Mystery: Lucky

Alice slightly curved her lips, took off the brooch from Evelin, then turned to look at Audrey and asked:

"Do you have a suitable container here?"

Audrey did not disappoint Alice and took the test tube. Alice gently held Evelin's hand, feeling her cold fingertips and cold sweat-covered palms.

Alice couldn't help but smile. She looked at Evelin, who had not moved for a while, and suddenly asked:

"You must not be a Nighthawk, right?"

"No," Evelin was stunned for a moment before replying, "The Nighthawks refused me to join, and they even refused me to become an Extraordinary."

By the way, this is normal... Alice gave her an unclear look, and then used hard force to prick Evelin's fingertip.

After putting away the blood, Alice put away the brooch naturally as if she was signing and taking away the pen. Then she pretended not to see Evelin's expression and smiled at her and said:

"I think you should know, right? If you have recited the honorable name of a great being, and there is blood in the other person's hand, then the connection between you will be completely irreversible.

"Unless there is a true God who is willing to help you personally - of course, even if there is, it will be very difficult."

Evelin didn't speak, her eyes fell hesitantly on Alice's pocket, and then asked: "My brooch...?"

After two seconds of silence, Alice returned to her seat and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, answer me a few questions first.

"Since you are not from the church, how did you become an extraordinary person?"

——Even if you are targeted by the Hidden Sage, there must be a reason.

Within a few seconds after hearing this question, the expression on Evelin's face changed several times, and finally collapsed completely.

Alice watched Evelin kneeling on the ground, praying with tears in her eyes: "Please... please help me... I really don't know what to do..."

After a moment of silence, Alice looked at Audrey silently.

Audrey finally understood why a psychiatrist was needed here. Without saying a word, she went over to support Evelin and comforted her in a soft voice:

"You have to at least tell what happened first, don't you?"

At the same time, Audrey calmly gave Evelin a comfort.

The effect of extraordinary abilities is indeed better than words. Evelin's mood became slightly more stable, and she murmured:

"Liar...she lied to me..."

"How did she cheat on you?" Audrey asked gently.

"She told me about a ritual. She said, she said..." Evelin bit her lip and her voice gradually became smaller. "She said that as long as you perform this ritual, you can become an extraordinary person..."

Seeing that her mood was about to collapse again, Audrey calmly patted her again to comfort her and asked softly:

"Did you make it?"

"Succeeded..." Evelin clenched her fists and said, "But, but... Mom entered the room because she was worried about me..."

Audrey looked at Alice. Alice rubbed her fingertips twice and asked in an emotionless voice:

"Where is the person who lied to you?

"How did you know she lied to you?"

"The correct way is to drink magic potion to get promoted... right?" Evelin bit her lip and asked.

Alice chuckled lightly, looked at the shadowed eyes, and sighed:

"Hidden Sage...

"I don't know whether I should say you are lucky or unlucky... If you guessed correctly, that ritual should point to Him.

"But judging from the current situation, at least you have really become an extraordinary person instead of losing control and dying. This is good news, right?"

Evelin's face turned pale because of Alice's affirmation. Her lips trembled, and it took a long time before she uttered a sentence: "Mom...I killed my mother...didn't I..."

Audrey quickly gave a comforting gesture and said warmly:

"I think it's not your fault. The person who really did the wrong thing was the person who lied to you. We should catch the liar and avenge your mother."

"Liar...revenge..." Evelin's emotions calmed down again, but her voice was still trembling, "Yes, I should avenge my mother, I should find the liar!"

"Well... I have a question," Alice blinked. "Do you think that liar is very kind and his words are very trustworthy?"

Evelin was stunned for a moment, her eyes became confused, and she murmured: "Okay, it seems so."

"Bah, bang, bang," Alice clapped her hands and smiled, but her eyes turned cold, "Her name, and her face."

"Sylvia Mulherney," Evelyn said the name without hesitation, "but I don't know if it's a real name or a pseudonym."

Alice laughed and said:

"It doesn't matter.

“I’ll teach you a ritual and draw her portrait to me.

"Do you have any of her belongings on you?"

Evelyn shook her head.

This was expected, and Alice did not feel disappointed. She even doubted whether this Miss Sylvia Mulherney might be a man, but the "swindler" did not seem to have the ability to change gender.

Yes, Alice suspected that this was a Sequence 8 "scammer"—after all, he was a liar who was related to the Extraordinary.

After taking a look at Evelin, Alice pinched her eyebrows and first confirmed: "Before you performed that ceremony, you didn't arrange a spiritual barrier, right?"

Evelin murmured: "She, she didn't tell me..."

She didn't need to say anything more. Alice sighed, picked her up from the ground, and began to teach her how to draw the portrait of the person in her mind by praying to the gods.

It seemed a bit too strange to respond to the ceremony on the spot. Alice took out the herbs and pure dew from the night field that she had prepared, which made Audrey, a true believer of the night, fall into deep thought.

She obviously hadn't forgotten Alice's nonsense that the night was her favorite.

It was hard to say how credible this was, but Audrey, who was familiar with Alice, could judge even without extraordinary abilities that at least in the past, the goddess was the one who was protected.

This was enough. Audrey didn't say anything else. Alice took the freshly baked portrait from Evelyn.

The woman in the portrait looked about 20 years old, with sharp features and a clear scar on her right eye. She looked very dangerous - she might have almost lost an eye.

Her black hair was neatly tied up, and both eyes were brown. No matter her facial features or temperament, she was not the kind and amiable type that Alice remembered Lanevus to be.

This made it more likely that she was a "swindler" - after all, without supernatural powers, she looked more like a robber than a swindler.

However, her right eye did not look suitable for wearing a monocle... (End of this chapter)
