Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 91 Chapter 53 “Anchor”

Bernadette, who failed to explore the cause of the sense of threat, looked at Alice. The feeling at that moment seemed to be an illusion, but thinking of what the other party had just said, Bernadette answered Alice's question cautiously: "Promotion to sequence 0, he needs to" The extraordinary properties of the Mercury Serpent and the uniqueness of the Wheel of Fortune."

"The extraordinary characteristics of the 'Mercury Snake' and the uniqueness of the 'Wheel of Fortune'..." Alice repeated Bernadette's words, her voice still without too many emotional fluctuations, "First of all, what can be determined is that there is nothing in me. It may have the extraordinary properties of the 'Mercury Snake'."

Bernadette slowly frowned as she looked at Alice who was analyzing calmly.

"So... what is the uniqueness of 'Wheel of Fortune'?" Alice's eyes fell on Bernadette.

The threatening feeling that she couldn't find the reason for reappeared, as if there was an invisible net wrapped around her. As long as her answer was not satisfactory, the net would shrink and then... hang her.

It was even difficult for Bernadette to tell whether she was more frightened now or the gaze of the Hidden Sage. She looked at Alice and replied in the calmest voice possible: "Sequence 1 becomes Sequence 0, and it needs to accommodate the The uniqueness of the path, 'Wheel of Fortune' is the name of sequence 0 of the 'destiny' path you mentioned."

The invisible net disappeared silently. Bernadette saw that Alice frowned, showing an expression of distress that suited her age and temperament. She curled her lips and muttered: "In other words, I might be ' The uniqueness of destiny's path? Or, or what's the connection?"

Bernadette looked at Alice, whose movements, demeanor, and tone unconsciously revealed a bit of childishness, and asked tentatively: "Do you feel... that there is something wrong with your state at certain times?"

"What?" Alice looked at Bernadette blankly.

"Divinity is a kind of pollution aimed at high-sequence extraordinary people," Bernadette said solemnly. "After entering high-sequence, extraordinary people need to constantly fight against divinity in order to maintain their humanity."

Alice was slightly startled.

Of course she knew something was wrong with her at certain times, which made her frightened and uneasy, but she was unable to do anything about it, and she couldn't even find a reason.

She could only watch as she turned into a completely unfamiliar self.

This change is obvious at some moments, but more often, it is a subtle change, and Alice is not even sure whether her current self is affected.

So...that influence comes from her connection to Oneness? Is that divine pollution? No, that's not right either... Can the divine influence people from such a distance? But, at least the general direction should be fine...

Alice frowned and asked, "So... while uniqueness brings me strength, it also affects me, or pollutes me?"

"This is just my guess." Bernadette frowned and looked at Alice. She actually wanted to explore Alice's status and her relationship with uniqueness, but it was obvious that even Alice herself didn't know the answer. Considering the source of the threatening feeling just now, Bernadette thought it was best not to force Alice to do something she didn't want to do.

——No matter what relationship Alice has with uniqueness, no matter whether that relationship will affect Alice's humanity, at least before Alice loses her humanity, the invisible net can strangle her.

Alice asked thoughtfully: "...Assuming your guess is correct, do you know how to solve this problem?"

"Have you heard of 'anchor'?" Bernadette asked.

"'Anchor'?" Alice repeated the sentence and made her own guess, "'Anchor' that stabilizes humanity?"

"Have you heard of it?" Bernadette asked in surprise.

"I was just guessing." Alice blinked twice.

"...To be precise, the function of 'anchor' is to stabilize the mental state. Generally speaking, starting from angels, extraordinary people need the help of 'anchor'." Bernadette was silent for a moment and explained. "Stabilize the mental state...start with angels..." Alice repeated Bernadette's words, remembering her original question - why do gods want to preach?

With the last piece of information completed, Alice finally found the answer to the question: "Believers are the 'anchors' of gods?"

These disrespectful words caused an obvious change in Bernadette's mood.

This is not a difficult problem to figure out. After knowing the existence of "anchor" and Sequence 0, and understanding that divinity is actually pollution, the meaning of believers to gods is obvious.

The real difficulty is getting it out of your mouth like Alice.

For extraordinary people who know the existence of the true God, even unbelievers cannot maintain Alice's state of mind.

"...Are those people you mentioned like you?" Bernadette couldn't help but ask.

"Like me?" Alice repeated in confusion. She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

Bernadette looked at Alice and sighed helplessly: "You seem to have no respect for the gods - whether it is mentioning the 'Fool' or making such speculation just now."

Alice was silent for a moment and finally said: "No, I am a believer of the goddess."

Bernadette frowned and looked at Alice, realizing that she also didn't show much respect when she said this.

Seeing Bernadette's doubtful eyes, Alice shrugged and sighed: "Okay... But no one will believe in a Sequence 7, right? Even if I am about to become a Sequence 6..."

"Wait a minute," Bernadette interrupted Alice urgently, "Do you have Sequence 7?"

"Yes." Alice nodded, not finding anything strange at all.

"Didn't you say you were only 15 or 16 years old?" Bernadette looked at Alice incomprehensibly.

Alice stared at Bernadette, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "I think it's abnormal that I didn't directly transform into Sequence 1."

"..." Bernadette looked at Alice's serious expression, remembered the speculation about uniqueness, and finally chose to change the subject, "Tell me the honorable name of the 'Fool' you mentioned."

"Wow, do you want to pray?" Alice asked with interest.

"I don't have the habit of praying to strange evil gods." Bernadette looked at Alice's excited expression and emphasized weakly.

Remembering what she had done, Alice glanced secretly to the side, pretending that she was concentrating on studying the pattern on a tourist's hat.

Bernadette looked at Alice's expression and suddenly made some guesses as to why she found the "Fool".

　Bernadette: I don’t have the habit of praying to strange evil gods
