Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 81 Chapter 43 The frightened Alger (fourth update)
Alice almost blurted out that she was not an Extraordinary.

Fortunately, the Nighthawk alerted her in advance, otherwise she would have either made up a reason why she knew the Extraordinary, or exposed the truth about her ability to stay awake in dreams and glared at him.

"What is an Extraordinary?" Alice let her expression become confused.

……

Klein contacted Alice on Tuesday.

"There will be an exhibition commemorating Emperor Russell the Great from next Tuesday to Friday. It is located in the Kingdom Museum and is hosted by the Church of Steam and Mechanics. It is said that there will be Emperor Russell's invention manuscripts and various relics." Klein told Alice .

"Do you want to try to see if you can find the Card of Blasphemy?" Alice immediately understood what Klein meant.

"Don't you want it?" Klein asked.

"I'm afraid that the card of blasphemy will attract things to me that I shouldn't," Alice replied with self-knowledge. "Unless it's a card of 'destiny' path, I don't want to put that kind of thing on my body... Well, there is It would be nice to have a place to put things.”

Klein looked at Alice's envious expression as she looked at the palace, thought for a moment and said, "How about I give this place to you?"

"Then I'll give you my luck?" Alice rolled her eyes, "Let you experience what it feels like to have the potion ingredients fall directly into your mouth?"

They looked at each other and then moved away from each other.

……

Stepping into Bayam, the legendary city of generosity, Alice clearly noticed the huge difference between this place and Backlund and Tingen City.

"Pirates..." Her eyes flashed across the pirates in the tavern. Alice thought of the description of pirates in "The Hanged Man" and the life of the low-class people in Backlund, and let out a long sigh.

How many people live on the sea really do it for adventure and treasure hunting? Most of them are just people who can't survive on land.

After gathering her thoughts and stepping into the tavern that she had agreed with Alger "The Hanged Man", Alice naturally noticed a very conspicuous person.

...Isn't it really inappropriate for this guy to wear such a wizard's robe?

Alice looked at herself and then at the other person, falling into an eerie silence.

Alice adjusted her expression, trying her best to appear polite, then walked to sit down opposite Alger, the "Hanged Man", and said tentatively: "Odd will change to even?"

"Symbol, symbol, see, quadrant, limit." Unlike the skilled and fluent Alice, Alger of "The Hanged Man" obviously said this sentence word for word, and his pronunciation revealed an indescribable tone. eccentric.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hanged Man?" Alice greeted briskly.

Alger looked around at Alice's words and then corrected him: "Don't call me that outside."

"But in that case, what should I call you? Mr. Captain?" Alice asked seriously.

"...Alger, just call me Alger." After saying a few words to Alice, Alger successfully lost control of his expression. "My name is Alice, Alice Kingsley." Alice introduced herself politely.

Hearing this name, Alger's pupils shrank suddenly and his body even trembled a few times. Of course, this obvious reaction could not be hidden from Alice. Alice leaned forward curiously and asked, "Have you investigated me?"

Alger's body stiffened and he didn't reply.

Alice looked at Alger who was stiff, and asked in a confused voice: "Why are you so nervous? I think I can't beat you, right?"

"...I have indeed investigated you," Alger replied without moving. "Among the information I found, the only person who could possibly be you is a night watcher from the Church of the Night. He was accidentally swallowed three years ago. He became a 'lucky one' due to the extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 7, but..."

"However, she has died in the incident of the Evil God's Descendants in Tingen City, and her name is also Alice Kingsley." Alice added what he had not finished.

"..." Alger didn't speak, he just frowned and looked at her.

"If you have seen the portrait of Alice Kingsley, you will find that..." Alice paused for a moment, and then continued after seeing that Alger was completely focused on her words, "I It’s really the dead Alice Kingsley.”

Alice saw Alger's expression cracking again with satisfaction.

Alger... Alger is very confused now. He is a little worried about whether he can walk out of this tavern alive... No, he can probably survive at least until Miss Destiny gets her potion ingredients?
Alice is right, her immaturity as an Extraordinary is obvious, and just by the name "Lucky One", it is not a sequence that is good at fighting. They are both sequence 7, just based on the strength on paper. , Alice really can't beat him.

But...he couldn't forget Alice's words that sounded like a joke.

What if she is really the true God walking on earth?

——You know, with the character shown by Miss Destiny, it seems... quite normal to do such a thing.

Moreover, she does not seem to belong to this era, and she has an additional connection with Mr. Fool, and it is a relatively equal relationship...

Alice held her chin up and watched Alger thinking for a while, then asked abruptly: "What are you thinking about?"

Alger's thoughts were suddenly pulled back, although he was still not sure what he should say - perhaps, he could learn to salute Miss Destiny the same way he did when facing Mr. Fool? But if Miss Destiny was enjoying an ordinary life, she wouldn't like to be treated like this, right?

"Are you thinking about my relationship with Him?" Alice asked softly. She did not say the title, but just used a pronoun. She believed that Alger knew who she was referring to.

"I am indeed very curious." Alger pondered for a moment and admitted frankly based on his observation of Alice's character.

"Do you know that feeling?" Alice looked at Alger, recalling her state when she first woke up, her eyes a little misty, "That kind of feeling, waking up in a completely unfamiliar place, and you don't even know who you are. The feeling that you don’t even remember?”

Alger was slightly startled, but Alice didn't seem to want his answer, so she naturally continued her words:

"...I seem to have had a very long dream. When I first woke up from the dream, I couldn't remember who I was or where I came from. I only knew that the era in my memory was different from the present. Not even the slightest resemblance.

"And...and He is the only trace of the past that I can find."
