Mystery: Lucky One

Under financial pressure, Fors's thoughts gradually wavered. After hearing Alice's positive voice, he made up his mind:

“Why don’t you ask me?

"I know Mr. Door's affairs very well. Besides, I can also ask Mr. Fool if he knows anything else."

This is true. Fors knew that if Mr. Fool was willing and if Miss Fate had patience, then Miss Fate would probably not lack knowledge of the occult.

After all, theoretically speaking, there should be no other god like Miss Fate in the world - the god itself also represents knowledge.

Of course, the knowledge about Mr. Door was more like some kind of news, but Fors still believed that Mr. Fool was very familiar with Mr. Door for a simple reason—Mr. Fool had just revealed the source of the full moon curse on her.

Inside the gray fog, the great Mr. Fool was not as well-prepared as she had thought. In fact, Klein was so frightened that he almost broke into a cold sweat.

——He had already said all the things he was sure of. The rest were things he was not so sure of, and saying them out loud would be tantamount to blind guessing.

But Miss Fate can talk nonsense and expose her ignorance unscrupulously, but Mr. Fool cannot, because even though Mr. Fool is not an omniscient and omnipotent God, he is not a willful child like Alice.

Or a liar like Amon...

Klein sighed in his heart, envying Alice for the umpteenth time.

The suggestion of asking Mr. Fool gave Magician Fors a new inspiration. She turned to the head of the bronze table and asked:
“Dear Mr. Fool, can I speak?”

She had just decided to ask Mr. Fool because she remembered that her source of information was also Mr. Fool. Obviously, Magician Fors did not think that she could ignore Mr. Fool's opinion like Miss Fate did.

Well done! Mr. Fool was extremely excited, but he showed no emotion on his face. He just praised the “magician” Fors in his heart, and then he said:

"can."

After a pause, he turned to the Hermit Cattleya and said:
"Asking her is not the same as asking me."

A drop of cold sweat slid down Cattleya's forehead. Before she could open her mouth, a loud noise came from Alice's side. She turned her head and saw that it was their Miss Fate who kicked the leg of the bench in anger.

Cattleya, the Hermit, became even more panicked. She looked around with her peripheral vision and found that Audrey, the Justice, was looking straight ahead with a calm expression, but her eyes were empty. Alger, the Hanged Man, lowered his head with a frown, as if he was thinking about some world problem.

These are the two with the most skilled movements. The others also have their own postures, but in the end, they all acted as if they heard nothing.

The Hermit Cattleya silently withdrew her gaze and began to pretend to be deaf and dumb like everyone else.

Facts have proved that this choice is correct. The great Mr. Fool just glanced at Miss Destiny and said with a smile:

"Destiny... Could it be that you are short of money from selling information?"

This sentence successfully stopped Alice. Just as Klein said, she did not lack the money from selling the information. In other words, what she lacked at this time was no longer money.

What made Alice uncomfortable was that she was not short of money, but she seemed unable to save any.

This seemed to be the drawback of fate. To be honest, Alice thought that she had not lacked anything for a long time. Sometimes things even came too quickly, such as those extraordinary characteristics that flew into her mouth.

But she also didn't seem to keep anything for long that she couldn't use at the time.

This was really a very strange thing. Alice shook her head and suddenly remembered the extraordinary characteristics of the "puppet" in her hand. She suddenly wanted to keep the thing for a while longer to break the curse.

Klein obviously knew this. He understood Alice's financial situation and knew that a few hundred pounds would be useless to Alice except for being turned into ice cream. Alice wouldn't care too much about this.

She got angry because she actually felt that I had embarrassed her... But I really don't know how much news I have.

Mr. Fool sighed, and taking advantage of the fact that no one could see him, he looked towards Alice for help under the cover of the gray fog.

...Forget it, give him some face.

Seeing Mr. Fool's sincere expression, Alice decided to let go of her dissatisfaction. She curled her lips, glanced at Cattleya, then at Fors, the Magician, and raised her chin slightly and said:
"You guys go ahead."

Fortunately, Mr. Fool is here... "Hermit" Cattleya exhaled, turned to "Magician" Fors first, and asked her:

"How much should I pay for this news?"

After thinking for a while, Magician Fors quoted a price:
"For 500 pounds, you can apply for a private exchange."

Alice looked at the "magician" Fors in surprise, as if she was amazed that she could sell such news for 500 pounds.

Magician Fors remained silent about this. Most of what she knew about Mr. Door came from Mr. Fool. In other words, all of it came from Mr. Fool.

After all, it is a bit far-fetched to single out the "full moon mumbling" that he must experience every month and say that it is Mr. Men's information.

Cattleya did not bargain. She glanced at Alice and said thoughtfully:
"No, just say it directly."

This was not out of generosity, but she hoped that other members would remember more about Mr. "Door" after listening to the story told by "Magician" Fors.

Of course, it would be great if Miss Fate or Mr. Fool were willing to reveal the news.

Fors nodded and said carefully:
“I once got a magical item that can help people travel through the spirit world. After using it, every time there is a full moon or a blood moon, you will hear strange whispers, which will bring you almost uncontrollable pain.

"And according to Mr. Fool, the mumbling came from Mr. Door."

She paused for a second and added, "It's possible that He is asking for help."

It turns out that Fors was silently enduring such pain... She never showed it at all and always looked like she was enjoying life...

"Justice" Audrey subconsciously sympathized with her friend, while reflecting on herself for not effectively using her "audience" ability to discover what was wrong with Forn.

Asking for help... Alice was not surprised by this answer. She already knew what the "magician" Fors could say. But when she heard that Mr. "Door" was asking for help, Alice's heart suddenly beat violently.

It was a very strange feeling. She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter. She subconsciously immersed her mind in this matter. In a daze, Alice felt that she had passed through a gray fog. She stuck her head out wrapped in a thin mist, and then she saw a beautiful night sky. The stars were twinkling in the night sky, and the crimson moon was hanging high in the dark night. Alice was in a trance and remembered the lyrics of a nursery rhyme. She tapped her fingers lightly, as if she really heard someone singing in her ear:

"twinkle Twinkle Little Star,

"The sky is full of little stars,

"Like many little eyes,

"Hanging in the sky to give light..."

Amid the flowing ballad, the stars seemed to have really turned into blinking eyes. Alice was in a trance and suddenly found that the crimson moon seemed to have a crack.

As her attention shifted, her field of vision suddenly zoomed in. The crimson moon became much larger, and the uneven surface of the moon became visible. Alice knew that those were traces of craters.

The good news is that the crack on the moon finally became clear. Looking closer, Alice felt inexplicably that the moon did not look like a moon, but rather like a closed eye.

Eye……?
She looked at the moon a little dazedly, unsure of how she should react, but this seemed to be enough. The gap kept expanding and shrinking, like a person struggling to open his eyes.

The spirit chirped sharply, and Alice felt an unprecedented sense of panic and crisis - much stronger than when she met Amon.

At that moment, there was only one thought left in Alice's mind - run!

But where should she run to...

As she thought of this, the mist on her body seemed to sense something and pulled her back like a safety rope in bungee jumping or an invisible giant hand.

The gray mist engulfed her for the second time, then released her, and next thing Alice knew, she woke up with a start and found herself sitting in a tarot club.

Eh……?
She looked around in confusion, trying to understand the current situation.

The magical item that can travel through the spirit world... the mumbling during the full moon... a cry for help... Cattleya, the Hermit, repeated the key points of the words of Fors, the Magician, in her mind and nodded with satisfaction:
"Thank you for your description."

She then glanced at the other members, hoping to get more feedback.

When this gaze fell on her, Alice raised her head slightly, smiled at the Hermit Cattleya, and said with interest:
“500 pounds for a warning, or a reminder.

"Of course, I don't guarantee the accuracy of this news. You can understand it as... well, this is my intuition."

Intuition... as if being stared at by something dangerous, Cattleya felt hairs standing up on her back, quickly spreading from below her neck to her entire back, giving her a chill.

She realized almost immediately that this intuition was probably related to what the "magician" Fors had just said.

But the news from the "magician" Fors seemed to come from Mr. Fool, could it be... ?
As their thoughts raced, Hermit Cattleya and Magician Fors looked towards the top of the long bronze table, at the figure shrouded in gray mist.

Klein silently set his sights on Alice.

Alice certainly didn't really want to ruin Klein's plan. She chuckled to attract everyone's attention, and then added:

"Don't get me wrong... I don't think Mr. Fool did it on purpose. After waking up, he hasn't checked on Mr. Door's current condition.

"Actually, I haven't checked it either. Like I said, it's just my gut feeling."

Rather than saying it was intuition, it would be more accurate to say that Alice gained information from the experience she had just experienced.

Even though she was confused and didn't know anything just now, when she woke up, Alice still knew what was in the starry sky.

Outside the Earth, the outer gods coveted the source material and sequence pathways on the Earth. They surrounded the Earth and became beautiful stars in everyone's eyes.

The most powerful among them is undoubtedly one of the two who occupies the Crimson Moon, a being called the "Fallen Mother Goddess".

The scene of the starry sky seemed to be hinting at this, and realizing that she saw this scene because she heard Mr. "Door"'s cry for help, Alice couldn't help but have some guesses about Mr. "Door"'s condition.

After all, she had told Klein long ago that the last angel king who was so considerate and always answered questions was named Amon.

In this way, the logic of the whole thing can be strung together. "Mr. 'Door'" used the illusion of rationality, clarity and gentleness to deceive the trust of extraordinary people who accidentally saw him, hoping that they would perform a ritual to summon him out from the unknown.

If someone did this, they would probably be able to bring someone back from the moon, and then the entire earth would be doomed...

She decided to speak out because, although Cattleya was fine, Bernadette behind her might not be so cautious when faced with news about her father - in other words, Bernadette might really bring "Mr. Door" back.

As for Fors, it was actually unimportant because Fors couldn't hear the truth of the mumbling voice for a while anyway.

But it was Abraham behind her...

Alice shook her head, put aside her chaotic thoughts, and looked intently at the "Hermit" Cattleya.

Cattleya, the "Hermit" who had intended to collect more information, did not reject the information Alice brought to her door. She nodded and said to Alice in a serious tone:
"It's okay, I trust your instincts."

After all, Alice's intuition might be more reliable than the conclusions she had carefully reasoned out, and Cattleya felt that she had no reason to doubt the intuition of an angel of "fate".

Alice then exhaled and said to Cattleya:

"Mr. 'Gate' is an extremely powerful mysterious being, whose strength can be classified as that of the King of Angels.

"But surprisingly, Mr. Door is a very friendly being. If you summon Mr. Door on a full moon night for some ritual, he will patiently answer your questions and chat with you.

"According to Mr. Door, he has been trapped in the dark storm for too long, so as long as someone can talk to him, he will be very happy and has no further pursuit.

"If there is anything I must say, Mr. Door hopes someone can take him out of that environment..." (End of this chapter)
