Mystery: Lucky

Alice decided not to answer the question.

Anyway, Klein was already above the gray mist, so she started to offer sacrifices directly. How could he not accept it?

Regarding this question, Klein said he didn't really want to talk.

Klein was very speechless as he let Amon's body pass through the Sacrifice Gate, and then pulled Alice up.

Alice looked at Klein and blinked, then pointed at Amon's body and said, "Look, he doesn't seem to be dead."

"?" Klein stood up in fright.

Alice looked at Klein's expression and asked doubtfully, "Why are you so scared?"

"?" Klein glared at Alice.

"Hmm..." Alice touched her chin, "Have you ever seen that kind of empty shell without a soul?"

"An empty shell without a soul?" Klein repeated doubtfully and began to carefully observe Amon's situation.

"I wonder what he stole...maybe it was my fate? Who knows, after all, he became like this after stealing." Alice spread her hands.

"Hmm..." Klein was thoughtful.

"Anyway, this is my body now!" Alice puffed up her chest.

"?" Klein felt like his brain was shutting down, "No, wait, what do you mean?"

"That's the literal meaning," Alice began to explain more seriously, "In short, the current Amon clone has lost contact with the original body, and is an empty shell without a soul."

After a pause, Alice continued: "If you like, you can probably leave your body and go in to play..."

"...Aren't you worried at all that Amon will find you again?" Klein asked sincerely.

"Ah..." Alice seriously thought about this possibility, "Did you know, Amon actually left me a souvenir..."

"Souvenir?" Klein asked doubtfully.

"A bottle of 'provocateur' potion," Alice said with a strange expression, "He said that I am very suitable to be a 'provocateur'..."

Klein pondered and asked, "So, what exactly did you do?"

Show him the high-definition CG of the two of you... Alice replied in her mind while holding her chin up as she looked at Klein.

This strange look in his eyes made Klein feel nervous. He shook off the goosebumps on his body and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Alice quickly denied the matter, thinking that it would be better not to let Klein see this kind of thing in this life.

... Just show him that strange article, but you must not let him know that I drew those things!

Alice firmly made this wish and prayed devoutly that it would become a secret shared by Amon and herself.

Klein looked at Alice's expression and felt that she seemed a bit guilty.

He stared at Alice for a while, and seeing that she was determined to kill her without telling her, he finally just placed a paper crane in front of Alice.

"Send..." Alice picked up the paper crane in confusion and wanted to ask Klein what was going on, but her spirit jumped slightly and she stopped questioning.

She frowned and looked at the paper crane, which looked ordinary from any angle, and asked, "How did you get it?"

"Is there really something wrong with it?" Klein's eyes lit up.

Alice raised her head and looked at Klein. Instead of answering his question, she asked again: "How did you get it?"

Realizing Alice's rare seriousness, Klein also became serious:

“I met Dr. Allen at the Cragg Club, you met him.

"He told me he had another nightmare about Will Asceptin.

“In the dream, he saw a tall, dark spire with a squirming silver-white snake coiled on it, looking at him with red eyes.

"Then, he walked into the steeple, went up and down the stairs, passed through walls after walls, passed through locked doors one after another, and finally found in a dark corner Will Auceptin, he hopped a few steps on one leg and curled up against the wall, with the deck of tarot cards scattered around him.

"Then Will Asceptin, frightened and happy, cried out . . .

"'Doctor, there's a snake trying to eat me!'

“The day before having this dream, Dr. Allen dug out this paper crane.

"It is said that Will Asceptin gave it to him, and Will Asceptin told him at the time...

"It will bring him good luck."

"This will bring him good luck..." Alice looked at the paper crane and murmured, "A snake wants to eat it..."

"So, it was another 'mercury snake' that pushed him to that point?" Alice murmured to herself thoughtfully.

Klein frowned and looked at Alice, and asked doubtfully, "Which step?"

"...He seems to have been reincarnated." Alice replied with a strange expression.

"?" Klein felt that he didn't quite understand Alice's words.

"In short... He is in mother's belly now," Alice pondered and put down the paper crane in her hand. "Is Dr. Allen's wife pregnant?"

Klein began to think thoughtfully: "I divined that Will Auceptin was in a dark room with the sound of water. That was..."

"Uterus!" they said in unison.

"There seems to be something left on this paper crane," Alice finally reminded. "If you don't want Will Auceptin to find you and monitor you through it, be careful not to carry it with you."

Klein said that he remembered it and asked again: "Then Amon..."

"..." Alice stared at the paper crane and thought for two seconds, then raised her head and said, "Maybe next time we meet, I can give this paper crane to Amon."

"Huh?" Klein looked at Alice blankly.

Alice said meaningfully:

"Although it cannot be said that Amon did not intend to get something from me... it is undeniable that his main purpose of coming to me... seems to be to play.

“It’s all play anyway, what’s wrong with changing a playmate?

"After all, I can't run away."

"Playing?" Klein heard this word and suddenly had a bad premonition, "Is Amon's character... similar to yours?"

"..." Alice opened her mouth, feeling powerless as she wanted to refute but didn't know where to refute.

Klein looked at her expression and suddenly began to sympathize with the "Mercury Snake" he had never met before.

…

During the day after this conversation, Alice still came to the ice cream stand as a habit.

The original stall was gone, and bosses with similar businesses were sharing the vacant customer flow. No one was confused about the lack of an ice cream stall.

Alice sighed and became one of the scattered passengers.
