Mystery: Lucky

Allen hesitated to speak and glanced at Alice, silently putting down his coffee.

It's not just that she didn't add sugar...

Allen stared at Alice's innocent expression, trying to find flaws in it.

However, Alice already had enough experience with what expressions she should make after doing something bad, so Alan had to give up his plan after watching it for a while.

However, it has to be said that after taking a sip of the cup of coffee that he didn't know how to make, Allen's original fear was mostly dispelled, and he asked calmly:

"Ma'am, I want to know if there is real occultism in this world?"

"Aren't you here to ask me about Will Asceptin?" Alice asked doubtfully.

"I..." Allen murmured, but didn't know where to start.

What should I say? He suspected that the child was the child his wife was pregnant with? I'm afraid no one would believe such a fantasy, right?

Unless...unless there is real occultism in this world.

Sherlock is right. If there is real occultism in this world and you want to seek help, the best place is the church. However, if you want to find out the truth...

Alan watched as Alice considered her words.

Alice held the cup and waited patiently for Allen to speak first.

"I had a dream," Allen finally decided to start from his own dream. "In the dream, I climbed up to a dark and towering spire..."

Alice frowned, put down the cup in her hand, and became serious.

Alice's change in attitude gave Alan confidence, and he continued:

"At the top of the minaret, I saw two giant white snakes, one big and one small. Among them, the smaller one seemed a little worried about me..."

The giant white snake...is the "Snake of Mercury"! But why one big and one small? The other one is the existence that has been chasing Will Asceptin? Could it be...

Alice thought of a name.

In his memory, the male voice that seemed to be Will Auceptin once mentioned a person - the Angel of Destiny, the "Tail Eater" Ourolius.

The other snake... could it be him, no, could it be Him?

Alice unknowingly curled up into the sofa, tapping her fingers on the armrests of the sofa unconsciously, and frowning little by little.

Sure enough, she knew the symbol of this dream... Allen inferred as he continued to tell about his dream:

"I walked past the two of them, to a dark corner that was hidden, and I saw... I saw Velma, my wife, lying in a pool of blood.

"I saw a girl kneeling next to Velma and turned to look at me and she said to me...

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

Allen imitated the tone of the girl in the dream and said this, making Alice fall into deep thought.

No, this...why does it seem like she said it?

Alice blinked blankly and confirmed: "Do you remember what that girl looks like?"

"Blonde hair, blue eyes, looks young, smiles very innocently..." Alan tried to describe the face he saw, but Alice's next action made him freeze in place. .

He watched Alice take off an unusually beautiful necklace from her neck. His eyes couldn't help but be attracted to the necklace. It wasn't until Alice placed the necklace on the coffee table that the sound of the necklace colliding with the glass woke him up.

He subconsciously raised his head, and the girl in front of him suddenly turned into the blonde girl in his dream.

He saw Alice tilting her head, raising a pure smile, and asked in an innocent tone: "Is it me you saw in your dream?"

Alice got the answer from Allen's violently contracted pupils and trembling body. Her eyebrows jumped, trying to capture more information from Allen's description.

——This is a revelation.

Two coiling serpents, Ouroleus and Will Asceptin, faced off against each other, and she...

Hidden dark corners.

That is the authority of the goddess, a hidden power...

But, what does the goddess want from her?

After Alice pondered for a moment, she suddenly chuckled, reached out and tapped her chest four times, drew the symbol of the crimson moon, and said piously and from the bottom of her heart: "Praise the goddess."

——The debts owed are enough anyway. If you don’t care about this, why not praise the goddess first?

Alice shook her head, looked at Allen who was in chaos due to her actions, and sighed: "Should I say you are lucky or unlucky?"

Allen realized that he might be about to hear something terrible, but Alice didn't seem to want to take the initiative to explain. After struggling for a while, he asked:

"When you said...that the child would bring disaster to me and my family, what did you mean?"

Is it a threat?

Allen didn't dare to ask, but Alice shrugged and chuckled: "It was a warning at first, but now... it's probably a threat."

Allen's body suddenly froze.

"How about it?" Alice blinked, "Who are you going to choose? Your child, Will Asceptin, or me?"

Before Allen could answer, she said as if she remembered something:

"Oh, by the way... Actually, you have another option. After all, there was another 'mercury snake' in that dream."

"'Mercury Snake'?" Alan repeated the word doubtfully.

"You have to choose one before I can tell you." Alice blinked.

"...Do I have any choice?" Allen asked incomprehensibly.

Alice took a sip of orange juice and then murmured: "Maybe you have virtues that I don't understand? For example, you have to protect your children at all costs..."

"No," Alan corrected Alice, "If that child is Will Asceptin, he is not my child, he is just a... who has taken over my child's identity..."

Allen couldn't find a word that was offensive enough.

Alice applauded this angle that she had never thought of and praised: "It turns out you can still think like this!"

Allen stopped speaking hesitantly. He suddenly wondered whether the girl in front of him and the girl in his dream were the same person.

Alice ignored his thoughts, leaned back, and said while drinking orange juice:

"Anyway, since you have made your choice... Well, it seems a bit too much. Why don't you ask yourself, is there anything you want to know?"
