Mystery: Lucky

"Is that child Will Auceptin?" Allen asked the question he cared about most and wanted to confirm.

"Yes." Alice blinked.

This answer, which was equivalent to nonsense, made Allen silent for a moment. He reorganized his words and asked, "How did he do it?"

"It was 'Him'." Alice corrected.

"'Him'?" Allen repeated in confusion.

"Let me introduce this world to you again," Alice drank the last sip of orange juice, put down the cup and smiled, "First of all, in this world, gods really exist."

Allen felt that for a moment, his heartbeat and breathing seemed to stop, and everything around him seemed to be far away from him, and seemed to be very close to him.

In order to confirm that what he just said was what he really heard, not imaginary or hallucination, he repeated: "Do gods really exist?"

Alice looked at him and asked in confusion: "Aren't you a believer of the goddess?"

"I..." Allen opened his mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

"So, you are just looking for a place to put your faith, you just agree with the teachings of the goddess, you don't really want gods to exist?" Alice looked at him thoughtfully.

Alan was silent for a while and then asked: "If gods really exist, then mysticism..."

"Why do you think Will Auceptin ran into your wife's belly?" Alice raised her eyebrows.

Alan opened his mouth, closed it again, and thought for a while before asking: "He, no, He is also a god?"

"Well..." Alice frowned at him, "Have you heard of extraordinary people?"

"Extraordinary people?" Alan's expression answered the question.

"Well, you haven't," Alice sighed, "Humans can become extraordinary people by taking potions, from sequence 9 to sequence 1, and sequence 1 and above are true gods."

Alan nodded thoughtfully, and before he asked the question, Alice's faint voice sounded: "Mystical knowledge is very expensive..."

"...How much do you want?" Alan asked hesitantly.

"I think you should be more worried about whether Will Auceptin will know that you are here to see me." Alice smiled with an ambiguous smile.

Alan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something: "Do you... have a grudge?"

Alice lowered her eyes and replied: "We will start to refer to the existence of Sequence 2 and above as 'He', and Will Auceptin is a Sequence 1 on the same path as me."

"Path...?" Alan asked in confusion.

Alice frowned and explained hastily:

"There are a total of twenty-two paths... Oh, it's too troublesome to explain to you. You just need to know that there can only be one true god in each path, and he ascended to the throne by stepping on the corpses of other Sequence 1s."

There is only one true god... who ascended to the throne by stepping on the corpses of other Sequence 1s...

Alan thought of the two giant snakes confronting each other in his dream, and the girl hiding beside them, and realized that this might be the reason why they were enemies.

So... how strong is Sequence 1?

As if seeing his doubts, Alice asked with a smile: "Remember your series of bad luck some time ago?"

Alan was slightly startled, but if that was the power of Sequence 1, it didn't seem to be particularly strong...

Before he could say anything, he heard Alice continue: "Well... that was probably a little bad luck you accidentally got into, right?"

Alan suddenly realized how dangerous he was in.

"Cherish your last peaceful life, Dr. Allen." Alice looked at him with pity, stood up, and made a gesture to see him off.

Alan subconsciously followed her movements and stood up, then reacted and asked anxiously: "Wait, what should I do?"

Alice looked at him thoughtfully and said: "Why do I always feel that you seem to trust me? Obviously, the image of me in your dream is not a good person..."

Alan was silent for a while and said: "At least, at least you still look like a human being..."

Alice couldn't help laughing.

This is a good answer, but it is particularly funny when it comes to a Beyonder - yes, doesn't she "look like a human being"?

Looking at Alan, Alice suddenly had an idea. She smiled and said, "Go back. Don't worry. We can't fight for the time being."

"But..." Alan seemed to want to say something.

Alice shook her head and said, "Besides, even if we really fight, what can you do?"

Alan fell silent again.

He thought of his bad luck that had troubled him for a long time. It was even just bad luck that he accidentally encountered. So, what kind of bad luck would it be if it really targeted him?

Alan thought so and asked out loud.

Alice pondered for a moment and replied:

"Well... let's assume that you are crossing a river. The water in this river is very shallow, and it can only barely cover your ankles.

"You may accidentally step on the stones at the bottom of the river, or something else? In short, you may fall.

"Maybe you died right away - but generally speaking, I like more dramatic endings, like...

"In fact, when you fell, nothing happened to you, it was just that you happened to land on your face, and you happened to have cramps because of the cold river water, so you couldn't get up.

"Anyway, something terrible happened - you drowned in a river that was less than ankle-deep."

Alan lost his ability to speak for a short time.

"If you're still curious..." Alice said thoughtfully, "You can probably find some people with very special luck to find out?"

Alan walked towards the door with a heavy heart.

"By the way," Alice said before he left, "remember not to let Will Auceptin see anything unusual~"

"What will happen if he sees it?" Alan asked, turning back.

Alice raised her lips, showing an Amon-like bad smile on her face, blinking and saying, "It won't be a big deal, anyway... it's not me who died~"

Alan suddenly worried about the correctness of his choice.

If these three guys fight, it is inevitable that he and Wilma will be affected, but... will the one in front of him really care about him and Wilma?

Alan took a last look at Alice and left without saying anything.

--He also had no choice.

After knowing the specialness of Will Auceptin, he couldn't pretend to know nothing and treat the baby in Wilma's belly as his own child, and he couldn't ignore the dream.

And from the moment he knocked on Alice's door, he had already made a choice between Will Auceptin and Alice.

- After all, you can't expect him to really go find Ouroboros.
