Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 83 Chapter 45 The out-of-control wind
Even Alice, who knew little about the ocean, could feel the brewing storm in the air.

But...Alice felt something else in her field of expertise.

She ran to the edge of the deck without saying hello to the sailor, stood on tiptoes and leaned out, squinting her eyes to observe the water.

"What are you doing!" The sailor hurriedly grabbed Alice, fearing that she would be taken down.

"Call someone who is good at fighting underwater," Alice said, looking at the water, "or call your captain over."

"But..." The sailor opened his mouth, but he still didn't give up the idea of ​​pulling Alice away.

"By the time the brewing disaster takes full shape, it will be too late." Alice stared at the water without blinking.

It was a very strange feeling. She could clearly sense that there was something somewhere under the water, which was adding a very uncomfortable feeling to the area.

That feeling didn't actually cause any harm to her, but it filled her with discomfort. If I had to give an example, it would be... air with a humidity of 99%?
You can't see the water hidden in the air, but every breath you take gives you a suffocating feeling of being wrapped in water.

Alice closed her eyes and tried to push away the feeling.

...Can’t do it, still can’t do it.

It was like this every time - she could see it, she could feel it, but she just couldn't make any impact.

Alice frowned irritably, turned her head to look at Alger who was called over, and said directly without waiting for him to ask questions: "The thing I'm looking for is under the water."

"Are you sure?" Alger walked over and looked at the water where nothing could be seen. "We should still have some distance to go before we can get there."

"...I didn't see them on the deck, which was beyond my expectation," Alice responded with an anxious tone, "You know, that Charlie King almost turned into Extraordinary characteristics and fell into my mouth. "

Alger was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked a question: "Is the angel behind him worried that he will become an ingredient in your potion?"

"...a guess worth considering," Alice confirmed Alger's guess, "So, why don't you jump down yet?"

"...Even 'sailors' don't really want to fight underwater," Alger explained. "Do you have a way to lure them up?"

"If I were Sequence 6 now, maybe I would." Alice said quietly.

"Then do you have a way to determine the specific location?" Alger continued to ask.

"Yes, but I can't tell you," Alice spread her hands, "Unless you have a way to let me move underwater... Then I can take you there."

Before Alger could speak, Alice added: "But I'm not good at underwater...forget it, I'm not that good at fighting on land either."

Alger handed an armpin to Alice without saying a word.

"This is it?" Alice took it, looked at the sunless sky, and put down her hand in disappointment.

"Extraordinary items that allow you to move in water," Alger explained.

"...Shouldn't you confirm whether I can protect myself in the water? Just take me into the water like this?" Alice raised questions about Alger's mysterious trust.

"...Then do you have it?" Alger asked in unison for some unknown reason.

"No," Alice put on her arm pins, supported the guardrail with one hand, and stood on tiptoes to indicate her height, "But she probably won't die."

"You want to jump directly?" Alger was a little surprised when he saw Alice's intention.

"Doesn't it feel better this way?" Alice blinked, "I think it's time to shout 'you jump, I jump'..." "What is that... Hello!" before Alger finished speaking. At this moment, Alice was caught off guard and climbed over the guardrail, fell into the water, and disappeared smoothly into the water.

As Alger said, wearing the armpins did give Alice the ability to move in the water - it does not mean that she actually learned to swim, but that she realized the basics of swimming and she will not sink.

However, the most important thing is of course allowing her to breathe in the water.

Closing her eyes, the source of the discomfort became clearer. Before Alger, who jumped down to find her, opened his mouth to say something, Alice grabbed Alger and pointed her hand in the direction of the bottom of the boat.

Alger frowned, reached out to grab Alice, and led her closer to the bottom of the boat.

When they dived deep enough and Alger was about to swim over with Alice, Alice suddenly had an intuition. She instinctively pulled Alger hard.

After Alger turned his head, Alice shook her head twice with great movements, then pulled him and pointed to the water.

——While doing this, Alice kept thinking about whether Alger might think she was sick.

But Alger seemed to have a blind trust in her - Alice suspected that Alger took the lies she casually told seriously, such as about the true god walking on the earth...

In short, Alger brought her back to the surface without any doubt.

Then, the moment they came out of the water, they were swept up by the strong wind.

——Being rolled up together with them, there were two snakes half as tall as a man with horns on their heads.

It's her potion ingredient!
However, Alice was not in a happy mood as she was swept up into the sky by the wind.

While under the water, Alice had a strange premonition - the storm had escaped the control of the two snakes.

why? Because of her proximity?

No one knows the answer.

Alice and Alger, together with the two Manovan snakes, were thrown heavily to the deck by the wind.

That doesn't mean they're safe.

The fierce wind seemed to have no intention of stopping and seemed to want to capsize the entire ship.

...damn it!
Alice took advantage of the wind and fell next to one of the snakes. She quickly grabbed the snake's horns and tried to break them off.

Of course, the snake that still had the breath of life would not let Alice do this. Its huge mouth bit the shoulder Alice sent over without mercy.

Fortunately, this is a non-venomous snake... Alice, who looked pale, thought during the interval of severe pain.

After Alice gritted her teeth and broke off one of her horns, she successfully won the wrestling match.

The bite force of the Manovan snake was much weaker, and Alice took the opportunity to break off the other horn.

She collapsed weakly on the ground, and her spirituality quietly penetrated the two corners, touching the feeling in the air that had always made her uncomfortable.

Sure enough... Even though her spirituality was rapidly depleting and the severe pain on her shoulder was close to numbness, Alice couldn't help but feel happy - it seemed that she could have a real impact on her destiny.
