Mystery: Lucky

Dr. Allen soon received the first part of the intelligence he bought with 50 pounds.

After all, if 50 pounds only bought this little thing, Allen would feel that he was cheated by his friend.

Alice's public identity came from Charlie King at the time. At that time, Charlie King even considered her obvious character flaws and designed her identity card as a young lady whose family fell into poverty and whose parents died.

So, it seemed reasonable that such a Briar Rose could paint.

So why did such a Briar Rose seem to know a lot about occultism?

Allen Kress closed the information, thinking of his wife's smile and saying that the child wanted to eat ice cream, pinched his eyebrows, and seriously considered the possibility of visiting.

- He remembered that before pregnancy, his wife didn't seem to like ice cream.

Although pregnancy would change eating habits, and although saying that the child wanted to eat was just a normal excuse, he still felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his subconscious.

He no longer had nightmares about Will Auceptin, but started to have another nightmare instead.

In the dream, the mysterious girl he met that day, the girl named Briar Rose, looked at him softly and said to him in a gentle but emotionless voice:

"...This child will bring disaster to you and your family."

Then, he returned home with a heavy heart and saw his wife getting up from the sofa to greet him. There was a half-eaten cup of ice cream on the coffee table.

He heard his wife say to him with a smile: "The child wants to eat ice cream."

Then the scene changed to a long time later. At that time, his wife's abdomen had a noticeable bulge. He watched his wife gently caressing her belly and said to him with a smile:

"How about calling our child Will?"

Will.

This is not a rare boy's name, but the next scene of this scene is a dark spire. He climbed to the top of the tower as before and saw two giant snakes circling.

The two snakes were white, one thick and one thin. When the thin one saw his figure, it looked at him pitifully and terrified, with a trace of imperceptible eagerness and worry in its eyes.

But his attention was not on the two snakes. He walked towards the deeper darkness ahead. Subconsciously, the covered area seemed to contain something extremely important to him.

One step, two steps, three steps... As he approached step by step, he seemed to have passed through something, but also seemed to have passed through nothing. He gradually realized that his footsteps became sticky.

He lowered his head and found that an unknown, dark red and black liquid was flowing in this direction.

...What is that?

He moved forward step by step, and finally, he saw the source of the liquid.

That was...his wife.

She was lying on the ground, her abdomen was cut in the middle, and blood flowed out from it, passing under his feet and flowing behind him.

Can a person bleed so much?

Alan didn't know, but he found that a girl was kneeling beside his wife.

She had bright and dazzling blonde hair, and the curve of her side face had an unfaded childishness. It can be seen that the owner of this face is not very old.

She didn't care about the blood on the ground, just kneeling there. Allen saw that the girl was holding a bloody scalpel in her hand.

Allen's pupils shrank, staring at the handle of the scalpel.

He watched the girl use the scalpel to lift the hair scattered in the pool of blood, and spread the coagulated blood on it, and separate the hair tangled together because of the blood.

Then, the girl looked back at him with an innocent and bright smile, her blue eyes were clear and pure, and there was no trace of malice in her eyes.

He saw the girl tilt her head and look at him with those pure eyes and said:

"Look, I said a long time ago that the child will bring disaster to you and your family, why don't you believe it?"

Then, he would wake up from the dream, in the quiet night, with a cold sweat, recalling the pure, non-malicious eyes and the innocent tone of the girl when she spoke.

At this moment, the eyes of the blonde girl in the dream finally overlapped with the eyes of Brielle Rose in the information sent by Klein.

...

When there was a knock on the door, Alice was thinking about what to eat for dinner.

She put on "Matilda" doubtfully and went to open the door, only to see someone she didn't expect.

"...Hello?" Alice looked at Dr. Allen in front of her and hesitantly greeted him, a little unsure whether she should call out his name.

Pure, ignorant, bewildered... Allen recalled the eyes of the girl in his dream, took a deep breath, forced himself to smile and said:

"Madam, I'm sorry to bother you... I have some questions to ask you about Will Auceptin."

Alice stared at him, slowly narrowed her eyes, frowned and asked: "Who asked you to ask me?"

She didn't care if Allen could find her - after all, Klein sold her information for a full 50 pounds, and it would be strange if she didn't have an address.

What puzzled her was that Allen actually decided to come to her - no way, Will Auceptin just let his father come to see her like this?

Or was it that, like her dream and her encounter with Will Auceptin, this was something that Will Auceptin could not decide?

"No, no one asked me to come," Allen was confused for a moment, "I have some questions to ask you..."

"In other words, you think this decision was made by you, without any guidance or hints?" Alice confirmed.

"... Can someone else make the decision for me?" Allen asked puzzledly.

"Who knows?" Alice smiled and shrugged.

Allen looked at her indifferent look, and suddenly broke out in cold sweat again.

Alice frowned and looked at Allen, who was obviously frightened. After a moment of silence, she said: "Come in and talk."

As she said that, she turned her body sideways and motioned Allen to enter the room.

Allen walked in hesitantly, and Alice closed the door behind him and quietly opened the spiritual barrier.

"What to drink?" Alice asked politely.

"Coffee." Allen replied habitually.

"Sit down." Alice said lightly, went to make coffee, and decided to get herself a glass of orange juice.

...Who wants to drink something so bitter?

Alice put the coffee in front of Alan, who politely took a sip of the coffee, and then his expression twisted uncontrollably.

"Oops," Alice suddenly realized after seeing his expression, "I forgot to add sugar!"
