Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 47 Chapter 11 Shame-making and renting a house

After getting the necklace, Alice began her career of making faces.

Alice was not worried about creating a strange appearance. As someone who had systematically studied painting, Alice's grasp of the details of her appearance was quite accurate.

Alice first ruled out the option of altering her figure - it would inevitably affect her movements, and she would not be able to wear the necklace all the time.

Alice first decided to change her hair color from dazzling blonde to dark brown later. Then, considering that Brielle Rose's age on the ID card was 19, Alice decided to design her face A little more mature.

"But this body should still grow taller..." Alice lowered her head hesitantly and looked at her body.

The specific age of this body cannot be determined, but it is suspected to be fifteen or sixteen years old. If the guess is true, this body should still have some room to grow.

Alice secretly remembered this and planned to wear height-increasing shoes when she went out every day. After finding a place to live, she would mark the height line with bare feet. She would compare it every time she came back. If there were any obvious signs of heightening, she would Lower the soles a bit.

"The heels don't need to be too high, just to make the change in height not too abrupt... Well, what else is there?"

She couldn't think of any more things to pay attention to in a short time, so Alice took the pen and started designing her facial features, face shape and many other details.

The chin is adjusted to a sharp point and the flesh on the cheeks is reduced a bit, and the original tenderness is diluted a lot.

Next, comes the facial features. It was a bit difficult to design a set of facial features out of thin air, so Alice decided to accept Charlie King's suggestion and make modifications based on existing templates.

But who to refer to is a huge problem for Alice.

After a brief thought, Alice retrieved a face from her memory that was extremely familiar to her but could not have a prototype in this world - the friend who asserted that she would be a natural "monster".

Of course, there is still a big gap between this face and Rune's appearance style. The facial features version that Alice finally adopted was a modified version of Rune's demon based on this face.

After carefully writing down her designed appearance, Alice first checked out of the room, and then changed into a new face in a deserted alley.

——The next step is renting a house.

Although the attitude of the goddess was not clear, considering that Ince Zangwill could beat her with only Sequence 5, he was kind enough to allow her to stay among the Nighthawks to familiarize herself with the situation and finally let her go. Reminding her goddess, Alice still had a pretty strong sense of trust.

- She decided to become Briar Rose, a devout believer in the goddess, I mean, she decided to live in the North End.

"After all, if you want to become a priest of disaster, your unlucky physique that you can't control will accidentally injure civilians..."

Alice subconsciously ignored that even if the Nighthawks could no longer recognize her after putting on a new face, she was still a genuine wild Beyonder now.

Thanks to the identification, Alice walked into the "Metropolitan Housing Improvement Association" openly - Klein had warned her that the so-called "Working Class Housing Improvement Association" provided housing that did not even have a separate bathroom.

When Alice stepped into the "Metropolitan Housing Improvement Association", a middle-aged woman with a kind smile came up to receive Alice: "Hello, this lady, you can call me Mrs. Maggie, what kind of house do you need?" ?”

Alice did not dodge Mrs. Maggie's scrutinizing gaze. She recalled her identity information and said with a bit of arrogance: "I don't know." Alice's unreasonable and strong answer made Mrs. Maggie Her smile paused for a moment, then she opened the document skillfully and pushed it in front of Alice: "You can take a look first... Well, do you live alone?"

"Yes, I live alone." Alice responded dryly. She flipped through the document that confused her aimlessly - she found that she had no ability to distinguish the rental information.

"Do you have any requirements for the location of the house?" Mrs. Maggie asked thoughtfully.

"I'm a believer in the goddess - I mean, I wish I could be closer to the church, uh, not too close." Alice replied as if to her savior.

"You can take a look at the houses in this area," although she didn't understand why Alice emphasized not to get too close, Mrs. Maggie still introduced, "These houses are relatively close to the church, so it is convenient for you to go to pray every day. Well, there are many places here. Some are particularly close..."

After the range of choices was narrowed, Alice looked through the document again, but... it was still of no use.

"...Do you have any requirements for the environment and rent of the house?" Mrs. Maggie had to ask again.

"I...uh," Alice looked at Mrs. Maggie blankly, "I'm not sure..."

Facing Mrs. Maggie's patient and kind smile, Alice's voice became smaller and smaller. She realized that a guest like herself was really making things difficult for the lady in front of her.

But it has to be said that the identity chosen by Charlie King is too suitable for Alice, and she can cater to the message of this identity without any disguise.

The only time Alice should be lucky is that she has not yet drank the magic potion from the Disaster Priest. At this moment, she is still a "lucky one" - the Lady Maggie in front of her has the patience that matches her appearance.

"Well," Mrs. Maggie pondered for a moment and looked at Alice who seemed to be going out alone for the first time (which was actually the case) and smiled, "We can first eliminate these three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses - no problem? "

"No," Alice glanced at Mrs. Maggie gratefully, "I think I need a study, or a studio or something... Well, it'd better be heated inside."

Mrs. Maggie nodded, and excluded some rooms from the document, and then said: "Then, our remaining goals are very few. Let me introduce you to the remaining rooms in detail..."

After Mrs. Maggie's introduction, Alice finally decided to take a look at a certain row house on Welsh Street.

It takes about half an hour to walk to St. Samuel's Church from here, or even faster if you take a horse-drawn carriage.

This house has a living room, but it's not big, but Alice doesn't think she has any need to receive friends - she believes Klein won't care about this formality.

In addition, it has all the necessary rooms - dining room, kitchen, living room, balcony, study, bathroom, basement...

"The furniture here is a bit old, and, uh..." Alice's first attempt at bargaining failed under Mrs. Maggie's gentle smile.

In the end, she paid the deposit and half-year rent for a total of 1 pounds at a price of 30 pound a week.
