Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 36 Chapter 36 The season of despair and helplessness

"The trigger word for this spell is the ancient Hermetic word 'light'." Klein stretched out a hand from behind Leonard and handed Alice a spell. "When we rush out, you can Throw this charm at Megoose and the child in her belly..."

"What about the captain?" Alice suddenly interrupted Klein.

"The captain told me that as a Nighthawk, you not only have to believe in yourself, but also in your teammates." It was Leonard who answered her question. Alice looked at Leonard, who had already put away his He is casual and has a rare serious and serious expression.

"...Okay." Alice responded, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then signaled that she was ready.

So they walked out together. Leonard wrapped an extraordinary object that Alice didn't recognize around his hand. With his fingers spread wide, Klein pinched a metal sheet of the same style as Alice's.

Dunn noticed their figures appearing together and seemed to understand something. When the three of them launched an attack together, Dunn also rolled dexterously behind the chair, avoided their direct attack, and retreated to them after the storm. around.

Alice stared blankly as the sunlight passed through the ceiling, merged with the gold flakes, and turned into a ball of light that expanded.

With the loud "bang" sound, Alice could feel the house shaking, and she could hear bursts of overwhelmed groans coming from the glass, but she stared intently at the dazzling ball of light surrounded by flames. Right in the center, until tears remain.

As the light gradually dissipated, Alice saw the soaring flames and the black ashes floating in the middle of the flames. Everything seemed to disappear without a trace in the fierce light just now.

However, Alice knew that this was not the case - the fear transformed from the long-standing agitation seemed to have a channel to vent at this moment. Reminding her of the strong sense of crisis, Alice could not think about it. , instinctively rolled out to the right, and an arm-long, sharp white bone knife landed heavily on the place where Alice was standing just now, leaving a deep mark on the ground.

No one needed to be reminded, everyone noticed the figure at the end of the white bone knife - that was Megoose who should have been reduced to ashes.

Her clothes did not survive the explosion. Her skin became charred black and continued to fall off. The thing on her head changed from a skull to a ball wrapped in a layer of charred skin. Her eyes were filled with charred skin. There are still flames beating.

And her left arm was transforming into the white bone knife with the handle just now, which was magical and holy.

In the room that was still shaking, Megaos raised the bone knife again. This time, her target was Klein.

"Submit!" Leonard made a strong blasphemous sound, which was the ability he had just stolen from Megoos.

Without any surprise, Megoos was controlled by her own abilities. She bent down slightly, her legs trembling. Klein took the opportunity to dodge the knife.

But - it makes no sense.

They both realized that they lacked strong enough means to deal with the child in Megoose's belly, and once the child was successfully born, they would definitely die.

And Megoose was not even willing to let them struggle before her death.

Melgoose's head suddenly exploded, plasma and brain tissue mixed in the charred skin and splashed out, and Melgoose's body lost control.

Immediately afterwards, Megoose's body turned into a cannonball, and with a loud "bang", it rushed towards Leonard, who was briefly stopped because the profanity was broken.

Dunn, who happened to be on the side, wanted to stop him - so they shared the force of the impact, and were knocked against the wall by Megoos. Blood spilled from his mouth, and he passed out neatly.

"Wow!"

In the silence, the baby's cry suddenly came from Megoose's belly. Alice and Klein, who were still awake, felt dizzy at the same time. Their trachea constricted and breathing became difficult.

A blood-red shadow appeared in front of Alice's eyes, and there was a warm, moist and sticky feeling on her ears, face, under her nose, and many parts of her body. Alice knew that this must be the blood flowing out from the burst blood vessels.

In the semi-transparent red shadow, Alice saw Megoose's headless body standing up, turning around, and walking towards them step by step.

Megoose's knife swung hard at Klein. This time, there was no one to help or protect him. Klein's clothes were severely torn while he was still in dizziness, and his body was almost cut in the middle.

Then, Megoos ignored Alice's futile harassment and swung a knife at Klein, who was temporarily incapacitated, splitting him in half after he had just managed to survive.

Then, Megaos turned her headless body towards Alice.

Am I...going to die? Alice thought a little desperately as she watched Megaos approaching her.

"Gululu——"

Alice's brain was buzzing, but a sound suddenly rang in her ears, as if coming from a very far away place. Before Alice could distinguish what the sound was, she saw Melgoose walking straight towards her. Come.

——Then, he tripped to the ground strangely.

What's even more weird is that when she fell to the ground, the bone knife formed by her left arm was placed across her waist and abdomen, cutting off herself and the child in her belly.

Klein's eyes widened in shock at this step. He never expected that things would end in such a weird way, but Alice ignored him. She stood stiffly on the spot and looked at Megao who was no longer moving. Oasi——How familiar is this scene?

"Pah, pah, pah." Slow applause came. Alice turned her head stiffly, and a figure in a windbreaker walked in, clapping.

Alice recognized this face - it was Ince Zangwill who escaped with 0-08.

Alice finally figured out that he was the mastermind behind the scenes and the source of all coincidences.

Is this what 0-08 is for? Create a coincidence?
"This is not the luck that a lucky person should have - but how long can you be lucky?"

Ince Zangwill's voice came together with his attack. Facing Ince Zangwill, Alice realized her powerlessness for the first time.

Ince Zangwill didn't even need to drive the undead to attack her. As an Extraordinary who lacked the ability to fight head-on, she was helpless in front of Ince Zangwill. Even if she was lucky, at this moment It's useless.

At the end of the story, Alice only had time to see the pale hand belonging to Ince Zangwill reach into her chest and take out a still beating heart.

Then, there was a deep, dead darkness.
