Mystery: Lucky

After Alice expressed her feelings, Klein finally patted Alice's back twice to comfort her. After a moment of silence, he tentatively said:

"If you are really curious, after coming to Bayam, maybe, maybe you can also dress up as a man and go to the 'Red Theater' to take a look?"

Alice shook her body and suddenly fell out of her previous emotions. She raised her head and refused firmly: "No, thank you!"

After adjusting her expression, Alice continued:

"It sounds weird... I'm just curious about what it looks like inside. Why can't you go in and take a look and tell me?"

Klein imagined the scene of himself and Alice telling each other about their feelings after visiting the brothel. He felt a chill in his heart. He quickly shook off that idea and said firmly:

"Impossible.

"But I can help you find a pirate who has been in there. "

"That's fine too. "Alice nodded.

So the matter was settled. After dealing with the remaining matters, Klein returned to the real world.

Danitz's snoring seemed to have become quieter... Is he awake? Klein thought for a moment and turned the doorknob of the bedroom.

Danitz happened to sit up from the bed. When he saw Gehrman Sparrow pushing the door in, he tried to hide the smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the crazy adventurer ask:

"Have you been to the Red Theater? "

...

After once again sighing at Russell's talent for comedy, Alice sent the manuscript to the publisher.

For now, Alice's financial situation is in a rather awkward position - maintaining a normal life is not a problem at all, and she can even live well, but to be a Beyonder...

It's so funny, she can't afford the materials at all.

However, many things that high-sequences need should not be bought with money... Alice kicked the stones on the roadside and walked home carelessly.

After returning home, Alice rewrote five copies of "The Witch Tastes Really Good" according to the original plan, and brought a 10-pound note to the Brave Bar.

"Is the 'old man' here?" Alice walked to the bar and asked the familiar bartender.

The bartender answered without raising his head: "Billiard Room No. 3. "

Alice found billiard room No. 3 with familiarity. As soon as she entered, she found something wrong - although this group of people were in the billiard room, they were not playing billiards, and there were no cues or balls in the billiard room.

Alice skipped the step of knocking on the door, and opened the half-open door directly with doubt, walked into the billiard room and said: "I'm looking for the 'old man'."

So the two irrelevant people left voluntarily, and only Ian, who was wearing a fake beard and an old coat to pretend to be mature, stayed there.

Ian stood up nervously when he saw Alice coming in, and waited until everyone else went out and closed the door before asking cautiously: "What do you want?"

Alice walked over and pushed five pages of diary and a 10-pound note in front of Ian.

Ian's body froze for a moment. He looked at the five pages of diary and the 10-pound note, but did not dare to reach out for it. Instead, he turned his head stiffly to look at Alice and asked nervously:

"How many of these notes do you have? "

Alice looked at his expression and asked with a bit of evil taste: "Do you need more?"

This startled Ian, and he quickly replied: "I will help you sell it!"

Then, he looked at Alice's expression again and asked cautiously: "Has anyone come to you recently?"

Alice frowned and looked at him.

"Yes, there are people like you who ask me where the diary came from..."

Obviously, he betrayed Alice.

This is a natural answer. He can agree to sell the diary on behalf of others because of his own coercion, and of course he can also betray the seller because of others' coercion.

But the question is... who would be interested in the seller of Roselle's diary?

You know, this thing is not rare in the mysterious world. The outflow and purchase of a large number of diaries may indeed attract attention, but... five pages should not be to this extent, right?

Alice frowned, glanced at the nervous Ian, did not speak to comfort him, but glanced at him lightly, and said without joy or anger:

"Tell me about the situation at that time. "

Sure enough, Alice's new strategy worked. Ian seemed to be more intimidated in this state than when he was threatened. He responded nervously:

"At that time, someone bought the five pages of notes..."

"Wait a minute," Alice interrupted Ian with a frown, "One person bought five pages?"

"Yes..." Ian nodded nervously.

Alice was silent for a moment, and asked with mixed feelings: "...Then he came back to you again?"

Ian nodded.

Alice reached out to support her forehead, thought about it, and put it down, and asked speechlessly: "Don't you know that the five pages of notes are exactly the same?"

"I, I didn't notice." Ian replied nervously, obviously, he also figured out the reason why the man came back.

...Who would buy five identical pages of diaries and not come back to take a look!

Alice was silent for a moment, and reminded tactfully: "Don't sell it to the same person next time, okay? "

Ian nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief - this meant that he should be fine today.

"But," Alice glanced at the billiard room thoughtfully, then looked at Ian who was nervous again and asked, "Why do you want to play cards in the billiard room?"

After Ian was silent for a moment, he looked at Alice and replied: "Because I don't like playing pool, I prefer playing cards."

"Oh." Alice, who had satisfied her curiosity, nodded thoughtfully and turned to leave.

Just when Alice's hand was about to rest on the doorknob, she suddenly reacted, turned her head and asked doubtfully:

"That's not right. If that's the case, then why don't you go to the chess and card room to play cards?"

Ian was silent again, and after a while he answered:

"have no idea.

"Maybe playing cards in the billiards room feels more special."

It seemed to make sense... Alice thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense, so she naturally left, leaving a relieved Ian.

"However, we still can't sell too many..." Alice murmured to herself as she walked, "Otherwise, if Klein finds out one day that I copied the Roselle diary that was sent..."

Alice imagined the scene for a moment, twitched the corners of her mouth, and walked away quickly.

After taking a look at the sky, Alice whispered:

"Let's have a meal first, Bayam...well, there's still time anyway, let's talk about it tomorrow, right?

"Well, what should I eat tonight..."

Alice frowned in distress and began to think about the biggest problem for her. (End of chapter)
