Mystery: Lucky One

Alice didn't know if she could kill an innocent person in order to obtain extraordinary characteristics. She had never thought about this question, but looking back on the past, she thought that her behavior at certain times seemed to be no different from doing so.

So, I am just struggling for a while now... Alice pursed her lips. While she was struggling, Richaud spoke in surprise:
"……Too?"

"Yes," Alice's eyes fell on Richaud, watching his reaction closely, "Didn't fate tell you this?"

Richoed frowned slightly. He glanced at Alice but said nothing. Instead, he shook his head and said:
“That’s not the case… But I know you are already a Beyonder. You came here to find a way forward.”

Alice paused, and whispered to Richaud:

"If that's the case, then I think I've found the way forward."

"Oh?" Richaud looked at Alice with interest, waiting for her answer.

Alice smiled sarcastically and said, "I think you are the 'direction of progress' that fate has arranged for me."

Richoed frowned again, looked at Alice, and said with a smile:

"Little girl, I noticed that you seem to be disgusted with fate?"

Alice pursed her lips slightly.

Richaud shook his head and continued:

"You said you were once one of us... I don't know who led you in, or why you left, but didn't your former teacher tell you that we should respect fate?"

"Respect?" Alice sneered, "That depends on which fate you are talking about. If fate wants to kill me, do I have to obey it obediently?"

After a pause, she corrected herself, "No, that's not right... People from your 'School of Life' seem to actually commit suicide if they encounter such a situation?"

"Fate wants to kill you?" Richoed glanced at Alice in confusion. "No, fate doesn't have such personal emotions. At most, you were supposed to die, so..."

Alice stared at Rejord with a cold expression, without saying a word. Rejord's words made her lose interest in continuing the conversation. She no longer concealed her aura, so Rejord's voice stopped abruptly. He looked at her with shock and confusion and asked:
"…Demigod?"

"Yes," Alice said as she stood up. "I told you, fate has already found a 'direction' for me, and that is you, the Chaos Walker. I happen to be in urgent need of a Chaos Walker's extraordinary characteristics."

Richaud seemed calm and composed. Alice sensed that the power she had felt at the door was coming over her again. At the same time, she heard Richaud say to her:
"You probably don't know that it's very difficult for a 'Doom Mage' to leave behind a 'Chaos Walker'. For us who travel through chaos, the best thing we can do is escape."

Having said that, he didn't look like he was going to run away. He was very confident. Alice looked at his confident expression and inexplicably thought of Song Shu who wanted to make a bet with her, and she felt even more annoyed.

She actually guessed that this was most likely affected by the ability of the "Chaos Walker", but Alice did not intend to stop it, because now she no longer thought about whether to let Richoed go - this old guy successfully angered her.

Just as Rui Qiangde said, it is difficult for a "Doom Mage" to leave behind a "Chaos Walker", but Alice is not just a "Doom Mage". A silver-white river poured out from her body, surrounding the entire room. Alice smiled softly in the middle:
"Since you say so, I'll give you a chance to escape - please."

Rejord realized instantly that something was wrong. He certainly recognized this ability. After the Speaker of Fate who had successfully been promoted to "Mercury Snake" was forced to leave the "School of Life", he was responsible for leading the "School of Life".

As Will Auceptin’s long-time confidant, he was familiar with the abilities of the Sequence 1 “Mercury Snake”. When Will Auceptin was in good condition, he even asked for help. Therefore, he realized at the first moment that the girl in front of him was not an ordinary “Doom Mage”. Either she came here with the protection of Ouroboros, or she was Ouroboros.

Yes, Richoed only thought of Ouroboros, because the "School of Life" was still in civil strife. As a relatively weaker force, their already limited intelligence system was hit to pieces. They didn't care much because they usually didn't rely on this system to obtain intelligence, but mainly relied on divination and active warnings from fate.

But no matter what, Richaud remained calm. He did not forget that fate had given him a student to inherit his mantle, not the murderer who killed him. He quickly guessed that it was the former, and followed this line of thought to come to a complete conclusion.

She should have left the "School of Life" because of Ouroboros, but it seems that today is the day for her to return...

Although his brain was working, Richoed did not stop moving. He did not want to think about how much protection Angel Alice could provide, because no matter how much, he was helpless. He only had one idea - to ask for help.

With Alice's half-smile on his face, Richaud took out something. It was a grayish-white leather item with many complicated runes on it. Alice noticed that it was connected from beginning to end, like a closed water pipe.

This should have been a tense and exciting moment, but Alice suddenly lost her mind. She remembered the auxiliary ingredient of the "Prophet" potion - "the water of the long river of destiny."

Can this thing be used to hold the water from the long river of fate? Well, it's connected end to end, and it doesn't look like it will leak, but I don't know how to put it in...

While Alice was daydreaming, Richaud opened a joint in the "water pipe", unfolded the "water pipe" and threw it towards Alice.

When Alice came to her senses, she was horrified to find a "sack" flying towards her above her head, trying to cover her. She realized that it was the "water pipe" from before, which had enlarged at some point.

The runes on it became clearer, and Alice recognized several lines of interlaced ancient Hermetic language. She realized that it should be a name:
"Lucky incarnate,

"A monster that can predict the future,

"The calamity that spreads misfortune,

"The witness of all the fates of Backlund,
"The caretaker of chaos and madness."

I have seen this honorific name... This, this is Will Auceptin's honorific name! This thing is related to Will Auceptin! He is asking Will Auceptin for help!

Alice realized this, she stared at the "sack" above her head and her whole body tensed up.

……

Wilma leaned on the hospital bed and looked to the side. In her sight, a girl with burgundy hair spread a tablecloth in front of her and was shuffling a deck of tarot cards.

This was Selina, who was doing a sloppy divination. Of course, she was just playing around. As she said, her accuracy was random. She laid out a complicated Intis card array, which was invented by Emperor Roselle, the inventor of the Tarot. She was very familiar with it. Out of disrespect for the divination, Selina turned over the card that symbolized the result.

That's the reversed Wheel of Fortune.

When Selina saw this card, her expression was not very good. She tried to tell fortunes for Velma, and her original intention was just as she said - she just wanted to help her get peace of mind.

But the reversed Wheel of Fortune means that things will develop in a bad direction, which means that the outcome for the child may not be satisfactory, which does not have a reassuring effect at all.

Thinking of this, Selina glanced at Velma with a slight headache, which made Velma see the clue. She asked anxiously:
"what happened?"

Then, Selina saw Velma look at the cards spread out on her body and asked:
"Is... is the result of the divination bad?"

The anxiety and uneasiness in Velma's voice almost overflowed. Selina knew that she could never say it out loud like that. It would definitely have a major impact on Velma, but concealing the truth was not what a fortune teller should do, which gave Selina a headache.

While she was struggling, Wilma suddenly covered her stomach and groaned in pain:

"hiss!"

Selina realized that Velma had a stomachache again. This scene was not unfamiliar to her. It happened frequently recently, but it was the first time she was relieved when Velma had a stomachache. She murmured in a low voice:

"Praise the goddess... and praise fate."

Then she started calling out to people loudly.

……

Ouroboros suddenly put down his paintbrush, walked to the window and stared out.

“He” came to Backlund following the guidance of fate. After receiving the revelation in his dream that becoming a god had nothing to do with him, “He” had nothing to do and spent most of his time painting murals.

Some of those murals were real events, and some were prophecies he saw. He painted these murals without any pattern and left his own power on each one.

When He was called to the Sanctuary, He would paint murals in the Sanctuary during that time. When He was called to the "God-forsaken Land", He would walk around the "God-forsaken Land" while looking for a suitable place to paint murals. He followed the guidance of fate and came to Backlund, where He painted murals.

But, just now... was there something? It seemed like Will Auceptin's aura... where did it go?

Ouroboros stood still in front of the window, his expression unchanged.

……

Alice felt that she should avoid it. She had a hunch that it was not a good thing. Being covered was definitely not a good thing for her. She instinctively wanted to escape.

But Alice gave up the idea as soon as it came to her mind. She suddenly felt like she was being locked in. She knew it was a fateful lock—Will Auceptin was staring at her through this inexplicable skin.

She must find a way to break this situation and make Will Auceptin give up the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to do something to her!

Alice's expression became even colder. She made up her mind to teach Will Auceptin a lesson when she returned. At the same time, she put aside the emotions that had affected her and thought with complete rationality.

There are two obvious solutions to this kind of malicious peeping. One is to let the other person see something they don't want to see, so that their eyes will be hurt and they will look away. The other is...

Attract the enemy's attention and meet His gaze!

Alice really couldn't communicate with Ouroboros. Without the honorific name of Ouroboros, even if she was actually the activated uniqueness, she couldn't do it.

But it was so easy to attract Ouroboros' attention.

Uniqueness is like a network, so all Extraordinary people of the same path are on this platform. Low-Sequence people are densely mixed together, like ants that are difficult to distinguish, but it is not the case with High-Sequence people. They are divided and occupy a piece of territory that belongs to them.

Of course, some powerful guys can hide their territory so that no one can find it. But Alice doesn't need to find it. Her original intention is not to find Ouroboros, she just wants to attract Ouroboros' attention.

This was too easy. The "Hidden Sage" gave her the best demonstration. Alice unceremoniously sent a spam advertisement to everyone. At that moment, she noticed countless eyes falling here.

There was a particularly heavy gaze among them. Alice couldn't easily find its location, but she knew who it was. It was her target - Ouroboros.

Then the gaze that was fixed on her no longer lingered on her tightly, and Alice noticed that the gaze had loosened a little, which was due to hesitation and fear.

Alice didn't care about this, she just knew that she had space to move freely again, and she took advantage of the sight becoming silky and sticky, and quickly pulled herself out from the middle, dodging the sack that was thrown at her.

This was very exhausting for her, and only after Alice dodged it did she realize her spiritual emptiness. She realized that sending mass advertisements was not an easy task - this might be the reason why the "Secret Peeper" channel has not yet died out.

However, it didn't matter that there wasn't much spiritual power left. Alice noticed that Will Auceptin, who had failed to hit her, had already looked away, and Ouroboros also looked away after a brief pause.

Now, her opponent was barely a Sequence 3, and a Sequence 3 trapped here, so she had a very quick solution.

In Richoed's fear, she turned her body, gradually transforming into a giant white snake from head to toe, sliding and wrapping around Richoed, her head holding her tail, and looking at Richoed with cold red eyes.

Rejord knew that there was a big problem as soon as Alice dodged away. She noticed Will Auceptin's support and naturally also noticed the retreating support, but the cycle of fate still trapped him. Obviously, the helpers he invited chose to escape.

But Richoed had no choice. He couldn't run away, but it was unlikely that a Sequence 3 would be defeated by a Sequence 4. He tried to struggle, but then the giant white snake wrapped around him. He faced reality as he felt dizzy with scales growing on his body. (End of this chapter)
