Mystery: Lucky

Three o'clock on Monday afternoon, above the gray fog.

Audrey was the first to put on a smile, stood up and saluted the leader: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool∽"

After receiving a gentle nod in response, Audrey said hello to "The Hanged Man", "Magician" and others in turn.

This has become a daily task of the Tarot Club. Alice nodded happily after hearing Audrey's brisk "Good afternoon, Miss Destiny∽", and then watched Audrey continue to say hello to others. .

Even the most gloomy-looking "World" nodded under Klein's control and responded to Audrey's greetings.

In such an atmosphere, Derrick's absent-mindedness became particularly conspicuous.

"What are you worried about?" Audrey looked at Derrick and asked after completing the greeting, which spared others who were curious about his situation no need to speak anymore.

Derrick "The Sun" did not hide anything. He immediately told the story in full about how he had successfully "pretended to be sick" and was sent to the bottom of the round tower for isolation treatment. He then asked:

"Dear Mr. Fool, will that magical object find out that I am attending a Tarot session?"

Unable to observe Mr. Fool's expression through the gray fog, Audrey turned her gaze to Alice and saw Alice who pursed her lips in time to prevent herself from laughing out loud.

...She thinks this worry is funny and unnecessary?

Audrey tried to guess Alice's thoughts, but she didn't know that Alice laughed simply because she thought Mr. Fool didn't know the answer to the question either...

Klein in the gray mist secretly complained about this matter in his mind, then tapped the edge of the long bronze table with his fingers, and said with a relaxed smile: "Normally it can't be discovered, but some magical items have strange effects. ”

Mr. Fool's affirmative reply successfully made Derrick feel relieved. He said "hmm" and said, "I don't know what special effects it has. This is one of the top secrets of Silver City."

Having said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something and blurted out: "Have you ever heard of Amon?"

Amon?

This name was like a floodgate. After Derrick opened the gate, a torrent of memories poured out. Alice held her head and gasped.

This made both the confused Audrey and Forsi, as well as Klein and Alger, who had some understanding of the name, look at Alice.

But Alice was not in the mood to pay attention to these at the moment. She endured the pain and waited for the torrent of memories to subside. After that, she began to try to sort out those memories.

The first thing she remembered was the picture - there was a man in a black trench coat like a robe, black leather shoes, black trousers, a wide forehead, and a top hat. He had a thin face and a polar ring on his right eye. Wearing distinctive monocle crystal glasses, he was leaning close to Klein in an intimate manner.

After skipping the countless pictures of two people with and without clothes on the back, Alice turned to the last memory that emerged, which was also the first memory.

The familiar girl in school uniform took her hand and mysteriously hid in the room. She heard her confused voice: "Xiaosong? Where is the thing you said you wanted to show me?"

As she spoke, she looked left and right and glanced at the book spread out on the desk - Song Shu, Class 1 (7), Senior High School.

Song Shu... Xiaosong...

Alice's thinking didn't last long when she saw Song Shu put her index finger on her lips and made a "shh" gesture, then locked the door mysteriously, walked to the desk, and dug out the drawer from the bottom. A rolled up poster.

Alice watched her perspective get closer and closer, and finally stopped next to Song Shu. She heard herself ask: "What is this?"

Song Shu pulled her to sit down and spread the poster on the table. Alice... saw a huge clock.

This clock is evenly divided into twelve parts with scales written in ancient Roman numerals. A...crow, or a male with black wings, is sitting on the hands. The unknown light falls on the clock, making this The shadow of a man is engraved on the clock face.

Alice concentrated on the appearance of this man. He was wearing a black robe-like trench coat, black pants and black leather shoes. He wore a monocle over his right eye...

Monocle!

Before Alice fell into association, her eyes followed Song Shu's fingers and she saw Song Shu opening a notebook with three lines of text written on it:

"Playing with the hands of time,

"Wandering in the shadow of fate,

"The personification of fraud and mischief."

...Amon.

The scene in her memory shattered, but Alice had already remembered the identity of the man in the picture. She opened her eyes, looked at the little sun, and whispered:

"Son of the Creator, Blasphemer, Angel of Time, God of Deception and Mischief..."

Every time she uttered a word, the other people's faces became more shocked and frightened. By the time she stopped speaking, the Tarot Club had fallen into silence. Only Little Sun asked nervously:

"Miss Destiny, are you talking about Amon?"

Alice reached out and rubbed her temples, then looked at Derrick and replied, "If the Amon you mentioned also likes to wear a monocle on his right eye."

When she said this, Song Shu's voice seemed to be still in Alice's ears: "If you find that the person around you suddenly wears a monocle on the right eye, then you should be careful - like this ”

She remembered that at the end of that picture, Song Shu took out a pair of monocles from somewhere and put them on her right eye.

——Of course, we all know that Song Shu obviously couldn't have anything to do with Amon.

In the unchanged silence, only Derrick's voice continued to ring:

"I don't know... Forty-two years ago, an exploration team met a man who called himself Amon in the depths of darkness. After returning to Silver City, they went crazy and lost control one after another. Only one person was left, and he was locked at the bottom of the round tower, right next to me."

Alice suddenly fell silent, and the image of Song Shu appeared in front of her again.

She heard herself curiously asking: "Since He is so powerful, then suppose, suppose someone unfortunately encounters Him, how can they survive from His hands?"

Alice saw Song Shu bow her head and ponder for a moment before answering:

"That probably falls into two situations.

"If Amon has no reason to kill you, you can find a way to arouse His interest, so that you may survive."

She heard herself asking: "Then, what if there is? "

She saw Song Shu reveal a mysterious smile and said to her: "Then you can only pray that the angel chooses a way of death for you that you like."

Let us congratulate Song Shu for finally having a name
