Mystery: Lucky One

Bernadette stopped in front of a black wooden door covered with strange patterns, reached out and grasped the handle and said:
"I have always suspected that the dream inside is the key to supporting the existence of this place. The remaining power of the night only provides the possibility for such development."

As she spoke, she turned the handle and opened the door.

Alice looked inside curiously, and the black door slowly retreated, revealing a golden ocean in the room.

In a dazzling golden color, Alice saw the sun falling from the sky, dyeing the entire ocean golden.

As if in response to this scene, an unimaginably strong breath leaked out, and the entire building began to shake noticeably. The dust above and the stone bricks on the wall fell one after another.

The owner of this breath can crush me to death... Wait, is my dream about to be shattered?
Alice suddenly realized what had happened and was about to remind her, but Bernadette had already closed the black wooden door again and everything returned to normal.

"Even I wouldn't dare to enter here." Bernadette said to Alice.

"Even I wouldn't dare to enter here." Alice shook her head and repeated Bernadette's words in response.

As Bernadette's eyes became increasingly confused, Klein turned to Alice and asked:

"You can't beat him?"

Alice nodded honestly.

He, He... is quite lively.

Bernadette's lips moved twice, but in the end she said nothing.

In their silence, Alice tossed the card of unknown material in her hand and smiled at Bernadette:

"Hey, do you know what the spell is to open the 'Black Emperor' card?"

Hmm? Does it have anything to do with me?
Bernadette shook her head and cast her inquiring gaze on Alice.

"What a coincidence!" Alice clapped her hands. "I didn't know that either!"

He is really alive...

Bernadette froze in hesitation, unsure of what she should do.

She doesn't know? Oh, I didn't tell her, but is it inappropriate for me to tell her now? No, it doesn't seem inappropriate. It's normal for her not to know...

“Bernadette.” Klein pronounced the name in ancient Feysac.

Bernadette realized that this should be the spell to activate the "Black Emperor" card. Her lips moved twice and then closed again.

Alice saw Bernadette's eyes lose focus for a moment, but soon regain their depth. Then, she spoke in the soft but emotionless voice they were familiar with:

"The dream is about to end."

The dazzling light illuminated the dream again. Alice got out of bed and went to the pirate restaurant for dinner.

When Alice finished her meal slowly and was about to leave the restaurant with a bowl of ice cream, Frank Lee walked in. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he waved at her, saying:
"Alice, you came just in time!

"Come and see what I found!"

Alice stopped hesitantly and asked cautiously, "What is it?"

"Remember the fish in this sea?" Frank Lee said excitedly, "I caught something strange!"

weird stuff……?
Alice looked at Frank Lee who said this and began to feel worried.

What was it that even he found strange... Alice looked around the restaurant with a worried look, and finally landed on Klein who was walking towards them.

Klein seemed to be worried that the two of them might cause trouble together, so he walked over and asked:
"What are you talking about?" "Herman!" Frank Lee looked even happier. "I found something strange. Do you want to come and see it?"

weird stuff……?
Klein couldn't help but glance at Alice and found that her expression was calm, but her eyes were full of requests for help.

Fortunately, she didn't look excited... A sense of relief rose in Klein's heart. With such emotion, he asked Frank Lee:

"What is it?"

"A fish with human fingers growing in its stomach!" Without waiting for their response, Frank rushed out of the restaurant. Not long after, he ran back quickly with a strange blue-black fish in his hand.

The fish was of normal length, with human-like eyelids. Its belly had been cut open, revealing three bloody fingers stuffed inside.

Before they could think, Frank Lee quickly expressed his judgment:

"I didn't put this there, it already had it! Look at its mouth, it probably won't eat this kind of thing, so it must have grown it on its own!

"Of course, I can't yet figure out what the long fingers do for it itself."

You're right. If it's useless, it won't grow. I think I learned this in biology class... What's it called? Structure determines function? Or the other way around...

Some knowledge slipped through Alice's smooth brain.

Klein glanced at the tea fish and said carefully:

"It could have been stuffed in there by someone else."

"...That makes sense. Then it's not the most unique fish." Frank was stunned for a second, vaguely disappointed. "Fingers are flesh and blood. I'll ask Heath. He's an expert in this area."

I think the most unique fish must come from your hands in the future... Alice complained in her heart, watching him look around, and found Heath Doyle who was huddled in the corner eating. She quickly walked over and followed him.

Frank Lee placed the strange dark brown fish in front of the "Rose Bishop", and the "Rose Bishop" stretched out his hands, pressed the fish's body, and was about to put his face close to it.

This scene made Alice feel strangely familiar. She realized that this was Heath Doyle eating, and hurriedly stopped him:

“This is not for you to eat!

"Why do you 'Rose Bishops' eat everything?"

Alice, who eats everything, said so.

Klein glanced at Alice secretly and said nothing. Seeing this, Frank laughed and said:
"No, this is not the food for you. You've been eating fish all the time lately and you already smell fishy.

"I mean, do you recognize the finger in the fish's belly? Can you find out who it originally belonged to?"

In fact, I seem to be better at this, or Klein should also be good at finding the owner of an item... Alice looked at Klein hesitantly, thinking of the divine blood of the "Eternal Blazing Sun".

They're really good at this.

Heath Doyle stopped bending down, examined it carefully for a few seconds and said:

"They belong to a 'Rose Bishop', at least a 'Rose Bishop'."

Bishop of Rose? Alice was stunned for a moment, watching Heath Doyle take out the three fingers and stack them together, covered in blood.

The fingers melted into a pool of sticky flesh and blood, wriggling and drawing a bright red word on the dining table:

"Help!" (End of this chapter)
