Mystery: Lucky

Alice blinked twice and counted on her fingers to show him: "'Mother Tree of Desire', me, 'The Fool', and..."

She paused, stretched out her fingers and tapped four times on her chest, drawing a crimson moon symbol.

Counting like this, it seems that there are really four... No, when did I become a goddess's favorite?

Klein suddenly reacted and asked in confusion: "When did I become a goddess's favorite?"

Alice lowered her head and thought seriously for a moment, then touched her chin and asked: "Which goddess are you referring to?"

Klein raised "Creeping Hunger" again.

Alice stared at "Creeping Hunger" and thought for a few seconds, licked her lips and asked:

"If I let 'Creeping Hunger' return to its state before it was full..."

"I don't mind using you to feed it." Klein replied expressionlessly.

Tears suddenly welled up in Alice's eyes.

"Don't pretend," Klein was too lazy to pay attention to her. He bent down and picked up the gray-white light ball on the ground that looked like a brain. "Hmm... Sequence 8's extraordinary characteristics?"

"It can't even be exchanged for a piece of auxiliary material," Alice curled her lips, "High sequence... money is really just a number."

After a pause, Alice murmured again: "You reminded me that my previous comics are not finished..."

She disappeared silently while muttering to herself.

Klein was deeply shocked by Alice's dedication. Although his questions were still unanswered, he did not try to call Alice out again, but snapped his fingers to burn the fragments of clothes on the ground.

He sat back behind the desk and watched all traces disappear in the flames before pulling the rope to ring the bell outside the door.

Lü Er'an lifted the "ban" and walked in, instinctively examining every corner of the room.

Follet Ken's disappearance did not cause any reaction from him. He quietly responded to Klein's orders and went to arrange the capture of the Celestial Sect and the Rose School.

...

After using his injury as an excuse to postpone all the arrangements for the next two days, Klein finally had time to ask Alice the question she had asked before:

"So, when did I become the goddess's favored one?"

Alice grabbed the tail of a lively lobster, stretched out her hand and tore off the lobster's two claws, while casually saying:

"We all crawled out of the same cemetery, and we even lived next door to each other. The goddess couldn't have only seen one~"

Klein hesitated to look at the dying lobster. Alice noticed his gaze and silently put the claws back.

Klein swallowed back the words he had prepared. His expression suddenly became serious, and he frowned and asked Alice:

"Alice, you won't do this to humans one day, right?"

Alice's hand on the lobster's whiskers suddenly stopped, and the lobster's claws took the opportunity to pinch her finger. Although there was not even a red mark, Alice frowned and threw the lobster to the ground unhappily.

"Alice." Klein's tone became serious.

He didn't ask this question on a whim, but Alice's eyes when looking at humans were no different from now most of the time.

Alice bit her lip and stared at the dead lobster on the ground and said:

"You can't ask me to treat humans as my own kind... That's unrealistic."

"So, will you do that?" Klein didn't answer her.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became quiet. Klein didn't speak first, so several minutes passed before Alice's voice rang:

"I don't know... Maybe, sometimes I will, sometimes I won't."

After a pause, she raised her head and said hesitantly:

"In fact, now it seems that there are more times when I won't."

Klein was slightly stunned.

Alice turned her head at this time. He looked at Alice's disappointed expression and hesitated for two seconds, then couldn't help saying:

"Why don't you scold me?"

"... Are you sick?" Alice fulfilled his wish without hesitation.

Klein looked at Alice, whose expression had become lively again, and smiled, "Right, that's the right feeling."

Alice glared at him fiercely.

Although Alice's previous words were not true, Klein gave up asking how he became the goddess's favorite, and asked:

"Alice, there is actually one thing I haven't asked you, I wonder if you still remember it.

"What happened to the Saint Furran...? "

This was a belated judgment. Alice froze in her tracks. She lowered her head and glanced at the window and door with the corner of her eyes, praying that someone would come in or something would happen outside.

She succeeded. A figure in a tuxedo appeared by the window. He had black hair and blue eyes, and his mouth was slightly drooping. He had the disgusting smell in Alice's memory.

It was Amyrius.

Alice ran over quickly to open the window for Amyrius as if she had seen a relative, and then said with tears in her eyes:

"General, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"

Amyrius almost fell.

Klein gritted his teeth, walked up to grab Alice's collar, ignored Alice's pitiful eyes, and pulled her out of the way.

Then, he looked at Amyrius, who was obviously frightened, and asked: "... Admiral, how about you come in first?"

——Although Alice is unreliable most of the time, Klein has full trust in Alice's spiritual intuition.

Amyrius silently entered the room through the window. At this moment, with this situation, he completely lost the desire to test Alice and Gehrman Sparrow, and asked directly:

"Has anything happened these days?"

Before Alice could speak, Klein reached out and tugged on her loose school uniform, successfully shutting her mouth.

Emilius obviously noticed this scene, and his majestic gaze fell on Klein. Klein resisted this majesty and picked out the most relaxing thing:

"Your secretary made a mistake and got hurt."

"Huh? What else?" Admiral Amyrius nodded deeply and restrainedly.

Klein tried not to look away, looked directly at the other person and said:

"Your brother has been relieved of his duties as governor, and a new governor has arrived.

"Your Miss Cynthia turned into a monster and was purified by me.

"Some of your guards and servants have been infected to a certain extent and are being treated..."

Alice looked at Emilius, whose expression was becoming increasingly uncontrollable and startled, and then made the last stab:

"General, I think, I want to have a child with you..."
