Mystery: Lucky

"?" Klein felt that he still overestimated Alice. "You... forget it, this is indeed a more serious problem for you."

Alice blinked blankly and looked at Klein in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

"No, nothing." Klein quickly denied his previous guess.

Alice looked at him in confusion and suddenly asked: "In this case, can you change back to your original appearance?"

"I haven't tried it yet..." Klein was stunned for a moment and remembered this.

Unlike before, after his spirituality stabilized, although the potion of the "Faceless Man" had not yet shown signs of digestion, he had a vague sense of fit...

Wait a minute.

Klein suddenly remembered the question he had ignored. He looked at Alice and asked with a frown, "Have you digested your 'Disaster Priest'?"

"..." The topic that she had been deliberately avoiding was mentioned. Alice lowered her eyes and asked, "What do you think a 'Disaster Priest' is?"

"Probably..." Klein organized his words, "Bring disaster? Well, maybe it needs to be preached..."

Alice lowered her head and said softly, "I seem to have done this countless times."

Klein looked at Alice hesitantly.

But Alice's mood recovered faster than Klein expected-or it was a little too fast.

Before Klein decided on his reaction, Alice had already said thoughtfully:

"If Leonard is the 'Faceless Man', he can realize his wish..."

"?" Although he knew that Alice was probably talking nonsense, and although the name of the old man caused a moment of sadness, Klein still couldn't help but feel curious, "What wish?"

"Wear a skirt." Alice answered sincerely.

Klein subconsciously imagined Leonard wearing a skirt in his mind, then shuddered in fear, shook his head, looked at Alice and asked:

"Is he wanting to wear a skirt the same as my Sequence 4 calling him the circus master?"

Alice was silent for a moment, and replied: "Now it should be called the circus."

Klein's mouth twitched, and for the sake of his own mental health, he sent Alice down the gray fog after confirming that she had nothing to say.

...

Klein came to the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

The man in the mirror had black hair and brown eyes, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a beard around his mouth, which diluted the original bookish air of this face.

This is exactly the image of Sherlock Moriarty.

Klein nodded thoughtfully:

"In essence, Sherlock Moriarty is just Klein's disguise. I have actually been playing Klein Moretti.

"Although I have received some memory fragments and integrated some of my original emotions, I am still Zhou Mingrui from Earth..."

Countless thoughts emerged and dissipated in Klein's heart. Finally, he sighed, slowly closed his eyes, and his facial features gradually changed.

When he opened his eyes again, the mirror was already another person's image.

It was a young man with dark brown eyes and short black hair. His facial features were not distinctive. Overall, he was quite gentle, with heavy bags under his eyes and a slightly fat chin.

This was Zhou Mingrui from Earth.

No need to get a haircut or shave in the future... Klein looked at him with emotion. After a while, an idea suddenly popped up in her mind.

...Alice must like this joke very much.

Klein stretched out his hand expressionlessly and rubbed his face. When he put his hand down, he had turned back into Sherlock Moriarty.

...

When the knock on the door sounded, Alice had just put down her paintbrush and was thinking about what to eat for dinner.

She jumped up from the chair, ran over to open the door, and it was Evelyn standing outside the door.

"Hi, long time no see, Briar~" Evelyn smiled and waved.

They really haven't seen each other for several days, but they pass small notes to each other through the mailbox almost every day, so they are not unfamiliar.

Alice laughed, waved Evelyn to come in, and asked while moving aside: "Why are you here?"

"I'm not going in," Evelyn shook her head, "Actually, I'm here to pass a message."

"Pass a message? "Alice looked at her in confusion.

"My mother asked me to ask you if you want to spend the New Year with us," Evelyn blinked at Alice, "After all, it's too lonely for you to be alone."

Alice was slightly startled, and suddenly realized that the New Year in Rune was approaching.

Thinking of the relatives who drove her off the table because of her nonsense and whose faces she couldn't see, Alice suddenly felt a little sad.

"Are you okay?" Evelyn's cautious voice sounded, "Did I hit the nail on the head about your sad story?"

Alice looked at Evelyn, chuckled and said:

"No, it's all over.

"Well... do you want to know about the food in my hometown?"

Evelyn was slightly startled.

She knew that Briel Rose, that is, Alice, was not a local, but Alice seemed to be unable to mind her past life and rarely mentioned her hometown.

This was the first time she heard Alice mention her hometown.

Afraid that Alice might misunderstand, Evelyn stopped thinking about it, nodded, and asked curiously:

"What kind of food is it? This is the first time I've heard you talk about your hometown."

Alice chuckled and asked, "Have you ever heard of 'dumplings'?"

"'jiaozi'? What is that?" Evelin asked doubtfully.

"'Dumplings', this is how they are made..." Alice smiled and introduced the making of dumplings to Evelin.

Even if she doesn't know how to cook, Alice knows the process of making this essential New Year's food.

The first step is to make the dumpling filling.

The second step is to make dumpling wrappers.

The third step is to wrap the dumpling filling with dumpling wrappers.

What? You asked her how to make dumpling wrappers and dumpling fillings? Well...then we can only rely on Mrs. Greenland's cooking skills.

However, the most important thing about New Year’s dumplings is of course...

"In my hometown, there is one most important difference between the 'dumplings' during the New Year and the 'dumplings' at ordinary times." Alice added while looking at Evelin who seemed to understand.

"What is it?" Evelin blinked.

Alice smiled and said:

“We wrap coins in dumplings, so whoever eats dumplings with coins will become particularly lucky in the new year.

"Generally speaking, children will eat dumplings with coins when they are young, and they will be happy for a long time. When they grow up, they will find...

"The adults actually marked the dumplings with coins when they were making them, specifically for children..."
