions. Instead, he took out the broken pendant and handed it to Amyrius.
"This is the 'Fertility Necklace' from the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."

Alice added half a sentence for Klein: "You can try..."

The force came from her sleeve. Alice closed her mouth silently and pulled her sleeve out of Klein's hand.

Amyrius did not participate in the conversation between the two of them. If he had to say what he felt...

The fully active Level 0 Sealed Artifact seemed to be better at sealing than normal... Amyrius glanced at Alice inconspicuously and made the assertion.

He took the reproduction necklace, looked down and said:

“You can leave now.

"Go to Bilt to collect your reward."

Alice suddenly stopped, looked at Klein, then looked at Amyrius, and asked Klein with her chin in her hand:

"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you be silenced?"

Klein was silent for two seconds, ignoring this sentence, turned to Amyrius, pointed at his formal suit and said:
"clothing."

Amyrius suddenly realized that Alice might not be the only one who was abnormal here.

He had the foresight to not take off his clothes, but instead he and Klein looked at Alice who was trying to get away with it.

Alice blinked twice, stared at the two of them and thought for a few seconds, then opened the window and jumped out.

“……?” Amyrius felt slightly confused.

Klein looked at this scene in surprise, then turned to Amyrius and explained:
"I think she did that because you came in through the window."

This was not a reason and could do nothing but bring more doubts to Amyrius. He finally confirmed that Alice's way of thinking was not something he could understand, and he took off his clothes in silence.

Klein exchanged clothes with Amyrius in silence, then stood up and walked to the door. After hesitating for two seconds, he turned around and asked tentatively:

"Admiral, can we go out together?

"When she first came in, she came in with me."

Amyrius confirmed once again that Alice was not the only one who was abnormal here.

No, maybe it's not them who are abnormal, but me...

Watching Klein leave in disappointment, Amyrius fell into a strong state of self-doubt. (End of this chapter)
