Mystery: Lucky

After listening to Derrick's description, Alice solemnly suggested:

“You better run away.

"The 'True Creator' is a very dangerous evil god. Even if His temple has been destroyed, there may still be dangers hidden that are difficult to detect.

"Moreover, the most dangerous thing may not be the temple itself, but your leader... You must know that the top of the 'Shepherd' path is the 'True Creator'."

Alger agreed: "Yes, if you are leading the team this time with other elders from the six-person council, it is not impossible for you to go, but the risk is very high, but you also said just now that the person responsible for this matter It’s ‘Shepherd’ Lovia, so she absolutely can’t go!”

After Derrick was silent for a few seconds, he said awkwardly: "However, the mission must be accepted."

"Perhaps, you can try pretending to be sick...er, injured?" Alice asked hesitantly.

Even Audrey understood how unreliable this idea was, and she asked tactfully: "Will that be discovered?"

"Then you are really injured," Alger said with a low smile, "Will you still participate in patrols before this mission? Find an opportunity and deliberately let the monster hurt yourself. You can refer to Silver City for the specific scale. Past examples.”

Derrick showed an expression that said, "That's okay."

Alice suddenly understood and asked Alger a very inappropriate question, "Mr. Hanged Man, do you often do this? Why do you sound so experienced in this kind of thing?"

Alger opened his mouth twice, but no words came out.

Fortunately, at this time, Derrick, who was confused and surprised, came to Alger's rescue: "But, I have no patrol missions recently..."

"The Hanged Man" Alger shouted:

"You can pretend that you are close to losing control, no, to be precise, you are getting close to losing control. In this case, I think the senior management of Silver City will definitely not bring a 'dangerous object' that can explode at any time to explore. ?

"Here's a trick. As long as you keep your spirituality in a relatively dry state for two consecutive days, you will have auditory hallucinations and signs of losing control. If you don't continue to squeeze, the situation will get better within a week. It will really get out of control.

"Of course, your Silver City must have methods and measures to treat those who are in danger of losing control, and recovery should be faster. Therefore, you have to estimate the time well, and it is best to start two or three days before departure."

Alice looked at Alger dumbfounded, feeling that she had underestimated Mr. "The Hanged Man" before.

Audrey was stunned after hearing this, feeling that she had learned something incredible again.

Derrick was also stunned for a long time, and after a long time he murmured to himself: "Yes, people who show signs of losing control will be controlled and isolated in the underground of the round tower, and receive medicine, rituals and magical items. Treatment, if the condition is mild, is to take medication only.”

Observing that Derrick was still hesitant about this, Alice asked doubtfully: "What makes you willing to risk death to participate in this exploration?"

"I don't want to deceive the elders of Silver City..." Derrick replied.

Alice tilted her head in confusion, and then asked: "But you will die if you go? Why should you hesitate?"

"But if I don't go, someone else will go." Derrick replied.

"So, you're going to sacrifice yourself?" Alice asked thoughtfully.

Alice thought of the teacher who pushed her away in her memory, and of Captain Dunn in Tingen City, and suddenly realized that she had never understood why someone would be willing to do this.

Even when she wanted to become a Nighthawk, she just wanted to be recognized and no longer be treated as a child; even when she didn't want others to be the cost, she just hated the feeling of having no control over her destiny.

Why would anyone be willing to sacrifice themselves to protect others? Even strangers who have never met before...

Before Derrick answered again, Alger asked: "Do the other elders of the six-person council know that the 'Fallen Creator' controls the 'Shepherd' path?"

"I don't know." Derrick shook his head honestly.

Alger asked again: "Do you think 'Shepherd' Elder Lovia might cause harm to Silver City? Just answer yes or no, don't explain."

"...Yes." Derrick couldn't deceive himself in the end.

The flow of this line was particularly familiar, and Alice quickly realized that Alger was providing psychological counseling to Derrick. After all, Derrick is the only one who knows about this, and he has no way to remind others for the time being.

As expected, Alger used this as an excuse to successfully convince Derrick, who was still hesitating. Derrick, who was so deceived, gritted his teeth, nodded solemnly and said:

"I see!

"Thank you, Mr. Hanged Man."

Alice looked at Alger in amazement, feeling that the other person really knew how to talk. Audrey and Forsi forcibly resisted the urge to cover their faces with their hands.

Next, "The World" said: "I have a question to ask Mr. Sun. This may involve transactions. I request to communicate alone."

Then, Mr. Fool in the gray mist nodded and said, "Okay."

Alice looked at this scene and suddenly remembered the test of drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right hand, and began to think about whether Mr. Fool could do different things with the large and small trumpets at the same time.

Hey, if he is like this, he can use one account to work outside and another account to play at home... although there seems to be nothing fun here.

No, if he has several small accounts, he can play Landlord with them... no, fight evil.

After "World" finished communicating with Derrick, no one proposed a deal, and the Tarot Club entered the free chat session.

Alice tilted her head, thinking of the invitation letter she received in the morning, and looked at Audrey and asked: "Ms. Justice, do you know Viscount Greylint?"

Fors and Audrey were both surprised.

"Do you know him too? Miss Magician?" Alice asked without caring about the atmosphere at all.

"Uh..." Fors didn't know what to say, she didn't even have the mood to guess Audrey's identity.

Audrey, who had a certain understanding of Alice and was an extraordinary person of the "audience" path, quickly adjusted her mood and smiled reservedly: "What do you want, Miss 'Destiny'?"

"Ah..." Alice blinked twice and replied, "I'm just a little curious."

Sure enough... Audrey continued to smile and asked: "Did you hear his name from someone?"

Alice stared at Audrey for two seconds, turned her head away and said: "No, I'm not curious now."

Audrey, whose rhetoric was discovered, deeply reflected on her mistakes.

Are you guys raising books? (squirming darkly)
