Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 487 Chapter 65 Selina's Divination Experience
When the assistant turned around and led the way, Alice saw him look at her and the black cat in his arms with surprise and curiosity.

Alice glanced at Klein and when she found that he had no intention of explaining, she ignored his look. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

The man dressed as an assistant took Alice up to the second floor, and after a moment's hesitation, he took her into a small reception room.

Alice obediently sat on the single sofa, then placed the black cat possessed by Klein with Senior on her lap and lowered her head to stroke its fur.

The black cat fell on her knees as she pushed, revealing its soft waist and abdomen. Alice reached out and touched it without hesitation, praying:

"I wish I could touch your mythical creature form..."

"Why can't it be your own that I can touch?" Klein couldn't help but complain.

Alice replied while stroking his fur:

"Because my mythical creature form has been determined - the 'Mercury Snake' not only has no hair, it doesn't even have scales!"

"...So you really want to touch your own fur?" Klein was shocked.

“I even the goddess…” Alice’s raised voice suddenly stopped and she looked in the direction of Mendu.

Klein followed her and shut up. Not long after, the man dressed as an assistant opened the door. An older man with graying temples and a thin face came in and sat on another single sofa.

The assistant also followed in. Alice watched him take out tea leaves and tea sets from under the coffee table. After brewing them, he poured a cup for her and the strange man, then poured himself a cup and sat down.

Alice thought for a moment, placed Klein on the last remaining sofa, pushed the teacup over to him, and then asked the assistant:
"Is there any ice cream?"

The assistant was stunned for a moment, and Klein quickly said, "I'll buy it for you when I get back."

Alice turned her head to look at Klein, then lifted the black cat back onto her lap and brought back the teacup.

The older man who had been watching from the side couldn't help himself and asked in a curious tone:
"Sherlock, what are you doing?"

Klein then turned his attention away from Alice and explained his purpose:
"Mr. Eisinger, I remember I told you before that I don't plan to sell my bicycle shares for the time being. I want to transfer them to a friend..."

Isengard nodded. He remembered this incident. At the critical moment of the bidding, his old friend suddenly decided not to sell his shares and transferred them to a friend. He had been curious about the identity of that friend for a long time. Now...

Isengard looked at Alice thoughtfully.

After explaining to Isengard, Klein turned back and introduced Alice:

“This is Mr. Isengard Stanton, a very capable detective and one of my friends from the past. If you have anything to do… never mind, you probably don’t need it.

"Anyway, before I left Backlund, I entrusted him with the handling of my bicycle shares."

"Hello?" Alice waved to Isengard.

The detective seemed to have not been greeted like this in many years. He raised his hand somewhat awkwardly and responded tentatively:
"Hello?"

Alice stared at Isengard for two seconds, then reached out and poked Klein on his knee and instructed him:

"Go on."

In order to make it easier for Klein to talk, Alice simply picked him up and threw him on the coffee table.

Klein stood up from the coffee table with great difficulty, and was thankful that the doll had no sense of pain—at least not for the time being.

"Mr. Eisinger," he cried, "as you can see... I am going to transfer my shares to her."

Isengard glanced at Alice, then at Klein, and finally asked the same question as Alice:

"Why did you become like this?"

“This…” Klein turned around and glanced at Alice. “At first, it was to prevent others from noticing my presence near her. Later, I realized it was futile. But… I’m here now.”

Isengard Stanton glanced at the two of them again. As if he had confirmed something, he carefully considered his tone and persuaded Klein:
"Normally, I wouldn't say anything about my friends' feelings, but...

"This child, is she an adult?"

Alice looked at Isengard Stanton with a slightly hesitant look. She intuitively felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but she lacked relevant experience and just frowned. She thought about it in confusion for a moment, then lowered her head and asked Klein:
"What does he mean?"

"...It's not what you think," Klein looked at Alice with mixed feelings and explained to Isengard, "We are just friends. Besides, she actually paid for the shares. It's just that what she paid is not suitable for regular trading channels..."

Isengard Stanton was slightly stunned, then understood what Klein meant. He stopped talking about it and smiled:

"So that's how it is. After we sign the agreement, you can get the shares."

"So easy?" Alice asked in confusion.

Signing the agreement was not a complicated process. Isengard Stanton had a prepared agreement template. After getting Klein's confirmation, Isengard immediately ordered his assistant to get the template.

Then, Isengard copied two identical agreements and pushed them in front of Alice. Alice pressed Klein's head to read the agreements. After confirming that there were no problems, she picked up the pen and signed.

After watching Alice sign, Klein said:
"I've been out here for a long time, I have to go.

"If you want to inform me of something, you can find her. She's been in Backlund recently...I think she's here, right?"

"Not necessarily," Alice spread her hands, "Maybe I have to go to Oravi. I have to look for the bridge arch in the prophecy."

"You should be able to receive the letter, right?" Klein asked.

That's right, Alice nodded and left her address to Isengard Stanton.

……

After hearing Selina mention the magic mirror divination through eavesdropping outside the ward the day before, Allen had been looking for an opportunity to ask about it. This was not an intuitive reminder, he just didn't want to miss any suspicious clues, anything related to fate and divination would attract his attention.

Alan was absent-minded throughout the entire night and day. He kept looking for an opportunity to ask clearly, but unfortunately, he had to finish his work first.

But Allen did not forget the promise he had received. The girl who appeared in his dream promised to give him a chance not to be disturbed. If this was the case, it would not be difficult for him to get rid of his wife, or to get rid of Will Auceptin.

He is a doctor in the hospital after all.

It only took one examination for Alan to easily lead his wife away, and then he entered Selina's ward, which was also his wife's ward.

"Dr. Allen?" Selina greeted him in surprise. "You're not with Ms. Wilma? I thought..."

Selina took the initiative to bring up the topic, which relieved Alan of his worries. He revealed his worries during this period without any dignity and told his half-truths:

“Velma I had a checkup, and I…I’m a little worried…I’ve been worried ever since Velma got pregnant.

"You know, Wilma should have told you that this is not our first child, but I'm still very worried. I always feel that this child seems to be different from the previous ones. And, as you can see, the child is in a very bad condition now..."

Selina nodded with understanding and said comfortingly:

"I understand your concern, just like when I was in a car accident before, my family was also worried about me.

"But it's no use worrying like this..."

Alan sighed heavily and casually mentioned:

"I seem to have heard you and Wilma mention some magic mirror divination before, saying that it can... bring peace of mind?"

"Oh, about this," Selina said listlessly, "Whenever I encounter something that makes me feel uneasy, I like to try fortune-telling. It can also be regarded as a way to seek peace of mind. I originally thought that if you are also worried, you can also try it..."

After a pause, she smiled again:

"However, seeing you like this, I hope you won't go. After all, if the calculation turns out to be a bad result, then wouldn't it be..."

Allen also sighed. He simply sat on the bed and chatted with Selina as if he needed to divert his attention:

"It sounds like this is a hobby of yours? I don't know much about this, can you tell me more about it? That magic mirror divination..."

"Well..." Selina cooperated and brought up the relevant topic. "To be honest, I don't really want to talk to you about it. The main thing is that my divination... The results can't be said to be inaccurate, but... well, it's very random."

Accurate and very random... This statement made Alan stunned for a moment. He realized that this probably meant inaccurate. After all, it was probably like this for normal people's divination. If you are lucky and it happens, then it will be accurate. If you are unlucky and it doesn't happen, then it will be inaccurate.

Selina's experience sounded normal. Allen was a little disappointed, but Selina's next words caught his attention again:

"However, I once did a very accurate divination... well... that happened to be divination with the magic mirror."

Selina's eyes drifted upwards, as if she was recalling the scene at that time. Then, Allen saw her patting her chest with lingering fear and said:
"However, my friend told me that I was not feeling well at the time and it was only after she pulled me out that I felt better. Besides, I really don't remember what happened at the time...

"I just secretly read the teacher's name on his notebook, but I didn't expect it to have such serious consequences... And then the teacher also..."

Your honorific name...? Alan's mind moved, and he continued calmly:

"Your name?"

"Oh, right," Selina suddenly woke up, "If you don't often come into contact with the mysticism, you probably haven't heard of this concept... Well, you probably don't know the process of magic mirror divination?"

Alan nodded, glanced at the door with genuine anxiety, and then said to Selina:
"Can you tell me about it?"

Doctor Allen said he wanted to divert attention through chatting... Selina, who had a good impression of Allen Chris, decided to cooperate with this matter. She smiled and shook her head and said:
"It's not inconvenient at all. After all, it's not a secret. I just happen to be interested in this area, so I just happened to know about it.

“Magic mirror divination is a divination method that asks a mysterious being for an answer.

"If you want to do magic mirror divination, first of all, you have to choose a suitable date and time according to the gods you believe in. This can be determined by the Astrology Handbook... Do you know this book?"

"I've heard of it." Alan nodded.

Then Selina continued:

"For example, we all know that Sunday is the symbol of the goddess of night and the embodiment of rest. The hours from 2 to 3 a.m., 9 to 10 a.m., 4 to 5 p.m., and 11 p.m. to midnight are the moon hours, which are dominated by the goddess of night. Therefore, fortune-tellers who believe in the goddess of night can perform 'magic mirror divination' during these time periods on Sunday."

This was not what Allen wanted to know, but he was not in a hurry. He intuitively felt that what he wanted was within reach, so he listened patiently to Selina's story and continued to ask:
"what's next?"

Selina then continued:

"Secondly, we carefully wipe the mirror, which must be silver-plated, and place it in the position in the house that symbolizes the moon..."

At this point, Selina subconsciously stood up and tried to find a mirror, but there was no suitable mirror nearby, and her legs were not convenient for movement, so she just looked around and gave up, and continued to introduce:
"After you finish bathing, make sure the curtains are all closed and the door is locked. Then, light a candle and place it in front of the mirror. Pray devoutly to the gods you believe in. Try to keep the questions simple without using complicated embellishments... After praying seven times, pick up your mirror and drop it gently on the ground... Remember the broken shape, which is a revelation from the gods."

Next, Selina was going to introduce the main revelations. Allen listened to her story patiently and wanted to ask about what happened during the abnormal magic mirror divination, such as the honorific name she recited at that time, but Selina reminded him:

"Dr. Allen, Ms. Velma's examination should be almost complete, right?"

Alan had to regretfully give up asking further questions. He knew that if he continued asking, he would expose his abnormality.

Being discovered by Selina was not a big deal. When it came to his wife Velma, Alan actually couldn't care less. He was still concerned about Will Auceptin.

——If Will Auceptin found out what he was looking for, this matter would probably be difficult to resolve.

Thinking of this, Allen exhaled, stood up absentmindedly and said:
"Yeah, it's time to end..."

"Sigh..." Selina sighed sympathetically behind him and shook her head.
