Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 98 Chapter 60 Will Auceptin
The next morning, Alice got the newspaper from the mailbox.

Unsurprisingly, the news about the twelfth victim was printed on the front page of the newspaper. Alice looked at the news, recalling the scene of the demon dog growling and retreating, and silently turned the page.

Alice looked through all the newspapers and determined that the theft of the museum was only mentioned in an inconspicuous corner of the newspaper, without even explaining what items were stolen.

Realizing that the Church of Steam did not seem to intend to let this matter spread widely, Alice put away the newspaper and went to the church after breakfast to complete her daily tasks.

The fact that Evelin's figure appeared from inside the church was not enough to cause Alice any surprise. She just quietly looked away and hid in the crowd, pretending that she had not noticed it.

But Alice still frowned quietly.

If the initial encounter with Evelyn was just a coincidence of being a neighbor and a girl of the same age, after the other person became the bait deliberately released by the Nighthawks, Alice realized that their fate seemed to be a little too deeply involved.

This is not a good thing... Alice sighed silently in her heart.

Just as the next sequence of "The Lucky One" is the "Priest of Disaster", for Alice, who is too deeply involved in "destiny", the unpredictable fate may not pose a threat to her, but to the people around her, it will never be a threat. Good thing.

——You can tell just by looking at Shen Yinghuan.

Alice is relieved about Klein, because there is obviously a problem hidden in Klein, and it is not certain which of the two of them has the bigger problem...

But in the final analysis, Evelin was supposed to be just an ordinary girl. If it weren't for Alice, she would never have known about the existence of the extraordinary world in her life. But now... To be honest, Alice is very worried now. One day, she will not pay attention to Evelin. Lin might become a Nighthawk.

After praying, Alice returned home as if nothing had happened and continued drawing her comics.

"The Demon King, who had been sleeping for a thousand years, opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the dagger in the hand of his former student...Okay, let's stop here!" Alice put away her pen with satisfaction.

The story of this comic comes from the combination of Shen Yinghuan's memory and the experience of Tingen City. So far, the foreshadowing part has been completely completed, followed by the slowly revealed world background and story climax.

After drawing a plot, Alice wanted to relax, but suddenly overlapping gray fog spread in front of her eyes.

Ah...it's Klein...

Alice blinked blankly and heard Klein's voice: "Come on, I met that unlucky guy in the club!"

After blinking twice blankly, Alice remembered someone she had forgotten in the corner - Dr. Allen, who was said to have strange luck.

Outside the Cragg Club, Alice managed to crouch down to Dr. Allen, who was on crutches.

It was indeed affected... but it seemed like it was just an accident? Alice glanced at Dr. Allen thoughtfully. Alice, who already knew from Klein that Dr. Allen would go to church, shook her head and left.

……

"Did he say when did he start having bad luck? What was the reason?" Alice asked Klein above the gray fog.

"There is one thing that may be related," Klein said thoughtfully, "He had a patient before, a little boy of about ten years old..."

"Wait a minute," Alice interrupted Klein, "A little boy about ten years old? What does he look like?"

"I didn't ask..." Klein replied hesitantly, "Is there any problem with this?"

"...When I saw the mercury snake, his image was that of a little boy about ten years old." Alice replied with her eyebrows pinched. "You suspect that what he met was..." Klein slowly frowned.

"The bad luck on him should have just happened accidentally." Alice shook her head.

"That's easy to understand," Klein suddenly realized, "That child needed to have his left leg amputated due to some accidents..."

"..." Thinking of the scene when the other party was almost hit by a carriage that day, Alice's mouth twitched.

Klein continued:
“The day before the child’s surgery, Dr. Allen went to the ward specifically to find him and found that he was quite restless and playing tarot cards. This was an item he brought with him when he was admitted to the hospital and was not even allowed to be taken away by his family.

“In order to make him relax, Dr. Allen played tarot divination with him.

"At that time, Dr. Allen turned over a card, which was the 'Wheel of Fortune' reversed.

"The child looked at Dr. Allen, smiled very pure and innocently and said:

"Doctor, your luck will get worse."

"Doctor, your luck will get worse..." Alice repeated the other person's words, "Sister, you look scared, don't you?"

Klein looked at Alice, listened to her finish two sentences in a childlike tone, and said hesitantly: "When you repeat it like this, I almost doubt that it was you who Allen met..."

Ah, this... the innocent Alice fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a moment, Alice then asked: "What's behind? What happened behind?"

"The child's surgery went well and he was successfully discharged from the hospital... Oh, by the way, that child's name is Will Asceptin." Klein replied.

"Will Auceptin..." Alice repeated the other person's name, suddenly showing an innocent smile, looking at Klein's suddenly stiff expression, and said, "Kline, go get to know that mercury snake."

"Huh?" Klein showed a confused expression.

"Let Him see what's in your destiny. Well...an angel will never lose control because of this. Aren't you curious?" Alice blinked.

Klein thought of a certain monster in Tingen City who was almost blind, and thought of Alice's attitude as if he had seen a ghost when she first saw him, which really aroused his curiosity.

"You don't need to do anything deliberately. If you want to meet, fate will always arrange for you to meet," Alice knocked on the table and said, "Just don't resist!"

"Why does it always sound weird..." Klein complained in a low voice, "But, He wants to kill you, right? What if He finds out that we two know each other?"

"Then...it depends on fate." Alice shrugged.

"...You weren't like this before." Klein reminded Alice while looking at her who left everything to fate.

"I know," Alice sighed, "but in order to have the strength to struggle in the face of fate, I must at least be a demigod, right? Well... demigods may not even be enough. After all, there is a gap between angels and saints. It’s not that big either…”

　Why is it so late? Because I'm working on the manga (eye shift)

　　Do you want to change the name... The original name is no longer suitable, but I won’t be able to think of a new one for a while (squirming)
