Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 75Chapter38 "Era"

Queens, in the luxurious villa of Earl Hall's family.

"Why did you suddenly come to visit so early?" Audrey looked at the sky outside, and then at Viscount Gray Lint in front of her.

Gray Linte looked around and only found a big golden retriever dog squatting next to him, so he lowered his voice and said: "I originally planned to go to the racecourse, but I met Cons on the way, and he told me something very interesting. The thing is really interesting, I thought I would just pass by here, so I came over to share it with you."

"What's going on?" Audrey asked with interest.

Gray Linte replied without paying attention to the words: "You should have heard of the Aurora Society, right? It is the Aurora Society that assassinated Ambassador Intis. They were caught and several important members died. A very big The plot failed."

Audrey's eyes lit up and she asked reservedly: "What's the plot?"

"I don't know. Cons refused to tell me. He only told me that the person responsible for this plot was a wanted fraudster in the past, a fraudster named Lanerwus." Gray Linte spread his right palm.

Audrey nodded invisibly and asked without hiding her curiosity: "Has he been caught?"

"He died, but not in the hands of our people." Graylint paused and said, "This is what I said is very interesting. When his body was found, it was covered with many Tarot cards. In the center are the 'Wheel of Fortune' and 'The Fool' cards, just imagine that scene..."

Tarot cards? "Wheel of Fortune" and "Fool" cards? Audrey was stunned at first, and then "realized":
This is what our Tarot Club members do!
Is this... what Mr. Fool ordered Miss Destiny to do?
Sure enough, I guessed right, there are other connections between Miss Destiny and Mr. Fool!
She, she may be Mr. Fool's favored one...but will the favored one really treat gods like Miss Destiny?

……

After leaving the responsibility of researching the role of the badge to Klein, Alice went home contentedly.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the new week's Tarot session also began.

Audrey looked directly up and said briskly: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool. The 'simple' task you entrusted has been completed."

When Miss Justice deliberately emphasized the word "simple" and turned her probing gaze to herself, Alice knew that the ritual-like scene had been known to the other party.

I wonder what Miss Justice will think of?

Alice greeted Audrey's observation happily and winked at Audrey.

Before Audrey could think about Alice's intentions, Klein's plain voice sounded: "I already know."

After saying this, he sighed leisurely: "This era, this Backlund, this East District, the dock area and the factory area are really a breeding ground for the evil god to come."

What? Alger, who thought he had listened to the whole thing, was stunned for a moment and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Why would a simple task involve the hotbed where the evil god descends?

Alice, who had never thought about it in this direction, was slightly startled.

At this time, the gloomy and restrained "World" chuckled and said:

"Yes, whenever I see and hear about child laborers who die in large numbers in their teens, most workers who rarely survive past the age of thirty due to overwork and harsh conditions barely survive the previous trials but are unemployed due to old age and lack of For the elderly people who can only wander on the streets and die of hunger and cold, I have no doubt about the existence of evil gods. They are on the ground, in the East End, dock area and factory area.

"Oh, there are even survey reports that it is difficult for workers in some factories to survive more than five years.

"And in the East District of Backlund, there is a saying that the residents living there, my grandfather's generation must be foreigners, without exception." The true meaning of this sentence is that the people there will not have third parties. In this generation, I cannot have grandchildren.

"Poverty and hunger make their children very thin and difficult to adapt to hard work. They will quickly wither in Backlund, let alone get married and have the next generation."

The words "The World" not only caused Audrey to be shocked and confused, but also made Alice truly realize what kind of era she was in.

"Huanhuan" lives in a peaceful and stable modern society, far away from famine and war. To her, these things only exist in textbooks and news.

Alice, who has been held captive by the Nighthawks for three years, also lacks understanding of the lives of the lower class in this era.

Alice murmured as if she was talking to herself: "It turns out that in this era, this is how the people at the bottom live..."

Audrey, who was shocked and confused by this shocking fact, didn't notice it, but Alger immediately noticed Alice's strange word choice.

……this era?
Thinking of Mr. Fool, who was suspected of being the resurrected ancient god, Alger suddenly had a suspicion about Alice's origins.

Maybe she also comes from some distant era? Maybe she and Mr. Fool come from the same era? Maybe, she, no, maybe she was once him, and she and Mr. Fool were old friends...

——It must be said that this may be the closest Mr. "The Hanged Man" has ever come to the truth.

"Thank you, Mr. Fool, for saving Backlund. Your sigh also helped me understand the root of the problem. Thank you, Mr. World, for letting me know many things that I didn't know before." Delly calmed down her emotions and sincerely thanked the two gentlemen sitting at the top and bottom of the ancient long table.

Alger had to start thinking again about how much trouble this "simple" task caused.

As for Derrick... Derrick is trying to understand more.

When Mr. Fool's gaze came to him, Alger immediately understood what he meant and hurriedly handed over the last page of Russell's diary.

After reading the diary, Mr. Fool leaned back slowly, smiled slightly and said, "You can communicate freely now."

Who would have thought that Mr. Fool only had Sequence 8 when he saw this... Alice secretly muttered, and then looked at Alger impatiently: "Mr. 'The Hanged Man', you didn't suddenly change your mind about what you promised me, right?"

"We can agree on the code now."

"Secret code..." Alice glanced at Klein, rolled her eyes, and raised her hand, "Mr. Fool, I request to communicate alone."

What kind of trick is she trying to do... After blocking the others, Klein nodded towards Alice, indicating that they were now communicating alone.

So, Alice looked at Alger mysteriously: "Mr. 'The Hanged Man,' you know the code where I say one sentence and you say the next, right?"

"Such a code can be easily seen through by others," Alger emphasized.

"No," Alice said firmly, "no one except our contemporaries can answer this code."

　When everyone else gets serious

　　Alice: (Sit obediently) (Swing feet under the table) (Pretend to take notes and draw on paper) (Secretly kick the stool legs) (Study the relationship between the elasticity and thickness of shoe soles by stepping on the bench legs with different strengths)
　　A version of you during class (no one either)
　　This book will be on the shelves tomorrow...I believe you won't let me cancel my first order, right? No way?
