Mystery: Lucky One

Chapter 99 Chapter 61 Disaster Priest
After dinner, Alice arranged the ceremony to ask for the gift, and got her other main material from Klein - "The Hanged Man". The deal was finally completed, long live!
After a good night's rest, Alice set up the spiritual wall in the morning, prepared the potion ingredients, took a deep breath, and started mixing the potion.

This was her first time mixing a potion.

Looking at chemical experiment equipment such as measuring cylinders, beakers, test tubes, etc., Alice's nervousness was effectively relieved.

After all, there are chemistry experiments in the high school entrance examination experiments...

After getting familiar with the operation of these equipment, Alice officially started her first potion configuration.

The completed potion of the "Disaster Priest" showed a deep black color, and the potion was constantly surging, like a black wave.

The tide seemed to have an inexplicable attraction. Alice looked at the potion in the container obsessively, and felt that the potion exuded a charming color and smell.

Look, what a tempting potion... Hurry, get close to it, drink it, go...

She lowered her head and approached the potion with a drunken expression. When the tip of her nose was about to touch the potion, her movements suddenly stopped, and her expression gradually changed from intoxication to fear.

Alice straightened up in shock, took a few steps back, and stared at the bottle of potion warily, as if looking at some terrible devil.

But the potion still stayed in place, exuding an intoxicating aura. As long as she looked at it for a while, she couldn't help but want to get closer, and even closer...

Do not!
Alice pinched herself hard.

The pain brought a brief awakening. Alice closed her eyes and took a few steps back again, as if this could isolate the influence.

She... is longing for the magic potion in front of her!
It was a very strange feeling, and Alice didn't know how to describe it. In a daze, Alice remembered that it was exactly how she was attracted to pick up that extraordinary characteristic three years ago when she first woke up.

Even if she didn't fall, even if the Extraordinary Characteristics didn't accidentally fall into her mouth, she would probably swallow the Extraordinary Characteristics involuntarily.

——Just like she did when she got close to the potion uncontrollably.

"The law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics?" Alice lowered her head, looked at herself, then at the potion, and dug out a piece of occult knowledge from her memory that might be related to the current situation.

"No, that's not right..." Alice said to herself, denying her guess, "My state just now was more like instinct..."

With a complicated expression, Alice gathered her thoughts and approached the potion. She didn't even predict whether the potion was successful, so she took the potion and drank it in one gulp.

It looks like a liquid potion, but when it slides into your mouth, it tastes like a solid jelly. In an instant, countless information bloomed in Alice's mind like fireworks.

But she didn't feel pain because of it. She suddenly felt at ease. She felt as if her soul had left her body, constantly going up, up, and up again.

This is... where are we going?
who is she?

Why is she here?
As soon as the uneasy questions came to her mind, a sense of peace of mind emerged. She suddenly felt as safe as returning to her mother's arms, and she wanted to close her eyes comfortably and fall asleep like this.

……Mother?
What does that mean?

Words that emerged from the depths of her consciousness briefly awakened her consciousness, and she stared blankly, or rather felt.

She found herself in a river without knowing when.

This is a long and shining river that is difficult to describe in words and has countless tributaries. The illusory river kept flowing forward, submerging one tributary after another and returning them to the main trunk.

The flowing river of waves was beautiful and dreamy, as if the comfort of her mother's arms still enveloped her, and she subconsciously wanted to fall asleep again in such an environment.

"Whoa-!"

"Help!" "No!"

...who is crying?

The chaotic cries, screams and shouts came from the distance, causing her to frown while trying to fall asleep - if she really had "eyebrows" now and could really "frown".

In short, the noisy sound kept her from sleeping, and she became irritable, trying to see clearly what was going on.

No... this is too high, lower it, lower it...

She let her soul fall hard to see what was happening. She kept falling under the "river water", and finally, she saw the blond girl who had taken the potion.

The body that lost its owner fell to the ground, and the bottle containing the potion fell in the corner, seemingly rolling out of the girl's open palm.

That body gave her a sense of familiarity, and the distant crying in her ears still hadn't stopped, but it seemed to get smaller as she got closer to the body.

Maybe it would be quieter if we were closer?

She stretched out her hand and touched the girl lying on the ground.

Alice woke up.

"Huh? Why am I on the ground..." Alice propped herself up in confusion and climbed up from the ground. She found the bottle that had fallen down in the corner, frowned and began to recall what happened.

After configuring the potion, she was strangely attracted to the potion and woke up just in time...

She drank the potion and...

A tingling feeling that had not appeared for a long time faintly came from the depths of her soul. Alice, who was stopped by the warning, quickly stopped her memory. At the same time, this also made her even more confused.

She already knew that extraordinary people would have special reactions after taking potions, such as hearing gibbering, seeing hallucinations, such as...

No matter what it was, it was definitely not like her waking up from a coma unconsciously!

But she was very sure that she had definitely seen something, but...recalling those things seemed dangerous to her?
After a while, Alice sighed and started to pack her things.

After clearing away the messy utensils, Alice sat on the chair and began to try to search for the knowledge and abilities contained in the potion.

The Disaster Priest... can foresee disasters, and can also actively cause disasters... actively cause disasters?
"Whoa-!"

A vague, distant, and piercing cry made Alice frown.

This sound was different from the previous sounds that disappeared momentarily. It seemed to be continuous, so Alice concentrated on trying to find out the source and content of the sound.

In a daze, Alice thought she saw people running away in all directions, and...what else?
An illusory breaking sound suddenly appeared in her ears.

Alice felt that something was dissolving in her body and merging with her own spirit. She vaguely saw illusory stars one after another, and she was one of them. These stars were attracting each other and seemed to want to converge. As one body.

That's...a sign of the potion being digested.

　She finally reached Sequence 6 (wiping sweat)
