Mystery: Lucky

Alice pursed her lips unconsciously.

In fact, telling Klein would have no impact on the matter. Judging from the ending of the dream, Klein most likely did not have the strength to stop the plague. She did not need to worry about the plague being stopped at all.

But... But can Klein accept that the real her actually has no guilt at all for the poor people who died in the plague?

Alice had already noticed this.

Even if there are influences that she can't explain, her nature probably has nothing to do with words like "sacrifice" and "protection".

——Just like until now, she was only struggling with whether or not to tell Klein and how to tell him.

As for the ordinary people who died in the plague? Ha, what does it have to do with her? She didn't know them.

…

The place abandoned by God, Silver City.

This is the time when lightning frequency is higher in Silver City, that is, "daytime" in Silver City. Derrick Berg is carrying a leather bag and holding a "Hurricane Axe", standing with nearly ten teammates ,ready to go.

This "Hurricane Ax" was the weapon he bought through "The World" at the Tarot Club.

Before getting the "Hurricane Ax", Derrick had imagined how majestic he would look with a giant sword; after getting the "Hurricane Ax", Derrick felt that the power of the weapon was the most important.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky and illuminated the dark city wall.

Clumps of weeds sprouted from the hard, crumbling black soil between the cracks in the city wall. They were as fine and swaying as human hair.

At this moment, he heard slight footsteps and hurriedly looked away and looked at the city gate.

In the alternation of lightning and darkness, a tall figure slowly walked over, carrying two restrained straight swords crossed behind his back.

He has pale and messy hair, deep and dark eyes, distorted and profound old scars, and wears the same brown coat and linen shirt that remain unchanged all year round.

This is none other than the chief of Silver City's "Six-person Council", Colin Iliad, a powerful "demon hunter".

Colin looked around to confirm that all the team members were here, and then said in a low voice: "Light the lights and let's go."

…

Before Alice could finish struggling, Klein called Alice above the gray fog and told her a chilling thing:

"I seem to be involved in some kind of coincidence again."

Alice's right eyelid twitched fiercely not long after she spied on Adam in his dream.

...Sure enough, she should tell Klein, otherwise she would suspect that Klein would meet Adam in his dream soon.

No, it might be more serious, like Adam following him home quietly or something...

Recalling the look she had with Adam in her dream, Alice warned with lingering fear: "Don't do divination."

Klein looked at Alice's expression and asked hesitantly: "...What did you do again?"

"...It's not me this time!" Alice slammed the table angrily, "It has nothing to do with me being inspired by fate!"

"...the revelation of destiny still has this function?" Klein asked without believing it at all.

Alice rolled her eyes and complained: "Isn't there another one in Tingen who almost went blind when he saw you?"

Klein lowered his head and confessed for two seconds, then asked: "Then what... happened to you?"

"Haha," Alice laughed falsely, "Adam said hello to me in his dream."

"..." Klein was silent for a while, thinking about what Alice would do in this situation, and then stretched out his hand to give Alice a thumbs up, "Is this the third angel?"

"Don't be afraid, the fourth one has been decided." Alice responded very optimistically.

"?" Klein looked at Alice dumbfounded.

"Have you forgotten that there is a 'mercury snake' looking for Will Ascetin?" Alice reminded him tactfully.

Thinking of this incident, Klein felt that he had received some psychological comfort. He looked at Alice and asked, "So, what is the content of the revelation? How does it have anything to do with Adam?"

Alice suddenly became quiet. She pursed her lips and asked hesitantly:

"Klein, if, I mean if...

"If you knew that a terrible disaster was coming and countless innocent people would die in the disaster, you... what would you do?"

"I will try to stop it," Klein looked at Alice, who rarely became serious, and replied after pondering for two seconds, "But judging from what you just described, I probably don't have such ability?"

Alice nodded quietly.

Klein lowered his head, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I will find a way to reduce the losses as much as possible, and at least protect the people who are important to me in the disaster."

Alice pursed her lips and then asked: "...What if your promotion ceremony is related to this disaster?"

"Is this your Sequence 5 ritual?" Klein realized this from Alice's attitude.

Alice lowered her head and did not answer the question.

Klein pondered for a few seconds and then asked: "Alice, what do you think?"

"I...I don't know," Alice replied with confused eyes, "Those people in the dream looked very pitiful, but I found that I didn't seem to care what happened to them, I just..."

Alice frowned and organized her words:

"I seem to be just being kind to others, maybe you, maybe the captain, or maybe some people who can no longer see...

"I like their kindness and the feeling of being loved and protected by them. I think they don't like bad kids, so..."

She muttered, but did not say the rest of the words.

Klein stared at Alice for a while before saying:

"Although normally I should comfort you, but...

"I don't know why, but when I think about it being you, I can't say any words of comfort at all..."

Alice's brain shut down for a moment. Then, she obeyed her own will, raised her head and glared at Klein and cursed: "You are sick!"

"I learned from you." Klein imitated Alice's movements and spread his hands.

"?" Alice glared at Klein, "Forget it, you...do you have any acquaintances in the East District?"

Klein nodded.

Alice took a deep breath and said:

“A terrible plague is about to sweep through the entire Backlund with the help of smog, starting in the East District, and countless people will die as a result.

"The apparent initiator is most likely a witch, and Adam... considering his, no, his, or 'writer's' extraordinary ability, I suspect that he is the real manipulator."
