Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 42 Chapter 6 The long-lost Tarot Club
"What's wrong?" Klein looked at Alice who suddenly stopped and looked confused.

"Emmm..." Alice hesitated.

"?" Klein's eyes were confused.

"Anyway, I can draw comics." Alice decided not to show Klein the pile of things for the time being, at least until she figured out who the other protagonist was.

"If you're not worried about your identity, you can try to submit articles to magazines?" Klein made serious suggestions, "But what exactly are you painting?"

"...Can we change the topic?" Alice felt a slight breakdown. "Really, stop talking about my paintings. Let's talk about something else. Anything will do."

"...Okay," Klein was very puzzled by this, but it was the first time that he saw Alice resisting a certain topic so much. He thought that it was not an important matter and would ask about it later when he had the opportunity, so he suppressed his curiosity for the time being. He thought, "Next, let me introduce you to the pros and cons of different areas in Backlund..."

Under Klein's introduction, Alice gradually understood the differences between Backlund's different areas.

First of all, Alice excluded Queens and the West End, which have the best security and strictest supervision. These two areas belong to the nobility and wealthy businessmen, and are definitely not areas that Alice can consider.

Next, Alice ruled out several factory areas, dock areas, and the Backlund Bridge area—which didn’t sound like places to live.

In addition, the East End, where the poor gathered, was also excluded after Alice learned about the scene of the slums in this era.

As for the remaining districts... In addition to the Hills neighborhood, which is the economic, commercial and financial center of Loen, and the Jowood district, which is lined with small companies and has many residences, Klein also suggested that Alice exclude the North District. , for no other reason than simply because St. Samuel's Church is there.

After instructing Alice, Klein heard from Alice the ins and outs of obtaining her identity certificate. The unknown angel cast a shadow over the two of them... Well, there were already enough shadows and he didn't care about one more. layered.

At the end of the topic, Alice suddenly made a request that she had never made before: "The next time you collect Russell's diary, can you show it to me?"

"Of course, no problem, but why are you suddenly interested in Russell's diary?" Klein did not refuse, but still asked curiously.

"Because before I just wanted to get my memory back," Alice's voice was as soft as if it didn't exist, "but now I realize that maybe I need strength."

……

Compared to Alice, who decided to lie down for a while before working hard, the hard-working Mr. Fool had to start holding a party after recovering his spirituality - ah, this may be the pain of being a cult leader.

Above the gray fog, just as Audrey was about to say hello happily, Alger spoke first: "Mr. Fool, I have obtained a total of 19 pages of Russell's diary this time. Here, I must thank you for sending your favored one, These diaries are the reward I should pay for helping me get rid of Qilingos!"

Beloved? Where did he come from? Or can he get rid of Qilingos's favored one? Alice looked at Klein in astonishment, even ignoring that such an obvious move would attract the attention of the other three people.

Klein, who was sitting in the chief seat, was hidden in the gray fog, and his eyes seemed to be looking at Alice unintentionally. Alice suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. She lowered her head and calmed down her emotions. "This is the principle of equal exchange." came Mr. Fool's calm voice.

"My current memory limit is six pages, please allow me to give it to you several times." Although he was a little confused about Alice's attitude, Alger still responded humbly.

"No problem." Klein, shrouded in thick gray fog, nodded gently.

After reading the diary, Klein smiled low and peacefully and said, "Russell mentioned some hidden history and some simple common sense in the diary. The latter reminded me that I didn't seem to have told you. ."

Huh? Alice raised her eyebrows in surprise and sat up a little straighter. She glanced at the others and found that even the Hanged Man's posture was much more serious than hers. She could only sit up a little more upright.

——Of course, this obvious abnormality cannot be hidden from others.

But even Audrey would not ask questions about this. Audrey just looked at Klein excitedly: "Mr. Fool, what common sense did Emperor Russell bring up? I can pay you in exchange for this news."

Klein chuckled and said: "No need, this is all simple common sense. After seeing this part of the diary, as the convener of the Tarot Club, I think it is necessary for you all to know. Of course, I know very well that among you, Some of them have already mastered it.”

He's not using my information as a favor, is he? Alice suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Thank you so much! Mr. Fool, you are so generous!" Audrey responded happily.

Klein stopped tapping his fingers and described in a calm tone: "The first common sense is the law of immortality of extraordinary characteristics. Extraordinary characteristics will not be destroyed or reduced, but will only be transferred from one thing to another."

While chewing on this law, Audrey looked at the others: Mr. Sun and Mr. Hanged Man's expressions were normal. They seemed to have known this law for a long time. Miss Destiny... "Destiny" "The lady is looking at Mr. Fool with a questioning look? !

Noticing Audrey's gaze, Alice turned her head. She raised her lips and eyebrows with a half-smile, and glanced at Klein in the gray fog. She looked at Audrey and added what Klein had not finished:

"After the death of an Extraordinary, the Extraordinary characteristics will precipitate from the corpse. If the Extraordinary dies normally, the Extraordinary characteristics can be used as the main material of the potion. If it is the remains of an out-of-control Extraordinary after the death, the spirit on it needs to be removed first. Pollution - of course, you can also consider making it into magical items for use."

Alice's words were like a thunderbolt in Audrey's heart. She finally understood why Alice and Alger were unwilling to reveal what substitute materials were given to her before - what is the difference between this and cannibalism?
They are Extraordinary, and they also have the extraordinary characteristics of walking and being hunted... Audrey looked at Klein with the last glimmer of hope, but Klein in the gray mist did not express anger at Alice's attitude. Nor did he deny what Alice said.

For the first time, she realized what kind of place the extraordinary world was. Unlike Alice, who was ignorant of all this, Audrey was obviously shocked, but she quickly calmed down with self-soothing.

After everything calmed down, Klein threw out a second law: "The second common sense, the law of conservation of extraordinary characteristics within a similar sequence."

　It’s not that I don’t want Klein to watch it, but I’m afraid that after Klein has finished watching it, I will think about it next time I see Amon, and Amon casually discovers that Klein is the man of his dreams (…), I really can’t come back from this, I say Really, if you have the chance, you can consider writing it into a drama or a spin-off or something. I really can’t get enough of the main text (…)
　　Klein will definitely see it, but not now, I have already prepared the fanart (what), there is no fanart because I can't draw (...)
