Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 70 Chapter 33 Plan to Save Evelin (Additional update that was not finished yesterday)

I hope he doesn't run away secretly... The last words I said are true.

After returning home, Alice muttered something in her heart without any guilt, and then began to think deeply.

After eliminating the interference of the fat pharmacist, there is only one possibility for the mercury snake to pay attention to her - the "lucky person" who was swallowed by her with extraordinary properties has an unknown connection with the mercury snake. .

Although it may have been cursed, after all, the other party was not "lucky" enough to fall to death, but with Megoose in front and Charlie King behind, Alice was more willing to believe that the other party's falling to death was her fault.

Of course, it is not impossible that the obvious disturbance she caused to the river of destiny when she first woke up attracted the other party's attention - after all, the goddess noticed it, and it was normal for the mercury snake to notice it.

But if this is the reason, then... there are too many high-sequences with fate-related abilities, I’m not saying that!

If this was really the reason, Alice would never believe that she could spend three years safely in Tingen City. She would rather believe that the problem was caused by the "lucky man".

……

Under night, there were only a few scattered pedestrians on the street.

The gloomy and gray environment was illuminated by gas lamps, and Evelyn Greenland walked down the street in the dim light.

Her shoes followed her brisk steps as they landed on the street, making a "ta, da, da" sound.

She was walking through streets and alleys on her way to her destination.

……what is that?
Evelyn Greenland's footsteps suddenly stopped, her eyes widened in horror, her reason told her that she should turn around and run away, or scream, but her body did not move.

——When a person is extremely frightened, he cannot move or make a sound.

Evelin watched helplessly as the terrifying monster approached her little by little, but could not take any action.

It was a huge dog, and it bared its teeth at her, revealing a huge white tooth with sharp tips that reflected the cold light.

There were mottled traces of rust on each tooth. As the opponent gradually got closer, the fishy smell coming from the mouth told Evelin that those traces were most likely flesh and blood that had not been cleaned.

Evelin saw her frightened self in the reflection of the other person's eyes. Her body trembled instinctively. She——

"Hiss!" Alice gasped.

She got up from the table, used her left hand that she could still feel to rub her forehead where she had just fallen, and looked at the light streaming in from the window, lost in thought.

Just now, she fell asleep sitting at the table for some reason, holding her head with her right hand. It wasn't until her head accidentally slipped and hit the table that she woke up from the pain.

It was a good thing, of course, because any later, Alice suspected she was going to lose her right hand.

Using her only remaining hand to rub her numb other hand, Alice began to think about the dream just now.

Predictive dreams are not an unfamiliar existence to Alice. Even if she receives a revelation without any clues, it is not uncommon for Alice.

But...Evelyn.

Alice, who had prayed just a few days ago not to let Evelin be the price, fell into deep thought.

She dreamed about this, couldn't it be because of her prayers? impossible?
Alice, who had lost her right hand, wanted to knock on the table, but she found that her right hand was still numb.

Alice could only continue to think while rubbing her hands very unaccustomedly. There are not many things related to time and place in the dream. If I have to say it, the moon is probably one. But sadly, Alice doesn't have enough astronomy skills, so she gets stuck at the first step.

This way it was impossible to confirm the time and place of Evelin's accident... Alice frowned. She thought for a moment, then came to the door of Greenland's house and knocked lightly.

"It's you, little Brielle," Mrs. Greenland opened the door, "You're here to see Evelyn, right? She's out today."

"Ah!" Alice showed a regretful expression, "What a coincidence? Did she say when she would be back?"

"She should be sleeping at her aunt's house today." Mrs. Greenland shook her head.

"That's it... Then I'll come find her another day." Alice waved her hand.

After declining Mrs. Greenland's invitation to sit in the room, Alice returned indoors, leaned back in her chair, and tapped the table with her right hand that had regained mobility.

After hearing the news that Evelin was not at home, Alice had a vague hunch that the dream would most likely happen tonight.

But knowing this doesn't seem to be of much use.

Backlund is much larger than Tingen City, and Alice is not familiar enough with the place. She still cannot determine where the location is based on the information in the dream.

Going to Mrs. Greenland to ask about Evelyn's specific location would help narrow down the search scope a bit... but she has no reason to do so!
Unless, she goes directly to Mrs. Greenland and tells her that I watched the sky at night and calculated that your daughter’s life is in danger tonight...

Whether her identity as an extraordinary person would be discovered is another matter. Alice seriously doubted that if she really did this, she would be beaten as a lunatic.

A gust of wind quietly slipped in through the window, lifting Alice's hair and flipping her cheek, bringing her new inspiration.

——Evelin has come to play at her house many times, and she might be able to pick up Evelin’s hair at home.

So, this wonderful afternoon ended with Alice rummaging around the house looking for hair from Evelyn.

"Fortunately, Evelin has long hair..." Alice crawled out from under the sofa, shook off the ashes on her head, looked at the hair in her hand and sighed helplessly.

After leaving the dreamland, Alice couldn't help but feel lucky that she had the foresight to find the person without any clues by using a divining staff to find the person...

After all, how could a demon dog be walking around the North End? Well, even if it's not a walk, it's a little unreasonable for this thing to appear in the North District.

After the location was basically confirmed, the next question Alice faced was how to save her.

Compared with other options, directly preventing Evelin from going out at night is definitely the most effective way. After all, judging from the situation in the dream, Evelin only encountered the monster by chance.

But... a chance encounter?
He just happened to leave a familiar area, he happened to go out at night by coincidence, and he happened to bump into a monster at the intersection...

Alice took out the coin and tossed it gently.

The coin swirled down from the air, and stood in Alice's palm amid the flickering light.

The divination failed.

But if divination fails, is it not an answer in itself?

　Yes, this chapter is actually an additional update that I didn’t finish yesterday.
