Mystery: Lucky One

Alice put down the ice cream in her hand, full of confusion.

As good as my spirit? What does that mean... Alice blinked, unable to come up with a conclusion, so she took another bite of ice cream and asked Klein:
"What do you mean?"

She waited for a long time but received no response from Klein, so she finished the last bite of ice cream in disappointment and began to think about what she could do next.

...Should I really set up a stall under the overpass?

Alice thought of the idea that had died in vain, and it seemed that it was not impossible to do so. However, when Alice thought of the extraordinary characteristics of "Chaos Walker" that she had left in the gray fog, her expression became strange.

...Are you still going?

After much hesitation, Alice, who had nothing to do, decided to give it another try.

However, Alice felt that she could not find a suitable bridge based on the results of her last divination. She might need to think of another way to find a suitable bridge.

...Where are we going?

It was not easy to make such a decision. Alice thought of Klein again, and the message that had no response, and could not help but call out to Klein again.

Still no one responded.

This made Alice a little worried. The life of a rich man was not very busy, and Klein could always find information to respond to her messages, although it seemed that Dwayne Dantes' kidneys were not in good condition.

She was no longer the little girl who had to come to the door. Although she thought that since Klein didn't call her, it was either okay or there was nothing she could do even if he called her, Alice only confirmed through her spirituality that there was no danger and began to observe Klein's situation.

She saw a circle of gray fog.

He's up there... Alice felt a little relieved, just as she wasn't worried that Will Auceptin would attack her now. Before Klein really became the Fool, Sefirah Castle shouldn't pose any threat.

She knocked twice on the gate of Sefirah Castle skillfully, but no one opened the door for her after waiting for a while. Only then did Alice realize that something was wrong.

——You know, even if a new person is pulled into the Tarot Club, Mr. Fool should not be unable to open the door for her.

What is Klein doing?
Alice couldn't figure it out. She suddenly felt that the gate of Sefirah Castle in front of her was an eyesore. She had the urge to do something to smash the gate, but the tiny bit of light on her body seemed to be just the residual influence and power. Alice knew clearly that it was impossible for her to really shake Sefirah Castle.

Moreover, if Klein is really doing something important, my actions might affect him...

Alice gritted her teeth. She suddenly felt that the connection between her and Klein was still too shallow. Just like now, she couldn't judge Klein's condition at all.

If only I had a way to tell if he was in danger or not... Alice muttered, gathering her spirituality.

Alice got up and paced about restlessly.

To be honest, she really wanted to pick a random person she didn't like and cause some trouble to ease her mood, but small troubles couldn't make her feel better, and big troubles...

Alice thought of Klein and sighed.

Klein didn't bring the news until dinner time. Alice sat up straight when the gray fog descended, listening to Klein's voice coming out of the gray fog.

After listening to Klein's description of his dual personality, she heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that the matter had been resolved. Then she couldn't wait to knock on the door of Sefirah Castle again.

This time, Klein allowed her entry without any surprise.

The matter had been resolved, so Alice no longer mentioned her previous worries. Instead, she looked at him with pity and asked:
"According to your analysis, your doll will develop its own personality one day, right?"

“…?” Klein looked at Alice in surprise. “The doll is already a corpse.”

"I still think it's a little different..." Alice frowned slightly, remembering that the puppet needed to have its own personality. Then she remembered that Klein said it was already a corpse. Her expression suddenly became strange. "No, wait a minute, I suddenly realized that you, the 'Puppet Master', are playing things so perverted!"

Klein looked at Alice in confusion, so she explained:
"Just now I suddenly thought of something like ice love, hypnosis play, role-playing..."

Klein raised his hand to stop her from speaking.

"Why don't you remember that you are not an adult at this time?" he asked expressionlessly.

Alice looked away guiltily, then forced herself to look at Klein again, defending herself:

"Oh, it just suddenly occurred to me! People's thoughts are not under their control, what can I do?"

Klein looked at her coldly.

Alice couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, so she tried to change the subject:

"You know what? Just now, when you were dealing with your other personality, I suddenly thought of something.

"Tell me, why isn't there a way for me to know that something has happened to you as soon as it happens? I mean a way to confirm the other person's safety..."

Klein was stunned by this idea. He looked at Alice, frowned, and said with a strange expression:
"In fact, I now have an ability that can play such a role."

"What is it!" Alice looked forward to it.

Klein glanced at Alice and said with a strange expression:
"If anything happens to me, my doll will be the first to know the answer..."

Alice was choked. She really had no way to refute this. The doll was indeed the first one to know that something happened to its master. After all, it had regained its freedom - and died freely.

Well, actually, he was already dead, so the situation after that might be more appropriately described as resting in peace.

But when this topic came up, Alice suddenly thought of something very dangerous. After all, this was not the first time Klein had this thought. Alice clearly realized that Klein was actually tempted by this idea - because it seemed that it could really prevent him from getting into trouble.

But Klein didn't do that. Alice thought there were two main reasons. One was the most important one, he couldn't beat her right now. As for the other one...

Klein himself said that the doll was already dead, and Alice didn't think he would want to become like that.

But Alice was panicking because she was different from Klein. She knew the scene in the adjacent pathway, and one of the adjacent pathways of the Fool's pathway - the "wrong" pathway - could actually solve the second problem.

Alice had once experienced being parasitized by Amon, and combined with the description of "Sun" Derrick, she actually knew exactly what Amon was capable of - He could completely control others while retaining his self-awareness!

This was very disadvantageous to Alice. She gritted her teeth and secretly made up her mind to make Klein give up this idea.

She clenched her fists and changed the subject again under Klein's confused gaze:

"Can you help me pick a suitable overpass?"

"What?" Klein asked doubtfully.

Alice then brought up her previous experience again. Klein recalled the things he had mentioned intermittently during Alice's narration. He frowned and said:
"Would you like to wait any longer?
"According to what you said, Will Auceptin will be born soon..." Alice also frowned. She certainly would not forget about it, but the days of waiting were really boring. She sighed and muttered in dissatisfaction:

"Hey, can Will Auceptin be born soon..."

Klein looked at Alice hesitantly, and finally gave up trying to dissuade her. He then brought up another matter:

"By the way, if Will Auceptin is born soon, your new name will be..."

Alice tilted her head to look at him.

“I haven’t thought about it yet.” Klein answered honestly.

Alice was silent for a moment. If she was to be reasonable, she couldn't blame Klein for this. After all, how could she leave her own honorific name to someone else to write? It was normal for Klein to not write it well.

She sighed and asked Klein, "How much have you thought about it?"

Klein then pulled out a piece of paper from the pile of junk. Alice saw two lines of text written on it. The first line read "Creator of Happiness and Miracles", and the second line read "Master of Misfortune and Disaster". Klein explained:

“I haven’t thought of the third sentence yet.”

Alice stared at the two honorific names for a moment, then she sighed and said:

"Your writing almost makes me think I'm a real god."

When she said this, her eyes stayed on the first sentence. After all, the second sentence was just neutral to her, but the first sentence...

To be honest, although this is her authority, she really doesn't think she is such a person.

This sounded so strange that Alice shuddered uncomfortably, then held the paper in her hand and asked:
"Tell me, can I be lazy about the third sentence? For example, if I were to say Ouroboros, I could just use words like so-and-so's followers..."

This was a bad idea that Alice came up with. Klein only glanced at her and denied it.
"I don't have a dependent like you."

Alice was choked by these words and said angrily:

"I didn't intend to use your name!"

This is true, because adding such words to the honorific name is equivalent to borrowing the person of the true God, which requires the consent of the true God himself.

Alice wasn't worried at all that Klein would reject her. What she was worried about was...how would Klein agree to this?
It's impossible that when someone prays for her, Mr. Fool will run above the gray fog and press the transfer button, right?
You know, the great Mr. Fool has not been able to automatically respond to prayers until now.

But Klein did give Alice a reminder. After all, the goddess had just refused to be her "mother", so it was not impossible for her to reject a devotee who was willing to pay him back.

——Yes, Alice was originally planning to go find the goddess.

Alice sighed, and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​rushing to find the goddess. She clenched her fists and said:

"Actually, I have another idea!"

Klein looked at her curiously.

Alice raised a confident smile, raised her chin to Klein, and asked proudly:

"In fact, logically speaking, my purpose is just to give Will Auceptin a new honorific name before he is born, to prevent him from directly locating me through the old honorific name..."

As Klein listened, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Due to his lack of understanding of the level of angels, he asked Alice:

"Can't you turn off the automatic response of the old honorific name? In the absence of a new honorific name?"

Alice curled her lips and explained to Klein:
"It can be closed. After all, it is not mandatory to have a honorific name to automatically respond...

"But, think about it, if someone called you, wouldn't you want to turn around and see who it was? Even if you didn't answer him.

"But in our situation, we will definitely be discovered if we just take a look..."

Klein silently remembered this in his heart, and then commented:

“Curiosity killed the snake.”

Alice couldn't refute this statement, so she chose to change the subject:
"Hey, listen to what I have to say!"

Klein then put on a posture of listening attentively, and Alice continued with satisfaction:

"In theory, my original purpose was just to prevent Will Auceptin from locating me through my honorific name after he was born. So, besides changing my honorific name, I actually have another way.

"I can solve the problem directly at the source and prevent Will Auceptin from being born!"

"Good idea," Klein agreed and even applauded. "So what are you going to do?"

This question stumped Alice. In fact, she had no idea at all. After all, she had never performed this kind of "restart" and had no experience in it. She also didn't know what Will Auceptin had up his sleeve.

Alice thought hard for a while and finally came up with a good idea. She sat up straight and said to Klein:

“Although I have no way to solve this problem, there is someone who does.

"Ourolus will definitely know what to do!"

"But," Klein questioned, "How are you going to lure Ouroboros here? How are you going to make sure Ouroboros will act according to your plan?"

This is indeed a problem, but the most critical part of this problem has been solved. Alice already has a perfect way to lure Ourolos over, and that is Allen.

She smiled mysteriously, then said to Klein:

“I know how to lure Ouroboros here. As for how you can make Ouroboros do what I want… uh, it seems like He can actually do nothing?
“I remember that Will Auceptin seemed to be very afraid that Ouroboros would be lured here. In fact, as long as Ouroboros appeared, Will Auceptin would definitely not be born as planned.

"……Right?"

She confirmed to Klein, who looked disapproving.

Klein shook his head and said to Alice:

"I don't know, because I don't often do this kind of gambling thing, I only know one thing.

"As far as I can remember, there are far more cases of premature births than delayed births." (End of this chapter)
