Mystery: Lucky

This success stunned Selwyn in his tracks.

He was obviously used to receiving gifts from others, and was used to people treating him well for free. Moreover, even if he wasn't used to it, no one would distinguish things in such detail.

This was clearly a deliberate deception.

After realizing this, Selwyn looked shocked and angry: "Liar!"

Alice glanced at him silently, not pointing out that addiction to gambling was actually his own problem.

Under normal circumstances, in fact, his consequence seems to be just that he was defrauded of some money...? No, this is not an adventure...

Alice frowned, a flash of inspiration flashed through Alice's mind, and she asked aloud:

"What's the name of the potion you drank?"

——If there is anything that can be called a destined adventure, then there is only a bottle of Sequence 9 potion with endless troubles.

This question was a bit abrupt, and Selwyn's attitude wavered a bit when he looked up at Alice, but he still answered:

"'assassin'."

He seemed to think I should know the answer... No, wait, what's it called?

Alice's eyes widened for a moment. The only reason she had was to keep her from questioning. However, the drastic changes in expressions and movements still made Selwyn realize that there seemed to be something wrong with this bottle of potion. He looked slightly nervous. asked:

"What's wrong, is there something wrong with this potion?"

No, there's no problem at all, it even fulfills your wish perfectly. It's really an exciting adventure...

Alice looked at Selwyn with mixed emotions, knowing that she would never be able to hide the strangeness she just had, so she took advantage of it and sighed with a smile:

“If you continue down this path, it’s going to be an amazing adventure.

“You will experience things that you have never experienced before, and experience experiences that you have never had before, whether they are happiness and joy or unbearable pain...

“You can experience many things that you didn’t have the opportunity to try in the past, and you can also experience happiness that you have never been able to experience before...

"Perhaps one day in the future, you will regret your choice today, but no matter what, this is a precious experience."

Alice used artistically processed language to piece together this passage, which gave Selwyn a hard time.

She assured that she was telling the truth throughout.

——How can becoming a woman not be a great adventure? Pregnancy and childbirth are also things that were impossible to experience before... Hey, will "witches" have menstrual periods?

Weird thoughts flashed through Alice's mind and were ignored by her. After all, what did it have to do with her? The best she could do was ask the "witch" next time she met him.

As for the joy that he couldn't experience before... Russell testified that it was true, and he even wrote a diary.

The effect of Alice's brilliant speech was not that good. Selwyn still looked a little uneasy. He hesitated to speak and looked at Alice.

Perhaps spiritual intuition came into play at this moment. Selwyn had an intuition that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell. There was only a kind of uneasiness and anxiety about the future that haunted him.

Alice didn't give him a chance to speak, but said to him:

"Child, don't pay too much attention to those mirage-like futures. It won't help you dispel the shadow hanging over your destiny, nor will it help you solve your current predicament.

"Focus on what is in front of you, such as the shameless person cursed by fate. Do you remember what is unique about her?

"Remember carefully. Only in this way can we uncover her disguise and repay the punishment of fate in full."

The style was correct. This artificial speaking style successfully restored the trust of Selwyn, who was originally a little shaken. He recalled carefully:

"It seems there is nothing... She is also dressed like this, you can't tell anything... By the way! I once saw her holding a book!"

"A book?" Alice almost jumped up.

There are no coincidences in the extraordinary world. The book of nature with the ocean blue cover was recalled by Alice. If it was the legacy of a "prophet", or he had a relatively complete consciousness, then he might really call himself Cassandra. in activity.

What Selwyn experienced has been partially answered - not only was the "prophet" credited, but also the "scammer". What he met was actually a liar in the name of a prophet.

For Alice, the only thing that matters now is the purpose of "Cassandra" and the origin of that honorable name.

Objectively speaking, there are actually too many people who can spread the legend of Cassandra. Even leaving aside the most unreliable Russell, the ancient sun god who calls himself "God" and names his child Adam is obviously very good. suspicious.

In addition, the goddess may have heard this story told by her... Note ①

Lilith, whose name is full of characteristics, is not within the scope of Alice's suspicion for the time being. After all, she may not have chosen the name herself, not to mention that the vampires don't sound like they can be related to the "Prophet"...

In fact, it's not a big deal as long as "Cassandra" doesn't first hear the story from her past self.

Obviously, what really matters here is whether "Cassandra" recognizes her in the past, whether the written honorary name pointing to her is a coincidence, and...

What did she do with the knowledge in the "Prophet" potion?

Alice got a headache when she thought about this problem.

Her surprise was so obvious that even her voice briefly changed its tone. Selwyn clearly noticed something was wrong. He stopped talking and looked at Alice.

It's broken... After Alice looked at him quietly for two seconds, she thought of the remedy. She chuckled and sighed:

“So that’s how it is…no wonder.

"Maybe we're all wrong, maybe... maybe that book is the real Cassandra."

Selwyn's eyes widened.

Alice curled her lips and continued:

"The dark blue ocean forms the cover, and silver runes write the text. It is an artifact that predicts the future, and it is also a treasure that can find hope for people in difficult times.

“Use it wisely and it will be your weapon to success.

"It's a pity that the real Cassandra has lost the ability to speak, and the one who is talking to you... is just a liar.

"She used Cassandra's name to deceive people. Those who were at a turning point in their destiny, those who longed for change, were all tempted by her and walked into the trap she carefully designed.

"And you, Selwyn Muggeridge.

"You are not the first victim - and certainly not the last."

Her figure and voice disappeared into the alley, leaving only Selwyn Muggeridge in a daze. (End of chapter)
