Mystery: Lucky

This statement is not entirely true.

Alice really didn't expect that the Eye of Secrets could see the problems in her body. The main reason was that she had met a demigod-level "Peeper of Secrets" - Bernadette.

Alice guessed that the Peeping Eye could see that the problem with her was most likely just a recent thing.

but……

Alice, who knew for the first time that the Peeping Eye was not under control, thought of the "monster" who could be regarded as having the same disease in a sense. She turned to Klein in the gray mist with half pity and half sympathy, and knocked He looked at the table and asked:

"Can you seal her eyes?"

Audrey and Alger coincidentally remembered Alice's eyes that were closed tightly at the beginning.

They suddenly realized that at some point, the visible glasses on Miss Destiny's face had disappeared - that is to say, she could look directly at Mr. Fool.

Thinking of Cattleya's tragic situation just now, they were shocked and looked away.

Apart from the two of them, others also had different thoughts - for example, they were thinking about what Cattleya meant by "light".

They could easily see that Alice didn't know what she had on her before, and after hearing the answer, they took it for granted, but... what does light mean?

Klein was actually thinking about this issue as well, and was a little regretful that what Cattleya looked at just now was not him - he was actually quite curious.

However, isn’t the direction different? In my impression, two people saw him...well, one and a half. After all, Alice didn't really see him, so she just counted it as half.

I have the impression that half of the people who saw him are from the "monster" path. I don't know if I can tell it with my peeping eyes... After all, it's not like he has never seen "mysterious people".

When Klein's mind wandered, Alice's question reminded him. He chuckled, nodded gently to Alice and said:

"Can."

After a pause, he said to Cattleya: "You can try to embody a pair of glasses on your face."

After solving the serious problem of the secret eye, Cattleya was finally able to raise her head and participate in the Tarot meeting. While observing other people normally, she introduced herself to Audrey's questioning eyes:

"The Hermit."

After getting to know each other with the new members, Audrey turned to the top of the long bronze table: "Mr. Fool, I was out in the field and only collected one page of Russell's diary."

Hearing these words, Alice subconsciously looked at Cattleya, ready to admire her shocked expression - after all, this is how every newcomer comes.

But Cattleya's reaction seemed a little too obvious.

As the famous "Star Admiral" and a "secret spy" who is good at research, Cattleya may have been surprised when she first heard about Russell's diary, but she would never be so shocked.

——After all, even Old Neil could study and find out that Russell’s notes might be diaries.

"Magician" Forsi also raised his hand and said, "Mr. Fool, I got three pages."

Derrick "The Sun" followed closely and said: "Mr. Fool, I have copied the new legend of the ancient gods."

When Klein began to read the diary with a feeling of relief, Alice stared at Cattleya's expression and slowly frowned.

The shock she felt when she first heard about Russell's diary had slowly subsided, but after Klein started reading it, she became even more horrified and frightened.

Alice watched this scene, remembering Bernadette when she first met her, and slowly frowned.

After Klein announced the start, "Moon" Emlyn was the first to betray himself:

"Mr. Hanged Man, I'm ready. When will you get the inheritance of the Blood Baron? You mentioned last time that it is in the hands of a big pirate?"

He suppressed his excited attitude and along with the big pirate in his words, he sold out both himself and Alger without hesitation, leaving Alger, who had planned to hide his identity, in silence for a while.

The well-informed Alger quickly calmed down and asked without changing his expression: "Did you get the cash?"

"Of course!" Emlyn raised his neck and said.

Alice glanced at Alger and Emlyn with pity.

What surprised Alice was that Alger didn't care about it, and his tone did not change:

"I will get it for you within this week. Finally, let's confirm the price. 4,500 pounds, okay?"

Alice glanced at Alger suspiciously, feeling that the other person's current attitude was just like Song Shu's after she agreed to paint. The only difference was that Song Shu's emotions were much more exposed.

...He must have made a lot of money!

Emlyn didn't notice anything was wrong. He cleared his throat and asked with wandering eyes, "Okay, can it be cheaper?"

...It looks like he plans to keep some of the money for himself.

After hearing this, Alger asked without changing his expression:

"This is not something I can decide, but I can help you fight for it. Also, don't forget my commission. It's a little less, how about 300 pounds?"

Alice looked at Alger, who showed no guilt, and suddenly began to doubt her previous judgment - ah, maybe she thought too badly of Mr. "The Hanged Man", but did he really forfeit the commission?

"Okay." Emlyn obviously showed no signs of doubt and even breathed a sigh of relief.

After they reached a deal with a few words, Alger turned to Alice, who was reflecting on herself, looked at her right eye that no longer had a monocle, and asked thoughtfully:

"Miss Destiny, have you taken off your monocle?"

"Yes." Alice looked at him with resentment.

Although he knew that Miss "Destiny" was hiding an evil god under the appearance of a simple girl, Alger still showed a very faint smile and said casually:

"It seems that I can't get the luck you promised as a reward."

-Of course, another reason is that he found that a casual attitude can please Alice more in insignificant things.

This was originally an insignificant joke, but Alice, who was secretly paying attention to Cattleya, found that she frowned when she heard this.

Alice smiled and turned to Cattleya and asked: "Ms. Hermit, what were you thinking about just now?"

Cattleya's body stiffened, and the fear she felt before was recalled by her again. She looked at Alice cautiously and said carefully: "I just remembered some rumors."

Alice stared at her curiously.

"It's just some groundless rumors, don't take it seriously..." Cattleya made a weak resistance.

Alice continued to stare at her curiously.

Cattleya was silent for a moment, and had to explain:

"It is rumored that the high sequence of the 'fate' path, which grants the ability to be lucky, brings results that are not satisfactory most of the time...

"It is said that many times, some people realize their wishes on the spot, but they will face a terrible backlash afterwards.

"The appearance and intensity of this backlash seem to be completely random...

"Some people suspect that this is the result of the influence of a high sequence existence in the 'fate' path." Note ①

Alice listened to Cattleya's words, and the smile on her face disappeared little by little. Finally, she lowered her eyelids, letting her eyelashes half cover her eyes, and whispered:

"Although I don't have any relevant memories, I don't know why...

"I always feel that the high sequence existence you mentioned, perhaps, should, probably, may...

"Is it me?" (End of this chapter)
